Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results and outcomes could differ from those estimates and assumptions. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances could result in revised estimates and assumptions.
Significant Accounting Policies
Certain new accounting pronouncements have become effective for our financial statements during 2021,2022, but the adoption of these pronouncements did not materially impact our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

With the closing of the sixth tranche, the transactions contemplated under the Asset Exchange Agreement we entered into with Circle K on December 17, 2018 (“Asset Exchange Agreement”) were concluded. Through these transactions, we acquired 191 sites in exchange for the real property at 56 sites as well as 17 sites previously owned and operated by the Partnership. Although we no longer collect rentour merchandise was purchased from the sites divested in these transactions, we continue to distribute fuel to them on a wholesale basis.one supplier.
Effective March 25, 2020, we closed on the CST Fuel Supply Exchange. Through this transaction, we acquired 33 sites, wholesale fuel supply to 331 additional sites and $14.1 million in proceeds in exchange for our investment in CST Fuel Supply.
On April 14, 2020, we closed on the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets. Through these transactions, we expanded the retail operations of the Partnership by 169 sites (154 company operated sites and 15 commission sites) through a combination of (1) entering into new leasing arrangements with related parties as the lessee for 62 sites and (2) terminating contracts where we were previously the lessor and fuel supplier under dealer arrangements for 107 sites that then became company operated sites. As a result of closing on these transactions, we expanded our wholesale fuel distribution by 110 sites, including 53 third-party wholesale dealer contracts, and supply of the 62 newly leased sites.
COVID-19 Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus spread worldwide, including to the U.S., posing public health risks that have reached pandemic proportions.
We experienced a sharp decrease in fuel volume in mid-to-late March 2020. Although fuel volumes largely recovered during the second half of 2020 and continue to recoverCOVID Pandemic has not significantly impacted our results in 2021, we cannot predict the scope and severity with which COVID-19 will impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Sustained decreases in2022, fuel volume or erosionwas recovering throughout 2021, which impacts the comparability of margin could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow, financial position and ultimately our ability to pay distributions.between periods.

Note 2. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS FROM 7-ELEVENACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of Assets from Community Service Stations, Inc.
On April 28, 2021, certain newly formed subsidiaries of CrossAmerica, including Joe’s Kwik Marts (collectively, “Buyer”),August 24, 2022, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset"Asset Purchase Agreement”Agreement") with 7-Eleven,Community Service Stations, Inc., a Texas corporation (“7-Eleven”), pursuant to which Buyerwe have agreed to purchase certain assets related to the ownership and operations of 106 company operated sites (90 fee; 16 leased)located in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the U.S. (collectively, the “Properties”) for an aggregate purchase price of $263.0 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The assets are being sold by 7-Eleven as part of a divestiture process in connection with its previously announced acquisition of the Speedway business from MPC.
The assets being purchased by Buyer include real property and leasehold rights to the Properties, and all inventory and other assets located at the Properties, other than specific excluded assets, such as rights to intellectual property or rights with respect to “7-Eleven” or “Speedway” branding. The vast majority of the sites being purchased have been operating under the Speedway brand, and all sites are being rebranded in connection with the closing of such site pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. Buyer is also assuming certain specified liabilities associated with the assets.
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and obligations of the parties, including covenants regarding the conduct of the business at the Properties prior to the applicable closing of such Property.
Buyer is closing the acquisition of the Properties on a rolling basis of generally 10 sites per week. Through September 30, 2021, Buyer consummated the closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement of 98 PropertiesCommunity Service Stations, Inc. for a purchase price of $262.0$27.5 million includingplus working capital. The assets consist of wholesale fuel supply contracts to 39 dealer owned locations, 34 sub-wholesaler accounts and two commission locations (1 fee based and 1 lease).
The acquisition is subject to customary conditions to closing. We expect the transaction to close during the fourth quarter of 2022. It is anticipated that the acquisition will be financed with cash on hand and/or undrawn capacity under the CAPL Credit Facility.
Acquisition of Assets from 7-Eleven
In February 2022, we closed on the final three properties of our 106-site acquisition from 7-Eleven for a purchase price of $3.6 million (including inventory and other working capital,capital), of which $1.8 million will be paid on or prior to February 8, 2027.

The fair value of inventory was estimated at retail selling price less estimated costs to sell and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort.
The fair value of land was based on a market approach. The value of buildings and equipment was based on a cost approach. The buildings and equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line basis, with estimated remaining useful lives of 20 years for the buildings and five to 30 years for equipmentequipment..
The fair value of the wholesale fuel distribution rights included in intangible assets was based on an income approach. Management believes the level and timing of cash flows represent relevant market participant assumptions. The wholesale fuel distribution rights are being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately 10 years.
The fair value of goodwill represents expected synergies from combining operations, intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, and other factors. All goodwill is anticipated to be deductible for tax purposes.
Management continues to review the valuation and is confirming the result to determine the final purchase price allocation.
We funded these transactions primarily through the new JKM Credit Facility further described in Note 8 as well as undrawn capacity under our existing revolving credit facilitythe CAPL Credit Facility and cash on hand.

