TIME & CONVENIENCE

Shoppers recognize the c-store channel of trade for its convenient locations, extended hours of operations, one-stop shopping, grab- and-go foodservice, variety of merchandise and fast transactions Industry offers speed of service to time-starved consumers who want to get in and out of the store quickly Addresses consumer desires to satisfy and immediate need for food, refreshment and fuel 83% of the in-store merchandise that convenience stores sell is consumed within one hour of purchase, and 65% is immediately consumed

US C-STORE INDUSTRY FACTS

Convenience stores have an unmatched speed of transaction: The average time it takes a customer to walk in, purchase an item and depart is between 3 to 4 minutes Convenience stores are everywhere. There are 155 thousand convenience stores in the United States—or one store for about every 2,100 people— and c-stores account for more than one-third (34.1%) of all outlets in the United States. The convenience store industry is a destination for food and refreshments An average convenience store selling fuel has around 1,100 customers per day, or more than 400,000 per year. Cumulatively, the U.S. convenience store industry alone serves nearly 160 million customers per day, and 58 billion customers every year. The convenience store industry is America's primary source for fuel - Self-serve at the pump is a part of most convenience stores' fueling operations

38

slide-39
SLIDE 39

A GRADUAL AND MANAGEABLE CHANGE PROCESS

39

In order for substantial electric vehicle penetration:

  • Cost of electric vehicles will need to move closer to traditional internal combustion engine cars

whether through reduction in manufacturing/battery costs or significant subsidies from the government authorities (which we do not believe are sustainable in most countries)

  • Charging infrastructure needs to expand, adapt and move to a more standard, predictable offer

in order to convince the consumers of the practicality of the product and its resistance to

  • bsolescence
  • Selection of electric vehicles needs to substantiate in order to meet needs and expectation of

consumers

  • Range of EVs will need to increase in order to adapt to North American driving habits

In order to deliver significant GHG emission reductions, transport electrification needs to go hand-in-hand with the decarbonisation of electricity generation Electric grid needs to be adapted in terms of capacity and battery production capabilities need to significantly ramp-up

30.10.2017

Global mobility trends will change how we think about cars and demand for fuel is going to decline but Couche-Tard believes that this change is going to happen gradually because

slide-40
SLIDE 40

POSSIBLE OFFSETS TO DECLINING FUEL DEMAND

Possible decline in number of stations and fuel volume consolidation. Out of 155k convenience stores in the US, 60% are operated by single store operators Increased fuel margins Higher share of premium fuels (higher margins) Expansion of current convenience offer towards higher margin categories Increasing number of vehicles Increasing number of miles driven per vehicle Industry’s participation in the electrification process
