Total inside gross profit increased 10.5% to $643.4 million compared to the prior year. Fuel same-store gallons were up 1.5% compared to the prior year with a fuel margin of 46.9 cents per gallon. Total fuel gross profit increased 29.1% to $397.4 million compared to the prior year.

Fiscal Year 2026 Key Highlights Diluted EPS of $19.16 up 30.9% over the prior year. Net income was $714.4 million, up 30.7%, and EBITDA was nearly $1.5 billion, up 23.6%, from the prior year. Casey's was added to the S&P 500 Index in recognition of its consistent financial performance and the growth of the company. Casey's Rewards grew to nearly 10.5 million members by year-end. Casey's expanded its sauced wings program to nearly 850 stores as of April 30th. “Casey's delivered another record fiscal year as our team closed out the three-year strategic plan on an extremely high note, reaching $714 million of net income and nearly $1.5 billion in EBITDA," said Darren Rebelez, President and CEO. “Inside same-store sales for the year were extremely strong, up 4.2%, or 7.0% on a two-year stack basis, led by strong performance in prepared foods and non-alcoholic beverages. Our fuel team did a great job balancing gallons sold with fuel margin, as fiscal 2026 fuel gross profit increased 21% from the prior year. The operations team performed exceptionally well over the course of the year as we reported substantial EBITDA growth while same-store labor hours were slightly favorable for the year.” Earnings   Three Months Ended April 30,   Twelve Months Ended April 30,   2026   2025   2026   2025 Net income (in thousands) $ 162,684   $ 98,307   $ 714,448   $ 546,520 Diluted earnings per share $ 4.37   $ 2.63   $ 19.16   $ 14.64 EBITDA (in thousands) $ 350,334   $ 263,017   $ 1,483,615   $ 1,200,047 Fourth quarter net income, diluted EPS, and EBITDA increased compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher inside and fuel gross profit partially offset by higher operating expenses. _____________ 1 EBITDA is reconciled to net income below.

Inside same-store sales were up 5.5%, or 7.4% on a two-year stack basis, driven by strong performance in whole pizzas as well as appetizers and sides in the prepared food and dispensed beverage category in addition to non-alcoholic beverages in the grocery and general merchandise category. Inside margin was up approximately 120 basis points versus the prior year as cost of goods management, improved waste and mix shift were the primary drivers.

The Company's total fuel gross profit was up 29.1% versus the prior year, due to an increase in gallons sold as well as fuel margin. The Company generated $15.2 million in renewable fuel credits (RINs) in the quarter, an increase of $10.8 million from the same period last year.

Operating 40 more stores than the prior year accounted for approximately 2% of the increase. Same-store employee expense accounted for approximately 1.5% of the increase, due to increases in labor rates, as same-store labor hours were approximately flat. Approximately 4% of the change is related to an increase in accrued costs for variable compensation due to strong financial performance as well as discretionary charitable contributions.

On June 4, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized an expansion of its existing share repurchase program up to a total amount of $1 billion. The number and timing of shares to be repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, corporate considerations, business opportunities, debt agreements, and regulatory requirements.

EBITDA is not considered to be a GAAP measure, and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities or other income or cash flow statement data. This measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. We believe EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities, and it is regularly used by the Company for internal purposes including our capital budgeting process, evaluating acquisition targets, assessing performance, and awarding incentive compensation. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, EBITDA, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. It therefore may not be possible to compare our use of this non-GAAP financial measure with those used by other companies. The following table contains a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025: (In thousands) Three Months Ended April 30,   Twelve Months Ended April 30,     2026     2025     2026     2025 Net income $ 162,684   $ 98,307   $ 714,448   $ 546,520 Interest, net   21,713     27,916     96,634     83,951 Federal and state income taxes   50,442     29,351     222,575     165,929 Depreciation and amortization   115,495     107,443     449,958     403,647 EBITDA $ 350,334   $ 263,017   $ 1,483,615   $ 1,200,047 NOTES: Gross Profit is defined as revenue less cost of goods sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) Inside is defined as the combination of grocery and general merchandise and prepared food and dispensed beverage This release contains statements that may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including those related to expectations for future periods, possible or assumed future results of operations, financial conditions, liquidity and related sources or needs, business and/or integration strategies, plans and synergies, supply chain, growth opportunities, and performance at our stores.

Mr. Sutula graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in Finance & Management and holds an MBA in Finance from Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business.

Operating expenses increased 4.1% during the third quarter. The total operating expense comparison benefitted from $13 million in one-time deal and integration costs that were incurred in the prior year, related to the acquisition of Fikes. Operating 31 more stores than prior year accounted for approximately 1% of the increase. Same-store employee expense contributed to approximately 1.5% of the increase, due to increases in labor rates, partially offset by a reduction in same-store labor hours. Snow removal due to unfavorable weather contributed approximately 1% of the increase. Approximately 1.5% of the change is related to an increase in accrued costs for variable incentive compensation and charitable contributions.

RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO EBITDA


We define EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not considered to be a GAAP measure, and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities or other income or cash flow statement data. This measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.


We believe EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use this calculation as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities, and it is regularly used by management for internal purposes including our capital budgeting process, evaluating acquisition targets, assessing performance, and awarding incentive compensation.


Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, EBITDA, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. It therefore may not be possible to compare our use of this non-GAAP financial measure with those used by other companies.


The following table contains a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025:
