While weather disruptions negatively affected January and early February results, trends improved as the quarter progressed, and March performance was particularly strong. We believe these results reflect the work we have been doing across dealerization, loyalty, fuel pricing, merchandising and cost discipline, while also demonstrating our ability to deliver value in a consumer environment that remains economically pressured and value-focused.”

Mr. Kotler continued: “With APC now public, investors have greater transparency into our wholesale, fleet fueling and GPMP businesses, and we believe the APC structure enhances financial flexibility and highlights the value embedded across our portfolio. As we move through 2026, we remain focused on disciplined capital allocation, continued dealerization, high-return growth opportunities such as cardlocks and retail NTIs, and building long-term value through consistent execution across all segments.”
