Murphy USA Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results
EL DORADO, Ark.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–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 June 30, 2024.
Key Highlights:
- Net income was $144.8 million, or $6.92 per diluted share, in Q2 2024 compared to net income of $132.8 million, or $6.02 per diluted share, in Q2 2023.
- Total fuel contribution for Q2 2024 was 31.7 cpg, compared to 29.5 cpg in Q2 2023.
- Total retail gallons decreased 0.6% in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023, while volumes on a same store sales (“SSS”) basis declined 1.3% in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023.
- Merchandise contribution dollars for Q2 2024 increased 4.7% to $216.5 million on average unit margins of 20.0%, compared to Q2 2023 contribution dollars of $206.8 million on unit margins of 19.7%.
- During Q2 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 238.4 thousand common shares for $107.1 million at an average price of $449.30 per share.
- The Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.44 per share, or $1.76 per share on an annualized basis, on June 3, 2024, a 4.8% increase from March of 2024, for a total cash payment of $9.1 million.
“Murphy USA’s advantaged business model delivered strong second quarter results led by continued outperformance in the core non-discretionary fuel and tobacco categories,” said President and CEO Andrew Clyde. “Record second quarter retail fuel contribution dollars helped make up for a slow start in the first quarter and clearly demonstrated that structural margin dynamics remain intact, despite limited volatility versus prior years. Nicotine continues to gain share, while center-of-store results remain mixed, particularly in the Northeast where inflation and other drivers are impacting traffic at QuickChek, more than offsetting the benefits of our initiatives to drive further value in the business. Given these trends remain below our high expectations into the third quarter, we are revising our full-year merchandise margin guidance. Despite these headwinds, customer spend on non-discretionary categories remains robust in our core footprint, creating sustainable value as our NTI activity accelerates in the second half of 2024 and into 2025.”

Total fuel contribution dollars of $390.3 million increased $24.5 million, or 6.7%, in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023 due to higher margins partially offset by lower retail volumes sold during the period. Retail fuel contribution dollars increased $30.5 million, or 9.1%, to $365.2 million compared to Q2 2023 due to higher retail fuel margins partially offset by lower volumes sold. For Q2 2024, retail fuel margins were 29.7 cpg, a 10.0% increase versus the prior-year quarter, and overall retail volumes were 0.6% lower in Q2 2024 compared to the prior-year quarter. PS&W contribution including RINs decreased $6.0 million when compared to Q2 2023, primarily due to a regional supply imbalance that offset improved spot-to-rack spreads seen in other regions.

2024 Guidance Update
Concurrent with the earnings release, the Company is also updating our full-year merchandise contribution results to a range of $830 million to $840 million, down from the original guided range of $860 million to $880 million. While nicotine results have been stronger than planned in 2024, we have experienced weaker than expected consumer demand, particularly in the Northeast, that has impacted both core food and beverage traffic drivers and related discretionary center-of-store sales. We expect the lower demand to persist through the remainder of 2024 and mostly offset the benefits from some of our back-half weighted initiatives
In addition, we are revising our guidance for raze-and-rebuild sites to more than 40, up from the originally guided range of 35 to 40, due primarily to the successful efforts of our team to pull forward some future projects into the current year.
All other previously issued guidance metrics remain unchanged. More details on the guidance updates will be shared in the earnings conference call noted below.
Earnings Call Information
The Company will host a conference call on August 1, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time to discuss second quarter 2024 results. The conference call number is 1 (888) 330-2384 and the conference ID number is 6680883. The earnings and investor related materials, including reconciliations of any non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures and any other applicable disclosures, will be available on that same day on the investor section of the Murphy USA website (http://ir.corporate.murphyusa.com). Approximately one hour after the conclusion of the conference, the webcast will be available for replay. Shortly thereafter, a transcript will be available.

Notes
Average Per Store Month (APSM) metric includes all stores open through the date of the calculation, including stores acquired during the period.
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 stores do not enter the calculation until they are open for each full calendar year for the periods being compared (open by January 1, 2023 for the stores being compared in the 2024 versus 2023 comparison). Acquired stores are not included in the calculation of same store sales for the first 12 months after the acquisition. 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.
QuickChek uses a weekly retail calendar where each quarter has 13 weeks. The QuickChek results for Q2 2024 covers the period March 30, 2024 to June 28, 2024 and for the 2024 year-to-date period December 30, 2023 to June 28, 2024. The QuickChek results for Q2 2023 covers the period April 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 and the 2023 year-to-date period December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The difference in the timing of the period ends is immaterial to the overall consolidated results.
