The threat of climate change continues to attractsee in full comparisonconsiderableattention. In the United States, no comprehensive climate change legislation has been implemented at the federal level.However, while in office, President Biden made action on climate change a priority of his administration. For example, on August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the IRA which contains hundreds of billions of dollars in incentives for the development of renewable energy, clean fuels, electric vehicles and supporting infrastructure, and carbon capture and sequestration, among other provisions. Moreover, federal regulators and state and local governments have taken (or announced that they plan to take) actions that have or may have a significant influence on our operations. For example, following the finding that GHG emissions such as carbon dioxide and methane threaten the public health and welfare,Historically, the EPA haspromulgated oradoptedregulationsrulestothat,regulateamong other things, establish permit reviews for GHG emissions from certain large stationarysources,sources; require the monitoring and annual reporting of GHG emissions fromcertain sources, implement emissions standards for certainspecified sources in the United States; implement standards reducing emissions of methane, a form of GHG, from specified oil and gassector,sectors; and(together withNHTSA),the U.S. Department of Transportation, implement GHG emissions limits on vehicles manufactured for operation in the United States. In addition, it is possible federal legislation could be adopted in the future to restrict GHGs, as Congress has considered various proposals to reduce GHG emissions from time to time. Many states and regions have also adopted GHG initiatives.
Our operations involve the international purchase and resale of petroleum products and renewable fuels, and can be affected by import duties applicable to these products’ movement across borders. In addition, the products we sell in our convenience stores and the equipment and materials we utilize in our operations may also be similarly affected by import duties.see in full comparisonIn February 2025, the United States proposed imposing additional import duties of 10% on energy products from Canada, 25% on other products from Canada and Mexico and additional tariffs on products from China.

We are currently involved in twothree joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. We may not always be in complete alignment with our unaffiliated joint venture counterparties due to, for example, conflicting strategic objectives, change in control, change in market conditions or applicable laws, or other events. We may disagree on governance matters with respect to the respective joint venture or the jointly-owned assets and may be outvoted by our respective joint venture counterparty. Our joint venture arrangements may also require us to expend additional resources that could otherwise be directed to other areas of our business. As a result of such challenges, the anticipated benefits associated with our joint ventures may not be achieved and could negatively impact our results of operations.
Tariffs and other controls on imports and exports could significantly impact our operations and costs, adversely affecting our business.

Prices for certain products we sell have historically been volatile. General political conditions, acts of war or other conflicts such as the conflictsconflict in Ukraine and hostilities in the Middle East, terrorism and instability in oil producing regions, particularly in the United States, Canada, Middle East, Russia, Africa and South America, including Venezuela, could significantly impact crude oil supplies and crude oil and refined petroleum product costs. Significant increases and volatility in wholesale gasoline costs could result in significant increases in the retail price of motor fuel products and in lower margins per gallon. Increases in the retail price of motor fuel products could impact consumer demand for motor fuel. This volatility makes it extremely difficult to predict the impact future wholesale cost fluctuations will have on our operating results and financial condition. Dramatic increases in crude oil prices squeeze fuel margins because fuel costs typically increase faster than these increased costs can be passed along to customers. Higher fuel prices trigger higher credit card expenses, because credit card fees are calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount, not as a percentage of gallons sold. A significant change in any of these factors could materially impact our customers’ needs, motor fuel gallon volumes, gross profit and overall customer traffic, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution to our unitholders.
Our credit agreement and indentures limit our ability to pay distributions upon the occurrence of certain events. For example, our credit agreement and the indentures limitslimit our ability to pay distributions upon the occurrence of the following events, among others:
On July 21, 2010, new comprehensive financial reform legislation, known as theThe Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”), was enacted thatin establishes2010, established federal oversight and regulation of the over-the-counter derivatives market and entities, such as us, that participate in that market. The Act requires the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the SEC and other regulators to promulgate rules and regulations implementing the new legislation.
The CFTC has finalized rules that place limits on positions in certain core futures and equivalent swaps contracts for, or linked to, certain physical commodities, subject to exceptions for certain bona fide hedging transactions. We currently do not expect such rules will have a material impact on us. The CFTC has also adopted a final rule regarding aggregation of positions, under which a party that controls the trading of, or owns 10% or more of the equity interests in, another party will have to aggregate the positions of the controlled or owned party with its own positions for purposes of determining compliance with position limits unless an exemption applies. The CFTC’s aggregation rules are now in effect, though CFTC staff have granted relief—until August 12, 2025 or the effective date of any codifying rulemaking—from various conditions and requirements in the final aggregation rules. With the implementation of the final aggregation rules and upon the effectiveness of the final CFTC position limits rule, our ability to execute our hedging strategies described above could be limited.
