CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OTHER DISCLOSURES

Description of Business

On October 1, 2014, CST Brands, Inc. (“CST”) completed the purchase of 100% of the membership interests in Lehigh Gas GP LLC (the “General Partner”) and 100% of the incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) of Lehigh Gas Partners LP. After the purchase of the membership interests in its General Partner, the name of Lehigh Gas Partners LP was changed to CrossAmerica Partners LP (“we,” “us,” “our,” “CrossAmerica” or “Company”). The General Partner manages our operations and business activities. The General Partner is managed and operated by the executive officers of the General Partner, under the oversight of the Board of Directors of the General Partner. As a result of the acquisition of the membership interests in the General Partner, CST controls the General Partner and has the right to appoint all members of the board of directors of the General Partner.

Our business consists of:


•	the wholesale distribution of motor fuels;


•	the retail distribution of motor fuels to end customers at sites operated by commission agents or CrossAmerica;


•	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; and


•	the operation of convenience stores.

The financial statements are comprised of CrossAmerica and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. CrossAmerica’s primary operations are conducted by the following consolidated wholly owned subsidiaries:


•	Lehigh Gas Wholesale LLC (“LGW”), which distributes motor fuels on a wholesale basis and generates qualified income under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;


•	LGP Realty Holdings LP (“LGPR”), which functions as the real estate holding company of CrossAmerica and holds the assets that generate rental income that is qualifying under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and

•

Lehigh Gas Wholesale Services, Inc. (“LGWS”), which owns and leases (or leases and sub-leases) real estate and personal property used in the retail distribution of motor fuels, as well as provides maintenance and other services to its customers. In addition, LGWS distributes motor fuels on a retail basis and sells convenience merchandise items to end customers at Company operated retail sites and sells motor fuel on a retail basis at sites operated by commission agents. Income from the retail distribution of motor fuels and rental income from leases of real property to a related party is not qualifying income under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code.

As part of our relationship with CST, we plan to purchase interests in CST’s wholesale motor fuel supply business (“CST Fuel Supply”) over time. In January 2015 and again in July 2015, we closed on the purchase of a 5% and 12.5%, respectively, limited partner equity interests in CST Fuel Supply. As of August 5, 2015, our total equity interest in CST Fuel Supply is 17.5%.

Interim Financial Statements

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (“Form 10-K”). Financial information as of June 30, 2015 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 included in the condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements has been derived from our unaudited financial statements. Financial information as of December 31, 2014 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, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. Our business exhibits substantial 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

CROSSAMERICA PARTNERS LP

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

Reclassifications

The statement of operations was revised from the presentation included in our Form 10-K to conform to that presented in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed by CST. As a result, certain reclassifications were made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or equity for any periods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 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.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies described in our Form 10-K.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-06—Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions, which requires that for purposes of calculating historical earnings per unit under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of a transferred business before the date of a dropdown transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. This guidance is effective January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis for all financial statements presented. Management is currently evaluating this new guidance, including how it will apply the guidance at the date of adoption.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03—Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This guidance is effective January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. If the guidance were applicable at June 30, 2015, other noncurrent assets and long-term debt would be lower by $6.1 million.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which results in comprehensive new revenue accounting guidance, requires enhanced disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized, and develops a common revenue standard under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Specifically, the core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. This guidance is effective January 1, 2018, pending issuance of the final Accounting Standards Update. Early adoption is not permitted. The guidance can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Management is currently evaluating this new guidance, including how it will apply the guidance at the date of adoption.

Certain other new financial accounting pronouncements have become effective for our financial statements and the adoption of these pronouncements will not affect our financial position or results of operations, nor will they require any additional disclosures.

Concentration Risk

Dunne Manning Stores LLC (formerly known as Lehigh Gas-Ohio, LLC) (“DMS” or “affiliated dealer”) is an operator of retail sites that purchases a significant portion of its motor fuel requirements from us on a wholesale basis and then re-sells motor fuel on a retail basis. DMS also leases real estate from us. The financial results of DMS are not consolidated with ours. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, CrossAmerica distributed approximately 17% of its total wholesale distribution volumes to DMS and DMS accounted for approximately 42% of our rental income. For more information regarding transactions with DMS, see Note 9.

CROSSAMERICA PARTNERS LP

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, CrossAmerica’s wholesale business purchased approximately 27%, 25% and 23% of its motor fuel from ExxonMobil, BP and Motiva, respectively. No other fuel suppliers accounted for 10% or more of CrossAmerica’s fuel purchases in the first half of 2015.

As of August 5, 2015, CrossAmerica’s total equity interest in CST Fuel Supply is 17.5%. Valero Energy Corporation (“Valero”) supplied substantially all of the motor fuel purchased by CST Fuel Supply for resale to CST’s U.S. Retail segment during 2015. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, CST Fuel Supply purchased $1.1 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, of motor fuel from Valero.

The store personnel at the convenience stores we acquired from Petroleum Marketers Incorporated (“PMI”) are employees of Pinehurst Services LLC (“Pinehurst”), to which we pay a management fee pursuant to the terms of an employee staffing agreement. Pinehurst employs approximately 650 people that support our PMI convenience store operations and is owned and managed by an unrelated party. We incurred $5.0 million and $11.1 million in management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, under the employee staffing agreement, which is primarily included in operating expenses on the statement of operations.

Note 2. ACQUISITIONS

Purchase (“Drop Down”) of CST Wholesale Fuel Supply Equity Interests

In January 2015, we closed on the purchase of a 5% limited partner equity interest in CST Fuel Supply in exchange for approximately 1.5 million common units with an aggregate consideration of $60.0 million on the date of closing. In July 2015, we closed on the purchase of an additional 12.5% limited partner equity interest in CST Fuel Supply in exchange for approximately $3.3 million common units and cash in the amount of $17.5 million, with an aggregate consideration of approximately $110.9 million on the date of closing. These transactions were approved by the conflicts committee of the General Partner and the executive committee of and full board of directors of CST.

As of August 5, 2015, CrossAmerica’s total equity interest in CST Fuel Supply is 17.5%, and CST’s total equity interest in CrossAmerica is 15.9%.

Because these transactions were between entities under common control, the excess of the purchase price paid by CrossAmerica over the carrying value recorded on CST’s balance sheet is recorded as a distribution to CST in CrossAmerica’s consolidated equity.

