Allentown, PA February 28, 2022 – 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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.

“The Partnership generated strong fourth quarter results as it continued to execute on its strategic initiatives and integrate the sites acquired from 7-Eleven,” said Charles Nifong, CEO and President of CrossAmerica. “Our quarterly EBITDA and distribution coverage were the highest in the partnership’s history and demonstrate the cash generation potential of our portfolio. 2021 was an extremely active year for CrossAmerica, highlighted by our $263 million acquisition of sites from 7-Eleven. This acquisition, along with the continued execution of our long-term strategic plan, has provided the partnership a strong platform for success in 2022 and beyond.”

CrossAmerica reported Operating Income of $16.2 million and Net Income of $12.0 million or earnings of $0.32 per diluted common unit for the fourth quarter 2021. For the same period in 2020, the Partnership reported Operating Income of $8.1 million and Net Income of $9.0 million or $0.24 per diluted common unit. The increase in both Operating and Net Income was primarily driven by the year-over-year increases in Operating Income in both the wholesale and retail segments with each segment benefiting from the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven.

Adjusted EBITDA was $37.0 million for the fourth quarter 2021 compared to $24.4 million for the same period in 2020, representing an increase of 51%. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the increase in Operating Income in both the wholesale and retail segments, as mentioned above.

For the full year 2021, Operating Income was $36.1 million compared to Operating Income of $115.6 million for the full year 2020. Net Income was $21.7 million or $0.57 per diluted common unit for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, compared to $107.5 million ($2.87 per diluted common unit) for the same period in 2020. During 2020, CrossAmerica recorded a $80.9 million gain on sale that was primarily driven by the sale of CrossAmerica’s 17.5% investment in CST Fuel Supply as part of its exchange transaction with Circle K. This was a significant driver for the decline in both Operating and Net Income for the full year 2021. This was partially offset by increases in Operating Income for both the wholesale and retail segments.

Adjusted EBITDA was $123.3 million for the full year 2021 compared to $107.4 million for the same period in 2020, representing an increase of 15%. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the Operating Income increases in both the wholesale and retail segments (see Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this release).

Non-GAAP measures used in this release include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. These Non-GAAP measures are further described and reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this release.

During the fourth quarter 2021, CrossAmerica’s wholesale segment generated $49.4 million in gross profit compared to $36.8 million in gross profit for the fourth quarter 2020, representing an increase of 34%. The Partnership distributed, on a wholesale basis, 356.9 million gallons of motor fuel at an average wholesale gross profit of $0.102 per gallon, resulting in motor fuel gross profit of $36.3 million. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2020, CrossAmerica distributed, on a wholesale basis, 308.5 million gallons of fuel at an average wholesale gross profit of $0.078 per gallon, resulting in motor fuel gross profit of $24.0 million. The 51% increase in motor fuel gross profit was driven by a 16% increase in fuel volume distributed and a 31% increase in fuel margin per gallon. The main drivers of the volume increase were the continued recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven. The increase in fuel margin per gallon for the quarter was primarily driven by higher variable fuel margins due to market conditions and an increase in variably priced gallons distributed.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, CrossAmerica’s Wholesale segment generated $176.6 million in gross profit compared to $155.5 million in gross profit for the full year 2020, representing an increase of 14%. The Partnership distributed, on a wholesale basis, 1.33 billion gallons of motor fuel at an average wholesale gross profit of $0.092 per gallon, resulting in motor fuel gross profit of $122.2 million for the full year 2021. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2020, CrossAmerica distributed, on a wholesale basis, 1.12 billion gallons of fuel at an average wholesale gross profit of $0.092 per gallon, resulting in motor fuel gross profit of $102.8 million. The 19% increase in motor fuel gross profit was primarily driven by a 20% increase in volume as a result of the asset exchanges with Circle K, the CST Fuel Supply Exchange, the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets, the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven and the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Operating Income for the wholesale segment was $40.2 million for the fourth quarter 2021 compared to $28.5 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of 41%. As discussed above, the year-over-year increase was primarily driven by an increase in motor fuel gross profit, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. For the full year 2021, Operating Income for the wholesale segment was $137.8 million compared to $123.5 million for the same period in 2020 or an increase of 12%. As discussed above, the year-over-year increase was primarily driven by the increase in motor fuel gross profit.

For the fourth quarter 2021, the retail segment reported motor fuel gross profit of $9.7 million. For the same period in 2020, CrossAmerica generated motor fuel gross profit of $5.5 million. The $4.2 million or 76% increase in motor fuel gross profit was attributable to increased volume and higher fuel margins for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. For the full year 2021, the Partnership’s motor fuel gross profit increased $15.1 million or 119%, attributable to realizing a higher average margin per gallon as the higher retail fuel margins at the Partnership’s company operated sites comprised a larger percentage of CrossAmerica’s overall retail fuel margins in 2021 as compared to 2020.

The retail segment sold 125.3 million of retail fuel gallons during the fourth quarter 2021, a 53% increase over the fourth quarter 2020. This increased volume resulted from the increase in company operated sites as a result of the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven as well as the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic. Same store fuel volume for the fourth quarter 2021 increased to 43.8 million gallons from 39.0 million during the fourth quarter 2020, an increase of 12%.

For the fourth quarter 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020, CrossAmerica’s merchandise gross profit and other revenues increased $6.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, as a result of the increase in company operated sites driven by the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven. Same store merchandise sales decreased 1% for the fourth quarter 2021 when compared to the fourth quarter 2020.

For the full year 2021 when compared to the full year 2020, CrossAmerica’s merchandise gross profit and other revenues increased $23.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively, as a result of the increase in company operated sites driven by the April 2020 acquisition of retail and wholesale assets and the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven. Merchandise gross profit percentage increased from 26.0% for the full year 2020 to 26.4% in 2021.

Operating Income for the retail segment was $2.2 million for the fourth quarter 2021 compared to $0.3 million for the fourth quarter 2020, primarily as a result of changes in operations noted above. The increase of $4.1 million or 311% in Operating Income for the full year 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to the increase in overall gross profit offset by an increase in operating expenses associated with the acquisitions noted above.

Distributable Cash Flow was $31.0 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2021, compared to $26.2 million for the same period in 2020. The 18% increase in Distributable Cash Flow was primarily due to the increase in Operating Income in both the wholesale and retail segments partially offset by an increase in cash interest expense and current income taxes. The Distribution Coverage Ratio for the current quarter was 1.56 times compared to 1.32 times for the fourth quarter 2020.

For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, Distributable Cash Flow was $102.2 million compared to $102.5 million for the same period in 2020, relatively unchanged year-over-year. The full year 2020 Distributable Cash Flow benefited from a current tax benefit related primarily to bonus depreciation on eligible assets acquired in the asset exchanges and capital expenditures. The Distribution Coverage Ratio was 1.28 times for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to 1.31 times for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 (see Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this release).

For the fourth quarter 2021, CrossAmerica sold nine non-core properties for $5.2 million in proceeds. For the full year 2021, the Partnership sold 32 non-core properties and received $14.0 million in proceeds.

On April 28, 2021, CrossAmerica entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with 7-Eleven, pursuant to which the Partnership agreed to purchase certain assets related to the ownership and operations of 106 company operated sites (90 fee; 16 leased) located in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the U.S. for an aggregate purchase price of $263.0 million, excluding working capital and subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The assets were sold by 7-Eleven as part of a divestiture process in connection with its previously announced acquisition of the Speedway business from Marathon Petroleum Corporation.

CrossAmerica closed on the acquisition of the properties on a rolling basis of generally ten sites per week. Through December 31, 2021, CrossAmerica consummated the closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement of 103 Properties for a purchase price of $273.0 million, including inventory and other working capital. In February 2022, the Partnership closed on the final three properties for a purchase price of $3.6 million, a portion of which will be paid on or prior to February 8, 2027.

As of December 31, 2021, CrossAmerica had $630.6 million outstanding under its CAPL Credit Facility and $182.5 million outstanding under its JKM Credit Facility. As February 24, 2022, after taking into consideration debt covenant restrictions, approximately $104.3 million was available for future borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility. The
amount of availability under the JKM Credit Facility at February 24, 2022, after taking into consideration debt covenant
restrictions, was $14.2 million. Leverage, as defined in the CAPL Credit Facility, was 5.1 times as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, CrossAmerica was in compliance with the financial covenants under its credit facilities.

On January 20, 2022, 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 fourth quarter 2021. As previously announced, the distribution was paid on February 10, 2022 to all unitholders of record as of February 3, 2022. The amount and timing of any future distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board as provided in CrossAmerica’s Partnership Agreement.

The Partnership will host a conference call on March 1, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss fourth quarter and full year 2021 earnings results. The conference call numbers are 800-774-6070 or 630-691-2753 and the passcode for both is 8674133#.

CrossAmerica uses the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. EBITDA represents net income available to the Partnership before deducting interest expense, income taxes, 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, certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees and separation benefit costs associated with recent acquisitions, 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 benefit or expense. The Distribution Coverage Ratio is computed by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by the weighted average diluted common units and then dividing that result by the distributions paid per limited partner unit.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of the CrossAmerica financial statements, such as investors and lenders. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used to assess the 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 CrossAmerica 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 the Partnership’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 the Partnership’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, the Partnership’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, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except for per unit amounts):
