Susser Petroleum Partners LP

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited

1. Organization and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are composed of Susser Petroleum Partners LP (the "Partnership", "SUSP", "we", "us" or "our"), a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, and its consolidated subsidiaries, which distribute motor fuels in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana. SUSP was formed in June 2012 by Susser Holdings Corporation (“SUSS” or the “Parent”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Susser Petroleum Partners GP LLC, our general partner. On September 25, 2012, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 10,925,000 common units representing limited partner interests.

SUSS currently owns 50.2% of the SUSP limited partner units, all of the incentive distribution rights and 100% of our general partner, which has a 0.0% non-economic general partner interest in SUSP. SUSS is the primary beneficiary of our earnings and cash flows and therefore SUSS consolidates us into their financial results.

On April 27, 2014, SUSS entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”) and certain other related entities, under which ETP will acquire the outstanding common shares of SUSS. By acquiring SUSS, ETP will also own the general partner interest and the incentive distribution rights in SUSP, and approximately 11 million SUSP common units (representing approximately 50.2% of SUSP’s outstanding units). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of SUSS will have the option to elect to receive either $80.25 in cash or 1.4506 ETP common units, or a combination of both, for each share held. The shareholder election is subject to proration to ensure that aggregate cash paid and common units issued will each represent 50% of the aggregate merger consideration. Unvested phantom units which were outstanding on April 27, 2014 will vest upon completion of the Merger.

SUSS’ board of directors has approved and adopted the Merger Agreement and has agreed to recommend that SUSS’ shareholders approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement. SUSS has also agreed not to directly or indirectly solicit competing acquisition proposals or, subject to certain exceptions with respect to unsolicited proposals, to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any alternative business combinations. The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including in connection with the acceptance of an alternative transaction, SUSS may be required to pay ETP a termination fee equal to $68 million. Completion of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including approval by SUSS shareholders and receipt of required regulatory approvals. The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by each of the parties thereto. Additional information may be found in SUSS' and our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.     

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and all of its subsidiaries. The Partnership operates in one operating segment, with primary operations conducted by the following consolidated wholly owned subsidiaries:

• Susser Petroleum Operating Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, distributes motor fuel to SUSS' retail and consignment locations, as well as third party customers in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

• T&C Wholesale LLC and Susser Energy Services LLC, both Texas limited liability companies, distribute motor fuels, propane and lubricating oils, primarily in Texas and Oklahoma.

• Susser Petroleum Property Company LLC (“PropCo”), a Delaware limited liability company, primarily owns and leases convenience store properties.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 Partnership and its subsidiaries, and all amounts at June 30, 2014 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014 are unaudited. Pursuant to Regulation S-X, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the 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.

The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on March 14, 2014.

4

Certain line items have been reclassified for presentation purposes. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Partnership revised its presentation of fuel taxes on motor fuel sales at its consignment locations to present such fuel taxes gross in motor fuel sales and motor fuel cost of sales to be consistent with its Parent's presentation of retail motor fuel sales. The effect of this immaterial error was to increase motor fuel sales and motor fuel cost of sales by $2.8 million and $12.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. This revision had no impact on gross margin, income from operations, net income and comprehensive income, or the balance sheets or statements of cash flows.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

FASB ASU No. 2014-09. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This update establishes a core principal requiring revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and any interim periods within those annual periods, that begin after December 15, 2016 and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective application, with early adoption not permitted. The Company has not yet determined the adoption method it will apply and the impact that this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

FASB ASU No. 2013-11. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Income Taxes - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists- Subtopic 740-10." An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, shall be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The ASU was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the presentation of our financial statements.

3. Accounts Receivable

6. 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 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014, we had $22.8 million of goodwill recorded in conjunction with past business combinations. The 2013 impairment analysis indicated no impairment in goodwill. As of June 30, 2014, we evaluated potential impairment indicators and we believe no indicators of impairment occurred during the second quarter of 2014, and we believe the assumptions used in the analysis performed in 2013 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 2014.

