Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026
- Our multi-year transformation plan (the “Transformation Plan”) includes targeted capital allocation toward strategic sub-segments of our retail stores, with the goal of increasing traffic and improving profitability.
- In 2026, we expect to complete more than 25 store remodels, of which 11 have been completed to date, all of which feature the fas craves food and beverage elements.
- We also plan to expand components of fas craves food and beverage to certain non-remodel stores where space permits prior to remodeling.
- Complementing our retail remodeling initiative, in the first nine months of 2026, we opened three new-to-industry (“NTI”) retail stores, and we plan to open four NTI Dunkin’ stores between now and early 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.
- Conversions of certain retail stores benefit both our retail and wholesale segments, as these sites have yielded, and we expect will continue to yield, greater profitability once converted.
- We expect to convert a meaningful number of additional stores, and we expect to be largely complete by the end of 2027.
- Because our core destination merchandise categories represent a high concentration of our merchandise contribution, we focus on marketing and merchandising initiatives within these categories because we believe that they will have the greatest impact on our performance.
- 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 products and services, 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.
- Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures, as well as the cost of 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.
