Reports Q1 revenue $2.297B vs $1.53B last year. Jonathan Pertchik, TA's Chief Executive Officer, made the following statement regarding the 2022 first quarter results: "TA's strong first quarter resulted in substantial improvement in net income and adjusted EBITDA over the prior year quarter demonstrating continued progress in executing our transformation plan and success in driving top line growth while keeping costs under control. Our fuel team successfully managed through a period of unprecedented volatility and uncertainty in the fuel supply markets, generating a 45.8% increase in fuel gross margin versus the prior year quarter. Nonfuel gross margin also increased 7.1% versus the prior year quarter, which benefited from strong performance in truck service and an increased number of re-opened full service restaurants. In addition, we have been making thoughtful pricing decisions to help largely offset rising costs caused from inflationary pressures in the market. We also continue investing in growth through our capital plan, with a focus on site refreshes, technology improvements and network expansion. The addition of company-owned sites to our network is one of our priorities for capital deployment this year. We acquired two locations in April and continue to evaluate additional opportunities. We have also completed half of approximately 100 planned site refreshes, with the balance expected to be completed by the end of 2022, which will provide an upgraded experience to our existing customers and likely attract new customers and guests to TA. We further believe our transformation plan, which includes growing our travel center network and improving our existing locations, is instrumental in driving our strong operating results."