Technological advances and alternative fuel sources, such as electric, hybrid, battery powered, hydrogen or other alternative fuel-powered motor vehicles, may adversely affect the demand for gasoline. We could face additional competition from alternative energy sources as a result of future government-mandated controls or regulations which promote the use of alternative fuel sources. A number of new legal incentives and regulatory requirements, and executive initiatives, including various government subsidies including the extension of certain tax credits for renewable energy, have made these alternative forms of energy more competitive. Changing consumer preferences or driving habits could lead to new forms of fueling destinations or potentially fewer customer visits to our sites, resulting in a decrease in gasoline sales and/or sales of food, sundries and other on-site services. In addition, higher prices, including as result of tariffs and other controls on imports or exports of goods, and inflation in general could reduce the demand for gasoline and the products and services we offer at our convenience stores and adversely impact our sales. A reduction in our sales could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution to our unitholders.
The bulk terminals we own or lease or at which we maintain dedicated storage facilities play a key role in moving product to our customers. AsWe ofown, Decemberlease 31,or 2024, we owned, operated and maintainedmaintain dedicated storage facilities at 47a bulknumber terminals and maintained dedicated storage at sevenof bulk terminals at which we have leases and terminalling agreements. These lease and terminalling agreements are subject to expiration at various times through 2028.2030. If these lease and terminalling agreements are not renewed or we are unable to renew them at rates and on terms and conditions satisfactory to us or we are otherwise unable to replace such dedicated storage as may be needed, it could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution to our unitholders.
Our operations are subject to federal, state and municipal laws and regulations regulating, among other matters, logistics activities, product quality specifications and other environmental matters. The trend in environmental regulation has been towards more restrictions and limitations on activities that may affect the environment over time. For example, while in office, President Biden signed an executive order calling for new or more stringent emissions standards for new, modified and existing oil and gas facilities, and the EPA has finalized rules to that effect,effect. although theseThese rules are subject to legal challenge.challenge, withdrawal, or repeal by the Trump administration, and enforcement of such rules under President Trump is subject to change. Our businesses may be adversely affected by increased costs and liabilities resulting from such stricter laws and regulations. We try to anticipate future regulatory requirements that might be imposed and plan accordingly to remain in compliance with changing environmental laws and regulations and to minimize the costs of such compliance. There can be no assurances as to the timing and type of such changes in existing laws or the promulgation of new laws or the amount of any required expenditures associated therewith.
The threat of climate change continues to attract considerable attention. In the United States, no comprehensive climate change legislation has been implemented at the federal level. However, while in office, President Biden made action on climate change a priority of his administration. For example, on August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the IRA which contains hundreds of billions of dollars in incentives for the development of renewable energy, clean fuels, electric vehicles and supporting infrastructure, and carbon capture and sequestration, among other provisions. Moreover, federal regulators and state and local governments have taken (or announced that they plan to take) actions that have or may have a significant influence on our operations. For example, following the finding that GHG emissions such as carbon dioxide and methane threaten the public health and welfare,Historically, the EPA has promulgated or adopted regulationsrules tothat, regulateamong other things, establish permit reviews for GHG emissions from certain large stationary sources,sources; require the monitoring and annual reporting of GHG emissions from certain sources, implement emissions standards for certainspecified sources in the United States; implement standards reducing emissions of methane, a form of GHG, from specified oil and gas sector,sectors; and (together with NHTSA),the U.S. Department of Transportation, implement GHG emissions limits on vehicles manufactured for operation in the United States. In addition, it is possible federal legislation could be adopted in the future to restrict GHGs, as Congress has considered various proposals to reduce GHG emissions from time to time. Many states and regions have also adopted GHG initiatives.
While these rules largely do not directly impact our operations, they do represent a concerted effort at the federal level to reduce emissions of GHGs in an effort to mitigate adverse effects associated with climate change.
