Casey's on track for record Q4 EPS; inside sales up mid-single digits, fuel margins strong
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Record Q4 diluted EPS expected; fuel same-store gallons flat to up low-single digits vs prior year.
- Fuel margins in higher 30s cpg; retail fuel prices up ~39% YoY driving higher credit card fees.
- Inside same-store sales up mid-single digits; inside margins pressured by cheese costs $2.24/lb vs $1.93/lb.
- Operating expenses trending above prior guidance of 11-13% (now up mid-teens) due to credit card fees.
- Interest expense modestly impacted by non-cash charges from partial prepayment of variable debt.