See Note 9 for additional information.

Acquisition of Landmark Industries Stores (“Landmark”)

In January 2015, CST and CrossAmerica jointly purchased 22 convenience stores from Landmark. CrossAmerica purchased the real property of the 22 fee sites as well as certain wholesale fuel distribution assets for $41.2 million.

LGWS leases the acquired real property to CST under triple net leases at a lease rate per annum of 7.5% of the fair value of the leased property on the acquisition date and LGW distributes wholesale motor fuel to CST under long term agreements with a fuel gross profit margin of approximately $0.05 per gallon.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired at the acquisition date (in thousands):



Property and equipment	$	24,129
Other assets	4,399
Goodwill	12,681
Total consideration	$	41,209

The fair value of property and equipment, which consisted of land, buildings and equipment, was based on a cost approach. The buildings and equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line basis, with estimated useful lives of 20 years.

The other assets consist of net deferred tax assets associated with the difference between the book and tax bases of the net assets acquired.

A substantial portion of the goodwill represents the value that would have been allocated to wholesale fuel distribution rights. However, because the acquired wholesale fuel distribution rights relate to entities under common control under U.S. GAAP, this

CROSSAMERICA PARTNERS LP

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

identifiable intangible is not permitted to be recognized and therefore the value has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill has been assigned to the Wholesale segment.

Aggregate incremental revenues since the closing of the Landmark acquisition included in CrossAmerica’s statement of operations were $19.5 million and $31.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

Acquisition of Erickson Oil Products, Inc. (“Erickson”)

In February 2015, CrossAmerica closed on the purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of Erickson and separate purchases of certain related assets with an aggregate purchase price of $81.9 million, net of $3.0 million of cash acquired, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. These transactions resulted in the acquisition of a total of 64 retail sites located in Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin and South Dakota.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):



Current assets (excluding inventories)	$	4,080
Inventories	8,484
Property and equipment	75,232
Intangible assets	14,010
Goodwill	30,019
Current liabilities	(19,818		)
Deferred tax liabilities	(27,602		)
Asset retirement obligations	(2,204		)
Other liabilities	(273		)
Total consideration, net of cash acquired	$	81,928

The fair value of inventory was estimated at retail selling price less estimated costs to sell and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort.

The $11.7 million fair value of the wholesale fuel distribution rights included in intangibles was based on an income approach and management believes the level and timing of cash flows represent relevant market participant assumptions. The wholesale fuel distribution rights are being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately 10 years.

Goodwill recorded is primarily attributable to the deferred tax liabilities arising from the application of purchase accounting. Management is reviewing the valuation and confirming the result to determine the final purchase price allocation. Of the goodwill recorded, $9.0 million was assigned to the Wholesale segment and $21.0 million was assigned to the Retail segment.

Our pro forma results, assuming we acquired Erickson on January 1, 2014, would have been (in thousands):

Net income (loss) per limited partnership unit	$	(0.01	)	$	0.03	$	(0.13	)	$	0.03

Subsequent Event—Purchase of New to Industry (“NTI”) Convenience Stores

In July 2015, we completed the purchase of real property at 29 NTIs from CST in exchange for an aggregate consideration of approximately 0.3 million common units and cash in the amount of $124.4 million, with an aggregate consideration of $134.0

CROSSAMERICA PARTNERS LP

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

million on the date of closing. This transaction was approved by the conflicts committee of the General Partner and the executive committee of and full board of directors of CST.

Subsequent Event—Acquisition of One Stop

In July 2015, CrossAmerica completed the purchase of the 41 company-operated One Stop convenience store network based in Charleston, West Virginia, along with four commission agent sites, nine dealer fuel supply agreements and one freestanding franchised quick service restaurant for approximately $41.9 million in cash.

Note 3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

CrossAmerica has classified five sites as held for sale at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. These assets are expected to be sold in 2015. Assets held for sale (at cost) were as follows (in thousands):

Letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 totaled $16.4 million for both periods. The amount of availability at June 30, 2015 under the revolving credit facility, after taking into account outstanding letters of credit and debt covenant constraints, was $139.5 million. Subsequent to the July 2015 acquisitions discussed in Note 2, the availability for future borrowings was approximately $98.9 million. In connection with future acquisitions, the revolving credit facility requires, among other things, that we have, after giving effect to such acquisition, at least $20.0 million of borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility and unrestricted cash on the balance sheet on the date of such acquisition.

In connection with the Rocky Top acquisition that we completed on September 24, 2013, we entered into a lease for certain sites which obligates CrossAmerica to purchase these sites, at the election of the lessor, either (a) in whole on or about August 1, 2015, or (b) in approximately equal parts over a 5 year period for an average of $5.3 million per year beginning in 2016. At December 31, 2014, CrossAmerica classified the entire balance of the financing obligation associated with the Rocky Top acquisition as current due to the possibility that CrossAmerica would be required to fund the obligation in 2015. In 2015, the sellers gave notice that the option of requiring a purchase of the sites on August 1, 2015 would not be exercised, and CrossAmerica reclassified $20.8 million to noncurrent in 2015.

Financial Covenants and Interest Rate

The Company’s revolving credit facility contains financial covenants consisting of a Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters of less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 and a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of greater than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2015, CrossAmerica was in compliance with these covenants.

Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate plus a margin of 3.25%. Our borrowings had an interest rate of 3.44% as of June 30, 2015.

Note 9. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with CST

Fuel Sales and Rental Income

Beginning in 2015, CrossAmerica sells motor fuel to CST under a master fuel distribution agreement and leases certain retail sites to CST under a master lease agreement having initial 10-year terms. The fuel distribution agreement provides CrossAmerica with a fixed wholesale mark-up per gallon and the master lease agreement is a triple net lease.

Revenues from fuel sales and rental income from CST were as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Revenues from fuel sales to CST	$	41,134	$	—	$	69,674	$	—
Rental income from CST	1,051		—		2,077		—

Receivables from CST were $4.4 million and $3.2 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, related to these transactions.

Purchase of CST Fuel Supply Equity Interests

We accounted for the January 2015 purchase of equity interests in CST Fuel Supply based on the carrying value recorded on CST’s balance sheet, which amounted to $0.4 million at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price paid by CrossAmerica over the carrying value on CST’s balance sheet was recorded in equity as a distribution to CST in the amount of $59.6 million.

