• Strong Q1 2026 Financial Performance

  Net income surged to $70.1 million ($1.86 basic EPS) in Q1 2026, a significant increase from $18.7 million ($0.37 basic EPS) in Q1 2025. Gross profit rose 30% to $332.2 million, and operating income grew 89% to $105.7 million.

• Increased Sales and Product Margins

  Total sales increased 16% to $5.3 billion, driven by higher prices and a 210 million gallon increase in volume. Product margins improved across all segments, notably in Wholesale (gasoline and residual oil) and Gasoline Distribution and Station Operations (GDSO).

• Expanded Credit Facility Enhances Liquidity

  The company exercised an accordion feature in its credit agreement, increasing total commitment from $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion, including an additional $300 million in working capital interim commitments. This bolsters liquidity and financial flexibility.

• Increased Cash Used in Operating Activities

  Net cash used in operating activities increased to $104.7 million from $51.6 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to changes in accounts receivable and inventories, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and derivative liabilities.

Global Partners LP's Q1 2026 results demonstrate substantial financial improvement across key metrics, building on the preliminary announcement made earlier today. The significant increase in net income, EPS, and operating income, driven by favorable market conditions and higher sales volumes, indicates robust operational performance. Furthermore, the expansion of the credit facility by $300 million to $1.8 billion significantly enhances the company's liquidity and financial flexibility, providing a stronger capital base for future operations and growth initiatives. While net cash used in operating activities increased, this is largely offset by the overall strong profitability and improved working capital position.
