The Company completed its initial public offering of 12,570,223 shares of its Class A common stock at a price to the public of $18.00 per share (the “IPO”) including the exercise by the underwriters of their overallotment option, representing an aggregate of 26.4% of the economic interests in the Company.
The Company applied $206.7 million of proceeds from the IPO to reduce debt during the quarter and strengthened an already conservative balance sheet, creating further financial flexibility for the Company.
As part of the ongoing transformation plan of the Company's controlling stockholder, ARKO Corp. (Nasdaq: ARKO) ("ARKO"), 41 ARKO retail convenience stores that sell fuel ("ARKO Retail Sites") were converted to dealer locations in the Company's wholesale segment during the first quarter of 2026, bringing total conversions since program inception in 2024 to 450 sites. ARKO has approximately 75 additional sites committed either under letter of intent, under contract or already converted since quarter end. The Company expects to complete these conversions, along with additional conversions, by the end of 2026.
The Company continues to target 20 new-to-industry fleet fueling locations with openings in 2026, with one opened in March 2026, and 17 of which are in process, reflecting the attractive, durable cash flow profile of its fleet fueling business.

“We are excited to share that APC delivered strong year-over-year growth, in its first quarter as a public company, continuing on the momentum we built through the end of 2025,” said Arie Kotler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of APC. “We saw growth in operating income across all three of our segments, which underscores the resilience of our platform, enabling us to perform even during volatile market conditions. With our low leverage, and liquidity of approximately $731 million, we are well-positioned to grow share in a highly fragmented industry through new to industry builds in our fleet fueling segment and through disciplined, accretive M&A in our wholesale segment and to drive long-term shareholder value.”

First Quarter 2026 Segment Highlights

Wholesale Segment

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
	(in thousands)
Fuel gallons sold – fuel supply locations		198,400		191,077
Fuel gallons sold – consignment agent locations		35,540		36,515
Fuel contribution ¹ – fuel supply locations	$	12,662	$	11,453
Fuel contribution ¹ – consignment agent locations	$	10,229	$	8,594
Fuel margin, cents per gallon ² – fuel supply locations		6.4		6.0
Fuel margin, cents per gallon ² – consignment agent locations		28.8		23.5

¹ Calculated as fuel revenue less fuel costs; excludes the fixed margin or fixed fee paid to the GPMP segment for the cost of fuel.
² Calculated as fuel contribution divided by fuel gallons sold.
Note: Comparable wholesale sites exclude wholesale sites added through ARKO Retail Sites converted to dealer locations until the first quarter in which these sites had a full quarter of wholesale activity in the prior year. Refer to Use of Non-GAAP Measures below.

For the first quarter of 2026, wholesale operating income increased by $4.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 as a result of additional operating income from ARKO Retail Sites converted to dealer locations combined with increased operating income at comparable wholesale sites.

For the first quarter of 2026, fuel contribution increased by $2.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. Fuel contribution for the first quarter of 2026 at fuel supply locations increased by $1.2 million due to incremental contribution from ARKO Retail Sites converted to dealer locations, which was partially offset by lower fuel contribution at comparable wholesale sites. Fuel contribution for the first quarter of 2026 at consignment agent locations increased $1.6 million due to incremental contribution from ARKO Retail Sites converted to dealer locations and higher fuel contribution at comparable wholesale sites. As compared to the first quarter of 2025, fuel margin per gallon increased 0.4 cents per gallon at fuel supply locations and 5.3 cents per gallon at consignment agent locations, primarily as a result of significant volatility in the fuel market due to the geopolitical environment and increased prompt pay discounts related to higher fuel costs.

For the first quarter of 2026, other revenues, net increased by $6.2 million, and site operating expenses increased by $5.2 million, in each case as compared to the first quarter of 2025, resulting primarily from ARKO Retail Sites converted to dealer locations.

Fleet Fueling Segment

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
	(in thousands)
Fuel gallons sold – proprietary cardlock locations		30,517		31,918
Fuel gallons sold – third-party cardlock locations		3,446		3,175
Fuel contribution ¹ – proprietary cardlock locations	$	15,942	$	14,706
Fuel contribution ¹ – third-party cardlock locations	$	803	$	596
Fuel margin, cents per gallon ² – proprietary cardlock locations		52.2		46.1
Fuel margin, cents per gallon ² – third-party cardlock locations		23.4		18.7

¹ Calculated as fuel revenue less fuel costs; excludes the fixed margin or fixed fee paid to the GPMP segment for the cost of fuel.
² Calculated as fuel contribution divided by fuel gallons sold.

Fuel contribution for the first quarter of 2026 increased by $1.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. At proprietary cardlocks, fuel contribution increased by $1.2 million, and fuel margin per gallon also increased for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. At third-party cardlock locations, fuel contribution increased $0.2 million, and fuel margin per gallon also increased for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. These increases were primarily due to favorable diesel margins as a result of significant volatility in the fuel market due to the geopolitical environment.

GPMP Segment

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
	(in thousands)
Fuel gallons sold – inter-segment		255,342		222,858
Fuel gallons sold – related party locations		182,732		211,660
Fuel contribution ¹ – related party locations	$	10,965	$	10,583
Fuel margin, cents per gallon ² – fuel supply locations		6.0		5.0

¹ Calculated as fuel revenue less fuel costs^.
² Calculated as fuel contribution divided by fuel gallons sold.

For the first quarter of 2026, fuel revenue – related party decreased by $59.9 million, or 10.4%, compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by a $28.9 million, or 13.7%, decrease in gallons sold, reflecting the challenging macroeconomic environment as well as severe weather conditions in the quarter in several markets in which the Company operates, as well as the impact from ARKO Retail Sites converted to dealer locations, which was partially offset by an increase in the average price of fuel in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Fuel contribution – related party increased by $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to an increase in the fixed margin from 5.0 cents per gallon sold for the first quarter of 2025 to 6.0 cents per gallon sold for the first quarter of 2026, partially offset by fewer gallons sold to ARKO Retail Sites.

Liquidity and Capital Expenditures

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s total liquidity was approximately $731 million, consisting of approximately $22 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $709 million of availability under the Company's lines of credit. Total debt, net was approximately $184.5 million, resulting in Net Debt (as defined below) of approximately $313.5 million. The IPO bolstered the Company's liquidity position, as the Company used the net proceeds to repay $206.7 million of indebtedness during the quarter. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, maintenance capital expenditures were $2.5 million and growth capital expenditures were $3.5 million, including the investments in NTI fleet fueling locations, purchase of fuel dispensers and other investments in the Company's sites.

Quarterly Dividend

The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.26 per share of common stock which was paid on April 21, 2026 to stockholders of record as of April 10, 2026. This dividend was in respect of the pro-rata portion of the first quarter of 2026 during which the Company was public, and is consistent with an expected annual dividend rate of $2.00 per share. For illustrative purposes, this anticipated annual dividend represents an 11% to 10% dividend yield at a share price of $18.50 to $19.50 per share. The Company's dividend for the second quarter of 2026 is expected to be $0.50 per share of common stock to be paid after the Company releases its second quarter results.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may address, among other things, the Company’s expected financial and operational results and the related assumptions underlying its expected results. These forward-looking statements are distinguished by use of words such as “accretive,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “guidance,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and the negative of these terms, and similar references to future periods. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to, among other things, changes in economic, business and market conditions; the Company’s ability to maintain the listing of its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market; changes in its strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans; expansion plans and opportunities; changes in the markets in which it competes; changes in applicable laws or regulations, including those relating to environmental matters; market conditions and global and economic factors beyond its control; the success of ARKO's transformation plan and its effect on the Company, including the dealerization of retail stores; and the outcome of any known or unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings. Detailed information about these factors and additional important factors can be found in the documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements were made. The Company does not undertake an obligation to update forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable law.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company discloses certain measures on a “comparable wholesale sites” basis, which is a non-GAAP measure. Information disclosed on a “comparable wholesale sites” basis excludes wholesale sites added through ARKO Retail Sites converted to dealer locations until the first quarter in which these sites had a full quarter of wholesale activity in the prior year. The Company believes that this information is useful for its investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties by providing greater comparability regarding its ongoing operating performance. Neither this measure nor those described below should be considered an alternative to measurements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

The Company defines EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA by excluding the gain or loss on disposal of assets, impairment charges, acquisition costs, share-based compensation expense, other non-cash items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for operational and financial decision-making and believe these measures are useful in evaluating its performance because they eliminate certain items that it does not consider indicators of its operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by many of its investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in evaluating its operational and financial performance across reporting periods. The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors by allowing an understanding of key measures that it uses internally for operational decision-making, budgeting, evaluating acquisition targets, and assessing its operating performance.

The Company defines Net Debt as the sum of total debt, net, financing leases and financial liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt is used by management to measure the effective level of our indebtedness.

The Company defines the Ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA as the ratio derived by dividing Net Debt by Adjusted EBITDA. The Ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure used by management to evaluate the Company's access to liquidity, and the Company believes it provides useful information for investors as a representation of its financial strength by presenting the sustainability of its debt levels and its ability to take on additional debt against Adjusted EBITDA, which is used as an operating performance measure. The Ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies to analyze the Company's operating performance.

The Company defines Discretionary Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities, (i) less changes in operating assets and liabilities, maintenance capital expenditures, charges to allowance for credit losses, and non-cash rent expense, and (ii) plus acquisition costs, amortization of deferred income net of prepaid to related party, and certain other expenses (income). Discretionary Cash Flow will not reflect changes in working capital balances. Discretionary Cash Flow is a liquidity measure the Company and third parties, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others, use to assess its ability to internally fund its acquisitions, pay dividends, and service or incur additional debt. The Company believes that the presentation of Discretionary Cash Flow provides useful information to investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties for evaluating its liquidity.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt, the Ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Discretionary Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to any financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, including net income and net cash provided by operating activities. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for the analysis of its results as reported under GAAP. The Company strongly encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, comparable wholesale sites, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt, the Ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Discretionary Cash Flow, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. It therefore may not be possible to compare the Company’s use of these non-GAAP financial measures with those used by other companies.
