Murphy USA Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2021 Results

EL DORADO, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Murphy USA Inc. (NYSE: MUSA), a leading marketer of retail motor fuel products and convenience merchandise, today announced financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

Key Highlights:

• Net income was $108.8 million, or $4.23 per diluted share, in Q4 2021 compared to net income of $61.0 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, in Q4 2020. For the year 2021, net income was $396.9 million, or $14.92 per diluted share, compared to 2020 net income of $386.1 million, or $13.08 per diluted share.

• Total fuel contribution (retail fuel margin plus product supply and wholesale ("PS&W") results including RINs) for Q4 2021 was 27.5 cpg, compared to 19.8 cpg in Q4 2020. For the year, total fuel contribution was 26.3 cpg, compared to 25.2 in 2020.

• Total retail gallons increased 10.5% to 1.1 billion gallons in Q4 2021 compared to Q4 2020, while volumes on a same store sales ("SSS") basis increased 1.4%. For the year, total retail gallons increased 11.6% to 4.4 billion gallons and increased 3.0% on an SSS basis.

• Merchandise contribution dollars increased 57.2% to $181.4 million compared to the prior-year quarter. Average unit margins were 19.6% in the current quarter compared to 15.5% in the prior-year quarter. For the full year, merchandise contribution dollars increased 52.7% to $701.6 million on average unit margins of 19.1% in 2021. Increases in both contribution dollars and unit margins were primarily attributable to the QuickChek acquisition in 2021.

• Food and beverage contribution margin increased significantly to 15.2% of total merchandise contribution dollars in Q4 2021 compared to 0.8% in Q4 2020, and for the year was 14.3% compared to 0.8% in 2020, primarily due to the acquisition of QuickChek.

• During Q4 2021, the Company opened 10 new Murphy Express stores and 2 QuickChek stores, reopened 9 raze-and-rebuilds, and closed 2 QuickChek stores. The year-end store count was 1,679. There are 13 new Murphy Express sites, 1 new QuickChek site, and 3 raze-and-rebuild Murphy USA sites currently under construction in addition to the 2 stores already placed in service in January.

• The Company repurchased approximately 0.7 million common shares during Q4 2021 for $123.5 million at an average price of $176.62 per share. For the year 2021, the Company repurchased 2.4 million shares for $355.0 million at an average of $148.00 per share. In December 2021, the Company announced an additional authorization to repurchase shares of up to $1 billion in value by December 31, 2026 once the current program is complete.

• The Company paid a quarterly cash dividend in December 2021 of $0.29 per Common share, $1.16 on an annualized basis, for a total of approximately $7.4 million.

“We are proud to report a second consecutive year of record EBITDA and earnings, as our advantaged everyday low price business model enables us to grow market share in the current environment," said President and CEO Andrew Clyde. “We achieved new milestones as the fuels business generated over $1 billion in margin and merchandise sales and margin eclipsed $3 billion and $700 million, respectively. These results were partially driven by QuickChek, where we surpassed our year-one target for synergy realization, even as we uncover additional potential beyond our $28 million of targeted synergies. While 2021 was not without its challenges that drove costs higher and impacted new store activity, we believe our position as a low-cost leader enables us to thrive in an environment in which consumers are increasingly price sensitive. We are focused on driving further process efficiencies in the core business to maintain our cost discipline. Our ability to return more than $130 million in capital to shareholders last quarter while continuing to invest in growth initiatives that will enable long-term value creation for our shareholders is testament to our strong free cash flow generation."

Adjusted EBITDA ($ Millions)	$	216.2	$	136.3	$	828.0	$	722.7

Net income and Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 and year 2021 were higher versus the prior periods, primarily due to higher all-in fuel contribution, combined with higher merchandise margin contribution, and in each period was partially offset by higher store operating expenses and higher payment fees. Net income was further impacted by higher interest, depreciation, and income tax expense for Q4 and the full year. All amounts reported for the quarter and full year 2021 periods include the consolidated results of QuickChek from January 29, 2021.

