Casey's Announces Second Quarter Results
Ankeny, IA, December 9, 2024 - Casey’s General Stores, Inc. ("Casey's" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: CASY) one of the leading convenience store chains in the United States, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024.
Second Quarter Key Highlights
•Diluted EPS of $4.85, up 14% from the same period a year ago. Net income was $181 million, up 14%, and EBITDA1 was $349 million, up 14%, from the same period a year ago.
•Inside same-store sales increased 4.0% compared to prior year, and 7.1% on a two-year stack basis, with an inside margin of 42.2%. Total inside gross profit increased 12.0% to $619.7 million compared to the prior year.
•Same-store fuel gallons were down 0.6% compared to prior year with a fuel margin of 40.2 cents per gallon. Total fuel gross profit increased 1.1% to $312.3 million compared to the prior year.
•Same-store operating expenses excluding credit card fees were up 2.3%, favorably impacted by a 1% reduction in same-store labor hours.
•Subsequent to quarter end, on November 1, 2024, Casey's closed the previously announced Fikes Wholesale ("Fikes") transaction, acquiring 198 CEFCO Convenience Stores.
"Casey's delivered a strong second quarter highlighted by robust inside gross profit growth,” said Darren Rebelez, Board Chair, President and CEO. “Inside same-store sales were driven by the prepared food and dispensed beverage category, with hot sandwiches and cold dispensed beverage performing exceptionally well. Our fuel team continues to balance volume and margin as they achieved over 40 cents per gallon fuel margin while outpacing the relevant geographic market in same-store fuel gallons. The operations team continues to focus on efficiency while serving our guests, as we reduced same-store labor hours for the tenth consecutive quarter. Finally, we are excited to have closed on the Fikes acquisition and we want to welcome the team to the Casey’s family."

Liquidity
At October 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.25 billion in available liquidity, consisting of approximately $352 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand and approximately $900 million in available borrowing capacity on existing lines of credit. The liquidity calculation excludes the impact of the restricted cash included within long-term assets as of October 31, 2024. The restricted cash relates to cash held in a funding account for the acquisition of Fikes, which closed on November 1, 2024, subsequent to quarter end.

Fiscal 2025 Outlook
Casey’s is updating the 2025 outlook primarily due to the acquisition of Fikes, which closed on November 1, 2024.
For the second half of fiscal 2025 specifically related to the Fikes transaction: Casey’s expects to incur an additional $15 to $20 million in one-time deal and integration costs, primarily in the third quarter. EBITDA contribution from Fikes is expected to be modestly dilutive in the third quarter, primarily due to the transaction and integration costs previously mentioned. EBITDA contribution from Fikes is expected to be modestly accretive in the fourth quarter. Interest expense will be approximately $35 million higher than the original outlook due to the financing of the transaction.
For Casey’s total fiscal 2025 year outlook including the impact of the Fikes acquisition: EBITDA is expected to increase at least 10%. Total operating expenses are expected to increase 11% to 13% for the fiscal year, including approximately $25 to $30 million in one-time deal and integration costs, while same-store operating expense excluding credit card fees are expected to only increase 2% for the year. Net interest expense is expected to be approximately $90 million for the year. Depreciation and amortization is expected to be approximately $410 million and the purchase of property and equipment is expected to be approximately $550 million. The tax rate is expected to be approximately 23% to 25% for the fiscal year.
Casey’s is not updating its outlook for the following metrics: Casey’s expects to add approximately 270 stores for the fiscal year. The Company expects inside same-store sales to increase 3% to 5% and inside margin comparable to fiscal 2024. The Company expects same-store fuel gallons sold to be between negative 1% to positive 1%.

RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not considered to be a GAAP measure, and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities or other income or cash flow statement data. This measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
We believe EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use this calculation as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities, and it is regularly used by management for internal purposes including our capital budgeting process, evaluating acquisition targets, assessing performance, and awarding incentive compensation.
Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, EBITDA, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. It therefore may not be possible to compare our use of this non-GAAP financial measure with those used by other companies.
The following table contains a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023:
