The partnership reported an EPS of $-0.20, falling well short of the $-0.06 consensus estimate, a miss of 233.33%, even as revenue reached $862.48 million against expectations of $735.09 million, a beat of 17.33%, though revenue still declined 8.4% from the year-ago period. The headline loss was driven in part by $8.50 million in impairment charges tied to CrossAmerica's ongoing asset rationalization program, which weighed on results despite a $5.60 million gain from real estate dispositions softening the blow. The retail segment emerged as the clearest bright spot, with gross profit climbing 16% on the back of a 17% expansion in company-operated site count and stronger fuel margins, though softer same-store volumes and a Distribution Coverage Ratio that fell to 0.46x for the quarter underscored the pressures still facing the fuel distribution partnership.

Key Takeaways

  • Retail segment gross profit increased 16% driven by 17% increase in average company-operated site count
  • Retail motor fuel margin per gallon increased 10% to $0.339 driven by crude oil price movements and market volatility
  • Wholesale margin per gallon increased 23% driven by fuel market volatility and better product sourcing costs
  • Net gains of $5.6 million from real estate rationalization asset sales
  • Conversion of lessee dealer sites to company-operated and commission agent sites
  • Rising interest expense pressured Distributable Cash Flow, declining 22% year-over-year

“The first quarter was once again a challenging start to the year for the industry overall. While our EBITDA improved modestly compared to the prior year, our results reflect the difficult operating environment.”
