Allentown, PA, August 7, 2015 - CrossAmerica Partners LP (NYSE: CAPL),
headquartered in Allentown, PA, a leading wholesale distributor of motor fuels
and owner and lessee of real estate used in the retail distribution of motor
fuels, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30,
2015.
"During the second quarter, we saw solid growth in our wholesale fuel supply
sales and rental income, thanks to our acquisitions and strategic alliance with
CST Brands. Our wholesale operating income saw an 11 percent increase with
total wholesale volumes increasing 24 percent," said Joe Topper, CEO of
CrossAmerica Partnership. "The NTI and fuel drop transactions with CST Brands
and the One Stop acquisition completed on July 1 provides us with additional
cash flow to further increase our unit distribution over time."
Wholesale Segment
During the second quarter 2015, we distributed, on a wholesale basis, 277.1
million gallons of motor fuel at an average wholesale gross margin of $0.053 per
gallon, resulting in a wholesale motor fuel gross profit of $14.6 million. For
the three month period ending June 30, 2014, we distributed, on a wholesale
basis, 222.9 million gallons of fuel at an average wholesale gross margin of
$0.067 per gallon, resulting in a wholesale motor fuel gross profit of $15.0
million. The decrease of 3% in gross profit from wholesale fuel sales for the
second quarter of 2015 relative to 2014 was attributable to a decline in the
average wholesale fuel margin partially offset by a 24% increase in volume
driven by the acquisitions that have been completed since April 2014. Wholesale
fuel margin per gallon for the quarter was approximately 22% lower relative to
the second quarter 2014, primarily due to the decline in the margin we receive
from purchase discounts provided to us by our suppliers. The Partnership
receives certain discounts from suppliers based on a percentage of the purchase
price of fuel and the dollar value of these discounts varies with the price of
wholesale motor fuel.
Our gross profit from our Other revenues for the wholesale segment, which
primarily consist of rental income, was $6.9 million for the second quarter of
2015 compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2014. The increase in
rental income was primarily associated with our previously announced
acquisitions of Nice N Easy and Landmark stores, which we lease to CST.
Retail Segment
For the second quarter 2015, we sold 57.3 million gallons at an average retail
motor fuel gross margin of $0.095 per gallon, net of commissions and credit card
fees, resulting in a retail gross profit of $5.4 million. For the same period
in 2014, we sold 32.3 million gallons at an average retail motor fuel gross
margin of $0.052 per gallon, net of commissions and credit card fees, resulting
in a retail gross profit of $1.7 million. The increase in retail gross profit
from retail motor fuel sales for the second quarter of 2015 relative to 2014 was
due primarily to the PMI and Erickson acquisitions. During the quarter, we also
generated $9.9 million in gross margin from the sale of food and merchandise
from our PMI and Erickson acquisitions. For the same period in 2014, we
generated $3.2 million in gross margin from the sale of food and merchandise.
Non-GAAP Metrics
Distributable Cash Flow (See Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP
Financial Information below) was $14.3 million for the three month period ended
June 30, 2015 compared to $13.5 million for the same period in 2014. The
increase in Distributable Cash Flow was due primarily to an increase in earnings
driven primarily by the 2014 and 2015 acquisitions, including the fuel drop
executed in January 2015, when compared to the same period in 2014.
Distributable Cash Flow per diluted limited partner unit was $0.57 for the three
months ended June 30, 2015 and we made limited partner distribution per unit of
$0.5475 during the quarter, resulting in a Distribution Coverage Ratio of 1.04
times.
Sale ("Dropdown") of CST Wholesale Fuel Supply Equity Interests and NTI
Convenience Stores
On July 1, 2015, we closed on the purchase of an additional 12.5% limited
partner equity interest in CST Fuel Supply in exchange for approximately 3.3
million common units and cash in the amount of $17.5 million, an aggregate
consideration of $110.9 million. We also completed the purchase of the real
property at 29 new-to-industry stores (NTIs) from CST in exchange for 0.3
million common units and cash in the amount of $124.4 million, an aggregate
consideration of $134 million. These transactions were approved by the
conflicts committee of the General Partner and the executive committee and full
Board of Directors of CST.
As of August 5, 2015, CrossAmerica's total equity interest in CST Fuel Supply is
17.5%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of
CrossAmerica and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2015, after taking into
account letters of credit and debt covenant constraints to availability,
approximately $139.5 million was available for future borrowings. Subsequent to
the July 2015 acquisitions, the availability for future borrowings was
approximately $98.9 million. In connection with future acquisitions, the
revolving credit facility requires, among other things, that we have, after
giving effect to such acquisition, at least $20 million of borrowing
availability under the revolving credit facility and unrestricted cash on the
balance sheet on the date of such acquisition.
Distributions
The Board of the Directors of our General Partner declared a quarterly
distribution of $0.5475 per unit on June 5, 2015 with respect to the first
quarter of 2015. The distribution was paid on June 19, 2015 to all unitholders
of record as of June 15, 2015. We anticipate that the Board of Directors will
consider the declaration of future distributions with respect to the second
quarter of 2015 at its next scheduled Board meeting in September to align the
distribution declaration and payment with CST's dividend declaration and payment
schedule. The amount and timing of any distribution is subject to the
discretion of the Board of Directors of our General Partner.
Conference Call
The Company will host a conference call on August 7, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern
Time (8:00 a.m. Central Time) to discuss second quarter earnings results. The
conference call numbers are 800-774-6070 or 630-691-2753 and the passcode for

earnings materials, including reconciliations of any non-GAAP financial measures
to GAAP financial measures and any other applicable disclosures, will be
available on that same day on the investor section of the CrossAmerica website
(www.crossamericapartners.com). A slide presentation for the conference call
will also be available on the investor section of the Company's website. To

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and
Distributable Cash Flow in this report. EBITDA represents net income before
deducting interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and
accretion. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude
equity funded expenses related to incentive compensation and the Amended Omnibus
Agreement, gains or losses on sales of assets, certain discrete acquisition
related costs, such as legal and other professional fees and severance expenses
associated with recently acquired companies, and certain other discrete non-cash
items, such as inventory fair value adjustments arising from purchase
accounting. Distributable Cash Flow represents Adjusted EBITDA less cash
interest expense, sustaining capital expenditures and current income tax
expense.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow 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 our financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital
structure or income taxes and our ability to incur and service debt and to fund
capital expenditures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess the
operating performance of our business on a consistent basis by excluding the
impact of items which do not result directly from our wholesale distribution of
motor fuel, the leasing of real property, or the day to day operations of our
retail convenience store activities. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable
Cash Flow are also used to assess our ability to generate cash sufficient to
make distributions to our unit-holders.
We believe the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash
Flow provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial
condition and results of operations. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable
Cash Flow 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, and Distributable Cash Flow have important
limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that
affect net income. Additionally, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and
Distributable Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in our
industry, our 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, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP
financial measure, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except for
per unit amounts):
