Second Quarter Results
Consolidated Results
Key Operating Metrics Q2 2022 Q2 2021 Operating Income $21.1M $8.2M Adjusted EBITDA $41.4M $29.7M Distributable Cash Flow $32.4M $25.0M Distribution Coverage Ratio – Current Quarter 1.63x 1.26x Distribution Coverage Ratio - TTM ended 6/30/22 1.48x 1.22x CrossAmerica reported Operating Income of $21.1 million and Net Income of $14.0 million or earnings of $0.35 per diluted common unit for the second quarter 2022 compared to Operating Income of $8.2 million and Net Income of $4.8 million or earnings of $0.13 per diluted common unit during the same period of 2021. During the second quarter 2022, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow increased by 39% and 30%, respectively, as compared to the second quarter 2021. Each metric, as well as the Distribution Coverage Ratio, benefited from the overall performance in both the wholesale and retail segments, as well as the growth of the organization as a result of the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven during the second half of 2021.
Non-GAAP measures used in this release include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. These Non-GAAP measures are further described and reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this release.
Wholesale Segment
Key Operating Metrics Q2 2022 Q2 2021 Wholesale segment gross profit $55.0M $44.2M Wholesale motor fuel gallons distributed 342.8M 331.6M Average wholesale gross profit per gallon $ 0.118 $ 0.092 During the second quarter 2022, CrossAmerica’s wholesale segment gross profit increased 24% compared to the second quarter 2021. This was driven by an increase in motor fuel gross profit resulting from a 3% increase in fuel volume distributed and a 28% increase in fuel margin per gallon. The main driver of the volume increase was the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven. The Partnership’s wholesale fuel margin benefited from its ongoing strategic initiatives, increased volume to CrossAmerica’s company operated retail sites, higher dealer tank wagon (DTW) margins due to greater volatility in the price of crude oil and subsequent increase in fuel price volatility in the second quarter 2022 as compared to the second quarter 2021 and higher terms discounts as a result of higher fuel prices during the quarter as compared to the same period in 2021.
Retail Segment
Key Operating Metrics Q2 2022 Q2 2021 Retail segment gross profit $34.9M $21.1M Retail motor fuel gallons distributed 128.8M 89.8M Same store retail motor fuel gallons distributed 45.1M 44.3M Motor fuel gross profit $9.3M $4.9M Same store merchandise sales excluding cigs. $28.2M $28.0M Merchandise gross profit $20.2M $12.0M Merchandise gross profit percentage 27.3 % 26.5 % For the second quarter 2022, the retail segment generated a 66% increase in gross profit compared to the second quarter 2021 due to increased retail fuel gallons sold, higher fuel margins and higher merchandise gross profit.
The retail segment sold 128.8 million of retail fuel gallons during the second quarter 2022, a 43% increase over second quarter 2021. This increased volume resulted from the increase in company operated sites as a result of the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven, which occurred primarily during the third quarter 2021. Same store fuel volume for the second quarter 2022 increased to 45.1 million gallons from 44.3 million gallons during the second quarter 2021, an increase of 2%. Additionally, the retail segment generated higher fuel margins for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021 due to the segment having a higher proportion of company operated retail locations as compared to commission agent locations than during the second quarter 2021.
CrossAmerica’s merchandise gross profit and other revenue increased due to the increase in company operated sites driven by the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven, which occurred primarily during the third quarter 2021. Merchandise gross profit percentage increased from 26.5% to 27.3% with same store merchandise sales excluding cigarettes increasing approximately1% for the second quarter 2022 when compared to the second quarter 2021.
Divestment Activity
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, CrossAmerica sold five and nine properties for $2.3 million and $3.8 million in proceeds, resulting in a net gain of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, CrossAmerica had $626.6 million outstanding under its CAPL Credit Facility and $159.0 million outstanding under its JKM Credit Facility. As of August 4, 2022, after taking into consideration debt covenant restrictions, approximately $135.5 million was available for future borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility. Leverage, as defined in the CAPL Credit Facility, which excludes any pro forma EBITDA from CrossAmerica’s recent acquisition, was 4.5 times as of June 30, 2022, compared to 5.1 times as of December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, CrossAmerica was in compliance with its financial covenants under the credit facilities.
Distributions
On July 21, 2022, 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 second quarter 2022. As previously announced, the distribution will be paid on August 10, 2022 to all unitholders of record as of August 3, 2022.

(b) The decrease in the independent dealer site count was primarily attributable to loss of contracts, most of which were lower margin, partially offset by the increase in independent dealer sites as a result of the real estate rationalization effort and the resulting reclassification of the sites from a lessee dealer or commission site to an independent dealer site when CrossAmerica continues to supply the sites after divestiture.
(c) The decreases in the lessee dealer and commission agent site counts were primarily attributable to the real estate rationalization effort.
(d) The increase in the company operated site count was primarily attributable to the 106 company operated sites from the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven, which occurred primarily during the third quarter 2021.

Same store merchandise sales includes store and cigarette sales and 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.
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 June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net income (a) $ 13,966 $ 4,789 $ 19,013 $ 822 Interest expense 7,321 3,870 13,982 7,367 Income tax benefit (113 ) (293 ) (1,972 ) (599 ) Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense 19,919 19,583 40,194 37,614 EBITDA 41,093 27,949 71,217 45,204 Equity-based employee and director compensation expense 222 386 954 754 (Gain) loss on dispositions and lease terminations, net 58 (597 ) 302 51 Acquisition-related costs (b) 10 1,967 878 4,361 Adjusted EBITDA 41,383 29,705 73,351 50,370 Cash interest expense (6,631 ) (3,610 ) (12,612 ) (6,846 ) Sustaining capital expenditures (c) (1,663 ) (1,040 ) (3,217 ) (2,432 ) Current income tax expense (678 ) (50 ) (863 ) (334 ) Distributable Cash Flow $ 32,411 $ 25,005 $ 56,659 $ 40,758 Distributions paid 19,904 19,884 39,800 39,765 Distribution Coverage Ratio (d) 1.63x 1.26x 1.42x 1.02x (a) Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, CrossAmerica reconciled 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 our financial performance, without regard to capital structure, CrossAmerica 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 EBIDTA to Net income available to limited partners in past periods, as the Partnership 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.
(d) In 2022, CrossAmerica updated its calculation of its Distribution Coverage Ratio to divide Distributable Cash Flow by distributions paid, whereas in prior periods, the Distribution Coverage Ratio was calculated as Distributable Cash Flow divided by the weighted-average diluted common units and then divided that result by distributions paid per limited partner unit.
