“CrossAmerica had another excellent quarter with continued strong operating results in fuel margins, fuel volume and store merchandise sales and margin,” said Charles Nifong, President and CEO of CrossAmerica. “While retail fuel margins were down from the extraordinary quarter last year, the overall business still performed well for the current quarter.

Third Quarter Results
Consolidated Results
Key Operating Metrics Q3 2023 Q3 2022 Net Income $12.3M $27.6M Adjusted EBITDA $44.2M $62.2M Distributable Cash Flow $31.4M $50.9M Distribution Coverage Ratio: Current Quarter 1.57x 2.55x Distribution Coverage Ratio: Trailing Twelve Months 1.43x 1.74x CrossAmerica reported declines in Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2023 compared to the exceptionally strong results of the third quarter 2022. For the third quarter 2023, the decrease in Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by declines in gross profit in both the wholesale and retail segments, as the partnership experienced extraordinary motor fuel margins in the third quarter 2022. The year-over-year decline in Distributable Cash Flow was primarily driven by the decline in Adjusted EBITDA noted above in addition to a $2.2 million increase in interest expense for the quarter when compared to the third quarter of 2022.
Wholesale Segment
Key Operating Metrics Q3 2023 Q3 2022 Wholesale segment gross profit $32.9M $34.1M Wholesale motor fuel gallons distributed 217.3M 212.7M Average wholesale gross profit per gallon $ 0.086 $ 0.092 During the third quarter 2023, CrossAmerica’s wholesale segment gross profit declined 4% compared to the third quarter 2022. This was primarily driven by a decrease in motor fuel gross profit, which was driven by a 7% decrease in fuel margin per gallon, partially offset by a 2% increase in wholesale volume distributed. The decrease in fuel margin per gallon was primarily attributable to lower fuel margin on variably priced wholesale contracts during the quarter relative to last year and to the lower cost of fuel and a corresponding decline in CrossAmerica's fuel purchase terms discounts on certain gallons during the third quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year. This was partially offset by better sourcing costs as a result of brand consolidation and other initiatives. The fuel margin per gallon of $0.086 for the third quarter 2023 compared favorably to both the first and second quarters 2023 ($0.083 and $0.082 per gallon, respectively). The increase in wholesale fuel volume was driven primarily by the Community Service Stations, Inc. assets acquired during the fourth quarter 2022, partially offset by the net loss of independent dealer contracts and the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated sites.
Retail Segment
Key Operating Metrics Q3 2023 Q3 2022 Retail segment gross profit $67.6M $80.6M Retail segment motor fuel gallons distributed 132.2M 126.7M Same store motor fuel gallons distributed 121.8M 119.6M Retail segment motor fuel gross profit $36.2M $54.5M Retail segment margin per gallon, before deducting credit card fees and commissions $ 0.372 $ 0.534 Same store merchandise sales excluding cigarettes* $53.3M $49.1M Merchandise gross profit* $25.4M $20.6M Merchandise gross profit percentage* 28.7 % 27.1 % *Includes only company operated retail sites
For the third quarter 2023, the retail segment generated a 16% decrease in gross profit compared to the third quarter 2022. The decline for the third quarter 2023 was due to a decrease in motor fuel gross profit, partially offset by an increase in merchandise gross profit.
The retail segment sold 132.2 million retail fuel gallons during the third quarter 2023, which was an increase of 4% when compared to the third quarter 2022. Retail segment fuel gallons increased during the third quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year due to the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated sites and higher same store gallon performance relative to the prior year. Same store retail segment fuel volume for the third quarter 2023 increased 2% from 119.6 million gallons during the third quarter 2022 to 121.8 million gallons. While the fuel margin per gallon of $0.372 for the third quarter 2023 declined year-over-year due to the steep drop in crude oil prices during the third quarter 2022, it compared favorably to both the first and second quarters 2023 ($0.318 and $0.370 per gallon, respectively).
For the third quarter 2023, CrossAmerica’s merchandise gross profit and other revenue increased 24% when compared to the third quarter 2022, due to an increase in overall store sales as a result of an increase in the company operated site count due to the conversion of certain lessee dealer and commission agent sites to company operated sites and an increase in both merchandise gross profit percentage and same store sales. Same store merchandise sales, excluding cigarettes, increased 9% for the third quarter 2023 when compared to the third quarter 2022. The merchandise gross profit percentage increased to 28.7% for the third quarter 2023 from 27.1% for the third quarter 2022, primarily due to improved merchandise gross margins and merchandise sales shifting towards higher margin products.
Divestment Activity
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, CrossAmerica sold one property for $0.1 million in proceeds, resulting in a net gain of an insignificant amount. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, CrossAmerica sold eight properties for $8.3 million in proceeds, resulting in a net gain of $6.3 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, CrossAmerica had $762.5 million outstanding under its CAPL Credit Facility. As of November 2, 2023, after taking into consideration debt covenant restrictions, approximately $170.6 million was available for future borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility. Taking the interest rate swap contracts the Partnership currently has in place into account, CrossAmerica’s effective interest rate on the CAPL Credit Facility at September 30, 2023 was 4.9%. Leverage, as defined in the CAPL Credit Facility, was 4.35 times as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, CrossAmerica was in compliance with its financial covenants under the credit facility.
Distributions
On October 23, 2023, the Board of the Directors of CrossAmerica’s General Partner (“Board”) declared a quarterly distribution of $0.5250 per limited partner unit attributable to the third quarter 2023. As previously announced, the distribution will be paid on November 10, 2023 to all unitholders of record as of November 3, 2023. The amount and timing of any future distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board as provided in CrossAmerica’s Partnership Agreement.

