| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
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 September 30, 2025 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 estimates include lease liabilities; impairment of goodwill, intangible, right-of-use and fixed assets; environmental assets and liabilities; deferred tax assets; and asset retirement obligations. Trade Receivables The majority of trade receivables are typically from dealers, fleet fueling customers, customer credit accounts and credit card companies in the ordinary course of business. Balances due in respect of credit cards processed through the Company’s fuel suppliers and other providers are collected within two to three days depending upon the day of the week, and time of the day, of the purchase. Receivables from dealers and customer credit accounts are typically due within one to 30 days and are stated as amounts due. Accounts that are outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. At each balance sheet date, the Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables. As of September 30, 2025, September 30, 2024, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, net trade receivables totaled $112.3 million, $117.9 million, $95.8 million and $134.7 million, respectively. 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 $7.9 million, $5.9 million, $6.7 million and $4.4 million as of September 30, 2025, September 30, 2024, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, were recorded as a part of other current assets and other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and were amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of transfer of the goods or services to which such costs relate. Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0.4 million, $0.5 million, $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and were 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 for equipment installed at a dealer location. The prepaid incentives were approximately $49.9 million, $42.9 million, $43.8 million and $37.9 million as of September 30, 2025, September 30, 2024, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, were recorded as a part of other current assets and other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and were amortized as a reduction of revenue over the term of the specific agreement. Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $1.7 million, $1.4 million, $4.7 million and $3.8 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 is acting 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. Legislative Update On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”) was signed into law. The OBBB reinstated several key income tax provisions that were initially part of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, but which been phased out in recent years or were set to expire in 2025, and made other changes to income tax provisions, many of which are not effective until 2026. The OBBB, among other things, repealed the mandatory capitalization of domestic research and development expenditures under Internal Revenue Code Section 174, extended the ability to take 100% bonus depreciation, reinstituted the EBITDA based Section 163(j) calculation, revised international tax regimes, and accelerated the phase out of clean energy credits. The Company has evaluated the impact of the OBBB and reflected the projected effects in these interim financial statements. Specifically, the Company anticipates a favorable impact on the timing of cash paid for taxes during 2025, resulting in a reduction of approximately $8.0 million for the full year 2025. The Company does not anticipate the OBBB to have a material impact on its effective tax rate for 2025. The Company will continue to monitor future guidance and developments related to the OBBB and will update its income tax disclosures as appropriate. |
