DALLAS, Feb. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) ("SUN" or the "Partnership") today announced financial and operating results for the three- and twelve-month period ended December 31, 2017.
Revenue totaled $3.0 billion, an increase of 4.8 percent, compared to $2.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase was the result of the average selling price of fuel being 25 cents per gallon higher than last year.
Total gross profit decreased to $277 million, compared to $296 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, as a result of lower motor fuel gross profits.
Income from continuing operations was $221 million, including $17 million of intangible impairment charges, versus a loss of $122 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, which included $227 million of goodwill impairment charges.
Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $11 million, including $23 million of goodwill impairment charges, versus a loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $463 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, which included $446 million of goodwill and intangibles impairment charges.
Net income was $232 million, or $2.01 per diluted unit, versus a net loss of $585 million, or ($6.32) per diluted unit, in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter totaled $158 million, compared with $154 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted, was $106 million, compared to $63 million a year ago. This year-over-year increase reflects higher Adjusted EBITDA, decreased maintenance capital spend and a cash tax benefit compared to a cash tax expense a year ago.
On a weighted-average basis, fuel margin for all gallons sold was 15.3 cents per gallon, compared to 14.3 cents per gallon in the fourth quarter of 2016. The 1.0 cent per gallon increase was attributable to higher margins in the wholesale segment.
Net income for the wholesale segment was $47 million compared to $63 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $90 million, versus $78 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Total wholesale gallons sold were 1,346 million, compared to 1,359 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, a decrease of 1.0 percent. The Partnership earned 11.1 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 9.0 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Net income for the retail segment was $185 million compared to a net loss of $648 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $68 million, versus $76 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Total retail gallons sold were flat with a year ago at 626 million gallons. The Partnership earned 24.2 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 25.7 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Total merchandise sales increased by 0.5 percent from a year ago to $568 million(2), reflecting an increase in merchandise and restaurant sales across the Texas oil producing regions. Merchandise sales contributed $173 million of gross profit(3) with a retail merchandise margin of 30.6 percent, an increase of 0.7 percentage points from the fourth quarter of 2016.
Same-store merchandise sales decreased by 0.8 percent and same store gallons decreased by 1.4 percent during the fourth quarter, reflecting weakness across the East Coast. In the Texas oil producing regions, same-store merchandise sales increased by 11.2 percent, and same-store gallons increased 4.8 percent.
SUN's recent accomplishments include the following:

____________________ | |
|
(1) |
Excludes the impact of inventory fair value adjustments consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. |
|
(2) |
EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect certain other non-recurring and non-cash items. We define Adjusted EBITDA to also include adjustments for unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory fair value adjustments. We define distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, including the accrual of interest expense related to our long-term debt that is paid on a semi-annual basis, Series A Preferred distribution, current income tax expense, maintenance capital expenditures, and other non-cash adjustments. Further adjustments are made to distributable cash flow for certain transaction-related and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income. |
|
We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because: | |
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance measure under our revolving credit facility; |
|
• |
securities analysts and other interested parties use such metrics as measures of financial performance, ability to make distributions to our unitholders and debt service capabilities; |
|
• |
our management uses them for internal planning purposes, including aspects of our consolidated operating budget, and capital expenditures; and |
|
• |
distributable cash flow provides useful information to investors as it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance, and as it provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating. |
|
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income (loss) as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have limitations as analytical tools, and one should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include: | |
|
• |
they do not reflect our total cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
|
• |
they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital; |
|
• |
they do not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our revolving credit facility or term loan; |
|
• |
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements; and |
|
• |
as not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. |
|
(3) |
Includes amounts from discontinued operations. |
Capital Spending
SUN's gross capital expenditures for the fourth quarter were $38 million, which included $25 million for growth capital and $13 million for maintenance capital.
Gross capital expenditures for the full year 2017 were $177 million, which included $129 million for growth capital and $48 million for maintenance capital.
Excluding acquisitions, SUN expects to spend approximately $90 million on growth capital and approximately $40 million on maintenance capital for the full year 2018.

Orignial Article: https://www.prnewswire.co...
DALLAS, Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunoco LP ("Sunoco") and Sunoco Finance Corp. (collectively, the "Issuers") today announced the termination of the previously announced consent solicitations (the "Consent Solicitations") to amend the indentures governing their $800 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2021 (CUSIP No. 86765LAF4) (the "2021 Notes") and their $800 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2023 (CUSIP No. 86765LAG2) (the "2023 Notes" and, together with the 2021 Notes, the "Notes").
The Consent Solicitations are being terminated in accordance with the terms of the Consent Solicitation Statement dated October 10, 2017 (the "Consent Solicitation Statement"). As a result of the termination, no consent fees will be paid or become payable to holders of the Notes who have delivered consents. All consents previously delivered and not revoked will be of no effect, and the indentures governing the Notes will not be amended and will remain in their present form.
The termination of the Consent Solicitations does not impact the Issuers' notice of redemption with respect to all $600 million outstanding principal amount of their 5.500% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes"), which redemption is subject to the closing of the 7-Eleven transaction. Sunoco will redeem the 2020 Notes at a price of 102.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to the redemption date.
Sunoco intends to redeem the 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes at a make-whole price prior to the closing of the 7-Eleven transaction in order to satisfy one of the closing conditions under the 7-Eleven purchase agreement. Sunoco believes this will have no impact on the timing of the transaction and no meaningful impact on the expected net proceeds, and that it has access to near-term financing options in the current market. Sunoco continues to anticipate closing the 7-Eleven transaction within the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to regulatory clearances.
This press release is neither an offer to purchase or sell securities, nor a solicitation of an offer to purchase or sell securities, including the Notes.
Questions about the termination of the Consent Solicitations may be directed to Ipreo LLC, the Information and Tabulation Agent, at (888) 593-9546 (toll free) or (212) 849-3880 (banks and brokers).

The Proposed Amendments will also prohibit the Issuers from optionally redeeming the 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes until April 15, 2019 and April 1, 2020, respectively, and provide holders the right to require the Issuers to repurchase the 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes at 101.563% and 101.594% of the principal amount thereof, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on April 15, 2019, in the case of the 2021 Notes and on April 1, 2020, in the case of the 2023 Notes.
The consent fee will be paid to consenting holders promptly after the Expiration Date, subject to the receipt of consents from holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series (the "Requisite Consents") prior to the Expiration Date, the execution and effectiveness of supplemental indentures effecting the Proposed Amendments, and other customary conditions described in the Consent Solicitation Statement. Holders of Notes that do not consent prior to the Expiration Date will not receive a consent fee.

10/10/2017Energy Transfer Files Federal Lawsuit Against Greenpeace International, Greenpeace Inc., Greenpeace Fund, Inc., BankTrack And Earth First! For Violation Of Federal And State Racketeering Statutes
Source: PR Newswire
Orignial Article: http://www.prnewswire.com...
DALLAS, Aug. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (NYSE: ETE) and Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ETP) today filed a federal lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota against Greenpeace International, Greenpeace Inc., Greenpeace Fund, Inc., BankTrack, Earth First!, and other organizations and individuals. The Complaint, which is Index number 1:17-cv-00173, alleges that this group of co-conspirators (the "Enterprise") manufactured and disseminated materially false and misleading information about Energy Transfer and the Dakota Access Pipeline ("DAPL") for the purpose of fraudulently inducing donations, interfering with pipeline construction activities and damaging Energy Transfer's critical business and financial relationships. The Complaint also alleges that the Enterprise incited, funded, and facilitated crimes and acts of terrorism to further these objectives. It further alleges claims that these actions violated federal and state racketeering statutes, defamation, and constituted defamation and tortious interference under North Dakota law.
The alleged Enterprise is comprised of rogue environmental groups and militant individuals who employ a pattern of criminal activity and a campaign of misinformation for purposes of increasing donations and advancing their political or business agendas. The Complaint describes the Enterprise's misinformation campaign that aggressively targeted Energy Transfer's critical business relationships, including the financing sources for DAPL and Energy Transfer's other infrastructure projects, by publicly demanding these financial institutions sever ties with Energy Transfer or face crippling boycotts and other illegal attacks.
The Complaint asserts that the attacks were calculated and thoroughly irresponsible, causing enormous harm to people and property along the pipeline's route. Dakota Access was a legally permitted project that underwent nearly three years of rigorous environmental review and for this reason, Energy Transfer believes it has an obligation to its shareholders, partners, stakeholders and all those negatively impacted by the violence and destruction intentionally incited by the defendants to file this lawsuit.
The DAPL misinformation campaign was predicated on a series of false, alarmist, and sensational claims that plaintiffs:
The Enterprise also claimed that the pipeline will inevitably result in catastrophic oil spills, poisoned water, and massive climate change, while ironically, members of the Enterprise deliberately and maliciously attempted to cut holes in the pipeline with torches which, if successful, would have resulted in significant environmental damage and possible loss of life.
The Enterprise supported these false claims with manufactured evidence, including phony GPS coordinates purporting to show the existence of cultural and religious artifacts along DAPL's corridor, and sham affidavits submitted in court.
In addition to its misinformation campaign, the Enterprise directly and indirectly funded eco-terrorists on the ground in North Dakota. These groups formed their own outlaw camp among peaceful protestors gathered near Lake Oahe, and exploited the peaceful activities of these groups to further the Enterprise's corrupt agenda by inducing and directing violent and destructive attacks against law enforcement as well as Plaintiffs' property and personnel. The Enterprise then flagrantly manipulated these "made-for-TV" events to raise more funds for the Enterprise. These terrorist groups also funded their activities and the Enterprise by using donations to fund a lucrative drug trafficking scheme inside the camps.
Other illegal activities directed at Energy Transfer and its executives that are alleged in the Complaint include persistent attempted cyber-attacks and telephonic and electronic threats to the physical safety of executives.
The Enterprise has conceded that their campaign has inflicted "hundreds of millions of dollars of damage to the Company," including increased costs of financing resulting from the Enterprise's interference with the Company's financial relationships and mitigation costs in response to the Enterprise's illegal and malicious campaign. These damages, as well as the harm to the Company's reputation, resulting from the Enterprise's misinformation campaign, continue to this day. Energy Transfer is seeking compensatory damages in an amount to be proven at trial as well as treble and punitive damages.
Michael J. Bowe from Kasowitz, Benson & Torres LLP, the Company's counsel, is continuing the investigation into the Enterprise's campaign and practices. Anyone with information can provide it on a confidential basis by telephone at 212-506-1777. A website will be established to catalog information and publish progress reports on the case and, when necessary, to set the record straight as the facts warrant.