Federal regulation of GHG emissions has been grounded in the EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding under the CAA, which supported regulation of GHG emissions from motor vehicles and engines. In February 2026, the EPA issued a final rule rescinding the 2009 Endangerment Finding and repealing GHG emission standards for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty motor vehicles and engines under Section 202(a)(1) of the CAA. The final rule states that the EPA has determined it lacks statutory authority under Section 202(a)(1) to regulate GHG emissions in response to global climate change concerns and becomes effective 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.
FutureThe rescission of the 2009 Endangerment Finding may affect the legal and regulatory framework supporting federal GHG regulation, and the ultimate scope and durability of federal GHG requirements remain subject to further regulatory action and judicial review. It is possible that future international, federalfederal, and state initiatives to control GHG emissions could result in increased costs associated with refined petroleum products consumption, such as costs to install additional controls to reduce GHG emissions or costs to purchase emissions reduction credits to comply with future emissions trading programs. Such increased costs could result in reduced demand for refined petroleum products and some customers switching to alternative sources of fuelfuel, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution to our unitholders.
Climate change continues to attract considerable public and scientific attention. This attention has also resulted in increased political risks, including climate change related pledges made by certain candidates forfor, or holders of, public office. These have included promises to curtail oil and gas operations on federal land, such as through the cessation of leasing federal land for hydrocarbon development. Other actions that could be pursued include more restrictive requirements for the development of midstream infrastructure. Additionally, litigation has been filed against companies in the energy industry related to climate change. Although the litigation is varied, many such suits allege that oil and gas companies have created public nuisances by producing fuels that contribute to climate change or allege that the companies have been aware of the adverse effects of climate change for some time but failed to adequately disclose those impacts to their investors and customers. Should such suits succeed, we could face additional costs or litigation risks.
1Increasing1Increased attention to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters may impact our business.
IncreasingIncreased attention to, and social expectations on, companies to address climate change and other environmental and social impacts, investor and societal explanations regarding voluntary ESG disclosures, and increased consumer demand for alternative forms of energy may result in increased costs, reduced demand for our products, reduced profits, increased investigations and litigation, and negative impacts on our unit price and access to capital markets. IncreasingIncreased attention to climate change and environmental conservation, for example, may result in demand shifts for our products and additional governmental investigations and private litigation against us. To the extent that societal pressures or political or other factors are involved, it is possible that such liability could be imposed without regard to our causation or contribution to the asserted damage, or other mitigating factors.
Additionally, we may receive pressure from investors, lenders, or other stakeholders to adopt more aggressive climate or other ESG-related goals or commitments, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to implement such goals because of potential costs or technical or operational obstacles. A failure or a perception of failure (whether or not valid) to pursue, implement or make progress against ESG strategies or achieve ESG goals or commitments, or as the result of reporting of various ESG metrics, strategies or risks and such disclosures are viewed critically, could result in governmental investigations or enforcement, private litigation and damage our reputation, cause our investors or consumers to lose confidence in us, and negatively impact our operations.
Additionally, we may receive pressure from investors, lenders, or other groups to adopt more aggressive climate or other ESG-related goals, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to implement such goals because of potential costs or technical or operational obstacles. In March 2024, the SEC released a final rule that establishes a framework for the reporting of climate risks, targets, and metrics. However, the future of the rule is uncertain at this time given its implementation has been stayed pending the outcome of legal challenges. Moreover, on February 11, 2025, SEC Acting Chairman Mark T. Uyeda requested that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit not schedule argument in such legal challenges while the SEC reconsiders the finalized rules. Although the SEC, under the new presidential administration, may seek to repeal or otherwise modify the rules, we cannot predict whether such action will occur or its timing. Relatedly, California has enacted new laws requiring additional disclosure with respect to certain climate-related risks and GHG emissions reduction claims. Non-compliance with these new laws may result in the imposition of substantial fines or penalties. Other states are considering similar laws. Any new laws or regulations imposing more stringent requirements on our business related to the disclosure of climate-related risks may result in reputation harms among certain stakeholders if they disagree with our approach to mitigating climate-related risks, increased compliance costs resulting from the development of any disclosures, and increased costs of and restrictions on access to capital to the extent we do not meet any climate-related expectations of requirements of financial institutions.