The Partnership has finite‑lived intangible assets recorded that are amortized. The finite‑lived assets consist of supply agreements, favorable/unfavorable leasehold arrangements, non-competes and loan origination costs, 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 Partnership's future cash flows. Supply agreements are being amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately five years. Favorable/unfavorable leasehold arrangements are being amortized over an average period of approximately 10 years. Non-competes are being amortized over the terms of the agreement and are included in other intangibles below. 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:

	December 31, 2013						June 30, 2014

Less: Current maturities	525		525
Long-term debt, net of current maturities	$	185,626	$	235,776

Term Loan and Security Agreement

On September 25, 2012, in connection with the IPO, we 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%. In order to obtain the SUSP Term Loan on more favorable terms, SUSP pledged investment grade securities in an amount equal to or greater than 98% of the outstanding principal amount of the SUSP Term Loan (the “Collateral Account”). The SUSP Term Loan was repaid and the Collateral Account was liquidated by the end of the first quarter of 2014.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On September 25, 2012, we entered into a $250 million revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks (the “SUSP Revolver”) expiring September 25, 2017. In December 2013, the SUSP Revolver commitments were increased by $150 million to a total of $400 million while retaining the ability to increase the SUSP Revolver by an additional $100 million. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at (i) a 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 our consolidated total leverage ratio). In addition, the unused portion of our revolving credit facility is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.50%, based on our consolidated total leverage ratio.

The SUSP Revolver requires us 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 our present and future personal property and all of the personal property of our guarantors, the capital stock of our subsidiaries, and any intercompany debt. Additionally, if our consolidated total leverage ratio exceeds 3.00 to 1.00 at the end of any fiscal quarter, we will be required, upon request of the lenders, to grant mortgage liens on all real property owned by the Partnership and its subsidiary guarantors.

As of June 30, 2014, the balance on the SUSP Revolver was $232.2 million, and $10.9 million in standby letters of credit were outstanding. The unused availability on the SUSP Revolver at June 30, 2014 was $156.9 million. SUSP was in compliance with all financial covenants at June 30, 2014.

Guaranty by SUSS of SUSP Term Loan and SUSP Revolver

SUSS entered into a Guaranty of Collection (the “Guaranty”) in connection with the SUSP Term Loan and the SUSP Revolver. Pursuant to the Guaranty, SUSS guarantees the collection of (i) the principal amount outstanding under the SUSP Term Loan and (ii) the SUSP Revolver. SUSS' obligation under the Guaranty is limited to $180.7 million. SUSS is not required to make payments under the Guaranty unless and until (a) SUSP has failed to make a payment on 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, SUSS entered into a Reimbursement Agreement with PropCo, whereby SUSS is obligated to reimburse PropCo for any amounts paid by PropCo under the guaranty of the SUSP Revolver executed by SUSP's subsidiaries.  SUSS' exposure under this reimbursement agreement is limited, when aggregated with its obligation under the Guaranty, to $180.7 million.

6

Other Debt

In August 2010 we entered into a mortgage note for an aggregate initial borrowing amount of $1.2 million. Pursuant to the terms of the mortgage note, we make monthly installment payments that are comprised of principal and interest through the maturity date of July 1, 2016. The balance outstanding at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014 was $1.1 million. The mortgage note bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.0%. The mortgage note is secured by a first priority security interest in a property owned by the Partnership.

In September 2013, we assumed a $3.0 million term loan obligation from SUSS as part of the contribution of net assets of Gainesville Fuel business ("GFI Contribution").  The term loan had an outstanding balance of $3.0 million as of June 30, 2014 and bears a 4.0% fixed rate.  

The estimated fair value of long-term debt is calculated using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of debt as of June 30, 2014, is estimated to be approximately $236.6 million, based on the current balance of the SUSP Revolver and an analysis of the net present value of remaining payments on the other notes payable at a rate calculated off U.S. Treasury Securities.

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.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Partnership leases certain convenience store and other properties under non-cancellable operating leases whose initial terms are typically 5 to 15 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. We typically are responsible for payment of real estate taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance. These properties are primarily sublet to third parties.

Interest expense, net	$	766		$	1,774		$	1,449		$	3,276

10. Income Tax

As a limited partnership, we are generally not subject to state and federal income tax, with the exception of the state of Texas.  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”). Our taxable income or loss, which may vary substantially from the net income or net loss reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, is includable in the federal and state income tax returns of each unitholder.  We are, however, subject to a statutory requirement that our non-qualifying income cannot exceed 10% of our total gross income, determined on a calendar year basis under the applicable income tax provisions. If the amount of our non-qualifying income exceeds this statutory limit, we would be taxed as a corporation. Accordingly, certain activities that generate non-qualifying income are conducted through a taxable corporate subsidiary, PropCo. PropCo is subject to federal and state income tax and pays any income taxes related to the results of its operations. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014, our non-qualifying income did not exceed the statutory limit.

11. Equity

As of June 30, 2014, SUSS owned 79,308 common units and 10,939,436 subordinated units, which together constitute a 50.2% ownership interest in us. As of June 30, 2014 the public owned 10,941,456 units.

Allocations of Net Income

Our partnership agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income and loss to the unitholders. For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, the partnership agreement specifies that items of income and loss shall be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interest. Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect, if any, to priority income allocations in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions allocated 100% to SUSS.

The calculation of net income allocated to the partners is as follows (in thousands, except per unit amounts):

Attributable to Common Units
	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013			June 30, 2014			June 30, 2013			June 30, 2014
Distributions (a)	$	4,953		$	5,761		$	9,739		$	11,297
Distributions in excess of income	(113		)	(978		)	(786		)	(1,430		)
Limited partners' interest in net income	$	4,840		$	4,783		$	8,953		$	9,867
Attributable to Subordinated Units
	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013			June 30, 2014			June 30, 2013			June 30, 2014
Distributions (a)	$	4,953		$	5,716		$	9,739		$	11,207
Distributions in excess of income	(113		)	(968		)	(786		)	(1,411		)
Limited partners' interest in net income	$	4,840		$	4,748		$	8,953		$	9,796
(a) Distributions declared per unit to unitholders as of record date	$0.4528			$0.5197			$0.8903			$1.0218

Cash Distributions

Our partnership agreement, as amended, sets forth the calculation to be used to determine the amount and priority of cash distributions that the common and subordinated unitholders will receive. The following table summarizes the cash distributions paid or payable for 2014.

Payment Date	Per Unit Distribution		Total Cash Distribution
			( in thousands)
February 28, 2014	$	0.4851	$	10,650
May 30, 2014	$	0.5021	$	11,026
August 29, 2014	$	0.5197	$	11,477

Incentive Distribution Rights

The following table illustrates the percentage allocations of available cash from operating surplus between the unitholders and SUSS (in its capacity as the holder of our incentive distribution rights or "IDRs") based on the specified target distribution levels. The amounts set forth under “marginal percentage interest in distributions” are the percentage interests of SUSS and the unitholders in any available cash from operating surplus we distribute up to and including the corresponding amount in the column “total quarterly distribution per unit target amount”. The percentage interests shown for our unitholders and SUSS for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution. The percentage interests set forth below for SUSS assume that there are no arrearages on common units and that SUSS continues to own all of the IDRs.

		Marginal percentage interest in distributions
	Total quarterly distribution per unit target amount	Unitholders		SUSS
Minimum Quarterly Distribution	$0.4375	100	%	—
First Target Distribution	Above $0.4375 up to $0.503125	100	%	—
Second Target Distribution	Above $0.503125 up to $0.546875	85	%	15	%
Third Target Distribution	Above $0.546875 up to $0.656250	75	%	25	%
Thereafter	Above $0.656250	50	%	50	%

Our distribution to limited partners declared for the second quarter of 2014 exceeded the "second target distribution" level, therefore SUSS will receive an incentive distribution payment of $64,000, in addition to its regular limited partner distribution.

12. Equity-Based Compensation

Unit-based compensation expense related to the Partnership that was included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2014		June 30, 2013		June 30, 2014
Phantom common units	$	183	$	123	$	306	$	232
SUSS allocated expense	218		654		500		1,252
Total equity-based compensation expense	$	401	$	777	$	806	$	1,484

Phantom Common Unit Awards

During 2014, 6,354 phantom unit grants have been issued. The fair value of each phantom unit on the grant date is equal to the market price of our common unit on that date reduced by the present value of estimated dividends over the vesting period, since the phantom units do not receive dividends until vested. The estimated fair value of our phantom units is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. Non-employee director awards vest over a one-to-three-year

10

period and employee awards vest ratably over a two-to-five-year service period. The fair value of nonvested service phantom units outstanding as of June 30, 2014, totaled $0.8 million which will be amortized to expense over the requisite service period.

