“I want to thank the Parkland team for safely serving our customers to deliver record second quarter results,” said Bob Espey, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our Canadian and International businesses continue to demonstrate strength and resilience, while strong supply optimization coupled with solid operations at the Burnaby refinery enabled us to capture above mid-cycle refining margins. These results reflect the run rate potential of Parkland's integrated platform and together with Sunoco, the combined scale is well positioned to grow cash flow for years to come.”
Q2 2025 Highlights
— Delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $508 million, as compared to $504 million in Q2 2024, primarily driven by strong operations and margins at the Burnaby Refinery and robust performance in the Canada segment. These were partially offset by lower fuel unit margins in the International segment and continued softness in the USA segment primarily due to ongoing macroeconomic pressures.
— Net earnings of $172 million ($0.99 per share, basic), as compared to $70 million ($0.40 per share, basic) in Q2 2024, and Adjusted earnings3 of $158 million ($0.91 per share, basic3), as compared to $156 million ($0.89 per share, basic) in Q2 2024.
— Trailing twelve months (“TTM”) Available cash flow3 of $551 million ($3.17 per share3), as compared to $823 million ($4.69 per share) in 2024, primarily reflecting a significantly lower refining margin environment during the second half of 2024 and realized losses due to the wind down of California compliance market positions in the first quarter of 2025. TTM Cash generated from (used in) operating activities4 of $1,656 million ($9.52 per share4), as compared to $1,612million ($9.19 per share) in 2024, reflecting favourable working capital movements in the current period.
— Leverage Ratio5 decreased to 3.4 times (3.6 times in Q4 2024) and liquidity available4 of approximately $2.2billion.
— Parkland's total recordable injury frequency rate6 on a TTM basis was 1.15, compared to 1.21 in Q2 2024, reflecting the Parkland team's continued focus on operational integrity.
Q2 2025 Segment Highlights
— Canada delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $190 million, as compared to $168 million in Q2 2024. The increase was primarily driven by stronger fuel unit margins from continued price and supply optimization, and volume growth in our company-owned network. We delivered company same-store volume growth (“CompanySSVG”)6 of 4.6 percent and Food and Company C-Store same-store sales growth (“Food and CompanyC-Store SSSG”)3 excluding cigarettes of 4.2 percent, reflecting stronger site execution, and increased engagement though our loyalty program.
— International delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $168 million, as compared to $180 million in Q2 2024. Continued strength in the retail business was more than offset by lower unit margins driven by market instability from global conflicts resulting in price volatility, particularly in diesel.
— USA delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $26 million, as compared to $47 million in Q2 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower fuel unit margins due to an ongoing competitive pricing environment and reduced rail and regional arbitrage opportunities. Lower retail volumes, consumer spending, and foot traffic in convenience stores were consistent with broader industry trends.
— Refining delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $136 million, as compared to $119 million in Q2 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher refining margins combined with strong composite utilization6of 94.0 percent.
Update on the Sunoco Transaction
Parkland shareholders approved the Sunoco Transaction at the June 24, 2025 Annual and Special Meeting, with more than 93 percent of votes cast in favour. Following this strong shareholder endorsement, Parkland received a final order from the Court of King's Bench of Alberta's approval and the parties have obtained Competition Act (Canada) clearance.
The Sunoco Transaction continues to advance through the remaining regulatory review processes and other closing conditions, including the ongoing review under the Investment Canada Act, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The Company will terminate its Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) effective August 6, 2025. The DRIP has been suspended since November 2, 2022.
2025 Guidance
Following strong second quarter 2025 operating and financial results, Parkland remains on track to be within its previously stated 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance4 range of $1,800 to $2,100 million and 2025 Capital Expenditure Guidance4 range of $475 to $525 million.
Due to expected transaction-related costs and certain restrictions associated with the Sunoco Transaction, and to simplify external guidance, Parkland will no longer provide updates with respect to its 2025 Available cash flow per share, 2025 Leverage Ratio, non-core asset divestment program from 2023 to 2025 and 2025 Adjusted EBITDA for its Refining segment.

Specified Financial Measures
This news release contains total of segments measures, non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures (collectively, “specified financial measures”). Parkland's management uses certain specified financial measures to analyze the operating and financial performance, leverage, and liquidity of the business. These specified financial measures do not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The specified financial measures should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards. See Section 15 of the Q2 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding specified financial measures used by Parkland.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios
Adjusted earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio, each representing the underlying core operating performance of business activities of Parkland at a consolidated level. The most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is Net earnings (loss).
Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share represent how well Parkland's operational business is performing, while considering depreciation and amortization, interest on leases and long-term debt, accretion and other finance costs, and income taxes. The Company uses these measures because it believes that Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share are useful for management and investors in assessing the Company's overall performance, as they exclude certain items that are not reflective of the Company's underlying business operations.
See Section 15 of the Q2 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for the detailed definition and composition of Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share.