Note 9. INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACTS
The interest payments on our CAPL Credit Facility and JKM Credit Facility vary based on monthly changes in the one-month LIBOR and changes, if any, in the applicable margin,margins, which isare based on our leverage ratioratios under each facility as further discussed in Note 8. To hedge against interest rate volatility on our variable rate borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility, on March 26, 2020, we entered into anthree interest rate swap contract. Thecontracts in 2020 that mature on April 1, 2024. One interest rate swap contract has a notional amount of $150$150 million and a fixed rate of 0.495% and matures on April 1, 2024. On April 15, 2020, we entered into 2 additional0.495%. The other interest rate swap contracts each withhave a notional amountsamount of $75$75 million and a fixed rate of 0.38% and that mature on April 1, 2024.0.38%. All of these interest rate swap contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and are expected to be highly effective.
The fair value of these interest rate swap contracts, for which the current portion is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilitiesassets and the noncurrent portion is included in other assets, or other long-term liabilities, as applicable, was a $0.2totaled $17.3 million net asset and a $2.5$3.0 million net liability at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. See Note 12 for additional information on the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts.
We report the unrealized gains and losses on our interest rate swap contracts designated as highly effective cash flow hedges as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassify such gains and losses into earnings in the same period during which the hedged interest expense is recorded. We recognized a net realized lossgain (loss) from settlements of the interest rate swap contracts of $0.3$1.4 million and $0.2$(0.3) million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 and $0.7$1.4 million and $0.2$(0.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively.
We currently estimate that a lossgain of $1.0$11.6 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive lossAOCI into interest expense during the next 12 months; however, the actual amount that will be reclassified will vary based on changes in interest rates.

Litigation Matters
We are from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damages, environmental damages, employment-related claims and damages, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record an accrual when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we disclose matters for which management believes a material loss is at least reasonably possible. None ofWe believe that it is not reasonably possible that these proceedings, separately or in the aggregate, are expected towill have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In all instances, management has assessed the matter based on current information and made a judgment concerning its potential outcome, giving due consideration to the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought and the probability of success. Management’s judgment may prove materially inaccurate, and such judgment is made subject to the known uncertainties of litigation.
Environmental Matters
We currently own or lease retail sites where refined petroleum products are being or have been handled. These retail sites and the refined petroleum products handled thereon may be subject to federal and state environmental laws and regulations. Under such laws and regulations, we could be required to remove or remediate containerized hazardous liquids or associated generated wastes (including wastes disposed of or abandoned by prior owners or operators), to remediate contaminated property arising from the release of liquids or wastes into the environment, including contaminated groundwater, or to implement best management practices to prevent future contamination.
We maintain insurance of various types with varying levels of coverage that is considered adequate under the circumstances to cover operations and properties. The insurance policies are subject to deductibles that are considered reasonable and not excessive. In addition, we have entered into indemnification and escrow agreements with various sellers in conjunction with several of their respective acquisitions, as further described below.acquisitions. Financial responsibility for environmental remediation is negotiated in connection with each acquisition transaction. In each case, an assessment is made of potential environmental liability exposure based on available information. Based on that assessment and relevant economic and risk factors, a determination is made whether to, and the extent to which we will, assume liability for existing environmental conditions.
Environmental liabilities recorded on the balance sheet within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities totaled $5.6$7.8 million and $3.9$5.4 million at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. Indemnification assets related to third-party escrow funds, state funds or insurance recorded on the balance sheet within other current assets and other noncurrent assets totaled $3.5$5.6 million and $3.1$3.2 million at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. State funds represent probable state reimbursement amounts. Reimbursement will depend upon the continued maintenance and solvency of the state. Insurance coverage represents amounts deemed probable of reimbursement under insurance policies.

The estimates used in these reserves are based on all known facts at the time and an assessment of the ultimate remedial action outcomes. We will adjust loss accruals as further information becomes available or circumstances change. Among the many uncertainties that impact the estimates are the necessary regulatory approvals for, and potential modifications of remediation plans, the amount of data available upon initial assessment of the impact of soil or water contamination, changes in costs associated with environmental remediation services and equipment and the possibility of existing legal claims giving rise to additional claims.
Environmental liabilities related to the sites contributed to the Partnership in connection with our IPO have not been assigned to us and are still the responsibility of the Predecessor Entity. The Predecessor Entity indemnified us for any costs or expenses that we incur for environmental liabilities and third-party claims, regardless of when a claim is made, that are based on environmental conditions in existence prior to the closing of the IPO for contributed sites. As such, these environmental liabilities and indemnification assets are not recorded on the balance sheet of the Partnership.
Similarly, we have generally been indemnified with respect to known contamination at sites acquired from third parties, including our acquisition of certain assets from 7-Eleven. As such, these environmental liabilities and indemnification assets are also not recorded on the balance sheet of the Partnership.

