Parkland Reports 2025 Third Quarter Results and Provides Update on the Sunoco Transaction

Strong third quarter Adjusted EBITDA1 of $540 million

On track to deliver midpoint of 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance2 of $1.8 to $2.1 billion

Sunoco Transaction3 expected to close on October 31, 2025

CALGARY, ABOct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Parkland Corporation (”Parkland”, “we”, the “Company”, or “our”) (TSX: PKI), today announced its financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

“Parkland delivered another strong quarter, reflecting the strength of its diversified business, and clearly demonstrating our ability to deliver 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance,” said Bob Espey, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we approach this important milestone, I am incredibly proud and grateful of the Parkland team and the industry leading business we have built together. I am excited about Parkland’s next phase of growth with Sunoco, the power of the combined platform, and have confidence in the Company’s ability to deliver significant synergies and long-term value for its stakeholders.”

Q3 2025 Highlights

  • Delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $540 million, up from $431 million in Q3 2024, primarily driven by strong operations and margins at the Burnaby Refinery and robust performance in the Canada and International segments. These were partially offset by softness in the USA segment due to continued macroeconomic pressures and competition.
  • Net earnings of $129 million ($0.74 per share, basic), up from $91 million ($0.52 per share, basic) in Q3 2024, and Adjusted earnings4 of $180 million ($1.03 per share4, basic), as compared to $106 million ($0.61 per share, basic) in Q3 2024.
  • Trailing twelve months (”TTM”) Available cash flow4 of $668 million ($3.83 per share4), up from $627 million ($3.58 per share) in 2024, primarily driven by higher Adjusted EBITDA. TTM Cash generated from operating activities2 of $1,646 million ($9.45 per share2), up from $1,490 million ($8.51 per share) in 2024.
  • Leverage Ratio5 decreased to 3.1 times (3.6 times in Q4 2024) and liquidity available2 of approximately $2.3 billion.
  • Total recordable injury frequency rate6 on a TTM basis was 1.07, compared to 1.04 in Q3 2024.

Q3 2025 Segment Highlights

  • Canada delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $208 million, compared to $196 million in Q3 2024, driven by stronger fuel unit margins from continued price and supply optimization. Results were partially offset by softer retail demand in our company-owned network, which is reflected in our Company same-store volume growth (”Company SSVG”)6 of (2.3) percent. Food and Company C-Store same-store sales growth (”Food and Company C-Store SSSG”)4 excluding cigarettes was 4.1 percent, reflecting continued growth in alcohol and packaged beverages driven by successful marketing initiatives through our loyalty program.
  • International delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $161 million, compared to $150 million in Q3 2024, reflecting strong volume growth in both the retail and commercial businesses.
  • USA delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $28 million, compared to $52 million in Q3 2024, driven by lower fuel unit margins due to an ongoing competitive pricing environment and reduced rail and regional arbitrage opportunities.
  • Refining delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $151 million, compared to $48 million in Q3 2024, driven by higher refining margins combined with strong composite utilization6 of 103.1 percent.

Update on the Sunoco Transaction

Parkland announced that the Transaction is expected to close on October 31, 2025, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. Following completion of the Transaction, Parkland shares will be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Common Units representing limited liability company interests in SunocoCorp (”SunocoCorp Units”), to be issued to shareholders of Parkland in connection with the Transaction, are expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on November 3, 2025 under the ticker symbol “SUNC”.

Parkland also announced the preliminary results of the elections in respect of the consideration received pursuant to the Transaction. Based on the elections received by the election deadline of October 17, 2025:

  • Parkland shareholders holding approximately 94,964,700 Parkland shares elected the all-cash consideration,
  • Parkland shareholders holding approximately 9,734,800 Parkland shares elected the all SunocoCorp Unit consideration; and
  • Parkland shareholders holding approximately 69,911,000 Parkland shares elected, or were deemed to have elected, a combination of cash and SunocoCorp Unit consideration.

The all-cash elected consideration and all SunocoCorp Unit elected consideration are subject to proration, maximum amounts and adjustments in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

Due to the pending closing of the Transaction, Parkland will not host a conference call or webcast to discuss its third quarter results.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking information and statements (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). When used the words “expect”, “will”, “could”, “would”, “believe”, “continue”, “pursue”, “on track”, “aim” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements with respect to, among other things: business strategies, objectives and initiatives; expectation to remain on track to achieve midpoint of 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance range; Parkland’s ability to achieve 2025 guidance; the combined company’s ability to deliver significant synergies and long-term value to stakeholders; and the Transaction, including the completion and timing thereof, and expectations respecting the trading of the SunocoCorp Units.

These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this news release should not be unduly relied upon. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this news release. Parkland does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by securities law. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the completion of the Transaction, including the timing thereof and realizing the benefits resulting therefrom; Parkland’s ability to successfully integrate its operations with Sunoco following the Transaction; general economic, market and business conditions; micro and macroeconomic trends and conditions, including increases in interest rates, inflation, imposition of tariffs and fluctuating commodity prices; Parkland’s ability to execute its business objectives, projects and strategies, including the completion, financing and timing thereof, realizing the benefits therefrom, meeting our targets, outlook and commitments relating thereto, and the impact of the Transaction thereon; ability to remain on track to achieve the midpoint of 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance range and achieve its 2025 guidance and the assumptions relating thereto; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Parkland and the assumptions and risks described in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” included in Parkland’s most recently filed Annual Information Form, and in “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” in the Q4 2024 MD&A, each as filed on SEDAR+ and available on the Parkland website at www.parkland.ca. In addition, the 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance reflects continued integration of acquired businesses and synergy capture, and progression of organic growth initiatives, and key material assumptions include: market trends in line with Parkland’s current expectations; expected performance from Parkland’s combined retail and commercial lines of business during the 2025 financial year that is consistent with the prior year; Burnaby Refinery composite utilization of 90 to 95% based on the Burnaby Refinery’s crude processing capacity of 55,000 bpd, and completion of planned maintenance, including deferral of the previously planned turnaround to 2026; and implementation of ongoing cost reductions across the business. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

Specified Financial Measures

This news release contains total of segments measures, non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures (collectively, “specified financial measures”). Parkland’s management uses certain specified financial measures to analyze the operating and financial performance, leverage, and liquidity of the business. These specified financial measures do not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (”IFRS Accounting Standards”) and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The specified financial measures should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards. See Section 15 of the Q3 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding specified financial measures used by Parkland.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios

Adjusted earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio, each representing the underlying core operating performance of business activities of Parkland at a consolidated level. The most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is Net earnings (loss).

Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share represent how well Parkland’s operational business is performing, while considering depreciation and amortization, interest on leases and long-term debt, accretion and other finance costs, and income taxes. The Company uses these measures because it believes that Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share are useful for management and investors in assessing the Company’s overall performance, as they exclude certain items that are not reflective of the Company’s underlying business operations.

See Section 15 of the Q3 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for the detailed definition and composition of Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share.

Please see below for the reconciliation of Adjusted earnings (loss) to net earnings (loss) and the calculation of Adjusted earnings (loss) per share.

Other adjusting items for the three months ended September 30, 2025, include: (i) the share of depreciation, income taxes and other adjustments for investments in joint ventures and associates of $8 million (2024 – $4 million); (ii) other income of $3 million (2024 – $3 million); and (iii) realized gains and losses on risk management and other assets and liabilities related to underlying physical sales activity in another period of $3 million gain (2024 – nil). Other adjusting items for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, include: (i) the share of depreciation, income taxes and other adjustments for investments in joint ventures and associates of $21 million (2024 – $11 million); (ii) other income of $6 million (2024 – $8 million); (iii) realized gains and losses on risk management and other assets and liabilities related to underlying physical sales activity in another period of $4 million gain (2024 – $12 million loss); (iv) adjustment to foreign exchange gains and losses related to cash pooling arrangements of $4 million gain (2024 – $4 million loss); and (v) realized risk management gains related to interest rate swaps, as these gains do not relate to commodity sale and purchase transactions, of nil (2024 -$2 million gain).


(2)

The tax normalization adjustment was applied to net earnings (loss) adjusting items that were considered temporary differences, such as acquisition, integration and other costs, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, unrealized gains and losses on risk management and other, gains and losses on asset disposals, changes in fair value of redemption options, changes in estimates of environmental provisions, loss on inventory write-downs for which there are offsetting associated risk management derivatives with unrealized gains, impairments of non-current assets and costs related to the Sunoco Transaction. The tax impact was estimated using the effective tax rates applicable to jurisdictions where the related items occur.

Weighted average number of common shares is calculated in accordance with Parkland’s accounting policy contained in Note 2 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.


(4)

For comparative purposes, certain amounts were reclassified between realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on risk management with no changes to Adjusted earnings (loss) to conform to the presentation used in the current period.

Available cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and Available cash flow per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio. The most directly comparable financial measure for Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share is cash generated from (used in) operating activities. Parkland uses these measures to set targets (including annual guidance and variable compensation target) and monitor its ability to generate cash flow for capital allocation, including distributions to shareholders, investment in the growth of the business, and deleveraging. See Section 15 of the Q3 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for the detailed definition and composition of Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share.

Weighted average number of common shares is calculated in accordance with Parkland’s accounting policy contained in Note 2 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

ROIC is a non-GAAP financial ratio. The measure is calculated as a ratio of Net operating profit after tax (”NOPAT”) divided by average invested capital. NOPAT describes the profitability of Parkland’s base operations, excluding the impact of leverage and certain other items of income and expenditure that are not considered representative of Parkland’s underlying core operating performance. NOPAT is based on Adjusted EBITDA, defined in the “Measures of Segment Profit (Loss) and Total of Segments Measures” section of this news release, less depreciation and amortization expense, including pro-forma depreciation on assets classified as held for sale, and the estimated tax expense using the expected average tax rate estimated using statutory tax rates in each jurisdiction where Parkland operates. Average invested capital is the amount of capital deployed by Parkland that represents the average of opening and closing debt, including debt liabilities classified as held for sale, as well as shareholder’s equity, including equity reserves, net of cash and cash equivalents. We use this non-GAAP measure to assess Parkland’s efficiency in investing capital.

Food and Company C-Store SSSG is a non-GAAP financial ratio and refers to the period-over-period sales growth generated by retail food and convenience stores at the same Company sites. The effects of opening and closing stores, temporary closures (including closures for On the Run / Marché Express conversions), expansions of stores, renovations of stores, and stores with changes in food service models in the period are excluded to derive a comparable same-store metric. Same-store sales growth is a metric commonly used in the retail industry that provides meaningful information to investors in assessing the health and strength of Parkland’s brands and retail network, which ultimately impacts financial performance. The most directly comparable financial measure to Food and Company C-Store SSSG is food and convenience store revenue within sales and operating revenue.

Below is a reconciliation of convenience store revenue (Food and C-Store revenue) for the Canada segment with the Food and Company C-Store same store sales (”SSS”), and the calculation of the Food and Company C-Store SSSG.

(1)

Percentages are calculated based on actual amounts and are impacted by rounding.


(2)

POS values used to calculate Food and Company C-Store SSSG are not a Parkland financial measure and do not form part of Parkland’s consolidated financial statements, as Parkland earns rental income from retailers in the form of a percentage rent on convenience store sales. POS values are calculated based on the information obtained from Parkland’s POS systems at retail sites, including transactional data, such as sales, costs, and volumes, which are subject to internal controls over financial reporting. We also use this data to calculate rental income from retailers in the form of a percentage rent on convenience store sales, which is recorded as revenue in our consolidated financial statements.


(3)

Includes rental income from retailers in the form of a percentage rent on Food and Company C-Store sales, royalty, and franchisee fees and excludes revenues from automated teller machines, POS system licensing fees, and other.


(4)

This adjustment excludes the effects of acquisitions, opening and closing stores, temporary closures (including closures for On the Run / Marché Express conversions), expansions of stores, renovations of stores, and stores with changes in food service models, to derive a comparable same-store metric.


(5)

Excludes sales from acquisitions completed within the year as these will not impact the metric until after the completion of one year of the acquisitions when the sales or volume generated establishes the baseline for these metrics.

These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Except as otherwise indicated, these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. See Section 15 of the Q3 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding Parkland’s non-GAAP financial measures and ratios.

Capital Management Measures

Parkland’s primary capital management measure is the Leverage Ratio, which is used internally by key management personnel to monitor Parkland’s overall financial strength, capital structure flexibility, and ability to service debt and meet current and future commitments. In order to manage its financing requirements, Parkland may adjust capital spending or dividends paid to shareholders or issue new shares or new debt. The Leverage Ratio is calculated as a ratio of Leverage Debt to Leverage EBITDA and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS Accounting Standards. It is, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The detailed calculation of the Leverage Ratio is as follows:

Measures of Segment Profit (Loss) and Total of Segments Measures

Adjusted earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (”Adjusted EBITDA”) is a measure of segment profit (loss) and its aggregate is a total of segments measure used by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resource allocation to the segment and to assess its performance. In accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, adjustments and eliminations made in preparing an entity’s financial statements and allocations of revenue, expenses, and gains or losses shall be included in determining reported segment profit (loss) only if they are included in the measure of the segment’s profit (loss) that is used by the chief operating decision maker. As such, Parkland’s Adjusted EBITDA is unlikely to be comparable to measures of segment profit (loss) presented by other issuers, who may calculate these measures differently. Parkland views Adjusted EBITDA as the key measure for the underlying core operating performance of business segment activities at an operational level. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to set targets for Parkland (including annual guidance and variable compensation targets) and is used to determine Parkland’s ability to service debt, finance capital expenditures and provide for dividend payments to shareholders. See Section 15 of the Q3 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for the detailed definition and composition of Adjusted EBITDA. Refer to the table below for the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

For comparative purposes, certain amounts were reclassified between realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on risk management for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, with no changes to Net earnings (loss).

Supplementary Financial Measures

Parkland uses a number of supplementary financial measures, including TTM Cash generated from (used in) operating activities, TTM Cash generated from (used in) operating activities per share, liquidity available and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance and Capital Expenditure Guidance, to evaluate the success of our strategic objectives. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, as other issuers may calculate these measures differently. See Section 15 of the Q3 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding supplementary financial measures used by Parkland, including the composition of such measures.

Non-Financial Measures

Parkland uses a number of non-financial measures, including Company SSVG, composite utilization and total recordable injury frequency rate, to measure the success of our strategic objectives and to set variable compensation targets for employees, where applicable. These non-financial measures are not accounting measures, do not have comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measures, and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, as other issuers may calculate these metrics differently. See Section 15 of the Q3 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details on the non-financial measures used by Parkland.

Parkland Corporation Announces the Mailing of a Letter of Transmittal in Connection with the Sunoco Arrangement

CALGARY, AB, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Parkland Corporation (”Parkland”, “we”, or “our”) (TSX: PKI) announced today that it has mailed a letter of transmittal and election form (the “Letter of Transmittal”) to each registered holder of common shares of Parkland (the “Company Shares”) in connection with the previously announced Sunoco Arrangement1. Parkland has also made a copy of the form of Letter of Transmittal available on www.parkland.ca and on its SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

The Letter of Transmittal outlines the necessary documentation and information required from each registered shareholder to obtain the consideration to which they are entitled under the Sunoco Arrangement and make an election with respect to the form of consideration they wish to receive, as further described below. Registered shareholders should refer to the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal to ensure they provide the required documentation and information to the depositary for the Sunoco Arrangement, Computershare Investor Services Inc., in order to validly deposit their Company Shares and elect the form of consideration they wish to receive.

The Letter of Transmittal is for use by registered shareholders only. Beneficial (non-registered) shareholders whose Company Shares are registered in the name of an intermediary such as a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, trustee, nominee or other intermediary should not use the Letter of Transmittal but rather should contact their intermediary for instructions and assistance in depositing their Company Shares and electing the form of consideration they wish to receive. Every intermediary has its own procedures with respect to the election and may have an earlier election deadline.

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement1, in exchange for each Company Share, Parkland shareholders can elect to receive one of the following three options:

  • C$19.80 in cash and 0.295 common units of SunocoCorp1 (”SunocoCorp Units”), which will be listed on the NYSE upon the closing of the Sunoco Arrangement (the “Combination Elected Consideration”),
  • C$44.00 in cash (the “Cash Elected Consideration”), or
  • Approximately 0.536 SunocoCorp Units (the “Unit Elected Consideration”).

The Cash Elected Consideration and Unit Elected Consideration are subject to proration, maximum amounts and adjustments in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement. If a registered shareholder does not deposit a properly completed Letter of Transmittal prior to the deadline to make an election in respect of the consideration receivable in exchange for their Company Shares pursuant to the Sunoco Arrangement (the “Election Deadline”), or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements under the Plan of Arrangement and Letter of Transmittal with respect to such election and deposit of their Company Shares, such registered shareholder will be deemed to have elected to receive the Combination Elected Consideration.

The Election Deadline has not been determined. Parkland will announce the Election Deadline prior to the closing date of the Sunoco Arrangement.

Parkland Reports 2025 Second Quarter Results

Record second quarter Adjusted EBITDA1 of $508 million

Demonstrates strength and run rate potential of Parkland’s diversified business

Advancing the Sunoco Transaction2

CALGARY, AB, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Parkland Corporation (”Parkland”, “we”, the “Company”, or “our”) (TSX: PKI), today announced its financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Parkland Corporation Logo

“I want to thank the Parkland team for safely serving our customers to deliver record second quarter results,” said Bob Espey, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our Canadian and International businesses continue to demonstrate strength and resilience, while strong supply optimization coupled with solid operations at the Burnaby refinery enabled us to capture above mid-cycle refining margins. These results reflect the run rate potential of Parkland’s integrated platform and together with Sunoco, the combined scale is well positioned to grow cash flow for years to come.”

Q2 2025 Highlights

  • Delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $508 million, as compared to $504 million in Q2 2024, primarily driven by strong operations and margins at the Burnaby Refinery and robust performance in the Canada segment. These were partially offset by lower fuel unit margins in the International segment and continued softness in the USA segment primarily due to ongoing macroeconomic pressures.
  • Net earnings of $172 million ($0.99 per share, basic), as compared to $70 million ($0.40 per share, basic) in Q2 2024, and Adjusted earnings3 of $158 million ($0.91 per share, basic3), as compared to $156 million ($0.89 per share, basic) in Q2 2024.
  • Trailing twelve months (”TTM”) Available cash flow3 of $551 million ($3.17 per share3), as compared to $823 million ($4.69 per share) in 2024, primarily reflecting a significantly lower refining margin environment during the second half of 2024 and realized losses due to the wind down of California compliance market positions in the first quarter of 2025. TTM Cash generated from (used in) operating activities4 of $1,656 million ($9.52 per share4), as compared to $1,612 million ($9.19 per share) in 2024, reflecting favourable working capital movements in the current period.
  • Leverage Ratio5 decreased to 3.4 times (3.6 times in Q4 2024) and liquidity available4 of approximately $2.2 billion.
  • Parkland’s total recordable injury frequency rate6 on a TTM basis was 1.15, compared to 1.21 in Q2 2024, reflecting the Parkland team’s continued focus on operational integrity.

Q2 2025 Segment Highlights

  • Canada delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $190 million, as compared to $168 million in Q2 2024. The increase was primarily driven by stronger fuel unit margins from continued price and supply optimization, and volume growth in our company-owned network. We delivered company same-store volume growth (”Company SSVG”)6 of 4.6 percent and Food and Company C-Store same-store sales growth (”Food and Company C-Store SSSG”)3 excluding cigarettes of 4.2 percent, reflecting stronger site execution, and increased engagement though our loyalty program.
  • International delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $168 million, as compared to $180 million in Q2 2024. Continued strength in the retail business was more than offset by lower unit margins driven by market instability from global conflicts resulting in price volatility, particularly in diesel.
  • USA delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $26 million, as compared to $47 million in Q2 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower fuel unit margins due to an ongoing competitive pricing environment and reduced rail and regional arbitrage opportunities. Lower retail volumes, consumer spending, and foot traffic in convenience stores were consistent with broader industry trends.
  • Refining delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $136 million, as compared to $119 million in Q2 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher refining margins combined with strong composite utilization6 of 94.0 percent.

On May 5, 2025, Parkland and Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) (”Sunoco”) announced that they entered into a definitive agreement whereby Sunoco will acquire all outstanding shares of Parkland in a cash and equity transaction valued at approximately U.S.$9.1 billion, including assumed debt (the “Sunoco Transaction”).

Update on the Sunoco Transaction

Parkland shareholders approved the Sunoco Transaction at the June 24, 2025 Annual and Special Meeting, with more than 93 percent of votes cast in favour. Following this strong shareholder endorsement, Parkland received a final order from the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta’s approval and the parties have obtained Competition Act (Canada) clearance.

The Sunoco Transaction continues to advance through the remaining regulatory review processes and other closing conditions, including the ongoing review under the Investment Canada Act, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The Company will terminate its Dividend Reinvestment Plan (”DRIP”) effective August 6, 2025. The DRIP has been suspended since November 2, 2022.

2025 Guidance

Following strong second quarter 2025 operating and financial results, Parkland remains on track to be within its previously stated 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance4 range of $1,800 to $2,100 million and 2025 Capital Expenditure Guidance4 range of $475 to $525 million.

