Description of Business, Concentration Risk and Other Disclosures

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OTHER DISCLOSURES

CST’s Merger Agreement

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Circle K Stores Inc. will, through its acquisition of CST, control CST’s interest in the General Partner and CST’s 20.2% limited partner interest in CrossAmerica as well as own all of the IDRs. The closing of the transaction is subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals in the United States and Canada. The transaction is currently expected to close in the second quarter of 2017.

Description of Business

Our business consists of:


•	the wholesale distribution of motor fuels;


•	the retail distribution of motor fuels to end customers at retail sites operated by commission agents or us;


•	the owning or leasing of retail sites used in the retail distribution of motor fuels and, in turn, generating rental income from the lease or sublease of the retail sites; and


•	the operation of retail sites.

The financial statements reflect the consolidated results of the Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Our primary operations are conducted by the following consolidated wholly owned subsidiaries:


•	LGW, which distributes motor fuels on a wholesale basis and generates qualified income under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;


•	LGPR, which functions as the real estate holding company of CrossAmerica and holds assets that generate rental income that is qualifying under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and

•

LGWS, which owns and leases (or leases and sub-leases) real estate and personal property used in the retail distribution of motor fuels, as well as provides maintenance and other services to its customers. In addition, LGWS distributes motor fuels on a retail basis and sells convenience merchandise items to end customers at company operated retail sites and sells motor fuel on a retail basis at sites operated by commission agents. Income from LGWS generally is not qualifying income under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code.

In 2015, we issued our common units as consideration in the purchase of equity interests in CST Fuel Supply and the real property associated with certain of CST’s NTI retail sites. In addition, we also issued, and may continue to issue, our common units as payment for charges and expenses incurred by us under the Amended Omnibus Agreement. There is no obligation for CST or our General Partner to accept partnership units in lieu of cash for amounts due under the Amended Omnibus Agreement. Pursuant to a common unit purchase program announced in September 2015, CST has, from time to time, also acquired our common units through open market purchases. The Merger Agreement prohibits CST from purchasing any of our common units. At March 31, 2017, after giving effect to these transactions, CST owned 20.2% of our limited partner interests.

Interim Financial Statements

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the Exchange Act. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to keep the information presented from being misleading. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K. Financial information as of March 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 included in the consolidated financial statements has been derived from our unaudited financial statements. Financial information as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from our audited financial statements and notes thereto as of that date.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. Our business exhibits seasonality due to our wholesale and retail sites being located in certain geographic areas that are affected by seasonal weather and temperature trends and associated changes in retail customer activity during different seasons. Historically, sales volumes have been highest in the second and third quarters (during the summer activity months) and lowest during the winter months in the first and fourth quarters.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results and outcomes could differ from those estimates and assumptions. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances could result in revised estimates and assumptions.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies described in our Form 10-K.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09–Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which results in comprehensive new revenue accounting guidance, requires enhanced disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized, and develops a common revenue standard under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Specifically, the core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. With the issuance of ASU 2015-14, which deferred the effective date by one year, this guidance is effective January 1, 2018. The guidance can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Although management continues to evaluate the impact of adopting this new guidance, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the financial statements, although it will affect disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02–Leases (Topic 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. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. Management continues to evaluate the impact of this new guidance, but the adoption will have a material impact on our balance sheet. We do not anticipate adopting this guidance early. We intend to apply each of the practical expedients in adopting this new guidance.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16–Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This standard requires companies to account for income tax effects of intercompany transactions other than inventory in the period in which the transfer occurs. This guidance is effective January 1, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective application through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We have chosen to early adopt the standard effective January 1, 2017, which had no impact as of the date of adoption but could impact us in the future.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01–Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This standard clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. ASU 2017-01 is effective for public fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. We have chosen to early adopt this standard effective January 1, 2017. Although there was no impact upon adoption, among other things, this guidance will result in the capitalization rather than expensing of acquisition costs in future transactions that will be accounted for as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations under the new definition of a business.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04–Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This standard removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for a Company's annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has elected to early adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2017, which had no impact upon adoption but could result in a change in the measurement of an impairment loss if an impairment was required to be recorded in the future.

Certain other new financial accounting pronouncements have become effective for our financial statements but the adoption of these pronouncements did not materially impact our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

Concentration Risk

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we distributed approximately 14% of our total wholesale distribution volumes to DMS and its affiliates and DMS and its affiliates accounted for approximately 23% of our rental income. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we distributed approximately 17% of our total wholesale distribution volumes to DMS and its affiliates and DMS and its affiliates accounted for approximately 30% of our rental income. For more information regarding transactions with DMS and its affiliates, see Note 7.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, our wholesale business purchased approximately 28%, 27% and 22% of its motor fuel from ExxonMobil, BP and Motiva (Shell), respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, our wholesale business purchased approximately 29%, 28% and 26% of its motor fuel from ExxonMobil, BP and Motiva (Shell), respectively. No other fuel suppliers accounted for 10% or more of our motor fuel purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Valero supplied substantially all of the motor fuel purchased by CST Fuel Supply during all periods presented. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, CST Fuel Supply purchased approximately 0.4 billion and 0.5 billion gallons of motor fuel from Valero, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we distributed 7% of our total wholesale distribution volume to CST retail sites that are not supplied by CST Fuel Supply and received 20% of our rental income from CST. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we distributed 8% of our total wholesale distribution volume to CST retail sites that are not supplied by CST Fuel Supply and received 22% of our rental income from CST.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we received 9% of our rental income from a lessee dealer that operates certain of the retail sites acquired through the PMI and One Stop acquisitions. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we received 6% of our rental income from this lessee dealer.

Our $550 million revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets. Letters of credit outstanding at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 totaled $6.5 million. The amount of availability at March 31, 2017 under the revolving credit facility, after taking into account debt covenant restrictions, was $85.7 million. In connection with future acquisitions, the revolving credit facility requires, among other things, that we have, after giving effect to such acquisition, at least $20.0 million in the aggregate of borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility and unrestricted cash on the balance sheet on the date of such acquisition.

Financial Covenants and Interest Rate

We are required to comply with certain financial covenants under the credit facility. We are required to maintain a total leverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility) for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters of less than or equal to 4.50 : 1.00, except for periods following a material acquisition. The total leverage ratio shall not exceed 5.00 : 1.00 for the first three full fiscal quarters following the closing of a material acquisition. If we issued Qualified Senior Notes (as defined in the credit facility) in the aggregate principal amount of $175.0 million or greater, the ratio shall not exceed 5.50 : 1.00. If we issued Qualified Senior Notes of $175.0 million or greater, we are also required to maintain a senior leverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility) of less than or equal to 3.00 : 1.00 and a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility) of at least 2.75 : 1.00. As of March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with these covenants.

Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.00%. Our borrowings had an interest rate of 3.95% as of March 31, 2017.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation Matters We are from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damages, environmental damages, employment-related claims and damages, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record a reserve when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we disclose matters for which management believes a material loss is at least reasonably possible. None of these proceedings, separately or in the aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In all instances, management has assessed the matter based on current information and made a judgment concerning its potential outcome, giving due consideration to the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought and the probability of success. Management’s judgment may prove materially inaccurate, and such judgment is made subject to the known uncertainties of litigation. We are a co-defendant, together with our General Partner, CST and CST Services LLC, in a lawsuit brought by Charles Nifong, a former employee of CST Services LLC who previously provided services to us as Chief Investment Officer and Vice President of Finance (Court of Common Pleas, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, case number 2015-1003). The plaintiff alleges breach of contract and associated claims relating to his termination of employment and claimed severance benefits under the EICP totaling approximately $1.6 million. We intend to contest the action vigorously. Under the EICP, we are obligated to pay reasonable legal expenses incurred by the plaintiff in connection with this dispute whether we are successful in our defense or not, which we expense as incurred. Environmental Matters Environmental liabilities related to the sites contributed to the Partnership in connection with our IPO have not been assigned to us, and are still the responsibility of the Predecessor Entity. Under the Amended Omnibus Agreement, the Predecessor Entity must indemnify us for any costs or expenses that it incurs for environmental liabilities and third-party claims, regardless of when a claim is made, that are based on environmental conditions in existence prior to the closing of the IPO for contributed sites. The Predecessor Entity’s environmental liabilities and indemnification assets associated with contributed sites amounted to $5.5 million and $3.5 million at March 31, 2017 and $6.1 million and $5.1 million at December 31, 2016.

Fair Value Measurements (Notes)	3 Months Ended
Fair Value Measurements (Notes)	Mar. 31, 2017
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS General We measure and report certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). U.S. GAAP specifies a three-level hierarchy that is used when measuring and disclosing fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The following is a description of the three hierarchy levels. Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Active markets are considered to be those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2—Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets. Level 3—Unobservable inputs are not corroborated by market data. This category is comprised of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using significant inputs that are generally less readily observable from objective sources. Transfers into or out of any hierarchy level are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which the transfers occurred. There were no transfers between any levels in 2017 or 2016. As further discussed in Note 10, we have accrued for unvested phantom units and vested and unvested profits interests as a liability and adjust that liability on a recurring basis based on the market price of our common units each balance sheet date. Such fair value measurements are deemed Level 1 measurements. Financial Instruments The fair value of our accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable approximated their carrying values as of March 31, 2017 and 2016 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the revolving credit facility approximated its carrying values of $448.5 million as of March 31, 2017 and $441.5 million as of December 31, 2016, due to the frequency with which interest rates are reset and the consistency of the market spread.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities.