A summary of our phantom unit award activity is set forth below:

	Number of Phantom Common Units		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2012	32,500		$	18.93
Granted	15,815		27.15
Vested	(11,352	)	21.50
Nonvested at December 31, 2013	36,963		21.66
Granted	6,354		33.24
Vested	(5,104	)	26.79
Forfeited	(3,000	)	18.42
Nonvested at June 30, 2014	35,213		$	23.22

13. Net Income per Unit

Net income per unit applicable to limited partners (including subordinated unitholders) is computed by dividing limited partners' interest in net income, after deducting any incentive distributions, by the weighted-average number of outstanding common and subordinated units. Our net income is allocated to the limited partners in accordance with their respective partnership percentages, after giving effect to any priority income allocations for incentive distributions to SUSS, the holder of the IDRs, pursuant to our partnership agreement which are declared and paid following the close of each quarter. Earnings in excess of distributions are allocated to the limited partners based on their respective ownership interests. Payments made to our unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of net income per unit.

In addition to the common and subordinated units, we have also identified the IDRs as participating securities and use the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners, which is based on the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per unit includes the effects of potentially dilutive units on our common units, consisting of nonvested phantom units. Basic and diluted net income per unit applicable to subordinated limited partners are the same because there are no potentially dilutive subordinated units outstanding.

We also disclose limited partner units issued and outstanding. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per unit computations is as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2014		June 30, 2013		June 30, 2014
	(in thousands, except units and per unit amounts)

14. Related-Party Transactions

We entered into two long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with SUSS in connection with our IPO, summarized as follows:

• Distribution contract - a 10-year agreement under which we are the exclusive distributor of motor fuel to SUSS' 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, at cost, including tax and transportation costs, plus a fixed profit margin of approximately three cents per gallon. In addition, all future motor fuel volumes purchased by SUSS for its own account will be added to the distribution contract pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement.

• Transportation contract - a 10-year transportation logistics agreement, pursuant to which SUSS will arrange for motor fuel to be delivered from our suppliers to our customers at rates consistent with those charged by SUSS 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 SUSS pursuant to which, among other things, we received a three-year option to purchase from SUSS up to 75 of SUSS' new or recently constructed Stripes® convenience stores at their cost and lease the stores back to them 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. We also received a ten-year right to participate in acquisition opportunities with SUSS, to the extent SUSP and SUSS are able to reach an agreement on terms, and the exclusive right to distribute motor fuel to certain of SUSS' newly constructed convenience stores and independently operated consignment locations. In addition, we agreed to reimburse our 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.

Summary of Transactions

Related-party transactions with SUSS are as follows:

• The Partnership sells motor fuel to SUSS for resale at its Stripes® convenience stores and independently operated consignment locations. Motor fuel sales to affiliates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, were $862.5 million and $1.6 billion, resulting in gross profit of $8.7 million and $17.1 million, respectively. Motor fuel sales to affiliates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, were $751.3 million and $1.5 billion, resulting in gross profit of $7.9 million and $15.4 million, respectively. Additionally, we collect credit card receipts from the motor fuel suppliers on SUSS' behalf.

• SUSS charged us for general and administrative services under the Omnibus Agreement for oversight of the Partnership. Such amounts include certain expenses allocated by SUSS for general corporate services, such as finance, internal audit and legal services, which are included in general and administrative expenses. These expenses were charged or allocated to the Partnership based on the nature of the expenses and our proportionate share of employee time and headcount, which management believes to be reasonable. SUSS charged us $0.9 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, including non-cash stock based compensation. SUSS charged us $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, including non-cash stock based compensation.

• We reimbursed SUSS for costs of employees supporting our operations of $3.6 million and $2.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $7.0 million and $5.3 million during the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

• We distributed $5.5 million and $10.8 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, to SUSS as regular distributions on its common and subordinated units.

• SUSS charged us for transportation services under the Transportation Contract for delivery of motor fuel to our customers of $14.3 million and $12.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $27.6 million and $24.2 million during the first six months of 2014 and 2013.

• We acquired six convenience store properties from SUSS for $31.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014. During the first six months of 2014, we acquired 13 convenience store properties from SUSS for $58.6 million, including final cost true-up adjustments. Since our IPO, we have acquired a total of 46 convenience store properties from SUSS, for a total cost of $191.7 million which also includes final true up adjustments, through June 30, 2014.

12

• We charged SUSS rent on the convenience store properties which were purchased by us and leased back to them. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we charged $3.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, to SUSS on these leases and $6.4 million and $2.1 million during the first six months of 2014 and 2013.

• Net accounts receivable from SUSS were $51.7 million and $49.9 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which are primarily related to fuel purchases from us.