8/16/2017Sunoco LP Announces Second Quarter Financial and Operating Results
Source: PR Newswire
Orignial Article: http://www.prnewswire.com...
DALLAS, Aug. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) ("SUN" or the "Partnership") today announced financial and operating results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017.
Revenue totaled $2.4 billion, an increase of 13.0 percent, compared to $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2016. The increase was the result of the average wholesale selling price of fuel being 14 cents per gallon higher than last year and additional wholesale gallons sold.
Total gross profit declined to $165 million, compared to $227 million in the second quarter of 2016, as a result of lower wholesale motor fuel gross profits.
Income from continuing operations was $34 million, versus $57 million in the second quarter of 2016. General and administrative expenses increased $4 million from the second quarter of 2016 to $40 million driven by transaction-related expenses. Other operating expenses decreased $1 million from the second quarter of 2016 to $46 million.
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $256 million including a $320 million charge related to assets held for sale, versus income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $15 million in the second quarter of 2016.
Net loss was $222 million, or ($2.53) per diluted unit, versus $72 million, or $0.53 per diluted unit, in the second quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter totaled $220 million, compared with $164 million in the second quarter of 2016. The favorable year-over-year comparison reflects increased motor fuel gross profit cents per gallon and increased gallons sold.
Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted, was $158 million, compared to $92 million a year ago. This year over year increase reflects higher Adjusted EBITDA and decreased maintenance capital spend partly offset by increased cash interest expense.
On a weighted-average basis, fuel margin for all gallons sold was 16.2 cents per gallon, compared to 13.8 cents per gallon in the second quarter of 2016. The 2.4 cents per gallon increase was primarily attributable to higher margins in both the retail and wholesale segments.
Net income for the wholesale segment was $5 million compared to $86 million a year ago due to the impact of inventory valuation adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA was $93 million, versus $80 million in the second quarter of last year. Total wholesale gallons sold were 1,374 million, compared to 1,316 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of 4.4 percent as a result of growth in the Southwest geography and contribution from the Emerge acquisition. This includes gallons sold to consignment stores and third-party customers, including independent dealers, fuel distributors and commercial customers. The Partnership earned 10.1 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 8.8 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Net loss for the retail segment was $227 million compared to a net loss of $14 million a year ago primarily due to a $320 million charge related to assets held for sale. Adjusted EBITDA was $127 million, versus $84 million in the second quarter of last year. Total retail gallons sold increased by 1.4 percent to 650 million gallons as a result of the increased gallons sold across SUN's operating geography. The Partnership earned 29.2 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 24.0 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Total merchandise sales increased by 5.4 percent from a year ago to $608 million(2), reflecting the contribution from third party acquisitions and new-to-industry locations opened during the last 12 months. Merchandise sales contributed $196 million of gross profit(3) with a retail merchandise margin of 32.1 percent, a decrease of 0.4 percentage points from the second quarter of 2016.
Same-store merchandise sales increased by 1.0 percent during the second quarter, reflecting growth across all of SUN's convenience store offerings. Same-store gallons decreased by 2.1 percent as a result of weakness throughout SUN's retail geography, particularly on the East Coast partly offset by increased same-store gallons sold in Hawaii. In the Texas oil producing regions, same-store merchandise sales increased by 8.5 percent, and same-store gallons increased 8.7 percent.
As of June 30, 2017, SUN operated 1,353 convenience stores and retail fuel outlets along the East Coast, in the Southwest and in Hawaii. Third party wholesale customers and sites totaled 7,937.
SUN's other recent accomplishments include the following:
SUN's segment results and other supplementary data are provided after the financial tables below.
Distribution
On July 26, 2017 the Board of Directors of SUN's general partner declared a distribution for the second quarter of 2017 of $0.8255 per unit, which corresponds to $3.3020 per unit on an annualized basis. The distribution will be paid on August 15 to unitholders of record on August 7.
SUN's distribution coverage ratio for the second quarter was 1.53 times. The distribution coverage ratio on a trailing 12-month basis was 1.03 times.
Liquidity
At June 30, SUN had borrowings against its revolving line of credit of $825 million and other long-term debt of $3.6 billion. Availability on the revolving credit facility after borrowings and letters of credit commitments was $655 million. In the second quarter of 2017, SUN did not issue any common units through its at-the-market equity program. The leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA, calculated in accordance with SUN's credit agreements, including the revolving credit facility and Term Loan A, was 5.97 times at the end of the second quarter.

(1) |
Excludes the impact of inventory fair value adjustments consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. |
|
(2) |
EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect certain other non-recurring and non-cash items. We define Adjusted EBITDA to also include adjustments for unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory fair value adjustments. We define distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, including the accrual of interest expense related to our long-term debt that is paid on a semi-annual basis, Series A Preferred distribution, current income tax expense, maintenance capital expenditures, and other non-cash adjustments. Further adjustments are made to distributable cash flow for certain transaction-related and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income. |
|
We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because: | |
|
| |
|
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income (loss) as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have limitations as analytical tools, and one should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include: | |
|
| |
|
(3) |
Includes amounts from discontinued operations. |
Capital Spending
SUN's gross capital expenditures for the second quarter were $33 million, which included $26 million for growth capital and $7 million for maintenance capital.
Excluding acquisitions, SUN expects to spend approximately $150 million on growth capital and approximately $80 million on maintenance capital for the full year 2017.
Growth capital spending includes the rebuilding of locations SUN is operating on the Indiana Toll Road.

5/9/2017Sunoco LP Announces First Quarter Financial and Operating Results
Source: PR Newswire
Orignial Article: http://www.prnewswire.com...
DALLAS, May 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) ("SUN" or the "Partnership") today announced financial and operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.
Revenue totaled $4.4 billion, an increase of 36.7 percent, compared to $3.2 billion in the first quarter of 2016. The increase was the result of the average selling price of fuel being 56 cents per gallon higher than last year, additional wholesale gallons sold and increased merchandise sales.
Total gross profit was $503 million, compared to $511 million in the first quarter of 2016.
The key driver of the decrease was lower wholesale motor fuel profits partly offset by increases in retail motor fuel and merchandise profits.
Income from operations was $48 million, versus $92 million in the first quarter of 2016. General and administrative expenses increased $6 million from the first quarter 2016 to $64 million primarily due to increased salary and benefit costs. Other operating expenses increased $14 million from the first quarter 2016 to $263 million as a result of stores acquired or opened in the last 12 months.
Net income was $1 million, or ($0.22) per diluted unit, versus $62 million, or $0.47 per diluted unit, in the first quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA (1) for the quarter totaled $155 million, compared with $159 million in the first quarter of 2016. The unfavorable year-over-year comparison reflects decreased wholesale motor fuel gross profit contribution and increased total operating expenses.
Distributable cash flow (1), as adjusted, was $77 million, compared to $112 million a year ago. This year over year decrease reflects an increase in cash interest expense.
On a weighted-average basis, fuel margin for all gallons sold decreased to 14.5 cents per gallon, compared to 14.7 cents per gallon in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower margins in the wholesale segment.
Net income for the wholesale segment was $42 million compared to $87 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $95 million, versus $103 million in the first quarter of last year. Total wholesale gallons sold were 1,313 million, compared to 1,233 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of 6.5 percent as a result of growth in both the Southwest geography and unbranded business and contribution from the Emerge acquisition. This includes gallons sold to consignment stores and third-party customers, including independent dealers, fuel distributors and commercial customers. The Partnership earned 10.6 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 11.4 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Net loss for the retail segment was $41 million compared to a net loss of $25 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $60 million, versus $56 million in the first quarter of last year. Total retail gallons sold decreased by 2.1 percent to 595 million gallons as a result of the decreased demand across SUN's operating geography, particularly along the East Coast. The Partnership earned 23.1 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 21.3 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Total merchandise sales increased by 3.1 percent from a year ago to $540 million, reflecting the contribution from third party acquisitions and new-to-industry locations opened during the last 12 months. Merchandise sales contributed $170 million of gross profit with a retail merchandise margin of 31.6 percent, a decrease of 0.1 percentage points from the first quarter of 2016.
Same-store merchandise sales decreased by 1.1 percent during the first quarter, reflecting weakness in convenience store and restaurant operations in Texas, partly offset by growth in SUN's East Coast and Hawaiian operations. Same-store gallons decreased by 5.7 percent as a result of weakness throughout SUN's retail geography. In the Texas oil producing regions, same-store merchandise sales increased by 1.6 percent, and same-store gallons increased 1.1 percent. Both same store merchandise sales and same store fuel sales were impacted from a leap day in the first quarter of last year by approximately 1.1 percent.
As of March 31, 2017, SUN operated 1,355 convenience stores and retail fuel outlets along the East Coast, in the Southwest and in Hawaii. Third party wholesale customers totaled 7,825.
SUN's other recent accomplishments include the following:
SUN's segment results and other supplementary data are provided after the financial tables below.
Distribution
On April 27, 2017 the Board of Directors of SUN's general partner declared a distribution for the first quarter of 2017 of $0.8255 per unit, which corresponds to $3.3020 per unit on an annualized basis. This distribution was unchanged from the fourth quarter 2016 and represented a 1.0 percent increase compared with the first quarter of 2016. The distribution will be paid on May 16 to unitholders of record on May 9.
SUN's distribution coverage ratio for the first quarter was 0.74 times. The distribution coverage ratio on a trailing 12-month basis was 0.88 times.
Liquidity
At March 31, SUN had borrowings against its revolving line of credit of $761 million and other long-term debt of $3.6 billion. Availability on the revolving credit facility after borrowings and letters of credit commitments was $718 million. In the first quarter of 2017, SUN issued 1.3 million common units through its at-the-market equity program, generating net proceeds of $33 million. The leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA, calculated in accordance with SUN's credit agreements, including the revolving credit facility and Term Loan A, was 6.31 times at the end of the first quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures of performance that have limitations and should not be considered as a substitute for net income. Please refer to the discussion and tables under "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures" later in this news release for a discussion of our use of Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow, and a reconciliation to net income. |

_______________________________
|
(1) |
Excludes the impact of inventory fair value adjustments consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. |
|
(2) |
EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect certain other non-recurring and non-cash items. We define Adjusted EBITDA to also include adjustments for unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory fair value adjustments. We define distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, including the accrual of interest expense related to our long-term debt that is paid on a semi-annual basis, Series A Preferred distribution, current income tax expense, maintenance capital expenditures, and other non-cash adjustments. Further adjustments are made to distributable cash flow for certain transaction-related and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income (loss) as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have limitations as analytical tools, and one should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include: |
Capital Spending
SUN's gross capital expenditures for the first quarter were $66 million, which included $48 million for growth capital and $18 million for maintenance capital. Approximately $14.4 million of the growth capital spent was for the construction of new-to-industry sites, of which 10 opened in the first quarter. The construction of all 10 of these sites started in 2016.
Excluding acquisitions, SUN expects approximately $150 million to be spent on growth capital and approximately $90 million to be spent on maintenance capital for the full year 2017.
Growth capital spending includes the rebuilding of locations SUN is operating on the Indiana Toll Road.

Orignial Article: http://www.prnewswire.com...
DALLAS, April 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) ("SUN") today announced that it entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement for the sale of a majority of its convenience stores to 7-Eleven, Inc. ("7-Eleven").
Total consideration in the transaction is $3.3 billion in cash plus fuel, merchandise and other inventories. SUN expects to use the proceeds to repay indebtedness and for general partnership purposes.
SUN President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Owens stated, "The sale of these retail assets to 7-Eleven is the beginning of an exciting evolution for SUN into a premier nationwide fuel supplier. Our supply agreement with 7-Eleven provides SUN with a predictable long-term income stream, and this transaction quickly allows SUN to improve its financial profile."
Assets being sold to 7-Eleven include approximately 1,110 convenience stores in 19 geographic regions primarily along the East Coast and in Texas, and the associated trademarks and intellectual property of the Laredo Taco Company and Stripes. As part of the transaction, SUN will enter into a 15-year take-or-pay fuel supply agreement with a 7-Eleven subsidiary under which SUN will supply approximately 2.2 billion gallons of fuel annually. This supply agreement will have guaranteed annual payments to SUN, provides that 7-Eleven will continue to use the Sunoco brand at currently branded Sunoco stores and includes committed growth in future periods.
Approximately 200 convenience stores in North and West Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma will be sold in a separate process. SUN's Aloha Petroleum business unit in Hawaii will continue to operate its highly efficient and integrated business model within SUN. Likewise, the transaction does not include SUN's highly successful APlus franchisee-operated stores.
SUN's transaction with 7-Eleven is the first step in SUN's strategic shift away from company-operated convenience stores to focus on its industry-leading fuel supply business. Led by the iconic Sunoco fuel brand and successful APlus franchise, SUN plans to be a leading consolidator in the domestic wholesale fuels business, supplying fuel to a network of more than 8,900 locations of third-party dealers, distributors and other commercial customers, with an enhanced focus on MLP qualifying income. Additionally, the proceeds received in this transaction will be used to further enhance SUN's credit profile and leverage profile.
This transaction is subject to regulatory clearances and customary closing conditions and is expected to close by the fourth quarter 2017.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC ("JP Morgan") served as SUN's exclusive financial advisor for the transaction. In addition, SUN has retained JP Morgan to market the approximately 200 remaining convenience stores in North and West Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
Conference Call
Sunoco LP management will hold a conference call on Thursday, April 6, at 8:00 a.m. CT (9:00 a.m. ET) to discuss the transaction. To participate, dial 201-389-0877 approximately 10 minutes early and ask for the Sunoco LP conference call.

