-

The Board of Directors of CrossAmerica’s General Partner declared a quarterly distribution of $0.6225 per limited partner unit attributable to the Second Quarter 2017  

Allentown, PA August 7, 2017 – 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

“Due to our prior acquisitions and integration efforts, we modestly grew Adjusted EBITDA for our investors in the second quarter, allowing us to increase our distribution for the 13th consecutive quarter,” said Jeremy Bergeron, President and CEO of CrossAmerica.  “With our pending acquisition of assets from Jet Pep in Alabama, we are off to a great start with Circle K as our general partner, as we execute our enhanced growth strategy together.”

Three Months

Consolidated Results

Operating income was $2.7 million for the second quarter 2017 compared to $9.4 million achieved in the second quarter 2016. EBITDA was $16.1 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $23.1 million for the same period in 2016.  Included in operating income and EBITDA for the second quarter 2017 is a $6.5 million charge recorded upon the closing of the CST Brands, Inc. (“CST”) and Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (“Couche-Tard”) merger, which was completed on June 28, 2017, for separation benefits and retention bonuses.  Adjusted EBITDA was $27.8 million for the second quarter 2017 compared to $27.1 million for the same period in 2016, representing an increase of 2%.  The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due primarily to an increase in the gross profit at CrossAmerica's wholesale segment from both motor fuel and rental income. (Non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, as described are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the Supplemental Disclosure section of this release).

 

 

1


 

Wholesale Segment

During the second quarter 2017, CrossAmerica’s wholesale segment generated $31.6 million in gross profit compared to $29.1 million in gross profit for the second quarter 2016, representing a 9% increase.  The Partnership distributed, on a wholesale basis, 266.5 million gallons of motor fuel at an average wholesale gross profit of $0.056 per gallon, resulting in motor fuel gross profit of $14.9 million. For the three month period ended June 30, 2016, CrossAmerica distributed, on a wholesale basis, 265.9 million gallons of fuel at an average wholesale gross profit of $0.054 per gallon, resulting in motor fuel gross profit of $14.3 million. The increase in motor fuel gross profit was primarily due to an increase in payment discounts and incentives due to the increase in motor fuel prices as a result of the increase in crude oil prices, increased dealer-tank wagon (DTW) margins as a result of the movements in crude prices throughout both periods and incremental volumes from the State Oil acquisition.  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 increased approximately 6% to $48.10 per barrel during the second quarter 2017 as compared to $45.46 per barrel during the same period in 2016.  This had a positive impact on payment terms discounts that the Partnership receives from its suppliers.

CrossAmerica’s gross profit from Rent and Other for the wholesale segment, which primarily consists of rental income, was $16.7 million for the second quarter 2017 compared to $14.8 million for the same period in 2016. The increase of 13% in Rent and Other was primarily associated with the State Oil acquisition completed in September 2016 and the continued conversion of company-operated stores to lessee dealer sites, partially offset by 25 DMS sites being converted to commission agent sites in 2016, which resulted in rent income from these 25 sites being included in the retail segment rather than the wholesale segment.

Adjusted EBITDA for the wholesale segment was $27.7 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $25.9 million for the same period in 2016.  As discussed above, the year-over-year improvement was driven by an increase in wholesale gross profit per gallon and in rental income during the quarter (see Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information below).

Retail Segment

For the second quarter 2017, the Partnership sold 40.6 million gallons of motor fuel at an average retail motor fuel gross profit of $0.051 per gallon, net of commissions and credit card fees, resulting in motor fuel gross profits of $2.1 million. For the same period in 2016, CrossAmerica sold 40.8 million gallons in its retail segment at an average gross profit of $0.058 per gallon, net of commissions and credit card fees, resulting in motor fuel gross profit of $2.4 million. The decline in motor fuel gross profit is primarily due to a decline in gallons sold related to the Partnership's execution of its dealerization strategy of converting company-operated stores to dealer-operated sites, as well as lower retail margins realized with the commission agent class of trade.  

During the quarter, the Partnership generated $6.8 million in gross profit from merchandise and services versus $8.0 million for the same period in 2016.  Gross profit from Rent and Other increased $0.1 million primarily from 25 DMS sites being converted to commission agent sites in 2016, which resulted in rent income from these 25 sites being included in the retail segment rather than the wholesale segment.  Operating expenses for the retail segment decreased $0.2 million from $8.7 million for the second quarter 2016 to $8.5 million for the second quarter 2017.  Adjusted EBITDA for the retail segment was $1.5 million for the second quarter 2017 compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2016.  The decreases in merchandise and services gross profit, operating expenses and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to the Partnership's dealerization strategy of converting company-operated stores to dealer-operated sites. (see Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information below).

Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio

Distributable Cash Flow was $21.2 million for both the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.  The flat Distributable Cash Flow was due primarily to an increase in EBITDA driven by the wholesale segment’s increase in motor fuel gross profit and rental income, partially offset by an increase in cash interest expense from additional borrowings to fund the Partnership’s recent acquisitions.  The Distribution Coverage Ratio was 1.01 times for the three months ended June 30, 2017 (see Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information below).

2


 

Six Months

Operating income was $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $15.3 million achieved in the same period of 2016.  EBITDA was $35.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $41.3 million for the same period in 2016.  Included in operating income and EBITDA in 2017 is a $6.5 million charge recorded upon the closing of the CST and Couche-Tard merger, which was completed on June 28, 2017, for separation benefits and retention bonuses.  Adjusted EBITDA was $51.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $49.3 million for the same period in 2016, representing an increase of 4%.  The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due primarily to an increase in the gross profit at the Partnership's wholesale segment primarily driven by an increase in both motor fuel gross profit and rental income (see Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information below).

Subsequent Event

On August 7, 2017, it was announced that CrossAmerica had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets of Holly Pond, AL based Jet Pep, Inc. for a total consideration of $72 million. The assets consist of 102 commission operated retail sites, including 92 fee sites, 5 lease sites and 5 independent commission accounts.  The locations sold nearly 91 million gallons of unbranded fuel in 2016.

The acquisition is subject to customary conditions to closing and is expected to close in the calendar fourth quarter of 2017.  The Partnership expects the acquisition to be accretive to distributable cash flow to limited partners.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of August 4, 2017, after taking into consideration debt covenant constraints, approximately $90.1 million was available for future borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility. In connection with future acquisitions, the revolving credit facility requires, among other things, that CrossAmerica have, after giving effect to such acquisition, at least, in the aggregate, $20 million of borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility and unrestricted cash on the balance sheet on the date of such acquisition.

Distributions

On July 26, 2017, the Board of the Directors of CrossAmerica’s General Partner (“Board”) declared a quarterly distribution of $0.6225 per limited partner unit attributable to the second quarter of 2017.  As previously announced, the distribution will be paid on August 14, 2017 to all unitholders of record as of August 7, 2017.  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).

(c)

In addition, as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, CrossAmerica distributed motor fuel to 14 sub-wholesalers who distributed to additional sites.

(d)

The increase in the independent dealer site count was primarily attributable to 25 wholesale fuel supply contracts acquired in the State Oil Assets acquisition, partially offset by a net 19 terminated motor fuel supply contracts that were not renewed.

(e)

The increase in the lessee dealer site count was primarily attributable to converting 9 company operated retail sites in the Retail segment to lessee dealers in the Wholesale segment and the 49 sites acquired in the September 2016 State Oil Assets acquisition.  

(f)

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Partnership recaptured 25 sites from DMS and operated them as commission agent sites. During the second quarter of 2017, CrossAmerica converted some of these recaptured sites to lessee dealers.

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. 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 sales of assets, certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees and severance 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 and subordinated 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 unit-holders.

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.

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):

(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)

On July 26, 2017, the Board approved a quarterly distribution of $0.6225 per unit attributable to the second quarter of 2017. The distribution is payable on August 14, 2017 to all unitholders of record on August 7, 2017.

(e)

The distribution coverage ratio is computed by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by the weighted average diluted common and subordinated units and then dividing that result by the distributions paid per limited partner unit.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP Financial Measures We use non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. EBITDA represents net income available to us before deducting interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and accretion. 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 sales of assets, certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees and severance 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 and subordinated 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 our financial statements, such as investors and lenders. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used to assess our 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 our 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 our 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 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 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 our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Acquisition-related costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 include severance and benefit expense and retention bonuses paid to certain EICP participants associated with CST’s merger with Couche-Tard. (c)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. (d)On July 26, 2017, the Board approved a quarterly distribution of $0.6225 per unit attributable to the second quarter of 2017. The distribution is payable on August 14, 2017 to all unitholders of record on August 7, 2017. (e)The distribution coverage ratio is computed by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by the weighted average diluted common and subordinated units and then dividing that result by the distributions paid per limited partner unit.
