Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. General

ARKO Corp. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation whose common stock, par value ~~$0.0001~~$0.0001 per share (“common stock”) and publicly-traded warrants ~~were registered to trade~~are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market ~~on December 22, 2020~~(“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “ARKO” and ~~commenced trading on December 23, 2020. The Company’s common stock is also listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.~~

On September 8, 2020, the Company (a newly-formed company) entered into a business combination agreement, as amended on November 18, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), together with Arko Holdings Ltd. (“Arko Holdings”), Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation and special purpose acquisition company (“Haymaker”), and additional newly-formed wholly owned subsidiaries of Haymaker that were formed in order to enable the consummation of the merger transaction (the “Merger Transaction”). Arko Holdings is a corporation incorporated in Israel, whose securities were listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange prior to the consummation of the Merger Transaction and which held a majority of the outstanding equity of GPM Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GPM”). On December 22, 2020, the Merger Transaction was consummated (the “Merger Closing Date”), following which Arko Holdings and Haymaker became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.“ARKOW,” respectively.

The Company’s operations are primarily performed by its subsidiary, GPM ~~which became~~Investments, LLC (“GPM”), a ~~wholly owned subsidiary, indirectly, upon consummation of the Merger Transaction.~~Delaware limited liability company. GPM is engaged directly and through fully owned and controlled subsidiaries (directly or indirectly) in retail activity, which includes the operations of a chain of convenience stores, most of which include adjacent gas stations, ~~and~~ in wholesale activity, which includes the supply of fuel to gas stations operated by third ~~parties.~~parties, and following the closing of the Quarles Acquisition (as defined in Note 3) on July 22, 2022, 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, 2021,~~September 30, 2022, GPM’s activity included the self-operation of ~~1,324~~1,383 sites, ~~and~~ the supply of fuel to ~~1,625~~1,670 gas stations operated by ~~external operators (dealers),~~independent dealers and the operation of 183 cardlock locations, throughout 33 states and the District of Columbia in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern, Northeastern, Southeastern and Southwestern United States (“~~US”~~U.S.”).

The Company has ~~three reporting~~four reportable segments: retail, wholesale, fleet fueling, and GPMP. Refer to Note 911 below for further information with respect to the segments.

~~Accounting Treatment of the Merger Transaction~~

The Merger Transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Haymaker was treated as the “acquired” company and Arko Holdings was considered the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes. The Merger Transaction was treated as the equivalent of Arko Holdings’ issuing stock in exchange for the net assets of Haymaker, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Arko Holdings and Haymaker were stated at historical cost. NaN goodwill or intangible assets were recorded in connection with the Merger Transaction.

Because Arko Holdings was deemed the accounting acquirer, upon the consummation of the Merger Transaction, the historical financial statements of Arko Holdings became the historical financial statements of the combined company. As a result, the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the historical operating results of Arko Holdings prior to the Merger Closing Date and the combined results of the Company, including those of Haymaker, following the Merger Closing Date. Additionally, the Company’s equity structure has been reclassified in all comparative periods up to the Merger Closing Date to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued to Arko Holdings’ stockholders in connection with the recapitalization transaction. As such, the share counts, corresponding common stock amounts and earnings per share related to Arko Holdings’ common stock prior to the Merger Transaction have been retroactively reclassified as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

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 (“GAAP”).

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) as of ~~March 31, 2021~~September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ~~periods~~ ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020 (“interim financial statements”)~~ are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with 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

~~Table of Contents~~

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 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, ~~2020~~2021 (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 in which each period ends. The Company earns a disproportionate amount of its annual operating income in the second and third quarters as a result of the climate and seasonal buying patterns of its customers. Inclement weather, especially in the Midwest and Northeast regions of the USU.S. during the winter months, can negatively impact financial results.

Use of Estimates

In the preparation of interim condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual

Table of Contents

results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; impairment of goodwill, intangible, right-of-use and ~~fixed assets; useful lives of~~ 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 ~~for~~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 (i.e. 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 are recorded as a part of other current assets and other non-current assets and are amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of transfer of the goods or services to which such costs relate. 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 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.

Fuel revenue and fuel ~~costs~~cost of revenue included fuel taxes of ~~$222.5~~$274.8 million, $275.9 million, $750.3 million and ~~$115.1~~$761.1 million for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively.

Refer to Note 911 for disclosure of the revenue disaggregated by segment and product line, as well as a description of the reportable segment operations.

~~New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During 2021~~Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

~~Simplifying~~The Company accounts for financial derivative instruments at fair value and applies hedge accounting rules when applicable. The Company utilizes ultra-low sulfur diesel-based derivative instruments to offset changes in the ~~Accounting~~fair value of its firm commitment to purchase diesel fuel which is ultimately delivered to certain of its fleet fueling sites.

These instruments are accounted for ~~Income Taxes –~~ ~~In December 2019,~~as fair value hedges of a firm commitment upon proper qualification. The Company assesses at inception and on an ongoing basis whether a derivative instrument accounted for as a hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the ~~FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying~~fair value of the ~~Accounting for Income Taxes.~~hedged item (that is, the unrecognized firm commitment). The ~~amendments~~gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized currently in ~~this ASU simplify~~earnings within fuel costs in the ~~accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions~~condensed consolidated statement of operations, in the period that the changes in fair value occur. The gain or loss (that is, the change in fair value) on the hedged item attributable to the ~~general principles~~hedged risk designated as being hedged adjusts the carrying amount of the related hedged item and is simultaneously recognized in ~~ASC 740. The amendments also improve consistent application~~earnings within fuel costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, as an adjustment to the carrying amount of that hedged item (that is, the Company recognizes as assets or liabilities the changes in the fair value of the firm commitment that are attributable to the risk being hedged and ~~simplify GAAP~~that arise while the hedge of the firm commitment exists). When the underlying assets are purchased in accordance with the terms of the hedged firm commitment, the initial cost basis in the acquired assets is adjusted by the amount of the firm commitment that was recognized as an asset or liability under the fair value hedging model. See Note 6 and Note 10 for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance, such as the accounting for a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. This standard is effective January 1, 2021 for the Company. The adoption of this guidance had no material impact onfurther information about the Company’s ~~consolidated financial statements.~~derivatives.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year equity amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements ~~Not Yet Adopted~~

Reference Rate Reform – In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This standard included optional guidance for a limited period of time to help ease the burden in accounting for the effects of reference rate reform. The new standard is effective for all entities through December 31, 2022. The Company has not needed to implement this optional guidance.

3. Acquisitions

Quarles Acquisition

On July 22, 2022, the Company consummated its acquisition of certain assets (the “Quarles Acquisition”) from Quarles Petroleum, Incorporated (“Quarles”), including:

•

121 proprietary Quarles-branded cardlock sites and management of 63 third-party cardlock sites for fleet fueling operations;

•

46 independent dealer locations, including certain lessee-dealer sites; and

•

a small transportation fleet.

The total consideration for the Quarles Acquisition as set forth in the purchase agreement was approximately $170 million plus the value of inventory on the closing date. The Company financed $40 million of the purchase price with the Capital One Line of Credit (as defined in Note 12 to the annual financial statements) and Oak Street Real Estate Capital Net Lease Property Fund, LP (“Oak Street”), under the standby real estate purchase, designation and lease program agreement with Oak Street, dated as of May 31, 2021 (as amended, the “Program Agreement”), paid approximately $129.3 million of the consideration for fee simple ownership in 39 sites. At the closing, pursuant to the Program Agreement, the Company amended one of its master leases with Oak Street to add the sites Oak Street acquired in the transaction under customary lease terms. For accounting purposes, the transaction with Oak Street was treated as a sale-leaseback, and the Company recorded right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $81.8 million in connection therewith.

The details of the Quarles Acquisition were as follows:

The initial accounting treatment of the Quarles Acquisition reflected in these interim financial statements is ~~examining~~provisional as the Company has not yet finalized the initial accounting treatment of the business combination, and in this regard, has not finalized the valuation of some of the assets and liabilities acquired and the goodwill resulting from the Quarles Acquisition, mainly due to the limited period of time between the Quarles Acquisition closing date and the date of these interim financial statements. Therefore, some of the financial information presented with respect to the Quarles Acquisition in these interim financial statements remains subject to change.

The Company included identifiable tangible assets and identifiable liabilities at their fair value based on the information available to the Company’s management on the Quarles Acquisition closing date, including, among other things, an evaluation performed by external consultants for this purpose.

The Company’s preliminary accounting treatment of this business combination resulted in no goodwill being recorded.

Acquisition-related costs amounting to approximately $0.9 million and $1.6 million have been excluded from the consideration transferred and have been recognized as an expense within the other expenses, net line in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. No acquisition-related costs were recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s peer group’s stock price. The volatilities are estimated for a period of time equal to the expected term of the related option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is determined by considering the contractual terms, vesting schedule and expectations of future employee behavior. ~~All of the stock option awards were out of money as of March 31, 2021.~~

8.10. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments, ~~and restricted cash with respect to bonds,~~ trade receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated their carrying values as of ~~March 31, 2021~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (Level 1 fair value measurement), the fair value of the Senior Notes was estimated at approximately $351 million and $436 million, respectively, compared to a gross carrying value of $450 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The fair value of the other long-term debt approximated their carrying values as of ~~March 31, 2021~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 due to the frequency with which interest rates are reset based on changes in prevailing interest rates.

~~The Bonds (Series C) were presented in the consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost.~~ The fair value of ~~the Bonds (Series C)~~fuel futures contracts was ~~$80.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The fair value measurements were classified as Level 1.~~determined using NYMEX quoted values.

9.11. Segment Reporting

The reportable segments were determined based on information reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for operational decision-making purposes and the segment information is prepared on the same basis that our chief operating decision maker reviews such financial information. The Company’s ~~reporting~~reportable segments are ~~the~~ retail, ~~segment, the~~ wholesale, ~~segment~~fleet fueling and ~~the GPMP segment.~~GPMP. The Company defines segment earnings as operating income.

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 Company operated convenience stores, the Company owns the merchandise and fuel inventory and employs personnel to manage the store.

The wholesale segment supplies fuel to independent 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 independent ~~outside operators.~~dealers.

Table of Contents

The fleet fueling segment, which was added to the Company’s business upon the closing of the Quarles Acquisition on July 22, 2022, 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 GPM Petroleum LP (“GPMP”) and primarily includes the sale and supply of fuel to GPM and its subsidiaries ~~selling~~that sell fuel ~~(both~~ in the ~~Retail~~retail and ~~Wholesale segments)~~wholesale segments at GPMP’s cost of fuel ~~(currently including~~(including taxes and ~~certain~~ transportation) plus a fixed margin ~~(4.5~~(currently 5.0 cents per gallon), a fixed fee charged to sites in the fleet fueling segment (currently 5.0 cents per gallon ~~prior to October 1, 2020 and effective October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021, 5.0 cents per gallon)~~sold), and the supply of fuel to a small number of independent ~~outside operators~~dealers and bulk and spot purchasers.

The “All Other” segment includes the results of non-reportable segments which do not meet both quantitative and qualitive criteria as defined under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company revised the composition of the “All Other” segment in the third quarter of 2022 in conjunction with the closing of the Quarles Acquisition.

The majority of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, net other expenses, net interest and other ~~financing~~financial expenses, ~~and~~ income taxes ~~are not allocated to the segments, as well as~~and minor other income items including intercompany operating ~~leases.~~leases are not allocated to the segments.

~~Table of Contents~~

With the exception of goodwill, assets and liabilities relevant to the reportable segments are not assigned to any particular segment, but rather, managed at the consolidated level. All reportable segment revenues were generated from sites within the USUnited States and substantially all of the Company’s assets were within the ~~US.~~United States.

Inter-segment transactions primarily included the distribution of fuel by GPMP to GPM and its subsidiaries ~~selling~~that sell fuel (both in the ~~Retail~~retail and ~~Wholesale~~wholesale segments). and charges by GPMP to sites that sell fuel in the fleet fueling segment. The effect of these inter-segment transactions was eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~10.~~12. Income Taxes

Internal Entity Realignment and Streamlining

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company, in order to streamline business operations and provide long term synergies and other cost savings, approved an internal restructuring of certain direct and indirect subsidiaries. The internal restructuring involves a series of steps, the majority of which were completed by the end of the third quarter of 2022. As part of the internal restructuring plan, the tax status of certain subsidiaries changed from nontaxable to taxable. Accordingly, the recognition and derecognition of certain deferred taxes are reflected in the continuing operations at the date the change in tax status occurs. The Company recorded a one-time non-cash tax expense in the amount of approximately $8.7 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 in connection with the internal restructuring. The recording of this deferred tax expense aligned the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the time of the change in status.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Liabilities and Contingencies

