CrossAmerica Partners LP Declares Increase of Quarterly Distribution

  • An increase of $0.015 per unit increase from prior quarter, representing a 2.7% increase from previous quarterly distribution per unit
  • Consistent with previously announced guidance of increasing distributions per unit attributable to 2015 by 7% to 9% over 2014

ALLENTOWN, PA (August 24, 2015) - CrossAmerica Partners LP (NYSE: CAPL) announced today that the Board of Directors of its general partner has approved a quarterly distribution of $0.5625 per unit attributable to the second quarter of 2015 (annualized $2.25 per unit), representing a 2.7% increase in the Partnership's cash distribution per unit from $0.5475 per quarter ($2.19 per unit annualized) paid with respect to the first quarter of 2015.  The distribution attributable to the second quarter is payable on September 11, 2015 to all unitholders of record on September 4, 2015.

"As we stated when we released our second quarter earnings earlier this month, we generated our highest distributable cash flow to date of $14.3 million thanks to strong cash contribution from our wholesale fuel, rental income, and retail operations segments," said Joe Topper, CEO of CrossAmerica Partners. "This 1.5 cent per unit increase in our quarterly distribution is consistent with our previously provided guidance to increase distributions per unit attributable to 2015 by 7%-9% over 2014."

In addition, the Partnership plans to declare future quarterly distributions in conjunction with the release of its quarterly financial results.  "We have modified our distribution announcement policy to reduce the time between the end of a quarter and the subsequent announcement and payment of distributions to our unit holders," said Kim Lubel, Chairman of the Board of CrossAmerica's general partner and Chairman and CEO of CST Brands, Inc.  "We continue to be pleased with the operational performance and cash flow generation of the Partnership and look forward to further growth in distributable cash flow and distributions to unit holders in years to come."
