Susser Holdings Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Unaudited
| |
1. | Organization and Principles of Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements are composed of Susser Holdings Corporation (“SUSS”, "Susser" or the “Company”), a Delaware Corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, which operate convenience stores and distribute motor fuels in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana. The Company was formed in May 2006, and in October 2006 completed an initial public offering (IPO). Susser, through its subsidiaries and predecessors, has been acquiring, operating and supplying motor fuel to service stations, convenience stores and commercial customers since the 1930’s.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. The Company’s primary operations are conducted by the following consolidated subsidiaries:
| |
• | Stripes LLC (“Stripes”), a Texas Limited Liability Company, operates convenience stores located in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. |
| |
• | Susser Petroleum Company LLC (“SPC”), a Texas Limited Liability Company, operates a motor fuel consignment business and provides transportation logistics services in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana. SPC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Stripes. Prior to September 25, 2012, SPC also distributed motor fuels. |
| |
• | Effective September 25, 2012, Susser Petroleum Partners LP ("SUSP" or the "Partnership"), a Delaware Limited Partnership, distributes motor fuel to SUSS and third parties in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Susser owns 50.1% of the SUSP common and subordinated units representing limited partner interest and owns 100% of SUSP's general partner, Susser Petroleum Partners GP LLC ("General Partner"). SUSP was formed in June 2012 and completed an initial public offering ("SUSP IPO") on September 25, 2012 (see Note 2 for additional information on SUSP). |
The Company also offers environmental, maintenance and construction management services to the petroleum industry (including its own sites) through its subsidiary Applied Petroleum Technologies, Ltd. (“APT”), a Texas limited partnership. Two wholly owned subsidiaries, Susser Holdings, L.L.C. and Susser Finance Corporation, are the issuers of the $425 million of senior notes that were outstanding until May 15, 2013, but do not conduct any operations (See Note 8). A subsidiary, C&G Investments, LLC, owns a 50% interest in Cash & Go, Ltd. and Cash & Go Management, LLC. Cash & Go, Ltd. currently operates 38 units, located primarily inside Stripes retail stores, which provide short-term loan and check cashing services. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method, and reflects its share of net earnings in other miscellaneous income and its investment in other noncurrent assets. T&C Wholesale LLC ("T&C Wholesale"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SUSP, sells motor fuel and other petroleum lubricant products to third parties.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Transactions and balances of other subsidiaries are not material to the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s fiscal year is 52 or 53 weeks and ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. All references to fiscal 2012 refer to the 52-week period ended December 30, 2012. All references to the second quarter and first half of 2012 and 2013 refer to the 13-week and 26-week periods ended July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively. SPC and SUSP use calendar month accounting periods and end their fiscal year on December 31.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries, and all amounts at June 30, 2013 and for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013 are unaudited. Pursuant to Regulation S-X, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented and which are of a normal, recurring nature.
Our results of operations for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Our business is seasonal and we generally experience higher levels of revenues during the summer months than during the winter months.
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012.
Certain line items have been reclassified for presentation purposes. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, change in notes receivable has been reclassified from a financing activity to an operating activity to better reflect the purpose of these
notes receivable. On the consolidated balance sheets as of December 30, 2012, a reclassification between prepaid income taxes, accrued income taxes, and long-term deferred tax liabilities was made to reflect a revision in our 2012 income tax provision between current and deferred income taxes. This revision had no impact on total income tax for the year ended December 30, 2012.
2.Susser Petroleum Partners LP
Susser Petroleum Partners LP is a publicly traded limited partnership that was formed by SUSS to engage in the wholesale distribution of motor fuels to Susser and third parties. Its operations are integral to the success of our retail operations and we purchase all of our motor fuel from SUSP. SUSP's assets consist of substantially all of Susser's motor fuel distribution business (other than the motor fuel consignment business and transportation assets) and certain owned and leased convenience store properties.
Initial Public Offering
On September 25, 2012, SUSP completed the SUSP IPO of 10,925,000 common units at a price of $20.50 per unit. Net proceeds to SUSP from the issuance of the units were approximately $206 million, net of offering costs and discounts and commissions. After the completion of the SUSP IPO, SUSS owns a 50.1% interest in SUSP, all of the incentive distribution rights and 100.0% of the General Partner, which has a 0.0% non-economic general partner interest in SUSP. We are the primary beneficiary of SUSP's earnings and cash flows and therefore we consolidate SUSP into our financial results. The initial public offering represented the issuance by SUSP of a 49.9% noncontrolling interest in SUSP. All intercompany transactions with SUSP are eliminated in our consolidated balances.
The subordinated units we hold in the Partnership are eligible to participate in quarterly distributions made by the Partnership after the common units have received the minimum quarterly distribution plus any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution from prior quarters. Subordinated units do not accrue arrearages. The subordinated units will convert into common units on a one-for-one basis on the first business day after the Partnership has paid at least (1) the minimum distribution on each outstanding common and subordinated unit for each of the three consecutive, non-overlapping four-quarter periods ending on or after September 30, 2015, or (2) 150.0% of the minimum quarterly distribution on each outstanding common and subordinated unit and the related distributions on the incentive distribution rights for the four-quarter period immediately preceding that date, in each case provided there are no arrearages on common units at that time.
Effective on the closing date of the SUSP IPO, SUSP entered into a revolving credit agreement ("SUSP Revolver") with a syndicate of banks which provides for borrowings under a revolving credit facility with total loan availability of $250 million. SUSP also entered into a term loan and security agreement (“SUSP Term Loan”) under which SUSP borrowed $180.7 million. The SUSP Term Loan is collateralized by marketable securities in an amount equal to at least 98.0% of the SUSP Term Loan balance outstanding. At June 30, 2013, the SUSP term loan outstanding was $95.9 million and marketable securities consisting of commercial paper and money market fund investments totaled $95.9 million.
Susser has entered into a guaranty of collection in connection with the SUSP Revolver and SUSP Term Loan, with maximum obligation to Susser limited to $180.7 million. We are also contingently liable on $1.1 million in mortgage debt. For additional information regarding SUSP and our credit and term loan facilities, see Note 8. In addition, we have provided guarantees of payment to certain of SUSP's vendors. With the exception of these liabilities, SUSP's creditors have no recourse to our assets. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of SUSP and its consolidated subsidiaries.
SUSP is a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”). The amounts shown in the parenthetical presentation on the Consolidated Balance Sheet represents the SUSP balances not guaranteed by SUSS. The liabilities which are guaranteed by us are as follows as of June 30, 2013 (in thousands):
|
| | | | |
Accounts Payable | | $ | 77,322 |
|
Current portion of long-term debt | | 24 |
|
Long-term debt and revolver | | 181,728 |
|
Commercial Agreements
We entered into two long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with SUSP, summarized as follows:
| |
• | The distribution agreement is a 10-year agreement under which SUSP is the exclusive distributor of motor fuel to our existing Stripes® convenience stores and independently operated consignment locations, and to all future sites purchased by SUSP pursuant to the sale and leaseback option under the Omnibus Agreement (described below), at cost, including tax and transportation costs, plus a fixed profit margin of three cents per gallon. In addition, all future |
motor fuel volumes purchased by SUSS for its own account will be added to the distribution agreement pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement.
| |
• | The transportation agreement is a 10-year transportation logistics agreement, pursuant to which Susser arranges for motor fuel to be delivered from SUSP's suppliers to SUSP's customers at rates consistent with those charged to third parties for the delivery of motor fuel. |
Omnibus Agreement
In addition to the commercial agreements described above, we also entered into an Omnibus Agreement with SUSP pursuant to which, among other things, SUSP received a three-year option to purchase from Susser up to 75 of our new or recently constructed Stripes® convenience stores at our cost and lease the stores back to us at a specified rate for a 15-year initial term, and SUSP will be the exclusive distributor of motor fuel to such stores for a period of ten years from the date of purchase. SUSP also received a ten-year right to participate in acquisition opportunities with us, to the extent SUSP and Susser are able to reach an agreement on terms, and the exclusive right to distribute motor fuel to certain of our newly constructed convenience stores and independently operated consignment locations. In addition, SUSP agreed to reimburse the General Partner and its affiliates for the costs incurred in managing and operating SUSP. The Omnibus Agreement also provides for certain indemnification obligations between SUSS and SUSP, including certain environmental costs and income tax liabilities.
In addition, the Omnibus Agreement provides that for future stores not included in the sale leaseback arrangement, SUSS is obligated to purchase any fuel it sells in the future from SUSP, for a period of ten years, either at a negotiated rate or the alternate fuel sales rate. We sold six convenience store properties to SUSP for $21.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. These stores were leased back to SUSS. Since SUSP's IPO, we have sold a total of 20 convenience store properties to SUSP, for a total cost of $81.5 million, through June 30, 2013.

3. | New Accounting Pronouncements |
FASB ASU No. 2012-02. In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, "Intangibles- Goodwill and Other." This guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance affected our impairment steps only but did not have an affect on our results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.

7. | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets |
Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The annual impairment test is performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. At December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013, we had $244.4 million of goodwill recorded in conjunction with past business combinations. The 2012 impairment analysis indicated no impairment in goodwill. As of June 30, 2013, we evaluated potential impairment indicators and we believe no indicators of impairment occurred during the first half of 2013, and we believe the assumptions used in the analysis performed in 2012 are still relevant and indicative of our current operating environment. As a result, no impairment was recorded to goodwill during the first six months of 2013.
The Company has finite-lived intangible assets recorded that are amortized and indefinite-lived assets that do not amortize. The indefinite-lived assets are evaluated annually for impairment. The finite-lived assets consist of supply agreements, favorable/unfavorable leasehold arrangements, loan origination costs, trade names and certain franchise rights, all of which are amortized over the respective lives of the agreements or over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows. Supply agreements are being amortized over an average period of approximately seven years. Favorable/unfavorable leasehold arrangements are being amortized over an average period of approximately eleven years. The Laredo Taco Company trade name is being amortized over fifteen years. Loan origination costs are amortized over the life of the underlying debt as an increase to interest expense.
The following table presents the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible assets, excluding goodwill, at December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013:

The fair value of the term loans, revolving credit facilities and other notes payable are estimated to be $402.6 million. Other notes payable consist of long-term, fixed-rate mortgage notes ranging from 6.0% to 7.0% maturing from 2016 to 2031. The fair value of the term loans and other notes payable is based on the par value of the loans and an analysis of the net present value of remaining payments at a rate calculated off U.S. Treasury Securities. Fair value approximates carrying value on revolvers. The estimated fair value of the term loans and other notes payable is calculated using Level 3 inputs.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On May 7, 2010, the Company, through its subsidiaries Susser Holdings, L.L.C. and Susser Finance Corporation, issued $425 million 8.50% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”). The 2016 Notes paid interest semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2016 Notes were to mature on May 15, 2016 and were guaranteed by the Company and each existing and future domestic subsidiary of the Company other than certain non-operating subsidiaries, Susser Company, Ltd, Susser Petroleum Partners GP LLC and SUSP and its subsidiaries.
On May 15, 2013, in accordance with the terms of the indenture, we redeemed all of the outstanding $425 million balance of the 2016 Notes at a price of 104.25% of par. The redemption was funded by approximately $233 million drawn on the SUSS 2013 Revolver (defined and further described below under “SUSS Revolving Credit Agreement”) and with cash on
the balance sheet. Additional information regarding costs associated with the 2016 Note redemption is included in “Losses on Early Extinguishment of Debt” below, and in Note 10.
SUSP Term Loan
On September 25, 2012, in connection with the SUSP IPO, SUSP entered into a Term Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. for a $180.7 million term loan facility, expiring September 25, 2015 (the “SUSP Term Loan”). Borrowings under the SUSP Term Loan bear interest at (i) a base rate (a rate based off of the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) Bank of America's prime rate or (c) LIBOR plus 1.00%) or (ii) LIBOR plus 0.25%. At June 30, 2013, the outstanding balance was $95.9 million and the interest rate on the SUSP Term Loan was 0.44%.
In order to obtain the interest rate on the SUSP Term Loan on more favorable terms, SUSP pledged investment grade securities in an amount equal to or greater than 98.0% of the outstanding principal amount of the SUSP Term Loan (the “Collateral Account”). As of June 30, 2013, $95.9 million of commercial paper and money market fund investments collateralized the SUSP Term Loan and are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These investments are intended to be used to fund future capital expenditures. The SUSP Term Loan requires SUSP to, among other things (i) deliver certain financial statements, certificates and notices to Bank of America at specified times and (ii) maintain the required collateral and the liens thereon (subject to SUSP's ability to withdraw certain amounts of the collateral, as permitted under the SUSP Term Loan).
Credit Facilities
SUSS Revolving Credit Agreement. On May 7, 2010, Susser Holdings, L.L.C. (the "Borrower") entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions providing for a four year revolving credit facility (the “SUSS Revolver”), which was amended on September 25, 2012 in connection with the SUSP IPO. The SUSS Revolver provided for an aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million. The Company and each of its existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than (i) any subsidiary that is a “controlled foreign corporation” under the Internal Revenue Code or a subsidiary that is held directly or indirectly by a “controlled foreign corporation,” (ii) Susser Company, Ltd. (iii) SUSP, its consolidated subsidiaries and its General Partner, and (iv) certain future non-operating subsidiaries) were guarantors under the Credit Agreement.
On April 8, 2013, Susser Holdings, L.L.C. entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“2013 SUSS Revolver”) which provides for a new five year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million, maturing on April 8, 2018, and replaces the existing $100 million SUSS Revolver. The 2013 SUSS Revolver may be increased by up to $100 million. We drew approximately $233 million on the 2013 SUSS Revolver on May 15, 2013, in connection with the redemption of our 2016 Notes.
The interest rates under the 2013 SUSS Revolver are calculated at either a base rate or LIBOR plus a margin of 0.50% to 1.25% (in the case of base rate loans) or 1.50% to 2.25% (in the case of LIBOR loans), based on a leverage grid. In addition, the unused portion of the SUSS Revolver is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.40% based on SUSS's consolidated total leverage ratio. The 2013 SUSS Revolver may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty, other than breakage costs if applicable, and requires the maintenance of (i) a senior secured leverage ratio of (a) prior to March 31, 2015, not more than 2.75 to 1.00 and (b) on and after March 31, 2015, not more than 2.50 to 1.00 and (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.50 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 30, 2013.
The loans under the new revolving credit facility are secured by a first priority security interest in (a) 100% of the Borrower's outstanding equity interests, 100% of the outstanding equity interests of each of the Company's existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries (subject to certain exclusions and limited, in the case of each foreign subsidiary (i) to first-tier foreign subsidiaries and (ii) with respect to any controlled foreign corporation, to 65% of the outstanding voting stock of each such foreign subsidiary); (b) all present and future intercompany debt of the Borrower and Stripes Holdings LLC and each subsidiary guarantor; (c) certain real property, including equipment and fixtures located on such real property, owned by the subsidiary guarantors; (d) substantially all of the present and future personal property and assets of the Borrower and Stripes Holdings LLC and each subsidiary guarantor, including, but not limited to, inventory, accounts receivable, license rights, and other general intangibles, insurance proceeds and instruments; and (e) all proceeds and products of all of the foregoing. SUSP, its consolidated subsidiaries and its General Partner are not guarantors of the 2013 SUSS Revolver.
As of June 30, 2013, we had $220.1 million in borrowings under the 2013 SUSS Revolver and $2.4 million in standby letters of credit. The unused availability on the 2013 SUSS Revolver at June 30, 2013, was $277.6 million.
SUSP Revolving Credit Facility. On September 25, 2012, in connection with the SUSP IPO, SUSP entered into a $250 million Revolving Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks (the “SUSP Revolver”), expiring September 25, 2017. The
facility can be increased from time to time upon SUSP's written request, subject to certain conditions, up to an additional $100 million. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a (i) base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.25% or (ii) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.25% (determined with reference to SUSP's consolidated total leverage ratio). In addition, the unused portion of the SUSP Revolver is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.50%, based on SUSP's consolidated total leverage ratio.
The SUSP Revolver requires SUSP to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00, and a consolidated total leverage ratio of not more than 4.50 to 1.00, subject to certain adjustments. Indebtedness under the SUSP Revolver is secured by a security interest in, among other things, all of SUSP's present and future personal property and all of the personal property of SUSP's guarantors, the capital stock of SUSP subsidiaries, and any intercompany debt. Additionally, if SUSP's consolidated total leverage ratio exceeds 3.00 to 1.00 at the end of any fiscal quarter, SUSP will be required, upon request of the lenders, to grant mortgage liens on all real property owned by the SUSP and its subsidiary guarantors.
As of June 30, 2013, the amount borrowed on the SUSP Revolver was $84.8 million and there were $12.8 million in standby letters of credit. The unused availability on the SUSP Revolver at June 30, 2013, was $152.4 million. SUSP was in compliance with all covenants.
Guaranty of SUSP Term Loan and SUSP Revolver
On September 25, 2012, in connection with the SUSP IPO, the Company entered into a Guaranty of Collection (the “Guaranty”) in connection with the SUSP Term loan and the SUSP Revolver. Pursuant to the Guaranty, Susser guarantees the collection of (i) the principal amount outstanding under the SUSP Term Loan and (ii) the SUSP Revolver. Susser's obligation under the Guaranty is limited to $180.7 million. Susser is not required to make payments under the Guaranty unless and until (a) SUSP has failed to make a payment on a the SUSP Term Loan or SUSP Revolver, (b) the obligations under such facilities have been accelerated, (c) all remedies of the applicable lenders to collect the unpaid amounts due under such facilities, whether at law or equity, have been exhausted and (d) the applicable lenders have failed to collect the full amount owing on such facilities. In addition, effective September 25, 2012, the Company entered into a Reimbursement Agreement with Susser Petroleum Property Company LLC ("Propco"), a wholly owned subsidiary of SUSP, whereby the Company is obligated to reimburse Propco for any amounts paid by Propco under the guaranty of the SUSP Revolver executed by SUSP's subsidiaries. The Company's exposure under this reimbursement agreement is limited, when aggregated with its obligation under the Guaranty, to $180.7 million.
Losses on Early Extinguishment of Debt
In conjunction with the extinguishment of the Company's 2016 Notes and the amendment to the Company's credit agreement in May 2013, the Company incurred losses on early extinguishment of $26.2 million which included the $18.1 million call premium, $5.3 million in unamortized loan costs and $2.8 million of unamortized discount. The after-tax amount of this loss was $16.7 million or $0.79 per diluted share. These amounts are included in interest expense in the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 (see Note 10 for additional information related to interest expense).
Fair Value Measurements
We use fair value measurements to measure, among other items, purchased assets and investments, leases and derivative contracts. We also use them to assess impairment of properties, equipment, intangible assets and goodwill. Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or is derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, use of unobservable prices or inputs is used to estimate the current fair value, often using an internal valuation model. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the item being valued.
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following hierarchy:
|
| |
Level 1 | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| |
Level 2 | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; |
| |
Level 3 | Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing. |
Debt or equity securities are classified into the following reporting categories: held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale securities. The investments in debt securities, which typically mature in one year or less, are currently classified as held-to-maturity and valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of marketable securities is measured using Level 1 inputs. The maturity dates of these debt securities range from July 1, 2013 to September 3, 2013 and are classified on the balance sheet in other assets. Marketable securities also include approximately $5.9 million in money market funds. The carrying value approximates fair value and are measured using Level 1 inputs. The gross unrecognized holding gains and losses as of December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013 were not material. These investments are used as collateral to secure the SUSP term loan and are intended to be used only for funding future capital expenditures.
From time to time, the Company enters into interest rate swaps to either reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate long-term debt or to take advantage of favorable variable interest rates compared to its fixed rate long-term debt in order to manage interest rate risk exposure. We had no interest rate swaps outstanding at December 30, 2012 or June 30, 2013.
The Company also periodically enters into derivatives, such as futures and options, to manage its fuel price risk, primarily related to bulk purchases of fuel. We hedge this inventory risk through the use of fuel futures contracts which are matched in quantity and timing to the anticipated usage of the inventory. The fair value of our derivative contracts is measured using Level 2 inputs, and is determined by either market prices on an active market for similar assets or by prices quoted by a broker or other market-corroborated prices. This price does not differ materially from the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor due to the short term nature of these contracts. At December 30, 2012, the Company held fuel futures contracts with a fair value of ($79,700) (49 contracts representing 2.1 million gallons). At June 30, 2013, the Company held fuel futures contracts with a fair value of ($247,700) (173 contracts representing 7.3 million gallons), which are classified in other current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized a gain/(loss) during the first six months of 2012 and 2013 related to these contracts of less than $0.1 million and ($1.2 million), respectively. The gain/(loss) realized on hedging contracts is substantially offset by changes in profitability on sale of fuel inventory.

9. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Leases
The Company leases a portion of its convenience store properties under non-cancellable operating leases whose initial terms are typically 10 to 20 years, along with options that permit renewals for additional periods. Minimum rent is expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In addition to minimum rental payments, certain leases require additional contingent payments based on sales or motor fuel volume. The Company is typically responsible for payment of real estate taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance.

Our interim provision for income taxes is based on our estimated annual effective tax rate for the year of 26.5% plus any discrete items. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, our computed tax rate was 26.4% as compared to the computed tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2012 of 37.9%. These tax rates are computed as a percentage of net income before taxes and before reduction for noncontrolling interest. The decrease in the computed tax rate from first half 2012 to first half 2013 is primarily attributable to the noncontrolling interest in SUSP. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, which is primarily the limited partner interest held by the public in SUSP, is not taxable to SUSS for federal and state income tax purposes. Included in our provision for income tax is a tax imposed by the state of Texas of 0.5% of gross margin in Texas (“franchise tax”). SUSP is subject to franchise tax and will be included in the SUSS combined franchise tax return.
It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. The Company files income and gross franchise tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisiana. The Company is subject to examinations in all jurisdictions for all returns for the 2009 through 2011 tax years.
As of June 30, 2013, all tax positions taken by the Company are considered highly certain or more likely than not. There are no positions the Company reasonably anticipates will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date, and therefore no adjustments have been recorded related to unrecognized tax benefits.
12.Shareholders’ Equity
A total of 125,000,000 shares of common stock have been authorized, $0.01 par value, of which 21,619,700 were issued and 21,229,499 were outstanding as of December 30, 2012, and 21,627,182 were issued and 21,337,299 were outstanding as of June 30, 2013. Included in these amounts are 195,560 and 193,638 shares as of December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively, which represent restricted shares that are not yet vested and have no voting rights. Treasury shares consist of 390,201 and 289,883 shares as of December 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively, issued as restricted shares which were forfeited prior to vesting, were withheld to pay employee payroll taxes upon vesting or were repurchased in the open market. Options to purchase 584,043 shares of common stock are outstanding as of June 30, 2013, 443,214 of which are vested. Additionally, 617,209 restricted stock units are outstanding, of which 460,851 remain subject to performance criteria in addition to time-vesting (See Note 13).
A total of 25,000,000 preferred shares have been authorized, par value $0.01 per share, although none have been issued.
Noncontrolling interest primarily represents the equity in SUSP owned by outside limited partners (see Note 2).

