Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2026

• We have designed our operating model to be cost-and-capital-efficient based on the following characteristics: (i) the Business requires a limited number of employees; (ii) relatively low operating costs, which generally result in high conversion of gross profit to Adjusted EBITDA and, similarly, an attractive margin profile; and (iii) adding wholesale and cardlock locations is not expected to require substantial…
• Additionally, our cost-and-capital-efficient operating model, relatively low leverage and stable and growing cash flow profile, are expected to position us to consistently convert a high level of Adjusted EBITDA into Discretionary Cash Flow, enabling us to prioritize the return of capital to stockholders in the form of consistent and growing cash dividends.
• Starting in the middle of 2024, ARKO Parent commenced a multi-year transformation plan to leverage its unique, multi-segment operating model to expand our wholesale fuel distribution network by converting a meaningful number of ARKO Retail Sites to dealer locations.
• We expect that ARKO Parent will convert a meaningful number of additional stores, and we expect that ARKO Parent will be largely complete by the end of 2027.
• We anticipate that these new fleet fueling locations will have a positive impact on our results of operations given the attractive, durable cash flow profile of our fleet fueling business.
• Our wholesale and fleet fueling businesses and the GPMP segment’s wholesale distribution of fuel to substantially all of the ARKO Retail Sites have provided stable, ratable cash flows that can be deployed to pursue accretive acquisitions and invest in our business, and we believe our significant size and scale aids our efforts to successfully deploy our growth strategies, which we anticipate will result in value…
• Additionally, we believe our low leverage profile and anticipated cash flows position us to consistently return capital to stockholders through dividends.
• Continued geopolitical uncertainty and evolving global supply dynamics may continue to contribute to volatility in fuel prices and margins in future periods, and sustained high diesel prices or diesel supply constraints could reduce gallons sold, compress fuel margins or increase our working capital needs in future period.
• The persistence of, or increase in, inflation could negatively impact the demand for our fuel, including due to consumers reducing travel, which could reduce sales volumes.
• We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors by allowing an understanding of key measures that we use internally for operational decision-making, budgeting, evaluating acquisition targets, and assessing our operating performance.
• Maintenance capital expenditures are capital expenditures made to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity, while growth and acquisition capital expenditures are capital expenditures that we expect will increase our operating income or operating capacity over the long-term.
• Additionally, we intend to distribute to our stockholders quarterly cash dividends taking into account Discretionary Cash Flow, after appropriate reserves for our working capital needs, investment capital expenditures, debt service and the prudent conduct of our business.