Relatedly,In addition, organizations that provide informationinformation, ratings or advisory services, to investors on corporate governance and related matters have developed ratings processes for evaluating companies on their approach to ESG matters. Such ratings or recommendations are used by some investors to inform their investment and voting decisions. Unfavorable ESG ratings or recommendations may lead to increased negative investor sentiment toward us or our customers and to the diversion of investment or other industries which could have a negative impact on our unit price and/ or our access to and costs of capital. Additionally, certain institutional lenders may decide not to provide funding or insurance for fossil fuel energy companies or the corresponding infrastructure projects based on climate change related concerns, which could affect our access to capital for potential growth projects. Moreover, to the extent ESG matters negatively impact our reputation, we may not be able to compete as effectively or recruit or retain employees, which may adversely affect our operations.
Finally, certain public statements with respect to certainsustainability matters, such as emissions reduction goals, other environmental targets, or other commitments addressing certain social issues, have been subject to heightened scrutiny from public and governmental authorities related to the risk of potential “greenwashing,” i.e., misleading information or false claims overstating potential benefits. CertainFederal and state regulators, as well as non-governmental organizations and other private actorsactors, have also filed lawsuits under various securities and consumer protection laws alleging that certain ESG-statements,ESG statements, goals, or standards were misleading, false, or otherwise deceptive. Any alleged claims of greenwashing against us or others in our industry may lead to increased litigation risks, further negative sentiment and diversion of investments. Additionally,Certain employment or business practices and social initiatives are the subject of scrutiny by both those calling for the continued advancement of such policies, as well as those who believe they should be curbed, including government actors, and the complex regulatory and legal frameworks applicable to such initiatives continue to evolve. More recent political developments could mean that we could face increasing criticism or litigation risks from certain “anti-ESG” parties. Consideration of ESG-related factors in our decision-making could be subject to increasing scrutiny and objection from such anti-ESG parties. We cannot be certain of the impact of such regulatory, legal and other developments on our business. Accordingly, there may be increased costs related to reviewing, implementing and managing such policies, as wewell attemptas to comply withcompliance and navigatelitigation regulatoryrisks focusbased andboth scrutiny.on positions we do or do not take, or work we do or do not perform.
Our operations involve the buying and selling, gathering and blending of refined petroleum products, gasoline blendstocks, renewable fuels and crude oil and shipping it to various markets including on railcars that we lease. The derailments of trains transporting such products in North America have caused various regulatory agencies and industry organizations, as well as federal, state and municipal governments, to focus attention on transportation by rail of flammablecertain materials. Additional measures have been taken in both the United States and Canada to regulate the transportation of these products. Please read Part I, Items 1. and 2. “Business and Properties—Regulation—Hazardous Materials Transportation.”
Terrorist activity could lead to increased volatility in prices for home heating oil, gasoline and other products we sell, which could decrease our customers’ demand for these products. Insurance carriers are required to offer coverage for terrorist activities as a result of federal legislation. We purchase this coverage with respect to our property and casualty insurance programs. ThisThe additionalcost of this coverage resulted in additional insurance premiums which could increase further in the future.
We depend on our operational and information technology systems, including information technology systems hosted, managed and controlled by third-party service providers, to manage numerous aspects of our businesses and to provide analytical information to management. Our operational and information technology systems are an essential component of our businesses and growth strategies, and a serious disruption to our operational and information technology systemssystems, including those of our third-party service providers, could significantly limit our ability to manage and operate our businesses effectively. These systems are vulnerable to, among other things, damage and interruption from power loss or natural disasters, computer system and network failures, loss of telecommunication services, physical and electronic loss of data, cybersecurity and other security breachesbreaches, computer viruses and computer viruses.malware. In addition, advances in computer capabilities, discoveries in the field of artificial intelligence, or other developments may result in a compromise or breach of the technology we use to safeguard our operational and information technology systems and confidential, personal, or otherwise protected information. As the breadth and complexity of the technologies we use continue to grow, including as a result of the use of mobile devices, cloud services, artificial intelligence, open-source software, social media and the increased reliance on devices connected to the internet, the potential risk of cyberattacks and cybersecurity incidents also increases. While we believe we have adequate systems and controls in place, we are continuously working to install new, and upgrade existing, operational and information technology systems and provide employee awareness around phishing, malware and other cybersecurity risks in an effort to ensure that we are protected against cybersecurity risks and security breaches. We have a disaster recovery plan in place, but this plan may not entirely prevent delays or other complications that could arise from an operational and information technology systems failure or disruption. Any failure or interruption in our operational and information technology systemssystems, or those of our third-party service providers, could have a negative impact on our operating results, cause our businesses and competitive position to suffer and damage our reputation.

