Casey's General Stores announced impressive first-quarter results, with total revenue climbing 24.3% to $5.68 billion. This growth was primarily fueled by higher retail prices for gasoline and a notable increase in inside sales.
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) experienced a substantial rise of 27.7%, reaching $7.37, while net income also saw a healthy increase of 27.1% compared to the same period last year.
The company's strategic focus on its convenience model contributed to a 3.2% rise in inside same-store sales. The prepared food and dispensed beverage category was a standout performer, driving much of this internal growth.
Despite temporary headwinds from remodeling legacy Cefco stores, which impacted same-store sales, Casey's maintained its positive outlook. The company reaffirmed its full-year guidance and anticipates continued store expansion and inside sales growth.