Please see below for the reconciliation of Adjusted earnings (loss) to net earnings (loss) and the calculation of Adjusted earnings (loss) per share.
Available cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and Available cash flow per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio. The most directly comparable financial measure for Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share is cash generated from (used in) operating activities. Parkland uses these measures to set targets (including annual guidance and variable compensation target) and monitor its ability to generate cash flow for capital allocation, including distributions to shareholders, investment in the growth of the business, and deleveraging. See Section 15 of the Q2 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for the detailed definition and composition of Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share. See the following table for a calculation of historical Available cash flow and Available cash flow per share and a reconciliation to cash generated from (used in) operating activities.
ROIC is a non-GAAP financial ratio. The measure is calculated as a ratio of Net operating profit after tax (“NOPAT”) divided by average invested capital. NOPAT describes the profitability of Parkland's base operations, excluding the impact of leverage and certain other items of income and expenditure that are not considered representative of Parkland's underlying core operating performance. NOPAT is based on Adjusted EBITDA, defined in the “Measures of Segment Profit (Loss) and Total of Segments Measures” section of this news release, less depreciation and amortization expense, including pro-forma depreciation on assets classified as held for sale, and the estimated tax expense using the expected average tax rate estimated using statutory tax rates in each jurisdiction where Parkland operates. Average invested capital is the amount of capital deployed by Parkland that represents the average of opening and closing debt, including debt liabilities classified as held for sale, as well as shareholder's equity, including equity reserves, net of cash and cash equivalents. We use this non-GAAP measure to assess Parkland's efficiency in investing capital.
Food and Company C-Store SSSGis a non-GAAP financial ratioand refers to the period-over-period sales growth generated by retail food and convenience stores at the same Company sites. The effects of opening and closing stores, temporary closures (including closures for On the Run / Marché Express conversions), expansions of stores, renovations of stores, and stores with changes in food service models in the period are excluded to derive a comparable same-store metric. Same-store sales growth is a metric commonly used in the retail industry that provides meaningful information to investors in assessing the health and strength of Parkland's brands and retail network, which ultimately impacts financial performance. The most directly comparable financial measure to Food and Company C-Store SSSG is food and convenience store revenue within sales and operating revenue.
Below is a reconciliation of convenience store revenue (Food and C-Store revenue) for the Canada segment with the Food and Company C-Store same store sales (“SSS”), and the calculation of the Food and Company C-Store SSSG.
These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Except as otherwise indicated, these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. See Section 15 of the Q2 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding Parkland's non-GAAP financial measures and ratios.
Capital Management Measures
Parkland's primary capital management measure is the Leverage Ratio, which is used internally by key management personnel to monitor Parkland's overall financial strength, capital structure flexibility, and ability to service debt and meet current and future commitments. In order to manage its financing requirements, Parkland may adjust capital spending or dividends paid to shareholders or issue new shares or new debt. The Leverage Ratio is calculated as a ratio of Leverage Debt to Leverage EBITDA and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS Accounting Standards. It is, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The detailed calculation of the Leverage Ratio is as follows:
Measures of Segment Profit (Loss) and Total of Segments Measures
Adjusted earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a measure of segment profit (loss) and its aggregate is a total of segments measure used by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resource allocation to the segment and to assess its performance. In accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, adjustments and eliminations made in preparing an entity's financial statements and allocations of revenue, expenses, and gains or losses shall be included in determining reported segment profit (loss) only if they are included in the measure of the segment's profit (loss) that is used by the chief operating decision maker. As such, Parkland's Adjusted EBITDA is unlikely to be comparable to measures of segment profit (loss) presented by other issuers, who may calculate these measures differently. Parkland views Adjusted EBITDA as the key measure for the underlying core operating performance of business segment activities at an operational level. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to set targets for Parkland (including annual guidance and variable compensation targets) and is used to determine Parkland's ability to service debt, finance capital expenditures and provide for dividend payments to shareholders. See Section 15 of the Q2 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for the detailed definition and composition of Adjusted EBITDA. Refer to the table below for the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June30, 2024.
Supplementary Financial Measures
Parkland uses a number of supplementary financial measures, including TTM Cash generated from (used in) operating activities, TTM Cash generated from (used in) operating activities per share, liquidity available and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance and Capital Expenditure Guidance, to evaluate the success of our strategic objectives. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, as other issuers may calculate these measures differently. See Section 15 of the Q2 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details regarding supplementary financial measures used by Parkland, including the composition of such measures.
Non-Financial Measures
Parkland uses a number of non-financial measures, including Company SSVG, composite utilization and total recordable injury frequency rate, to measure the success of our strategic objectives and to set variable compensation targets for employees, where applicable. These non-financial measures are not accounting measures, do not have comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measures, and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, as other issuers may calculate these metrics differently. See Section 15 of the Q2 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference into this news release, for further details on the non-financial measures used by Parkland.
