The parts that mattered.
Pulled out of the filing itself, with the figures the company reported.
- Revenue and EPS Beat Estimates
- Revenue was $5.678 billion and diluted EPS was $7.37 for the quarter, versus consensus estimates of $5.574 billion and $6.77, respectively.

- Fiscal 2027 Outlook Maintained
- Management maintained its fiscal 2027 targets of 8%-10% EBITDA growth and at least 120 store openings.
- Controls Remained Effective
- Disclosure controls were concluded to be effective as of the quarter-end, and the filing reported no changes in internal controls that materially affected or were reasonably likely to materially affect them.
And the other side of it.
The offsets in the same document — the things a summary that only listed the good news would have left out.
- Floating-Rate Debt Sensitivity
- Based on term-loan balances as of July 31, 2026, an immediate 100-basis-point interest-rate move would affect annualized interest expense by approximately $9.7 million.
- Fuel Price Exposure
- The company remains exposed to fuel-price volatility for non-store inventoried fuel and uses futures contracts to hedge fuel held in pipelines and terminals; derivative contracts were immaterial as of July 31, 2026.
- Ongoing Buyback Commitment
- The company repurchased $45.6 million of stock during the quarter, while $972.6 million remained available under the program, creating an ongoing capital-allocation commitment that can be suspended or discontinued based on market conditions, debt agreements, and business opportunities.
