Net income and Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2023 were lower versus the prior-year period, due primarily to lower total fuel contribution and increases in store operating expenses and general and administrative expenses, which were partially offset by higher overall merchandise contribution margins and lower payment fees.

Total fuel contribution dollars of $419.0 million decreased $49.1 million, or 10.5%, in Q3 2023 compared to Q3 2022 due to lower total fuel contribution margins and retail volumes sold during the period. Retail fuel contribution dollars decreased $140.9 million, or 28.8%, to $348.6 million compared to Q3 2022 due to lower retail fuel margins and volumes sold. Current quarter retail fuel margins were strong at 28.7 cpg, although it was a 27.0% decline when compared to Q3 2022, which benefited from a declining commodity price environment. Overall, retail volumes were slightly lower by 2.5% when compared to the prior-year quarter. PS&W margins (including RINs) improved $91.8 million, when compared to Q3 2022, reflecting higher contribution from inventory pricing adjustments partially offset by weaker spot-to-rack spreads.

Total store and other operating expenses were $11.1 million higher in Q3 2023 versus Q3 2022, mainly due to employee related expenses, store maintenance costs, and inventory shrink costs partially offset by lower payment fees. Store OPEX excluding payment fees and rent on an APSM basis were 5.8% higher versus Q3 2022, primarily attributable to increased employee related expenses, maintenance, and inventory shrink costs. Total SG&A costs for Q3 2023 were $7.6 million higher than Q3 2022 primarily due to higher employee and incentive costs and professional and technology fees from business improvement initiatives.

2023 Guidance Update

The Company is taking the opportunity to update specific guidance metrics initially provided in January. Due to ongoing challenges in permitting new sites, contractor delays, and other supply chain hurdles, the forecast is now 27-30 new stores to open in 2023, versus the "up to 45" in the original guidance. The Company successfully redirected capital to slightly increase raze-and-rebuild activity, planning to end the year at 33 stores, above the initial guidance of "up to 30" stores. Accordingly, as some of the growth capital is deferred into 2024 due to delays in new store growth, the expected range of capital expenditures should approximate $325 million to $375 million, from $375 million to $425 million previously.

All other previously issued guidance metrics remain unchanged. More details on the guidance updates will be shared in the earnings conference call noted below.

Earnings Call Information

The Company will host a conference call on November 2, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time to discuss third quarter 2023 results. The conference call number is 1 (888) 330-2384 and the conference number is 6680883. The earnings and investor related materials, including reconciliations of any non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures and any other applicable disclosures, will be available on that same day on the investor section of the Murphy USA website (http://ir.corporate.murphyusa.com). Approximately one hour after the conclusion of the conference, the webcast will be available for replay. Shortly thereafter, a transcript will be available.

Notes

Average Per Store Month (APSM) metric includes all stores open through the date of the calculation, including stores acquired during the period.

Same store sales (SSS) metric includes aggregated individual store results for all stores open throughout both periods presented. For all periods presented, the store must have been open for the entire calendar year to be included in the comparison. Remodeled stores that remained open or were closed for just a very brief time (less than a month) during the period being compared remain in the same store sales calculation. If a store is replaced either at the same location (raze-and-rebuild) or relocated to a new location, it will be excluded from the calculation during the period it is out of service. Newly constructed stores do not enter the calculation until they are open for each full calendar year for the periods being compared (open by January 1, 2022 for the stores being compared in the 2023 versus 2022 comparison). Acquired stores are not included in the calculation of same store sales for the first 12 months after the acquisition. When prior period same store sales volumes or sales are presented, they have not been revised for current year activity for raze-and-rebuilds and asset dispositions.

QuickChek uses a weekly retail calendar where each quarter has 13 weeks. For Q3 2023, the QuickChek results cover the period July 1, 2023 to September 29, 2023 and the 2023 year-to-date period December 31, 2022 to September 29, 2023. For Q3 2022, the QuickChek results cover the period July 2, 2022 to September 30, 2022 and the 2022 year-to-date period January 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022. The difference in the timing of the period ends is immaterial to the overall consolidated results.

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

The following table sets forth the Company’s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. EBITDA means net income (loss) plus net interest expense, plus income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA adds back (i) other non-cash items (e.g., impairment of properties and accretion of asset retirement obligations) and (ii) other items that management does not consider to be meaningful in assessing our operating performance (e.g., (income) from discontinued operations, net settlement proceeds, (gain) loss on sale of assets, loss on early debt extinguishment, transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, and other non-operating (income) expense). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures that are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

We use Adjusted EBITDA in our operational and financial decision-making, believing that the measure is useful to eliminate certain items in order to focus on what we deem to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance and our ability to generate cash flow from operations. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by many of our investors, research analysts, investment bankers, and lenders to assess our operating performance. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it allows understanding of a key measure that we evaluate internally when making operating and strategic decisions, preparing our annual plan, and evaluating our overall performance. However, non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be prepared differently by us than by other companies using similarly titled non-GAAP measures.

The reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:
