Global Partners LP

Good day everyone, and welcome to the Global Partners Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. Today's call is being recorded. With us from Global Partners are President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Eric Slifka, Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Gregory Hanson, Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Mark Romaine, and Chief Legal Officer, Ms. Kristin Seabrook. At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Ms. Seabrook for opening remarks. Please go ahead.

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Today's call will include forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal security laws, including projections and expectations concerning the future financial and operational performance of global partners. No assurances can be given that these projections will be attained or that these expectations will be met. Our assumptions and future performance are subject to a wide range of business risks, uncertainties, and factors, including supply and demand, which could cause actual results to differ materially as described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Global Partners undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements. Now it's my pleasure to turn the call over to our President and Chief Executive Officer, Eric Slifka. Eric?

Thank you Kristin and good morning everyone. We delivered a strong second quarter with each of our operating segments contributing meaningfully and our teams executing at a high level across business. These results underscore the strength of Global's integrated liquid energy platform and the advantage of operating across products, markets, and customers. That diversification is a competitive strength and allows us to capture value across changing market conditions and generate attractive returns. During the quarter, our gasoline distribution station operations segment benefited from improved fuel margins, while our wholesale and commercial segment also delivered positive year-over-year growth. These results reinforce the resiliency of our model and the value of maintaining a portfolio of assets that can perform across a variety of operating environments. At the core of our business is predictable, delivering steady cash flow regardless of the market. On top of that foundation is our ability to capture additional value when markets are dynamic, and we pursue that upside within a disciplined framework that manages our exposure as conditions shift. Against that backdrop, refined product markets remain volatile with geopolitical developments contributing to elevated price swings, increased inventory risk, and tight inventory levels. Turning briefly to our distribution, last month our board approved a quarterly cash distribution of $0.78 per common unit, or $3.12 on an annualized basis. The distribution will be paid on August 14th to unit holders of record as of August 12th. Now let me turn the call over to Greg for the financial review. Greg?
