Exhibit 99.1

 

CrossAmerica Partners LP Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results

 

Allentown, PA November 7, 2019 – CrossAmerica Partners LP (NYSE: CAPL) (“CrossAmerica” or the “Partnership”), a leading wholesale fuels distributor and owner and lessor of real estate used in the retail distribution of motor fuels, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

 

Gerardo Valencia, CEO and President of CrossAmerica, said, “Our third quarter 2019 Distributable Cash Flow grew 29% to $25.7 million, with a coverage ratio of 1.42 times, driving our trailing twelve months coverage to 1.14 times. Both are the highest in the last 3 years, reflecting the success in implementing our strategy.” Valencia went on to say, “As of September, we have now completed two asset exchanges with our General Partner and expect to complete the final exchange in the first quarter of 2020. We also announced on October 1^st the closing of our agreement with Applegreen to operate 46 company operated retail sites in the Upper Midwest. This now positions us to be solely focused on our wholesale operations going forward.”

 

Third Quarter Results

 

Consolidated Results

 

Operating income was $12.3 million for the third quarter 2019 compared to $13.7 million for the third quarter 2018, representing a decrease of $1.3 million, and Net income was $7.2 million for the third quarter 2019 compared to Net income of $5.3 million for the third quarter 2018, representing an increase of $1.9 million or 35%. EBITDA was $26.4 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to $27.6 million for the same period in 2018, representing a decline of 4%. Adjusted EBITDA was $29.0 million for the third quarter 2019 compared to $28.6 million for the same period in 2018, representing an increase of 1%. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily as a result of an improvement in wholesale fuel margin per gallon, partially offset by the new lease accounting guidance (ASC 842). Lease payments on the Partnership’s previous sale-leaseback transactions totaling $1.8 million per quarter were characterized as principal and interest expense in periods prior to 2019. However, beginning with the first quarter 2019 this is now characterized as rent expense, thus reducing these non-GAAP measures. Also partially offsetting the increase was a decline in gross profit in the Retail segment. Non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, as described are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the Supplemental Disclosure section of this release.

Wholesale Segment

 

During the third quarter 2019, CrossAmerica’s Wholesale segment generated $36.2 million in gross profit compared to $33.8 million in gross profit for the third quarter 2018. The Partnership distributed, on a wholesale basis, 260.3 million gallons of motor fuel at an average wholesale gross profit of $0.080 per gallon, resulting in motor fuel gross profit of $20.8 million. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, CrossAmerica distributed, on a wholesale basis, 270.3 million gallons of fuel at an average wholesale gross profit of $0.068 per gallon, resulting in motor fuel gross profit of $18.4 million. The 13% increase in motor fuel gross profit was primarily due to an 18% increase in fuel margin per gallon. The main driver of the increase was a $1.3 million improvement in CrossAmerica’s fuel margin from sites in its Alabama market driven by the rebranding of these sites beginning November 1, 2018 and the concurrent change in terms under a subjobber agreement with Circle K and a $1.3 million improvement in CrossAmerica’s dealer tank wagon (DTW) margins as a result of movements in crude oil prices between the two periods. This was partially offset by a reduction of $0.8 million in Terms Discounts in 2019 as compared to 2018 due to the decrease in motor fuel prices. Volume declined 4% primarily as a result of the 2018 divestitures mandated by FTC orders and the termination or non-renewal of fuel supply contracts (a significant number of which were low margin).

 

The prices paid by the Partnership to its motor fuel suppliers for wholesale motor fuel (which affects the cost of sales) are highly correlated to the price of crude oil. The average daily spot price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil decreased approximately 19% to $56.34 per barrel during the third quarter 2019 as compared to $69.69 per barrel during the same period in 2018.  

 

CrossAmerica’s gross profit from Rent and Other for the Wholesale segment, which primarily consists of rental income, was $15.3 million for the third quarter 2019 compared to $15.4 million for the third quarter 2018, representing a decrease of 1%. The decline in Rent and Other was primarily as a result of the new lease accounting guidance. Lease payments on CrossAmerica’s previous sale-leaseback transactions totaling $1.7 million per quarter were characterized as principal and interest expense in 2018, whereas such payments are characterized as rent expense in 2019. Partially offsetting this decline was the incremental rent margin from the closed asset exchange transactions with Circle K, the impact of converting commission sites in the Retail segment to lessee dealer sites in the Wholesale segment and the dealerization of 46 company operated Upper Midwest sites in the third quarter 2019.

 

Operating expenses increased $1.3 million or 18% primarily as a result of higher insurance costs and a general increase in operating expenses driven by the addition of controlled sites from the closed asset exchange transactions with Circle K and the dealerization of 46 company operated Upper Midwest sites in the third quarter 2019.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the Wholesale segment was $31.5 million for the third quarter 2019 compared to $30.0 million for the same period in 2018. As discussed above, the year-over-year increase was primarily driven by the increase in motor fuel gross profit (see Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information below).

 

Retail Segment

 

For the third quarter 2019, the Partnership sold 39.3 million gallons of motor fuel at an average retail motor fuel gross profit of $0.032 per gallon, net of commissions and credit card fees, resulting in motor fuel gross profit of $1.2 million. For the same period in 2018, CrossAmerica sold 53.6 million gallons in its retail segment at an average gross profit of $0.038 per gallon, net of commissions and credit card fees, resulting in motor fuel gross profit of $2.1 million. The decrease in motor fuel gross profit is attributable to a 27% decrease in volume driven by the 2018 divestitures of seven company operated Upper Midwest and two commission agent sites mandated by FTC orders, the conversion of commission sites in the Retail segment to lessee dealer sites in CrossAmerica’s Wholesale segment, the divestiture of 17 company operated Upper Midwest sites in May 2019 in connection with the first tranche of the asset exchange with Circle K and the dealerization of 46 company operated Upper Midwest sites in the third quarter 2019. Partially offsetting these decreases was that the Partnership realized a higher margin per gallon at its company operated sites in 2019 as compared to 2018, driven by the movement in crude oil prices throughout the two periods.

---

During the quarter, the Partnership generated $2.1 million in gross profit from merchandise and services versus $6.5 million for the same period in 2018. This decrease was driven by the 2018 divestitures of seven company operated Upper Midwest sites mandated by FTC orders, the May 2019 first tranche of the asset exchange with Circle K and the dealerization of 46 company operated Upper Midwest sites in the third quarter 2019. Gross profit from Rent and Other for the Retail segment was $1.6 million for the third quarter 2019 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2018, reflecting an increase of 3%. Lease payments on the previous sale-leaseback transactions totaling $0.1 million were characterized as principal and interest expense in 2018, whereas such payments were characterized as rent expense in 2019. The decrease in rent and other gross profit as a result of converting commission sites in the Retail segment to lessee dealer sites in the Wholesale segment was more than offset by the incremental rent margin generated by CrossAmerica’s Alabama sites as a result of dispenser upgrades and rebranding of the sites.

 

Operating expenses declined $3.6 million or 45% primarily as a result of the 2018 divestitures of seven company operated Upper Midwest and two commission agent sites mandated by FTC orders, the divestiture of 17 company operated Upper Midwest sites in May 2019 in connection with the first asset exchange transaction with Circle K, the conversion of commission sites in CrossAmerica’s Retail segment to lessee dealer sites in the Wholesale segment and the dealerization of 46 company operated Upper Midwest sites in the third quarter 2019.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the Retail segment was $0.5 million for the third quarter 2019 compared to $2.1 million for the third quarter 2018.  

 

The decline in gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to the 2018 divestitures of seven company operated sites in the Upper Midwest and two commission sites mandated by FTC orders, the divestiture of 17 company operated Upper Midwest sites in May 2019 in connection with the asset exchange with Circle K, the conversion of commission sites in CrossAmerica’s Retail segment to lessee dealer sites in the Wholesale segment and the dealerization of 46 company operated Upper Midwest sites in the third quarter 2019 (see Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information below).

 

Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio

 

Distributable Cash Flow was $25.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, compared to $20.0 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in Distributable Cash Flow was primarily due to a current tax benefit generated by the closed asset exchange transactions as well as the dispenser upgrades and rebranding costs at CrossAmerica’s Alabama sites and the reduction in operating and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the impact of the FTC divestitures and the new lease accounting guidance. The Distribution Coverage Ratio for the current quarter was 1.42 times. The Distribution Coverage Ratio was 1.14 times for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 0.99 times for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2018. Information regarding Distributable Cash Flow and other non-GAAP measures are further described to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this release.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The amount of availability under the New Credit Agreement at November 4, 2019, after taking into consideration debt covenant restrictions, was $123.5 million.

Distributions

On October 24, 2019, 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 of 2019. As previously announced, the distribution will be paid on November 12, 2019 to all unitholders of record as of November 5, 2019. The amount and timing of any future distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board (see Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information below).

Impact of Adopting New FASB Lease Accounting Guidance

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02–Leases (ASC 842). This standard modifies existing guidance for reporting organizations that enter into leases to increase transparency by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance became effective for CrossAmerica on January 1, 2019.

