Private Label

Lower margin item, but crucial traffic driver Pricing driven by taxes in respective states Despite challenging regulatory environment, industry-

wide volume declines are mitigated as convenience stores gain share due to decisions by some retail channels to exit the category

Cigarettes represent 34.5% of merchandise sales when adjusted for the national state average excise taxes

Key focus area is currently slightly below industry average and represents a high margin opportunity

Coffee offering is key traffic driver “Chill Zone” (frozen / fountain beverage) Sandwich cases and fresh food / fresh bakery offering Opened Culinary Center in 2014 in order to supply

stores with fresh sandwiches, pizza and other fresh packaged products

Represents 10% of in-store sales Strong heritage in dairy products create logical and

Foodservice and Private Label Growth

Private Label Foodservice Cumberland Farms has been driving higher margin foodservice

sales (fountain drinks, coffee, frozen drinks and sandwiches)

Coffee, one of the more popular offerings, is 7.1% of total merchandise sales as of March 31, 2018

Foodservice and dispensed beverage sales in AIM stores represent 21.8% of total merchandise sales vs. 9.9% in legacy stores

Cumberland has significantly closed the gap with NACS Top Quartile over the past few years as AIM store count increases

In fiscal 2007, foodservice comprised only 6.5% of merchandise sales in legacy stores

Private label products represent 10% of in-store sales

Marketed under the Cumberland Farms, Farmhouse and Farmhouse Premium brands

Base private label offering includes dairy products and other “everyday essentials” such as bread, water, sandwiches, juice, soda and chips

Farmhouse brand has expanded to candy and salty and sweet snacks –also markets hot, iced and take-home coffee products

Private label products are a key driver of margins and enhance the overall in-store customer experience and brand strength

Above average penetration compared to national brands within competing product categories

Continued focus on developing more differentiated and unique premium quality and priced products

Merchandise Distribution & Supply

Competitive Advantage of a Closed-Loop System vs. Outsourced Model

Distribution and Supply Overview

Controlled number of stock keeping units (“SKUs”) at warehouse increases inventory turns

Increases freshness of inventory at store level Stores receive multiple

deliveries per week

Vendor consolidation (ice cream, dairy, perishables, bakery, foodservice, private label) provides fewer deliveries to each individual store

Increases speed-to-market on new items or product changes

Provides clear line of sight to total delivered cost of goods

Self-distribute three-fourths of merchandise (excluding motor fuel) through Westborough, MA warehouse and distribution facility

560,000 sq. ft. facility on 4.1 million sq. ft. of land with commissary and freezer capabilities

Fleet of leased and owned trucks supplies 500+ convenience stores and provides improved inventory management

Distribution service agreement with wholesale distributor; primary distributor of food products and convenience merchandise to Florida stores

Distribution center in the Northeast supplies this wholesale distributor weekly with foodservice and private label products

Remaining one-fourth of the merchandise is delivered via direct store delivery (e.g. Coca-Cola, Pepsi / Frito Lay and beer)

Fuel Sales Overview

Fuel represents 68% of revenues and 42% of gross profit

Cumberland Farms established its SmartPay program in 2013 to provide greater savings for customers and promote brand loyalty

Payment program allows customers to save $0.10 on every gallon of fuel purchased and receive rewards for every 50 gallons of fuel purchased

Fuel breakdown as a percentage of FY2017 gallons:

Unleaded: 85%

Unleaded Plus: 5%

Super Unleaded: 7%

Diesel: 3%

Cumberland Farms was rated the nation’s favorite fueling station in a study by Market Force in May 2018

CFI convenience stores and fuel stations are generally situated on well-traveled thoroughfares or other easily accessible sites in the Northeast and Florida

Population density, employment and personal income data are very favorable in the Northeast as compared to other regions of the U.S. (1)

Northeast has second fewest number of convenience stores per capita in the U.S. (1)

Lack of developable land combined with the regulatory and permitting considerations for fuel stations limit the threat of competition from new entrants

SmartPay Roadmap

Mobile Strategy & EnhancementsGiven our strong performance to date with SmartPay, leveraging the current platform as the foundation for future innovations is critical to our mobile strategy

A 12-month roadmap was designed to enhance the mobile offering and meet changing customer needs

Consumer Needs &

Expectations

Cumberland Farms

Strategy

Technology / Digital Trends

SmartPay Roadmap

Mobile CheckoutWith increasing consumer interest in mobile scan & pay, functionality was added to our existing platform to deliver an accelerated experience for the coffee drinker

• Customer is able to select their desired item, add to their mobile cart, purchase, and leave the store without interacting with an associate or waiting in a queue

• During the first three weeks of the soft launch, the usage increased by 2.8x amongst the 68% of users who shopped the brand for 3+ years

• 83% of participants reported an “excellent experience” with the functionality, citing speed as the main driver of rating

SmartPay Roadmap

Additional Planned EnhancementsEnhancements for May 2019 launch are designed to accomplish three critical goals, positioning the mobile platform as a key strategic benefit and differentiator for the brand

Lower the Barrier to Entry

• Additional Payment Options: Expanding beyond ACH with credit, debit, Venmo, PayPal

• Integration with mobile banking to expedite the enrollment process for ACH accounts

Drive Transactions

• Exclusive pricing and offers

• Mobile checkout to drive peak daypart coffee purchases

• Sub-accounts: allow user to set up an account for another individual from the same funding source (children, spouse, etc.)

Enhance Speed

• Integrated barcode: applies selected coupons and payment method into a single register-scan

• Mobile checkout to drive peak daypart coffee purchases without register interaction

Future Considerations & Functionality: mobile order ahead, delivery, curbside / at pump pick up

Growth Strategy

Multi-Pronged Growth Strategy

Utilizing AIM Concept stores to grow sales (APSW) and increase store productivity

Aggressively managing general & administrative expenses to enhance productivity and streamline business model

Cumberland Farms began investing in AIM stores in 2009 and has rapidly increased the AIM site count since then to 384 AIM stores

Multi-year initiative features an expanded focus on foodservice and an enhanced in-store experience through re-imaging and improved brand management

AIM stores are outperforming their legacy counterparts in all of the major merchandise categories and have also seen improved loyalty among customers

The investment in AIM stores has been financed with internal cash flow from operations, the proceeds from the sale of stores in non-strategic locations and minimal debt
