OUR TWO STRONGEST PRODUCT CATEGORIES

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
24
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

TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES - USEFUL FACTS
Average lifecycle of vehicles is 16-19 years Global vehicle fleet is more than 1.2 billion vehicles and is expected to reach 2 billion in 2035 2016 Worldwide electric vehicle sales % total: 1.10% Worldwide electric vehicle fleet is approximately 2 million vehicles or 0.2% of total fleet US electric vehicles penetration is less than 1% Currently, total cost of
vehicles is significantly higher than ICE vehicles Limited line-up of electric vehicles #1 selling vehicle in the US: Ford F-150 Charging infrastructure and technology not mature Electric vehicle range remains limited Number of vehicles is increasing Number of miles driven per vehicle is increasing In the US, the electric grid is highly carbonized US fuel retail industry is highly fragmented. More than 60% of the 154k cstores are operated by single store or small chain
Countries with high EV penetration heavily subsidize EVs Countries that sopped or significantly reduced subsidies have seen EV sales plunge
37
COUCHE-TARD’S VIEW
Opportunity
Gradual and manageable change process Industry’s reaction ACT’s competitive advantages Continued focus on business Continuous monitoring
38
A GRADUAL AND MANAGEABLE CHANGE PROCESS
39
In order for substantial electric vehicle penetration:
whether through reduction in manufacturing/battery costs or significant subsidies from the government authorities (which we do not believe are sustainable in most countries)
in order to convince the consumers of the practicality of the product and its resistance to
consumers
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
POSSIBLE OFFSETS TO DECLINING FUEL DEMAND
40
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

CONTINOUS MONITORING
Although we believe that changing global mobility trends are going to happen gradually and that US fuel demand is going to continue to increase or be stable for another 5-10 years, we are committed to proactively monitor the change in trends and to work towards adapting our business model in
new trends will bring to our business.