Due to expected transaction-related costs and certain restrictions associated with the Sunoco Transaction, and to simplify external guidance, Parkland will no longer provide updates with respect to its 2025 Available cash flow per share, 2025 Leverage Ratio, non-core asset divestment program from 2023 to 2025 and 2025 Adjusted EBITDA for its Refining segment.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking information and statements (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). When used the words “expect”, “will”, “could”, “would”, “believe”, “continue”, “pursue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements with respect to, among other things: business strategies, objectives and initiatives; run rate potential of Parkland’s integrated platform; Parkland and Sunoco well positioned to grow cash flow for years to come; the Sunoco Transaction, including progress of regulatory approvals and other closing conditions and expectation to close in the fourth quarter of 2025; expected costs relating to the Sunoco Transaction; expected to remain on track to be within its 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance and 2025 Capital Expenditure Guidance ranges; and the termination of the DRIP and timing thereof.

These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this news release should not be unduly relied upon. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this news release. Parkland does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by securities law. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the completion of the Sunoco Transaction, including the ability to obtain the approvals required in connection thereto, the timing thereof and realizing the benefits resulting therefrom; Parkland’s ability to successfully integrate its operations with Sunoco following the Sunoco Transaction; general economic, market and business conditions; micro and macroeconomic trends and conditions, including increases in interest rates, inflation, imposition of tariffs and fluctuating commodity prices; Parkland’s ability to execute its business objectives, projects and strategies, including the completion, financing and timing thereof, realizing the benefits therefrom, meeting our targets, outlook and commitments relating thereto, and the impact of the Sunoco Transaction thereon; ability to fall within its 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance and 2025 Capital Expenditure Guidance ranges and the assumptions relating thereto; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Parkland and the assumptions and risks described in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” included in Parkland’s most recently filed Annual Information Form, and in “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” in the Q4 2024 MD&A, each as filed on SEDAR+ and available on the Parkland website at www.parkland.ca. In addition, the 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance reflects continued integration of acquired businesses and synergy capture, and progression of organic growth initiatives, and key material assumptions include: market trends in line with Parkland’s current expectations; expected performance from Parkland’s retail and commercial lines of business during the 2025 financial year that is consistent with the prior year; Burnaby Refinery composite utilization of 90 to 95% based on the Burnaby Refinery’s crude processing capacity of 55,000 bpd, and completion of planned maintenance, including deferral of the previously planned turnaround to 2026; and implementation of ongoing cost reductions across the business. The 2025 Capital Expenditure Guidance is mainly driven by increased Adjusted EBITDA and assumes no material change to underlying operations and no planned turnaround at the Burnaby Refinery. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release as expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

Specified Financial Measures

This news release contains total of segments measures, non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures (collectively, “specified financial measures”). Parkland’s management uses certain specified financial measures to analyze the operating and financial performance, leverage, and liquidity of the business. These specified financial measures do not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (”IFRS Accounting Standards”) and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The specified financial measures should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards. See Section 15 of the Q2 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding specified financial measures used by Parkland.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios

Adjusted earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio, each representing the underlying core operating performance of business activities of Parkland at a consolidated level. The most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is Net earnings (loss).

Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share represent how well Parkland’s operational business is performing, while considering depreciation and amortization, interest on leases and long-term debt, accretion and other finance costs, and income taxes. The Company uses these measures because it believes that Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share are useful for management and investors in assessing the Company’s overall performance, as they exclude certain items that are not reflective of the Company’s underlying business operations.

See Section 15 of the Q2 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for the detailed definition and composition of Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share.

Please see below for the reconciliation of Adjusted earnings (loss) to net earnings (loss) and the calculation of Adjusted earnings (loss) per share.

Other adjusting items for the three months ended June 30, 2025 include: (i) realized gains and losses on risk management and other assets and liabilities related to underlying physical sales activity in another period of $12 million loss (2024 – $1 million loss); (ii) the share of depreciation, income taxes and other adjustments for investments in joint ventures and associates of $8 million (2024 – $3 million); (iii) other income of $1 million (2024 – $3 million); (iv)adjustment to foreign exchange gains and losses related to cash pooling arrangements of $4 million (2024 – $2 million); and (v) adjustment to realized risk management gains related to interest rate swaps, as these gains do not relate to commodity sale and purchase transactions, of nil (2024 – $1 million). Other adjusting items for the six months ended June 30, 2025 include: (i) realized gains and losses on risk management and other assets and liabilities related to underlying physical sales activity in another period of $1 million gain (2024 – $12 million loss); (ii) the share of depreciation, income taxes and other adjustments for investments in joint ventures and associates of $13 million (2024 – $7 million) (iii) other income of $3 million (2024 – $5 million); (iv) adjustment to foreign exchange gains and losses related to cash pooling arrangements of $4 million (2024 – $4 million); and (v) adjustment to realized risk management gains related to interest rate swaps, as these gains do not relate to commodity sale and purchase transactions, of nil (2024 – $2 million gain). For comparative purposes, certain amounts were reclassified between realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on risk management with no changes to Adjusted EBITDA or net earnings, to conform to the presentation used in the current period.


(2)

The tax normalization adjustment was applied to net earnings (loss) adjusting items that were considered temporary differences, such as acquisition, integration and other costs, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, unrealized gains and losses on risk management and other, gains and losses on asset disposals, changes in fair value of redemption options, changes in estimates of environmental provisions, loss on inventory write-downs for which there are offsetting associated risk management derivatives with unrealized gains, impairments of non-current assets and strategic transaction costs. The tax impact was estimated using the effective tax rates applicable to jurisdictions where the related items occur.

Weighted average number of common shares is calculated in accordance with Parkland’s accounting policy contained in Note 2 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

For comparative purposes, certain amounts were reclassified between realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on risk management with no changes to Adjusted earnings (loss) to conform to the presentation used in the current period.

Available cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and Available cash flow per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio. The most directly comparable financial measure for Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share is cash generated from (used in) operating activities. Parkland uses these measures to set targets (including annual guidance and variable compensation target) and monitor its ability to generate cash flow for capital allocation, including distributions to shareholders, investment in the growth of the business, and deleveraging. See Section 15 of the Q2 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for the detailed definition and composition of Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share. See the following table for a calculation of historical Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share and a reconciliation to cash generated from (used in) operating activities.

Weighted average number of common shares is calculated in accordance with Parkland’s accounting policy contained in Note 2 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

ROIC is a non-GAAP financial ratio. The measure is calculated as a ratio of Net operating profit after tax (”NOPAT”) divided by average invested capital. NOPAT describes the profitability of Parkland’s base operations, excluding the impact of leverage and certain other items of income and expenditure that are not considered representative of Parkland’s underlying core operating performance. NOPAT is based on Adjusted EBITDA, defined in the “Measures of Segment Profit (Loss) and Total of Segments Measures” section of this news release, less depreciation and amortization expense, including pro-forma depreciation on assets classified as held for sale, and the estimated tax expense using the expected average tax rate estimated using statutory tax rates in each jurisdiction where Parkland operates. Average invested capital is the amount of capital deployed by Parkland that represents the average of opening and closing debt, including debt liabilities classified as held for sale, as well as shareholder’s equity, including equity reserves, net of cash and cash equivalents. We use this non-GAAP measure to assess Parkland’s efficiency in investing capital.

Food and Company C-Store SSSG is a non-GAAP financial ratio and refers to the period-over-period sales growth generated by retail food and convenience stores at the same Company sites. The effects of opening and closing stores, temporary closures (including closures for On the Run / Marché Express conversions), expansions of stores, renovations of stores, and stores with changes in food service models in the period are excluded to derive a comparable same-store metric. Same-store sales growth is a metric commonly used in the retail industry that provides meaningful information to investors in assessing the health and strength of Parkland’s brands and retail network, which ultimately impacts financial performance. The most directly comparable financial measure to Food and Company C-Store SSSG is food and convenience store revenue within sales and operating revenue.

Below is a reconciliation of convenience store revenue (Food and C-Store revenue) for the Canada segment with the Food and Company C-Store same store sales (”SSS”), and the calculation of the Food and Company C-Store SSSG.

(1)

Percentages are calculated based on actual amounts and are impacted by rounding.


(2)

POS values used to calculate Food and Company C-Store SSSG are not a Parkland financial measure and do not form part of Parkland’s consolidated financial statements as Parkland earns rental income from retailers in the form of a percentage rent on convenience store sales. POS values are calculated based on the information obtained from Parkland’s POS systems at retail sites, including transactional data, such as sales, costs and volumes, which are subject to internal controls over financial reporting. We also use this data to calculate rental income from retailers in the form of a percentage rent on convenience store sales, which is recorded as revenue in our consolidated financial statements.


(3)

Includes rental income from retailers in the form of a percentage rent on Food and Company C-Store sales, royalty, and franchisee fees and excludes revenues from automated teller machines, POS system licensing fees, and other.


(4)

This adjustment excludes the effects of acquisitions, opening and closing stores, temporary closures (including closures for On the Run / Marché Express conversions), expansions of stores, renovations of stores, and stores with changes in food service models, to derive a comparable same-store metric.


(5)

Excludes sales from acquisitions completed within the year as these will not impact the metric until after the completion of one year of the acquisitions when the sales or volume generated establishes the baseline for these metrics.

These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Except as otherwise indicated, these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. See Section 15 of the Q2 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding Parkland’s non-GAAP financial measures and ratios.

Capital Management Measures

Parkland’s primary capital management measure is the Leverage Ratio, which is used internally by key management personnel to monitor Parkland’s overall financial strength, capital structure flexibility, and ability to service debt and meet current and future commitments. In order to manage its financing requirements, Parkland may adjust capital spending or dividends paid to shareholders or issue new shares or new debt. The Leverage Ratio is calculated as a ratio of Leverage Debt to Leverage EBITDA and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS Accounting Standards. It is, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The detailed calculation of the Leverage Ratio is as follows:

ISS and Glass Lewis Endorse Parkland’s Value-Enhancing Arrangement with Sunoco

CALGARY, AB, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Parkland Corporation (”Parkland”, “we”, “our”, or the “Company”) (TSX: PKI) is pleased to announce that leading independent proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (”ISS”) and Glass, Lewis & Co. (”Glass Lewis”) are recommending shareholders vote FOR the proposed arrangement (the “Arrangement”) with Sunoco LP (”Sunoco”) at the upcoming Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”). Both firms highlighted the strategic and financial merits of the Arrangement as the basis for their recommendations.

ISS noted that “when viewed in proper context, there are compelling reasons to believe that this deal is the best path forward for shareholders.” Among the reasons cited were the offer premium, flexible consideration (subject to pro-ration), the absence of competing proposals, support from Parkland’s largest shareholder, and the opportunity for shareholders to participate in future upside potential of the combined entity.1

Glass Lewis emphasized the compelling fit and enhanced diversification, scale and optionality of the combined platform. Further, the firm specifically cited the advantages of the C-corp holding structure and improved capital markets access for the combined company.1

In addition to the endorsements from ISS and Glass Lewis, the Arrangement has been supported by fairness opinions provided to Parkland’s Board of Directors by each of Goldman Sachs Canada Inc. and BofA Securities, Inc., and to the independent Special Committee of the Board of Directors by BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. Parkland’s Special Committee and Board of Directors have unanimously recommended shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement.

Voting and Meeting Details
To ensure your vote is counted, shareholders must submit their votes by Friday, June 20, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. (Calgary Time). Parkland encourages shareholders to vote today to avoid missing this deadline.

In addition to voting on the proposed Arrangement with Sunoco, shareholders will be asked to consider several important matters at the Meeting, including the election of the Company’s Board of Directors, the appointment of Parkland’s auditor, an advisory, non-binding vote on Parkland’s approach to executive compensation, and to receive Parkland’s audited financial statements for 2024. These matters received overwhelming support from ISS and Glass Lewis.

The Meeting will be held on June 24, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. (Calgary Time) at the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre in Calgary, Alberta.

The Management Information Circular and related Meeting materials can be found on Parkland’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca, as well as at ParklandSunoco.ca.

Parkland Files Management Information Circular for Arrangement with Sunoco

Unlocks Immediate and Significant Value for Parkland Shareholders

Establishes a Scalable Platform for Long-Term Value Creation

CALGARY, AB, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Parkland Corporation (”Parkland”, “we”, the “Company” or “our”) (TSX: PKI) today announced the filing of its Management Information Circular (the “Circular”) and accompanying materials for the upcoming annual and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Parkland shareholders (the “Company Shareholders”) in connection with its previously announced strategic transaction involving Sunoco LP (”Sunoco”), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunoco group (”SunocoCorp”).

This transformative transaction marks a pivotal moment for Parkland, delivering immediate value to Company Shareholders while positioning the combined company for long-term growth. The transaction will be implemented by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the “Arrangement”).

The Best Path Forward for Parkland and Our Shareholders

Parkland’s board of directors (the “Parkland Board”) unanimously recommends that Company Shareholders vote FOR the special resolution approving the Arrangement (the “Arrangement Resolution”).

Key benefits of the Arrangement include:

Immediate Value and Future Upside

  • The Arrangement represents a 25% premium based on the 7-day volume-weighted average price of both the Parkland shares and Sunoco units as of May 2, 2025.
  • Company Shareholders benefit from the flexibility to choose one of three forms of consideration:
    • C$19.80 in cash and 0.295 common units of SunocoCorp (which will be a newly listed NYSE public company that holds an interest in Sunoco);
    • C$44.00 in cash1; or
    • 0.536 SunocoCorp common units1.
  • Company Shareholders who receive SunocoCorp common units will be able to participate in future upside, including potential dividend growth, resulting from the combined business. For two years post-closing, holders of SunocoCorp common units will receive dividends on their units equal to the distributions made to holders of Sunoco common units.

________________________________


1 Subject to the proration, maximum amounts, and adjustments in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

The Strategic Rationale for the Arrangement

  • The combined company will be one of the largest independent fuel distributors in the Americas, creating greater scale and stability, and is expected to grow returns, improve margins and increase distributable cash flow per unit.
  • The transaction leverages the complementary strengths of both companies to create a more diversified portfolio spanning Canada, the U.S., and the Caribbean, reducing single-industry exposure while improving earnings resiliency and minimizing volatility.
  • The combined company is expected to achieve US$250 million in annual run-rate synergies by the third year, strengthening financial performance and boosting shareholder returns.

Sunoco’s Commitment to Responsible Stewardship and Growth in the Markets Parkland Serves

  • Sunoco will maintain a Canadian headquarters in Calgary and significant employment levels in Canada.
  • Sunoco is committed to ongoing investment in Canadian operations, including the Burnaby Refinery and Parkland’s transportation energy infrastructure expansion plans.
  • The combined company’s expanded free cash flow will provide additional resources for reinvestment in Canada, the U.S., and the Caribbean in support of both existing and new opportunities.

These commitments affirm a vote of confidence in Canada, with Sunoco returning to a country where it has a long history of investment.

Additional Factors

The Arrangement is the result of arm’s length negotiations between Parkland and Sunoco with the Company Special Committee (the “Special Committee”) actively overseeing the process and guiding management and advisors. Following this thorough process, the Special Committee and the Parkland Board concluded that the consideration payable to Company Shareholders reflects Sunoco’s highest price.

The Special Committee and the Parkland Board evaluated the Arrangement in light of Parkland’s financial condition, operational performance, strategic alternatives, and market conditions. After reviewing fairness opinions provided to the Parkland Board by Goldman Sachs Canada Inc. and BofA Securities Inc., as well as a fairness opinion provided to the Special Committee by BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., all of which deemed the consideration fair from a financial perspective, the Special Committee unanimously determined the Arrangement is in the best interests of Parkland and its shareholders.

Based on this determination, the Special Committee recommended, and the Board unanimously endorsed, the Arrangement. The transaction is not subject to financing conditions, and Sunoco has demonstrated a strong commitment to completing it efficiently. The reasons for the Parkland Board’s unanimous recommendation are more fully described under the headings “The Arrangement – Recommendation of the Parkland Board” and “The Arrangement – Reasons for the Recommendations” in the Circular.

The Arrangement is subject to court approval, Company Shareholder approval, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Other Business at the Meeting

In addition to considering and voting on the Arrangement Resolution, Company Shareholders will also deal with several important matters at the Meeting (the “Annual Matters”), the first three of which will be subject to a shareholder vote. These include:

  1. Election of Directors: Company Shareholders will be asked to elect the slate of current Parkland Board members (other than Lisa Colnett who is not standing for re-election): Felipe Bayon, Nora Duke, Robert Espey, Sue Gove, Timothy Hogarth, Richard Hookway, Michael Jennings, Angela John, James Neate, and Mariame McIntosh Robinson to the Parkland Board to complete the Arrangement. The Company did not receive any nominations under its advance notice bylaw.
  2. Appointment of Auditor: Company Shareholders will vote on the reappointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the auditor of Parkland for the upcoming fiscal year and authorize the Parkland Board to fix their remuneration.
  3. Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation: Company Shareholders will have the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote on Parkland’s approach to executive compensation.
  4. Review of Financial Statements: Company Shareholders will receive the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, along with the accompanying auditor’s report.

The Parkland Board recommends that Company Shareholders vote FOR each of the Annual Matters to ensure strong governance and operational excellence during this transitional period.

Parkland Reports 2025 First Quarter Results

CALGARY, AB, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Parkland Corporation (”Parkland”, “we”, the “Company”, or “our”) (TSX: PKI), today announced its full financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Parkland Corporation logo

“Our first quarter of 2025 saw a recovery from 2024 as the refinery offset a slow start to the year and a one-time $53 million impact due to a decision to exit the California compliance market,” said Bob Espey, President and Chief Executive Officer. “It is still early in the year, and as we assess performance across our business, we are encouraged by several positive developments. Our International segment continues to deliver strong growth, refining margins have been stronger than anticipated, and we expect a robust driving season in Canada. While the macroeconomic and regulatory environment remains volatile, these tailwinds highlight the resilience of our portfolio and reinforce my confidence in the foundation we have built at Parkland.”

Q1 2025 Highlights

  • Achieved Adjusted EBITDA1 of $375 million, an increase of $48 million as compared to Q1 2024, primarily driven by the 11-week unplanned shutdown of the Burnaby Refinery in the comparative period and strong performance in the International business. These were partially offset by the commercial decision to wind down our California compliance market positions, resulting in realized losses of $53 million within the Canadian segment2, and weaker performance in the USA.
  • Net earnings of $64 million ($0.37 per share, basic), as compared to net loss of $5 million ($0.03 per share, basic) in Q1 2024, and Adjusted earnings3 of $65 million ($0.37 per share, basic3), as compared to $43 million ($0.25 per share, basic) in Q1 2024.
  • Trailing twelve months (”TTM”) Available cash flow3 of $586 million ($3.37 per share3), as compared to $762 million ($4.34 per share) as of March 31, 2024. TTM Cash generated from (used in) operating activities4 of $1,604 million ($9.21 per share4), as compared to $1,683 million ($9.56 per share) as of March 31, 2024. These decreases were largely due to a significantly lower refining margin environment during the second half of 2024, realized losses due to the wind down of our California compliance market positions in the first quarter of 2025, and higher acquisition, integration and other costs during the last nine months of 2024 primarily associated with restructuring activities and implementing enterprise-wide systems.
  • Return on invested capital3 (”ROIC”) was 7.6 percent for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to 8.9 percent, for the same period in 2024.
  • Maintained Leverage Ratio5 of 3.6 times (3.6 times in Q4 2024) and liquidity available4 of $2 billion.

Q1 2025 Segment Highlights

  • Canada delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $110 million, as compared to $186 million in Q1 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the commercial decision to wind down our California compliance market positions, resulting in realized losses of $53 million, and the sale of the commercial propane business in Q4 2024.
  • International delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $181 million, as compared to $147 million in Q1 2024. The increase was driven by higher volume and margins in the commercial and wholesale businesses from strategic and recurring customers and strength in our South American region.
  • USA delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $16 million, as compared to $31 million in Q1 2024. The decrease was driven by macroeconomic pressures continuing to impact fuel and convenience demand in line with broader industry trends, as well as regulatory developments that also impacted Parkland’s ability to capture supply optimization opportunities associated with moving refined product between Canada and the U.S.
  • Refining delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $79 million, as compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $33 million in Q1 2024. The increase relative to Q1 2024 was primarily driven by an 11-week unplanned shutdown in the comparative period. Composite utilization6 at the Burnaby Refinery was approximately 76 percent in Q1 2025, as compared to approximately 20 percent in Q1 2024. The Burnaby Refinery successfully completed a three-week planned maintenance in the quarter and performed safely and reliably which allowed us to benefit from favourable market conditions.
  • Parkland’s total recordable injury frequency rate6 on a TTM basis was 1.13, compared to 1.07 at Q1 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking information and statements (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). When used the words “expect”, “will”, “could”, “would”, “believe”, “continue”, “pursue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements with respect to, among other things: business strategies, objectives and initiatives; ; International’s continued strong growth; an expected robust driving season in Canada; portfolio resilience; and confidence in Parkland’s foundation.

These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this news release should not be unduly relied upon. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this news release. Parkland does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by securities law. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the strategic review that Parkland initiated on March 5, 2025 (the “Strategic Review”), the process and the timing thereof, whether the strategic review will result in Parkland undertaking a transaction, and if so, the terms and timing relating thereto, the completion thereof and realizing benefits resulting therefrom; general economic, market and business conditions; micro and macroeconomic trends and conditions, including increases in interest rates, inflation, imposition of tariffs and fluctuating commodity prices; Parkland’s ability to execute its business objectives, projects and strategies, including the completion, financing and timing thereof, realizing the benefits therefrom, meeting our targets, outlook and commitments relating thereto, and the impact of the Strategic Review thereon; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Parkland and the assumptions and risks described in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” included in Parkland’s most recently filed Annual Information Form, and in “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” in the Q4 2024 MD&A, each as filed on SEDAR+ and available on the Parkland website at www.parkland.ca. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release as expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

Specified Financial Measures

This news release contains total of segments measures, non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures (collectively, “specified financial measures”). Parkland’s management uses certain specified financial measures to analyze the operating and financial performance, leverage, and liquidity of the business. These specified financial measures do not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (”IFRS Accounting Standards”) and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The specified financial measures should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards. See Section 15 of the Q1 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding specified financial measures used by Parkland.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios

Adjusted earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio, each representing the underlying core operating performance of business activities of Parkland at a consolidated level. The most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is Net earnings (loss).

Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share represent how well Parkland’s operational business is performing, while considering depreciation and amortization, interest on leases and long-term debt, accretion and other finance costs, and income taxes. The Company uses these measures because it believes that Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share are useful for management and investors in assessing the Company’s overall performance, as they exclude certain items that are not reflective of the Company’s underlying business operations.

See Section 15 of the Q1 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for the detailed definition and composition of Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share.

Please see below for the reconciliation of Adjusted earnings (loss) to net earnings (loss) and the calculation of Adjusted earnings (loss) per share.

Other adjusting items for the three months ended March 31, 2025 include: (i) realized gains and losses on risk management and other assets and liabilities related to underlying physical sales activity in another period of $13 million gain (2024 – $11 million loss); (ii) the share of depreciation, income taxes and other adjustments for investments in joint ventures and associates of $5 million (2024 – $4 million); (iii) other income of $2 million (2024 – $2 million); (iv) adjustment to foreign exchange losses related to cash pooling arrangements of nil (2024 – $2 million loss); and (v) adjustment to realized risk management gains related to interest rate swaps, as these gains do not relate to commodity sale and purchase transactions, of nil (2024 – $1 million).


(2)

The tax normalization adjustment was applied to net earnings (loss) adjusting items that were considered temporary differences, such as acquisition, integration and other costs, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, unrealized gains and losses on risk management and other, gains and losses on asset disposals, changes in fair value of redemption options, changes in estimates of environmental provisions, loss on inventory write-downs for which there are offsetting associated risk management derivatives with unrealized gains, and impairments of non-current assets. The tax impact was estimated using the effective tax rates applicable to jurisdictions where the related items occur.


(3)

Weighted average number of common shares are calculated in accordance with Parkland’s accounting policy contained in Note 2 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.


(4)

For comparative purposes, certain amounts were reclassified between realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on risk management with no changes to Adjusted earnings (loss) to conform to the presentation used in the current period.

Available cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and Available cash flow per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio. The most directly comparable financial measure for Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share is cash generated from (used in) operating activities. Parkland uses these measures to set targets (including annual guidance and variable compensation target) and monitor its ability to generate cash flow for capital allocation, including distributions to shareholders, investment in the growth of the business, and deleveraging. See Section 15 of the Q1 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for the detailed definition and composition of Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share. See the following table for a calculation of historical Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share and a reconciliation to cash generated from (used in) operating activities.

(2)

Weighted average number of common shares is calculated in accordance with Parkland’s accounting policy contained in Note 2 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

ROIC is a non-GAAP financial ratio. The measure is calculated as a ratio of Net operating profit after tax (”NOPAT”) divided by average invested capital. NOPAT describes the profitability of Parkland’s base operations, excluding the impact of leverage and certain other items of income and expenditure that are not considered representative of Parkland’s underlying core operating performance. NOPAT is based on Adjusted EBITDA, defined in the “Measures of Segment Profit (Loss) and Total of Segments Measures” section of this news release, less depreciation and amortization expense, including pro-forma depreciation on assets classified as held for sale, and the estimated tax expense using the expected average tax rate estimated using statutory tax rates in each jurisdiction where Parkland operates. Average invested capital is the amount of capital deployed by Parkland that represents the average of opening and closing debt, including debt liabilities classified as held for sale, as well as shareholder’s equity, including equity reserves, net of cash and cash equivalents. We use this non-GAAP measure to assess Parkland’s efficiency in investing capital.

ISS Supports Parkland’s Experienced Directors; Raises Concerns with Simpson’s Control Effort

ISS has determined that Simpson does not meet the control threshold
ISS questions Simpson’s proposed strategy and CEO candidate

Parkland’s Executive Chairman, Michael Jennings,

releases message

to all shareholders

CALGARY, AB, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Parkland Corporation (”Parkland” or “the Company”) (TSX: PKI) today commented on the report1 issued by Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (”ISS”), a leading independent proxy advisory firm, regarding the election of directors at Parkland’s Annual General Meeting scheduled for May 6, 2025. In addition, Parkland’s Executive Chairman, Michael Jennings released a short video to all shareholders. It can be viewed here.

ISS affirmed that Simpson Oil Limited (”Simpson”) has failed to meet the high bar required to justify a control slate, stating explicitly:

“… the bar for a control slate is high, and the dissident has not cleared it outright.”

ISS also highlighted significant deficiencies in Simpson’s proposed business strategy, noting:

“The dissident’s plan is light on details regarding capital allocation and which businesses would be potential divestitures, where specific cost savings would be identified and what a potential timeline for realization would be.”

“…the lack of detail provided makes it difficult for shareholders to objectively assess the dissident’s execution of its plan, if it is successful in this campaign, and as such does not warrant full control of the board.”

Further, ISS has recommended withholding support from Simpson’s nominee Mark Davis, who is also their proposed interim CEO, illustrating concerns over Simpson’s lack of depth and clarity in leadership transition planning.

In contrast, ISS endorsed Parkland’s recent strategic initiatives, including the ongoing strategic review and the comprehensive CEO search, emphasizing that Parkland’s Board is appropriately structured to oversee these processes and deliver value to all shareholders.

The choice for shareholders is clear: a vote for Parkland’s nominees is a vote for an experienced, diverse, and independent Board stewarding a credible and thorough strategic review and acting in the best interest of all shareholders.

Reminder: Continue Voting ONLY the BLUE Proxy ‘FOR’ the Parkland Nominees

Regardless of the recommendations issued by the proxy advisors, Parkland urges all shareholders to continue ONLY voting ‘FOR’ Parkland’s nominees on the BLUE Proxy ensuring the Company continues to be led by directors committed to rigorous governance and maximizing value for all shareholders. The deadline for voting is May 2, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. (Mountain Time).

Parkland Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2024 Results; Initiates Review of Strategic Alternatives

Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA1 of $428 million and full year Adjusted EBITDA of $1,690 million

Fourth quarter and full year net earnings per share of $0.73 and $2.68, respectively

Annualized dividend increasing by $0.04 per share (3 percent) to $1.44 per share

CALGARY, AB, March 5, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Parkland Corporation (”Parkland”, “we”, the “Company”, or “our”) (TSX:PKI), today announced its financial and operating results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024. The Company further announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has initiated a review of strategic alternatives (the “Strategic Review”) to identify opportunities to maximize value for all shareholders.

The Strategic Review will be led by a Special Committee of the Board which is comprised solely of independent directors (the “Special Committee”). During this process, the Company will analyze and evaluate its business strategy and optimization opportunities, while also considering value maximization alternatives which are in the best interests of all shareholders. This may include, but is not limited to, asset divestments, acquisitions, transformative business combinations and a sale of the Company. Parkland has engaged Goldman Sachs Canada Inc. and BofA Securities as its financial advisors for the Strategic Review.

“Parkland’s Board remains committed to acting in the best interests of all shareholders,” said Michael Jennings, Chair of Parkland’s Board of Directors. “While we are confident in the tremendous value creating potential of our business, strategic plan, and management’s ability to execute, the current share price does not fully reflect the intrinsic value of the Company. As a result, our Board believes the Strategic Review is a necessary step to explore opportunities to maximize value creation for all shareholders. We are openly inviting Simpson Oil to rejoin the Company’s Board and participate on the Special Committee.”

Parkland cautions that there are no guarantees that the strategic review process will result in a transaction or if a transaction is undertaken, as to its terms or timing. The Company will continue to actively engage with its shareholders throughout the process and provide periodic updates on its progress.

Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2024 Results

“As the Company initiates a Strategic Review, I want to thank the Parkland team for their dedication in 2024 and their continued focus on serving our customers. The team made great progress executing our priorities and building a platform for growth during the year,” said Bob Espey, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In 2024, our combined retail and commercial businesses demonstrated resilience in a challenging environment. While the Refinery and USA segments fell short of our expectations, partly due to unfavourable external market factors, our continued focus on operational excellence and serving our customers, combined with higher expected composite utilization of the Burnaby Refinery, gives me confidence in our 2025 Guidance.”

Total of segments measure. See “Measures of Segment Profit (Loss) and Total of Segments Measures” section of this news release.

Q4 2024 Highlights

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $428 million, as compared to $463 million in Q4 2023. Resilient underlying performance in our combined retail and commercial lines of business was more than offset by a lower refining margin environment.
  • Net loss of $29 million ($0.17 per share, basic), as compared to net earnings of $86 million ($0.49 per share, basic) in Q4 2023, and Adjusted earnings2 of $100 million ($0.58 per share, basic2), as compared to $151 million ($0.86 per share, basic) in Q4 2023.
  • Canada delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $190 million, as compared to $190 million in Q4 2023. Stronger fuel unit margins from continued price and supply optimization and lower operating costs were offset by lower commercial volumes due to unseasonably warm weather and the divestment of the commercial propane business.
  • International delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $171 million, as compared to $157 million in Q4 2023. Strong performance in the retail business, particularly in Guyana and Suriname, and the marine business were partially offset by the impact of lower wholesale volumes.
  • USA delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $32 million, as compared to $39 million in Q4 2023. The timing of certain expenses and a challenging volume environment were partially offset by stronger fuel unit margins.
  • Refining delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $60 million, as compared to $106 million in Q4 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by lower refining margins. Composite utilization3 at the Burnaby Refinery was approximately 89 percent in Q4 2024, as compared to approximately 90 percent in Q4 2023.

Full Year 2024 Highlights

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $1,690 million, as compared to $1,913 million in 2023. Resilient performance in the combined retail and commercial lines of business was more than offset by a lower refining margin environment in the second half of 2024 and the unplanned shutdown of the Burnaby Refinery in the first quarter of 2024.
  • Net earnings of $127 million ($0.73 per share, basic), as compared to $471 million ($2.68 per share, basic) in 2023, and Adjusted earnings of $405 million ($2.32 per share, basic) as compared to $626 million in 2023 ($3.56 per share, basic).
  • Available cash flow2 of $556 million ($3.19 per share2), as compared to $812 million ($4.61 per share) in 2023. Cash generated from (used in) operating activities of $1,535 million ($8.80 per share4) in 2024 as compared to $1,780 million ($10.13 per share) in 2023. These decreases were largely due to lower refinery segment results, restructuring activities and the ongoing implementation of enterprise-wide systems designed to improve operational efficiency, provide long-term cost savings and support future growth.
  • Year-end 2024 Liquidity available4 increased to $2,045 million from $1,339 million at year-end 2023, reflecting the senior unsecured note issuance used to repay a portion of the outstanding drawings under the Company’s credit facilities.
  • Year-end 2024 Leverage Ratio5 was 3.6 times, as compared to 2.8 times at year-end 2023. The increase reflects lower 2024 Adjusted EBITDA and unfavourable translation of USD-denominated debt balances.
  • Return on invested capital2 (”ROIC”) was 7.4 percent in 2024, as compared to 9.8 percent in 2023.
  • Parkland delivered a strong safety performance in 2024, with a total recordable injury frequency rate3 of 1.01, approximately a 6 percent improvement from prior year.
  • Canada Company same-store volume growth (”Company SSVG”)3 was 1.2 percent, demonstrating strength in our company-owned network and benefits from our loyalty program.
  • USA results fell below expectations as unfavourable market conditions negatively impacted industry volumes and margins, overshadowing Parkland’s integration and optimization efforts.

Enhancing Shareholder Returns

The Company’s framework balances the need to maintain financial strength and flexibility, fund Parkland’s organic growth capital program and return capital to shareholders.

Parkland’s quarterly dividend will increase approximately 3 percent, from $0.35 to $0.36 per common share, effective with the quarterly dividend payable on April 15, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 21, 2025.

In 2024, Parkland purchased and cancelled approximately 2.9 million common shares for $125 million under its normal course issuer bid program.

In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements with respect to, among other things: the Strategic Review, the process and details relating thereto, including with respect to Parkland considering value maximization alternatives and evaluating its existing business strategies and optimization opportunities, and the expectation resulting therefrom to maximize value for all shareholders; the Board’s commitment to Parkland shareholders and the Board’s beliefs with respect to Parkland’s business, strategic plan, management and current share price as well as the Strategic Review and expectations relating thereto; business strategies, objectives and initiatives; continued focus on operational excellence and serving Parkland’s customers; expectations for composition utilization at the Burnaby Refinery; confidence in Parkland’s 2025 Guidance; Parkland’s enterprise-wide systems, the implementation thereof and expected benefits therefrom; Parkland’s disciplined capital allocation framework and the impact thereof on shareholder returns, maintaining financial strength and flexibility and funding Parkland’s organic growth capital program; and Parkland’s expectations regarding future dividend amounts and the timing and frequency of payments.

These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this news release should not be unduly relied upon. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this news release. Parkland does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by securities law. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the Strategic Review process and the timing thereof, whether the Strategic Review will result in Parkland undertaking a transaction, and if so, the terms and timing relating thereto, the completion thereof and realizing benefits resulting therefrom; general economic, market and business conditions; micro and macroeconomic trends and conditions, including increases in interest rates, inflation, imposition of tariffs and fluctuating commodity prices; Parkland’s ability to execute its business objectives, projects and strategies, including the completion, financing and timing thereof, realizing the benefits therefrom and meeting our targets and commitments relating thereto; the operations of the Burnaby Refinery, including continuing to operate as expected and the ability of suppliers to meet commitments; Parkland’s ability to meet its 2025 Guidance and the assumptions relating thereto; Parkland’s ability to execute on its disciplined capital allocation framework; Parkland’s ability to pay future dividends; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Parkland and the assumptions and risks described in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” included in Parkland’s most recently filed Annual Information Form, and in “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” in the Q4 2024 MD&A, each as filed on SEDAR+ and available on the Parkland website at www.parkland.ca. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release as expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

Specified Financial Measures

This news release contains total of segments measures, non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures (collectively, “specified financial measures”). Parkland’s management uses certain specified financial measures to analyze the operating and financial performance, leverage, and liquidity of the business. These specified financial measures do not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (”IFRS Accounting Standards”) and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The specified financial measures should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards. See Section 16 of the Q4 2024 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding specified financial measures used by Parkland.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios

Adjusted earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio, each representing the underlying core operating performance of business activities of Parkland at a consolidated level. The most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is Net earnings (loss).

Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share represent how well Parkland’s operational business is performing, while considering depreciation and amortization, interest on leases and long-term debt, accretion and other finance costs, and income taxes. The Company uses these measures because it believes that Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share are useful for management and investors in assessing the Company’s overall performance, as they exclude certain items that are not reflective of the Company’s underlying business operations.

See Section 16 of the Q4 2024 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for the detailed definition and composition of Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share.

Please see below for the reconciliation of Adjusted earnings (loss) to net earnings (loss) and the calculation of Adjusted earnings (loss) per share.

Other adjusting items for the three months ended December 31, 2024 include: (i) the share of depreciation, income taxes and other adjustments for investments in joint ventures and associates of $18 million (2023 – $9 million); (ii) the impact of hyperinflation accounting of $4 million (2023 – $2 million); (iii) other income of $1 million (2023 – $2 million); (iv) realized gains and losses on risk management and other assets and liabilities related to underlying physical sales activity in another period of $1 million gain (2023 – $2 million); (v) adjustment to foreign exchange losses related to cash pooling arrangements of $1 million gain (2023 – $1 million); and (vi) adjustment to realized risk management gains related to interest rate swaps, as these gains do not relate to commodity sale and purchase transactions, of $1 million (2023 – nil). Other adjusting items for the year ended December 31, 2024 include: (i) the share of depreciation, income taxes and other adjustments for investments in joint ventures and associates of $29 million (2023 – $20 million); (ii) realized gains and losses on risk management and other assets and liabilities related to underlying physical sales activity in another period of $11 million loss (2023 – $6 million gain); (iii) other income of $9 million (2023 – $23 million); (iv) the impact of hyperinflation accounting of $4 million (2023 – $2 million); (v) adjustment to foreign exchange losses related to cash pooling arrangements of $3 million (2023 – nil); (vi) adjustment to realized risk management gains related to interest rate swaps, as these gains do not relate to commodity sale and purchase transactions, of $3 million (2023 – nil); and (vii) the effect of market-based performance conditions for equity-settled share-based award settlements of nil (2023 – $13 million).


(2)

The tax normalization adjustment was applied to net earnings (loss) adjusting items that were considered temporary differences, such as acquisition, integration and other costs, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, unrealized gains and losses on risk management and other, gains and losses on asset disposals, changes in fair value of redemption options, changes in estimates of environmental provisions, loss on inventory write-downs for which there are offsetting associated risk management derivatives with unrealized gains, impairments of non-current assets. The tax impact was estimated using the effective tax rates applicable to jurisdictions where the related items occur.

Weighted average number of common shares are calculated in accordance with Parkland’s accounting policy contained in Note 2 of the 2024 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Available cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and Available cash flow per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio. The most directly comparable financial measure for Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share is cash generated from (used in) operating activities. Parkland uses these measures to monitor its ability to generate cash flow for capital allocation, including distributions to shareholders, investment in the growth of the business, and deleveraging. See Section 16 of the Q4 2024 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for the detailed definition and composition of Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share.

Weighted average number of common shares is calculated in accordance with Parkland’s accounting policy contained in Note 2 of the 2024 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

ROIC is a non-GAAP financial ratio. The measure is calculated as a ratio of Net operating profit after tax (”NOPAT”) divided by average invested capital. NOPAT describes the profitability of Parkland’s base operations, excluding the impact of leverage and certain other items of income and expenditure that are not considered representative of Parkland’s underlying core operating performance. NOPAT is based on Adjusted EBITDA, defined in the “Measures of Segment Profit (Loss) and Total of Segments Measures” section of this news release, less depreciation and amortization expense, including pro-forma depreciation on assets classified as held for sale, and the estimated tax expense using the expected average tax rate estimated using statutory tax rates in each jurisdiction where Parkland operates. Average invested capital is the amount of capital deployed by Parkland that represents the average of opening and closing debt and shareholder’s equity, including equity reserves, net of cash and cash equivalents. We use this non-GAAP measure to assess Parkland’s efficiency in investing capital.

These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Except as otherwise indicated, these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. See Section 16 of the Q4 2024 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding Parkland’s non-GAAP financial measures and ratios.

Capital Management Measures

Parkland’s primary capital management measure is the Leverage Ratio, which is used internally by key management personnel to monitor Parkland’s overall financial strength, capital structure flexibility, and ability to service debt and meet current and future commitments. In order to manage its financing requirements, Parkland may adjust capital spending or dividends paid to shareholders, or issue new shares or new debt. The Leverage Ratio is calculated as a ratio of Leverage Debt to Leverage EBITDA and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS Accounting Standards. It is, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The detailed calculation of the Leverage Ratio is as follows:

Parkland Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

CALGARY, AB, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Parkland Corporation (”Parkland”, “we”, “our”, or the “Company”) (TSX: PKI) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (”TSX”) has accepted the Company’s notice of intention to implement a normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”).

Under the NCIB, the Company may purchase for cancellation a maximum of 13,814,717 common shares of the Company (the “Shares”), representing 10% of the public float (as defined by the TSX) as of November 18, 2024. On November 18, 2024, Parkland had 173,781,684 Shares issued and outstanding. The NCIB will commence on December 1, 2024 and will terminate upon the earliest of (i) November 30, 2025, (ii) the Company purchasing the maximum of 13,814,717 Shares, and (iii) the Company terminating the NCIB.

The NCIB is intended to augment Parkland’s ongoing return of capital to shareholders through dividends. Parkland believes that the market price of the Shares may not, from time to time, accurately reflect their underlying value. Accordingly, purchasing the Shares for cancellation under the NCIB may represent an attractive investment opportunity to enhance shareholder value, in line with Parkland’s capital allocation framework.

Purchases under the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX or alternative trading systems in Canada at the prevailing market price at the time of purchase. In accordance with the rules of the TSX, any daily repurchases (other than pursuant to a block purchase exception as defined by the TSX) under the NCIB will be limited to a maximum of 136,675 Shares, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume on the TSX of 546,700 for the six months ended October 31, 2024.

In connection with the NCIB, the Company has entered into an automatic share purchase plan (the “ASPP”) with its designated broker to allow for the purchase of Shares during certain pre-determined blackout periods and other periods during which the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase Shares. Purchases under the ASPP will be determined by the designated broker in its sole discretion based on purchasing parameters set by Parkland in accordance with the rules of the TSX, applicable securities laws and the terms of the ASPP. Outside of blackout periods, Shares may be purchased under the NCIB based on management’s discretion, in compliance with the rules of the TSX and applicable securities laws. All purchases made under the ASPP will be included in computing the number of Shares purchased under the NCIB. The ASPP has been pre-cleared by the TSX and will become effective December 1, 2024, concurrently with the commencement of the NCIB.

