CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”), Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements. These factors include those described below and in “Item 1A-Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and described from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable law. We intend that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the PSLRA. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and reflect our views as of the date they are made with respect to future events and financial performance.

Risks and uncertainties, the occurrence of which could adversely affect our business, include the following:

•

changes in economic conditions, tax or trade policies, and consumer confidence in the United States;

•

our ability to successfully achieve the anticipated benefits of the planned conversion of certain retail stores within our retail segment to dealer sites within our wholesale segment;

•

our ability to successfully implement our growth strategies;

•

significant changes in the current consumption of, and related regulations and litigation related to, cigarettes and other tobacco products;

•

changes in the wholesale prices of motor fuel;

•

significant changes in demand for fuel-based modes of transportation and for trucking services;

•

the highly competitive fragmented industry in which we operate, characterized by many similar competing products and services;

•

our ability to make acquisitions and divestitures on economically acceptable terms;

•

our ability to successfully integrate acquired operations or otherwise realize the expected benefits from our acquisitions;

•

negative events or developments associated with branded motor fuel suppliers;

•

we depend on several principal suppliers for our fuel purchases, third-party transportation providers for the transportation of most of our motor fuel and one principal supplier for merchandise;

•

a significant portion of our revenue is generated under fuel supply agreements with dealers that must be renegotiated or replaced periodically;

•

the retail sale, distribution, transportation and storage of motor fuels is subject to environmental protection and operational safety laws and regulations that may expose us or our customers to significant costs and liabilities;

•

failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations;

•

the loss of key senior management personnel or the failure to recruit or retain qualified personnel;

•

unfavorable weather conditions;

•

our ability to effectively manage our workforce;

•

payment-related risks that may result in higher operating costs or the inability to process payments;

•

significant disruptions of information technology systems, breaches of data security or compromised data;

•

evolving laws, regulations, standards, and contractual obligations related to data privacy and security regulations, and our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations;

Table of Contents

•

our failure to adequately secure, maintain, and enforce our intellectual property rights and third-party claims of infringement upon their intellectual property rights;

•

our operations present risks which may not be fully covered by insurance;

•

our variable rate debt;

•

the agreements governing our indebtedness contain various restrictions and financial covenants;

•

our corporate structure includes Israeli entities that may expose us to additional tax liabilities;

•

the market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile and could decline significantly; and

•

sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause the prices of our common stock to decline.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. General

ARKO Corp. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation whose common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”), and publicly-traded warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “ARKO” and “ARKOW,” respectively.

The Company’s operations are primarily performed by its wholly owned subsidiary, GPM Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GPM”). Formed in 2002, GPM is engaged directly and through fully owned and controlled subsidiaries in retail activity, which includes the operations of a chain of convenience stores, most of which include adjacent gas stations. GPM is also engaged in wholesale activity, which includes the supply of fuel to gas stations operated by third-parties and, in fleet fueling, which includes the operation of proprietary and third-party cardlock locations (unstaffed fueling locations) and issuance of proprietary fuel cards that provide customers access to a nationwide network of fueling sites. As of March 31, 2025, GPM’s activity included the operation of 1,329 retail convenience stores, the supply of fuel to 1,961 gas stations operated by dealers and the operation of 280 cardlock locations, in the District of Columbia and throughout more than 30 states in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern, Northeastern, Southeastern and Southwestern United States (“U.S.”).

The Company has four reportable segments: retail, wholesale, fleet fueling, and GPMP. Refer to Note 10 below for further information with respect to the segments.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) as of March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and Regulation S-X set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments except those otherwise described herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying interim financial statements. However, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, the interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “annual financial statements”).

The same significant accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have been followed in these interim financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the annual financial statements.

Accounting Periods

The Company’s fiscal periods end on the last day of the month, and its fiscal year ends on December 31. This results in the Company experiencing fluctuations in current assets and current liabilities due to purchasing and payment patterns which change based upon the day of the week. As a result, working capital can change from period to period not only due to changing business operations, but also due to a change in the day of the week on which a period ends. The Company earns a disproportionate amount of its annual operating income in the second and third quarters as a result of the generally favorable climate and seasonal buying patterns of its customers.

Use of Estimates

In the preparation of interim financial statements, management may make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant

Table of Contents

estimates include right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; impairment of goodwill, intangible, right-of-use and fixed assets; environmental assets and liabilities; deferred tax assets; and asset retirement obligations.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers. This requires the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a single point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. Control is transferred to the customer over time if the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance. If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, the Company satisfies the performance obligation at a single point in time.

Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services.

When the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of goods or services to the customer, revenue is recognized against contract assets in the amount of consideration to which the Company is entitled. When the consideration amount received from the customer exceeds the amounts recognized as revenue, the Company recognizes a contract liability for the excess.

An asset is recognized related to the costs incurred to obtain a contract (e.g. sales commissions) if the costs are specifically identifiable to a contract, the costs will result in enhancing resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future and the costs are expected to be recovered. These capitalized costs were approximately $7.0 million and $6.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are recorded as a part of other current assets and other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of transfer of the goods or services to which such costs relate. Amortization expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.4 million, and was included in fuel costs on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company expenses the costs to obtain a contract, as and when they are incurred, in cases where the expected amortization period is one year or less.

The Company recognizes a contract asset when making upfront incentive payments to dealers. Certain of the upfront consideration represents a prepaid incentive, as these payments are not made for distinct services provided by the dealer. Others represent payments of equipment installed at a dealer location. The prepaid incentives were approximately $44.9 million and $43.8 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are recorded as a part of other current assets and other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the term of the specific agreement. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

The Company evaluates if it is a principal or an agent in a transaction to determine whether revenue should be recorded on a gross or a net basis. In performing this analysis, the Company considers first whether it controls the goods before they are transferred to the customers and if it has the ability to direct the use of the goods or obtain benefits from them. The Company also considers the following indicators: (1) the primary obligor, (2) the latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, and (3) the inventory risk borne by the Company before and after the goods have been transferred to the customer. When the Company acts as principal, revenue is recorded on a gross basis. When the Company acts as agent, revenue is recorded on a net basis.

Certain fuel and sales taxes are invoiced by fuel suppliers or collected from customers and remitted to governmental agencies either directly, or through suppliers, by the Company. Whether these taxes are presented on a gross or net basis is dependent on whether the Company is acting as a principal or agent in the sales transaction. Fuel excise taxes are presented on a gross basis for fuel sales because the Company acts as the primary obligor, has pricing latitude, and is exposed to inventory and credit risks.

