3. Acquisitions Transit Energy Group, LLC On March 1, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets from Transit Energy Group, LLC and certain of its affiliated entities (collectively, “TEG”) pursuant to a purchase agreement entered on September 9, 2022, as amended (the “TEG Purchase Agreement”), including (i) 135 Company-operated convenience stores and gas stations, (ii) fuel supply rights to 192 dealer locations, (iii) a commercial, government, and industrial business, including certain bulk plants, and (iv) certain distribution and transportation assets, all in the southeastern United States (the “TEG Acquisition”). The purchase price for the TEG Acquisition was approximately $370 million, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of the TEG Purchase Agreement, plus the value of inventory at the closing, of which $50 million was deferred and payable in two annual payments of $25 million, which the Company may elect to pay in either cash or, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, shares of common stock (the “Installment Shares”), on the first and second anniversaries of the closing. Pursuant to the TEG Purchase Agreement, at closing, ARKO and TEG entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which ARKO agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC, registering the Installment Shares, if any, for resale by TEG. The Company paid approximately $81 million of the non-deferred purchase price including the value of inventory and other closing adjustments, of which approximately $55.0 million was financed with the Capital One Line of Credit (as defined in Note 4 below). An affiliate of Oak Street Real Estate Capital Net Lease Property Fund, LP (“Oak Street”), under the Company’s standby real estate purchase, designation and lease program agreement with Oak Street, dated as of May 3, 2021 (as amended, the “Program Agreement”), paid the balance of the non-deferred purchase price for fee simple ownership in 104 sites. At the closing, pursuant to the Program Agreement, the Company entered into a master lease with Oak Street for the sites Oak Street acquired in the transaction under customary lease terms. For accounting purposes, the transaction with Oak Street was treated as a sale-leaseback. Because the sale-leaseback was off-market, a financial liability of $51.6 million was recorded, resulting in interest expense recognized over the lease term. Additionally, right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $131.3 million were recorded in connection with the operating lease, after reducing for accounting purposes from the contractual lease payments the amount attributable to the repayment of the additional financing. The details of the TEG Acquisition were as follows:
The initial accounting treatment of the TEG Acquisition reflected in these interim financial statements is provisional as the Company has not yet finalized the initial accounting treatment of the business combination, and, in this regard, has not finalized the valuation of some of the assets and liabilities acquired and the goodwill resulting from the TEG Acquisition, mainly due to the limited period of time between the TEG Acquisition closing date and the date of these interim financial statements. Therefore, some of the financial information presented with respect to the TEG Acquisition in these interim financial statements remains subject to change. The Company included identifiable tangible assets and identifiable liabilities at their respective fair values based on the information available to the Company’s management on the TEG Acquisition closing date, including, among other things, a preliminary valuation performed by management. The useful life of both the wholesale fuel supply contracts and the brand name was estimated at five years. The Company’s preliminary accounting treatment of the TEG Acquisition resulted in no goodwill being recorded. Acquisition-related costs amounting to approximately $2.2 million have been excluded from the consideration transferred and have been recognized as an expense within other expenses, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. No acquisition-related costs were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Results of operations for the TEG Acquisition for the period subsequent to the acquisition closing date were included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the period from the TEG Acquisition closing date through March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $76.9 million in revenues and an immaterial amount of net income related to the TEG Acquisition. Impact of Acquisitions (unaudited) The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information presented below was prepared based on the historical information of the Company and the acquired operations and gives pro forma effect to the acquisitions using the assumption that the TEG Acquisition, the acquisition of 184 Quarles cardlock sites and 46 dealer locations on July 22, 2022, and the acquisition of 31 Pride sites on December 6, 2022 had occurred at the beginning of each period presented below. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information does not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the acquisitions or any integration costs. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of each period presented below nor is it indicative of future results.
Pending Acquisition – WTG Fuels, LLC On December 6, 2022, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into an asset purchase agreement with WTG Fuels Holdings, LLC and certain other sellers party thereto, pursuant to which the sellers have agreed to sell to such subsidiaries certain assets (the “WTG Acquisition”), including:
•
24 Uncle’s company-operated convenience stores located across western Texas; and
•
66 proprietary GASCARD-branded fleet fueling cardlock sites and 43 private cardlock sites located in western Texas and southeastern New Mexico.
The purchase price for the WTG Acquisition is approximately $140.4 million plus the value of inventory on the closing date, subject to certain other closing adjustments. The Company intends to finance from its own sources approximately $25.4 million plus the value of inventory and other closing adjustments. Oak Street, under the Program Agreement, has agreed to pay the remaining consideration to acquire certain of the real properties from the sellers, which the Company will lease from Oak Street. The closing of the WTG Acquisition is subject to fulfillment of customary conditions precedent and the completion of various transition planning matters. The Company currently anticipates the closing to occur by the end of the second quarter of 2023. There can be no assurances that the WTG Acquisition will be consummated on the foregoing terms, if at all. |