CrossAmerica accounts for the equity interest in the net income of CST Fuel Supply as “Income from CST Fuel Supply” on its statement of operations, which amounted to $1.2 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

As discussed in Note 2, in July 2015, we purchased additional equity interests in CST Fuel Supply.

Transactions with DMS

DMS is an entity affiliated with Joseph V. Topper, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer and member of the board of directors of the General Partner. DMS is an operator of convenience stores that purchases all of its motor fuel requirements from us on a wholesale basis. DMS also leases certain retail site real estate from us in accordance with a master lease agreement between DMS and CrossAmerica.

Motor fuel is sold to DMS at our cost plus a fixed mark-up per gallon. Receivables from DMS totaled $12.8 million and $10.3 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Omnibus Agreement and Management Fees

In connection with our initial public offering on October 30, 2012 (the “IPO”), we entered into an Omnibus Agreement (the “Original Omnibus Agreement”) by and among CrossAmerica, the General Partner, Dunne Manning Inc. (“DMI”), DMS and, for limited purposes, Joseph V. Topper, Jr. CrossAmerica incurred $1.7 million and $3.4 million in management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, under the Original Omnibus Agreement classified as general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.

CrossAmerica entered into an Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement, dated October 1, 2014, by and among CrossAmerica, the General Partner, DMI, DMS, CST and Joseph V. Topper, Jr. (the “Amended Omnibus Agreement”), which amends and restates the Original Omnibus Agreement. CrossAmerica incurred $2.5 million and $5.0 million in charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. In addition, CST allocated $0.1 million and $2.2 million in non-cash stock-based compensation and incentive compensation costs to us for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, under the Amended Omnibus Agreement. Amounts payable to CST related to these transactions were $6.3 million and $0.1 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. As approved by the independent conflicts committee of the General Partner and the executive committee of CST’s board of directors, CrossAmerica and CST mutually agreed to settle the second quarter 2015 amounts due under the terms of the Amended Omnibus Agreement in limited partnership units. As a result, in July 2015, CrossAmerica issued 145,056 limited partner units to CST valued at $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. CST and CrossAmerica have the right to negotiate the amount of the management fee on an annual basis, or more often as circumstances require.

Maintenance and Environmental Costs

Certain maintenance and environmental monitoring and remediation activities are undertaken by a related party of CrossAmerica as approved by the conflicts committee. CrossAmerica incurred $0.6 million and $0.4 million with this related party for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Aircraft Usage Costs

From time to time, CrossAmerica uses aircraft owned by a group of individuals that includes Joseph V. Topper, Jr. and another member of the board of directors of the General Partner as previously approved in August 2013 by the independent members of the conflicts committee of the General Partner. CrossAmerica incurred $0.1 million for the use of these aircraft for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Receivables from Zimri DM, LLC

In connection with the purchase of PMI in May 2014, CrossAmerica divested the PMI lubricants business, which was subsequently purchased by a company affiliated with Joseph V. Topper, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer (“Zimri”). PMI provides certain services to Zimri pursuant to a transition services agreement. As of June 30, 2015, CrossAmerica recorded a receivable of $0.1 million related to the services provided under the transition services agreement. All amounts have been subsequently collected.

Note 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation Matters

We are from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract and/or property damages, environmental damages, employment-related claims and damages, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record a reserve when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we disclose matters for which management believes a material loss is at least reasonably possible. None of these proceedings, separately or in the aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In all instances, management has assessed the matter based on current information and made a judgment concerning its potential outcome, giving due consideration to the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought and the probability of success. Management’s judgment may prove materially inaccurate, and such judgment is made subject to the known uncertainties of litigation.

Environmental Matters

Environmental liabilities related to the sites contributed to CrossAmerica in connection with its IPO have not been assigned to CrossAmerica, and are still the responsibility of the Predecessor Entities (see the Form 10-K for additional discussion of the Predecessor Entities). Under the Amended Omnibus Agreement, certain of the Predecessor Entities must indemnify CrossAmerica for any costs or expenses that it incurs for environmental liabilities and third-party claims, regardless of when a claim is made, that are based on environmental conditions in existence prior to the closing of the IPO of CrossAmerica for contributed sites. The Predecessor Entities’ environmental liabilities and corresponding indemnification assets had balances of $13.5 million and $11.6 million, respectively, at June 30, 2015.

Note 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

CrossAmerica measures and reports certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). U.S. GAAP specifies a three-level hierarchy that is used when measuring and disclosing fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The following is a description of the three hierarchy levels.

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Active markets are considered to be those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2—Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs are not corroborated by market data. This category is comprised of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using significant inputs that are generally less readily observable from objective sources.

Transfers into or out of any hierarchy level are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which the transfers occurred. There were no transfers between any levels in 2015 or 2014.

As further discussed in Note 13, CrossAmerica has accrued for unvested phantom units and vested and unvested profits interests as a liability and adjusts that liability on a recurring basis based on the market price of CrossAmerica’s common units each balance sheet date. Such fair value measurements are deemed Level 1 measurements.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of CrossAmerica’s accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable approximated their carrying values as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the revolving credit facility approximated its carrying value of $186.9 million as of June 30, 2015 and $200.4 million as of December 31, 2014 due to the frequency with which interest rates are reset based on changes in prevailing interest rates.

Note 12. PARTNERS’ CAPITAL

In January 2015, 1,497,946 common units were issued in connection with the acquisition of a 5% interest in CST Fuel Supply. See Notes 2 and 9 for additional information.

In March 2015, 90,671 common units were issued (net of units withheld for income taxes) as a result of the vesting of phantom units previously issued primarily to CST employees who provide services principally to CrossAmerica. See Note 13 for additional information.

On June 19, 2015, CrossAmerica closed on the sale of 4.6 million common units for net proceeds of approximately $138.5 million. CrossAmerica used the net proceeds from this offering to reduce indebtedness outstanding under its revolving credit facility. On July 16, 2015, CrossAmerica closed on the sale of an additional 0.2 million common units for net proceeds of approximately $6.2 million in accordance with the underwriters’ option to purchase additional common units associated with the June offering.

Subsequent Events—Common Unit Issuances

On July 1, 2015, 3,303,208 common units were issued to CST in connection with the acquisition of a 12.5% additional equity interest in CST Fuel Supply. See Notes 2 and 9 for additional information.

