Analysis · APC · Trade & Services
In its first quarterly report as a public company, ARKO Petroleum delivered net income of $12.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $39.8 million, underscoring solid profitability. Confidence in cash flow is further signaled by a regular quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share. The standout development, however, is the August 4 agreement to acquire U.S. Petroleum Partners' fuel distribution assets for approximately $205 million in cash and $30 million in stock. The deal brings over 400 dealer locations, two fuel terminals, and a truck fleet, which would markedly expand the wholesale footprint in the Great Lakes region. Closing is subject to regulatory approval and other conditions, with an earn-out tied to EBITDA targets. Ahead of this acquisition, the balance sheet was strengthened by using IPO proceeds to pay down debt.