On May 21, 2013, our shareholders unanimously approved the adoption of the Susser Holdings Corporation 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"). The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to
awards granted under the 2013 Plan is 1,750,000. Any shares of Common Stock delivered under the 2013 Plan will consist of authorized and unissued shares, or treasury shares.
Under the 2013 Plan, during the second quarter of 2013, 252,111 restricted stock units with an aggregate fair value of $12.7 million were granted. These restricted stock units are subject to performance criteria and vest between 2014 and 2016. Included in the performance shares was a grant of 51,578 restricted stock units, with an aggregate fair value of $2.6 million, that are subject to market conditions and were valued using a Lattice Model. During the second quarter of 2013, we granted 10,985 shares of restricted stock with an aggregate fair value of $0.5 million, which will be amortized over the requisite service period. In addition, we granted 50,000 options with an aggregate fair value of $1.1 million, which will be amortized over the requisite service period.
Phantom Common Unit Awards
SUSP has issued a total of 44,639 phantom unit awards to certain directors and employees of SUSS under the Susser Petroleum Partners LP 2012 Long Term Incentive Plan ("2012 LTIP"). Non-employee director awards vest at the end of a one to three-year period and employee awards vest ratably over a two to five-year service period.
We recognized consolidated non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.7 million and $1.2 million during the three months ended July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively, and $2.9 million and $2.8 million during the six months ended July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expense.
The Company operates its business in two primary operating segments, both of which are included as reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated in identifying the two reportable segments. The retail segment, Stripes, operates retail convenience stores in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma that sell merchandise, prepared food and motor fuel, and also offer a variety of services including car washes, lottery, ATM, money orders, prepaid phone cards and wireless services and movie rentals.
The wholesale segment purchases fuel from a number of refiners and supplies it to the Company's retail stores, to independently-operated dealer stations under long-term supply agreements and to other end users of motor fuel. The wholesale segment includes all of the operations of SUSP, a consolidated VIE which began operations on September 25, 2012, along with other wholesale-segment activities not contributed to SUSP. Sales of fuel from the wholesale to retail segment were delivered at cost, including tax and freight, prior to September 25, 2012. Subsequent to this date, a profit margin of approximately three cents per gallon was added. These amounts are reflected in the intercompany eliminations of fuel revenue and fuel cost of sales.
There are no external customers who are individually material. Amounts in the “All Other” column include APT, corporate overhead and other costs not allocated to the two primary segments.

Basic EPS which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common shares. Dilutive EPS includes in-the-money stock options and unvested stock using the treasury stock method. During a net loss period, the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options and unvested stock has an anti-dilutive effect, and therefore such potential shares, unvested stock and unvested stock units are excluded from the diluted EPS computation.
Per share information is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period for the basic computation and, if dilutive, the weighted average number of potential common shares resulting from the assumed conversion of outstanding stock options, unvested stock and unvested stock units for the diluted computation. Additionally, for the diluted earnings per share computation, net earnings (loss) attributable to SUSS is reduced, where applicable, for the decrease in earnings from SUSS's limited partner unit ownership in SUSP that would have resulted assuming the incremental units related to SUSP's equity incentive plans had been issued during the respective periods. Shares not included in the denominator for basic EPS but evaluated for inclusion in the denominator for diluted EPS included options, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units granted under the 2006 and 2013 Equity Incentive Plans (See Note 13).
A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations is as follows:

Overview
Our operations include retail convenience stores and wholesale motor fuel distribution. We are a leading operator of convenience stores in Texas based on store count and one of the largest distributors of motor fuel by volume in Texas. As of June 30, 2013, our retail segment operated 567 convenience stores in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma offering merchandise, food service, motor fuel and other services. Our consolidated results include the operations of Susser Petroleum Partners LP (“SUSP”), of which we own 50.1% of the limited partner interests and 100% of SUSP's general partner. The 49.9% share of SUSP's net income allocated to public limited partners is reflected as income attributable to noncontrolling interest.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we sold 392.2 million and 762.4 million gallons of branded and unbranded motor fuel, respectively. We purchase fuel directly from refiners and distribute it to our Stripes® convenience stores, contracted independent operators of convenience stores (“dealers”), unbranded convenience stores and other commercial users. We believe our combined retail/wholesale business model makes it possible for us to pursue strategic acquisition opportunities and operate acquired properties under either format, providing an optimized return on investment. Our market share and scale allows the integration of new or acquired stores while minimizing overhead costs. In addition, we believe our food service and merchandising offerings distinguish us from our competition, providing the opportunity for increased traffic in our stores.
We opened six new retail stores during the second quarter of 2013 and closed one, for a total of 567 retail stores operated at the end of the quarter. We have opened an additional three retail stores to date in the third quarter of 2013, and currently have 16 under construction, with a total of 28 to 30 new retail stores expected to be completed during 2013. Our wholesale segment added ten dealer and consignment sites and discontinued six during the second quarter of 2013, for a total of 583 independently operated sites supplied under long-term contracts at the end of the quarter. We expect to add a total of 28 to 40 new dealer sites during 2013.
Our total revenues, net income (loss) attributable to Susser Holdings Corporation and Adjusted EBITDA were $1.6 billion, ($4.3 million) and $50.5 million, respectively, for second quarter 2013, compared to $1.5 billion, $29.8 million and $72.9 million, respectively, for second quarter 2012. For the first half of 2013, our total revenues, net income (loss) attributable to Susser Holdings Corporation and Adjusted EBITDA were $3.0 billion, ($4.5 million) and $82.3 million, respectively, compared to $2.9 billion, $29.3 million and $95.8 million during the first half of 2012. Our business is seasonal, and we generally experience higher sales and profitability in the second and third quarters during the summer activity months and lowest during the first and fourth quarters. For a description of our results of operations on a quarterly basis see “Quarterly Results of Operations and Seasonality.”
Included in net loss is the $26.2 million loss on early extinguishment of debt on a pre-tax basis. Excluding the non-recurring after-tax cost of $16.7 million related to the redemption of our 2016 Notes, our net income attributable to Susser Holdings Corporation was $12.5 million and $12.3 million for the three and six months, respectively. Diluted EPS, excluding the non-recurring charge, was $0.59 and $0.58 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
We typically experience lower fuel margins in periods when the cost of fuel increases gradually, and higher fuel margins in periods when the cost of fuel declines or is more volatile. We report retail fuel margins before credit card fees, but higher fuel prices result in higher credit card costs, which tends to drive fuel margins higher to cover the additional credit card fees. Additionally, our fuel margins have historically exhibited seasonal differences, with lower fuel margins during the first and fourth quarters and the highest fuel margins in the second or third quarter of the year. Crude oil costs averaged approximately $94 per barrel during the second quarter of 2013, a slight increase over 2012 based on West Texas intermediate
spot prices. However, while 2012 second quarter costs fell by 19% from the beginning to the end of the period, 2013 costs did not exhibit a similar pattern, and ended the quarter only 1% down from the beginning of the period. Our wholesale motor fuel costs typically follow a similar pattern to crude oil movements, and the different cost pattern this year resulted in a lower fuel margin than the record margin we experienced in 2012.
Our retail fuel margin for the second quarter of 2013 averaged 18.2 cents per gallon compared to 32.4 cents per gallon for the second quarter of 2012, and an average of 24.6 cents per gallon for the second quarter of the previous five years. Concurrent with the completion of the SUSP IPO in September 2012, SUSP began charging the retail segment a three-cent per gallon profit margin on gallons sold to it, which is reflected as a reduction to the 2013 retail margin. After deducting credit card fees, our retail fuel margin for the second quarter of 2013 was 12.7 cents per gallon compared to 26.8 cents a year ago. Wholesale segment third-party fuel margin averaged 6.4 cents per gallon for the second quarter of 2013, compared to 7.2 cents per gallon for the second quarter of 2012. Fuel gross profit represented 36.1% of our consolidated gross profit for the six months ending June 30, 2013 versus 38.2% for the six months ending July 1, 2012.
The economy in Texas, where the majority of our operations are conducted, continues to fare better than many other parts of the United States. Additionally, our business has remained generally more resilient through economic cycles than many other retail formats. We have reported positive comparable annual merchandise results for each of the last 24 years, and expect 2013 to produce our 25th consecutive annual increase in same-store merchandise sales, with second quarter 2013 growth of 2.2%. We also saw a 5.5% increase in average gallons sold per retail store for the second quarter 2013.
We believe we have adequate liquidity and financial flexibility to continue to operate and grow our business. In April 2013, we entered into a new $500 million revolving credit facility ("2013 SUSS Revolver"), replacing the existing $100 million SUSS facility. The initial interest rate on the new facility is LIBOR plus 2.0%. In conjunction with the May 2013 debt refinancing, we drew approximately $233.0 million on the 2013 SUSS Revolver and also used cash on the balance sheet to redeem our $425 million 8.5% senior unsecured notes on May 15, 2013. At current interest rates, this refinancing is expected to produce annual pre-tax savings in interest cost of $30 million to $32 million.
At the end of the second quarter 2013, we had borrowings of $220.1 million on the 2013 SUSS Revolver and $84.8 million on the SUSP Revolver. Our combined availability on both revolving facilities was $430.0 million at the end of the second quarter 2013, in addition to $29.4 million of cash on the balance sheet. At the end of the second quarter 2013, our consolidated net debt (total debt less cash and marketable securities) to last 12 months EBITDA was 1.6 times.

(1) | We include a store in the same store sales base in its thirteenth full month of our operation. |
| |
(2) | Effective September 25, 2012, the retail fuel margin reflects a reduction of approximately three cents per gallon as SUSP began charging a profit mark-up on gallons sold to our retail segment. Prior to this date, no gross profit mark-up was charged by the wholesale segment to the retail segment. Excluding the impact of this profit mark-up to SUSP for second quarter and first half 2013, the average retail margin would have been reported as 21.2 and 20.4 cents per gallon, respectively, or three cents higher. |
| |
(3) | The wholesale margin from third parties excludes sales and gross profit to the retail segment. Wholesale margin to Stripes reflects the markup of approximately three cents per gallon beginning September 25, 2012. Prior to this date, no profit margin was recognized in the wholesale segment on sales to Stripes stores. |
| |
(4) | We define EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Susser Holdings Corporation before net interest expense, income taxes, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest and depreciation, amortization and accretion. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA by excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense and certain other operating expenses |
that are reflected in our net income that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing core operations, such as significant non-recurring transaction expenses and the gain or loss on disposal of assets and impairment charges. Adjusted EBITDAR adds back rent to Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, those expenses that we have excluded from our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are also excluded in measuring our covenants under our debt agreements and indentures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are not presented in accordance with GAAP.
We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because:
| |
• | securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities; |
| |
• | they facilitate management’s ability to measure the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis by excluding the impact of items not directly resulting from our retail convenience stores and wholesale motor fuel distribution operations; |
| |
• | they are used by our management for internal planning purposes, including aspects of our consolidated operating budget, capital expenditures, as well as for segment and individual site operating targets; and |
| |
• | they are used by our Board and management for determining certain management compensation targets and thresholds. |
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income (loss) as measures of operating performance. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:
| |
• | they do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| |
• | they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital; |
| |
• | they do not reflect significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our existing revolving credit facilities or existing notes; |
| |
• | they do not reflect payments made or future requirements for income taxes; |
| |
• | although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements, and; |
| |
• | because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. |
Subsequent to the SUSP IPO, we revised our definition of EBITDA to exclude the impact of noncontrolling interest, in order to present a consolidated amount for EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR which is consistent with the metrics used by our management and in our credit agreement covenants. Prior to the SUSP IPO, the amount of noncontrolling interest was not material.

Another key metric we use to measure our performance is “Fuel-Margin-Neutral Adjusted EBITDAR”. This metric reflects Adjusted EBITDAR assuming a consistent fuel margin in each period being compared, to eliminate variability in performance due to fuel price volatility, credit card expenses (which increase or decrease with the absolute price of fuel), fluctuating fuel margins and changes in short-term competitive conditions. Growth in Fuel-Margin-Neutral Adjusted EBITDAR is therefore achieved through increasing merchandise sales and margins, increasing fuel gallons sold and controlling expenses. This metric is currently used to determine one-half of our management bonus compensation and is a primary performance criteria for equity awards. As shown in the table below, our Fuel-Margin-Neutral Adjusted EBITDAR, based on
our latest five-year average fuel margin, has grown in each of the last four annual periods, and is flat for the last twelve months ended June 30, 2013 compared the last twelve months ended July 1, 2012.

(1) | Adjusted EBITDAR is defined and reconciled to net income (loss) attributable to Susser Holdings Corporation in the preceding tables. |
| |
(2) | The retail segment adjustment was derived by taking the difference between the five-year average margin per gallon after credit cards (which for the five year period 2008 - 2012 was 14.7 cents per gallon) and the actual margin per gallon after credit cards, and multiplying it by the actual retail gallons sold. The difference between the five year average and actual fuel margin is shown above. A positive adjustment indicates the actual margin was less than the five year average, while a negative adjustment indicates the actual margin was greater than the five year average. Our presentation of fuel-margin-neutral Adjusted EBITDAR has been adjusted to eliminate the impact of the gross profit margin charged by SUSP to the retail segment subsequent to the SUSP IPO in September 2012. |
| |
(3) | The wholesale segment adjustment was derived by taking the difference between the five-year average third-party margin per gallon after credit cards (which for the five year period 2008 - 2012 was 5.5 cents per gallon) and the actual margin per gallon after credit cards, and multiplying it by the actual wholesale gallons sold to third parties. |
| |
(4) | Since our management bonus and discretionary 401(k) match are partly based on results including actual fuel margins, we also exclude these amounts to eliminate volatility related to fuel margins. |
| |
(5) | Calendar year periods compared to prior calendar year. Twelve-month period ended June 30, 2013 is compared to the twelve months ended July 1, 2012. |
Second Quarter 2013 Compared to Second Quarter 2012
The following discussion of results for second quarter 2013 compared to second quarter 2012 compares the 13-week period of operations ended June 30, 2013 to the 13-week period of operations ended July 1, 2012. During the second quarter of 2013 we operated an average of 563 retail stores, 22 more than in the second quarter of 2012.
On September 25, 2012, we contributed substantially all of our wholesale motor fuel distribution business to SUSP. We continue to consolidate the operations of SUSP in our financial results within our wholesale segment. Intercompany revenue and cost of sales is eliminated in our consolidated results. Effective with the SUSP IPO, SUSP began charging a profit margin, which is approximately three cents per gallon on gallons sold to our retail segment and on gallons we sell to consignment at independently operated locations. The profit mark-up on sales at consignment locations is eliminated within the wholesale segment. The mark-up to the retail segment transfers fuel gross profit from the retail to the wholesale segment, but does not change our consolidated fuel gross profit amount.
Total Revenue. Total revenue for second quarter 2013 was $1.6 billion, an increase of $47.4 million, or 3.1%, from second quarter 2012. The increase in total revenue was driven by an increase in merchandise sales of 8.5% and 4.1% increase in retail fuel revenue, partly offset by a 1.6% decrease in wholesale fuel revenue to third parties, as further discussed below.
Total Gross Profit. Total gross profit for second quarter 2013 was $168.0 million, a decrease of $11.8 million, or 6.6% from second quarter 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in fuel gross profit of $20.8 million. This was partly offset by an increase in merchandise gross profit of $7.8 million, as further discussed below. Included in these increases are the impact of new stores constructed or acquired during 2012 and 2013 ($8.4 million of growth in gross profit).
Merchandise Sales and Gross Profit. Merchandise sales were $274.7 million for second quarter 2013, an increase of $21.6 million, or 8.5% increase over second quarter 2012. The increase was due to a 2.2% merchandise same-store sales increase, accounting for $5.5 million of the increase, with the balance due to new stores built or acquired in 2012 and 2013. Merchandise same-store sales include food service sales but do not include motor fuel sales. Key categories contributing to the merchandise same-store sales increase were food service, packaged drinks, tobacco and candy.
Merchandise gross profit was $94.1 million for the second quarter 2013, a 9.0% increase over second quarter 2012, which was driven by the increase in merchandise sales. Merchandise margin as a percent of sales was 34.3% in the second quarter 2013 compared to 34.1% in the second quarter 2012. Key categories contributing to the merchandise gross profit dollar growth were food service, packaged drinks, candy and tobacco. Food service includes sales from restaurant operations, hot dogs, fountain beverages, coffee and other food and beverages prepared in the store. Our reported merchandise margins do not include other income from services such as ATM’s, lottery, prepaid phone cards, car washes and movie rentals.
Retail Motor Fuel Sales, Gallons and Gross Profit. Retail sales of motor fuel for second quarter 2013 were $805.9 million, an increase of $31.7 million, or 4.1% over second quarter 2012, driven by a 9.7% increase in retail gallons sold. The increase was partly offset by a 5.1% decrease in the average retail price of motor fuel, to $3.41 per gallon. We sold an average of approximately 32,500 gallons per retail store per week in the second quarter 2013, 5.5% more than second quarter 2012. Retail motor fuel gross profit decreased by $26.8 million or 38.4% from second quarter 2012 due to a decrease in the gross profit per gallon, offset by $6.7 million gross profit related to the increase in gallons sold. The average retail fuel margin decreased from 32.4 cents per gallon to 18.2 cents per gallon for second quarter 2012 and second quarter 2013, respectively. This decrease in fuel margin decreased retail fuel gross profit by $33.6 million. After deducting credit card fees, the net margin decreased from 26.8 cents per gallon to 12.7 cents per gallon from second quarter 2012 to second quarter 2013.
Beginning September 25, 2012, in connection with the SUSP IPO, our retail segment began paying a profit margin on gallons it purchased from SUSP. This increase in the fuel cost and corresponding reduction in fuel gross profit to the retail segment for second quarter 2013 was approximately $7.1 million, or three cents per gallon for gallons purchased. Wholesale segment gross profit was increased by $7.0 million on its sales to the retail segment. Other than a small difference due to timing of sales and purchases between the segments, consolidated SUSS fuel gross profit is not impacted by the implementation of this profit margin.
Wholesale Motor Fuel Sales, Gallons and Gross Profit. Wholesale motor fuel revenues to third parties for the second quarter 2013 were $459.5 million, a 1.6% decrease over second quarter 2012. The decrease was primarily driven by a 3.2% decrease in the wholesale selling price per gallon, partly offset by a 1.7% increase in gallons sold. Wholesale motor fuel gross profit of $17.1 million increased $6.0 million or 54.4% from second quarter 2012, due to the $7.0 million profit margin charged to the retail segment subsequent to September 25, 2012, and additional gallons sold, partly offset by a 10.5% decrease in the gross profit per gallon from third parties from 7.2 to 6.4 cents per gallon (responsible for a $1.2 million decrease in gross profit).
Other Revenue and Gross Profit. Other revenue of $13.9 million for second quarter 2013 increased by $1.3 million or 10.6% from second quarter 2012, with a $1.3 million or 10.3% increase in associated gross profit. $0.6 million of this increase related to an increase in rental income, $0.4 million increase in ATM income, $0.2 million increase in car wash income and a $0.1 million increase in lottery income.
Personnel Expense. Personnel expense consists primarily of retail store labor and overhead costs. For the second quarter 2013, personnel expense increased $5.8 million or 13.0% over second quarter 2012. Of the increase in personnel expense, $4.4 million was attributable to the new stores acquired or constructed during 2012 and 2013. As a percentage of merchandise sales, personnel expense increased by 70 basis points to 18.4% compared to last year, mostly attributable to start-up costs related to the increased number of new stores recently opened and additional training, partly offset by reduction in bonus and 401(k) match accrual of approximately $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2013 compared to second quarter 2012.
General and Administrative Expenses. For second quarter 2013, general and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased by $1.7 million, or 13.2%, from second quarter 2012. G&A expenses include non-cash stock-based compensation expenses which were $1.2 million for the second quarter 2013, compared to $1.7 million for the second quarter 2012. The remaining $1.2 million decrease was primarily due to a reduction in bonus accrual of $3.4 million during the second quarter 2013 compared to second quarter 2012, resulting from relative performance against internal targets. The second quarter of 2012 benefited from record fuel margins which resulted in higher bonus accruals. This was partly offset by increased public company expense related to SUSP.
Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses increased by $5.1 million or 13.0% over second quarter 2012. Operating expenses related to new stores accounted for $2.0 million of increased costs. Significant changes to operating expenses are presented in the table below.

Credit card expenses are directly tied to the cost of fuel and were 1.6% of retail fuel revenue for second quarter 2012 and second quarter 2013, respectively. The increase in other operating expenses is primarily related to the new stores and increased activity at existing stores. Excluding credit card fees, other operating expenses as a percentage of merchandise sales was 11.5% in second quarter 2013 compared with second quarter 2012 at 10.8%.
Gain/Loss on sale and disposal of assets and impairment charge. We recognized a net loss on sale and disposal of $0.7 million in the second quarter 2013 primarily related to asset sales.
Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion. Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense for second quarter 2013 of $15.1 million was up $2.6 million, or 20.6%, from second quarter 2012 due to the additional assets in service.
Income from Operations. Income from operations for second quarter 2013 was $33.4 million, compared to $58.3 million for second quarter 2012. The decrease is primarily attributed to lower retail fuel gross profit of $26.8 million, an increase in personnel and operating expenses, partly offset by higher wholesale fuel gross profit of $6.0 million and increased merchandise gross profit of $7.8 million, as described above.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter increased by $22.6 million over last year, primarily reflecting the non-recurring costs associated with the redemption of our $425 million 8.5% notes (2016 Notes) on May 15, 2013. The components of this additional cost are detailed in Note 10 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Tax. The income tax expense accrued for second quarter 2013 was less than $0.1 million, a decrease of $18.2 million from the second quarter of 2012. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 was 7.6% compared to 37.9% for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to the net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, which is primarily the limited partner interest held by the public in SUSP, is not taxable to SUSS for federal and state income tax purposes. SUSP is subject to Texas gross franchise tax and will be included in the SUSS consolidated Texas franchise tax return. See Note 11 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our income tax provision.
Net income attributed to noncontrolling interest. The noncontrolling interest share (49.9%) of SUSP's net income for the second quarter of 2013 was $4.8 million.
Net Income/Loss Attributable to Susser Holdings Corporation. We recorded net loss attributable to Susser Holdings Corporation for the second quarter 2013 of $4.3 million, compared to net income attributable to Susser Holdings Corporation of $29.8 million for 2012. The decrease is primarily due to the same factors impacting operating income and interest expense, as described above, and by the increase in noncontrolling interest related to SUSP. Included in net loss is the $26.2 loss on early extinguishment of debt, on a pre-tax basis. Excluding the non-recurring charges related to the redemption of our 2016 Notes, net income attributable to Susser Holdings Corporation was $12.5 million and diluted EPS was $0.59 for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for second quarter 2013 was $50.5 million, a decrease of $22.3 million, or 30.7% compared to second quarter 2012. Retail segment Adjusted EBITDA of $37.8 million decreased by $28.6 million, or 43.1% compared to second quarter 2012, primarily due to lower fuel gross profit, increased personnel costs, maintenance and credit card expense, partly offset by higher merchandise gross profit. Wholesale segment Adjusted EBITDA of $15.4 million increased by $7.1 million, or 85.3% from second quarter 2012, primarily resulting from the higher fuel gross profit related to the mark-up to the retail segment and increased gallons sold. Other segment Adjusted EBITDA reflects net expenses of $2.6 million for the quarter, compared to net expenses of $1.8 million for the same period in 2012.
First Half 2013 Compared to First Half 2012
The following discussion of results for first half 2013 compared to first half 2012 compares the 26-week period of operations ended June 30, 2013 to the 26-week period of operations ended July 1, 2012. During the first half of 2013 we operated an average of 561 retail stores, 20 more than in the first half of 2012.
Total Revenue. Total revenue for first half 2013 was $3.0 billion, an increase of $119.3 million, or 4.1%, from first half 2012. The increase in total revenue was driven by an increase in merchandise sales of 9.0% and a 5.2% increase in retail fuel revenue, partly offset by a 0.4% decrease in wholesale fuel revenue to third parties, as further discussed below.
Total Gross Profit. Total gross profit for first half 2013 was $315.0 million, an increase of $12.3 million, or 4.1% from first half 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in wholesale fuel gross profit of $14.1 million (including $13.5 million impact from the profit margin now charged to the retail segment) and an increase in merchandise gross profit of $13.9 million, partly offset by a decrease in retail fuel gross profit of $17.5 million, as further discussed below. Included in these increases are the impact of new stores constructed or acquired during 2012 and 2013 ($14.4 million of growth in gross profit).
Merchandise Sales and Gross Profit. Merchandise sales were $522.2 million for first half 2013, an increase of $43.0 million, or 9.0% increase over first half 2012. The increase was due to a 3.2% merchandise same-store sales increase, accounting for $15.0 million of the increase, with the balance due to new stores built or acquired in 2012 and 2013. Merchandise same-store sales include food service sales but do not include motor fuel sales. Key categories contributing to the merchandise same-store sales increase were food service, packaged drinks, beer, tobacco and snacks.
Merchandise gross profit was $176.0 million for the first half 2013, an 8.6% increase over first half 2012, which was driven by the increase in merchandise sales. Merchandise margin as a percent of sales was 33.7% in the first half 2013 compared to 33.8% in the first half 2012. Key categories contributing to the merchandise gross profit dollar growth were food service, packaged drinks and tobacco. Food service includes sales from restaurant operations, hot dogs, fountain beverages, coffee and other food and beverages prepared in the store. This increase was offset by a decline in cigarette gross profit. Our reported merchandise margins do not include other income from services such as ATM’s, lottery, prepaid phone cards, car washes and movie rentals.
Retail Motor Fuel Sales, Gallons and Gross Profit. Retail sales of motor fuel for first half 2013 were $1.6 billion, an increase of $78.3 million, or 5.2% over first half 2012, driven by an 8.5% increase in retail gallons sold. The increase was partly offset by a 3.1% decrease in the average retail price of motor fuel, to $3.46 per gallon. We sold an average of approximately 31,800 gallons per retail store per week in the first half 2013, 4.9% more than first half 2012. Retail motor fuel gross profit decreased by $17.5 million or 18.0% from first half 2012 due to an decrease in the gross profit per gallon, partly offset by $8.3 million gross profit related to the increase in gallons sold. The average retail fuel margin decreased from 23.0 cents per gallon to 17.4 cents per gallon for first half 2012 and first half 2013, respectively. This decrease in fuel margin decreased retail fuel gross profit by $25.9 million. After deducting credit card fees, the net margin decreased from 17.5 cents per gallon to 11.9 cents per gallon from first half 2012 to first half 2013.
Beginning September 25, 2012, in connection with the SUSP IPO, our retail segment began paying a profit margin on gallons it purchased from SUSP. This increase in the fuel cost and corresponding reduction in fuel gross profit to the retail segment for first half 2013 was approximately $13.6 million, or three cents per gallon for gallons purchased. Wholesale segment gross profit was increased by $13.4 million on its sales to the retail segment. Other than a small difference due to timing of sales and purchases between the segments, consolidated SUSS fuel gross profit is not impacted by the implementation of this profit margin.
Wholesale Motor Fuel Sales, Gallons and Gross Profit. Wholesale motor fuel revenues to third parties for the first half 2013 were $902.0 million, a 0.4% decrease over first half 2012. The decrease was primarily driven by a 2.9% decrease in the wholesale selling price per gallon, partly offset by 2.6% increase in gallons sold. Wholesale motor fuel gross profit of $32.2 million increased $14.1 million or 77.8% from first half 2012, due to the $13.5 million profit margin charged to the retail segment subsequent to September 25, 2012, additional gallons sold and a 0.6% increase in the gross profit per gallon from third parties from 6.1 cents to 6.2 cents per gallon (responsible for a $0.1 million increase).
Other Revenue and Gross Profit. Other revenue of $27.2 million for first half 2013 increased by $1.6 million or 6.2% from first half 2012, with a $1.9 million or 7.6% increase in associated gross profit. $0.8 million of this increase related to an increase in rental income, $0.6 million increase in ATM income and $0.5 million increase in car wash income.
Personnel Expense. Personnel expense consists primarily of retail store labor and overhead costs. For the first half 2013, personnel expense increased $14.9 million or 17.2% over first half 2012. Of the increase in personnel expense, $9.2 million was attributable to the new stores acquired or constructed during 2012 and 2013. As a percentage of merchandise sales, personnel expense increased by 140 basis points to 19.5% compared to last year, mostly attributable to additional training and start-up costs related to the large number of new stores recently opened, and higher benefit costs across all stores. Bonus and
401(k) match accrued for the first half of 2013 was approximately $1.0 million lower than in 2012, due to relative performance against internal targets.
General and Administrative Expenses. For first half 2013, general and administrative ("G&A") expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 5.9%, from first half 2012. G&A expenses include non-cash stock-based compensation expenses which were $2.8 million for the first half 2013, compared to $2.9 million for the first half 2012. The remaining $1.5 million increase was primarily due to increased professional fees, increased public company expense related to SUSP and additional support expenses related to additional stores, partly offset by a reduction of $3.7 million in bonus and 401(k) match accruals during that period related to performance against internal targets. The first half of 2012 benefited from record fuel margins which resulted in higher bonus accruals.
Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses increased by $8.6 million or 11.3% over first half 2012. Operating expenses related to new stores accounted for $3.7 million of increased costs. Significant changes to operating expenses are presented in the table below.