As was noted in CrossAmerica’s 2018 Form 10-K (Annual Report), certain previous sale-leaseback transactions that were accounted for similarly to capital leases were required to be reassessed under the new guidance as part of adopting ASC 842. These leases are accounted for as operating leases under the new guidance, and so the $42.0 million of net property and equipment and $76.1 million of sale-leaseback financing obligations recorded on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 were removed as part of the transition adjustment effective January 1, 2019.

Since CrossAmerica is not restating prior periods as part of adopting this guidance, the results in 2019 are not directly comparable to the results for periods before 2019. Specifically, payments on these sale-leaseback obligations were characterized as principal and interest expense in periods prior to 2019. Starting in 2019, these payments are characterized as rent expense and thus reduce gross profit particularly from the wholesale segment, operating income, income before income taxes, and net income relative to the results reported for periods prior to 2019.

The adoption of the new lease standard does not affect the Partnership’s covenant calculations with regard to its Credit Agreement, nor has there been any change in the underlying cash flows related to these leases. The adoption of the new lease standard, if it had been adopted January 1, 2018, would have impacted CrossAmerica’s full year 2018 financial results in the following manner: Adjusted EBITDA would have been lower by approximately $7.2 million, primarily affecting the Wholesale Segment, and Distributable Cash Flow would have been lower by approximately $1.7 million. CrossAmerica anticipates a similar effect on its 2019 financial results. Non-GAAP measures used in this release include Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, which non-GAAP measures are further described to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this release.

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

CrossAmerica uses non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. EBITDA represents net income available to the Partnership before deducting interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion (which includes certain impairment charges). Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude equity funded expenses related to incentive compensation and the Amended Omnibus Agreement, gains or losses on dispositions and lease terminations, net, certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees and separation benefit expenses associated with recently acquired companies, 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. Distribution Coverage Ratio is computed by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by the weighted average diluted common units and then dividing that result by the distributions paid per limited partner unit.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of the CrossAmerica financial statements, such as investors and lenders. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used to assess the 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 CrossAmerica 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 the Partnership’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 the Partnership’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, the Partnership’s definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio are also used to assess our ability to generate cash sufficient to make distributions to our unit-holders. We believe the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio provides useful information to investors in assessing our 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 our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

New Lease Accounting Effective in 2019 Pro Forma EBITDA and Distribution Coverage for Third Quarter Results (in thousands, except for per unit amounts) Note: The reported Gross Profit for the third quarter of 2018 was $43,798,000. Adjusting for the impact of the lease accounting ($1,807,000), the adjusted Gross Profit was $41,991,000 for the third quarter of 2018.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation 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):   (a)As further discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, we adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019, and as a result, our results for the three months ended September 30, 2019 are not directly comparable to the results for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Most significantly, payments on our previous failed sale-leaseback obligations were characterized as principal and interest expense in periods prior to 2019. Starting in 2019, these payments are characterized as rent expense. These payments for the Wholesale and Retail segments amounted to approximately $1.7 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Of the total payments, $1.4 million was classified as interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018. (b)As approved by the independent conflicts committee of the Board, the Partnership and Circle K mutually agreed to settle certain amounts due under the terms of the Amended Omnibus Agreement in limited partner units of the Partnership. (c)In June 2018, we executed master fuel supply and master lease agreements with Applegreen, to whom we transitioned 43 sites in Florida from DMS in the third quarter of 2018. During the second quarter of 2018, in connection with this transition, we accrued a $3.8 million contract termination payment paid in cash to DMS during the third quarter of 2018. Additionally, we recorded a $2.2 million charge to write off deferred rent income related to our recapture of these sites from the master lease agreement with DMS. (d)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. (e)Under the Partnership Agreement, sustaining capital expenditures are capital expenditures made to maintain our 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 our sites in conditions suitable to lease, such as parking lot or roof replacement/renovation, or to replace equipment required to operate the existing business. (f)Consistent with prior divestitures, the current income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 excludes income tax incurred on the sale of sites in connection with the Second Asset Exchange (recorded as a charge against equity). This period also includes the tax benefit of 100% bonus depreciation on the eligible assets acquired in the Second Asset Exchange as well as the dispenser upgrades and rebranding costs at the Partnership’s Alabama sites. (g)On October 24, 2019, the Board approved a quarterly distribution of $0.5250 per unit attributable to the third quarter of 2019. The distribution is payable on November 12, 2019 to all unitholders of record on November 5, 2019. (h)The distribution coverage ratio is computed by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by the weighted-average diluted common units and then dividing that result by the distributions paid per limited partner unit.
