During the fourth-quarter 2025 earnings call, President and CEO Eric Slifka said the company’s GDSO segment delivered solid results. He explained that stronger fuel margins helped offset weaker volumes and a smaller contribution from station operations. That decline partly reflected site optimization efforts. Slifka noted that the business benefits from a diversified structure. The company operates supply terminals, wholesale distribution, bunkering, and retail locations. In his view, those multiple revenue streams help stabilize performance across different market cycles.

Slifka also said the board approved a quarterly cash distribution of $0.76 per common unit. He pointed out that the increase marked the company’s 17th consecutive quarterly increase. The distribution was paid on February 13 to unitholders of record as of February 9.

Chief Financial Officer Gregory Hanson reviewed the company’s financial results for the quarter. He said adjusted EBITDA totaled $94.8 million, compared with $97.8 million in the same period a year earlier. Net income reached $25.1 million, slightly above the $23.9 million reported in the prior-year quarter. Hanson added that distributable cash flow came in at $38.4 million for the quarter, down from $45.7 million a year earlier. Adjusted distributable cash flow totaled $38.8 million, compared with $46.1 million in the previous year’s quarter.

Eric Slifka operates as an integrated owner, supplier, and operator of liquid energy terminals, fueling locations, and retail sites.
