Total revenues rose to $8.1bn, up from $7.2bn last year, although a rise in petrol sales delivered much of the growth. Comparable-store merchandise revenue increased 0.2%.
Interim CEO Edwin Holman said: “Fiscal 2012 represents an important transitional period for the company, as we focus on a pricing strategy that is intended to improve merchandise sales growth and align our gasoline volume with industry trends. We are encouraged by the $231.7m of adjusted EBITDA and $178.7m of net cash from operations in fiscal 2011, which allows us the flexibility to manage for the longer term.”
The results for the fourth-quarter showed net income was $3.3m, down from $8.5m for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $64.4m, compared to $66.8m a year ago. Sales rose 11.5% to $2.1bn.