Credit card expenses are directly tied to the cost of fuel and were 1.6% of retail fuel revenue for both first half 2012 and first half 2013. The increase in other operating expenses is primarily related to the new stores and increased activity at existing stores. Excluding credit card fees, other operating expenses as a percentage of merchandise sales were 11.4% in the first half 2013 compared to the first half 2012 at 11.0%.
Gain/Loss on sale and disposal of assets and impairment charge. We recognized a net loss on sale and disposal of $1.1 million in the first half 2013 primarily related to asset sales.
Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion. Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense for the first half 2013 of $29.3 million was up $4.2 million, or 16.8%, from first half 2012 due to the additional assets in service.
Income from Operations. Income from operations for first half 2013 was $49.1 million, compared to $67.8 million for first half 2012. The decrease is primarily attributed to lower retail fuel gross profit of $17.5 million, an increase in personnel, G&A and operating expenses, partly offset by higher wholesale fuel gross profit of $14.1 million and increased merchandise gross profit of $13.9 million, as described above.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the first half increased by $22.3 million over last year, primarily reflecting the non-recurring costs associated with the redemption of our $425 million 8.5% notes (2016 Notes) on May 15, 2013. The components of this additional cost are detailed in Note 10 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Tax. The income tax expense accrued for first half 2013 was $1.6 million, which consisted of $0.3 million of expense attributable to the Texas franchise tax and $1.3 million of income tax expense related to the federal and state income tax. This is a decrease of $16.3 million from the first half of 2012. The effective tax rate for the first half of 2013 was 26.4%, compared to 37.9% for the first half of 2012. The decrease in effective rate was due to the net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, which is primarily the limited partner interest held by the public in SUSP, and is not taxable to SUSS for federal and state income tax purposes. SUSP is subject to Texas gross franchise tax and will be included in the SUSS consolidated Texas franchise tax return. See Note 11 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our income tax provision.
Net income attributed to noncontrolling interest. The noncontrolling interest share (49.9%) of SUSP's net income for the first half of 2013 was $8.9 million.
Net Income/Loss Attributable to Susser Holdings Corporation. We recorded net loss attributable to Susser Holdings Corporation for the first half 2013 of $4.5 million, compared to net income attributable to Susser Holdings Corporation of
$29.3 million for 2012. The decrease is primarily due to the same factors impacting operating income and interest expense, as described above, as well as the increase in noncontrolling interest related to SUSP. Included in net loss is the $26.2 loss on early extinguishment of debt, on a pre-tax basis. Excluding the non-recurring charges related to the redemption of our 2016 Notes, net income attributable to Susser Holdings Corporation was $12.3 million and diluted EPS was $0.58 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for first half 2013 was $82.3 million, a decrease of $13.5 million, or 14.1% compared to first half 2012. Retail segment Adjusted EBITDA of $59.6 million decreased by $26.0 million, or 30.4% compared to first half 2012, primarily due to lower fuel gross profit, increased personnel costs, maintenance and credit card expense partly offset by higher merchandise gross profit. Wholesale segment Adjusted EBITDA of $27.7 million increased by $14.2 million, or 104.8% from first half 2012, primarily resulting from the higher fuel gross profit related to the mark-up to the retail segment and increased gallons sold. Other segment Adjusted EBITDA reflects net expenses of $5.0 million for the first half 2013, compared to net expenses of $3.4 million for the same period in 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows from Operations. Cash flows from operations are our main source of liquidity. We rely primarily on cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary from time to time by borrowings under our revolving credit facility, sale/leaseback transactions, and other financing transactions to finance our operations, to service our debt obligations and to fund our capital expenditures. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, our operating cash flow is typically the lowest during the first quarter of the year since (i) sales tend to be lower during the winter months; (ii) we are building inventory in preparation for spring break and summer; and (iii) we pay certain annual operating expenses during the first quarter. The summer months are our peak sales months, and therefore our operating cash flow tends to be the highest during the second and third quarters.
Cash flows from operations were $27.4 million and $74.5 million for the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The change in our cash provided from operating activities for the respective periods was primarily attributable to changes in operating results as previously discussed, and changes in working capital. Our daily working capital requirements fluctuate within each month, primarily in response to the timing of motor fuel tax, sales tax and rent payments. We had $29.4 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2013, compared to $286.2 million cash and cash equivalents at December 30, 2012. The reduction in cash is primarily attributed to the redemption of the 2016 Notes in May 2013.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures, including investment in dealer supply agreements and other intangible assets but before any sale leasebacks and asset dispositions were $99.8 million and $67.3 million during the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the first half of 2013, we opened 10 new large-format retail stores and closed two smaller retail stores. Three additional stores have been opened to date in the third quarter. We currently have another 16 stores under construction. We expect to open a total of 28 to 30 new retail stores in 2013. We expect to add a total of 28 to 40 new dealer sites during 2013.
Following is a summary of our recent operating site additions and closures by segment:

During fiscal 2013, we plan to invest approximately $195 to $215 million, on a consolidated basis, in new retail stores, new dealer projects and acquisition of supply contracts, and maintenance and upgrade of our existing facilities. We plan to
finance the majority of this year's capital spending plan with cash flows from operations, revolver borrowings, liquidation of marketable securities, and cash balances. We currently expect we will be able to access any required financing for our new store program.
Other Investing Activities. During the six months of 2013, we funded a portion of our new store construction by selling and leasing back 12 newly-constructed Stripes® stores to SUSP, for a total of $52.5 million in proceeds, including $4.2 million from SUSP for adjustments to true-up estimated to final costs on eight stores previously sold to SUSP. SUSP funded these purchases by liquidating a portion of its marketable securities. The marketable securities serve as collateral for the SUSP Term Loan.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. At June 30, 2013, our outstanding debt was $402.3 million, cash and marketable securities on the balance sheet was $125.3 million. Our net debt position at the end of the quarter is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Additional details of our long-term debt are provided in Note 8 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on April 8, 2013 ("2013 SUSS Revolver"), which replaced the existing $100 million SUSS Revolver. The new facility provides for borrowings up to $500 million and matures on April 8, 2018. We drew approximately $233 million on the 2013 SUSS Revolver and also used cash on the balance sheet to redeem all of our outstanding $425 million 2016 Notes on May 15, 2013, at a redemption price of 104.25% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
During the first six months of 2013, we borrowed $52.5 million on SUSP Revolver which was used to repay the SUSP Term Loan. Additionally, we repaid $3.1 million on the SUSP Revolver. As of June 30, 2013, the balance outstanding on the SUSP Term Loan was $95.9 million, which was fully collateralized by marketable securities.
SUSP made a $4.8 million distribution to public unit holders on May 30, 2013, related to its operations for the first quarter of 2013, bringing the total distribution to public unitholders this year to $9.6 million. SUSP declared a distribution to its public unit holders of $4.9 million related to its second quarter 2013 results, payable August 29, 2013.
Long Term Liquidity. We expect that our cash flows from operations, cash on hand, lease and mortgage financing and our revolving credit facilities will be adequate to provide for our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Short-term liquidity under our revolving credit facilities at quarter-end is summarized below (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Total Capacity | | Amount Borrowed | | Outstanding Letters of Credit | | Available Capacity |

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements including capital expenditures, as well as the cost of potential acquisitions and new store openings, will depend on our future 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 from time to time consider opportunities to repay, redeem or repurchase our existing indebtedness, and although we may refinance all or part of our indebtedness in the
future, there can be no assurances that we will do so. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, acquisitions or other events may cause us to need 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 addition, any of the items discussed in detail under “Item A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10K may also significantly impact our liquidity.

(1) | Payments for 2013 through 2017 reflect required principal payments on our promissory notes. Assumes the outstanding balance of the 2013 SUSS Revolver at June 30, 2013 of $220.1 million, remains outstanding until the revolver matures in April 2018. Assumes the outstanding balance of the SUSP Revolver at June 30, 2013 of $84.8 million, remains outstanding until the revolver matures in September 2017. |
| |
(2) | Includes interest on promissory notes. Includes interest on revolving credit facilities and commitment fees on the facilities through their maturity dates, using amounts borrowed and rates in effect at June 30, 2013. |
| |
(3) | Some of our retail store leases require percentage rentals on sales and contain escalation clauses. The minimum future operating lease payments shown above do not include contingent rental expense, which historically have been insignificant. Some lease agreements provide us with an option to renew. We have not included renewal options in our future minimum lease amounts as the renewals are not reasonably assured. Our future operating lease obligations will change if we exercise these renewal options and if we enter into additional operating lease agreements. Includes vehicle leases with terms ranging from 36 to 50 months. |
| |
(4) | 2013 amounts are for the remaining second half of 2013, reflecting our current debt structure as previously described. |
Properties. Most of our leases are net leases requiring us to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. We believe that no individual site is material to us. The following table summarizes the number of owned and leased properties:

We lease our corporate and retail segment headquarters facility, which consists of approximately 83,000 square feet of office and warehouse space located in Corpus Christi. The annual lease expense is approximately $144,000 net of taxes, insurance and maintenance. We own the headquarters of our wholesale segment, which consists of approximately 43,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in Houston.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Critical accounting policies are those we believe are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012.
As one of our critical accounting policies, goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently, if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. There are no indicators of impairment as of June 30, 2013.
SUSP is a VIE as defined under GAAP. A VIE is legal entity whose equity owners do not have sufficient equity at risk or a controlling interest in the entity, or have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interest. As the general partner of SUSP, we have the sole ability to direct the activities of SUSP that most significantly impact SUSP's economic performance. Additionally, since our obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits from SUSP are significant to SUSP, we are SUSP's primary beneficiary and therefore we consolidate SUSP.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based on our financing, investing and cash management activities. We currently have a total of $400.7 million debt outstanding, on a consolidated basis, which bears interest at variable rates. The annualized effect of a one percentage point change in floating interest rates on our variable rate debt obligations outstanding at June 30, 2013, would be to change interest expense by approximately $4.0 million.
Our primary exposure relates to:
| |
• | Interest rate risk on short-term borrowings and |
| |
• | The impact of interest rate movements on our ability to obtain adequate financing to fund future acquisitions. |
We manage interest rate risk on our outstanding long-term and short-term debt through the use of fixed and variable rate debt. While we cannot predict or manage our ability to refinance existing debt or the impact interest rate movements will have on our existing debt, management evaluates our financial position on an ongoing basis.
From time to time, we enter into interest rate swaps to either reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our floating rate long-term debt or to take advantage of favorable variable interest rates compared to our fixed rate long-term debt. We had no interest swaps outstanding at December 30, 2012 or June 30, 2013.
We also periodically purchase motor fuel in bulk and hold in inventory. We hedge this inventory risk through the use of fuel futures contracts which are matched in quantity and timing to the anticipated usage of the inventory. We had 49 positions with a fair value of ($79,700) outstanding at December 30, 2012 and 173 positions with a fair value of ($247,700) outstanding at June 30, 2013.
For more information on our hedging activity, please see Note 8 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the second quarter of 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
From time to time, we make changes to our internal control over financial reporting that are intended to enhance its effectiveness and which do not have a material effect on our overall internal control over financial reporting. We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and will take action as appropriate.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are parties to various legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. We believe these actions are routine in nature and incidental to the operation of our business. While the outcome of these actions cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate resolutions of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or prospects.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012, as well as the section within this report entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” under Part I. Financial Information – Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, before making any investment decision with respect to our securities. The risks and uncertainties described in our annual report are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, could negatively impact our results of operations or financial condition in the future. If any of such risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