Note 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We measure and report certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). U.S. GAAP specifies a three-level hierarchy that is used when measuring and disclosing fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation.
Transfers into or out of any hierarchy level are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which the transfers occurred. There were no transfers between any levels in 20212022 or 2020.2021.
As further discussed in Note 9, we entered into interest rate swap contracts during 2020 and remeasure the fair value of such contracts on a recurring basis each balance sheet date. We used an income approach to measure the fair value of these contracts, utilizing a forward LIBOR yield curve for the same period as the future interest rate swap settlements. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2.2 measurements.
As further discussed in Note 13, weWe have accrued for unvested phantom units and phantom performance units as a liability and adjust that liability on a recurring basis based on the market price of our common units each balance sheet date. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 1.1 measurements.
The fair value of our accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable approximated their carrying values as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair values of borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility and JKM Credit Facility approximated their carrying values as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 due to the frequency with which interest rates are reset and the consistency of the market spread.

The performance-based awardsnet proceeds received by Holdings in its sale of the Series A Preferred Interests were contributed to CAPL JKM Partners, which in turn used such net proceeds to prepay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility. As a result of this prepayment, CAPL JKM Partners does not need to make a principal payment on the Term Loan Facility until April 1, 2023. See Note 12 for additional information on the Term Loan Facility.
The preferred membership interests are weighted 65%presented in mezzanine equity on the balance sheet and the carrying amount will be accreted to the Exchange Price over time.

The payout value for both performance conditions will be interpolated on a linear basis ranging from 0% to 200%, which will then be multiplied by the initial target value to determine the value of the units to be issued. The value of the units will then be divided by the 20-day volume-weighted average closing price of our common units as of the close of trading on the day before the conversion date to determine the actual number of units to be issued.September 30, 2022.
Note 14. INCOME TAXES
As a limited partnership, we are not subject to federal and state income taxes. However, our corporate subsidiaries are subject to income taxes. Income tax attributable to our taxable income (including any dividend income from our corporate subsidiaries), which may differ significantly from income for financial statement purposes, is assessed at the individual limited partner unitholder level. We are subject to a statutory requirement that non-qualifying income, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, cannot exceed 10%10% of total gross income for the calendar year. If non-qualifying income exceeds this statutory limit, we would be taxed as a corporation. The non-qualifying income did not exceed the statutory limit in any annual period.
Certain activities that generate non-qualifying income are conducted through our wholly owned taxable corporate subsidiaries, LGWS and Joe’s Kwik Marts.subsidiaries. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized on the earnings of these subsidiaries. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates.
We recorded an income tax benefitexpense (benefit) of $1.1$3.8 million and $0.9$(1.1) million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 and $1.7$1.8 million and $3.9$(1.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, as a result of the losses incurredincome generated (losses incurred) by our corporate subsidiaries. The effective tax rate differs from the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily because only LGWS and Joe’s Kwik Marts are subject to income tax.
Note 15. NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNER UNIT
We compute income per unit using the two-class method under which any excess of distributions declared over net income shall be allocated to the partners based on their respective sharing of income as specified in the Partnership Agreement. Net income per unit applicable to limited partners is computed by dividing the limited partners’ interest in net income after deducting the IDRs, by the weighted-average number of outstanding common units.

Note 16. SEGMENT REPORTING
We conduct our business in 2two segments: 1) the Wholesalewholesale segment and 2) the Retailretail segment. The wholesale segment includes the wholesale distribution of motor fuel to lessee dealers, independent dealers, commission agents DMS (through the closing of the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets as further described under “Prior Year Acquisitions” in Note 1) and company operated retail sites. We have exclusive motor fuel distribution contracts with lessee dealers who lease the property from us. We also have exclusive distribution contracts with independent dealers to distribute motor fuel but do not collect rent from the independent dealers. Similar to lessee dealers, we had motor fuel distribution and lease agreements with DMS (through the closing of the acquisition ofThe retail and wholesale assets). The Retail segment includes the retail sale of motor fuel at retail sites operated by commission agents and the sale of convenience merchandise items and the retail sale of motor fuel at company operated sites. A commission agent site is a retail site where we retain title to the motor fuel inventory and sell it directly to our end user customers. At commission agent retail sites, we manage motor fuel inventory pricing and retain the gross profit on motor fuel sales, less a commission to the agent who operates the retail site. Similar to our Wholesalewholesale segment, we also generate revenues through leasing or subleasing real estate in our Retailretail segment.
Unallocated items consist primarily of general and administrative expenses, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, gains on dispositions and lease terminations, net, and the elimination of the Retailretail segment’s intersegment cost of revenues from motor fuel sales against the Wholesalewholesale segment’s intersegment revenues from motor fuel sales. The profit in ending inventory generated by the intersegment motor fuel sales is also eliminated. Total assets by segment are not presented as management does not currently assess performance or allocate resources based on that data.

