• Merchandise contribution dollars for Q2 2023 increased 5.1% to $206.8 million on average unit margins of 19.7%, compared to the prior-year quarter contribution dollars of $196.7 million on unit margins of 19.8%

We remain confident in our ability to track favorably against our full-year guidance and are well-positioned to capitalize on the opportunities ahead.”

Net income and Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2023 were lower versus the prior-year period, due primarily to lower total fuel contribution and increases in store operating expenses and general and administrative expenses, which were partially offset by higher overall merchandise contribution margins and lower payment fees.

Total fuel contribution dollars of $365.8 million decreased $57.1 million, or 13.5%, in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022 due to a lower total fuel contribution margin partially offset by higher retail volumes sold during the period. Retail fuel contribution dollars increased $13.9 million, or 4.3%, to $334.7 million compared to Q2 2022 due to higher volumes and retail fuel margins. The increase was driven by 27.0 cpg retail fuel margins, a 1.9% increase compared to Q2 2022, coupled with 2.3% higher retail fuel volumes sold. PS&W margins (including RINs) decreased $71.0 million when compared to Q2 2022, reflecting the continued negative impact of timing and inventory pricing adjustments.

Total merchandise contribution increased $10.1 million, or 5.1%, to $206.8 million in Q2 2023 compared to the prior-year quarter due primarily to higher unit sales volumes. Total tobacco contribution dollars in Q2 2023 increased 3.0% and non-tobacco contribution dollars increased 7.6% compared to Q2 2022.

Total store and other operating expenses were $4.5 million higher in Q2 2023 versus Q2 2022, mainly due to employee related expenses, store maintenance costs, and inventory shrink costs partially offset by a reduction in payment fees. Store OPEX excluding payment fees and rent on an APSM basis were 3.9% higher versus Q2 2022, primarily attributable to increased employee related expenses, maintenance, and inventory shrink costs. Total SG&A costs for Q2 2023 were $7.2 million higher than Q2 2022 primarily due to higher professional fees from business improvement initiatives and employee related expenses, partially offset by lower employee incentive expenses.

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, 2022 for the stores being compared in the 2023 versus 2022 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 Q2 2023, the QuickChek results cover the period April 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 and the 2023 year-to-date period December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023. For Q2 2022, the QuickChek results cover the period April 2, 2022 to July 1, 2022 and the 2022 year-to-date period January 1, 2022 to July 1, 2022. The difference in the timing of the period 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 six months ended June 30, 2023. 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:
