Allentown, PA May 6, 2026 – CrossAmerica Partners LP (NYSE: CAPL) (“CrossAmerica” or the “Partnership”), a leading wholesale fuels distributor, convenience store operator, and owner and lessor of real estate used in the retail distribution of motor fuels, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
"We started the new year with a strong first quarter generating a record level of Adjusted EBITDA for the Partnership, as our business benefited from the strategic initiatives we have been focused on for the last several years,” said Maura Topper, CEO and President of CrossAmerica. “Our increased exposure to retail operations drove strong motor fuel and merchandise gross profit performance, while our team's disciplined focus on cost management helped us deliver solid results across the business. The fuels market has experienced significant volatility over the past several weeks, and I'm proud of how our team has executed through it — our model and our people are well-suited to navigate this kind of environment. We also continued to pay down our credit facility during the quarter, improving our interest expense and leverage, and further strengthening our balance sheet as we look ahead to the remainder of 2026."
First Quarter Results
Consolidated Results
Key Operating Metrics | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 |
Net Income (Loss) | $10.7M | ($7.1M) |
Adjusted EBITDA | $35.1M | $24.3M |
Distributable Cash Flow | $21.5M | $9.1M |
Distribution Coverage Ratio: Current Quarter | 1.07x | 0.46x |
Distribution Coverage Ratio: Trailing 12 Months | 1.25x | 1.04x |
CrossAmerica reported increases in Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by an increase in motor fuel margin per gallon and an increase in merchandise gross profit in the retail segment and an overall decline in operating and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a decline in gross profit for the wholesale segment. The increase for the first quarter of 2026 in Net Income, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage was primarily driven by the increase in Adjusted EBITDA noted above in addition to a $2.1 million decrease in interest expense due to a lower average interest rate along with a lower average outstanding debt balance.

*Includes only company operated retail sites
For the first quarter of 2026, the retail segment generated an 18% increase in gross profit compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to increases in both motor fuel and merchandise gross profit compared to the prior year.
The motor fuel gross profit for the retail segment increased $8.7 million or 28%, attributable to a 29% increase in the margin per gallon for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in margin per gallon was primarily driven by movements in crude oil prices within the two periods and overall market volatility. The margin per gallon increase was partially offset by a motor fuel volume decrease of 7% driven by a 4% decrease in the average retail site count due to CrossAmerica's ongoing portfolio optimization efforts, as well as a decline in volume for the base business. Same store retail segment fuel volume for the first quarter of 2026 declined 7% from the first quarter of 2025.
For the first quarter of 2026, CrossAmerica’s merchandise gross profit increased 8% when compared to the first quarter of 2025. The first quarter increase was primarily driven by an increase in sales in the base business as well as an increase in the merchandise gross profit percentage. Same store merchandise sales excluding cigarettes increased 2% for the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the first quarter of 2025. Merchandise gross profit percentage increased from 27.9% for the first quarter of 2025 to 29.7% for the first quarter of 2026.
Operating expenses for the retail segment declined $1.7 million dollars or 3% with same store operating expenses also declining for the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025. In addition, the average retail segment site count decreased 4% relative to the prior year due to CrossAmerica's ongoing portfolio optimization efforts.
Wholesale Segment
Key Operating Metrics | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 | ||
Wholesale segment gross profit | $23.3M | $26.7M | ||
Wholesale motor fuel gallons distributed | 153.6M | 162.9M | ||
Average wholesale gross profit per gallon | $ | 0.094 | $ | 0.097 |
During the first quarter of 2026, CrossAmerica’s wholesale segment gross profit decreased $3.3 million or 13% compared to the first quarter of 2025. The decline was primarily driven by a 20% or $1.9 million decrease in rent gross profit, primarily due to the sale of locations and conversions to retail operations as part of the Partnership’s portfolio optimization efforts. Motor fuel gross profit decreased 8% for the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the first quarter of 2025. The decline was driven by a 3% decrease in fuel margin per gallon and a 6% decline in wholesale volume distributed, primarily due to the loss of independent dealer contracts as well as the conversion of locations to the retail segment. Operating expenses declined $0.7 million or 10% due to the factors noted above.
Real Estate Activity
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, CrossAmerica sold 16 sites for $12.7 million in proceeds, resulting in a net gain of $6.3 million. CrossAmerica maintained a supply relationship post sale with substantially all of the locations divested during the quarter.
In May 2012, CrossAmerica’s predecessor entered into a 15-year master lease agreement with Getty. On January 31, 2026, CrossAmerica entered into an amendment of this lease that reset the rents for all 106 sites covered by this lease to an aggregate $6.9 million in annual rent, subject to annual escalations of 1.5%. This amendment also triggered a reassessment of lease accounting. Effective January 31, 2026, CrossAmerica is accounting for the modified lease fully as a finance lease, and as such, the finance lease obligations increased $56 million during the first quarter of 2026. The prior lease accounting resulted in approximately $3 million of the rent payments being accounted for as rent expense that will now be accounted for as principal and interest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, CrossAmerica had $682.0 million outstanding under its Credit Facility. As of May 1, 2026, after taking into consideration debt covenant restrictions, approximately $230 million was available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility. Leverage, as defined in the Credit Facility, was 3.35 times as of March 31, 2026, compared to 4.27 times as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, CrossAmerica was in compliance with its financial covenants under the credit facility.
Distributions
On April 22, 2026, 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 first quarter of 2026. As previously announced, the distribution will be paid on May 14, 2026, to all unitholders of record as of May 4, 2026. The amount and timing of any future distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board as provided in CrossAmerica’s Partnership Agreement.
Conference Call

The conference call numbers are 800-717-1738 or 646-307-1865 and the passcode for both is 292954.

(c) Same store fuel volume and same store merchandise sales include aggregated individual store results for all stores that had fuel volume or merchandise sales in all months for both periods. Same store merchandise sales excludes other revenues such as lottery commissions and car wash sales.

(a) In addition, CrossAmerica distributed motor fuel to sub-wholesalers who distributed to additional sites.
(b) The increase in the independent dealer site count was primarily attributable to the sale of certain lessee dealer, company operated and commission agent sites but with continued fuel supply, partially offset by the net loss of independent dealer contracts.
(c) The decrease in the lessee dealer count was primarily attributable to the sale of certain lessee dealer sites in connection with CrossAmerica's real estate rationalization effort (generally with continued fuel supply, thereby converting the site to an independent dealer site) as well as the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated and commission agent sites.
Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
CrossAmerica uses the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before deducting interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and accretion (which includes certain impairment charges). Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation expense, gains or losses on dispositions and lease terminations, net and certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees, separation benefit costs 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. The Distribution Coverage Ratio is computed by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by distributions paid on common units.
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 CrossAmerica’s 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 Partnership’s 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 CrossAmerica’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 CrossAmerica’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, CrossAmerica’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 (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except for Distribution Coverage Ratio):

(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 or to maintain the sites in conditions suitable to operate or lease, such as parking lot or roof replacement/renovation, or to replace equipment required to operate the existing business.
