The earnings call reveals declining financial metrics, including net income, EBITDA, and distributable cash flow, without clear reasons for the decline. Despite an optimistic shareholder return plan, with a 16th consecutive distribution increase, the weak financial performance and lack of guidance adjustments suggest a negative sentiment. The Q&A section provided some clarity but did not address the financial concerns adequately. Given the market cap, the stock is likely to react negatively, falling between -2% to -8%.
Net Income $29 million, down from $45.9 million last year. The decline was partly due to a $7.8 million one-time gain on asset sales in the prior year.
EBITDA $97.1 million, down from $119.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $98.8 million, down from $114 million. No specific reasons for the decline were mentioned.
Distributable Cash Flow $53 million, down from $71.1 million. Adjusted distributable cash flow was $53.3 million, down from $71.6 million. No specific reasons for the decline were mentioned.
GDSO Product Margin Decreased by $18.8 million to $218.9 million. Product margin from gasoline distribution decreased by $19.3 million to $144.8 million, primarily due to lower fuel margins compared to the same period in 2024.
Fuel Margins $0.37 per gallon, down 7% year-over-year. The decline was attributed to less favorable wholesale gasoline price movements compared to the prior year.
Station Operations Product Margin Increased by $0.5 million to $74.1 million, partly due to an increase in sundries.
Wholesale Segment Product Margin Increased by $6.9 million to $78 million. Product margin from gasoline and gasoline blend stocks increased by $18.5 million to $61.5 million, driven by favorable market conditions and terminal network expansion. Product margin from distillates and other oils decreased by $11.6 million to $16.5 million, due to less favorable market conditions in residual oil.
Commercial Segment Product Margin Decreased by $2.5 million to $7 million, partly due to less favorable market conditions in bunkering.
Operating Expenses Decreased by $4.6 million to $132.5 million, primarily due to lower maintenance and repair expenses at terminal operations.
SG&A Expense Increased by $5.8 million to $76.3 million, reflecting increases in wages, benefits, and other SG&A expenses.
Interest Expense $33.3 million, down $1.8 million from last year, partly due to lower average balances on credit facilities.

Less Favorable Market Conditions in Residual Oil: Product margin from distillates and other oils decreased by $11.6 million to $16.5 million, driven by less favorable market conditions.
Increased SG&A Expenses: SG&A expenses rose by $5.8 million to $76.3 million, reflecting higher wages, benefits, and other administrative costs.
CapEx Dependency on External Factors: Capital expenditure plans are subject to risks such as project timing, equipment availability, workforce constraints, weather, and unforeseen events, which could delay or increase costs.
Leverage and Debt Levels: Leverage, as defined by funded debt to EBITDA, stood at 3.6x, with significant outstanding balances on credit facilities, which could pose financial risks if market conditions worsen.

The earnings call presents a mixed outlook. Despite a consistent cash distribution increase and successful terminal acquisitions, financial performance metrics like net income, EBITDA, and DCF have declined year-over-year due to unfavorable market conditions and debt extinguishment costs.
