Segment Reporting

Note 22. SEGMENT REPORTING

We conduct our business in two segments: 1) the wholesale segment and 2) the retail segment.

The wholesale segment includes the wholesale distribution of motor fuel to lessee dealers and independent dealers. We have exclusive motor fuel distribution contracts with lessee dealers who lease the property from us. We also have exclusive distribution contracts with independent dealers to distribute motor fuel but do not collect rent from the independent dealers. Similar to lessee dealers, we had motor fuel distribution and lease agreements with DMS (through the April 2020 closing of the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets).

The retail segment includes the retail sale of motor fuel at retail sites operated by commission agents and the sale of convenience merchandise items and the retail sale of motor fuel at company operated sites. A commission agent site is a retail site where we retain title to the motor fuel inventory and sell it directly to our end user customers. At commission agent retail sites, we manage motor fuel inventory pricing and retain the gross profit on motor fuel sales, less a commission to the agent who operates the retail site. Similar to our wholesale segment, we also generate revenues through leasing or subleasing real estate in our retail segment.

Unallocated items consist primarily of general and administrative expenses, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, gains on dispositions and lease terminations, net, other income, interest expense and income tax expense. Total assets by segment are not presented as management does not currently assess performance or allocate resources based on that data.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, we changed our segment reporting to our chief operating decision maker to simplify the assessment of performance of our segments. Prior to the fourth quarter, the wholesale segment included the wholesale fuel gross profit on intersegment sales by our wholesale segment to our retail segment. Likewise, the wholesale segment included an allocation of operating expenses related to the operation of our sites consistent with the allocation of the overall fuel gross profit.

Starting in the fourth quarter of 2022, the wholesale segment includes only the fuel gross profit on sales to lessee dealers and independent dealers and the retail segment includes the entire fuel gross profit on sales at our company operated and commission agent sites. Likewise, operating expenses are allocated to each segment based on estimates of the level of effort expended on our 1) lessee and independent dealer business in our wholesale segment; and 2) company operated and commission site business in our retail segment.

This change simplifies the assessment of performance of our segments and eliminates the intersegment sales inherent in our prior segment reporting.

We have recast the results of our segments for periods prior to October 1, 2022 to be consistent with our new segment reporting. We also reassigned goodwill to our reporting units based on a relative fair value allocation approach as disclosed in Note 9.

Performance obligations are satisfied as fuel is delivered to the customer and as merchandise is sold to the consumer. Many of our fuel contracts with our customers include minimum purchase volumes measured on a monthly basis, although such revenue is not material. Receivables from fuel are recognized on a per-gallon rate and are generally collected within 10 days of delivery.

The balance of unamortized costs incurred to obtain certain contracts with customers was $10.9 million and $11.0 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Amortization of such costs is recorded against operating revenues and amounted to $1.7 million, $1.5 million and $1.2 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively

Receivables from rent and other lease-related charges are generally collected at the beginning of the month.
