- Merchandise contribution dollars for Q1 2024 increased 2.4% to $191.6 million on average unit margins of 19.2%, compared to Q1 2023 contribution dollars of $187.1 million on unit margins of 19.4%.

“First quarter results showed the resilience of Murphy USA’s core fuel and tobacco categories, as these remain non-discretionary purchases to a growing base of customers who continued to trade down for value and stocked up around severe weather events throughout the quarter,” said President and CEO Andrew Clyde. “Strong year-over-year and two-year fuel volume performance at comparable Q1 retail margins further demonstrate structural industry dynamics remain intact and favor Murphy USA in the most recent rising price and lower volatility environment. Our major innovation, growth and productivity initiatives remain on track, with results largely weighted to the second half of the year. As such, we continue to be well positioned to execute against our long-term value creation strategy.”

Retail fuel contribution dollars decreased $14.7 million, or 5.6%, to $250.0 million compared to Q1 2023 due to lower retail fuel margins partially offset by higher volumes sold. For Q1 2024, retail fuel margins were 21.7 cpg, a 6.5% decrease versus the prior-year quarter, and overall retail volumes were 1.0% higher in Q1 2024 compared to the prior-year quarter.

At March 31, 2024, the Company had common shares outstanding of 20,717,691. Common shares repurchased during the quarter were approximately 216.0 thousand shares for $86.9 million.

The effective income tax rate for Q1 2024 was 19.4% compared to 23.5% in Q1 2023. The Q1 2024 effective tax rate is lower due primarily to excess tax benefits on equity awards that vested during the quarter.

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 Q1 2024 covers the period December 30, 2023 to March 29, 2024. The QuickChek results for Q1 2023 covers the period December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023. The difference in the timing of the period ends is immaterial to the overall consolidated results.

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. 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, transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, 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:
