Margins: Gross margin (revenue less COGS excluding depreciation) declined to 21.8% from 24.4% YoY, primarily due to historically higher fuel gross margin per gallon (47.8¢ vs 41.0¢) being offset by higher wholesale fuel costs and lower fuel margin as a percent of fuel revenue (12.0% vs 13.7%), reflecting the industry's elevated fuel pricing environment.
Watch Items from the Filing
Fuel revenue margin compressed to 12.0% of fuel sales from 13.7% YoY despite record 47.8¢ per-gallon margin; filing notes this is historically elevated and 'can fluctuate significantly, and sometimes unpredictably, in the short-term.'
RIN activity swung sharply: $25.7M revenue from 10.9M RINs (vs $6.7M from 6.1M RINs YoY); filing states impact on fuel margin 'was minimal given higher activity was offset by higher costs.'
EV charging stations grew to 294 at 68 stores across 14 states; company notes Midwest consumer EV demand remains 'comparatively lower than levels along the coasts,' limiting near-term fuel displacement threat.
FLSA wage-and-hour litigation settlements approved during quarter; company maintains Store Managers are properly classified as exempt and admits no wrongdoing; settlement amount immaterial.
Store count grew modestly: +15 net stores to 2,959 in Q1 (9 new construction, 12 acquisitions, 6 closures/divestitures); acquisition pace accelerating with $43.9M invested in acquisitions vs $9.5M YoY.