Sunoco LP (Stripes Stores And APlus Stores) To Raise Funds For Children's Miracle Network Hospitals®
Source: PR Newswire
Orignial Article: http://www.prnewswire.com...
SALT LAKE CITY and DALLAS, April 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Now through May 3, Stripes® Convenience Stores and APlus® Stores will be asking customers to "Put Their Money Where The Miracles Are" and purchase a $1 Miracle Balloon to raise funds for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals).
Stripes and APlus, operated by Sunoco LP, have partnered with CMN Hospitals since 2000, raising more than $11 million for sick and injured kids. In 2016, Sunoco's team members raised more than $1.8 million during their spring campaign.
"Sunoco LP is committed to serving the needs of the communities in which we live and work," said Eduardo Pereda, Vice President of Convenience Brands for Sunoco LP. "Over the past 16 years, our guests have inspired us through their generous spirit by showing incredible support for our local children's hospitals. That generous spirit has energized all of us at Sunoco LP to continue the partnership in 2017 in the hopes of helping even more children in our communities."
Funds raised through the in-store campaigns are unrestricted, meaning the hospitals can use the funds where they are needed most. Donations raised during the campaign have a direct impact on the millions of kids treated at local CMN Hospitals. These funds help kids like Morgan, a leukemia patient treated at Hendrick Children's Hospital in Texas. Donations helped purchase infusion kits that helped Morgan get better.
"Stripes and APlus Stores are a huge part of helping kids in the communities these stores serve get better," said John Lauck, president and CEO of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. "I can't thank stores' customers and employees enough for all they do for the kids."
Funds raised from the CMNH partnership with Sunoco will stay in the local communities. These donations help make miracles happen by funding vital medical care, equipment and therapy programs that save and improve the lives of more than 10 million sick and injured children a year.