(b) The increase in the independent dealer site count was primarily attributable to the acquisition of assets from Community Service Stations, Inc. and the ongoing real estate rationalization effort, partially offset by the net loss of contracts.
(c) The decrease in the lessee dealer site count was primarily attributable to the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated sites, largely in the second quarter of 2023, and CrossAmerica's real estate rationalization effort.Retail

Same store merchandise sales excludes branded food sales and other revenues such as lottery commissions and car wash sales.Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
CrossAmerica uses the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. EBITDA represents net income before deducting interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and accretion (which includes certain impairment charges). Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation expense, gains or losses on dispositions and lease terminations, net and certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees, separation benefit costs and certain other discrete non-cash items arising from purchase accounting. Distributable Cash Flow represents Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, sustaining capital expenditures and current income tax expense. The Distribution Coverage Ratio is computed by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by distributions paid on common units.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and lenders. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used to assess CrossAmerica’s financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure or income taxes and the ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess the operating performance of the Partnership’s business on a consistent basis by excluding the impact of items which do not result directly from the wholesale distribution of motor fuel, the leasing of real property, or the day to day operations of CrossAmerica’s retail site activities. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio are also used to assess the ability to generate cash sufficient to make distributions to CrossAmerica’s unitholders.
CrossAmerica believes the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio provides useful information to investors in assessing the financial condition and results of operations. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio should not be considered alternatives to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income. Additionally, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio may be defined differently by other companies in the industry, CrossAmerica’s definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
The following table presents reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow to net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except for per unit amounts):
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Net income (a) $ 12,292 $ 27,593 $ 25,849 $ 46,606 Interest expense 10,559 8,351 33,254 22,333 Income tax expense 1,468 3,815 2,603 1,843 Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense 19,096 21,329 58,214 61,523 EBITDA 43,415 61,088 119,920 132,305 Equity-based employee and director compensation expense 961 654 2,084 1,608 (Gain) loss on dispositions and lease terminations, net (287 ) 318 (5,220 ) 620 Acquisition-related costs (b) 120 107 1,361 985 Adjusted EBITDA 44,209 62,167 118,145 135,518 Cash interest expense (10,078 ) (7,668 ) (30,448 ) (20,280 ) Sustaining capital expenditures (c) (1,837 ) (1,974 ) (5,322 ) (5,191 ) Current income tax expense (905 ) (1,656 ) (1,458 ) (2,519 ) Distributable Cash Flow $ 31,389 $ 50,869 $ 80,917 $ 107,528 Distributions paid on common units 19,934 19,913 59,777 59,713 Distribution Coverage Ratio (a) 1.57x 2.55x 1.35x 1.80x (a) Beginning in 2022, CrossAmerica reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to Net income rather than to Net income available to limited partners. The difference between Net income and Net income available to limited partners is that, beginning in the second quarter of 2022, the accretion of preferred membership interests issued in late March 2022 is a deduction from Net income in computing Net income available to limited partners. Because Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess CrossAmerica’s financial performance without regard to capital structure, the partnership believes Adjusted EBITDA should be reconciled with Net income, so that the calculation isn’t impacted by the accretion of preferred membership interests. This approach is comparable to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income available to limited partners in past periods, as CrossAmerica has not recorded accretion of preferred membership interests in past periods.
(b) Relates to certain discrete acquisition-related costs, such as legal and other professional fees, separation benefit costs and certain purchase accounting adjustments associated with recently acquired businesses.
(c) Under the Partnership Agreement, sustaining capital expenditures are capital expenditures made to maintain CrossAmerica's long-term operating income or operating capacity. Examples of sustaining capital expenditures are those made to maintain existing contract volumes, including payments to renew existing distribution contracts, or to maintain the sites in conditions suitable to lease, such as parking lot or roof replacement/renovation, or to replace equipment required to operate the existing business.About CrossAmerica Partners LP