Refer to Note 10 for disclosure of the revenue disaggregated by segment and product line, as well as a description of the reportable segment operations.

5. Financial Derivative Instruments

The Company makes limited use of derivative instruments (futures contracts) to manage certain risks related to diesel fuel prices. The Company does not hold any derivatives for speculative purposes, and it does not use derivatives with leveraged or complex features. The Company currently uses derivative instruments that are traded primarily over national exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”). For accounting purposes, the Company has designated its derivative contracts as fair value hedges of firm commitments.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had fuel futures contracts to hedge approximately 2.3 million gallons and 2.9 million gallons, respectively, of diesel fuel for which the Company had a firm commitment to purchase. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had an asset derivative with a fair value of approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, recorded in other current assets and a firm commitment with a fair value of approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, recorded in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of cash collateral provided to counterparties that was classified as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. All cash flows associated with purchasing and selling fuel derivative instruments are classified as other operating activities, net in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

6. Equity

Dividends

The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) declared, and the Company paid, dividends of $0.03 per share of common stock on March 21, 2025, totaling approximately $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The amount and timing of dividends payable on the common stock are within the sole discretion of the Board, which will evaluate dividend payments within the context of the Company’s overall capital allocation strategy on an ongoing basis, giving consideration to its current and forecasted

Table of Contents

earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and other factors. As a result of the aggregate amount of dividends paid on the common stock through March 31, 2025, the conversion price of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock has been adjusted from $12.00 to $11.64 per share, as were the threshold share prices in the Additional Deferred Shares agreement (as defined in Note 9). The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share of common stock, to be paid on May 30, 2025 to stockholders of record as of May 19, 2025.

Share Repurchase Plan

In February 2022, the Board authorized a share repurchase program, which it subsequently increased in May 2023 and May 2024, to provide for the repurchase up to an aggregate of $125 million of outstanding shares of common stock. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock under the share repurchase program for approximately $5.2 million, or an average price of $4.01 per share. As of March 31, 2025, there was $20.5 million remaining under the share repurchase program.

7. Share-Based Compensation

The Compensation Committee of the Board has approved the grant of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and shares of common stock to certain employees, non-employees and members of the Board under the ARKO Corp. 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the “Plan”). Stock options granted under the Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant and the exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Vesting periods are assigned to stock options and RSUs on a grant-by-grant basis at the discretion of the Board. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs.

Additionally, a non-employee director may receive RSUs in lieu of up to 100% of his or her cash fees, which vest immediately and will be settled in common stock upon the director’s departure from the Board or an earlier change in control of the Company.

Stock Options

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, 287 thousand stock options vested. There was no other activity related to stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was approximately $0.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.9 years.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

The following table summarizes share activity related to RSUs and performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”):


	RSUs and PSUs			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
	(in thousands)
Nonvested RSUs and PSUs, December 31, 2024		4,612		$	6.89
Granted		3,546			4.60
Released		(1,454	)		7.89
Forfeited		(1	)		8.49
Nonvested RSUs and PSUs, March 31, 2025		6,703		$	5.45

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, 13 thousand RSUs were issued to non-employee directors. These awards are included in the table above under RSUs as both granted and released units. There were 485 thousand and 472 thousand RSUs issued to non-employee directors outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

In the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted 2.1 million PSUs, which, subject to achieving certain performance criteria, could result in the issuance of a number of shares of common stock equal to up to 150% of the number of PSUs granted, net of PSUs forfeited. The PSUs were awarded to certain employees and cliff vest at the end of a one or three-year period, subject to the achievement of specific performance criteria measured over such period. The number of PSUs that will ultimately vest is contingent upon the recipient continuing to be in the continuous service of the Company and related entities through the last day of the performance period or the applicable vesting date and a certification by the Compensation Committee of the Board that the applicable performance criteria have been met.

Table of Contents

For certain of the RSUs and PSUs granted in the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company has agreed to issue a capped number of incremental shares to the recipients if the Company’s stock price on the vesting dates of such awards is below a certain threshold price (written put options components). These awards were classified as equity instruments and valued based on the fair market value of the underlying stock together with the net fair value of the written put options on the grant date.

The Company assesses the probability of achieving the performance criteria on a quarterly basis. In the first quarter of 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board determined that the performance criteria for the performance period ended December 31, 2024 had been met and certified that the percentage of PSUs that vested with respect to the target amount for the 2022 PSU grants was 75%. For PSUs with market conditions, the Company records compensation expense based on the grant date fair value, recognized ratably over the performance and vesting periods of these awards.

The fair value of RSUs and PSUs released during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $6.6 million.

As of March 31, 2025, total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs and PSUs was approximately $28.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.1 years.

Share-Based Compensation Cost

Total share-based compensation cost recorded for employees and members of the Board for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $3.3 million and included in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

8. Earnings per Share

9. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, trade receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated their carrying values as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 primarily due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. On October 21, 2021, the Company completed a private offering of $450 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”). Based on market trades of the Senior Notes close to March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (Level 1 fair value measurement), the fair value of the Senior Notes was estimated at approximately $365.0 million and $411.1 million, respectively, compared to a gross carrying value of $450 million at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair values of the other long-term debt approximated their respective carrying values as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 due to the frequency with which interest rates are reset based on changes in prevailing interest rates. The fair value of fuel futures contracts was determined using NYMEX quoted values.

The contingent consideration from the acquisition of the business of Empire Petroleum Partners, LLC in 2020 is measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period and amounted to $3.8 million and $3.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value methodology for the contingent consideration liability is categorized as Level 3 because inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value adjustment. Approximately $0.1 million was recorded as components of interest and other financial expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and approximately $0.07 million and $(0.02) million of income (expenses) were recorded as components of other expenses, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The public warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock (the “Public Warrants”), of which approximately 14.8 million were outstanding as of March 31, 2025, are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period and amounted to $0.9 million and $6.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value methodology for the Public Warrants is categorized as Level 1. Approximately $5.8 million and $9.0 million were recorded as components of interest and other financial income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the change in the fair value of the Public Warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The private warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock (the “Private Warrants”), of which approximately 2.5 million were outstanding as of March 31, 2025, are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period and amounted to $0.1 million and $1.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value methodology for the Private Warrants is categorized as Level 2 because certain inputs for the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value adjustment. The Private Warrants have been recorded at fair value based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following material assumptions based on observable and unobservable inputs:


	March 31, 2025
Expected term (in years)		0.7
Expected dividend rate		3.0	%
Volatility		67.2	%
Risk-free interest rate		4.1	%
Strike price	$	11.50

For the change in the fair value of the Private Warrants, approximately $0.9 million and $1.5 million were recorded as components of interest and other financial income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The founders of Haymaker (as defined in Note 10 to the annual financial statements) will be entitled to up to 200 thousand shares of common stock to be issued subject to the number of incremental shares of common stock issued to the holders of the Series A redeemable preferred stock not being higher than certain thresholds (the “Additional Deferred Shares”). The Additional Deferred Shares are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period and amounted to $0.7 million and $1.1 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value methodology for the Additional Deferred Shares is categorized as Level 3 because inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value adjustment. The Additional Deferred Shares have been recorded at fair value based on a Monte Carlo pricing model with the following material assumptions based on observable and unobservable inputs:


	March 31, 2025
Expected term (in years)		2.2
Volatility		49.1	%
Risk-free interest rate		3.9	%
Stock price	$	3.95

For the change in the fair value of the Additional Deferred Shares, approximately $0.4 million was recorded as components of interest and other financial income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

10. Segment Reporting

The reportable segments were determined based on information reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for operational decision-making purposes, and the segment information is prepared on the same basis on which the

Table of Contents

CODM reviews such financial information. The Company’s reportable segments are retail, wholesale, fleet fueling and GPMP. The CODM utilizes operating income from each segment to assess its operating performance and to make decisions about allocating resources to each segment. Arie Kotler, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board is the CODM.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that rent expenses for each segment are recognized and measured on the basis of cash payments.

The retail segment includes the operation of a chain of retail stores, which includes convenience stores selling fuel products and other merchandise to retail customers. At its retail convenience stores, the Company owns the merchandise and fuel inventory and employs personnel to manage the store.

The wholesale segment supplies fuel to dealers, sub-wholesalers and bulk and spot purchasers, on either a cost plus or consignment basis. For consignment arrangements, the Company retains ownership of the fuel inventory at the site, is responsible for the pricing of the fuel to the end consumer and shares the gross profit with the dealers.

The fleet fueling segment includes the operation of proprietary and third-party cardlock locations (unstaffed fueling locations), and commissions from the sales of fuel using proprietary fuel cards that provide customers access to a nationwide network of fueling sites.

The GPMP segment includes GPMP and includes its sale and supply of fuel to substantially all of GPM’s sites that sell fuel in the retail and wholesale segments, at GPMP’s cost of fuel (including taxes and transportation) plus a fixed margin (currently 5.0 cents per gallon), and charges a fixed fee primarily to sites in the fleet fueling segment which are not supplied by GPMP (currently 5.0 cents per gallon sold).

The “All Other” segment includes the results of non-reportable segments which do not meet both quantitative and qualitative criteria as defined under ASC 280, Segment Reporting.

The significant expense categories and amounts align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM. Intersegment expenses are included within the amounts shown; however, the fuel costs in the retail, wholesale and fleet segments exclude the estimated fixed margin or fixed fee paid to GPMP for the cost of fuel.

The majority of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, net other expenses, net interest and other financial expenses, income taxes and minor other income items including intercompany operating leases are not allocated to the segments. Other segment expenses include utilities, telephone, upkeep and taxes, insurance, supplies, advertising, and certain other expenses. Other segment expenses in the GPMP segment also include general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, and other income, net.

With the exception of goodwill, assets and liabilities relevant to the reportable segments are generally not assigned to any particular segment, but rather, managed and reviewed by the CODM at the consolidated level. All reportable segment revenues were generated from sites within the U.S. and substantially all of the Company’s assets were within the U.S.

Inter-segment transactions primarily included the distribution of fuel by GPMP to substantially all of GPM’s sites that sell fuel (both in the retail and wholesale segments) and charges by GPMP primarily to sites that sell fuel in the fleet fueling segment which are not supplied by GPMP. The effect of these inter-segment transactions was eliminated in the interim financial statements.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Liabilities and Contingencies

The Company is subject to certain federal and state environmental laws and regulations associated with sites at which it stores and sells fuel and other fuel products, as well as at owned and leased locations leased or subleased to dealers. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, environmental obligations totaled $10.9 million and $11.3 million, respectively. These amounts were recorded as other current and non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Environmental reserves have been established on an undiscounted basis based upon internal and external estimates in regard to each site. It is reasonably possible that these amounts will be adjusted in the future due to changes in estimates of environmental remediation costs, the timing of the payments or changes in federal and/or state environmental regulations.

The Company maintains certain environmental insurance policies and participates in various state underground storage tank funds that entitle it to be reimbursed for remediation costs. Estimated amounts that will be recovered from its insurance policies and various state funds for the exposures totaled $6.4 million and $6.5 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and were recorded as other current and non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Asset Retirement Obligation

As part of the fuel operations at its retail convenience stores and proprietary cardlock locations, at most of the other owned and leased locations leased to dealers, certain other dealer locations and third-party cardlock locations, there are aboveground and underground storage tanks for which the Company is responsible. The future cost to remove a storage tank is recognized over the estimated remaining useful life of the storage tank, or if sooner, the termination of the applicable lease. A liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation with a corresponding increase to the carrying value of the related long-lived asset is recorded at the time a storage tank is installed. The estimated liability is based upon historical experience in removing storage tanks, estimated tank useful lives, external estimates as to the cost to remove the tanks in the future and current and anticipated federal and state regulatory requirements governing the removal of tanks, and discounted. The Company has recorded an asset retirement obligation of $88.3 million and $88.1 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The current portion of the asset retirement obligation is included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Program Agreement

Under and subject to the terms of the Program Agreement with Blue Owl (both as defined in Note 8 to the annual financial statements), Blue Owl had agreed, from May 2, 2023 through September 30, 2025, to purchase up to $1.0 billion of convenience store and gas station real property, cardlock locations and, subject to Blue Owl’s consent, other types of real property that GPM or an affiliate thereof may acquire. In March 2025, the Program Agreement terminated in accordance with its terms.

Potential Wage and Hour Collective Action

Table of Contents

On March 21, 2025, the Company and a law firm representing store managers in multiple states entered into a term sheet, pursuant to which the Company, without admitting any liability, agreed to settle allegations claiming that the Company violated the Fair Labor Standards Act and state laws by classifying certain store managers as exempt from overtime.

The settlement is subject to the parties executing a formal settlement agreement, filing of a complaint for a collective action in court along with the settlement agreement, and court approval of the proposed settlement. Assuming the court approves such settlement agreement and settlement, the amount payable by the Company will depend on how many of the store managers opt into the collective action. The ultimate resolution of the matter including settlement fees to employees, attorneys fees, employer taxes and administrative costs, which is expected to occur within the next 12 months, could result in an additional loss of up to $1.2 million in excess of the approximately $2.0 million accrued related to this matter, which was included in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Other Legal Matters

The Company is a party to various legal actions, as both plaintiff and defendant, in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management believes, based on estimations with support from legal counsel for these matters, that these legal actions are routine in nature and incidental to the operation of the Company’s business and that it is not reasonably probable that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Overview

ARKO Corp. was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on August 26, 2020. Our shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“common stock”), and publicly-traded warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “ARKO” and “ARKOW,” respectively. Our wholly owned subsidiary, GPM Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that was formed on June 12, 2002, which we refer to as GPM, is our primary operating entity.

Based in Richmond, VA, we are a leading independent convenience store operator and, as of March 31, 2025, we were one of the largest convenience store chains in the United States (“U.S.”) ranked by store count, operating 1,329 retail convenience stores. As of March 31, 2025, we also supplied fuel to 1,961 dealers locations and operated 280 cardlock locations (unstaffed fueling locations). We are well diversified geographically and, as of March 31, 2025, operated in the District of Columbia and more than 30 states in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern, Northeastern, Southeastern and Southwestern U.S.

Our retail segment includes the operation of a chain of retail stores, which includes convenience stores selling fuel products and merchandise to retail customers, from which we generate a significant portion of our revenue and a large proportion of our profitability. As of March 31, 2025, we operated the stores under more than 25 regional store brands including 1-Stop, Admiral, Apple Market®, BreadBox, Corner Mart, Dixie Mart, ExpressStop, E-Z Mart®, fas mart®, fastmarket®, Flash Market, Handy Mart, Jetz, Jiffi Stop®, Jiffy Stop, Li’l Cricket, Market Express, Next Door Store®, Pride, Roadrunner Markets, Rose Mart, Rstore, Scotchman®, shore stop®, Speedy’s, SpeedyQ, Town Star, Uncle’s, Village Pantry® and Young’s. We focus our marketing and merchandising initiatives at our retail stores on offering our customers an assortment of products with an attractive value proposition. Our retail offering includes a wide array of cold and hot foodservice, beverages, cigarettes and other tobacco products, candy, salty snacks, grocery, beer and general merchandise. We have foodservice offerings at approximately 1,130 stores, which include hot and fresh grab-n-go foods, deli, fried chicken, bakery, pizza, roller grill items and other prepared foods. We supplement our foodservice offering with approximately 110 quick service major national brand restaurants. Relevant and delicious food offerings are a key strategic priority for us, and we expect to maintain a high degree of focus on frozen grab-n-go and enhanced hot food capabilities. Additionally, we provide a number of traditional convenience store services, including lottery, prepaid products, gift cards, money orders, ATMs, gaming, and other ancillary product and service offerings. We also generate revenues from car washes at approximately 70 of our locations.

We had approximately 2.32 million enrolled members in our fas REWARDS® loyalty program at the end of the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 10.9% from the end of the first quarter of 2024. Our fas REWARDS® loyalty program is available in the majority of our stores and offers enrolled loyalty members in store exclusive promotional pricing, in-app member only deals not available without the app, as well as the ability to earn points that can be redeemed for either fuel or merchandise savings. Other in-app features include order and delivery, age verified offers on tobacco and alcohol, and a store locator with current gas prices at GPM stores nearby to members.

Our wholesale distribution of fuel, the sale of fuel at cardlock locations, and commissions earned from the sales of fuel using proprietary fuel cards that provide customers access to a nationwide network of fueling sites provide stable, ratable cash flows that, together with free cash flow from our retail segment, can be deployed to pursue accretive acquisitions and investments in our retail stores. The wholesale segment adds significant fuel volumes to our robust retail fuel sales, which we believe enhances our purchasing power for our entire platform, including our retail segment, and improves our competitiveness as an acquirer of choice.

Description of Segments

Retail Segment

Our retail segment includes the operation of a chain of retail stores, which includes convenience stores selling fuel products and merchandise to retail customers. At our convenience stores, we own the merchandise and fuel inventory and employ personnel to manage the store.

Wholesale Segment

Our wholesale segment supplies fuel to dealers, sub-wholesalers, and bulk and spot purchasers, on either a consignment or cost plus basis. For consignment arrangements, we retain ownership of the fuel inventory at the site, are responsible for the pricing of the fuel to the end consumer and share a portion of the gross profit earned from the sale of fuel with the consignment dealers. For cost plus arrangements, we sell fuel to dealers and bulk and spot purchasers on a fixed-fee basis. The sales price is determined according to the terms of the relevant agreement, which typically reflects our total fuel costs plus the cost of transportation and a margin, with us generally retaining the prompt pay discounts and rebates.

Fleet Fueling Segment

Our fleet fueling segment includes the operation of proprietary and third-party cardlock locations (unstaffed fueling locations), and commissions from the sales of fuel using proprietary fuel cards that provide customers access to a nationwide network of fueling sites.

GPMP Segment

Our GPMP segment engages in the wholesale distribution of fuel to substantially all of our sites that sell fuel in the retail and wholesale segments. GPM Petroleum LP (“GPMP”) sells fuel at GPMP’s cost of fuel (including taxes and transportation) plus a fixed margin and charges a fixed fee primarily to sites in the fleet fueling segment which are not supplied by GPMP.

Multi-Year Transformation Plan

We are currently continuing to develop and implement our Transformation Plan, which includes the following elements, among others:

(i)

Leveraging our unique, multi-segment operating model through more active conversion of retail stores within our retail segment to dealer sites within our wholesale segment. Following our review of our retail store portfolio, we have identified and expect to convert a meaningful number of retail locations to dealer sites, which we expect will yield greater profitability. Conversions of certain retail stores benefit both our dealers and us. Dealers are able to leverage their own scale by taking additional sites, while we realize higher profit from ongoing fuel supply agreements and rental income than from continuing to operate these stores in our retail segment. These conversions also will allow us to focus and better prioritize future investments in our remaining retail stores. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we converted 59 retail stores to dealer sites, and we expect to convert a meaningful number of additional stores throughout 2025.