2/27/2017Sunoco LP Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Financial and Operating Results
Source: PR Newswire
Orignial Article: http://www.prnewswire.com...
DALLAS, Feb. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) ("SUN" or the "Partnership") today announced financial and operating results for the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2016.
Revenue totaled $4.3 billion, an increase of 4.9 percent, compared to $4.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase was the result of growth in wholesale and retail fuel gallons sold and higher merchandise sales, partly offset by a one cent per gallon decrease in the average selling price of fuel.
Total gross profit was $561.9 million, compared to $464.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Key drivers of the increase were higher retail and wholesale motor fuel profits due to an increase in total gallons sold.
Loss from operations was $568.4 million, versus income from operations of $51.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, reflecting a goodwill impairment charge of $641.6 million and an intangible asset impairment charge of $32.0 million recorded during the fourth quarter, both of which were non-cash items. General and administrative expenses increased $17.9 million from the fourth quarter 2015 to $67.2 million primarily due to acquisition costs and expenses incurred with the opening of a corporate office in Dallas, Texas. Other operating expenses increased $10.9 million from the fourth quarter 2015 to $267.2 million as a result of stores acquired or opened in the last 12 months.
Net loss attributable to partners was $585.2 million, or ($6.32) per diluted unit, versus net income attributable to partners of $7.8 million, or ($0.13) per diluted unit, in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to partners (1) for the quarter totaled $153.6 million, compared with $188.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The unfavorable year-over-year comparison reflects lower cent per gallon fuel margins in the retail and wholesale segments and lower merchandise gross profit contribution.
Distributable cash flow attributable to partners (1), as adjusted, was $62.6 million, compared to $90.1 million a year ago. This year over year decrease reflects an increase in cash interest expense, income tax expense and maintenance capital expenditures.
On a weighted-average basis, fuel margin for all gallons sold decreased to 14.3 cents per gallon, compared to 15.7 cents per gallon in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to increased product costs experienced during the fourth quarter.
Net income attributable to partners for the wholesale segment was $61.4 million compared to a net loss of $10.2 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $76.9 million, versus $82.7 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Total wholesale gallons sold were 1,358.7 million, compared to 1,241.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of 9.5 percent as a result of contribution from third party acquisitions during the last 12 months. This includes gallons sold to consignment stores and third-party customers, including independent dealers, fuel distributors and commercial customers. The Partnership earned 9.0 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 9.6 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Net loss attributable to partners for the retail segment was $646.6 million compared to a net income of $17.9 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $76.7 million, versus $106.0 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Total retail gallons sold increased by 1.0 percent to 626.1 million gallons as a result of the contribution from third party acquisitions and new-to-industry locations opened during the last 12 months. The Partnership earned 25.7 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 27.8 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Total merchandise sales increased by 3.8 percent from a year ago to $565.8 million, reflecting the contribution from third party acquisitions and new-to-industry locations opened during the last 12 months. Merchandise sales contributed $169.0 million of gross profit with a retail merchandise margin of 29.9 percent, a decrease of 1.2 percentage points from the fourth quarter of 2015.
Same-store merchandise sales were flat during the fourth quarter, reflecting growth in SUN's East Coast operations offset by continued weakness in convenience store operations in Texas, particularly in the oil producing regions. Same-store gallons decreased by 1.9 percent as a result of weakness throughout the state of Texas, particularly lower year-over-year activity in oil producing regions. In the Texas oil producing regions, same-store merchandise sales decreased by 4.2 percent, and same-store gallons declined 3.9 percent. Excluding the oil producing regions, same-store merchandise sales increased by 0.7 percent, and same-store gallons decreased by 1.7 percent.
As of December 31, 2016, SUN operated 1,345 convenience stores and retail fuel outlets along the East Coast, in the Southwest and in Hawaii. Third party wholesale customers totaled 7,845.
SUN's other recent accomplishments include the following:
SUN's segment results and other supplementary data are provided after the financial tables below.
FY 2016 Compared to FY 2015
Revenue for the full year 2016 totaled $15.7 billion, a 15.0 percent decrease compared to full year 2015. Gross profit for this period increased 11.8 percent year-over-year to $2.2 billion.
Wholesale gallons sold to third parties increased by 2.6 percent to 5.3 billion gallons. Retail gallons sold increased by 1.1 percent to 2.5 billion gallons. On a weighted-average basis, fuel margin for all gallons sold decreased to 14.4 cents per gallon for the full year 2016, versus 14.9 cents per gallon in the full year 2015.
Total merchandise sales increased by 4.3 percent from full year 2015 to $2.3 billion. Merchandise sales contributed $716.0 million of gross profit with a retail merchandise margin of 31.5 percent, a 26 basis point increase from full year 2015.
Net loss attributable to partners for the full year 2016 totaled $406.5 million, a decrease of $493.7 million compared to full year 2015. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to partners was $665.3 million, compared to $715.3 million for the 2015 period, and distributable cash flow, as adjusted was $390.3 million, versus $272.2 million for 2015.
Distribution
On February 1, 2017 the Board of Directors of SUN's general partner declared a distribution for the fourth quarter of 2016 of $0.8255 per unit, which corresponds to $3.3020 per unit on an annualized basis. This distribution was unchanged from the third quarter and represented a 3.0 percent increase compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. The distribution was paid on February 21 to unitholders of record on February 13.
SUN's distribution coverage ratio for the fourth quarter was 0.61 times. The distribution coverage ratio on a trailing 12-month basis was 0.98 times.
Liquidity
At December 31, SUN had borrowings against its revolving line of credit of $1.0 billion and other long-term debt of $3.6 billion. Availability on the revolving credit facility after borrowings and letters of credit commitments was $469.0 million. In the fourth quarter of 2016, SUN issued 2.8 million common units through its at-the-market equity program, generating net proceeds of $71.4 million. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, calculated in accordance with SUN's revolving credit facility, was 6.50 times at the end of the fourth quarter.
(1) Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures of performance that have limitations and should not be considered as a substitute for net income. Please refer to the discussion and tables under "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures" later in this news release for a discussion of our use of Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow, and a reconciliation to net income.

_______________________________
|
(1) |
Excludes the impact of inventory fair value adjustments consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. | |
|
(2) |
EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect certain other non-recurring and non-cash items. We define Adjusted EBITDA to also include adjustments for unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory fair value adjustments. We define distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, including the accrual of interest expense related to our long-term debt that is paid on a semi-annual basis, current income tax expense, maintenance capital expenditures, and other non-cash adjustments. Further adjustments are made to distributable cash flow for certain transaction-related and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income. | |
|
We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because: | ||
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance measure under our revolving credit facility; | |
|
• |
securities analysts and other interested parties use such metrics as measures of financial performance, ability to make distributions to our unitholders and debt service capabilities; | |
|
• |
our management uses them for internal planning purposes, including aspects of our consolidated operating budget, and capital expenditures; and | |
|
• |
distributable cash flow provides useful information to investors as it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance, and as it provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating. | |
|
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income (loss) as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have limitations as analytical tools, and one should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include: | ||
|
• |
they do not reflect our total cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; | |
|
• |
they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital; | |
|
• |
they do not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our revolving credit facility or term loan; | |
|
• |
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements; and | |
|
• |
as not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. | |
|
(3) |
Reflects the partnership's cash interest less the cash interest paid on our VIE debt of $9 million and $2 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended December 31, 2015, respectively. | |
|
(4) |
Due to the change in fuel prices, we recorded a write-down on the value of fuel inventory of $98 million and $64 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended December 31, 2015, respectively. | |
Capital Spending
SUN's gross capital expenditures for the fourth quarter were $148.1 million, which included $115.1 million for growth capital and $33.0 million for maintenance capital. Approximately $53.6 million of the growth capital spent was for the construction of new-to-industry sites, of which 14 were opened in the fourth quarter.
For the full year, SUN invested $332.4 million in growth capital and $106.2 million in maintenance capital. $126.8 million of growth capital was invested in 28 new-to-industry sites opened in 2016, with an additional 10 that opened during the first quarter 2017.
Excluding acquisitions, SUN expects approximately $200 million to be spent on growth capital and approximately $90 million to be spent on maintenance capital for the full year 2017.
Growth capital spending includes the rebuilding of locations SUN is operating on the Indiana Toll Road.

Orignial Article: http://www.prnewswire.com...
DALLAS, Nov. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) ("SUN" or the "Partnership") today announced financial and operating results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016.
Revenue totaled $4.1 billion, a decrease of 16.3 percent, compared to $4.9 billion in the third quarter of 2015. The decline was the result of a 47.1 cent per gallon decrease in the average selling price of fuel partly offset by increased merchandise sales and additional gallons sold.
Total gross profit was $577.4 million, compared to $524.8 million in the third quarter of 2015. Key drivers of the increase were higher wholesale motor fuel and merchandise profits partly offset by a decrease in retail motor fuel gross profit.
Income from operations was $104.2 million, versus $93.4 million in the third quarter of 2015, reflecting increased gross profit, partly offset by increased general and administrative and other operating expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to relocation costs and associated expenses incurred with the opening of a corporate office in Dallas, Texas, while the increase in other operating expenses was driven by operating more stores on a year-over-year basis.
Net income attributable to partners was $44.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted unit, versus $27.5 million, or $0.30 per diluted unit, in the third quarter of 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA (1) for the quarter totaled $188.9 million, compared with $253.7 million in the third quarter of 2015. The unfavorable year-over-year comparison reflects lower fuel margins in both the retail and wholesale segments.
Distributable cash flow attributable to partners (1), as adjusted, was $124.1 million, compared to $112.4 million a year earlier.
On a weighted-average basis, fuel margin for all gallons sold decreased to 15.6 cents per gallon, compared to 18.6 cents per gallon in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to increased product costs experienced during the third quarter.
Net income attributable to partners for the wholesale segment was $47.3 million compared to a net income of $2.6 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $87.9 million, versus $107.0 million in the third quarter of last year. Total wholesale gallons sold were 1,371.2 million, compared with 1,308.8 million in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of 4.8 percent. This includes gallons sold to consignment stores and third-party customers, including independent dealers, fuel distributors and commercial customers. The Partnership earned 10.0 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 12.5 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Net loss attributable to partners for the retail segment was $2.8 million compared to a net income of $24.9 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $101.1 million, versus $146.7 million in the third quarter of last year. Total retail gallons sold increased by 1.8 percent to 651.4 million gallons as a result of the contribution from third party acquisitions and new-to-industry locations opened during the last 12 months. The Partnership earned 27.5 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 31.2 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Total merchandise sales increased by 2.7 percent from a year ago to $605.3 million, reflecting the contribution from third party acquisitions and new-to-industry locations opened during the last 12 months. Merchandise sales contributed $192.3 million of gross profit with a retail merchandise margin of 31.8 percent, a 40 basis point increase from the third quarter of 2015.
Same-store merchandise sales decreased by 2.1 percent, reflecting continued weakness in SUN's convenience store operations in Texas, particularly in the oil producing regions. Same-store fuel sales decreased by 3.5 percent as a result of weakness throughout the state of Texas, particularly lower year-over-year activity in oil producing markets. In the Texas oil producing regions, same-store merchandise sales decreased by 13.0 percent, and same-store fuel sales declined 13.7 percent. Excluding the oil producing regions, same-store sales decreased by 0.4 percent, and same-store gallons decreased by 2.3 percent.
As of September 30, SUN operated approximately 1,345 convenience stores and retail fuel outlets along the East Coast, in the Southwest and in Hawaii. Third party operated sites totaled 5,600 locations.
SUN's other recent accomplishments include the following:
SUN's segment results and other supplementary data are provided after the financial tables below.
Distribution
On October 26, the Board of Directors of SUN's general partner declared a distribution for the third quarter of 2016 of $0.8255 per unit, which corresponds to $3.3020 per unit on an annualized basis. This distribution is unchanged from the second quarter and represents a 10.7 percent increase compared with the third quarter of 2015. The distribution will be paid on November 15 to unitholders of record on November 7.
SUN's distribution coverage ratio for the third quarter was 1.25 times. The distribution coverage ratio on a trailing 12-month basis was 1.09 times.
Liquidity
At September 30, SUN had borrowings against its revolving line of credit of $958.2 million and other long-term debt of $3.6 billion. Availability on the revolving credit facility after borrowings and letters of credit commitments was $518.2 million. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, calculated in accordance with SUN's revolving credit facility, was 5.97 times at the end of the third quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures of performance that have limitations and should not be considered as a substitute for net income. Please refer to the discussion and tables under "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures" later in this news release for a discussion of our use of Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow, and a reconciliation to net income. |

Excludes the impact of inventory fair value adjustments consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. | ||||||
|
(2) |
We define EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA to include adjustments for non-cash compensation expense, gains and losses on disposal of assets, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory fair value adjustments. We define distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense including the accrual of interest expense related to our 2020 and 2023 Senior Notes that is paid on a semi-annual basis, current income tax expense, maintenance capital expenditures, and other non-cash adjustments. Further adjustments are made to distributable cash flow for certain transaction-related and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income. | ||||||
We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because:
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income (loss) as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

Safeway Partners with Sunoco to Bring Popular Gas Rewards Program to East Coast Sunoco Stations

Orignial Article: http://www.prnewswire.com...
LANHAM, Md., Aug. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Safeway and Sunoco LP have teamed up to expand Safeway's popular Gas Rewards program to Sunoco stations in parts of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C.
Safeway customers who earn Gas Reward when they shop now have the option of redeeming their Rewards, up to 20 cents off per gallon, at Sunoco stations. The expansion of the Gas Rewards program helps to maximize value and savings for both Safeway and Sunoco customers through the combination of quality, convenience and rewards.
"Our Gas Rewards program is an easy and convenient way to save money while doing something you do every week — shop for groceries," said Safeway Eastern Division President Dan Valenzuela. "We're excited to team up with Sunoco, a powerhouse in the fuel industry that has stations throughout the East Coast, to bring Sunoco customers, as well as our own valued customers, additional savings when they fuel up at Sunoco stations."
Previously, Safeway's Gas Rewards, which increase with each $100 spent using a Safeway Club Card, were redeemable only at Safeway fuel stations.
Beyond savings, customers also benefit from the ease with which they can earn and redeem their Reward Points. With more than 120 Safeway stores in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. offering the program to shoppers, and approximately 200 Sunoco stations currently participating, grocery shopping and saving at the pump are now even more convenient.
"Sunoco is always looking for innovative ways to provide value to our customers and reward them for choosing our brand," said Cynthia A. Archer, Sunoco LP Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "We're excited to offer our customers even more benefits through our partnership with Safeway."
Customers can register at Safeway.com or by downloading the Safeway App on their Android or iOS devices. With the Gas Rewards program, for every 100 Reward Points earned by shopping at Safeway stores using the Safeway Club Card, customers receive a 10 cent-per-gallon Gas Reward. Customers earn Reward Points every time they swipe their club card or input their registered phone number at checkout at their local Safeway store. Reward Points can be earned by shopping at Safeway stores in the following ways:
Customers redeem their Gas Rewards by simply entering their registered phone number at the pump or inside the station before fueling.
The Gas Rewards program is also available in Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Pavilions and Carrs stores located in Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. See the Reward Points Program Terms and Conditions at Safeway.com or in stores for complete details.

8/11/2016Sunoco LP Announces Second Quarter 2016 Financial and Operating Results
Source: PR Newswire
Orignial Article: http://www.prnewswire.com...
DALLAS, Aug. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) ("SUN" or the "Partnership") today announced financial and operating results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016.
Revenue totaled $4.1 billion, a decrease of 19.6 percent, compared to $5.1 billion in the second quarter of 2015. The decline was the result of a 60.5 cent per gallon decrease in the average selling price of fuel partly offset by an increase in retail merchandise sales.
Total gross profit was $580.6 million, compared to $545.2 million in the second quarter of 2015. Key drivers of the increase were a higher total weighted average fuel margin, an increase in merchandise margin and the contribution from third party acquisitions and new-to-industry locations opened during the last 12 months.
Income from operations was $124.2 million, versus $123.7 million in the second quarter of 2015, reflecting an increase in gross profit offset by higher general and administrative and other operating expenses.
Net income attributable to partners was $72.1 million, or $0.53 per diluted unit, versus $34.9 million, or $0.87 per diluted unit, in the second quarter of 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA (1) for the quarter totaled $164.0 million, compared with $142.4 million in the second quarter of 2015. The favorable year-over-year comparison reflects stronger retail fuel and merchandise margins, the contribution from third party acquisitions and new-to-industry locations opened during the last 12 months offset by weaker wholesale margins.
Distributable cash flow attributable to partners (1), as adjusted, was $92.2 million, compared to $39.3 million a year earlier.
On a weighted-average basis, fuel margin for all gallons sold increased to 13.8 cents per gallon, compared to 12.9 cents per gallon in the second quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in margins in both the retail and wholesale segments.
Net income attributable to partners for the wholesale segment was $83.2 million compared to $30.7 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $77.3 million, versus $61.5 million in the second quarter of last year. Total wholesale gallons sold were 1,315.7 million, compared with 1,285.0 million in the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 2.4 percent. This includes gallons sold to consignment stores and third-party customers, including independent dealers, fuel distributors and commercial customers. The Partnership earned 8.8 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 8.6 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Net loss attributable to partners for the retail segment was $11.0 million compared to a net income of $4.2 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $86.7 million, versus $80.9 million in the second quarter of last year. Total retail gallons sold increased by 0.3 percent to 641.2 million gallons as a result of the contribution from third party acquisitions and new-to-industry locations opened during the last 12 months. The Partnership earned 24.0 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 21.4 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Total merchandise sales increased by 2.8 percent from a year ago to $576.6 million, reflecting the contribution from third party acquisitions and new-to-industry locations opened during the last 12 months. Merchandise sales contributed $187.3 million of gross profit with a retail merchandise margin of 32.5 percent, a 100 basis point increase from the second quarter of 2015.
Same-store merchandise sales decreased by 1.8 percent, reflecting continued weakness in SUN's convenience store operations in the Texas oil producing regions and inclement weather in May in Texas and on the East Coast. Same-store fuel sales decreased by 2.8 percent as a result of weakness throughout the state of Texas, particularly lower year-over-year activity in oil producing markets. In the Texas oil producing regions, same-store merchandise sales decreased by 15.6 percent, and same-store fuel sales declined 17.9 percent. Excluding the oil producing regions, same-store sales increased by 0.6 percent, and same-store gallons decreased by 1.0 percent.
As of June 30, SUN operated approximately 1,340 convenience stores and retail fuel outlets along the East Coast, in the Southwest and in Hawaii. Third party operated sites totaled approximately 5,600 locations.
SUN's other recent accomplishments include the following:
SUN's segment results and other supplementary data are provided after the financial tables below.
Distribution Increase
On July 26, the Board of Directors of SUN's general partner declared a distribution for the second quarter of 2016 of $0.8255 per unit, which corresponds to $3.3020 per unit on an annualized basis. This represents a 1.0 percent increase compared to the distribution for the first quarter of 2016 and a 19.1 percent increase compared with the second quarter of 2015. This is the Partnership's thirteenth consecutive quarterly increase. The distribution will be paid on August 15 to unitholders of record on August 5.
SUN's distribution coverage ratio for the second quarter was 0.93 times. The distribution coverage ratio on a trailing 12-month basis was 1.20 times.
Liquidity
At June 30, SUN had borrowings against its revolving line of credit of $675.0 million and other long-term debt of $3.6 billion. Availability on the revolving credit facility after borrowings and letters of credit commitments was $802.8 million. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, pro forma for acquisitions, was 5.2 times at the end of the second quarter.

Excludes the impact of inventory fair value adjustments consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. |
|
(2) |
We define EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA to include adjustments for non-cash compensation expense, gains and losses on disposal of assets, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory fair value adjustments. We define distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense including the accrual of interest expense related to our 2020 and 2023 Senior Notes that is paid on a semi-annual basis, current income tax expense, maintenance capital expenditures, and other non-cash adjustments. Further adjustments are made to distributable cash flow for certain transaction-related and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income. |
We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because:
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income (loss) as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):