Total fuel contribution dollars increased 53.1%, or $106.6 million, in Q4 of 2021 compared to Q4 of 2020 and for the full year 2021 increased 16.5%, or $162.2 million. Retail fuel margins in Q4 2021 increased to 25.5 cpg, or 65.6% above Q4 2020 despite a dynamic fuel pricing environment. Consequently, total retail fuel contribution dollars increased $129.8 million, or 83.5%, compared to the prior-year quarter and for the year increased $56.3 million, or 6.3% due to both higher retail fuel margins and volumes. PS&W margin (including RINs) decreased by $23.2 million when compared to Q4 2020 primarily due to a lower impact from timing and inventory pricing adjustments.

Total merchandise contribution increased 57.2% to $181.4 million in Q4 2021 from $115.4 million in the prior year quarter and increased 52.7% to $701.6 million for the year 2021 due primarily to the inclusion of QuickChek. Food and beverage contribution, a subset of non-tobacco, experienced a significant increase to 15.2% of the total merchandise contribution for Q4 2021 compared to 0.8% in Q4 2020 and was 14.3% for the year 2021 compared to 0.8% in 2020, primarily due to the effects of QuickChek's prepared food offering.

Store OPEX excluding payment fees and rent was an aggregate $54.7 million higher in Q4 2021 versus Q4 2020 and was $191.3 million higher for the year 2021, primarily attributable to the addition of QuickChek. While QuickChek locations have higher per store operating costs due to the larger format and prepared food offering, the MUSA network also experienced higher operating expenses, primarily due to higher employee-related expenses and higher maintenance costs, combined with more stores in the network. Total SG&A costs for Q4 2021 were $12.5 million higher than in Q4 2020 and for the year were $22.5 million higher, primarily due to increased professional fees and the inclusion of QuickChek in 2021 results.

Store Openings

The Company opened 12 new-to-industry retail locations while closing 2 stores in Q4 2021, bringing the network total to 1,679. This total consists of 1,151 Murphy USA stores, 370 Murphy Express stores, and 158 QuickChek stores. There are a total of 17 stores currently under construction, including 13 new 2,800 sq. foot Murphy Express stores, 1 QuickChek store, and 3 raze-and-rebuilds.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had common shares outstanding of 24,935,260. Common shares repurchased under the $500 million share repurchase program approved in November 2020 were approximately 0.7 million shares for $123.5 million in the current quarter.

Approximately $20.0 million remains in the current share repurchase plan at December 31, 2021. In December 2021, the Company announced a new repurchase authorization of up to $1 billion by December 31, 2026 once the current program is complete.

The effective income tax rate for Q4 2021 was 22.8% compared to 24.4% in Q4 2020, and the decrease is due primarily to discrete tax events attributable to the QuickChek acquisition. For the year 2021, the effective income tax rate was 24.0% compared to 24.2% in 2020.

The Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.29 per share, or $1.16 per share on an annualized basis, on December 1, 2021, for a total cash payment of $7.4 million. Total cash dividends paid in 2021 were $27.3 million compared to dividends paid of $6.9 million in 2020.

Management's annual guidance for 2022 reflects the Company's economic and market environment assessment, business improvement initiatives and known potential headwinds. Key 2022 guidance ranges include the following assumptions and are subject to the uncertainties noted below:

Organic Growth:

• New store additions and raze-and-rebuild sites reflect continuation of a disciplined capital approach to the highest return opportunities and may be split between the Murphy USA, Murphy Express, or QuickChek brands

Fuel Contribution:

• Per store fuel volumes are expected to recover slightly from 2021 levels that were impacted by COVID-19

Store Profitability:

• Merchandise contribution represents a range of outcomes based on management's expectations around higher merchandise sales and the enhanced QuickChek brand capabilities

• Store operating expenses per site, before credit card fees and rent, will continue to be reflected as an APSM dollars metric to better reflect the ongoing shift in format mix and higher costs for the larger format QuickChek stores with a greater food and beverage offering

Corporate Costs:

• SG&A costs reflect continued investments in IT related productivity enhancements, QuickChek integration and other corporate initiatives to help drive profitability, reduce costs where able, and improve the company's long-term competitive position, subject to timing and allocation of resources

• The effective tax rate in 2022 is expected to be in a range of 24% to 26%

Capital Allocation:

• Capital expenditures reflect new store growth, raze-and-rebuild activity, store maintenance and improvements, land acquisition, and continued implementation of various corporate infrastructure projects

The Company does not provide a projected range of all-in fuel margin, Adjusted EBITDA, or Net income. However, for modeling purposes only, if all-in fuel margin approximates 21.0 cpg, management would expect the business to generate net income of $238 million and Adjusted EBITDA of about $630 million using the midpoint of the provided guided ranges above.

Notes

Average Per Store Month (APSM) metric includes all stores open through the date of the calculation, including stores acquired during the period.

Same store sales (SSS) metric includes aggregated individual store results for all stores open throughout both periods presented. For all periods presented, the store must have been open for the entire calendar year to be included in the comparison. Remodeled stores that remained open or were closed for just a very brief time (less than a month) during the period being compared remain in the same store sales calculation. If a store is replaced either at the same location (raze-and-rebuild) or relocated to a new location, it will be excluded from the calculation during the period it is out of service. Newly constructed stores do not enter the calculation until they are open for each full calendar year for the periods being compared (open by January 1, 2020 for the stores being compared in the 2021 versus 2020 comparison). Acquired stores are not included in the calculation of same store sales for the first 12 months after the acquisition. When prior period same store sales volumes or sales are presented, they have not been revised for current year activity for raze-and-rebuilds and asset dispositions.

QuickChek uses a weekly retail calendar where each quarter has 13 weeks. For the Q4 2021 period, the QuickChek results cover the period from October 2, 2021 to December 31, 2021. For the year-to-date period, the QuickChek results cover the period from January 29, 2021 (the date of acquisition) to December 31, 2021. The difference in timing of the month ends is immaterial to the overall consolidated results.

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

The following table sets forth the Company’s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. EBITDA means net income (loss) plus net interest expense, plus income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA adds back (i) other non-cash items (e.g., impairment of properties and accretion of asset retirement obligations) and (ii) other items that management does not consider to be meaningful in assessing our operating performance (e.g., (income) from discontinued operations, net settlement proceeds, (gain) loss on sale of assets, loss on early debt extinguishment, transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, and other non-operating (income) expense). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures that are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

We use Adjusted EBITDA in our operational and financial decision-making, believing that the measure is useful to eliminate certain items in order to focus on what we deem to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance and our ability to generate cash flow from operations. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by many of our investors, research analysts, investment bankers, and lenders to assess our operating performance. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it allows understanding of a key measure that we evaluate internally when making operating and strategic decisions, preparing our annual plan, and evaluating our overall performance. However, non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be prepared differently by us than by other companies using similarly titled non-GAAP measures.

The reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,						Twelve Months Ended December 31,
(Millions of dollars)		2021			2020			2021			2020
Net income	$	108.8		$	61.0		$	396.9		$	386.1
Income tax expense (benefit)		32.1			19.7			125.0			123.0
Interest expense, net of interest income		20.2			12.5			82.3			50.2

Required Non-GAAP Reconciliation

An itemized reconciliation between Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA that were provided for modeling purposes only for the full year 2022 is as follows:

(Millions of dollars)	Calendar Year 2022
Net Income	$238
Income taxes	$79
Interest expense, net of interest income	$80
Depreciation and amortization	$230
Other operating and nonoperating, net	$3
Adjusted EBITDA	$630

For purposes of this reconciliation, the midpoint of a range for each reconciling item was used, and therefore actual results for each of these reconciling items is expected to be higher or lower than the amounts shown above. The size of the ranges varies based on the individual reconciling item and assumptions made.

The Company does not provide a projected range of all-in fuel margin, Adjusted EBITDA, or Net income. However, for modeling purposes only, if all-in fuel margin approximates 21.0 cpg, management would expect the business to generate net income of $238 million and Adjusted EBITDA of about $630 million using the midpoint of the provided guided ranges in this release.