(ii)

Additional targeted capital allocation toward strategic sub-segments of our retail stores, with a goal of increasing traffic and improving profitability. These investments will be guided by a pilot program, the development of which was initiated in 2024, designed to enhance the customer experience and strengthen our value proposition. Elements of this program are expected to include an expanded and refined merchandise assortment across our store network, with a focus on food and an enhanced in-store experience. Our current foodservice offering, which varies by store, primarily consists of hot and fresh grab-n-go foods, deli, fried chicken, bakery, pizza, roller grill items and other prepared foods. We have historically relied upon a limited number of franchised quick service restaurants and in-store delis to drive customer traffic. As a result, we believe that our under-penetration of foodservice presents an opportunity to expand foodservice offerings and margin in response to changing consumer behavior. The pilot program consists of seven stores within one of our regions, with plans for a region-wide rollout before, ultimately, the expansion of this program across our retail footprint. We started construction on one of the remodels in early May 2025 and expect to start work on the second remodel in the middle of May 2025.

(iii)

Increased focus on both our pricing and procurement strategies across our retail stores to support ongoing merchandise margin rate growth.

As we proceed with this Transformation Plan, we may incur associated non-recurring expenses, including personnel costs, divestiture costs, professional services fees, and losses on disposal of assets and impairment charges.

Trends Impacting Our Business

We achieved strong store growth over the last decade, driven primarily by a highly successful acquisition strategy, inclusive of 26 completed acquisitions from 2013 through March 31, 2025. Most recently, on April 9, 2024, we completed our acquisition of 21 SpeedyQ Markets convenience stores located in Michigan (the “SpeedyQ Acquisition”). Our strategic acquisitions, as well as the conversion of a meaningful number of retail locations to dealer sites, have had, and may continue to have, a significant impact on our reported results, which can make period to period comparisons of results difficult.

In the first quarter of 2025, we opened a Dunkin’ store and a fastmarket® location. Additionally, four NTI (new to industry) stores are in our development pipeline. We have started construction on three of these, with one store awaiting a final permit. These NTIs are expected to open in the second half of 2025.

Our results of operation are significantly impacted by the retail fuel margins we earn on gallons sold. These fuel margins can change rapidly because they are influenced by many factors, including: the wholesale cost of fuel; interruptions in supply caused by severe weather; supply chain disruptions; refinery mechanical failures; and competition in the local markets in which we operate.

The cost of our main products, gasoline and diesel fuel, is greatly impacted by the wholesale cost of fuel in the United States. We attempt to pass wholesale fuel cost changes to our customers through retail price changes; however, we are not always able to do so. Competitive conditions primarily affect the timing of any related increase or decrease in retail prices. As a result, we tend to experience lower fuel margins when the cost of fuel is increasing gradually over a longer period and higher fuel margins when the cost of fuel is declining or more volatile over a shorter period of time. Depending on future market and geopolitical conditions, the supply of fuel, including diesel fuel in particular, may become constrained. Accordingly, we maintain terminal storage of diesel fuel for short-term supply needs for our fleet fueling sites.

Additionally, the significant increase in the rate of inflation in the U.S. in recent years and the effect of higher prevailing interest rates have increased merchandise cost and reduced consumer purchasing power. We have mitigated the impact of a portion of

Table of Contents

these higher costs on operating results with retail price increases. The persistence of, or increase in, inflation or high interest rates could negatively impact the demand for our products and services, including due to consumers reducing travel, which could reduce sales volumes. Because of recent and current labor market conditions and the prevailing wage rates in the markets in which we operate, we have increased wages, which has increased, and may continue to increase, our costs associated with recruiting and retaining qualified personnel. Additionally, any major changes in tax or trade policy between the U.S. and countries from which we or our suppliers source merchandise and other products for our sites, such as the imposition of additional tariffs or duties on imported products, could require us to take certain actions, including raising prices on products we sell and seeking alternative sources of supply. Further, any major changes could lead to significant cost increases and delays in opening remodeled or new convenience stores or other improvements to our sites.

We also operate in a highly competitive retail convenience market that includes businesses with operations and services that are similar to those that we provide. We believe that convenience stores managed by individual operators who offer branded or non-branded fuel are also significant competitors in the local markets in which we operate. Often, operators of both chains and individual stores compete by selling unbranded fuel at lower retail prices relative to the market. The convenience store industry is also experiencing competition from other retail sectors including grocery stores, large warehouse retail stores, dollar stores and pharmacies.

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal, and our operating income in the second and third quarters has historically been significantly greater than in the first and fourth quarters as a result of the generally favorable climate and seasonal buying patterns of our customers.

Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

The period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation have been prepared using our condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Financial Statements”). The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Quarterly Financial Statements. All figures for fuel costs, fuel contribution and fuel margin per gallon exclude the estimated fixed margin or fixed fee paid to GPMP for the cost of fuel (intercompany charges by GPMP).

