CrossAmerica Partners LP (NYSE: CAPL) lifts Q2 cash flow and extends credit facility
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
CrossAmerica Partners LP reported second quarter 2026 results with net income of $20.8 million versus $25.2 million a year earlier, while Adjusted EBITDA rose to $51.8 million from $37.1 million and Distributable Cash Flow increased to $33.6 million from $22.4 million. Distribution coverage improved to 1.68x for the quarter and 1.39x for the trailing twelve months.
The retail segment generated gross profit of $85.7 million, up from $76.1 million, driven by higher fuel margin per gallon and stronger merchandise margins despite lower volumes and a smaller site count. The wholesale segment produced gross profit of $27.1 million, up from $24.9 million, as fuel margin per gallon increased even as volumes declined.
Leverage under the credit facility improved to 3.57x as of June 30, 2026, with $671.6 million outstanding, and a July 2026 amendment extended the facility’s maturity to July 15, 2031. The board declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.5250 per common unit attributable to the quarter, payable August 13, 2026, and appointed Jonathan Benfield as Chief Financial Officer effective July 20, 2026.
Positive
- Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow rose sharply, with Q2 2026 Adjusted EBITDA at $51.8 million (up from $37.1 million) and Distributable Cash Flow at $33.6 million (up from $22.4 million), lifting quarterly distribution coverage to 1.68x and trailing twelve‑month coverage to 1.39x.
- Unit distributions remain well covered and stable, as the board declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.5250 per common unit for Q2 2026 while maintaining strong coverage on both current‑quarter and trailing twelve‑month bases.
- Balance sheet and liquidity improved, with leverage under the credit facility at 3.57x versus 3.65x a year earlier, $671.6 million outstanding, about $244 million available for borrowing, and the facility maturity extended to July 15, 2031.
- Operating performance strengthened in both segments, as retail gross profit increased to $85.7 million and wholesale gross profit to $27.1 million, supported by higher fuel margins per gallon and better merchandise margins alongside lower operating expenses.
Negative
- GAAP net income declined year over year, falling to $20.8 million in Q2 2026 from $25.2 million in Q2 2025, primarily because net gains from real estate optimization dropped from $29.7 million to $1.1 million.
- Fuel volumes decreased in both segments, with retail motor fuel gallons sold down 12% and wholesale gallons distributed down 11% versus Q2 2025, reflecting lower same‑store volumes, site sales and loss of some independent dealer contracts.

The filing defines Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, sustaining capital expenditures and current income tax expense, and defines the Distribution Coverage Ratio as Distributable Cash Flow divided by distributions paid on common units.
Accordingly, the reported improvement in coverage is a disclosed non-GAAP cash-coverage measure rather than a net-income measure; the filing also says these measures are not alternatives to U.S. GAAP results.

CrossAmerica Partners LP Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results
Allentown, PA August 5, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
"The Partnership continued its strong start to the year, building on our very strong first quarter with another quarter of significant growth in Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow,” said Maura Topper, CEO and President of CrossAmerica. “I'm proud of how our team continued to execute with discipline through a volatile operating environment. One key area of success was our merchandise business with continued growth in merchandise margin percentage reflecting the strength of our convenience store operations and programs. Combined with our continued focus on cost management, these results allowed us to again pay down our credit facility during the quarter, further strengthening our balance sheet and providing increased flexibility and investment opportunities for the remainder of this year and beyond.”

CrossAmerica reported increases in Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by an increase in motor fuel margin per gallon in both the retail and wholesale segments, an increase in merchandise gross profit in the retail segment and an overall decline in operating expenses. The decline in Net Income was primarily driven by lower net gains in connection with CrossAmerica's ongoing real estate optimization efforts with $29.7 million in net gains for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $1.1 million in net gains for the second quarter of 2026.
The increase for the second quarter of 2026 in Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage was primarily driven by the increase in Adjusted EBITDA noted above in addition to a decrease in interest expense due to a lower average interest rate along with a lower average outstanding debt balance, partially offset by increases in sustaining capital expenditures and current income tax expense.

For the second quarter of 2026, the retail segment generated a 13% increase in gross profit compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to increases in motor fuel, merchandise and other revenue gross profit compared to the prior year.
The motor fuel gross profit for the retail segment increased $7.7 million or 20%, attributable to a 33% increase in the margin per gallon for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in margin per gallon was primarily driven by differences in 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 12% driven by a decline in same store retail segment volume of 11% as well as a decrease in the average retail site count due to CrossAmerica's ongoing portfolio optimization efforts.

For the second quarter of 2026, CrossAmerica’s merchandise gross profit increased 2% when compared to the second quarter of 2025, despite a 9% decline in average company operated store count. Same store merchandise sales excluding cigarettes increased 1% for the second quarter of 2026 when compared to the second quarter of 2025. Merchandise gross profit percentage increased from 28.2% for the second quarter of 2025 to 29.5% for the second quarter of 2026. Other revenues increased $0.8 million or 18% driven by higher income from skills games and fuel sold on a commission basis.
Operating expenses for the retail segment declined $2.1 million dollars or 4% with same store operating expenses also declining for the second quarter of 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025. In addition, the average retail segment site count decreased 7% relative to the prior year due to CrossAmerica's ongoing portfolio optimization efforts.

During the second quarter of 2026, CrossAmerica’s wholesale segment gross profit increased $2.2 million or 9% compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a 17% or $2.6 million increase in motor fuel gross profit, partially offset by a 2% decline in rent gross profit. The decrease in rent gross profit was primarily due to the sale of locations and conversions to retail operations as part of the Partnership’s portfolio optimization efforts, partially offset by an increase in rent gross profit as a result of the reassessment of the accounting for CrossAmerica's lease with Getty required by the amendment of this lease during the first quarter of 2026.
The increase in motor fuel gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 when compared to the second quarter of 2025 was driven by a 31% increase in fuel margin per gallon, partially offset by an 11% decline in wholesale volume distributed. The decline in volume was primarily due to a reduction in volume in the base business as well as the loss of independent dealer contracts. Operating expenses declined $0.8 million or 11% due to the portfolio optimization efforts noted above.
Real Estate Activity
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, CrossAmerica sold five sites for $2.7 million in proceeds, resulting in a net gain of $1.1 million. CrossAmerica maintained a supply relationship post sale with substantially all of the locations divested during the quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2026, CrossAmerica had $671.6 million outstanding under its Credit Facility. As of July 31, 2026, after taking into consideration debt covenant restrictions, approximately $244 million was available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility. Leverage, as defined in the Credit Facility, was 3.57 times as of June 30, 2026, compared to 3.65 times as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, CrossAmerica was in compliance with its financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

Credit Facility
On July 15, 2026, the Partnership and its subsidiary, Lehigh Gas Wholesale Services, Inc. entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility.

(a) The decrease in the company operated site count was primarily attributable to the sale of certain company operated sites in connection with CrossAmerica's real estate optimization effort.

(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 and that were operated in the same class of trade for 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 optimization 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):

Appendix Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call
Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP Financial Measures We use 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 our 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 our 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 our 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 our unitholders. We believe 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 our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation 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): (a) Primarily includes net gains in connection with CrossAmerica's ongoing real estate optimization effort of $1.1 million and $29.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, and $7.4 million and $35.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. (b) Relates to certain acquisition-related costs, such as legal and other professional fees, separation benefit costs and purchase accounting adjustments associated with recent acquisitions. (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. (d) Excludes current income tax expense incurred on the sales of sites.