The assets are being sold by 7-Eleven as part of a divestiture process in connection with its previously announced acquisition of the Speedway business from MPC.
The assets being purchased by Buyer include real property and leasehold rights to the Properties, and all inventory and other assets located at the Properties, other than specific excluded assets, such as rights to intellectual property or rights with respect to “7-Eleven” or “Speedway” branding. The vast majority of the sites being purchased have been operating under the Speedway brand, and all sites are being rebranded in connection with the closing of such site pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. Buyer is also assuming certain specified liabilities associated with the assets.
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and obligations of the parties, including covenants regarding the conduct of the business at the Properties prior to the applicable closing of such Property.
Buyer is closing the acquisition of the Properties on a rolling basis of generally ten sites per week. Through September 30, 2021, Buyer consummated the closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement of 98 PropertiesCommunity Service Stations, Inc. for a purchase price of $262.0$27.5 million includingplus working capital. The assets consist of wholesale fuel supply contracts to 39 dealer owned locations, 34 sub-wholesaler accounts and two commission locations (1 fee based and 1 lease).
The acquisition is subject to customary conditions to closing. We expect the transaction to close during the fourth quarter of 2022. It is anticipated that the acquisition will be financed with cash on hand and/or undrawn capacity under the CAPL Credit Facility.
Acquisition of Assets from 7-Eleven
In February 2022, we closed on the final three properties of our 106-site acquisition from 7-Eleven for a purchase price of $3.6 million (including inventory and other working capital.capital), of which $1.8 million will be paid on or prior to February 8, 2027.
We funded these transactions primarily through the new JKM Credit Facility, further described in Note 8 to the financial statements as well as undrawn capacity under our existing revolving credit facilityCAPL Credit Facility and cash on hand.
Through November 4, 2021, we closed on five additional Properties for a purchase price of $10.4 million. We anticipate closing on the final three Properties once we are in receipt of all required operational licenses and permits.
JKM Credit Facility
On July 16, 2021, CAPL JKM Partners LLC (“Borrower”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CrossAmerica, entered into a Credit Agreement, as amended on July 29, 2021 (the “JKM Credit Facility”) among Borrower, Holdings and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank.
The JKM Credit Facility provides for a $200 million senior secured credit facility, consisting of a $185 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $15 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility permits up to $7.5 million of swingline borrowings and $5.0 million in letters of credit. The interest rate applicable to loans outstanding under the JKM Credit Facility is equal to, at Borrower’s option, either (i) a base rate plus a margin (which will be determined based on Borrower’s consolidated leverage ratio) ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% per annum or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin (which will also be determined based on Borrower’s consolidated leverage ratio) ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum. Commencing on the earliest of (a) the date on which the entire amount of the Term Loan Facility has been drawn, (b) the date on which the Term Loan Facility has been terminated or reduced to zero pursuant to the JKM Credit Facility, and (c) April 16, 2022, the Term Loan Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments equal to 1.50% of the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan Facility, with the balance payable on the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility. Letters of credit are subject to a 0.125% fronting fee and other customary administrative charges. Standby letters of credit accrue a fee at a rate based on the applicable margin of LIBOR loans. In addition, beginning in October 2021, a commitment fee was charged based on the unused portion of the JKM Credit Facility at a rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum depending on Borrower’s consolidated leverage ratio. The JKM Credit Facility will mature on July 16, 2026.
The obligations under the JKM Credit Facility are guaranteed by Holdings and its subsidiaries (other than Borrower) and secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of Holdings and its subsidiaries (including Borrower). The obligations under the JKM Credit Facility are nonrecourse to CrossAmerica and its subsidiaries other than Holdings, Borrower and their respective subsidiaries.
The JKM Credit Facility contains customary events of default and covenants, including, among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, covenants that restrict the ability of Holdings and its subsidiaries to create or incur liens on assets, make investments, incur additional indebtedness, merge or consolidate and dispose of assets.
22
The JKM Credit Facility also contains financial covenants requiring Borrower to comply with, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of Borrower, commencing with Borrower’s fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021, (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 6.25 to 1.00, with step-downs to 6.00 to 1.00, 5.75 to 1.00, 5.50 to 1.00 and 5.25 to 1.00 on March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, respectively, and (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00.

As of November 4, 2021, we had $182.5 million outstanding under our Term Loan Facility.
Amendment to CAPL Credit Facility
On July 28, 2021, the Partnership entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2019 (as previously amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2019, the “CAPL Credit Facility”), among the Partnership and Lehigh Gas Wholesale Services, Inc., as borrowers, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Amendment, among other things, (i) amended certain provisions relating to unrestricted subsidiaries, (ii) increased the maximum level for the consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant to 6.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, 5.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, 5.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022, and 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022, after which the maximum level generally reverts to 4.75 to 1.00 unless in a specified acquisition period or a qualified note offering has occurred, and (iii) modified the applicable margin for borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility (as amended by the Amendment), such that borrowings bear interest, at the Partnership’s option, at either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 3.00% per annum or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 2.00% per annum (in each case depending on the Partnership’s consolidated leverage ratio).
See NotesNote 2 and 8 to the financial statements for additional information regarding this acquisitionacquisition.
Issuance of Preferred Membership Interests
On March 29, 2022, Holdings issued and sold 12,500 newly created Series A Preferred Interests to each of (i) Dunne Manning JKM LLC (the “DM Investor”), an entity affiliated with Joseph V. Topper, Jr., and (ii) John B. Reilly, III and a trust affiliated with Mr. Reilly ("the JBR Trust" and together with Mr. Reilly, the “JBR Investor;” and the related financing.JBR Investor, together with the DM Investor, the "Investors" and, each, an “Investor”) at a price of $1,000 per Series A Preferred Interest, for an aggregate purchase price of $25 million in cash (the “Preferred Issuance”), in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Preferred Issuance was consummated pursuant to an Investment Agreement, entered into as of March 29, 2022 (the “Investment Agreement”), by and among Holdings and each Investor. Following the Preferred Issuance, the Partnership indirectly retains 100% of the common interests of Holdings, and Holdings remains a consolidated subsidiary of the Partnership.
In light of the relationships between the Investors and the Partnership, the Preferred Issuance was reviewed by, and received the approval and recommendation of, the conflicts committee of the Board prior to execution of the Investment Agreement and consummation of the Preferred Issuance.
In connection with the Preferred Issuance, on March 29, 2022, LGP Operations LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, each Investor and the Partnership entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Holdings to, among other things, set forth the rights, preferences, entitlements, restrictions and limitations of the Series A Preferred Interests. The Series A Preferred Interests have an initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per Series A Preferred Interest and are entitled to a preferred return at a rate of 9% per annum on the liquidation preference, compounded quarterly (the “preferred return”). Prior to October 16, 2026, the Series A Preferred Interests will not be entitled to receive distributions, but the preferred return instead will accumulate solely by way of an increase in the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Interests. From and after October 16, 2026, the preferred return will be payable in cash, on a quarterly basis. The Series A Preferred Interests are subject to exchange (i) upon a liquidation or deemed liquidation event of Holdings, (ii) upon a change of control of the Partnership, (iii) from and after March 1, 2024, at the option of the Partnership and Holdings, and (iv) on March 31, 2029, if any Series A Preferred Interests remain outstanding on such date (each of (i) through (iv), an “exchange”). Upon an exchange of any Series A Preferred Interests, the holders thereof will surrender each such Series A Preferred Interest in exchange for an amount equal to the then-current liquidation preference of such Series A Preferred Interest plus any preferred return accrued and unpaid with respect to the period from and after October 16, 2026 (the “Exchange Price”). The Exchange Price will be payable in common units of the Partnership or, if any holder of Series A Preferred Interests so elects, in cash. Any common units of the Partnership issued upon any exchange in payment of the Exchange Price will be valued at an amount equal to $23.74 per common unit, which is equal to 115% of the volume weighted average price of a Partnership common unit on the NYSE over the twenty trading-day period ending on March 28, 2022, the trading day immediately prior to the date of the Preferred Issuance.
21
The net proceeds received by Holdings in its sale of the Series A Preferred Interests were contributed to CAPL JKM Partners, which in turn used such proceeds to prepay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility. As a result of this prepayment, CAPL JKM Partners does not need to make a principal payment on the Term Loan Facility until April 1, 2023.
See Note 13 to the financial statements for additional information on the preferred membership interests.
COVID-19 Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus spread worldwide, including to the U.S., posing public health risks that have reached pandemic proportions. We experienced a sharp decrease in fuel volume in mid-to-late March 2020. Although fuel volumes largely recovered during the second half of 2020 and continue to recoverCOVID Pandemic has not significantly impacted our results in 2021, we cannot predict the scope and severity with which COVID-19 will impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Sustained decreases in2022, fuel volume or erosionwas recovering throughout 2021, which impacts the comparability of margin could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow, financial position and ultimately our ability to pay distributions.between periods.
Significant Factors Affecting our Profitability
The Significance of Crude Oil and Wholesale Motor Fuel Prices on Our Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Wholesale segment
The prices paid to our motor fuel suppliers for wholesale motor fuel (which affects our cost of sales) are highly correlated to the price of crude oil. The crude oil commodity markets are highly volatile, and the market prices of crude oil, and, correspondingly, the market prices of wholesale motor fuel, experience significant and rapid fluctuations. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we received a fixed mark-up per gallon on approximately 67%61% of gallons sold to our customers.customers, we receive a per gallon rate equal to the posted rack price, less any applicable discounts, plus transportation costs, taxes and a fixed rate per gallon of motor fuel. The remaining gallons are primarily DTW priced contracts, including intersegment sales to the Retailretail segment. These contracts provide for variable, market-based pricing that results in motor fuel gross profit effects similar to retail motor fuel gross profits (as crude oil prices decline, motor fuel gross profit generally increases, as discussed in our Retail segment below). The increase in DTW gross profit results from the cost of wholesale motor fuel declining at a faster rate as compared to the rate that retail motor fuel prices decline. Conversely, our DTW motor fuel gross profit generally declines when the cost of wholesale motor fuel increases at a faster rate as compared to the rate that retail motor fuel prices increase.pricing.
Regarding our supplier relationships, a majority of our total gallons purchased are subject to Terms Discounts.terms discounts. The dollar value of these discounts increases and decreases corresponding tovaries with changes in motor fuel prices. Therefore, in periods of lower wholesale motor fuel prices, our gross profit is negatively affected, and, in periods of higher wholesale motor fuel prices, our gross profit is positively affected (as it relates to these discounts).
23
Retail segment
We attempt to pass along wholesale motor fuel price changes to our retail customers through “at the pump” retail price changes; however, market conditions do not always allow us to do so immediately. The timing of any related increase or decrease in “at the pump” retail prices is affected by competitive conditions in each geographic market in which we operate. As such, the prices we charge our customers for motor fuel and the gross profit we receive on our motor fuel sales can increase or decrease significantly over short periods of time.
Changes in our average motor fuel selling price per gallon and gross margin are directly related to the changes in crude oil and wholesale motor fuel prices. Variations in our reported revenues and cost of sales are, therefore, primarily related to the price of crude oil and wholesale motor fuel prices and generally not as a result of changes in motor fuel sales volumes, unless otherwise indicated and discussed below.
We typically experience lower retail motor fuel gross profits in periods when the wholesale cost of motor fuel increases, and higher retail motor fuel gross profits in periods when the wholesale cost of motor fuel declines. Since the Wholesale segment supplies all fuel requirements to the Retail segment, a portion of that volatility is absorbed by the Wholesale segment.
As previously reported, we converted 46 company operated sites to dealer operated sites in the third quarter of 2019. As a result of this transition, we did not have any company operated sites for the period from September 30, 2019 through closing on the retail and wholesale acquisition on April 14, 2020, since which we have again been operating company operated sites.
Seasonality Effects on Volumes
Our business is subject to seasonality due to our wholesale and retail sites being located in certain geographic areas that are affected by seasonal weather and temperature trends and associated changes in retail customer activity during different seasons. Historically, sales volumes have been highest in the second and third quarters (during the summer months) and lowest during the winter months in the first and fourth quarters.
22
Impact of Inflation
Inflation affects our financial performance by increasing certain components of our operating expenses and cost of goods sold. Operatingsold, such as fuel, merchandise, and credit card fees. Inflation also affects certain operating expenses, includesuch as labor costs, certain leases, and general and administrative expenses. While our Wholesalewholesale segment benefits from higher Terms Discountsterms discounts as a result of higher fuel costs, inflation could and recently has negatively impactimpacted our cost of goods sold and operating expenses. Although we have historically been able to pass on increased costs through price increases, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.
Acquisition and Financing Activity
Our results of operations and financial condition are also impacted by our acquisition and financing activities as summarized below.
• From late June 2021 through December 31, 2021, we closed on the purchase of 103 sites of our 106-site acquisition from 7-Eleven, and in July 2021, we entered into a new credit agreement and amended our existing credit facility as further described in Notes 3 and 12 to the financial statements. In February 2022, we closed on the final three properties. • In March 2022, Holdings issued $25 million in preferred membership interests as further described in Note 13 to the financial statements.

Intersegment revenues
We present the results of operations of our segments on a consistent basis with how our management views the business. Therefore, our segments are presented before intersegment eliminations (which consist of motor fuel sold by our Wholesalewholesale segment to our Retailretail segment). As a result, in order to reconcile to our consolidated change in operating revenues, a discussion of the change in intersegment revenues is included in our consolidated MD&A discussion.
Our intersegment revenues increased $132$137 million (103%(53%), primarily attributable to the increase in wholesale fuel prices and the incremental intersegment revenues generated by the company operated sites acquired in the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales increased $381$250 million (72%(28%), which was a result of the increase in wholesale motor fuel prices and the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven and the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic discussed above.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased $13.5$39 million (22%(51%), which was primarily driven by increases in motor fuel merchandise and othermerchandise gross profit due to the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven along with realizing a higher terms discounts as a result of higher crude prices in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in prior year and incremental fuel margin from higher volume driven by the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic.per gallon.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense
Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense increased $0.5$2.2 million (3%(12%) primarily from incremental depreciation, amortization and accretion expense from the property and equipment and intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven, partially offset by a $1.57-Eleven. In addition, we recorded $1.6 million decrease in impairment charges during the third quarter of 2022, compared to $1.2 million in impairment charges during the same period of the prior year. These impairment charges were primarily related to our ongoing real estate rationalization effort and the resulting reclassification of these sites to assets held for sale.

Lastly,increase in the LIBOR rate. In addition, we incurred $0.4$2.0 million more in interest expense on the CAPL Credit Facility (net of the impact of the interest rate swaps) due primarily to the increase in the LIBOR rate and to a lesser degree, higher outstanding balance driven by the borrowings primarily to fund a portion of the purchase price offor the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven.

Our DTW margins were higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a resultcompared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to greater volatility in the price of crude oil for the asset exchanges with Circle K,nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the CST Fuel Supply Exchange, the acquisitionsame period of retail and wholesale assets, the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven and the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic.2021. In addition, we benefited from higher terms discounts as a result of higher crude prices. The average spot price of WTI crude oil increased 71%52% from $38.04 per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $65.05 per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. However, DTW margins were lower due2021 to the movements in wholesale fuel prices throughout$98.96 per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same time period of 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the daily spot price of WTI crude oil increased from $48 per barrel at the start of the year to $75 per barrel as of September 30, 2021, a 56% increase, which adversely impacted fuel margins for our variable priced gallons during the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we benefitted from the reduction in wholesale fuel prices. As such, DTW margins were negatively impacted for the first nine months of 2021 as compared to the first nine months of 2020.2022. See “Significant Factors Affecting our Profitability—The Significance of Crude Oil and Wholesale Motor Fuel Prices on Our Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.”
Rent gross profit
Rent gross profit Volume also increased $0.5 million (1%) primarily due to $0.5 million in rent concessions during the second quarter of 2020 and the positive impact from the CST Fuel Exchange, partially offset by a decrease as a result of terminating leases in connection with the April 2020 acquisition of retail and wholesale assets.
Income from CST Fuel Supply equity interests
Income from CST Fuel Supply equity interests is no longer generated as a result of the March 2020 CST Fuel Supply Exchange.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased $2.7 million (10%)2% primarily as a result of a $1.9volume generated by the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven, partially offset by lower volume in our base business (i.e., results excluding the results from the assets acquired from 7-Eleven).
Other revenues
Other revenues increased $2.6 million increase in environmental costs(98%) due primarily to higher take-or-pay income related to remediation, costs of compliance testingminimum purchase quantities on our dealer contracts and monitoring and a $1.2higher dealer contract termination fees.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased $2.6 million increase in insurance costs due to the increase in controlled sites(9%), primarily as a result of the acquisitions.an increase in management fees, partially offset by lower maintenance costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. EBITDA represents net income available to us before deducting interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and accretion (which includes certain impairment charges). Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude equity-based employee and director compensation expense, gains or losses on dispositions and lease terminations, net and certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees, separation benefit costs and certain other discrete non-cash items arising from purchase accounting. Distributable Cash Flow represents Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, sustaining capital expenditures and current income tax benefit or expense. The Distribution Coverage Ratio is computed by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by the weighted-average diluted common units and then dividing that result by the distributions paid per limited partner unit.paid.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and lenders. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used to assess our financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure or income taxes and the ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis by excluding the impact of items which do not result directly from the wholesale distribution of motor fuel, the leasing of real property, or the day to day operations of our retail site activities. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio are also used to assess the ability to generate cash sufficient to make distributions to our unitholders.
We believe the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio provides useful information to investors in assessing the financial condition and results of operations. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio should not be considered alternatives to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income. Additionally, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, we reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to Net income rather than to Net income available to limited partners. The difference between Net income and Net income available to limited partners is that, beginning in the second quarter of 2022, the accretion of preferred membership interests issued in late March 2022 is a deduction from Net income in computing Net income available to limited partners. Because Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess our financial performance without regard to capital structure, we believe Adjusted EBITDA should be reconciled with Net income, so that the calculation isn’t impacted by the accretion of preferred membership interests. This approach is comparable to our reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income available to limited partners in past periods, as we have not recorded accretion of preferred membership interests in past periods. (b) Relates to certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees, separation benefit costs and certain purchase accounting adjustments associated with recently acquired businesses.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded gains on the sale of CAPL Properties in connection with the asset exchange with Circle K of $11.4 million and $19.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. We also recorded gains on the sale of sites in connection withconditions suitable to lease, such as parking lot or roof replacement/renovation, or to replace equipment required to operate the existing business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance our operations, fund acquisitions, service our debt and pay distributions to our unitholders. We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated by operations, proceeds from sales of sites in connection with our real estate rationalization efforts, borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility and JKM Credit Facility, and if available to us on acceptable terms, issuances of equity and debt securities. We regularly evaluate alternate sources of capital to support our liquidity requirements.
33
Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures, acquisitions, and partnership distributions, 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.
31
We believe that we will have sufficient cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity under the CAPL Credit Facility and JKM Credit Facility, access to capital markets and alternate sources of funding to meet our financial commitments, debt service obligations, contingencies, anticipated capital expenditures and partnership distributions. However, we are subject to business and operational risks that could adversely affect our cash flow. A material decrease in our cash flows would likely produce an adverse effect on our borrowing capacity as well as our ability to issue additional equity and/or debt securities and/or maintain or increase distributions to unitholders.
See “Recent Developments—COVID-19 Pandemic” for a discussion of the impacts and potential impacts on our liquidity from the COVID-19 Pandemic as well as actions we have taken or could take to mitigate its impact.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $10.2increased $50.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 compared to the same period in 2020,2021, primarily attributable to changes in working capital between the two periods. The biggest driver of this decrease relates to the initial build in accounts payable when acquiring company operated sites. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we acquired approximately 150 company operated sites, all in April 2020, and the initial build in accounts payable occurred quickly thereafter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we acquired 98 company operated sites from 7-Eleven but through a rolling close process, and therefore the initial build of accounts payable is still occurring for many of these sites. Additionally, acquisition costs increased $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. These negative drivers were partially offset by the incremental cash flow generated by the sites acquired from 7-Eleven.7-Eleven and the strong DTW margins in 2022.
As is typical in our industry, our current liabilities exceed our current assets as a result of the longer settlement of real estate and motor fuel taxes as well as operating lease obligations as compared to the shorter settlement of receivables for fuel and rent.
Investing Activities
We incurred capital expenditures of $32.4$26.8 million and $24.4$32.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. The increasedecrease was largely driven by reductions in EMV upgrades and rebranding of certain sites, including the sites being acquired from 7-Eleven. We received $11.0paid $1.9 million and $13.8$262.0 million in proceeds from sales of assets, largely driven by our real estate rationalization effort, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in connection with the closing of sites acquired from 7-Eleven. We received $4.4 million and 2020,$11.0 million in proceeds primarily from the sale of sites in connection with our real estate rationalization effort for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Financing Activities
We paid $262.0$59.9 million and $59.8 million in distributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

