1. Dealerization Program Execution Risk
   ARKO's strategy to convert company-operated retail stores to wholesale dealer sites, while intended to reduce expenses and improve margins, carries significant execution risks. This program has led to declining total revenue and merchandise contributions, and investors have expressed anxiety regarding the pace at which financial gains are materializing. Challenges include the potential loss of direct control over the customer experience and the risk of dealer onboarding failures impacting profitability.
2. Fuel Price Volatility and Declining Fuel Volumes
   The company's profitability remains highly exposed to the unpredictable swings in wholesale fuel prices, given that fuel is a core part of its business. Furthermore, ARKO has experienced persistent declines in same-store fuel gallon sales, which can undermine both top-line revenue and earnings growth. The broader trend of slowing gasoline demand poses a fundamental challenge to this primary revenue stream.
3. Economic Conditions, Consumer Spending, and Competitive Pressures
   ARKO is susceptible to broader economic and market risks, including changes in economic conditions, inflationary pressures, and shifts in consumer confidence and spending patterns, all of which can reduce demand for fuel and other products. The convenience store industry is highly competitive and fragmented, leading to challenges such as negative same-store merchandise sales trends for ARKO in an environment where some competitors are reporting growth.

• Shift to Electric Vehicles (EVs): The growing adoption of electric vehicles directly threatens ARKO's core business model, which heavily relies on gasoline sales and distribution. As EV market share increases, the demand for traditional fuel will decline, impacting both retail fuel sales at ARKO's convenience stores and its wholesale fuel supply operations.
• Rise of Quick Commerce and E-commerce for Convenience Store Items: The increasing availability and popularity of rapid delivery services and online platforms for convenience store products (often via partnerships or dedicated quick commerce companies) pose a threat to ARKO's in-store merchandise sales. This trend could divert customer foot traffic and impulse purchases away from physical convenience store locations.

Here are 4 expected drivers of future revenue growth for ARKO:

1. Dealerization Strategy: ARKO is actively converting company-operated retail stores into dealer-run locations. This strategy is anticipated to generate over $20 million in annualized operating income benefits and at least $10 million in recurring structural general and administrative savings, by optimizing its revenue and cost structure. As of Q3 2025, approximately 350 stores have been converted since 2024, with commitments for an additional 185 sites, contributing to strong wholesale gallon growth and margin benefits.
2. Growth of the Fas REWARDS Loyalty Program: The company's fas REWARDS loyalty program is a significant driver of customer engagement and repeat business. The program experienced robust growth, with a 37% increase in average daily enrollment in Q3 2025, reaching approximately 2.4 million members. Enrolled customers demonstrate higher spending patterns, spending approximately $110 per month or 53% more compared to non-members, which is expected to boost overall merchandise sales.
3. Expansion and Optimization of the Wholesale and Fleet Fueling Segments: ARKO's wholesale segment has shown solid growth, with operating income increasing and a 7.5% rise in gallons in Q3 2025. This growth is driven by ongoing channel optimization efforts and dealer conversions. Additionally, the company plans to introduce new "cardlock" locations for fleet fueling in 2026, aiming to capitalize on the attractive recurring cash flow profile of this business.
4. Store Remodels and Enhanced In-Store Offerings: ARKO is investing in store remodels with a focus on enhancing merchandise and foodservice offerings to attract more shoppers and increase non-fuel revenue. Merchandise margins are improving, partly due to effective promotions and strong vendor support, with a notable increase in the same-store merchandise margin rate by approximately 60 basis points compared to the previous year. There is also a specific focus on driving growth in "Other Tobacco Products (OTP)" with a 16% basket growth and 6.6% same-store sales increase year-over-year in Q3 2025.