The Company is subject to certain federal and state environmental laws and regulations associated with ~~convenience store~~ sites ~~where~~at which it stores and sells fuel and other fuel ~~products.~~products, as well as at owned and leased locations leased or subleased to independent dealers. As of ~~March 31, 2021~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, environmental obligations totaled ~~$13.3~~$12.5 million and ~~$13.5~~$12.9 million, respectively. These amounts were recorded as other current and non-current liabilities in 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 ~~whether the~~changes in federal and/or state ~~regulations in which the Company operates, and which deal with the environment, will be amended.~~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 environmental loss mitigation. Estimated amounts that will be recovered from its insurance policies and various state funds for the exposures totaled ~~$5.4 million and $5.6~~$4.9 million as of ~~March 31, 2021~~both September 30, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020, respectively,~~2021, and were recorded as other current and non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Purchase Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into various purchase agreements related to its fuel supply, which include varying volume commitments. In light of the reduction in the number of gallons sold since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain of the Company’s principal fuel suppliers have waived the requirements under their agreements with the Company to purchase minimum quantities of gallons, including such requirements under the incentive agreements from such suppliers. As of September 30, 2022, the reduction in gallons sold did not affect the Company’s compliance with its commitments under the agreements with its principal suppliers.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Table of Contents

As part of the fuel operations at its operated convenience stores, at most of the ~~consignment dealer locations and at most of the~~ other owned and leased locations leased to independent dealers, and certain other independent dealer locations and proprietary cardlock locations, there are underground storage tanks for which the Company is responsible. The future cost to remove an underground storage tank is recognized over the estimated remaining useful life of the underground storage tank or 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 an underground storage tank is installed. The estimated liability is based upon historical experience in removing underground 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 ~~$53.6~~$64.1 million and ~~$53.2~~$58.4 million at ~~March 31, 2021~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The current portion of the asset retirement obligation is included in other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

~~Purchase Commitments~~Program Agreement

In April 2022, GPM, together with an affiliate of Oak Street, entered into an amendment to the ~~ordinary course~~Program Agreement, which extended the term of ~~business,~~the Program Agreement from one to two years and provides for up to $1.15 billion of capacity for the acquisition of convenience store and gas station real property by Oak Street, subject to the conditions contained in the Program Agreement, during the second year of the term, in addition to the approximately $130 million of funding utilized in July 2022 as described in Note 3, which is inclusive of purchase agreements that the Company ~~has entered~~or an affiliate thereof may from time to time enter into ~~various purchase agreements related~~ to ~~its fuel supply, which include varying volume commitments. In light~~acquire convenience stores and gas station real property from third-parties. The term of the reduction in the number of gallons sold due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s principal fuel suppliers have temporarily suspended (for periods that vary among the different suppliers) the requirements under their agreements with the Company to purchase minimum quantities of gallons, including such requirements under the incentive agreements from such suppliers. As of March 31, 2021, the reduction in gallons sold did not affect the Company’s compliance with its commitments under the agreements with its principal suppliers.Program Agreement, as amended, extends through May 2, 2023.

Legal Matters

~~Table of Contents~~

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 possible 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.

~~11.~~14. Related Party Transactions

There have been no material changes to the description of related party transactions as set forth in the annual financial statements.

~~12. Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements~~

~~As of the Merger Closing Date, there were 17.3 million warrants to purchase Haymaker common stock outstanding, consisting of 13.3 million public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and 4~~ million private warrants (the “Private Warrants”). Pursuant to the warrant agreement as amended on the Merger Closing Date, each whole warrant to purchase one share of Haymaker common stock became a warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock. In addition, following the Merger Closing Date, Haymaker’s founders 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 “Deferred Shares”).

The Company has adjusted its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 in order to reflect its Public Warrants, Private Warrants and Deferred Shares as liability instruments measured at fair value rather than as equity instruments. The Company has evaluated the materiality of this adjustment and concluded it was not material to any of the prior periods presented and has elected to revise the previously issued financial statements contained within these interim financial statements for the periods impacted to correct the effect of this immaterial adjustment. ~~As a result, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 included as comparative figures within these interim financial statements was revised as follows:~~

~~13. Significant Events~~

~~COVID-19 – Coronavirus~~

An outbreak of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) began in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread throughout the world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. Throughout the pandemic, the convenience stores and independent outside operations have continued to operate and have remained open to the public because convenience store operations and gas stations have been deemed an essential business by numerous federal and state authorities, including the US Department of Homeland Security, and therefore are exempt from many of the closure orders that were, or are currently, imposed on US businesses.

~~Potential Acquisition~~

On ~~March 8, 2021~~, the Company entered into an agreement with third parties for the acquisition of approximately 60 self-operated convenience stores and gas stations located in the Midwestern US for consideration of approximately $102 million plus the value of inventory and cash in stores on the closing date. The Company intends to finance a portion of the consideration from its own sources and two US real estate funds that are unrelated third parties (the “Real Estate Funds”) will pay the purchase agreement for the seller’s real estate as described below.

At the closing of the transaction, (i) the Company will purchase and assume, among other things, certain vendor agreements, fee simple ownership in some of the sites, equipment in the sites, inventory and goodwill with regard to the acquired activity; and (ii) according to agreements between the Company and each of the Real Estate Funds, in consideration of approximately $92 million, the Real Estate Funds will purchase the fee simple ownership in most of the sites. Such sites will be leased to the Company under customary lease terms. In addition, one of the Real Estate Funds will grant the Company an option to purchase the fee simple ownership in 26 of the sites following an initial ~~four-year~~ ~~period for consideration as was agreed between the parties.~~

~~The purchase agreement includes the sellers’ undertaking with regard to indemnification subject to certain scope, time and amounts limitations as determined in the purchase agreement.~~

The closing of the transaction is subject to fulfillment of conditions precedent which includes, among other things, obtaining the approvals required by law, including permits and licenses relating to the acquired activity. Subject to the above, the closing is planned to occur during the second quarter of 2021. There is no certainty that the transaction will close.

~~14. Subsequent Events~~

~~Amendment to Credit Facilities~~

On April 30, 2021, GPM entered into a sixth amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to the Ares Credit Agreement. The Sixth Amendment amended the Ares Credit Agreement as follows: the definition of Consolidated EBITDA was amended to increase the amount of fees, expenses and other charges related to Permitted Acquisitions (as defined in the Ares Credit Agreement) that can be added back when calculating Consolidated EBITDA; the definition of Consolidated Total Debt was amended to increase the amount of GPM’s cash and cash equivalents on hand deducted from GPM’s indebtedness when calculating Consolidated Total Debt; various changes were made to facilitate potential new equipment and real estate financings from M&T Bank; certain permitted debt baskets were increased to allow GPM to have more flexibility in its operations and the financial statement and budget delivery requirements were updated primarily to reflect that GPM currently owns 99.71% of GPMP.