The NCIB continues the Company’s existing NCIB (the “Existing NCIB”). Pursuant to the Existing NCIB, the Company has approval from the TSX to repurchase up to 14,056,984 Shares from December 1, 2023 to November 30, 2024. Under the Existing NCIB, the Company has purchased 3,107,038 Shares on the open market at a weighted average purchase price of $42.6734 per Share.

There can be no assurance as to the precise number of Shares that will be purchased under the NCIB, if any. Parkland may discontinue purchases under the NCIB at any time, subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Parkland Reports 2024 Third Quarter Results

Operational performance highlights the strength of our business, brands and customer proposition

Financial results primarily impacted by lower global refining margins

Demonstrating progress toward 2028 ambitions

CALGARY, AB, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Parkland Corporation (”Parkland”, “we”, the “Company”, or “our”) (TSX: PKI), today announced its financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

“The Parkland Team remains focused on executing our strategic plan and achieving strong operational metrics across the business relative to industry. Although our third quarter 2024 financial results fell short of expectations, this was primarily driven by a challenging refining margin environment,” said Bob Espey, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our business continues to show strength through increased market share in a soft economic environment. Adjusted EBITDA from our Retail and Commercial lines of business grew by two percent over the last twelve months, demonstrating progress on the organic growth initiatives required to deliver on our 2028 ambitions.”

Q3 2024 Highlights

  • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $431 million, a decrease of 26 percent as compared to Q3 2023, largely due to lower refinery margins in the third quarter of 2024, despite strong operational execution.
  • Net earnings of $91 million ($0.52 per share, basic), a decrease of 60 percent as compared to Q3 2023, and Adjusted earnings2 of $106 million ($0.61 per share, basic2), a decrease of 54 percent from Q3 2023, largely due to lower refinery margins in the third quarter of 2024.
  • Trailing-twelve-month (”TTM”) Available cash flow2 of $627 million ($3.58 per share2), a decrease of 16 percent from the same period in 2023, and TTM Cash generated from (used in) operating activities3 of $1,490 million ($8.51 per share3), a decrease of 25 percent from the same period in 2023, largely due to the unplanned shutdown of the Burnaby Refinery in the first quarter of 2024 and lower refining margins in the third quarter of 2024.
  • TTM Adjusted EBITDA from our Retail and Commercial lines of business4 of $1,568 million, an increase of two percent from the same period in 2023, reflecting organic growth, synergy capture and cost reductions.
  • Purchased and cancelled approximately 382,000 Parkland common shares for $14 million, in line with our disciplined capital allocation.
  • Liquidity available3 increased to $2 billion ($1,246 million in Q2 2024), reflecting the senior unsecured note issuance used to repay drawings under the Company’s credit facilities during the quarter, and Leverage Ratio5 increased to 3.4 times (3.1 times in Q2 2024), reflecting debt repayments being more than offset by lower TTM Adjusted EBITDA.
  • Return on invested capital2 (”ROIC”) decreased to 7.8 percent from 9.5 percent for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023.
  • Announced intention to divest our Florida-based retail and commercial businesses, reflecting our commitment to disciplined capital allocation and redirecting capital towards our highest return opportunities that maximize shareholder value.

5

Capital management measure. See “Capital Management Measures” section of this news release.

Q3 2024 Segment Highlights

  • Canada delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $200 million, in line with Q3 2023 ($206 million). Performance was underpinned by strong fuel unit margins from continued price and supply optimization despite lower consumer demand. Company same-store volume growth (”Company SSVG”)6 was 1.4 percent, compared to 4.2 percent in Q3 2023. Food and Company C-Store SSSG (excluding cigarettes)2 was (1.1) percent, compared to 3.6 percent, in Q3 2023. These decreases were primarily driven by economic conditions that have reduced discretionary spending for consumers. Canada delivered Food and Company C-store revenue of $82 million, consistent with Q3 2023 ($81 million).
  • International delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $152 million, down 11 percent from Q3 2023 ($170 million). The decrease was primarily driven by lower wholesale volumes, partially offset by continued growth in our retail, commercial and aviation base businesses.
  • USA delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $54 million, in line with Q3 2023 ($52 million). Performance was underpinned by improved supply optimization despite lower consumer demand.
  • Refining delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $49 million, compared to $188 million in Q3 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by lower refining margins. Strong composite utilization6 at the Burnaby Refinery of 102 percent, compared to 103 percent in Q3 2023.
  • Parkland’s total recordable injury frequency rate6 on a TTM basis was 1.04, compared to 0.95 at September 30, 2023.

Non-financial measure. See “Non-Financial Measures” section of this news release.

2024 Guidance

As a result of the unplanned shutdown at the Burnaby Refinery in the first quarter of 2024, and unfavorable market conditions experienced for the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to lower refining margins in the third quarter of 2024, which are expected to persist for the remainder of the year, Parkland has further revised its 2024 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance3 to $1,700 million – $1,750 million(the “Updated 2024 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Range”). This represents a $200 million – $250 million decrease in guidance range from our previous guidance range of $1,900 million – $2,000 million.

Furthermore, Parkland has revised its 2024 Available cash flow per share Guidance and 2024 ROIC Guidance, as a result of the factors outlined above, as follows:

  • 2024 ROIC Guidance2 is revised to approximately 8 percent, from more than 11 percent (the “Revised 2024 ROIC Guidance”);
  • 2024 Available cash flow per share Guidance2 is revised to approximately $3.75 per share, from $5.00 per share (the “Revised 2024 Available cash flow per share Guidance”).

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking information and statements (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). When used in this news release, the words “expect”, “will”, “could”, “would”, “believe”, “continue”, “pursue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements with respect to, among other things: business strategies, objectives and initiatives; Parkland’s focus on executing its strategic plan and achieving strong operational performance metrics; Parkland’s organic growth initiatives and the progress and 2028 ambitions relating thereto; disciplined capital allocation; Parkland’s plan to divest its Florida-based retail and commercial business and the completion thereof; Parkland’s commitment to disciplined capital allocation and redirecting capital to highest return opportunities and expectations relating thereto; lower refining margins expected for the rest of the year; and Parkland’s Updated 2024 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance, Revised 2024 ROIC Guidance and Revised 2024 Available cash flow per share Guidance.

These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this news release should not be unduly relied upon. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this news release. Parkland does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by securities law. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Parkland, including, but not limited to: general economic, market and business conditions; Parkland’s ability to execute its business strategies, objectives, and initiatives, including the completion, financing and timing thereof, realizing the benefits therefrom, and meeting our targets and commitments relating thereto; Parkland’s ability to identify buyers and complete divestments on terms reasonable to Parkland and in a timely manner; and the assumptions and risks described under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” in Parkland’s most recent Annual Information Form, and under “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” in the Q3 2024 MD&A, which are incorporated by reference herein, each as filed on SEDAR+ and available on the Parkland website at www.parkland.ca. In addition, the Revised 2024 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance reflects continued integration of acquired businesses, synergy capture, and organic growth initiatives, and the key material assumptions include: an increase in Retail and Commercial Fuel and petroleum product adjusted gross margin of approximately 1 percent and Food, convenience and other adjusted gross margin of approximately 5 percent as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023; the realization of $100 million of run-rate marketing, general and administrative expense cost efficiencies by the end of 2024; Refining adjusted gross margin of approximately $30 to $31 per barrel and average Burnaby Refinery composite utilization of 75 percent to 80 percent (factoring in the unplanned outage) based on the Burnaby Refinery’s crude processing capacity of 55,000 barrels per day; enhancements to operations, utilization and optimization of supply at the Burnaby Refinery during 2024; and implementation of ongoing cost reductions across the business. The Revised 2024 Available cash flow per share Guidance and the Revised 2024 ROIC Guidance reflect the lower Revised 2024 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance. In addition, the Revised 2024 Available cash flow per share Guidance assumes a lower number of outstanding common shares compared to 2023 as a result of share repurchases completed during 2024, and the revised 2024 ROIC Guidance assumes invested capital grows at a slower pace than Net operating profit after tax (”NOPAT”) through the remainder of 2024. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Specified Financial Measures

This news release contains total of segments measures, non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures (collectively, “specified financial measures”). Parkland’s management uses certain specified financial measures to analyze the operating and financial performance, leverage, and liquidity of the business. These specified financial measures do not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (”IFRS Accounting Standards”) and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The specified financial measures should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards. See Section 16 of the Q3 2024 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding specified financial measures used by Parkland.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios

Adjusted earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio, each representing the underlying core operating performance of business activities of Parkland at a consolidated level. The most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is Net earnings (loss).

Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share represent how well Parkland’s operational business is performing, while considering depreciation and amortization, interest on leases and long-term debt, accretion and other finance costs, and income taxes. The Company uses these measures because it believes that Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share are useful for management and investors in assessing the Company’s overall performance, as they exclude certain significant items that are not reflective of the Company’s underlying business operations.

See Section 16 of the Q3 2024 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for the detailed definition and composition of Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share.

Please see below for the reconciliation of Adjusted earnings (loss) to net earnings (loss) and calculation of Adjusted earnings (loss) per share.

Other adjusting items for the three months ended September 30, 2024, include (i) the share of depreciation, income taxes and other adjustments for investments in joint ventures and associates of $4 million (2023 – $5 million); (ii) other income of $3 million (2023 – $15 million); (iii) realized gains and losses on risk management and other assets and liabilities related to underlying physical sales activity in another period of nil (2023 – $1 million gain); and (iv) adjustment to foreign exchange losses related to cash pooling arrangements of nil (2023 – $1 million). Other adjusting items for the first nine months of 2024, include (i) realized gains and losses on risk management and other assets and liabilities related to underlying physical sales activity in another period of $12 million loss (2023 – $4 million gain); (ii) the share of depreciation, income taxes and other adjustments for investments in joint ventures and associates of $11 million (2023 – $11 million); (iii) other income of $8 million (2023 – $21 million); (iv) adjustment to foreign exchange losses related to cash pooling arrangements of $4 million (2023 – $1 million); (v) adjustment to realized risk management gains related to interest rate swaps as these gains do not relate to commodity sale and purchase transactions of $2 million (2023 – nil); and (vi) the effect of market-based performance conditions for equity-settled share-based award settlements of nil (2023 – $13 million).


2

The tax normalization adjustment was applied to net earnings (loss) adjusting items that were considered temporary differences, such as acquisition, integration and other costs, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, unrealized gains and losses on risk management and other, gains and losses on asset disposals, changes in fair value of redemption options, changes in estimates of environmental provisions, loss on inventory write-downs for which there are offsetting associated risk management derivatives with unrealized gains, impairments of non-current assets. The tax impact was estimated using the effective tax rates applicable to jurisdictions where the related items occur.


3

Weighted average number of common shares is calculated in accordance with Parkland’s accounting policy contained in Note 2 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Available cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and Available cash flow per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio. The most directly comparable financial measure for Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share is cash generated from (used in) operating activities. Parkland uses these measures to monitor its ability to generate cash flow for capital allocation, including distributions to shareholders, investment in the growth of the business, and deleveraging. Available cash flow is calculated as cash generated from (used in) operating activities adjusted for items such as (i) net change in (a) non-cash working capital and (b) other assets and other liabilities, (ii) maintenance capital expenditures, (iii) dividends received from investments in associates and joint ventures, (iv) interest on leases and long-term debt, and (v) payments on principal amounts on leases. Available cash flow per share is calculated as Available cash flow divided by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. Available cash flow per share Guidance is a non-GAAP financial ratio, which represents the forward-looking metric of Available cash flow per share. Available cash flow per share Guidance is calculated based on historical cash flow performance and the assumptions made on the future performance of Parkland. See following table for a calculation of historical Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share and a reconciliation to cash generated from (used in) operating activities.

Weighted average number of common shares is calculated in accordance with Parkland’s accounting policy contained in Note 2 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

ROIC is a non-GAAP financial ratio. The measure is calculated as a ratio of NOPAT divided by average invested capital. NOPAT describes the profitability of Parkland’s base operations, excluding the impact of leverage and certain other items of income and expenditure that are not considered representative of Parkland’s underlying core operating performance. NOPAT is based on Adjusted EBITDA, defined in the “Measures of Segment Profit and Total of Segments Measures” section of this news release, less depreciation expense and the estimated tax expense using the expected average tax rate estimated using statutory tax rates in each jurisdiction where Parkland operates. Average invested capital is the amount of capital deployed by Parkland that represents the average of opening and closing debt and shareholder’s equity, including equity reserves, net of cash and cash equivalents. We use this non-GAAP financial ratio to assess Parkland’s efficiency in investing capital. ROIC Guidance is a non-GAAP financial ratio, which represents the forward-looking metric of ROIC. ROIC Guidance is calculated based on the historic ROIC performance and the assumptions made on the future performance of Parkland.

Food and Company C-Store SSSG is a non-GAAP financial ratio and refers to the period-over-period sales growth generated by retail food and convenience stores at the same Company sites. The effects of opening and closing stores, temporary closures (including closures for On the Run / Marché Express conversions), expansions of stores, renovations of stores, and stores with changes in food service models in the period are excluded to derive a comparable same-store metric. Same-store sales growth is a metric commonly used in the retail industry that provides meaningful information to investors in assessing the health and strength of Parkland’s brands and retail network, which ultimately impacts financial performance. The most directly comparable financial measure to Food and Company C-Store SSSG is food and convenience store revenue within sales and operating revenue.

Below is a reconciliation of convenience store revenue (Food and C-Store revenue) for the Canada segment with the Food and Company C-Store same store sales (”SSS”), and the calculation of the Food and Company C-Store SSSG.

(1)

Percentages are calculated based on actual amounts and are impacted by rounding.


(2)

POS values used to calculate Food and Company C-Store SSSG are not a Parkland financial measure and do not form part of Parkland’s consolidated financial statements as Parkland earns rental income from retailers in the form of a percentage rent on convenience store sales. POS values are calculated based on the information obtained from Parkland’s POS systems at retail sites, including transactional data, such as sales, costs and volumes, which are subject to internal controls over financial reporting. We also use this data to calculate rental income from retailers in the form of a percentage rent on convenience store sales, which is recorded as revenue in our consolidated financial statements.


(3)

Includes rental income from retailers in the form of a percentage rent on Food and Company C-Store sales, royalty, and franchisee fees and excludes revenues from automated teller machines, POS system licensing fees, and other.


(4)

This adjustment excludes the effects of acquisitions, opening and closing stores, temporary closures (including closures for On the Run / Marché Express conversions), expansions of stores, renovations of stores, and stores with changes in food service models, to derive a comparable same-store metric.


(5)

Excludes sales from acquisitions completed within the year as these will not impact the metric until after the completion of one year of the acquisitions when the sales or volume generated establishes the baseline for these metrics.

These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Except as otherwise indicated, these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. See Section 16 of the Q3 2024 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding Parkland’s non-GAAP financial measures and ratios.

Capital Management Measures

Parkland’s primary capital management measure is the Leverage Ratio, which is used internally by key management personnel to monitor Parkland’s overall financial strength, capital structure flexibility, and ability to service debt and meet current and future commitments. In order to manage its financing requirements, Parkland may adjust capital spending or dividends paid to shareholders, or issue new shares or new debt. The Leverage Ratio is calculated as a ratio of Leverage Debt to Leverage EBITDA and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS Accounting Standards. It is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The detailed calculation of Leverage Ratio is as follows:

Measures of Segment Profit and Total of Segments Measures

Adjusted earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (”Adjusted EBITDA”) is a measure of segment profit and its aggregate is a total of segments measure used by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resource allocation to the segment and to assess its performance. In accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, adjustments and eliminations made in preparing an entity’s financial statements and allocations of revenue, expenses, and gains or losses shall be included in determining reported segment profit or loss only if they are included in the measure of the segment’s profit or loss that is used by the chief operating decision maker. As such, Parkland’s Adjusted EBITDA is unlikely to be comparable to similarly named measures presented by other issuers, who may calculate these measures differently. Parkland views Adjusted EBITDA as the key measure for the underlying core operating performance of business segment activities at an operational level. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to set targets for Parkland (including annual guidance and variable compensation targets) and is used to determine Parkland’s ability to service debt, finance capital expenditures and provide for dividend payments to shareholders. See Section 16 of the Q3 2024 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding total of segments measures used by Parkland. Refer to the table below for the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

Supplementary Financial Measures

Parkland uses a number of supplementary financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA Guidance, Liquidity available, TTM Cash generated from (used in) operating activities, and TTM Cash generated from (used in) operating activities per share, and these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, as other issuers may calculate these measures differently.

Non-Financial Measures

Parkland uses a number of non-financial measures, including Company SSVG, composite utilization and total recordable injury frequency rate, in measuring the success of our strategic objectives and to set variable compensation targets for employees. These non-financial measures are not accounting measures, do not have comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measures, and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, as other issuers may calculate these metrics differently.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this news release. Parkland does not undertake any obligations to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by securities law. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous risks, assumptions and uncertainties including, but not limited to: general economic, market and business conditions; micro and macroeconomic trends and conditions, including increases in interest rates, inflation and commodity prices; Parkland’s ability to execute its business objectives, projects and strategies, including the completion, financing and timing thereof, realizing the benefits therefrom and meeting our targets and commitments relating thereto; Parkland’s management systems and programs and risk management strategy; the competitive environment of our industry; retail pricing, margins and refining crack spreads; availability and pricing of petroleum product supply; volatility of crude oil and refined product prices; ability of suppliers to meet commitments; actions by governmental authorities and other regulators including but not limited to increases in taxes or restricted access to markets; environmental impact; changes in environmental and regulatory laws, including the ability to obtain or maintain required permits; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Parkland. In addition, the Revised 2023 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance range reflects the full year contribution of 2022 acquisitions, integration and synergy capture, and organic growth initiatives, and the key material assumptions include: an increase in Retail and Commercial Fuel and petroleum product adjusted gross margin of approximately 10% and Food, convenience and other adjusted gross margin of approximately 15% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022; and Refining adjusted gross margin of approximately $45 per barrel and average Burnaby Refinery utilization of approximately 80% based on the Burnaby Refinery’s crude processing capacity of 55,000 barrels per day. 2024 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance reflects continued integration and synergy capture, and organic growth initiatives, and the key material assumptions include: an increase in Retail and Commercial Fuel and petroleum product adjusted gross margin and Food, convenience and other adjusted gross margin of approximately 5% as compared to the year ending December 31, 2023; the realization of $100 million of MG&A cost efficiencies by 2024; and Refining adjusted gross margin of approximately $40 per barrel and average Burnaby Refinery utilization of 90% to 95% based on the Burnaby Refinery’s crude processing capacity of 55,000 barrels per day. Leverage Ratio Guidance and Cash generated from (used in) operating activities per share Guidance are mainly driven by increases in Adjusted EBITDA and assume no change in non-cash working capital. Interest expense is excluded from Cash generated from (used in) operating activities. See also the risks and uncertainties described in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” included in Parkland’s most recent Annual Information Form, and in “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” included in the Q2 2023 MD&A, each filed on SEDAR and available on the Parkland website at www.parkland.ca. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Supplementary Financial Measures

This news release refers to Adjusted EBITDA Guidance, Capital Expenditures Guidance (which is the summation of Maintenance Capital Expenditures Guidance and Growth Capital Expenditures Guidance), Leverage Ratio Guidance, Cash generated from (used in) operating activities per share Guidance, Fuel and petroleum adjusted gross margin, and Food, convenience and other adjusted gross margin, which are supplementary financial measures and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers, who may calculate these measures differently. See below and Section 16 of the Q2 2023 MD&A for a discussion of these supplementary financial measures, which is incorporated by reference into this presentation.

Cash generated from (used in) operating activities per share Guidance
This measure represents our forecast of Cash generated from (used in) operating activities per share for the twelve months ending December 31, 2024 and is calculated based on historical data and estimates of future conditions as inputs to make informed forecasts that are predictive in determining the direction of future trends. This measure is a forward-looking measure and the equivalent historical measure is Trailing-twelve-months (”TTM”) cash generated from (used in) operating activities per share. Parkland uses this measure as Guidance to shareholders regarding expected cash generation of Parkland’s business. See Section 16 of the Q2 2023 MD&A for further detail on the composition of TTM cash generated from (used in) operating activities per share. TTM cash generated from (used in) operating activities per share does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS. It is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Return on Invested Capital (”ROIC”)
This measure is composed of Net Operating Profit After Tax (”NOPAT”) and Invested Capital. ROIC is a non-GAAP ratio and NOPAT and Invested Capital are non-GAAP measures, which do not have standardized meanings under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly named measures disclosed by other issuers. NOPAT describes the profitability of Parkland’s base operations, excluding the impact of leverage and expenses not directly related to operations. Invested Capital is a measure for the total amount of capital deployed by Parkland. Each is used by management to assess the Company’s efficiency in allocating capital. See table below for a calculation of historical ROIC for 2021 and 2022, the calculation of NOPAT and the reconciliation to net earnings and the calculation of Invested Capital.

ROIC Guidance
This measure is the forward-looking metric of ROIC for 2024. 2024 NOPAT is assumed to grow in proportion to Adjusted EBITDA, where Parkland’s Adjusted EBITDA Guidance is $2 billion for 2024. The ROIC Guidance of more than 11 percent assumes Invested Capital increases at a slower pace than NOPAT through 2024. The ROIC calculated here differs from the absolute ROIC disclosed in the Management Information Circular.