As of February 21,20, 2025,2026, our general partner and affiliates of our general partner, including directors and executive officers and their affiliates, owned 19.1%12.7% of our common units and the entire general partner interest. Although our general partner has a fiduciary duty to manage us in a manner beneficial to us and our unitholders, the directors and officers of our general partner have a fiduciary duty to manage our general partner in a manner beneficial to its owners. Furthermore, certain directors and officers of our general partner are directors or officers of affiliates of our general partner. Conflicts of interest may arise between our general partner and its affiliates, on the one hand, and us and our unitholders, on the other hand. As a result of these conflicts, our general partner may favor its own interests and the interests of its affiliates over the interests of our unitholders. Please read “—Our partnership agreement limits our general partner’s fiduciary duties to unitholders and restricts the remedies available to unitholders for actions taken by our general partner that might otherwise constitute breaches of fiduciary duty.” These conflicts include, among others, the following situations:
Prior to making any distribution on the common units, we reimburse our general partner and its affiliates for all expenses they incur on our behalf, which is determined by our general partner in its sole discretion. These expenses include all costs incurred by the general partner and its affiliates in managing and operating us, including costs for rendering corporate staff and support services to us. We are managed and operated by directors and executive officers of our general partner. In addition, the majority of our operating personnel are employees of our general partner. Please read Part III, Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.” The reimbursement of expenses and payment of fees, if any, to our general partner and its affiliates could adversely affect our ability to pay cash distributions to our unitholders.
Mr. Richard Slifka and his affiliates (other than us) are subject to noncompetition provisions in the omnibus agreement and business opportunity agreement. In addition,While Mr. Eric Slifka’s employment agreement contains noncompetition provisions.provisions, Theseit agreements dodoes not prohibit Messrs. Richard Slifka and EricMr. Slifka and certain affiliates of our general partner from owning certain assets or engaging in certain businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. Please read Part III, Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Noncompetition.”
Our tax treatment depends on our status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not being subject to a material amount of entity-level taxation. If the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, were to treat us as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or we become subject to entity level taxation for state tax purposes, our cash available for distribution to our common unitholders would be substantially reduced.
Despite the fact that we are organized as a limited partnership under Delaware law, we wouldwill be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless we satisfy a “qualifying income” requirement. Based upon our current operations and current Treasury Regulations, we believe we satisfy the qualifying income requirement. However, no ruling has been or will be requested regarding our treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Failing to meet the qualifying income requirement or a change in current law could cause us to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject us to taxation as an entity.
If we were treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would pay U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate tax rate.rate, which is currently a maximum of 21%, and would likely pay state income tax at varying rates. Distributions to our unitholders would generally be taxed again as corporate distributions, and no income, gains, losseslosses, deductions or deductionscredits would flow through to our unitholders. Because a tax would be imposed upon us as a corporation, our cash available for distribution to our unitholders would be substantially reduced. Therefore, treatment of us as a corporation would result in a material reduction in the anticipated cash flow and after-tax return to our unitholders, likely causing a substantial reduction in the value of our common units.
Our partnership agreement provides that if a law is enacted or existing law is modified or interpreted in a manner that subjects us to taxation as a corporation or otherwise subjects us to additional amounts of entity level taxation for U.S. federal, state, municipal or foreign income tax purposes, the minimum quarterly distribution amount and the target distribution amounts may be adjusted to reflect the impact of that law or interpretation on us. At the state level, several states have been evaluating ways to subject partnerships to entity-level taxation through the imposition of state income, franchise or other forms of taxation. We currently own assets and conduct business in several states that impose a margin or franchise tax. In the future, we may expand our operations. Imposition of a similar tax on us in other jurisdictions that we may expand to could substantially reduce our cash available for distribution to our unitholders.
The present U.S. federal income tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships, including us, or an investment in our units, may be modified by administrative, legislative or judicial changes or differing interpretations thereof at any time. From time to time, members of Congress have proposed and considered substantive changes to the existing U.S. federal income tax laws that would affect publicly traded partnerships, including proposals that would eliminate our ability to qualify for partnership tax treatment. Recent proposals have provided for the expansion of the qualifying income exception for publicly traded partnerships in certain circumstances and other proposals have provided for the total elimination of the qualifying income exception upon which we rely for our partnership tax treatment. Further, while unitholders of publicly traded partnerships are, subject to certain limitations, entitled to a deduction equal to 20% of their allocable share of a publicly traded partnership’s “qualified business income,” this deduction is scheduled to expire with respect to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.
