EL DORADO, Ark., July 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Murphy USA Inc. (NYSE: MUSA), a leading marketer of retail motor fuel products and convenience merchandise, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June30, 2020.

Key Highlights:

-- Net income was $168.9 million, or $5.73 per diluted share, in Q2 2020 compared to net income of $32.7million, or $1.01 per diluted share, in Q2 2019 -- Total fuel contribution (retail fuel margin plus product supply and wholesale ("PS&W") results including RINs) for Q2 2020 was 38.3 cpg compared to 14.7 cpg in Q2 2019 -- Total retail gallons decreased 25.7% in Q2 2020 compared to Q2 2019, while volumes on a same store sales ("SSS") basis decreased 27.4% -- Merchandise contribution dollars grew 12.2% to $118.4 million compared to the prior-year quarter, on average unit margins of 15.4% in the current quarter -- During Q2 2020, 3 new stores opened and 8 raze-and-rebuild sites were re-opened. In addition, the Company divested all 9 Minnesota stores to a private company for an immaterial gain; there are 11 new sites and 6 raze-and-rebuild sites currently under construction

Murphy USAs record second quarter performance once again demonstrated the competitive advantages of our distinctive business model and customer positioning," said President and CEO Andrew Clyde. "Fuel margins significantly outpaced volume declines due to COVID-19 related demand destruction even as commodity prices rose sharply in May and June. As volume recovers in July to over 90-percent of prior year levels reflecting our every-day low price positioning and more favorable geographies and locations, robust fuel margins continue to generate higher than normal fuel contribution for Murphy USA. Merchandise sales and margins have kept record pace as prior and current investments in tobacco categories led to further acceleration of additional market share gains while innovation in general merchandise and recovering traffic boosted non-tobacco categories. Our outlook for the remainder of 2020 and 2021 remains very positive as the underlying structural basis for these trends further solidifies. With a strong cash position and flexible balance sheet, Murphy USA remains well positioned to accelerate its balanced strategic capital allocation priorities over the next few years, including the previously announced growth in new-to-industry sites and front-loaded share repurchase program.

Consolidated Results

Net income, diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2020 were significantly greater than Q2 2019 levels primarily due to a higher all-in fuel contribution, merchandise contribution and other operating revenues, combined with lower station operating expenses.

Total fuel contribution dollars increased 93.6%, or $156.9 million, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. Retail fuel margins of 31.7 cpg were 136.6% higher than the second quarter 2019, which helped increase total retail fuel contribution dollars by $116.4 million to $268.8million. Retail fuel volumes were lower during the quarter compared to prior year volumes primarily due to stay-at-home restrictions in our areas of operation which began lifting in most areas toward the end of the quarter. In addition, PS&W contributions increased $28.8million when compared to Q2 2019 caused by positive timing and inventory adjustments resulting from higher trending prices throughout the quarter. Higher RIN prices in Q2 2020 contributed $11.7million to the total fuel contribution improvement compared to the prior year.

Total merchandise contributionincreased 12.2% to $118.4 million in the second quarter 2020 from $105.5 million in the second quarter 2019, due to higher sales across the chain. Q2 2020 total merchandise contribution dollars per store on a SSS basis increased 11.9% when compared to Q2 2019. Tobacco contribution increased 19.2% on a SSS basis due to higher unit volumes, generating higher sales and margin during the current period. Non-tobacco contribution improved 1.8% primarily due to strong performance in the lottery and general merchandise categories when compared to the prior year quarter.

Other Areas

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30,Key Operating Metrics 2020 2019 2020 2019Total station and other $ 131.8 $ 145.6 $ 266.9 $ 278.4operating expense ($ Millions)Station OPEX excluding credit $ 21.1 $ 21.4 $ 20.6 $ 20.7card fees and rent ($K APSM)Total SG&A cost ($ Millions) $ 37.1 $ 35.1 $ 76.3 $ 69.7

Station OPEX excluding payment fees and rent, decreased 1.8% from the same period of 2019, on an APSM basis and was primarily attributable to lower maintenance expense. As noted in our 2020 guidance, we have removed rent from station OPEX on an APSM basis for both periods presented. Total SG&A costs were $2.0 million higher in Q2 2020 when compared to 2019, primarily due to increased employee-related expenses and professional fees from business improvement initiatives.

Station Openings

Murphy USA opened 3 new retail locations, re-opened 8 raze-and-rebuild sites and sold 9 locations in Q2 2020, bringing the store count to 1,485, consisting of 1,152 Murphy USA sites and 333 Murphy Express sites. A total of 17 stores are currently under construction which includes 11 new retail locations and 6 kiosks undergoing raze-and-rebuild that will return to operation as 1400 sq. ft. stores.