On April 30, 2021, GPM entered into a fourth amendment to its credit agreement, dated February 28, 2020, by and among GPM, and certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers and guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto and PNC Bank, National Association, as lender and as agent (the “PNC Credit Agreement”). This amendment effected substantially similar changes to the PNC Credit Agreement as those made by the Sixth Amendment to the Ares Credit Agreement described above.

~~Standby Real Estate Program~~

On May 3, 2021, GPM entered into a standby real estate purchase, designation and lease program agreement (the “Program Agreement”) with Oak Street Real Estate Capital Net Lease Property Fund, LP (“Oak Street”). Pursuant to the Program Agreement, Oak Street has agreed to purchase, subject to the conditions contained in the Program Agreement, up to $1.0 billion of convenience store and gas station real property, including in connection with purchase agreements that GPM or an affiliate thereof, may from time to time enter into to acquire convenience stores and gas stations from third parties (each, a “Property”). Pursuant to the Program Agreement, upon any acquisition of a Property by Oak Street, or an affiliate thereof, GPM, or an affiliate thereof, would enter into a triple-net lease agreement with Oak Street or such affiliate pursuant to which GPM or such affiliate would lease such Property from Oak Street or such affiliate based upon commercial terms contained in the Program Agreement. The purchase price for any Property would similarly be subject to commercial terms agreed upon by GPM and Oak Street in the Program Agreement. The Program Agreement has a one-year term, during which GPM may not sell or designate any Property pursuant to a sale-leaseback or similar transaction without first offering such Property to Oak Street in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Program Agreement. Certain Properties specified by GPM are not subject to the foregoing right of first offer, and the Program Agreement does not obligate GPM to sell any Property, or acquire any property from a third party for purposes of its sale, to Oak Street, unless GPM elects, in its sole discretion, to enter into a sale leaseback (or similar transaction) governed by the Program Agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

You should read this discussion together with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, related notes, and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q together with our audited consolidated financial statements, related notes, and other information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 (the “Form 10-K”). The following discussion contains assumptions, estimates and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under “Risk Factors,” in Part I, Item 1A of the Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and as described from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

ARKO Corp. was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on August 26, 2020 for the purpose of facilitating the business combination, which we refer to as the Merger Transaction, of Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“Haymaker”), and Arko Holdings Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel, which we refer to as Arko Holdings.2020. Our shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“common stock”), and publicly-traded warrants ~~were registered to trade~~are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market ~~on December 22, 2020~~(“Nasdaq”) and ~~commenced trading on December 23, 2020,~~trade under the symbols “ARKO” and our common stock is dual-listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”). The main activity of Arko Holdings prior to the foregoing business combination was its holding, through its subsidiaries, of controlling rights in“ARKOW,” respectively. GPM Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which we refer to as GPM, ~~which~~ is our operating entity and ~~upon the consummation of the Merger Transaction became~~ our indirect wholly owned subsidiary. Arko Holdings’ Bonds (Series C) had traded on the TASE since June 28, 2016 and were fully redeemed on March 30, 2021; consequently, Arko Holdings is no longer a reporting entity under Israeli securities laws.

Based in Richmond, VA, we are a leading independent convenience store operator and, as of ~~March 31, 2021,~~September 30, 2022, we were the ~~seventh~~sixth largest convenience store chain in the United States (“U.S.”) ranked by store count, operating ~~1,324~~1,383 retail convenience stores. As of ~~March 31, 2021,~~September 30, 2022, we operated the stores under 17 19regional store brands including 1-Stop, Admiral, Apple Market®, BreadBox, ExpressStop, E-Z Mart®, fas mart®, fastmarket®, Handy Mart, Jiffi Stop®, Jiffy Stop, Li’l Cricket, Next Door Store®, Roadrunner Markets, Rstore, Scotchman®, shore stop®, Town Star, Village Pantry® and Young’s. As of ~~March 31, 2021,~~September 30, 2022, we also supplied fuel to ~~1,625 dealer-operated gas stations.~~1,670 independent dealers and operated 183 cardlock locations (unstaffed fueling locations) acquired in the Quarles Acquisition (as defined below), which closed on July 22, 2022. We are well diversified geographically and as of ~~March 31, 2021,~~September 30, 2022, operated across 33 states and the District of Columbia in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern, Northeastern, Southeastern and Southwestern United States.

WeOur primary business is as a convenience store operator. As such, we derive a significant portion of our revenue from the retail sale of fuel and the products offered in our stores, ~~as well as the wholesale distribution~~resulting in our retail stores generating a large proportion of ~~fuel.~~our profitability. Our retail stores offer 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 over ~~250~~400 company-operated stores. The foodservice category includes hot and fresh foods, deli, fried chicken, bakery, pizza, roller grill items and other prepared foods. In addition, we operate over 90 branded quick service restaurants consisting of major national brands. We are currently continuing to work on expanding our pizza offerings through Sbarro, the Original New York Pizza, and other potential opportunities that we hope to introduce in the near future. Year to date, we have opened 13 Sbarro locations in 2022 and plan to open an additional five locations this quarter. We offer a value food menu consisting of items such as hot dogs and chicken sandwiches. ~~In addition, we operate over 70 branded quick service restaurants consisting of major national brands.~~ Additionally, we provide a number of traditional convenience store services that generate additional income, 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 ~~100~~90 of our locations.

We also derive revenue from the wholesale distribution of fuel and the sale of fuel at cardlock locations, and we earn commissions from the sales of fuel using proprietary fuel cards that provide customers access to a nationwide network of fueling sites. We believe these revenues result in stable, ratable cash flows which can quickly be deployed to pursue accretive acquisitions and investments in our retail stores. Additionally, these locations contribute to our overall size, which leads to economies of scale with our fuel and merchandise vendors.

Our reportable segments are described below.

Retail Segment

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 our convenience stores, we own the merchandise and fuel inventory and employ personnel to manage the store.

Wholesale Segment

The wholesale segment supplies fuel to independent dealers ~~sub-wholesalers and bulk purchasers,~~ on either a cost plus or consignment 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

Table of Contents

share a portion of the gross profit earned from the sale of fuel by the consignment ~~operators.~~dealers. For cost plus arrangements, we sell fuel to independent dealers and bulk purchasers on a fixed-fee basis. The sales price to the independent dealer is determined according to the terms of the relevant agreement with the independent dealer, which typically reflects our total fuel costs plus the cost of transportation, prompt pay discounts, rebates and a margin.

Fleet Fueling Segment

The Quarles Acquisition (as defined below), which closed on July 22, 2022, added fleet fueling to our business, 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.