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 versus Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, fuel revenue decreased by $184.4 million, or 11.3%, compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in fuel revenue was attributable primarily to a decrease in the average price of fuel compared to the first quarter of 2024 and fewer gallons sold in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 due to a challenging macroeconomic environment, as well as severe weather conditions in January and February 2025 in certain of the markets in which we operate.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, merchandise revenue decreased by $60.2 million, or 14.5%, compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in merchandise revenue from retail stores that we closed or converted to dealers in the trailing 12 month period and a decrease in same store merchandise revenues.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, other revenues, net increased by $1.0 million, or 3.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the net impact of additional income from retail stores that we converted to dealers in the trailing 12 month period and additional revenue from the SpeedyQ Acquisition.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total operating expenses decreased by $236.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2024. Fuel costs decreased $177.2 million, or 11.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2024, and merchandise costs decreased $42.8 million, or 15.3%, compared to the first quarter of 2024, consistent with the reduction in fuel and merchandise revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, site operating expenses decreased $19.0 million, or 8.7%, compared to the first quarter of 2024 due to a decrease in same store expenses, including lower personnel costs and credit card fees partially offset by higher snow removal expenses resulting from severe weather conditions in certain of the markets in which we operate, and expenses from retail stores that we closed or converted to dealers, slightly offset by incremental expenses as a result of the SpeedyQ Acquisition.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 1.3%, compared to the first quarter of 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $3.2 million, or 10.0%, compared to the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to assets acquired in the trailing 12 month period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, other expenses, net decreased by $0.3 million, or 10.5%, compared to the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to fewer losses on disposal of assets and impairment charges, partially offset by greater acquisition and divestiture costs in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, operating loss was $11.8 million compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower same store merchandise and fuel contribution, partially offset by the benefit from retail stores that we closed or converted to dealers in the trailing 12 month period. Higher depreciation and amortization expenses also added to the increase in operating loss.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, interest and other financial expenses, net increased by $11.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily related to a decrease of $3.8 million in income recorded in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period for fair value adjustments related to the Public Warrants, Private Warrants and Additional Deferred Shares (each as defined in Note 9 to the Quarterly Financial Statements) and approximately $9.2 million recorded as financial income in the first quarter of 2024 related to the issuance of the shares as payment of deferred consideration and the settlement of deferred consideration related to the TEG acquisition, partially offset by higher interest income generated and lower average interest rates in the first quarter of 2025.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 versus Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Retail Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, fuel revenue decreased by $133.7 million, or 16.2%, compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in fuel revenue was attributable to a decrease in gallons sold at same stores of approximately 6.2%, or 14.6 million gallons, reflecting the challenging macroeconomic environment as well as severe weather conditions in January and February 2025 in certain of the markets in which we operate, and a $0.16 per gallon decrease in the average retail price of fuel in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to market factors. Retail stores which we closed or converted to dealers in the trailing 12 month period also negatively impacted gallons sold by 19.2 million gallons. Partially offsetting these decreases was an incremental 3.1 million gallons sold, or $9.2 million in fuel revenue, contributed by the SpeedyQ Acquisition.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, merchandise revenue decreased by $60.2 million, or 14.5%, compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily caused by a decline in customer transactions reflecting the challenging macroeconomic environment as well as severe weather conditions in January and February 2025 in certain of the markets in which we operate, and a decrease in merchandise revenue of $40.5 million from retail stores that we closed or converted to dealers in the trailing 12 month period. The SpeedyQ Acquisition contributed approximately $5.7 million of incremental merchandise revenue. Same store merchandise sales decreased $25.5 million, or 6.9%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. More than half of the decline in same store merchandise revenue was caused by lower revenues from cigarettes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, other revenues, net decreased by $2.1 million, or 12.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to a decrease of $1.4 million in same store other revenues principally due to reduced lottery commissions and a decrease in other revenues of $1.0 million from retail stores that we closed or converted to dealers in the trailing 12 month period, partially offset by additional income from the SpeedyQ Acquisition.

Retail Operating Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, fuel contribution decreased $7.7 million, or 8.2%, compared to the first quarter of 2024. The same store fuel contribution decrease of $3.2 million was partially offset by incremental fuel contribution from the SpeedyQ Acquisition of approximately $1.3 million. Fuel margin per gallon at same stores for the first quarter of 2025 increased to

Table of Contents

37.9 cents per gallon from 36.9 cents per gallon for the first quarter of 2024. In addition, a decrease in fuel contribution of $5.8 million was related to retail stores that we closed or converted to dealers in the trailing 12 month period compared to the first quarter of 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, merchandise contribution decreased $17.3 million, or 12.9%, compared to the same period in 2024, while merchandise margin increased to 33.2% compared to 32.5% in the prior period. The decrease in merchandise contribution was due to a decrease in merchandise contribution of $12.8 million related to retail stores that we closed or converted to dealers in the trailing 12 month period and a decrease in same store merchandise contribution of approximately $6.6 million, partially offset by $1.8 million in incremental merchandise contribution from the SpeedyQ Acquisition. Same store merchandise contribution decreased in the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to lower contributions from several core destination categories and cigarettes. Same store merchandise margin was 33.2% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 32.7% in the first quarter of 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, site operating expenses decreased $20.8 million, or 10.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due $22.2 million of reduced expenses related to retail stores that we closed or converted to dealers in the trailing 12 month period, and a decrease in same store operating expenses of $2.3 million, or 1.4%, related to lower personnel costs and credit card fees partially offset by higher snow removal expenses resulting from severe weather conditions in certain of the markets in which we operate. These decreases were partially offset by $3.3 million of incremental expenses related to the SpeedyQ Acquisition.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 versus Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Wholesale Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, fuel revenue decreased by $35.0 million, or 5.3%, compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in the average price of fuel in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by a 3.4 million, or 1.5%, increase in gallons sold. Of total gallons sold, the retail stores that we converted to dealers in the trailing 12 month period contributed 13.7 million gallons, which were partially offset by lower volumes at comparable wholesale sites.

Wholesale Operating Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, wholesale operating income increased $0.3 million, compared to the first quarter of 2024. Additional operating income from retail sites converted to dealers in the trailing 12 month period more than offset reduced operating income at comparable wholesale sites. An increase of approximately $3.5 million in other revenues, net, was partially offset by a decrease in fuel contribution of approximately $0.7 million and an increase in site operating expenses of $2.5 million in the first

Table of Contents

quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase in other revenues, net and site operating expenses was primarily due to retail stores we converted to dealers in the trailing 12 month period.

At fuel supply locations, fuel contribution decreased by $0.1 million, and fuel margin per gallon also decreased for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, due principally to lower volumes at comparable wholesale sites primarily due to severe weather conditions in January and February 2025 in certain of the markets in which we operate, which was partially offset by incremental contribution from the retail stores converted to dealers of $1.0 million.

At consignment agent locations, fuel contribution decreased $0.6 million, and fuel margin per gallon also decreased for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, due to lower volumes at comparable wholesale sites primarily due to severe weather conditions in January and February 2025 in certain of the markets in which we operate, which was partially offset by the incremental contribution of $0.3 million from retail stores converted to dealers. Fuel margin per gallon also decreased due to a change in the composition of consignment agent locations compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Fleet Fueling Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, fuel revenue decreased by $13.8 million, or 10.4%, compared to first quarter of 2024. Fleet fueling revenues were negatively impacted by a 4.2% decrease in gallons sold due primarily to severe weather conditions in January and February 2025 in certain of the markets in which we operate, and a decrease in the average price of fuel in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Fleet Fueling Operating Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, fuel contribution increased by $1.4 million compared to first quarter of 2024. At proprietary cardlocks, fuel contribution increased by $1.0 million, and fuel margin per gallon also increased for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to favorable diesel margins. At third-party cardlock locations, fuel contribution increased $0.4 million, and fuel margin per gallon also increased for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the closure of underperforming third-party locations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, site operating expenses decreased $0.1 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 versus Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

GPMP Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, fuel revenue decreased by $162.7 million, or 14.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in fuel revenue was attributable to a decrease in both gallons sold and the average price of fuel for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, other revenues, net and inter-segment other revenues, net related to the fixed fee primarily charged to sites in the fleet fueling segment (currently 5.0 cents per gallon sold) were similar.

GPMP Operating Income

Fuel margin decreased by $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to fewer gallons sold to the retail and wholesale segments at a fixed margin.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total general and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2024, and depreciation and amortization expenses for the first quarter of 2025 remained consistent with the first quarter of 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

We disclose certain measures on a “same store basis,” which is a non-GAAP measure. Information disclosed on a “same store basis” excludes the results of any store that is not a “same store” for the applicable period. A store is considered a same store beginning in the first quarter in which the store had a full quarter of activity in the prior year. We believe that this information provides greater comparability regarding our ongoing operating performance. Neither this measure nor those described below should be considered an alternative to measurements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA by excluding the gain or loss on disposal of assets, impairment charges, acquisition and divestiture costs, share-based compensation expense, other non-cash items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures.

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for operational and financial decision-making and believe these measures are useful in evaluating our performance because they eliminate certain items that we do not consider indicators of our operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by many of our investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in evaluating

Table of Contents

our operational and financial performance across reporting periods. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors by allowing an understanding of key measures that we use internally for operational decision-making, budgeting, evaluating acquisition targets, and assessing our operating performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) or any other financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes 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.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, same store measures, EBITDA and Adjusted 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 these non-GAAP financial measures with those used by other companies.

The following table contains a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

(i)

Non-cash rent expense reflects the extent to which our GAAP rent expense recognized exceeded (or was less than) our cash rent payments. GAAP rent expense varies depending on the terms of our lease portfolio. For newer leases, our rent expense recognized typically exceeds our cash rent payments, whereas, for more mature leases, rent expense recognized is typically less than our cash rent payments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, availability under our credit facilities and our cash balances. Our principal liquidity requirements are the financing of current operations, funding capital expenditures (including acquisitions), and servicing debt. We finance our inventory purchases primarily from customary trade credit aided by relatively rapid inventory turnover, as well as cash generated from operations. Rapid inventory turnover allows us to conduct operations without the need for large amounts of cash and working capital. We largely rely on internally generated cash flows and borrowings for operations, which we believe are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures, as well as the cost of acquisitions, will depend on our future operating performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. As a normal part of our business, we will from time to time consider opportunities to repay, redeem, repurchase or refinance our indebtedness, depending on market conditions. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, acquisitions, or other events may cause us to seek additional debt or equity financing in future periods. Additional debt financing could impose increased cash payment obligations, as well as covenants that may restrict our operations. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. As of March 31, 2025, approximately 49% of our debt bore interest at variable rates, similar to December 31, 2024, which increases our interest rate risk and may require that we use more of our cash flow for the payment of interest if prevailing interest rates increase or we incur additional indebtedness under our variable rate facilities or otherwise. See also “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Interest Rate Risk.”

As of March 31, 2025, we were in a strong liquidity position of approximately $847 million, consisting of approximately $265 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $582 million of availability under our lines of credit available for certain purposes. This liquidity position currently provides us with adequate funding to satisfy our contractual and other obligations from our existing cash balances. As of March 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under our $140.0 million PNC Line of Credit (as defined below), $31.2 million of unused availability under the M&T equipment line of credit, described below, and $418.7 million of unused availability under our $800 million Capital One Line of Credit (as defined below), which we may elect to increase up to $1.0 billion, subject to obtaining additional financing commitments from current lenders or other banks, and subject to certain other terms.

The Board declared, and the Company paid, dividends of $0.03 per share of common stock on March 21, 2025, totaling approximately $3.5 million. Additionally, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share of common stock, to be paid on May 30, 2025 to stockholders of record as of May 19, 2025. The amount and timing of dividends payable on our common stock are within the sole discretion of our Board, which will evaluate dividend payments within the context of our overall capital allocation strategy on an ongoing basis, giving consideration to our current and forecast earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and other factors. There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay such dividends or the amounts of such dividends.

We have a share repurchase program for up to an aggregate of $125.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock under the share repurchase program for approximately $5.2 million, or an average price of $4.01 per share. The share repurchase program does not have a stated expiration date. Whether and the extent to which we repurchase shares depends on a number of factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors management may deem relevant. The timing, volume, and nature of repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws, and other factors, and the program may be amended, suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases may be effected from time to time through open market purchases, including pursuant to a pre-set trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)of the Exchange Act, privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to accelerated share repurchase agreements entered into with one or more counterparties, or otherwise.

To date, we have funded capital expenditures primarily through funds generated from operations, funds received from vendors, sale-leaseback transactions, the issuance of debt and existing cash. Future capital required to finance operations, acquisitions, and raze-and-rebuild, functionally remodel and fully remodel and update stores is expected to come from cash on hand, cash generated by operations, availability under lines of credit, and additional long-term debt and equipment leases, as circumstances may dictate. In the short- to medium-term, we currently expect that our capital spending program will be primarily focused on remodeling and updating stores, including as part of our Transformation Plan, and maintaining our properties and equipment. In the medium- to long-term, we currently expect that our capital spending program will align with our Transformation Plan. We do not expect such capital needs to

Table of Contents

adversely affect liquidity. We expect to remain opportunistic with respect to the expansion of our store base through acquisitions, and we will evaluate such opportunities in concert with our capital spending program.

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

Total	$	(2,871	)	$	(35,707	)

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operations are our main source of liquidity. We have historically relied primarily on cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary from time to time by borrowings on our credit facilities and other debt or equity transactions to finance our operations and to fund our capital expenditures. Cash flow provided by operating activities is primarily impacted by our net income and changes in working capital.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash flows provided by operating activities were $43.4 million compared to $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the prior year period was primarily the result of deposits received from dealers (including deposits related to retail stores we expect to convert to dealer locations), incremental vendor incentives received, and changes in working capital resulting from, among others, the day of the week on which the quarter ended and the conversions of retail stores to dealers, as well as lower net interest payments, which were partially offset by a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities primarily reflect capital expenditures for acquisitions and replacing and maintaining existing facilities and equipment used in the business.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash used in investing activities decreased by $1.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we utilized $27.4 million for capital expenditures, including the purchase of a fee property, investments in NTI stores, EV chargers, upgrades to fuel dispensers and other investments in our stores.

Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities primarily consist of increases and decreases in the principal amount of our lines of credit and debt, and issuance of common stock, net of dividends paid and common stock repurchases.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, financing activities consisted primarily of repayments of $5.7 million for long-term debt, repayments of $1.4 million for financing leases, $3.5 million for dividend payments on common stock, $1.4 million for dividend payments on the Series A redeemable preferred stock and $7.4 million for common stock repurchases. Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were impacted by payment of the deferred consideration owed for the TEG acquisition, including the repurchase of shares originally issued as payment of deferred consideration and the settlement of deferred consideration related to the TEG acquisition.

Credit Facilities and Senior Notes

Senior Notes

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding $450 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”). Issued in October 2021, the Senior Notes are guaranteed, on an unsecured senior basis, by certain of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains customary

Table of Contents

restrictive covenants that, among other things, generally limit the ability of the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries to (i) create liens, (ii) pay dividends, acquire shares of capital stock and make payments on subordinated debt, (iii) place limitations on distributions from certain subsidiaries, (iv) issue or sell the capital stock of certain subsidiaries, (v) sell assets, (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates, (vii) effect mergers and (viii) incur indebtedness. The Senior Notes and the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ respective existing and future senior unsubordinated indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness; and are structurally subordinated to any existing and future obligations of subsidiaries of the Company that are not Guarantors.

Financing Agreement with PNC

GPM and certain subsidiaries have a financing arrangement (as amended, the “PNC Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank National Association (“PNC”) to provide a line of credit with an aggregate principal amount of up to $140 million for purposes of financing working capital (the “PNC Line of Credit”).

The PNC Line of Credit bears interest, as elected by GPM at: (a) SOFR Adjusted plus Term SOFR (as defined in the PNC Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75% or (b) a rate per annum equal to the alternate base rate (as defined in the PNC Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 0% to 0.50%. Every quarter, the SOFR margin rate and the alternate base rate margin rate are updated based on the quarterly average undrawn availability of the line of credit. The calculation of the availability under the PNC Line of Credit is determined monthly subject to terms and limitations as set forth in the PNC Credit Agreement, taking into account the balances of receivables, inventory and letters of credit, among other things. As of March 31, 2025, $8.2 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the PNC Credit Agreement.

Financing Agreements with M&T Bank

As of March 31, 2025, GPM has a financing arrangement with M&T Bank that provides a line of credit for up to $45.0 million to purchase equipment on or before September 2026, which may be borrowed in tranches, as well as an aggregate original principal amount of $49.5 million of real estate loans (the “M&T Term Loans”). As of March 31, 2025, approximately $31.2 million remained available under the equipment line of credit.

Each additional equipment loan tranche under such financing agreement will have a term of up to five years from the date it is advanced, payable in equal monthly payments of principal plus interest of SOFR (as defined in the agreement) plus 2.75%. The M&T Term Loans bear interest at SOFR Adjusted (as defined in the agreement) plus 2.75% to 3.00% (depending on the loan), mature in June 2026 or November 2028 (depending on the loan) and are payable in monthly installments based on a fifteen-year amortization schedule, with the balance of each loan payable at maturity.

Financing Agreement with a Syndicate of Banks Led by Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”)

GPMP has a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Capital One, National Association, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $800 million (the “Capital One Line of Credit”). At GPMP’s request, the Capital One Line of Credit can be increased up to $1.0 billion, subject to obtaining additional financing commitments from current lenders or from other banks, and subject to certain terms as detailed in the Capital One Line of Credit. The Capital One Line of Credit is available for general GPMP purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions.

The Capital One Line of Credit matures on May 5, 2028. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $380.8 million was drawn on the Capital One Line of Credit, $0.5 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the Capital One Line of Credit and approximately $418.7 million was available thereunder.

The Capital One Line of Credit bears interest, as elected by GPMP at: (a) Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the agreement) plus a margin of 2.25% to 3.25% or (b) a rate per annum equal to the alternate base rate (as defined in the agreement) plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.25%. The margin is determined according to a formula in the Capital One Line of Credit that depends on GPMP’s leverage.

Critical Accounting Estimates

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk

We have limited exposure to commodity price risk as a result of the payment and volume-related discounts in certain of our fuel supply contracts with our fuel suppliers, which are based on the market price of motor fuel. Significant increases in fuel prices could result in significant increases in the retail price of fuel and in lower sales to consumers and dealers. When fuel prices rise, some of our dealers may have insufficient credit to purchase fuel from us at their historical volumes. In addition, significant and persistent increases in the retail price of fuel could also diminish consumer demand, which could subsequently diminish the volume of fuel we distribute. A significant percentage of our sales are made with the use of credit cards. Because the interchange fees we pay when credit cards are used to make purchases are based on transaction amounts, higher fuel prices at the pump and higher gallon movements result in higher credit card expenses. These additional fees increase operating expenses. From time to time, we make use of derivative commodity instruments to manage risks associated with an immaterial number of gallons designed to offset changes in the price of fuel that are directly tied to firm commitments to purchase diesel fuel.

Interest Rate Risk

We may be subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based on our financing, investing, and cash management activities. The Senior Notes bear a fixed interest rate, therefore, an increase or decrease in prevailing interest rates has no impact on our debt service for the Senior Notes. As of March 31, 2025, the interest rate on our Capital One Line of Credit was 7.2%, the interest rate on our M&T Term Loans was 7.3% and the interest rate on the variable portion of our M&T equipment loan was 7.1% (approximately $11.7 million of the total loan). As of March 31, 2024, the interest rate on our Capital One Line of Credit was 8.2%, the interest rate on our M&T Term Loans was 8.3% and the interest rate on the variable portion of our M&T equipment loan was 8.1% (approximately $15.6 million of the total loan). As of March 31, 2025, approximately 49% of our debt bore interest at variable rates. Based on the outstanding balances as of March 31, 2025, if our applicable interest rates each increase by 1%, then our debt service on an annual basis would increase by approximately $4.3 million. Interest rates on commercial bank borrowings and debt offerings could be higher than current levels, causing our financing costs to increase accordingly. Although this could limit our ability to raise funds in the debt capital markets, we expect to remain competitive with respect to acquisitions and capital projects, as our competitors would likely face similar circumstances.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.

Changes to the Company’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the calendar quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