Overview

We are a growth-oriented Delaware limited partnership formed by SUSS to engage in the primarily fee-based wholesale distribution of motor fuels to SUSS and third parties. We closed the initial public offering of our common units on September 25, 2012.

SUSS operated 636 retail convenience stores primarily under its proprietary Stripes® convenience store brand at quarter-end, primarily in growing Texas markets. Stripes is a leading independent chain of convenience stores in Texas based on store count and retail motor fuel volumes sold. Our business is integral to the success of SUSS' retail operations, and SUSS purchases substantially all of its motor fuel from us. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we distributed 293.2 million and 571.0 million gallons of motor fuel to Stripes® convenience stores and SUSS' consignment locations, and 168.6 million and 324.2 million gallons of motor fuel to other third party customers, respectively. We believe we are one of the largest independent motor fuel distributors by gallons in Texas, and among the largest distributors of Valero and Chevron branded motor fuel in the United States.

In addition to distributing motor fuel, we also distribute other petroleum products such as propane and lube oil, and we receive rental income from real estate that we lease or sublease. We purchase motor fuel primarily from independent refiners and major oil companies and distribute it throughout Texas and in Louisiana, New Mexico and Oklahoma to:

• Stripes® convenience stores, pursuant to the SUSS Distribution Contract;

14

• 86 other independently operated consignment locations where SUSS sells motor fuel to retail customers, also pursuant to the SUSS Distribution Contract;

• 17 independently operated consignment locations where we sell motor fuel under consignment arrangements to retail customers;

• 521 convenience stores and retail fuel outlets operated by independent operators, which we refer to as "dealers," pursuant to long-term distribution agreements; and

• approximately 1,900 other commercial customers, including unbranded convenience stores, other fuel distributors, school districts and municipalities and other industrial customers.

See Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding related party transactions.

On April 27, 2014, SUSS entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”) and certain other related entities, under which ETP will acquire the outstanding common shares of SUSS. By acquiring SUSS, ETP will also own the general partner interest and the incentive distribution rights in SUSP, and approximately 11 million SUSP common units (representing approximately 50.2% of SUSP’s outstanding units). Additional information is provided in Note 1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1) In December 2013, we revised our presentation of fuel taxes on motor fuel sales at our consignment locations to present such fuel taxes gross in motor fuel sales. Prior years' motor fuel sales have been adjusted to reflect this revision which also affects average wholesale selling price.

(2) We define EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect certain other non-recurring and non-cash items. We define distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, cash state franchise tax expense, maintenance capital expenditures, and other non-cash adjustments. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because:

• Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance measure under our revolving credit facility;

• securities analysts and other interested parties use such metrics as measures of financial performance, ability to make distributions to our unitholders and debt service capabilities;

• they are used by our management for internal planning purposes, including aspects of our consolidated operating budget, and capital expenditures; and

• distributable cash flow provides useful information to investors as it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance, as it provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income (loss) as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have limitations as analytical tools, and one 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 total 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 interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our revolving credit facility or term loans;

• 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 and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements; and

• because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following tables present a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended

Second Quarter 2014 Compared to Second Quarter 2013

The following discussion of results compares the operations ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Revenue. Total revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $1.4 billion, an increase of $255.1 million, or 22.8%, from the second quarter of 2013. Motor fuel sales to third parties increased $141.5 million, or 38.6%. This increase consisted of a 34.9% increase in gallons sold and a 2.7% increase in the third-party wholesale selling price per gallon of motor fuel. Motor fuel sales to affiliates increased $111.2 million, or 14.8%, from the second quarter of 2013. This increase consisted of a 11.0% increase in gallons sold to affiliates and a 3.5% increase in the wholesale selling price of motor fuel. Rental revenue of $4.3 million during the quarter increased by $2.1 million from the second quarter of 2013 due to the acquisition and subsequent leaseback of 26 convenience store locations from SUSS.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2014 was $22.2 million, an increase of $5.2 million, or 30.9%, over the second quarter of 2013. Gross profit on motor fuel sales to third parties increased $2.3 million primarily due to additional gallons sold related to new sites. The sales price of motor fuel sold to third parties increased by 8.0 cents per gallon while the cost of fuel increased 8.0 cents per gallon resulting in a flat 4.9 cents per gallon gross profit for both periods. SUSP sold fuel to affiliates at a gross profit of approximately 3.0 cents per gallon, resulting in $8.7 million gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 due to increased gallons. Other gross profit of $5.1 million increased by $2.2 million from the second quarter of 2013, which was primarily attributable to rental income and an increase in oil and lube product sales related to the Gainesville acquisition.

Total Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $10.7 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 66.7%, from the second quarter of 2013, partly due to the increase in volumes sold. Approximately $1.8 million of this total increase is directly attributed to the Gainesville Fuel acquisition completed in September 2013. For the second quarter of 2014, general and administrative expenses, or G&A expenses, increased by $1.7 million, or 47.2%, from 2013. The increase is primarily due to increased costs of salaries and benefits along with increased headcount and an increase of $0.4 million in non-cash stock compensation expense compared to the second quarter of 2013. Other operating expenses increased $1.2 million, or 210.0%, primarily related to an increase in truck fuel and maintenance expense of $0.8 million associated with the recent Gainesville acquisition. Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense for the second quarter of 2014 of $3.3 million was up $1.5 million, or 81.4%, from 2013 due to an increase in assets being placed into service since the second quarter of 2013.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased due to the increase in SUSP Revolver borrowings, partly offset by payoff of the SUSP Term Loan debt.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense accrued for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 was approximately $0.1 million. The effective tax rate for second quarter of 2014 was 1.2% compared to 0.9% in 2013. See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding income tax expense.

First Half 2014 Compared to First Half 2013

Revenue. Total revenue for the first half of 2014 was $2.6 billion, an increase of $381.3 million, or 17.2%, from the first half of 2013. Motor fuel sales to third parties increased $229.3 million, or 31.7%. The third party wholesale selling price per gallon of motor fuel decreased 2.0%, offset by gallons sold to third parties which increased 34.6%. Motor fuel sales to affiliates increased $146.6 million, or 9.9%, from the first half of 2013. The increase consisted of 10.8% increase in gallons sold to affiliates, offset by a 1.0% decrease in the wholesale selling price of motor fuel. Rental revenue of $8.3 million increased by $4.4 million from last year due to the acquisition and subsequent leasebacks of 26 convenience store locations from SUSS since the second quarter 2013.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first half of 2014 was $44.3 million, an increase of $11.8 million, or 36.3%, over the first half of 2013. Gross profit on motor fuel sales to third parties increased $5.3 million primarily due to additional gallons sold related to new sites. The sales price of motor fuel sold to third parties decreased by 6.0 cents per gallon while the cost of fuel decreased 7.0 cents per gallon resulting in a 1.0 cent per gallon increase in gross profit. SUSP sold fuel to affiliates at a gross profit of approximately 3.0 cents per gallon, resulting in $17.1 million and $15.4 million gross profit for the first half 2014 and 2013, respectively, due to increased gallons sold. Other gross profit of $10.0 million increased by $4.8

17

million from last year, primarily attributed to additional rent income and an increase in oil and lube product sales related to the Gainesville acquisition.

Total Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the first half of 2014 were $21.2 million, an increase of $8.2 million, or 63.0%, from the first half of 2013. Approximately $3.4 million of this total increase is directly attributed to the Gainesville Fuel acquisition completed in September 2013. For the first half of 2014, general and administrative expenses, or G&A expenses, increased by $2.7 million, or 35.7%, from 2013. The increase in G&A was primarily attributable to increased cost of salaries, bonus and benefits related to annual compensation increases and headcount additions during 2014. Also included in G&A expense is $1.5 million of non-cash stock compensation expense, an increase of $0.7 million compared to the prior year. Other operating expenses increased $2.6 million, or 216.5%, primarily related to an increase in truck fuel and maintenance expense associated with recent Gainesville acquisition. Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense for the first half of 2014 of $6.7 million was up $3.0 million, or 82.0%, from 2013 due to an increase in assets being placed into service since the first half of 2013.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased due to the increase in SUSP Revolver borrowings offset by the payoff of the SUSP Term Loan.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $0.1 million in the first half of 2014 compared to $0.2 million in the first half of 2013. The effective tax rate for the first half of 2014 was 0.6% compared to 0.9% for the first half of 2013. See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding income tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance current operations, fund capital expenditures, including acquisitions from time to time, to service our debt and to make distributions. We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the issuance of long-term debt or additional partnership units as appropriate given market conditions. We expect that these sources of funds will be adequate to provide for our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures, as well as make acquisitions, will depend on our future operating performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. As a normal part of our business, depending on market conditions, we will from time to time consider opportunities to repay, redeem, repurchase or refinance our indebtedness. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, acquisitions or other events may cause us to seek additional debt or equity financing in future periods. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions. In addition, any of the items discussed in detail under "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K may also significantly impact our liquidity.