Equity-Based Compensation [Abstract]
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION Overview We record equity-based compensation as a component of general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. Compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $0.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Partnership Equity-Based Awards No Partnership awards were granted to CST employees in the first quarter of 2017. Since we grant awards to employees of CST who provide services to us under the Amended Omnibus Agreement, and since the grants may be settled in cash, unvested phantom units and vested and unvested profits interests receive fair value variable accounting treatment. As such, they are measured at fair value at each balance sheet reporting date and the cumulative compensation cost recognized is classified as a liability, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The balance of the accrual at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 totaled $0.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively. CST Awards CST granted equity-based awards of approximately 47,000 in the form of time vested restricted stock units of CST and 102,000 in the form of time vested restricted stock units of CST, stock options of CST and market share units of CST for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which were granted to certain employees of CST for services rendered on our behalf. Expense associated with these awards that was charged to us under the Amended Omnibus Agreement was $0.7 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. At the completion of the Merger, each CST stock option, restricted share and restricted stock unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Merger, whether vested or unvested, will become fully vested and be converted into the right to receive a cash payment as defined in the Merger Agreement. At the completion of the Merger, each award of CST restricted stock units that was granted in February 2017 will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment as defined in the Merger Agreement, but such award will remain subject to the same vesting terms and payment schedule as those set forth in the original restricted stock unit award agreement; provided that, upon completion of the Merger, such award will vest in full upon an involuntary termination of employment without cause, or termination for “Good Reason”, or termination due to death, “Disability” or “Retirement.” Awards to Members of the Board In December 2016, the Partnership granted 11,476 phantom units to non-employee directors of the Board as a portion of director compensation. Such awards vest in December 2017. All director equity awards contain a provision providing for acceleration of vesting upon a change in control. The Merger will constitute a change in control for purposes of these awards. The liability for these awards at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $0.1 million. The associated compensation expense was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Net Income per Limited Partnership Unit Disclosure

NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNER UNIT

In addition to the common units, we have identified the IDRs as participating securities and compute income per unit using the two-class method under which any excess of distributions declared over net income shall be allocated to the partners based on their respective sharing of income as specified in the Partnership Agreement. Net income per unit applicable to limited partners is computed by dividing the limited partners’ interest in net income (loss), after deducting the IDRs, by the weighted-average number of outstanding common units.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of net income (loss) and weighted-average units used in computing basic and diluted net income (loss) per limited partner unit for the following periods (in thousands, except unit and per unit amounts):

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	INCOME TAXES As a limited partnership, we are not subject to federal and state income taxes, however our corporate subsidiaries are subject to income taxes. Income tax attributable to our taxable income, which may differ significantly from income for financial statement purposes, is assessed at the individual limited partner unit holder level. We are subject to a statutory requirement that non-qualifying income, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, cannot exceed 10% of total gross income for the calendar year. If non-qualifying income exceeds this statutory limit, we would be taxed as a corporation. The non-qualifying income did not exceed the statutory limit in any period presented. Certain activities that generate non-qualifying income are conducted through LGWS. LGWS is a tax paying corporate subsidiary of ours that is subject to federal and state income taxes. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized on the earnings of LGWS. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates. We recorded income tax benefits of $2.7 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, as a result of losses incurred by our corporate subsidiaries. The effective tax rate differs from the combined federal and state statutory rate because only LGWS is subject to income tax.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information Disclosure

SEGMENT REPORTING

We conduct our business in two segments: 1) the Wholesale segment and 2) the Retail segment. The wholesale segment includes the wholesale distribution of motor fuel to lessee dealers, independent dealers, commission agents, DMS, CST and company operated retail sites. We have exclusive motor fuel distribution contracts with lessee dealers who lease the property from us. We also have exclusive distribution contracts with independent dealers to distribute motor fuel but do not collect rent from the independent dealers. Similar to lessee dealers, we have motor fuel distribution agreements with DMS and CST and collect rent from both. The Retail segment includes the sale of convenience merchandise items, the retail sale of motor fuel at company operated retail sites and the retail sale of motor fuel at retail sites operated by commission agents. A commission agent is a retail site where we retain title to the motor fuel inventory and sell it directly to our end user customers. At commission agent retail sites, we manage motor fuel inventory pricing and retain the gross profit on motor fuel sales, less a commission to the agent who operates the retail site. Similar to our Wholesale segment, we also generate revenues through leasing or subleasing real estate in our Retail segment.

As part of our evaluation of the economic performance of our retail sites, we will from time to time convert company owned retail sites from our Retail segment to lessee dealers in our Wholesale segment. As a result, we no longer generate revenues from the retail sale of motor fuel or merchandise at these stores subsequent to the date of conversion and we no longer incur retail operating expenses related to these retail sites. However, we continue to supply these retail sites with motor fuel on a wholesale basis pursuant to the fuel supply contract with the lessee dealer. Further, we continue to own/lease the property and earn rental income under lease/sublease agreements with the lessee dealers under triple net leases. The lessee dealer owns all motor fuel and convenience merchandise and retains all gross profit on such operating activities.

Unallocated items consist primarily of general and administrative expenses, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, gains on sales of assets, net, and the elimination of the Retail segment’s intersegment cost of revenues from motor fuel sales against the Wholesale segment’s intersegment revenues from motor fuel sales. The profit in ending inventory generated by the intersegment motor fuel sales is also eliminated. Total assets by segment are not presented as management does not currently assess performance or allocate resources based on that data.

The following table reflects activity related to our reportable segments (in thousands):