GPMP Segment

The GPMP segment includes the operations of GPM Petroleum LP, ~~(“GPMP”),~~referred to as GPMP, which primarily sells and supplies fuel to GPM and its subsidiaries’ fuel-selling ~~subsidiaries (both~~sites in the ~~Retail~~retail and ~~Wholesale segments)~~wholesale segments at GPMP’s cost of fuel ~~(currently including~~(including taxes and ~~certain~~ transportation) plus a fixed ~~margin.~~margin and a fixed fee charged to sites in the fleet fueling segment.

Trends Impacting Our Business

We have achieved strong store growth over the last several years, primarily by implementing a highly successful acquisition strategy. From 2013 through ~~March 31, 2021,~~September 30, 2022, we completed 1821 acquisitions. AsIn July 2022, we completed our acquisition of 121 proprietary Quarles-branded cardlock sites and management of 63 third-party cardlock sites for fleet fueling operations, 46 independent dealer locations and a ~~result,~~small transportation fleet (the “Quarles Acquisition”), which comprises a complementary business from which we believe we can grow and expand the Company’s fleet fueling platform (see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Our store count has grown from 320 sites in 2011 to ~~2,949~~3,236 sites as of ~~March 31, 2021,~~September 30, 2022, of which ~~1,324~~1,383 were operated as retail convenience stores, ~~and 1,625~~1,670 were locations at which we supplied fuel to ~~independently operated fueling stations.~~independent dealers and 183 were cardlock locations. These strategic acquisitions have had, and we expect will continue to have, a significant impact on our reported results and can make period to period comparisons of results difficult. WeIn November 2021, we completed our acquisition of 36 Handy Mart retail convenience stores (the “Handy Mart Acquisition”), and in May 2021, we completed our acquisition of 60 ExpressStop retail convenience stores (collectively, the business of Empire Petroleum Partners, LLC, which business we refer to as Empire, in October 2020, which was significant and added 84 retail sites and 1,453 wholesale sites to our business (the “Empire Acquisition”“2021 Acquisitions”). ~~The Empire Acquisition was our only business acquisition in 2020.~~ With our achievement of significant size and scale, we have ~~added an additional~~enhanced our focus ofon organic growth, including implementing company-wide marketing and merchandising initiatives, which we believe will result in significant value accretion to all the assets we have acquired. ~~We believe that this complementary strategy will help further our growth through both acquisitions and organically and improve our results of operations.~~

The following table provides a history of our acquisitions, conversions and closings for the periods noted, for the retail, wholesale and ~~wholesale~~fleet fueling segments:

There has been an ongoing trend in the convenience store industry focused on increasing and improving in-store foodservice offerings, including fresh foods, quick service restaurants or proprietary food offerings. We believe consumers may be more likely to patronize convenience stores that include such new and improved food offerings, which may also lead to increased inside merchandise sales or fuel sales for such stores. ~~Although our foodservice sales have been negatively impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe this trend will reverse when the effects of the pandemic subside.~~ Our current foodservice offering, which varies by store, primarily consists of hot and fresh foods, deli, fried chicken, bakery, pizza, roller grill items and other prepared foods. ~~We offer a value food menu consisting of items such as hot dogs and chicken sandwiches.~~ We have historically relied upon a limited number of franchised quick service restaurants and in-store delis to drive customer traffic rather than other types of foodservice offerings. 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. In addition, we believe that continued investment in new technology platforms and applications to adapt to evolving consumer eating preferences, including contactless checkout, order ahead service, and delivery, will further drive growth in profitability.

Our ~~operations~~results of operation are significantly impacted by the retail fuel margins we receive on gallons sold. While we expect our same store fuel sales volumes to remain stable over time, even though they ~~were recently~~have been negatively impacted by COVID-19, and the fuel margins we realize on those sales to remain stable, these fuel margins can change rapidly as they are influenced by many factors including: the price of refined products; interruptions in supply caused by severe weather; ~~severe~~supply chain disruptions; refinery mechanical ~~failures for an extended period of time;~~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 ~~along~~ wholesale fuel cost changes through to our customers through retail price changes; however, we are not always able to do so. ~~The~~Competitive conditions primarily affect the timing of any related increase or decrease in retail ~~prices is affected by competitive conditions.~~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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, we experienced historically high fuel margins as a result of the volatile market for gasoline and diesel fuel. Depending on future market and geopolitical conditions, the supply of fuel, including diesel fuel in particular, may become constrained. We maintain terminal storage of diesel fuel for short-term supply needs.

24Additionally, the United States economy has continued to experience inflationary pressures, which reduces consumer purchasing power. If this trend continues or increases, it could impact demand and seasonal travel patterns, which could reduce future sales volumes.

~~Table of Contents~~

We also operate in a highly competitive retail convenience market that includes businesses with operations and services that are similar to those that ~~are provided by us.~~we provide. We face significant competition from other large chain operators. In particular, large convenience store chains have increased their number of locations and remodeled their existing locations in recent years, enhancing their competitive position. We believe that convenience stores managed by individual operators who offer branded or non-branded fuel are also significant competitors in 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.

Business Highlights

The Empire Acquisition contributed to the increase in our results of operations in the first quarter of 2021, primarily in the wholesale segment, as compared to the first quarter of 2020. Although the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic reduced total gallons sold thus far in 2021 as compared to 2020, higher fuel margins compared to the same period in 2020 resulted in improved results, partly due to less competitive pricing pressure on fuel. Increased merchandise contribution and fuel contribution at same stores combined with an increase in ~~other revenues also~~fuel contribution in our wholesale segment positively impacted our results of operations during the third quarter of 2022. In addition, the Quarles Acquisition and the Handy Mart Acquisition contributed to the improvement in our results of operations for the third quarter of 2022, as compared to the third quarter of 2021. Store operating expenses increased in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher personnel costs and credit card fees. General and administrative expenses also increased in ~~2021,~~the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily as a result of expenses associated with the Quarles Acquisition, wage increases and share-based compensation expense.

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Throughout the pandemic, our locations have continued to ~~support~~operate and have remained open to the ~~Empire Acquisition.~~public because convenience store operations and gas stations have been

Table of Contents

deemed essential businesses by numerous federal and state authorities, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and therefore were exempt from many of the closure orders that were imposed on other U.S. businesses.

The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced the frequency of customer visits and the number of gallons sold at our sites, however, we have seen increases in fuel margin and merchandise basket which more than offset this reduction. Additionally, our corporate offices transitioned primarily to remote work, and we believe this has allowed us to maintain or increase productivity since March 2020 while expanding the hiring universe for corporate roles nationwide. While we have seen shortages in labor and supply chain disruptions that have increased our operating costs, we have addressed these shortages and disruptions through several hiring initiatives and leveraging our strong partnerships with our suppliers. There continues to be a high level of uncertainty relating to how the pandemic will evolve, and how governments and consumers will react. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, a resumption of high levels of infection and hospitalization, new variants of the virus, the resulting impact on our employees, customers, suppliers, and vendors, supply chain disruptions and the remedial actions and any stimulus measures adopted by federal, state, and local governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions are impacted. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the future impact at this time.

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 improved climate and seasonal buying patterns of our customers. Inclement weather, especially in the Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States during the winter months, can negatively impact our financial results.

Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~

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 following discussion should be read in conjunction with such condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes.

~~COVID-19~~

An outbreak of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) began in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread throughout the world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. Throughout the pandemic, our convenience stores and independent outside operations have continued to operate and have remained open to the public because convenience store operations and gas stations have been deemed an essential business by numerous federal and state authorities, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and therefore are exempt from many of the closure orders that were, or are currently, imposed on U.S. businesses.

The COVID-19 pandemic has generally impacted our results of operations positively, principally due to the significant increase in fuel margin, which more than offset a reduction in the number of gallons sold at gas stations as a result of the pandemic. Since the beginning of the first quarter of 2021, we have seen an increase in fuel volume as vaccinations have become available and COVID-19 cases have decreased in many areas. Businesses have continued to re-open, and customer traffic has increased.

Consolidated Results

The Merger Transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Haymaker was treated as the “acquired” company and Arko Holdings was considered the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes. Because Arko Holdings was deemed the accounting acquirer, upon the consummation of the Merger Transaction, the historical financial statements of Arko Holdings became the historical financial statements of the combined company. As a result, the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and discussed herein reflect the historical operating results of Arko Holdings prior to December 22, 2020, which was the date on which the Merger Transaction closed (the “Merger Closing Date”) and our combined results, including those of Haymaker, following the Merger Closing Date.

Retail Revenues

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, fuel revenue increased by $808.0 million, or 36.8%, compared to the first three quarters of 2021. The increase in fuel revenue was attributable to a $1.14 per gallon increase in the average retail price of fuel in the first three quarters of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, which was offset by a decrease in gallons sold at same stores of approximately 8.0%, or 59.8 million gallons, primarily due to managing both volume and margin to optimize overall fuel margin dollars. Additionally, the 2021 Acquisitions contributed an incremental 54.5 million gallons sold, or $220.6 million in fuel revenue.

In addition, there was a decrease in merchandise revenue from underperforming retail stores that were closed or converted to independent dealers.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, other revenues, net increased by $0.9 million, or 1.9%, compared to the first three quarters of 2021, primarily related to an increase in income from gaming machines and additional revenue from the 2021 Acquisitions, which were partially offset by lower lottery commissions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, fuel margin increased compared to the same period in 2021, primarily related to incremental fuel profit from the 2021 Acquisitions of approximately $18.4 million and an increase in same store fuel profit of $36.1 million (excluding intercompany charges by GPMP). Fuel margin per gallon at same stores for the first three quarters of 2022 was 42.1 cents per gallon, as compared to 33.9 cents per gallon for the first three quarters of 2021.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, merchandise contribution increased $24.4 million, or 6.9%, compared to the same period in 2021, and merchandise margin increased to 30.4% as compared to 29.0% in the prior period. The increase was due to $18.7 million in incremental merchandise contribution from the 2021 Acquisitions and an increase in merchandise contribution at same stores of $9.9 million. Merchandise contribution at same stores increased in the first three quarters of 2022 primarily due to higher contribution from packaged beverages, center-store items, beer and wine, other tobacco products and franchises which was

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

We disclose ~~non-GAAP~~certain measures on a “same store basis,” which ~~exclude~~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 ~~has~~had a full quarter of activity in the prior year. We believe that this information provides greater comparability regarding our ongoing operating performance. ~~These measures~~Neither this measure nor those described below should ~~not~~ be considered an alternative to measurements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) ~~and are non-GAAP financial measures.~~.

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 costs, other non-cash items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges. ~~None~~Each of EBITDA orand Adjusted EBITDA ~~are presented in accordance with GAAP and are~~is a non-GAAP financial ~~measures.~~measure.

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 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), cash flows from operating activities,~~ or any other ~~income or cash flow statement data.~~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 GAAP rent expense adjustment can vary depending on the terms of our lease portfolio, which has been impacted by our recent acquisitions. For newer leases, our rent expense recognized typically exceeds our cash rent payments, while 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 ~~for~~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. This 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 ~~borrowings~~ and ~~equity contributions,~~borrowings, 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, depending on market conditions, we will from time to time consider opportunities to repay, redeem, repurchase or refinance our indebtedness. 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. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions.

In 2020, we entered into a financing agreement with Ares Capital Management (“Ares”), which allowed us to repay our outstanding long-term debt with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), and allowed us to obtain additional financing, which we used to finance acquisitions. Additionally, the Ares financing agreement has a 1% annual amortization, which aids liquidity by limiting the capital required annually to repay this debt.

In October 2020, in connection with the Empire Acquisition, we increased the availability under our Capital One Line of Credit to $500 million from $300 million, which we can seek to increase, subject to certain conditions, up to $700 million, and our line of credit with PNC Bank increased from $110 million to $140 million.

As of ~~March 31, 2021,~~September 30, 2022, we were in a strong liquidity position of approximately ~~$457~~$678 million, ~~with $205~~consisting of approximately $283 million of cash ~~including proceeds from the Merger Transaction, the issuance of preferred stock~~ and ~~cash generated from our operations, and $31.8 million of restricted investments as well as~~ approximately ~~$220~~$395 million of availability under our lines of ~~credit, notwithstanding our full cash redemption of our Bonds (Series C) on March 30, 2021. Additionally, this~~credit. This liquidity position currently provides us with adequate funding to satisfy our ~~other~~ contractual and other obligations, ~~out of~~from our ~~outstanding~~existing cash balances. As of ~~March 31, 2021,~~September 30, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under our ~~line~~$140.0 million PNC Line of ~~credit with PNC Bank and the~~Credit (as defined below), $0.9 million of unused availability under the M&T equipment line of credit, described below, and $261.0 million of unused availability under our $500.0 million Capital One Line of Credit (as defined below), which we can seek to increase up to $700.0 million, subject to obtaining additional financing commitments from current lenders or other banks, and subject to certain other terms.

In the third quarter of 2022, we fully repaid GPMP’s outstanding obligations under the GPMP PNC Term Loan (as defined below), which was ~~$101~~secured by U.S. Treasuries equal to approximately 98% of the outstanding principal amount of such term loan, by utilizing proceeds from the sale of those securities and other cash on hand, and terminated the term loan and security agreement governing such term loan.

Our board of directors (the “Board”) declared quarterly dividends of $0.02 per share of common stock: paid on March 29, 2022 to stockholders of record as of March 15, 2022, totaling approximately $2.5 million; paid on June 15, 2022 to stockholders of record as of May 31, 2022, totaling approximately $2.4 million; and paid on September 12, 2022 to stockholders of record as of August 29, 2022, totaling approximately $2.4 million. Our Board also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share of common stock, to be paid on December 6, 2022 to stockholders of record as of November 22, 2022. The amount and timing of dividends payable on our

Table of Contents

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.

In February 2022, we also announced that our Board had authorized a share repurchase program for up to an aggregate of $50 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock under the repurchase program for approximately $39.0 million, or an average share price of $8.60. 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.

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~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2021,~~September 30, 2022, cash flows provided by operating activities ~~was $11.3~~were $139.8 million compared to ~~$23.9~~$119.5 million ~~million~~ for the ~~first quarter of 2020.~~nine months ended September 30, 2021.

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~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2021,~~September 30, 2022, cash used in investing activities ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$4.1~~$40.4 million compared to the ~~first quarter of 2020.~~nine months ended September 30, 2021.

This decrease was partially offset by a $58.9 million decrease in short-term investments of which $31.8 million was used to repay long-term debt and the remainder converted into cash on hand. For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2020,~~September 30, 2021, we spent ~~$12.1~~$48.1 million for capital ~~expenditures.~~expenditures, including the purchase of certain fee properties, and a net amount of $59.2 million for the acquisition of ExpressStop (the “ExpressStop Acquisition”), net of the proceeds paid by one of the real estate funds involved in that transaction. The proceeds paid from a second real estate fund involved in the ExpressStop Acquisition of $43.6 million were included in financing activity, reflecting a net cash outflow on the ExpressStop Acquisition of $15.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities primarily consist of increases and decreases in the principal amount of our ~~line~~lines of credit and debt, ~~and~~ distributions to non-controlling interests ~~as well as~~and issuance of common and preferred ~~stock.~~stock, net of dividends paid and common stock repurchases.

For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, financing activities consisted primarily of net borrowings of $9.1 million for long-term debt, repayments of $5.0 million for financing leases, $2.1 million for additional consideration payments related to the 2020 Empire acquisition, $7.3 million for dividend payments on common stock, $4.3 million for dividend payments on the Series A redeemable preferred stock and $40.0 million for common stock repurchases. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, financing activities consisted primarily of net payments of ~~$74.8~~$63.9 million for long-term debt, including the early redemption of the Bonds (Series C), repayments of ~~$2.0~~$6.1 million for financing leases, ~~$1.6~~$4.4 million for dividend payments on the Series A redeemable preferred stock and ~~$4.7~~$4.8 million of issuance costs related to the ~~Merger Transaction.

~~GPM entered into~~On October 21, 2021, the Company completed a ~~credit agreement with Ares to provide financing in a total~~private offering of $450 million aggregate principal amount of up5.125% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”). 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 restrictive covenants that, among other things, generally limit the ability of the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries to ~~$225 million (the “Ares Credit Agreement”): an Initial Term Loan~~(i) create liens, (ii) pay dividends, acquire shares of ~~$162 million, which was drawn~~capital stock and make payments on ~~February 28, 2020,~~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 Company fully repaid this term loan in the third quarter of 2022 utilizing proceeds from the sale of these securities and other cash on hand and terminated the term loan and security agreement governing such term loan.

Financing agreements with M&T Bank

GPM has a financing arrangement with M&T Bank to provide a three-year $20.0 million line of credit for purchases of equipment, which line may be borrowed in tranches, as described below, and an aggregate principal amount of $35.0 million of real estate loan (the “M&T Term Loan”). As of September 30, 2022, approximately $0.9 million remained available under the line of credit.

Each additional equipment loan tranche will have a three-year term, payable in equal monthly payments of principal plus interest, and will accrue a fixed rate of interest equal to M&T Bank’s three-year cost of funds as of the applicable date of such tranche, plus 3.00%. The M&T Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.00%, mature in June 2026 and is payable in monthly installments based on a fifteen-year amortization schedule, with the balance of the loan payable at maturity.

Financing agreement with a syndicate of banks led by Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”)

GPMP has a ~~credit agreement for a~~ revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Capital One, National Association, ~~(the “Capital One Credit Facility”),~~ in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million (the “Capital One Line of Credit”). At GPMP’s request, the Capital One Line of Credit can be increased up to $700 million, 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. As of September 30, 2022, approximately $238.3 million was drawn on the Capital One Line of Credit, and approximately $261.0 million was available thereunder.

The Capital One Line of Credit bears interest, as elected by GPMP at: (a) LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% to 3.25% or (b) a rate per annum equal to base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.25%, which is equal to the greatest of (i) Capital One’s prime rate, (ii) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, and (iii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, subject to the definitions set in the agreement. The margin is determined according to a formula in the Capital One Line of Credit that depends on GPMP’s leverage.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures ~~About~~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. ~~We do not engage in any fuel price hedging.~~ Significant increases in fuel prices could result in significant increases in the retail price of fuel and in lower sales to consumers and independent dealers. When fuel prices rise, some of our independent 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. Prior to the Quarles Acquisition, we did not engage in any fuel price hedging. In connection with the Quarles Acquisition, we have made use

Table of Contents

of derivative commodity instruments to manage risks associated with an immaterial number of existing transactions 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. ~~For the majority of~~The Senior Notes bear a fixed interest rate, therefore, an increase or decrease in prevailing interest rates has no impact on our debt ~~interest is calculated at a fixed margin over LIBOR.~~service for the Senior Notes.

If our applicable interest rates increase by 1%, then our debt service on an annual basis would increase by approximately ~~$4.7~~$2.7 million. Interest rates on

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.

In 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. However, in March 2021, the Ice Benchmark Administration announced that it will continue to publish the USU.S. overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month and 12-month LIBOR through at least June 30, 2023. ~~There is currently no definitive information regarding~~In July 2021, the ~~future~~Alternative Reference Rates Committee formally recommended the use of ~~LIBOR or~~the CME’s Group’s forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate as a replacement ~~rate.

Such credit agreements, as amended, include mechanisms pursuant to which the underlying interest rates will be determined according to an alternative index replacing LIBOR, as customary in the market at such time. Since there is still great uncertainty in the market with respect to the elimination of LIBOR and the potential transition to a replacement rate, the impact of such changes on our future debt repayment obligations, results of operations and financial condition remains uncertain.

~~Exchange Rate Risk~~

As of March 31, 2021, and following the early redemption of the Bonds (Series C) which were denominated in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”), our exposure to unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations between the NIS and the U.S. dollar was minimal.

During the reporting period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the description of legal proceedings as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

During the reporting period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021 except as described below. We are updating or supplementing those risk factors with the following risk factors:

Our financial condition and results of operations are influenced by changes in the wholesale prices of motor fuel, which may materially adversely impact our sales, operations, customers’ financial condition and the availability of trade credit.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, fuel sales were approximately 77% of our total revenues and 48% of our combined fuel and merchandise margin. Historically, we have not carried retail fuel inventory on hand for more than nine days in the ordinary course of our business and have not engaged in hedging transactions. Our operating results are influenced by prices for motor fuel, variable retail margins and the market for such products. Crude oil and domestic wholesale motor fuel markets are volatile. General political conditions, acts of war or terrorism and instability in oil producing regions, particularly in the Middle East, Russia, Africa and South America, could significantly affect crude oil supplies and wholesale fuel prices. Significant increases and volatility in wholesale fuel prices could result in substantial increases in the retail price of motor fuel products, lower fuel gross margin per gallon, lower demand for such products and lower sales to consumers and independent dealers. This volatility makes it extremely difficult to predict the impact future wholesale cost fluctuations will have on our financial condition and results of operations. Increases in fuel prices generally compress retail fuel margin because fuel costs typically increase faster than retailers are able to pass them along to customers. In addition, when prices for motor fuel rise, some of our independent dealers may have insufficient credit to purchase motor fuel from us at their historical volumes. Furthermore, when motor fuel prices decrease, so do prompt payment incentives, which are generally calculated as a percentage of the total purchase price of the motor fuel distributed. Additionally, 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 result in higher credit card expenses. These additional fees increase operating expenses. Finally, higher prices for motor fuel may reduce our access to trade credit or worsen the terms under which such credit is available to us, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, we make use of derivative commodity instruments to manage risks associated with an immaterial number of existing transactions designed to offset changes in the price of fuel that are directly tied to firm commitments to purchase diesel fuel. As such, the Company is subject to the risk that its fuel derivative instruments will no longer qualify for hedge accounting under applicable accounting standards, which can create additional earnings volatility. Adjustments in the Company’s overall fuel hedging strategy, as well as the ability of the commodities used in fuel hedging to qualify for special hedge accounting, could continue to affect the Company’s results of operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to cost-effectively hedge against changes in diesel fuel prices.

The Company’s fuel hedging arrangements and the various potential impacts of hedge accounting on the Company’s financial position, cash flows, and results of operations are discussed in more detail under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, and in Note 2 and Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The retail sale, distribution, transport 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, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We and our facilities and operations are subject to various federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws, and regulations. These laws and regulations continue to evolve and are expected to increase in both number and complexity over time and govern not only the manner in which we conduct our operations, but also the products we sell. For example, international agreements and national, regional, and state legislation and regulatory measures that aim to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions or otherwise address climate change are currently in various stages of implementation. There are inherent risks that increasingly restrictive environmental and other regulation could materially impact our results of operations or financial condition. Most of the costs of complying with existing laws and regulations pertaining to our operations and products are embedded in the normal costs of doing business. However, it is not possible to predict with certainty the amount of additional investments in new or existing technology or facilities, or the amounts of increased operating costs to be incurred in the future, to prevent, control, reduce or eliminate releases of

Table of Contents

hazardous materials or other pollutants into the environment; remediate and restore areas damaged by prior releases of hazardous materials; or comply with new or changed environmental laws or regulations. Although these costs may be significant to the results of operations, we do not presently expect them to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or financial position. Accidental leaks and spills requiring cleanup may occur in the ordinary course of business. We may incur expenses for corrective actions or environmental investigations at various owned and previously owned facilities, leased or previously leased facilities, at third-party sites we manage, and at third-party-owned waste disposal sites used by us. An obligation may arise when operations are closed or sold or at non-company sites where company products have been handled or disposed of. Expenditures to fulfill these obligations may relate to facilities and sites where past operations followed practices and procedures that were considered acceptable at the time but may require investigative or remedial work or both to meet current or future standards.

Most of our fuel is transported by third-party transporters to our retail, independent dealer and fleet fueling sites. A portion of fuel is transported in our own trucks, instead of by third-party carriers, therefore, our operations are also subject to hazards and risks inherent in transporting motor fuel. These hazards and risks include, but are not limited to, fires, explosions, traffic accidents, spills, discharges and other releases, any of which could result in distribution difficulties and disruptions, environmental pollution, governmentally-imposed fines or clean-up obligations, personal injury or wrongful death claims and other damage to our properties and the properties of others.

The transportation of motor fuels, as well as the associated storage of such fuels at locations including convenience stores, are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to ownership and operation of underground storage tanks, the release or discharge of regulated materials into the air, water and soil, the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, the exposure of persons to regulated materials, and the health and safety of employees dedicated to such transportation and storage activities. These laws and regulations may impose numerous obligations and restrictions that are applicable to motor fuels transportation and storage and other related activities, including acquisition of, or applications for, permits, licenses, or other approvals before conducting regulated activities; restrictions on the quality and labeling of the motor fuels that may be sold; restrictions on the types, quantities and concentration of materials that may be released into the environment; required capital expenditures to comply with pollution control requirements; and imposition of substantial liabilities for pollution or non-compliance resulting from these activities. Numerous governmental authorities, such as the EPA, and analogous state agencies, have the power to monitor and enforce compliance with these laws and regulations and the permits, licenses and approvals issued under them, including fines, which can result in increased pollution control equipment costs or other actions. Failure to comply with these existing laws and regulations, or any newly adopted laws or regulations, may trigger administrative, civil or criminal enforcement measures, including the assessment of monetary penalties or other sanctions, the imposition of investigative, remedial or corrective action obligations, the imposition of additional compliance requirements on certain operations or the issuance of orders enjoining certain operations. Moreover, the trend in environmental regulation is for more restrictions and limitations on activities that may adversely affect the environment, which aligns with a growing trend in investor sentiment, and such regulation may result in increased costs of compliance.

Where releases of motor fuels or other substances or wastes have occurred, federal and state laws and regulations, and our lease agreements, require that contamination caused by such releases be assessed and remediated to meet applicable clean-up standards. Certain environmental laws impose strict, joint and several liability for costs required to clean-up and restore sites where motor fuels or other waste products have been disposed or otherwise released. The costs associated with the investigation and remediation of contamination, as well as any associated third-party claims for damages or to impose corrective action obligations, could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on us or our customers who transport motor fuels or own or operate convenience stores or other facilities where motor fuels are stored.
