Starting in the middle of 2024, as part of our Transformation Plan, we commenced leveraging our unique, multi-segment operating model to expand our wholesale fuel distribution network by converting a meaningful number of retail stores within our retail segment to dealer locations within our wholesale segment. Conversions of certain retail stores benefit both our retail and wholesale segments, as these sites have yielded, and we expect will continue to yield, greater profitability once converted. In such cases, we realize higher profit from ongoing fuel supply agreements and rental income than from continued operation of these stores in our retail segment. These conversions also allow us to focus on and better prioritize future investments in our remaining retail stores. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we converted 21 retail stores to dealer locations for a total of 62 stores converted during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and a total of 471 stores converted since the beginning of this initiative. We expect to continue to convert a meaningful number of additional stores throughout 2026 and into 2027. These conversions have resulted in approximately $2.7 million, $8.4 million and $15.6 million in incremental operating income before general and administrative expenses for the three month, six month, and 12-month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively.

We expect to convert a meaningful number of additional stores, and we expect to be largely complete by the end of 2027.

Previous wording
During the first half of 2026, global crude oil and refined product markets were impacted by heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. These developments contributed to significant volatility in crude oil prices and periodic supply disruptions, including disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. During the second quarter of 2026, market conditions remained highly dynamic as developments related to the conflict, including sporadic reopenings of the Strait of Hormuz and the resumption of oil flows, contributed to fluctuations in crude oil prices and changing expectations regarding global supply availability. These market conditions contributed to variability in wholesale fuel costs, retail gasoline prices, and fuel demand patterns across many of our markets. While retail price increases generally lag behind changes in wholesale costs, the magnitude and timing of the fluctuations during the six months ended June 30, 2026 positively affected fuel margins during that period. However, continued geopolitical uncertainty and evolving global supply dynamics may continue to contribute to volatility in fuel prices and margins in future periods.
Current wording
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, global crude oil and refined product markets were impacted by heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. These developments contributed to significant volatility in crude oil prices and periodic supply disruptions, including disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. During the third quarter of 2026, market conditions remained highly dynamic as developments related to the conflict, including changes in the status of the Strait of Hormuz and global oil flows, continued to affect crude oil prices and expectations regarding global supply availability. These market conditions have contributed to continued variability in wholesale fuel costs, retail gasoline prices, and fuel demand patterns across many of our markets. During the third quarter of 2026, diesel prices reached record highs, increasing fuel costs for commercial customers and other diesel-dependent businesses. These elevated prices placed additional pressure on customers’ operating costs and may have influenced fuel purchasing behavior and consumption patterns. While retail fuel price increases generally lag behind changes in wholesale costs, the magnitude and timing of the fluctuations during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 have affected fuel margins during that period. Continued geopolitical uncertainty and evolving global supply dynamics may continue to contribute to volatility in fuel prices and margins in future periods, and sustained high diesel prices or diesel supply constraints could reduce gallons sold, compress fuel margins or increase our working capital needs in future period.