We had $8.2 million and $6.8 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014 respectively, all of which were unrestricted.

Cash Flows Provided by Operations. We rely primarily on cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary from time to time by borrowings under our revolving credit facility and other debt or equity transactions to finance our operations, to service our debt obligations, and to fund our capital expenditures. Our daily working capital requirements fluctuate within each month, primarily in response to the timing of payments for motor fuel, motor fuel tax and rent. Cash flows from operations were $37.5 million and $11.8 million for the first six months of 2013 and 2014, respectively. The difference from prior year is primarily due to changes in working capital.

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures, including purchase of intangibles, were $57.9 million and $67.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Included in our capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was $67.6 million in expansion capital of which $58.6 million related to the purchase and leaseback transactions with SUSS, $9.0 million related to the purchase of dealer locations and other growth capital projects, including new dealer supply contracts, and $0.3 million in maintenance capital. Our capital spending program is focused on expanding our wholesale distribution network and maintaining our owned properties and equipment. Capital expenditure plans are generally evaluated based on return on investment and estimated incremental cash flow. We develop annual capital spending plans based on historical trends for maintenance capital, plus identified projects for new sites and revenue-generating capital. In addition to the annually recurring capital expenditures, potential acquisition opportunities are evaluated based on their anticipated return on invested capital, accretive impact to operating results, and strategic fit.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. At June 30, 2014 we had $232.2 million borrowed under our $400 million revolving credit facility, the ("SUSP Revolver"), an increase of $76.0 million compared to December 31, 2013, and $10.9 million in standby letters of credit. Of the amount borrowed in 2014 on the SUSP revolver, $25.9 million was used to pay down the SUSP Term Loan. The unused availability on the SUSP Revolver at June 30, 2014 was $156.9 million, and we were in compliance with all covenants. See Note 7 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the SUSP Revolver.

We intend to pay a cash distribution to the holders of our common and subordinated units on a quarterly basis, to the extent we have sufficient cash from our operations after establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees and expenses, including payments to our general partners and its affiliates. We do not have a legal obligation to pay this distribution. Our minimum quarterly distribution of $0.4375 per common and subordinated unit equates to approximately $9.6 million per quarter, or $38.4 million per year, based on the number of common and subordinates units currently outstanding. We paid a cash distribution to shareholders in May 2014 of $11.0 million. On August 4, 2014, we declared a quarterly distribution totaling $11.4 million, or 0.5197 per unit based on the results for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The distribution will be paid on August 29, 2014 to unitholders of record on August 19, 2014. The distribution declared for the second quarter results in our first incentive distribution payment, per our limited partnership agreement, of $64 thousand to SUSS.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Contractual Obligations. We have contractual obligations which are required to be settled in cash. As of June 30, 2014, we have $232.2 million borrowed on the SUSP Revolver compared to $156.2 million borrowed at December 31, 2013. The SUSP Revolver matures 2017. The outstanding balance on our term loan was $25.9 million as of December 31, 2013 and was fully repaid in the first quarter of 2014. See Note 7 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our debt transactions.

We periodically enter into derivatives, such as futures and options, to manage our fuel price risk on inventory in the distribution system. Fuel hedging positions are not significant to our operations.

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:

	As of June 30, 2014
	Owned	Leased
Operating sites:
Wholesale dealer and consignment sites	48	12
Stripes locations	46	—

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

19

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 31, 2013.

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 $400.0 million revolving credit facility which bears interest at variable rates. We had $232.2 million outstanding borrowings on the SUSP Revolver at June 30, 2014. The annualized effect of a one percentage point change in floating interest rates on our variable rate debt obligations outstanding at June 30, 2014, would be to change interest expense by approximately $2.3 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.

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 may enter into interest rate swaps to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our floating rate debt. We had no interest rate swaps in effect during the first six months of 2013 or 2014. We periodically enter into derivatives, such as futures and options, to manage our fuel price risk on inventory in the distribution system. Fuel hedging positions are not significant to our operations.

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 at the reasonable assurance level for which they were designed in 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 2014 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.