During Q2 2020, Murphy USA sold all 9 Minnesota stores to a private company and recognized an immaterial gain on the disposition of these properties.

Financial Resources

As of June 30,Key Financial Metrics 2020 2019Cash and cash equivalents ($ Millions) $ 403.6 $ 178.6Long-term debt ($ Millions) $ 975.3 $ 833.6

Cash balances as of June30, 2020 totaled $403.6 million. Long-term debt consisted of approximately $493million in carrying value of 4.75% senior notes due in 2029, $297 million in carrying value of 5.625% senior notes due in 2027 and $238 million of term debt less $50 million of current maturities, which is reflected in current liabilities. The asset-based revolving facility (the "ABL") was undrawn and had a borrowing capacity of $168 million as of June30, 2020. We believe that our existing liquidity is sufficient for our near term needs and we did not seek government aid from Federal programs established by the CARES Act.

At June30, 2020, the Company had common shares outstanding of 29,177,631. The effective income tax rate for Q2 2020 was 24.3% compared to 24.5% in Q2 2019.

2020 Guidance Update

In the first quarter 2020 earnings release, management withdrew the Company's retail fuel volume guidance due to the ongoing pandemic and an inability at that date to project volume recovery for the remainder of 2020. Below is a table reflecting original and updated guidance figures, where applicable.

2020 2020 Original Updated Guidance Guidance Range RangeOrganic Growth New Stores up to 30 25 to 27Raze-and-Rebuilds up to 25 28 to 30Fuel Contribution Total fuel contribution (cpg) N/A 24 to 25Retail fuel volume per store (K gallons APSM) 250 to 255 217.5 to 222.5Fuel Breakeven Merchandise contribution ($ Millions) $430 to $455 to $435 $460Retail station OPEX excluding credit cards (APSM % Up 1-3% Up 1-3%YOY change)Corporate Costs SG&A ($ Millions per year) $150 to 155 $150 to 155Effective Tax Rate 24% to 26% 24% to 26%Capital Allocation Capital expenditures ($ Millions) $225 to $250 to $275 $275

Based on the gradual recoveries of volumes seen since the mid-April time frame the Company is now able to project an estimated full year year guidance of 217,500 to 222,500 average gallons per store month for our retail fuel volumes. Strong tobacco performance has led to higher overall merchandise margins than expected previously. Organic growth has experienced a slight shift but we still expect total combined store count to be near 55 for the full year. To reach those store counts and be prepared for future growth we expect to raise the low end of our capital expenditures range by $25 million. All of these guidance changes are predicated on continuing the slow ramp of fuel volumes that we have experienced since the middle of second quarter and that continues into July.

The Company has not recently provided a projected range of all-in fuel margin, Net Income, or Adjusted EBITDA. In the spirit of increased transparency consistent with the current health pandemic, the Company has decided to provide an expected full year total fuel contribution in cents per gallon. For modeling purposes only, if all-in fuel margins approximate 24.5 cpg, management would expect the business to generate Net Income of $383 million and Adjusted EBITDA of about $719 million for full year 2020 using the midpoint of the updated retail fuel volume guidance combined with the midpoint of the other original guidance metrics that have not changed since issuance.

Notes

Average Per Store Month (APSM) metric includes all stores open through the date of the calculation.

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 sites do not enter the calculation until they are open for each full calendar year for the periods being compared (open by January 1, 2019 for the sites being compared in the 2020 versus 2019 comparison). 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.

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

The following table sets forth the Companys EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June30, 2020 and 2019. 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, 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:

2020 Full Year Updated Guidance - GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation

An itemized reconciliation between updated projected Net Income and updated Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2020 along with the original 2020 guidance reconciliation are as follows:

For purposes of this reconciliation, the midpoint of a range for each reconciling item was used, and therefore actual results for each of these reconciling items is expected to be higher or lower than the amounts shown above. The size of the ranges varies based on the individual reconciling item and assumptions made.

The Company has not recently provided a projected range of all-in fuel margin, Net Income, or Adjusted EBITDA. In the spirit of increased transparency consistent with the current health pandemic, the Company has decided to provide an expected full year total fuel contribution in cents per gallon. For modeling purposes only, if all-in fuel margins approximate 24.5 cpg, management would expect the business to generate Net Income of $383 million and Adjusted EBITDA of about $719 million for full year 2020 using the midpoint of the updated retail fuel volume guidance combined with the midpoint of the other original guidance metrics that have not changed since issuance.