We received $24.4 million in net proceeds from the issuance of preferred membership interests during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We paid $7.1 million in financing costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 in connection with our acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven. We paid $28.2 million duringentering into the nine months ended September 30, 2020 in connection with our acquisition of retail and wholesale assets. Lastly, we received $23.0 million from Circle K primarily in connection with the CST Fuel Supply Exchange that closed in March 2020.
Financing Activities
We paid $59.8 million in distributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We made net borrowings on our CAPLJKM Credit Facility and JKM Credit Facilityamendment of $123.5 million and $160.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, primarily to fund the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven and to pay $8.5 million in acquisition costs and $7.1 million of deferred financing costs. We paid $58.0 million in distributions and made net repayments on our CAPL Credit Facility of $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Capital Expenditures
We make investments to expand, upgrade and enhance existing assets. We categorize our capital requirements as either sustaining capital expenditures, growth capital expenditures or acquisition capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures are those capital expenditures required to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity. Acquisition and growth capital expenditures are those capital expenditures that we expect will increase our operating income or operating capacity over the long term. We have the ability to fund our capital expenditures by additional borrowings under our CAPL Credit Facility, JKM Credit Facility, or, if available to us on acceptable terms, accessing the capital markets and issuing additional equity, debt securities or other options, such as the sale of assets. Our ability to access the capital markets may have an impact on our ability to fund acquisitions. We may not be able to complete any offering of securities or other options on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Long-Term Debt
See Note 8 to the financial statements for additional information on the CAPL Credit Facility and JKM Credit Facility.
Interest Payments on Debt
Such amounts include estimates of interest expense related to our CAPL Credit Facility and our JKM Credit Facility assuming a 2.3% interest rate and a 2.6% interest rate, respectively. The rate assumed on our CAPL Credit Facility takes into account the interest rate swap contracts.
Finance Lease Obligations
We have certain retail site properties under finance leases. Finance lease obligations in the table above include both principal and interest.
Operating Lease Obligations
The operating lease obligations include leases for land, office facilities and retail sites. Operating lease obligations reflected in the table above include all operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of one year and are not reduced by minimum rentals to be received by us under subleases. In addition, such amounts do not reflect contingent rentals that may be incurred in addition to minimum rentals.
Our principal executive offices are in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in an office space leased from a related party. Future lease payments on this office lease are included within operating lease obligations. See Note 10 to the financial statements for additional information.
Other Liabilities
We have excluded asset retirement obligations and other liabilities for which the timing of payment or the amount is not determinable.
Under the terms of various supply agreements, the Partnership is obligated to minimum volume purchases measured in gallons of motor fuel. The aggregate dollar amount of the future minimum volume purchase requirements is dependent on the future weighted average wholesale cost per gallon charged under the applicable supply agreements. The amounts and timing of the related payment obligations cannot reasonably be estimated reliably. As a result, payment of these amounts has been excluded from the table above.

Outlook
As noted previously, the prices paid to our motor fuel suppliers for wholesale motor fuel (which affects our cost of sales) are highly correlated to the price of crude oil. The crude oil commodity markets are highly volatile, and the market prices of crude oil, and, correspondingly, the market prices of wholesale motor fuel, experience significant and rapid fluctuations, which affect our motor fuel gross profit. See “Significant Factors Affecting our Profitability—The Significance of Crude Oil and Wholesale Motor Fuel Prices on Our Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit” for additional information.
33
Our results for 20212022 relative to 20202021 are anticipated to be impacted by the following:acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven, which is anticipated to increase gross profit both within the wholesale and retail segments and operating expenses within the retail segment. Given increases in LIBOR, we also anticipate higher interest expense in 2022 as compared to 2021.
See "Recent Developments—Acquisition of Assets from Community Service Stations, Inc." for information regarding our recently announced acquisition expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We will continue to evaluate acquisitions on an opportunistic basis. Additionally, we will pursue acquisition targets that fit into our strategy. Whether we will be able to execute acquisitions will depend on market conditions, availability of suitable acquisition targets at attractive terms, acquisition related compliance with customary regulatory requirements, and our ability to finance such acquisitions on favorable terms and in compliance with our debt covenant restrictions.
New Accounting Policies

A shortage of qualified labor could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
In our current operating environment, due in part to COVID-19 and general macroeconomic factors, we are experiencing labor shortages in certain geographies. Outside suppliers that we rely on have also experienced shortages of qualified labor. The future success of our operations depends on our ability, and the ability of third parties on which we rely, to identify, recruit, develop and retain qualified and talented individuals in order to supply and deliver our products. A prolonged shortage of qualified labor could decrease our ability to effectively operate our retail locations, which would negatively impact our business and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. A shortage would also likely result in increased costs from higher overtime, the need to hire temporary help to meet demand, higher wage rates to attract and retain employees, and higher costs to purchase raw materials or services from such third parties, all of which would negatively impact our results of operations.