On July 1, 2015, 338,098 common units were issued to CST in connection with the acquisition of real property at 29 NTIs. See Note 2 for additional information.

On July 16, 2015, 145,056 common units were issued to CST in connection with the amounts incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2015 under the terms of the Amended Omnibus Agreement. See Note 9 for additional information.

Note 13. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Overview

We record stock-based compensation as a component of general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. Compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $3.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Such amounts include the allocation of stock-based compensation expense from CST.

CrossAmerica Equity-Based Awards

Grants of equity-based awards occurred in the first half of 2015 and consisted of:



	Number of Securities	Weighted-Avg Grant-Date Fair Value
Phantom units	39,891	$	33.86
Profits interests	34,728	$	33.92

These awards were fully vested on the date of grant and related to our short term incentive plan, excluding 4,077 phantom units issued to our President, which vest in equal increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. Prior to 2015, issued awards generally vest in equal increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of their date of grant. It is the intent of CrossAmerica to settle the phantom units upon vesting by issuing common units and to settle the profits interests upon conversion by the grantee by issuing common units. However, the awards may be settled in cash at the discretion of the board of directors of the General Partner.

Since CrossAmerica grants awards to employees of CST, and since the grants may be settled in cash, unvested phantom units and vested and unvested profits interests receive fair value variable accounting treatment. As such, they are measured at fair value at each balance sheet reporting date and the cumulative compensation cost recognized is classified as a liability, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The balance of the accrual at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 totaled $2.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CST Awards

Approximately 155,000 CST stock based awards were granted to certain employees of CST for services rendered on behalf of CrossAmerica and $0.1 million and $1.7 million of expense associated with the awards was allocated to CrossAmerica under the Amended Omnibus Agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

Awards to Members of the Board of Directors

In 2014, CrossAmerica granted 6,141 phantom units to the non-employee members of the board of directors of the General Partner as a portion of director compensation, which will vest on November 10, 2015.

The fair value of these awards at June 30, 2015, including previously issued fully vested profits interests that have not been converted into common units, was $0.5 million. Compensation expense was not significant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Note 14. NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNER UNIT

Under the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement of CrossAmerica (the “Partnership Agreement”), the holders of CrossAmerica’s IDRs have an interest in distributions from CrossAmerica that are increasing percentages starting at 15% of quarterly distributions out of the operating surplus (as defined in our Partnership Agreement) in excess of $0.5031 per limited partner unit. CrossAmerica’s undistributed net income is generally allocable pro rata to the common and subordinated unitholders, except where common unitholders have received cash distributions in excess of the subordinated unitholders. In that circumstance, net income is allocated to the common unitholders first in support of such excess cash distribution paid to them and the remainder of the net income is allocable pro rata to the common and subordinated unitholders. Losses are generally allocable pro rata to the common and subordinated unitholders in accordance with the Partnership Agreement unless a loss would create or increase a Partnership deficit balance, in which case the loss would be allocated to the General Partner.

In addition to the common and subordinated units, CrossAmerica has identified the IDRs as participating securities and computes income per unit using the two-class method under which any excess of distributions declared over net income shall be allocated to the partners based on their respective sharing of income as specified in the Partnership Agreement. Net income per unit applicable to limited partners (including common and subordinated unitholders) is computed by dividing the limited partners’ interest in net income (loss), after deducting the IDRs, by the weighted-average number of outstanding common and subordinated units.

Note 15. INCOME TAXES

As a limited partnership, CrossAmerica is not subject to federal and state income taxes. Income tax attributable to CrossAmerica’s taxable income, which may differ significantly from income for financial statement purposes, is assessed at the individual level of the limited partner unit holders. CrossAmerica is subject to a statutory requirement that non-qualifying income, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, cannot exceed 10% of total gross income for the calendar year. If non-qualifying income exceeds this statutory limit, CrossAmerica would be taxed as a corporation. The non-qualifying income did not exceed the statutory limit in any period.

Certain activities that generate non-qualifying income are conducted through CrossAmerica’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries that are corporations, LGWS and its subsidiaries. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized on the earnings of the corporate subsidiaries. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates.

The Company’s tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.9 million on a loss before income taxes of $0.9 million. This benefit includes a decrease in the valuation allowance of $0.4 million. The Company’s tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $3.9 million on a loss before taxes of $2.0 million. The effective tax rate was higher than the combined federal and state statutory rate because only the corporate operations are subject to income tax.

The Company’s tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $2.6 million on a loss before income taxes of $5.5 million. This benefit includes a decrease in the valuation allowance of $0.4 million. The Company’s tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $3.8 million on a loss before taxes of $0.5 million. The effective tax rate was higher than the combined federal and state statutory rate because only the corporate operations are subject to income tax.

Note 16. SEGMENT REPORTING

CrossAmerica conducts its business in two segments: 1) the Wholesale segment and 2) the Retail segment, which includes the sale of convenience merchandise items, the retail sale of motor fuel at Company operated sites and the retail sale of motor fuels at sites operated by commission agents. A commission agent is a retail site where we retain title to the motor fuel inventory and sell it directly to our end user customers; therefore, we manage motor fuel inventory pricing and retain the gross profit on motor fuel sales. We pay a commission to the agent who operates the retail site. Effective with the first quarter of 2015 management adopted operating income as a measure for disclosing our segments. Unallocated costs consist primarily of general and administrative expenses and the elimination of the Retail segment’s intersegment cost of revenues from fuel sales against the Wholesale segment’s intersegment revenues from fuel sales. The profit in ending inventory generated by the intersegment fuel sales is also eliminated. Total assets by segment are not presented as the chief operating decision maker does not currently assess performance or allocate resources based on that data.

The following table reflects activity related to our reportable segments (in thousands):



	Wholesale		Retail		Unallocated			Consolidated

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition. This section is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to these financial statements contained elsewhere in this report, this MD&A section and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to those financial statements in our Form 10-K. Our Form 10-K contains a discussion of other matters not included herein, such as disclosures regarding critical accounting policies and estimates, and contractual obligations.

MD&A is organized as follows:


•	Significant Factors Affecting Our Profitability—This section describes the significant impact on our results of operations caused by crude oil commodity price volatility and seasonality.


•	Recently Acquired Retail Sites—This section describes our operating model related to recently acquired convenience store operations.


•	Results of Operations—This section provides an analysis of our results of operations, including the results of operations of our business segments, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and an outlook for our business.


•	Liquidity and Capital Resources—This section provides a discussion of our financial condition and cash flows. It also includes a discussion of our debt, capital requirements and other matters impacting our liquidity and capital resources.


•	New Accounting Policies—This section describes new accounting pronouncements that we have already adopted, those that we are required to adopt in the future, and those that became applicable in the current year as a result of new circumstances.


•	Critical Accounting Policies—This section describes the accounting policies and estimates that we consider most important for our business and that require significant judgment.

Significant Factors Affecting our Profitability

The Significance of Crude Oil and Wholesale Motor Fuel Prices on Our Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Wholesale segment

The prices paid to our motor fuel suppliers for wholesale motor fuel are highly correlated to the price of crude oil. The crude oil commodity markets are highly volatile, and the market prices of crude oil, and correspondingly the market prices of wholesale motor fuel, experience significant and rapid fluctuations. While a significant portion of our wholesale gross profits are derived from sales at fixed amounts over cost, our gross profits still experience variability. A portion of our gross profit margin is generated from payment discounts and incentives that are based on the price of wholesale motor fuel (which generally increases or decreases with the price of crude oil). As such, in periods of declining wholesale motor fuel prices, our profit margin is negatively affected and, in periods of rising wholesale motor fuel prices, our profit margin is positively affected. We estimate a $10 per barrel change in the price of crude oil would impact our annual wholesale motor fuel gross profit by approximately $2.5 million.

Retail segment

We attempt to pass along wholesale motor fuel price changes to our retail customers through “at the pump” retail price changes; however, market conditions do not always allow us to do so immediately. The timing of any related increase or decrease in “at the pump” retail motor fuel prices is affected by competitive conditions in each geographic market in which we operate. As such, the retail prices we charge our customers for motor fuel and the gross profit we receive on our retail motor fuel sales can increase or decrease significantly and rapidly over short periods of time due to the volatility of crude oil and wholesale motor fuel prices. It has been our experience, however, that over time, motor fuel gross profits are less affected by the volatility of crude oil and wholesale motor fuel prices as we and our competitors successfully pass along wholesale motor fuel price changes to consumers.

Seasonality Effects on Volumes

Our business exhibits substantial 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.

Recently Acquired Retail Sites

When we acquire wholesale and convenience store operations, we do not have a predetermined operating model for the convenience store operations. Subsequent to an acquisition, we evaluate the eventual long-term operation of each convenience store acquired: (a) to be fully integrated into the existing core retail operations of CST, (b) to be converted into a dealer, or (c) other strategic alternatives, including divestiture. All retail convenience stores we acquire through acquisitions are first categorized as non-core and an evaluation process (which could take up to twelve months) is performed to determine if any of the acquired convenience stores are suitable to be converted and integrated into CST’s core store operating model. If these stores are not determined to be core stores, these non-core stores will be evaluated for conversion to third party dealers, divestment or maintaining the existing operations using an operating model different from the core retail operations of CST. By converting non-core stores into dealers, we continue to benefit from motor fuel distribution volumes as well as rental income from lease or sublease arrangements.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Consolidated Results

Operating revenues declined $116.4 million, or 15%, while gross profit increased $11.4 million, or 42%.

Operating revenues

Significant items impacting these results prior to the elimination of intercompany revenues were:


•	A $147.9 million, or 21%, decline in our Wholesale segment primarily attributable to:


◦	A $326.6 million decline attributable to a decrease in the wholesale price of our motor fuel. The average daily spot price of New York Harbor Conventional (“NYHC”) gasoline decreased to $1.91 per gallon during the second quarter of 2015, compared to $2.89 per gallon during the second quarter of 2014.


◦	Partially offsetting this decline was a $177.6 million increase primarily related to a 25% increase in volume from our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.


◦	Other revenues increased $0.9 million in our Wholesale segment driven by additional rental income from the Nice N Easy Grocery Shoppes (“Nice N Easy”) and the Landmark convenience stores acquisitions.


•	A $58.7 million, or 44%, increase in our Retail segment primarily attributable to:


◦	An increase of $88.3 million from a 75% increase in motor fuel volume sold related to the PMI and Erickson acquisitions.


◦	A $28.0 million increase in our merchandise revenues attributable to convenience store operations from the PMI and Erickson acquisitions.


◦	Partially offsetting these revenue increases was a decline of $58.3 million primarily attributable to a decrease in the retail price of our motor fuel driven by a decline in wholesale motor fuel prices as noted above.

Intersegment revenues

We present the results of operations of our segments consistent with how our management views the business. Therefore, our segments are presented before intersegment eliminations (which consists of motor fuel sold by our Wholesale segment to our Retail segment as well as rental income received by our Wholesale segment from our Retail segment). As a result, in order to reconcile to our consolidated change in operating revenues, a discussion of the change in intersegment revenues is included in our consolidated MD&A discussion.


•	Our intersegment revenues increased $27.2 million, primarily attributable to an increase in our Wholesale segment selling motor fuel to the convenience stores acquired in the PMI and the Erickson acquisitions, which are included in our Retail segment.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales declined $127.7 million, primarily from the decline in wholesale gasoline prices, which were partially offset by an increase in volumes purchased by our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.

Income from CST Fuel Supply

As discussed in Note 2 of the condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements, in January 2015, we closed on the acquisition of a 5% limited partner equity interest in CST Fuel Supply. We recorded $1.2 million of income from CST Fuel Supply in the second quarter of 2015 related to this new fuel supply investment.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily from convenience store operating expenses associated with the PMI and the Erickson acquisitions.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses declined $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily attributable to a $4.5 million decrease in acquisition related costs associated with costs incurred in 2014 in connection with the PMI acquisition. Partially offsetting these decreases were the impact of our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions, which caused a $1.3 million increase in our general and administrative expenses to support these acquired operations, and an increase in the fixed management fee under the Original Omnibus Agreement representing $0.8 million of the increase.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense increased $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily driven by our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.

Gains on sales of assets, net

Gains on sales of assets, net increased $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period of the prior year. The net gain recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily includes a $0.5 million gain related to the sale of PMI’s transportation assets, partially offset by a $0.3 million loss on converting certain Company operated sites to dealer operated sites.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in the average outstanding debt balance as a result of additional borrowings to fund the 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.

Income tax benefit

The income tax benefit decreased from $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The benefit for both periods was due in part to the losses reported by the taxable entities. In addition, the income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to the partial release of a valuation allowance of $5.2 million against deferred tax assets.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Consolidated Results

Operating revenues declined $120.6 million, or 10%, while gross profit increased $29.7 million, or 68%.

Operating revenues

Significant items impacting these results prior to the elimination of intercompany revenues were:


•	A $211.2 million, or 18%, decline in our Wholesale segment primarily attributable to:


◦	A $607.8 million decline attributable to a decrease in the wholesale price of our motor fuel. The average daily spot price of New York Harbor Conventional (“NYHC”) gasoline decreased to $1.91 per gallon during the first half of 2015, compared to $2.81 per gallon during the first half of 2014.


◦	Partially offsetting this decline was a $393.8 million increase primarily related to a 34% increase in volume from our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.


◦	Other operating revenues increased $2.4 million in our Wholesale segment driven primarily by additional rental income from the Nice N Easy and the Landmark convenience stores acquisitions.


•	A $140.4 million, or 75%, increase in our Retail segment primarily attributable to:


◦	An increase of $199.5 million from a 117% increase in motor fuel volume sold related to the PMI and Erickson acquisitions.


◦	A $55.9 million increase in our merchandise revenues attributable to the PMI and Erickson acquisitions.


◦	Partially offsetting these revenue increases was a decline of $117.5 million primarily attributable to a decrease in the retail price of our motor fuel driven by a decline in wholesale motor fuel prices as noted above.

Intersegment revenues

We present the results of operations of our segments consistent with how our management views the business. Therefore, our segments are presented before intersegment eliminations (which consists of motor fuel sold by our Wholesale segment to our Retail segment as well as rental income received by our Wholesale segment from our Retail segment). As a result, in order to reconcile to our consolidated change in revenue, a discussion of the change in intersegment revenue is included in our consolidated MD&A discussion.


•	Our intersegment revenues increased $49.9 million, primarily attributable to an increase in our Wholesale segment selling motor fuel to the convenience stores acquired in the PMI and the Erickson acquisitions, which are included in our Retail segment.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales declined $150.3 million, primarily from the decline in wholesale gasoline prices, which were partially offset by an increase in volumes purchased by our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.

Income from CST Fuel Supply

As discussed in Note 2 of the condensed notes to consolidated financial statements, in January 2015, we closed on the acquisition of a 5% limited partner equity interest in CST Fuel Supply. We recorded $2.3 million of income from CST Fuel Supply in the first half of 2015 related to this new fuel supply investment.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased $20.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily from convenience store operating expenses associated with the PMI and the Erickson acquisitions.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period of the prior year, partially attributable to our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions, which caused $3.5 million of the increase, an increase

in the fixed management fee under the Original Omnibus Agreement representing $1.5 million of the increase, and an increase of $2.1 million as a result of incentive compensation expense allocated by CST under the Amended Omnibus Agreement. These increases were partially offset by a $3.8 million decrease in acquisition related costs.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense increased $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily driven by our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.

Gains on sales of assets, net

Gains on sales of assets, net decreased $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period of the prior year. The net gain recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily includes a $0.5 million gain related to the sale of PMI’s transportation assets, partially offset by a $0.3 million loss on converting certain Company operated sites to dealer operated sites. The net gain recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2014 related primarily to two site divestitures.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily driven by the increase in the average outstanding debt balance as a result of additional borrowings to fund the 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.

Income tax benefit

The income tax benefit decreased from $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The benefit for both periods was due in part to the losses reported by the taxable entities. In addition, the income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to the partial release of a valuation allowance of $5.2 million against deferred tax assets.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Operating revenues decreased $147.9 million, gross profit increased $0.3 million, and operating expenses decreased $0.7 million, which were the primary reasons for the operating income increase of $1.1 million.

The results were driven by:

Operating revenues


•	A $326.6 million decline attributable to a decrease in the wholesale price of our motor fuel. The average daily spot price of NYHC gasoline decreased to $1.91 per gallon during the second quarter of 2015, compared to $2.89 per gallon during the second quarter of 2014.


•	Partially offsetting this decline was a $177.6 million increase related to a 25% increase in volume from our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.


•	Other operating revenues increased $0.9 million driven by additional rental income from the Nice N Easy and Landmark acquisitions.

Gross profit

•

A decline of $5.0 million primarily attributable to a decline in our payment discounts and incentives, which are discussed under the heading “The Significance of Crude Oil and Wholesale Motor Fuel Prices on Our Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit,” partially offset by a $4.0 million increase in our motor fuel volume and a $0.7 million increase primarily from rental income resulting from our recent acquisitions.

Income from CST Fuel Supply


•	We recorded $1.2 million of income from our investment in CST Fuel Supply.

Operating expenses


•	Operating expenses decreased $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to the sale of PMI’s transportation assets and the resulting reduction in operating expenses.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense


•	Depreciation, amortization and accretion increased $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily driven by incremental depreciation and amortization resulting from our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Operating revenues decreased $211.2 million, gross profit increased $5.9 million, and operating expenses increased $1.2 million, which were the primary reasons for the operating income increase of $1.2 million.

The results were driven by:

Operating revenues


•	A $607.8 million decline attributable to a decrease in the wholesale price of our motor fuel. The average daily spot price of NYHC gasoline decreased to $1.91 per gallon during the first half of 2015, compared to $2.81 per gallon during the first half of 2014.


•	Partially offsetting this decline was a $393.8 million increase related to a 34% increase in volume from our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.


•	Other revenues increased $2.4 million driven by additional rental income from the Nice N Easy and Landmark acquisitions.

Gross profit

•

An increase of $8.3 million primarily attributable to an increase in motor fuel volume and an increase of $2.5 million primarily from rental income resulting from our recent acquisitions, partially offset by a decline of $5.1 million primarily attributable to a decline in our payment discounts and incentives, which are discussed under the heading “The Significance of Crude Oil and Wholesale Motor Fuel Prices on Our Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.”

Income from CST Fuel Supply


•	We recorded $2.3 million of income from our investment in CST Fuel Supply.

Operating expenses


•	Operating expenses increased $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to 2015 including a full six months of operating expenses for PMI’s wholesale operations, partially offset by the impact of the sale of PMI’s transportation assets and the resulting reduction in operating expenses.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense


•	Depreciation, amortization and accretion increased $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily driven by incremental depreciation and amortization resulting from our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.

•	A $28.0 million increase in our merchandise revenues attributable to the convenience stores acquired in the PMI and Erickson acquisitions.


•	Partially offsetting these increases was a decline of $58.3 million primarily attributable to a decrease in the retail price of our motor fuel driven by a decline in wholesale motor fuel prices.

Gross profit


•	A $3.8 million increase in our motor fuel gross profit attributable to the PMI and Erickson acquisitions.


•	Our merchandise gross profit increased $6.7 million attributable to the PMI and Erickson acquisitions.

Operating expenses


•	A $9.7 million increase in operating expenses attributable to the PMI and Erickson acquisitions.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense


•	A $2.8 million increase in depreciation, amortization and accretion expense driven by additional depreciation and amortization resulting from our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Operating revenues increased $140.4 million, gross profit increased $23.8 million, while operating expenses increased $19.3 million, and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense increased $5.0 million, causing operating income to decline $0.5 million.

These results were driven by:

Operating revenues


•	An increase of $199.5 million from a 117% increase in volume related to the PMI and Erickson acquisitions.


•	A $55.9 million increase in our merchandise revenues attributable to the convenience stores acquired in the PMI and Erickson acquisitions.


•	Partially offsetting these increases was a decline of $117.5 million primarily attributable to a decrease in the retail price of our motor fuel driven by a decline in wholesale motor fuel prices.

Gross profit


•	An $8.1 million increase in our motor fuel gross profit attributable to the PMI and Erickson acquisitions.


•	Our merchandise gross profit increased $14.5 million attributable to the PMI and Erickson acquisitions.

Operating expenses


•	A $19.3 million increase in operating expenses attributable to the PMI and Erickson acquisitions.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense


•	A $5.0 million increase in depreciation, amortization and accretion expense driven by additional depreciation and amortization resulting from the PMI and the Erickson acquisitions.

Outlook

We expect our total fuel volume to increase in 2015, primarily driven by our acquisition activities. Per the U.S. Energy Information Administration website, U.S. weekly regular gasoline retail prices reached a 2015 year-to-date high in mid-June, an increase from early in the second quarter but below the same time last year. Strong demand for gasoline in both the United States and abroad has driven gasoline prices higher throughout the 2nd quarter of 2015, despite relatively stable crude oil prices. Data from the U.S. Federal Highway Administration show Americans drove a record 988 billion miles during the first four months of 2015, compared with the previous record of 966 billion miles driven in the first four months of 2007. U.S. average wholesale gasoline margins averaged higher during June 2015 than June of last year, higher than the five-year average (2010-14) for June.

We expect rent income to increase in 2015 as a result of our acquisition activities. We will continue to evaluate acquisitions on an opportunistic basis. Additionally, we will pursue targets that fit into our strategy and complement CrossAmerica as well as CST’s portfolio. Whether we will be able to execute acquisitions will depend on market conditions, availability of suitable acquisition targets at attractive terms, which are expected to be accretive to CrossAmerica’s unitholders, and our ability to finance such acquisitions on favorable terms.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance our operations, fund acquisitions, to service our debt and pay distributions to our unitholders and the holder of our incentive distribution rights. We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated by our operations and borrowings under the revolving credit facility and, if available to us on acceptable terms, issuances of equity and debt securities. 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, acquisitions, and partnership distributions 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.

We believe that we will have sufficient cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility and the ability to issue additional equity and/or debt securities to meet our financial commitments, debt service obligations, contingencies, anticipated capital expenditures, and partnership distributions. However, we are subject to business and operational risks that could adversely affect our cash flow. A material decrease in our cash flows would likely produce an adverse effect on our borrowing capacity as well as our ability to issue additional equity and/or debt securities.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $16.5 million compared to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, driven primarily from working capital changes, which are shown in Note 17, and an increase in non-cash expenses, particularly depreciation, amortization, and accretion.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $126.2 million compared to $104.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was related to our Landmark and Erickson acquisitions, partially offset by the proceeds received in 2014 on the sale of the lubricants business.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $99.1 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $98.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, we borrowed $132.8 million under the revolving credit facility primarily to finance the Landmark convenience stores and the Erickson acquisitions. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2015, we closed on the sale of 4.6 million common units for net proceeds of $138.5 million and used the net proceeds from this offering to reduce indebtedness outstanding under our revolving credit facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we had net borrowings of $126.2 million primarily used to fund acquisitions, partially offset by $19.2 million of distributions to our common and subordinated unit holders.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow in this report. EBITDA represents net income before deducting interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and accretion. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude equity funded expenses related to incentive compensation and the Amended Omnibus Agreement, gains or losses on sales of assets, certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees and severance expenses associated with recently acquired companies, and certain other discrete non-cash items, such as inventory fair value adjustments arising from purchase accounting. Distributable Cash Flow represents Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, sustaining capital expenditures and current income tax expense.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and lenders. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used to assess our financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure or income taxes and our ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis by excluding the impact of items which do not result directly from our wholesale distribution of motor fuel, the leasing of real property, or the day to day operations of our retail convenience store activities. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow are also used to assess our ability to generate cash sufficient to make distributions to our unit-holders.

We believe the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered alternatives to net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance

or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

The following table presents reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow to net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except for per unit amounts):

Debt

As of June 30, 2015, our consolidated debt consisted of the following (in thousands):



	June 30,
	2015
Revolving credit facility	$	186,909
Financing obligation associated with Rocky Top acquisition	26,250
Note payable	903
Total	214,062
Current portion	5,554
Total	$	219,616

Our revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of CrossAmerica and its subsidiaries. Our borrowings under the revolving credit facility had an interest rate of 3.44% as of June 30, 2015. Letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2015 totaled $16.4 million. As of June 30, 2015, after taking into account letters of credit and debt covenant constraints to availability, approximately $139.5 million was available for future borrowings. Subsequent to the July 2015 acquisitions discussed in Note 2, the availability for future borrowings was approximately $98.9 million. In connection with future acquisitions, the revolving credit facility requires, among other things, that we have, after giving effect to such acquisition, at least $20 million of borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility and unrestricted cash on the balance sheet on the date of such acquisition. We are required to maintain a total leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters of less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2015, CrossAmerica was in compliance with these financial covenant ratios.

option of requiring a purchase of the sites on August 1, 2015 would not be exercised, and CrossAmerica reclassified $20.8 million to noncurrent in 2015.

