Eric Slifka: Thank you, Kristin, and good morning, everyone. We delivered a strong Q2 with each of our operating segments contributing meaningfully and our teams executing at a high level across the business. These results underscore the strength of Global's integrated liquid energy platform and the advantage of operating across products, markets, and customers. That diversification is a competitive strength and allows us to capture value across changing market conditions and generate attractive returns. During the quarter, our Gasoline Distribution Station Operations segment benefited from improved fuel margins while our Wholesale and Commercial segment also delivered positive year-over-year growth. These results reinforce the resiliency of our model and the value of maintaining a portfolio of assets that can perform across a variety of operating environments. The core of our business is predictable, delivering steady cash flow regardless of the market.

Eric Slifka: On top of that foundation is our ability to capture additional value when markets are dynamic. We pursue that upside within a disciplined framework that manages our exposure as conditions shift. Against that backdrop, refined product markets remain volatile with geopolitical developments contributing to elevated price swings, increased inventory risk, and tight inventory levels.

The distribution will be paid on 14 August to unitholders of record as of 12 August. Now let me turn the call over to Gregg for the financial review. Gregg?

Gregg Brody: Would you mind just talking a little bit about the consumer behavior, what you're seeing out there? Are higher prices affecting purchases at all?

Gregg Brody: Would you mind just talking a little bit about the consumer behavior, what you're seeing out there? Are higher prices affecting purchases at all?

Speaker #3: Yeah, good morning, Greg. It's Mark. I think we're seeing a little bit of that. We're seeing a little bit of impact from inflation and higher prices.

Mark Romaine: Yeah. Good morning, Greg. It's Mark. I think we're seeing a little bit of that. We're seeing a little bit of impact from inflation, higher prices. I think where that shows up is the average size of the fill-up is probably down a little bit. I wouldn't say in a material fashion, and that could be also trading down from 93 octane to 87 octane. From a store standpoint, our store sales are pretty good. Transactions may be down a shade, but we're not seeing anything material.

Mark Romaine: Yeah. Good morning, Greg. It's Mark. I think we're seeing a little bit of that. We're seeing a little bit of impact from inflation, higher prices.

Speaker #3: I think where that shows up is, the average size of the fill-up is probably down a little bit. But I wouldn't say in a material fashion, and that's trading—that could be trading—also trading down from 93 octane to 87 octane.

Speaker #3: From a store standpoint, our store sales are pretty good. Transactions may be down a shade, but I wouldn't say anything material—we're not seeing anything material.

Speaker #6: Guys, I don't see it in your numbers. It is interesting. And that's continued through this first month of this quarter. Same as Q2.

Gregg Brody: Yes. I don't see it in your numbers. It is interesting. That's continued through the first month of this quarter, same as Q2.

Gregg Brody: Yes. I don't see it in your numbers. It is interesting. That's continued through the first month of this quarter, same as Q2.

Speaker #3: You're talking about July?

Mark Romaine: You're talking about July?

Mark Romaine: You're talking about July?

Speaker #6: This customer behavior. Yeah. Yeah, customer behavior has been.

Gregg Brody: Just customer behavior. Yeah. Customer behavior is

Gregg Brody: Just customer behavior. Yeah. Customer behavior is

Mark Romaine: Yeah, I don't think we're seeing anything material different here as we enter into, or as we sit in the middle of Q3. I don't think we see anything different than we've seen for the better part of the year.

Mark Romaine: Yeah, I don't think we're seeing anything material different here as we enter into, or as we sit in the middle of Q3. I don't think we see anything different than we've seen for the better part of the year.

Speaker #6: Got it. So, decisions depend on the profits. Historically, you paid it down and refinanced it, but it sounds like that’s a permanent decision.

Gregg Brody: Got it. Just decisions to pay down the PREF, historically, you paid it down and refinanced it sounds like that's a permanent decision. Is this just cost of capital, or is there a change in the way you're viewing your credit profile?

Gregg Brody: Got it. Just decisions to pay down the PREF, historically, you paid it down and refinanced it sounds like that's a permanent decision. Is this just cost of capital, or is there a change in the way you're viewing your credit profile?

Speaker #6: Is that just cost of capital, or is there a change in the way you're viewing your credit profile?

Speaker #3: Yeah, I mean, I guess there's a couple of things. One, it's a very accretive. Obviously, it was at the fixed rate at 9.5%. It's a nice piece of paper.

Gregory B. Hanson: Yeah, I guess it's a couple things. One, it's very accretive. Obviously, it was at a fixed rate at 9.5%. It's a nice piece of paper. We used it for acquisitions as an equity component on acquisitions in the previous. Like the Series A, after five years when you're callable, given where our cost of capital is right now, we also produced significant amount of excess cash flow year to date. It made a lot of sense to simplify our capital structure and take it out on a very accretive basis overall. Doesn't mean we wouldn't look to the PREF equity or equity markets in the future for certain acquisitions.

Gregory Hanson: Yeah, I guess it's a couple things. One, it's very accretive. Obviously, it was at a fixed rate at 9.5%. It's a nice piece of paper. We used it for acquisitions as an equity component on acquisitions in the previous. Like the Series A, after five years when you're callable, given where our cost of capital is right now, we also produced significant amount of excess cash flow year to date. It made a lot of sense to simplify our capital structure and take it out on a very accretive basis overall. Doesn't mean we wouldn't look to the PREF equity or equity markets in the future for certain acquisitions.

Speaker #3: We had it for we used it for acquisitions as an but like the Series A, after five years, when your callable given where our cost of capital is right now and we also produced significant amount of excess cash flow year to date, and so it made a lot of sense to simplify our capital structure and take it out on a very accretive basis overall.

Speaker #3: It doesn't mean we wouldn't look to the prep equity or equity markets in the future for certain acquisitions, but given where we stand today, we've got a lot of excess capacity under our bank facilities and a very strong balance sheet, so it made a lot of sense.

Gregory B. Hanson: Given where we stand today, we've got a lot of excess capacity under our bank facilities and a very strong balance sheet, it made a lot of sense on an accretion basis to take it out.

Gregory Hanson: Given where we stand today, we've got a lot of excess capacity under our bank facilities and a very strong balance sheet, it made a lot of sense on an accretion basis to take it out.

Speaker #3: On an accretion basis to take it out.

Speaker #6: And just the last question from me. Can you just talk about the M&A environment today? What you're seeing out there, the opportunity set and the potential for you to be active?

Gregg Brody: Just the last question from me. Can you just talk about the M&A environment today? What you're seeing out there in the opportunity set and the potential for you to be active?

Gregg Brody: Just the last question from me. Can you just talk about the M&A environment today? What you're seeing out there in the opportunity set and the potential for you to be active?

Speaker #3: Yeah, I think it's been busy and there's a lot that's out there. And as I've sort of always said, we're going to look for the right assets.

Eric Slifka: Yeah, I think it's been busy, and there's a lot that's out there. As I've sort of always said, we're going to look for the right assets. We should be the high bidder on assets that fit us and complement our existing asset base and we'll be in a position to try and execute on some deals.

Eric Slifka: Yeah, I think it's been busy, and there's a lot that's out there. As I've sort of always said, we're going to look for the right assets. We should be the high bidder on assets that fit us and complement our existing asset base and we'll be in a position to try and execute on some deals.

Speaker #3: We should be the high bidder on assets that fit us and complement our existing asset base and hopefully be in a position to try and execute on some deals.
