Other Key Highlights

On February 13, 2026, the Company completed its initial public offering of 11,111,111 shares of its Class A common stock at a price to the public of $18.00 per share (the "IPO") and, upon the exercise by the underwriters of their overallotment option on March 5, 2026, issued and sold an additional 1,459,112 shares of its Class A common stock on March 9, 2026, representing an aggregate of 26.4% of the economic interests in the Company.
The Company applied approximately $206.7 million of net proceeds from the IPO to reduce debt and strengthen an already conservative balance sheet.
As part of the ongoing transformation plan of the Company's controlling stockholder, ARKO Corp. (NASDAQ:ARKO) ("ARKO"), 62 ARKO's retail convenience stores that sell fuel ("ARKO Retail Sites") were converted to dealer locations in the Company's wholesale segment during the fourth quarter of 2025, and a total of 256 store conversions for the year ended December 31, 2025, bringing total conversions since program inception in the middle of 2024 to 409 sites. Since December 31, 2025, ARKO has approximately 120 additional sites committed either under letter of intent, under contract or already converted. The Company expects these conversions to be completed, along with additional conversions, by the end of 2026.
In addition, the Company is targeting 20 new-to-industry fleet fueling locations with target openings during 2026, with one opened in March 2026, and 13 of which the Company is currently advancing, reflecting the attractive, durable cash flow profile of its fleet fueling business.
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.26 per share of common stock to be paid on April 21, 2026 to stockholders of record as of April 10, 2026. This represents a pro-rated dividend from February 13, 2025, the date of the initial closing of the IPO, through the end of the first quarter of 2026, and is consistent with an expected annual dividend rate of $2.00 per share. For illustrative purposes, this anticipated annual dividend represents a 11% to 10% dividend yield at a share price of $18.50 to $19.50 per share.

¹ See Use of Non-GAAP Measures below.

² All figures for fuel costs, fuel contribution and fuel margin per gallon exclude the estimated fixed margin or fixed fee paid to the GPMP segment for the cost of fuel.

"We are excited to deliver our first earnings update as a public company, with 2025 ending on a positive trajectory," said Arie Kotler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of APC. "With the successful completion of our IPO in February, we are well-positioned to execute on our growth plans through ongoing new-to-industry builds in our Fleet Fueling segment and accretive M&A in our Wholesale segment. The IPO brought in institutional investors, and strengthened our balance sheet, allowing us to capture share in a highly fragmented market with significant opportunities, enabling us to drive long-term growth and value. We remain focused on growing Adjusted EBITDA and our dividend over time and to deliver value to our stockholders."

For the fourth quarter of 2025, wholesale operating income increased by $3.4 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Additional operating income from ARKO Retail Sites that had been converted to dealer locations in the past year more than offset reduced operating income at comparable wholesale sites, which reflected the challenging macroeconomic environment.

Fuel contribution for the fourth quarter of 2025 at fuel supply locations increased $1.7 million, and fuel margin per gallon increased 0.5 cents per gallon compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, due principally to incremental contribution from ARKO Retail Sites that had been converted to dealer locations in the past year, which was partially offset by lower volumes at comparable fuel supply wholesale sites and decreased prompt pay discounts related to lower fuel costs. Fuel contribution at consignment agent locations increased slightly, and fuel margin per gallon increased 1.3 cents per gallon.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, other revenues, net increased by $7.1 million, and site operating expenses increased by $5.4 million, in each case as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, resulting primarily from ARKO Retail Sites that had been converted to dealer locations in the past year.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, wholesale operating income increased by $9.3 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Additional operating income from ARKO Retail Sites that had been converted to dealer locations more than offset reduced operating income at comparable wholesale sites, which reflected the challenging macroeconomic environment.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, fuel contribution increased $4.2 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. At fuel supply locations, fuel contribution for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $4.6 million, and fuel margin per gallon increased 0.3 cents per gallon compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, due principally to incremental contribution from ARKO Retail Sites that had been converted to dealer locations, which was partially offset by decreased prompt pay discounts related to lower fuel costs and lower volumes at comparable fuel supply wholesale sites primarily due to the macroeconomic environment and severe weather conditions in January and February 2025 in certain of the markets in which the Company operates. Fuel contribution at consignment agent locations decreased by $0.4 million, while fuel margin per gallon increased 0.1 cents per gallon.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, other revenues, net increased by $23.4 million, and site operating expenses increased by $18.3 million, in each case as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting primarily from ARKO Retail Sites that had been converted to dealer locations.

Fuel contribution – related party decreased by $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to fewer gallons sold at a fixed margin.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, fuel revenue – related party decreased by $661.8 million, or 22.3%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, caused by a decrease in the average price of fuel in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 and a 158.7 million, or 15.5%, decrease in gallons sold, reflecting the challenging macroeconomic environment and ARKO Retail Sites converted to dealer locations, which was slightly offset by incremental gallons sold relating to ARKO's acquisition of ARKO Retail Sites during 2024.

Fuel contribution – related party decreased by $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to fewer gallons sold at a fixed margin.

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 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 Company 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.
