Current report
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were $208.0 million, an increase of $21.2 million, or 11%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to an allowance for current expected credit losses recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2026 with respect to notes receivable from an equity method investee reported as corporate and other, resulting from our decision to discontinue ongoing financial support, as well as increased operating expenses associated with the Universal TSS acquisition. These increases were partially offset by the cost reduction impact of the business exits in the land segment initiated in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the impact of gains recognized on the sale of assets associated with business exits during the three months ended September 30, 2026.
Current report
Revenues in our aviation segment were $7.6 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $2.8 billion, or 57%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by a 58% increase in average jet fuel price per gallon. Total aviation volumes increased by 21.2 million gallons, or 1%, to 1.9 billion gallons.

In our land segment, we continue to focus on improving capital efficiency by optimizing asset utilization, leveraging the capabilities of our acquisitions, and realigning our operational platform. In 2025, we launched an initiative designed to further streamline our operating model and enhance organizational efficiency and effectiveness. On April 9, 2025, we closed the Watson Fuels sale, and in the fourth quarter of 2025 and into 2026, we committed to and initiated actions to exit certain operations within the land segment, including direct fuel transportation services, lubricants, heating oil, power, and certain advisory and sustainability offerings, that are no longer profitable or not aligned with the Company's core business and corporate strategy. In June 2026, we closed on the sale of a majority of the Land Fuel Transportation and Lubricants disposal group. See Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures and Note 14. Restructuring and Exit Activities for additional information about the actions taken and related impairment charges.

We believe that our marine business is well-positioned to generate relatively moderate levels of earnings in stable markets and provide additional value in volatile and credit constrained markets. Due to the generally spot nature of sales in our marine business, we have traditionally benefited from elevated fuel prices and volatility as well as a constrained credit environment, as seen during the first half of 2026, with the increase in global oil prices and related volatility resulting in a significant improvement in marine segment profitability.

Our aviation segment gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $346.2 million, an increase of $92.6 million, or 37%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to stronger physical inventory-related profitability in our core commercial business, driven by elevated jet fuel price volatility during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the contribution from Universal TSS acquired in the fourth quarter of 2025, as well as higher contribution from increased government activity in the core resale business.
Current wording

The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to increased costs associated with the Universal TSS acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2025 and higher incentive compensation costs, as well as a higher allowance for credit losses as a result of increased accounts receivable exposure driven by elevated jet fuel prices during the first half of 2026.
