EBITDA financial
"Net income was $273.7 million, and EBITDA1 was $485.1 million"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
same-store sales financial
"Inside same-store sales increased 3.2% compared to prior year"
Same-store sales measure the revenue generated by stores that have been open for a certain period, typically a year, comparing their sales over different time frames. It helps assess whether a business is growing due to increased customer activity at existing locations rather than new stores. For investors, this figure indicates the health and performance of a company's core operations, independent of expansion efforts.
fuel margin financial
"with a fuel margin of 47.8 cents per gallon"
Fuel margin is the difference between what a business charges customers for fuel and the actual cost it paid to buy that fuel, similar to the markup a store adds to a product. For investors, that margin shows how much profit (or loss) a company makes on fuel sales and reveals pricing power and cost management — a widening margin boosts earnings while a shrinking margin can signal pressure from rising commodity costs or competitive pricing.
two-year stack basis financial
"Inside same-store sales increased 3.2% and 7.7% on a two-year stack basis"
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"EBITDA is not considered to be a GAAP measure"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
share repurchase authorization financial
"The Company has approximately $973 million remaining under its existing share repurchase authorization"
A share repurchase authorization is a company's official approval to buy back its own shares from the market. This signals that the company believes its stock is a good investment and can help increase the value of remaining shares by reducing how many are available. For investors, it often suggests confidence from the company and can influence the stock’s price.

Net income $273.7 million Up from $215.4 million in the prior-year quarter
Diluted EPS $7.37 Up 27.7% from $5.77 a year earlier
EBITDA $485.1 million Up from $414.3 million in the prior-year quarter

RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not considered to be a GAAP measure, and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities or other income or cash flow statement data. This measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
We believe EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use this calculation as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities, and it is regularly used by the Company for internal purposes including our capital budgeting process, evaluating acquisition targets, assessing performance, and awarding incentive compensation.
Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, EBITDA, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. It therefore may not be possible to compare our use of this non-GAAP financial measure with those used by other companies.
The following table contains a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA for the three months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025:
