Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and floating rate long-term debt obligations. We place our investments with high-quality credit issuers and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. Our first priority is to reduce the risk of principal loss. Consequently, we seek to preserve our invested funds by attempting to limit default risk, market risk, and reinvestment risk. We attempt to mitigate default risk by investing in only high-quality credit securities that we believe to be low risk and by positioning our portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. We utilize an interest rate swap to manage exposure to fluctuations in variable interest rates on certain of our outstanding debt instruments. While the interest rate swap is not designated as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes, the Company does not enter into interest rate swap agreements for trading or speculative purposes. The impact of the interest rate swap was immaterial to the financial statements as of July 31, 2026 and for the period then ended. Based upon the outstanding balance of the Company's term loan facilities as of July 31, 2026, an immediate 100-basis-point move in interest rates would have an approximate annualized impact of $9.7 million on interest expense.
The Company also has exposure to market risks related to the volatility of fuel prices associated with non-store inventoried fuel (fuel pipeline and fuel terminal). The Company utilizes futures contracts to economically hedge the physical products while the bulk fuel is in storage at various terminals and pipelines, until such time the underlying gallons can be delivered to the store or customer. The Company does not speculate in trading financial instruments. All hedges must be matched against recorded physical transactions, inventoried fuel in a pipeline or at a terminal. Derivative contracts outstanding were immaterial to the financial statements as of July 31, 2026 and for the period then ended.
We do from time to time, participate in a forward buy of certain commodities. These are not accounted for as derivatives under the normal purchase and sale exclusions under the applicable accounting guidance.
Item 4. . Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 240.13a-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

On, and effective as of, March 3, 2022, the Board authorized a share repurchase program, whereby the Company was authorized to repurchase its outstanding common stock from time-to-time, for an aggregate amount of up to $400 million, exclusive of fees, commissions, excise taxes, or other costs (the "Original Repurchase Program"). On, and effective as of, June 4, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized an expansion of the Original Repurchase Program to a total aggregate amount of up to $1.0 billion exclusive of fees, commissions, excise taxes, or other costs (the "Expanded Repurchase Program"). The Expanded Repurchase Program has no set expiration date. The timing and number of repurchase transactions under the Expanded Repurchase Program depends on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, corporate considerations, business opportunities, debt agreements, and regulatory requirements. The Expanded Repurchase Program can be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the first quarter, we repurchased and retired 54,647 shares of our common stock under the share repurchase programs for a total of $45.6 million, excluding fees, commissions, excise taxes, and other costs. As of July 31, 2026, $972.6 million remained available thereunder.
