Description of Business and Other Disclosures

Note 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OTHER DISCLOSURES

Our business consists of:

the wholesale distribution of motor fuels;
the owning or leasing of sites used in the retail distribution of motor fuels and, in turn, generating rental income from the lease or sublease of the sites;
the retail sale of motor fuels to end customers at retail sites operated by commission agents and ourselves; and
the operation of retail sites, including the sale of convenience merchandise to end customers.

Interim Financial Statements

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the Exchange Act. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to keep the information presented from being misleading. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K. Financial information as of June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included in the consolidated financial statements has been derived from our unaudited financial statements. Financial information as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from our audited financial statements and notes thereto as of that date.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. Our business exhibits seasonality due to our wholesale and retail sites being located in certain geographic areas that are affected by seasonal weather and temperature trends and associated changes in retail customer activity during different seasons. Historically, sales volumes have been highest in the second and third quarters (during the summer activity months) and lowest during the winter months in the first and fourth quarters.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results and outcomes could differ from those estimates and assumptions. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances could result in revised estimates and assumptions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met to ease an entity’s financial reporting burden as the market transitions from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 to clarify the scope of Topic 848 and ASU 2022-06 to defer the sunset date of Topic 848. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied through December 31, 2024. This guidance applied to our hedge accounting and hedge documentation as further discussed in Note 8, but did not have a material effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.

Certain other new accounting pronouncements have become effective for our financial statements during 2023, but the adoption of these pronouncements did not materially impact our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

Concentration Risk

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, our wholesale business purchased approximately 80% and 81% of its motor fuel from four suppliers. Approximately 23% and 24% of our motor fuel gallons sold for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were delivered by two carriers.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, approximately 18% and 21% of our rent income was from two multi-site operators.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, approximately 47% and 48% of our merchandise was purchased from one supplier.