AsEven though we (as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) are not subject to U.S. federal income tax, some of Decemberour 31,operations 2024, weare conducted through subsidiaries that are organized as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We conduct substantially all of our operations of our end-user business through six subsidiaries that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These corporations primarily engage in the retail sale of gasoline and/or operate convenience stores and collect rents on personal property leased to dealers and commissioned agents at other stations. We may elect to conduct additional operations through these corporate subsidiaries in the future. These corporate subsidiaries are subject to corporate-level taxes, which reduce the cash available for distribution to us and, in turn, to our unitholders. If the IRS were to successfully assert that these corporations have more tax liability than we anticipate or legislation were enacted that increased the corporate tax rate, our cash available for distribution to our unitholders would be further reduced. The income tax return filing positions taken by these corporate subsidiaries may require judgment, use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Despite our belief that the income tax return positions taken by these subsidiaries are fully supportable, certain positions may be successfully challenged by the IRS, state or local jurisdictions.
We currently own assets and conduct business in several states, some of which impose a personal income tax on individuals, corporations and other entities. As we make acquisitions or expand our businesses, we may own assets or conduct business in additional states that impose a personal income tax. It is our unitholders’ responsibility to file all U.S. federal, state, municipal and non-U.S. tax returns and pay any taxes due in these jurisdictions. Unitholders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the filing of such tax returns, the payment of such taxes, and the deductibility of any taxes paid.
Although we expect that much of the income we earn is generally eligible for the 20% deduction for qualified publicly-traded partnership income for taxable years beginning before December 31, 2025,income, the Treasury Regulations provide that income attributable to a guaranteed payment for the use of capital is not eligible for the 20% deduction for qualified business income. As a result, income attributable to a guaranteed payment for use of capital recognized by holders of our preferred units is not eligible for the 20% deduction for qualified business income.

Our operations require investments to maintain, expand, upgrade and enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. We categorize our capital requirements as either maintenance capital expenditures or expansion capital expenditures. Maintenance capital expenditures represent capital expenditures to repair or replace partially or fully depreciated assets to maintain the operating capacity of, or revenues generated by, existing assets and extend their useful lives. Maintenance capital expenditures also include expenditures required to maintain equipment reliability, tank and pipeline integrity and safety and to address certain environmental regulations. We anticipate that maintenance capital expenditures will be funded with cash generated by operations. We had approximately $46.9$54.0 million and $60.8$46.9 million in maintenance capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively, which are included in capital expenditures in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows, of which approximately$38.9 million and $36.7 million and $52.9 million for 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively, are related to our investments in our gasoline station business. Repair and maintenance expenses associated with existing assets that are minor in nature and do not extend the useful life of existing assets are charged to operating expenses as incurred.
Expansion capital expenditures include expenditures to acquire assets to grow our businesses or expand our existing facilities, such as projects that increase our operating capacity or revenues by, for example, increasing dock capacity and tankage, diversifying product availability, investing in raze and rebuilds and new-to-industry gasoline stations and convenience stores, increasing storage flexibility at various terminals and by adding terminals to our storage network. We have the ability to fund our expansion capital expenditures through cash from operations or our credit agreement or by issuing debt securities or additional equity. We had approximately $56.4$37.5 million and $28.0$56.4 million in expansion capital expenditures, excluding acquired property and equipment, for the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively, primarily related to investments in our gasoline station and terminal businesses.

Our operations require investments to maintain, expand, upgrade and enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. We categorize our capital requirements as either maintenance capital expenditures or expansion capital expenditures. Maintenance capital expenditures represent capital expenditures to repair or replace partially or fully depreciated assets to maintain the operating capacity of, or revenues generated by, existing assets and extend their useful lives.

Expansion capital expenditures include expenditures to acquire assets to grow our businesses or expand our existing facilities, such as projects that increase our operating capacity or revenues by, for example, increasing dock capacity and tankage, diversifying product availability, investing in raze and rebuilds and new-to-industry gasoline stations and convenience stores, increasing storage flexibility at various terminals and by adding terminals to our storage network. We have the ability to fund our expansion capital expenditures through cash from operations or our credit agreement or by issuing debt securities or additional equity.