Capital Expenditures

We make investments to expand, upgrade and enhance existing assets. We categorize our capital requirements as either sustaining capital expenditures or acquisition capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures are those capital expenditures required to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity. Acquisition capital expenditures are those capital expenditures that we expect will increase our operating income or operating capacity over the long term. We have the ability to fund our capital expenditures by additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility or, if available to us on acceptable terms, issuing additional equity, debt securities or other options, such as the sale of assets. We may not be able to complete any offering of securities or other options on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

The following table outlines our consolidated capital expenditures by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

Other Matters Impacting Liquidity and Capital Resources

CrossAmerica Common Unit Offering

On June 19, 2015, CrossAmerica closed on the sale of 4.6 million common units for net proceeds of approximately $138.5 million. On July 16, 2015, CrossAmerica closed on the sale of an additional 0.2 million common units for net proceeds of approximately $6.2 million in accordance with the underwriters’ option to purchase additional common units. See Note 11 for additional information.

Distributions

Since the closing of our initial public offering, we have increased our quarterly distributions from $0.4375 per unit ($1.75 per unit on an annualized basis) to $0.5475 per unit (or $2.19 per unit on an annualized basis). On June 5, 2015, the board of directors of our General Partner approved a quarterly distribution of $0.5475 per unit attributable to the first quarter of 2015 (annualized $2.19 per unit), representing a 0.9% increase in our cash distribution per unit from $0.5425 per quarter ($2.17 per unit annualized) paid with respect to the fourth quarter of 2014. The distribution attributable to the first quarter was paid on June 19, 2015 to all unitholders of record on June 15, 2015. The amount of any distribution is subject to the discretion of the board of directors of our General Partner which may modify or revoke our cash distribution policy at any time. Our Partnership Agreement does not require us to pay any distributions. As such, there can be no assurance we will continue to pay distributions in the future.

IDRs

IDRs entitle CST to receive a percentage of our quarterly distributions from operating surplus (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) after the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels have been achieved. If cash distributions to our limited partner unitholders exceed $0.5031 per unit in any quarter, our unitholders and CST, as the holder of our IDRs, will receive distributions according to the following percentage allocations:



Total Quarterly Distribution Per Common and Subordinated Unit	Marginal Percentage Interest in Distribution
Target Amount	Unitholders		Holders of IDRs
above $0.5031 up to $0.5469	85	%	15	%
above $0.5469 up to $0.6563	75	%	25	%
above $0.6563	50	%	50	%

During the first half of 2015, we distributed $0.4 million to CST with respect to the IDRs.

Purchase of CST Fuel Supply Equity Interests

In January 2015 and again in July 2015, we closed on the purchase of a 5% and 12.5%, respectively, limited partner equity interest in CST Fuel Supply. See Notes 2 and 9 for additional information.

Acquisition of Landmark

In January 2015, in connection with the joint acquisition by CST and CrossAmerica of 22 convenience stores from Landmark, we acquired the real property of the 22 fee sites as well as certain wholesale fuel distribution assets for $41.2 million. See Note 2 for additional information.

Acquisition of Erickson

In February 2015, CrossAmerica closed on the purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of Erickson and certain related assets for an aggregate purchase price of $84.9 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. See Note 2 for additional information.

Purchase of NTI Convenience Stores

Acquisition of One Stop

In July 2015, CrossAmerica closed on the purchase of 41 convenience stores from One Stop and certain related assets. See Note 2 for additional information.

New Accounting Policies

As discussed in Note 1, certain other new financial accounting pronouncements have become effective for our financial statements and the adoption of these pronouncements will not affect our financial position or results of operations, nor will they require any additional disclosures.

Critical Accounting Policies Involving Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies described in our Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2015, we had $186.9 million outstanding on our revolving credit facility. Our outstanding borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate plus a margin of 3.25%. These borrowings had an interest rate of 3.44%. A one percentage point change in our average rate would impact annual interest expense by approximately $1.9 million.

Commodity Price Risk

We have not historically hedged or managed our price risk with respect to our commodity inventories (gasoline and diesel fuel), as the time period between the purchases of our motor fuel inventory and the sales to our customers is very short.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2015, management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2015, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as noted below.

CrossAmerica acquired Erickson effective February 12, 2015. The internal controls over financial reporting of Erickson are anticipated to be excluded from a formal evaluation of effectiveness of CrossAmerica’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015. This decision was based upon the significance of Erickson to CrossAmerica and the timing of integration efforts underway to transition Erickson’s processes, information technology systems and other components of internal control over financial reporting to the internal control structure of CrossAmerica. CrossAmerica has expanded its consolidation and disclosure controls and procedures to include Erickson, and CrossAmerica continues to assess the current internal control over financial reporting at Erickson. Risks related to the increased account balances are partially mitigated by CrossAmerica’s expanded controls over Erickson’s results and the incorporation of Erickson’s balances into CrossAmerica’s consolidated financial statements.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We hereby incorporate by reference into this Item our disclosures made in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report included in Note 10 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

There were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K other than set forth below.

The employees providing services to us are subject to extensive government laws and regulations, and the cost of compliance with such laws and regulations can be material.

Regulations related to wages affect our business. Any appreciable increase in the statutory minimum wage, exemption levels, overtime or unionization of the workforce providing services to us could result in an increase in labor costs and such cost increase, or the penalties for failing to comply with such statutory minimums, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, U.S. health care reform legislation requires us to provide additional health insurance benefits to the employees providing services to us, or health insurance coverage to additional employees, and as a result increases our costs and expenses. Any changes in the laws or regulations described above that are adverse to us could affect our operating and financial performance. In addition, new regulations are proposed from time to time which, if adopted, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

As discussed in Note 12 to Item 1 in Part I above, on July 16, 2015, the Partnership issued 145,056 common units to CST in connection with the amount incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2015 under the terms of the Amended Omnibus Agreement. This issuance of the common units was made in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
