FINANCIAL

HIGHLIGHTS

REVENUE & GROSS PROFIT

• Revenue includes road transportation fuel

revenues which is the dollar amount of sales

• Revenue can therefore change with

movements in the average selling price of

road transportation fuel

• In fiscal 2015, road transportation fuel

revenue represented about :

57% of total revenue in Canada

73% of total revenue in the US, and

71% of total revenue in Europe

• Yet, road transportation fuel gross margins

represented only about 40% of Couche-Tard’s

overall gross profit

• Gross profit represents our income after cost

of sales

LTM financial results at January 31, 2016, (including The Pantry Pro Forma).

Gross Profit is the more accurate reflection of our business operations

21

FUEL GROSS MARGIN VS AVERAGE SELLING PRICE

• No clear correlation between fuel selling price

and margins;

• Our margins are not directly impacted by

lower fuel selling prices;

• Lower fuel prices leave customers more

money in their pockets for their in-store

shopping.
