MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) contains information about the performance and financial position of Superior Plus Corp. (“Superior”) as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as well as forward-looking information about future periods. The information in this MD&A is current to May 13, 2026, and should be read in conjunction with Superior’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Superior were prepared by and are the responsibility of Superior’s management. Superior’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) using accounting policies Superior adopted in its annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
All financial amounts in this MD&A are expressed in millions of United States dollars except where otherwise noted. All tables are for the three months ended March 31 of the period indicated, unless otherwise stated. Changes in performance are relative to the same period of 2025 unless otherwise noted. This MD&A includes forward-looking statements and assumptions. See “Forward-Looking Information” for more details.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Throughout the MD&A, Superior has used the following terms that are not defined under IFRS, which are used by management to evaluate the performance of Superior and its businesses: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) from operations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per share, Operating costs, Net Debt, Leverage Ratio, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA per share, Free Cash Flow per share and Adjusted Net Earnings per share. These measures may also be used by investors, financial institutions and credit rating agencies to assess Superior’s performance and ability to service debt. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Securities regulations require that Non-GAAP and other financial measures are clearly defined, explained and reconciled to their most directly comparable measure presented in the (primary) financial statements. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP financial measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific items may only be relevant in certain periods.
The intent of using Non-GAAP financial measures is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts; the measures do not have standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate Non-GAAP financial measures differently. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations” for more information about these measures.

The preferred share dividends are deducted from the numerator in this calculation. The basic weighted average number of outstanding shares for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 216.4 million (three months ended March 31, 2025 was 235.6 million).
Results for the three months ended March 31, 2026
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $245.9 million, a decrease of $14.6 million or 6% compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA of $260.5 million primarily due to lower Adjusted EBITDA in CNG and to a lesser extent, U.S. Propane, partially offset by a higher Adjusted EBITDA in Canadian Propane and lower corporate costs compared to the prior year quarter.
Superior Plus Corp.
2026 First Quarter Results
CNG Adjusted EBITDA was $38.4 million, decreased by $16.7 million or 30% primarily due to the impact of lower ancillary revenue due to decreased utility winter standby services that did not occur in the current period, and to a lesser extent, lower realized prices in the wellsite business.
U.S. Propane Adjusted EBITDA was $158.7 million, a decrease of $4.9 million or 3% primarily due to lower sales volumes partially offset by higher average unit margins.
Canadian Propane Adjusted EBITDA was $55.9 million, an increase of $6.8 million or 14% primarily due to higher average unit margins, the impact of the weaker U.S dollar on the translation of Canadian dollar denominated transactions and lower operating costs, partially offset by lower sales volumes.
Corporate operating costs were $7.1 million compared to $7.3 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower incentive plan costs.

Revenue was $560.1 million, a decrease of $74.2 million or 12% from the prior year quarter primarily due to lower retail sales volumes and lower wholesale commodity prices.
Adjusted gross profit related to propane distribution for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $276.9 million, a decrease of $7.5 million or 3% from the prior year quarter primarily due to lower sales volumes partially offset by higher average unit margins compared to the prior year quarter.
Total sales volumes were 260 million gallons, a decrease of 8 million gallons or 3%. Average weather, as measured by degree days, across markets where U.S. propane operates for the period was consistent with the prior year quarter and 6% colder than the five-year average. Residential sales volumes decreased by 3 million gallons or 3%
Superior Plus Corp.
2026 First Quarter Results
from the prior year quarter. Commercial volumes decreased by 6 million gallons or 9% compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in both residential and commercial sales volumes is due to the impact of reduced delivery capacity, limiting the company's ability to respond to propane demand in the quarter and customer attrition. Wholesale sales volumes increased 1 million gallons or 1% from the prior year quarter. The increase in wholesale volumes is due to colder weather in the east and wholesale customer growth.
U.S. Propane average sales margins were $1.07 per gallon, an increase of 1 cent or 1% from $1.06 per gallon in the prior year quarter primarily due to higher commercial pricing and strong wholesale margins compared to the prior year quarter.
Other services gross profit primarily includes equipment rental, installation, repair and maintenance charges. Other services gross profit was $2.1 million, a decrease of $1.1 million or 34% over the prior year quarter primarily due to a lower distillate customer base and the impact of prioritizing deliveries.
Operating costs were $120.3 million, a decrease of $3.7 million or 3% over the prior year quarter primarily due to cost saving initiatives, including reduced headcount related costs, and lower volume related costs partially offset by higher vehicle maintenance costs.
SD&A includes amortization, depreciation and transaction, restructuring and other costs whereas operating costs exclude these expenses and is used in the determination of Adjusted EBITDA. SD&A was $148.0 million, a decrease of $5.7 million or 4% over the prior year quarter. The decrease is due primarily to lower operating costs and reduced amortization and depreciation expense as a result of a lower asset base and fully depreciated intangible assets.
Earnings before income tax were $130.5 million, a decrease of $3.8 million over the prior year quarter due to the reasons described above and the impact of a smaller unrealized gain on derivative financial instruments compared to the prior year quarter.
Financial Outlook
U.S. Propane Adjusted EBITDA in 2026 is anticipated to be higher than the prior year as a result of the impact of Superior Delivers partially offset by inflation, managing pricing to offset customer attrition and an investment in expanding the sales and services platform. The average weather for the remainder of 2026, as measured by degree days, is expected to be consistent with the five-year average. In addition, Superior has assumed that the impact of tariffs on customer demand for propane, on the cost of procuring new fleet and equipment or any delay in supply chain impacting capital expenditures will have a minimal impact on Superior's results.
In addition to the significant assumptions referred to above, refer to "Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors to Superior" for a detailed review of significant business risks affecting Superior.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $216.3 million, a decrease of $33.0 million or 13% from the prior year quarter primarily due to lower commodity prices and, to a lesser extent, lower sales volumes partially offset by the impact of the weaker U.S. dollar on the translation of Canadian denominated transactions.
Adjusted gross profit related to propane distribution for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $100.7 million, an increase of $7.4 million or 8% from the prior year quarter primarily due to higher average unit margins partially offset by lower sales volumes.
Total sales volumes were 119 million gallons, a decrease of 7 million gallons or 6%. Average weather across Canada for the quarter as measured by degree days was 1% warmer than the prior year quarter and 2% colder than the 5-year average. Compared to the prior year quarter, Western Canada was 2% warmer and Eastern Canada was 2% colder. Residential sales volumes increased by 1 million gallons or 5% from the prior year quarter due to colder weather in the Eastern Region. Commercial sales volumes decreased by 3 million gallons or 4% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to competitive pressures in the oilfield sector and weaker economic activity of commercial customers, warmer weather in Western Canada and customer attrition. Wholesale sales volumes decreased by 5 million gallons or 18% from the prior year quarter primarily due to the loss of a wholesale customer.
Average propane sales margins were 85 cents per gallon, an increase of 11 cents or 15% from 74 cents per gallon in the prior year quarter due primarily to strong market differentials, realization of savings associated with a revised procurement strategy, the impact of the weaker U.S. dollar on the translation of Canadian denominated transactions and customer mix partially offset by price concessions to reduce the risk of customer attrition.
Other services gross profit includes equipment rental, installation, repair and maintenance and customer minimum use charges. Other services gross profit was $2.6 million, an increase of $0.4 million or 18% from the prior year quarter of $2.2 million due to an increase in the gross profit of parts and materials partially offset by lower transport fees and the impact of the weaker U.S. dollar on the translation of Canadian denominated transactions.
Operating costs were $47.4 million, representing an increase of $1.0 million or 2% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to the impact of the weaker U.S. dollar on the translation

of Canadian denominated transactions; the impact of a higher legal settlement related to the prior period and an increased investment in systems partially offset by cost saving initiatives including reduced headcount related costs.
SD&A includes amortization, depreciation, and transaction, restructuring and other costs whereas operating costs exclude these expenses and is used in the determination of Adjusted EBITDA. SD&A was $62.5 million, an increase of $2.1 million over the prior year quarter. The increase in SD&A is consistent with the reasons described above.
Earnings before income tax was $59.3 million, an increase of $24.6 million over the prior year quarter due to the above reasons and the impact of a higher unrealized gain on derivative financial instruments compared to the prior year quarter.
Financial Outlook
Canadian Propane Adjusted EBITDA in 2026 is anticipated to be higher than the prior year due to the full year impact of Superior Delivers. The average weather for the remainder of 2026, as measured by degree days, is expected to be consistent with the five-year average. In addition, Superior has assumed that the impact of tariffs on customer demand for propane, on the cost of procuring new fleet and equipment or any delay in supply chain impacting capital expenditures will have a minimal impact on Superior's results.
In addition to the significant assumptions referred to above, refer to "Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors to Superior" for a detailed review of significant business risks affecting Superior.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $129.8 million, a decrease of $18.4 million or 12% from the prior year quarter primarily due to lower ancillary revenues with the decreased utility winter standby services that did not occur in the current period, and to a lesser extent, lower realized prices in the wellsite business. Included in revenue are sales related to natural gas distribution and ancillary services which consist of equipment rentals, standby services and take-or-pay arrangements. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, CNG had an average of 889 MSUs compared to an average of 863 MSUs for the prior year quarter.
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $20.3 million, a decrease of $7.0 million or 26% from the prior year quarter primarily due to the impact of lower product costs. Cost of sales primarily consists of the cost of commodity being distributed. Costs related to distribution activities, including vehicle costs, salaries and wages, and other operating costs associated with the various satellite locations, are excluded from cost of sales and are reported within operating costs and SD&A.
Gross profit related to direct natural gas distribution for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $79.8 million, an increase of $4.3 million or 6% from the prior year quarter primarily due to increased CNG sales volumes and lower product costs partially offset by continued pressure on pricing in the wellsite business. Total sales volumes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 9,382 MMBtu resulting in an average direct natural gas distribution sales margin of $8.50 per MMBtu compared to $8.55 per MMBtu in the prior year quarter. Ancillary gross profit decreased by $15.7 million compared to the prior year quarter as a result of decreased utility winter standby services that did not occur in the current period.
Natural gas is purchased at spot rates, which are the daily rates in effect at the time of purchase and are quoted in relation to a physical location. The change in product costs period-over-period generally trend with the change in natural gas commodity prices for the same period. CNG has the ability to quickly adjust pricing on short-term contracts and has contractual mechanisms in place to either flow through the excess cost of natural gas once a certain index threshold is exceeded or have the entire index price of natural gas as a flow through to the customer.

2026 First Quarter Results
Operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $71.1 million, an increase of $5.3 million or 8% from the prior year quarter primarily due to increased sales volumes and higher trucking costs. On a per-unit basis, operating costs increased to $7.58 per MMBTU from $7.45 per MMBTU in the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher trucking costs. Included in operating costs are the costs to operate the CNG locations, transmission costs, vehicle costs and all other selling and administrative costs.
SD&A includes amortization, depreciation and transaction, restructuring and other costs whereas operating costs exclude these expenses and is used in the determination of Adjusted EBITDA. SD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $92.3 million, an increase of $5.6 million over the prior year quarter. The increase in SD&A is due to higher operating costs, increased depreciation and amortization related to a higher asset base and a gain on disposal of assets in the prior period compared to a loss in the current period partially offset by restructuring costs incurred in the prior comparable period.
Earnings before income tax was $16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $17.1 million over the prior year quarter earnings of $33.9 million, for the above reasons.
Financial Outlook
CNG’s Adjusted EBITDA for 2026 is anticipated to be lower than 2025 as a result of a reduction in ancillary revenue from utility standby services and lower realized prices in the wellsite business partially offset by realizing operating efficiencies and increased contributions from the industrial and renewable businesses. In addition, Superior has assumed that the impact of tariffs on customer demand, the impact of procuring new fleet and equipment or any delay in supply chain impacting capital expenditures will have a minimal impact on Superior’s results.
In addition to the significant assumptions referred to above, refer to “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors to Superior” for a detailed review of significant business risks affecting Superior.
CORPORATE OPERATING COSTS
A reconciliation between corporate SD&A and corporate operating costs is as follows:

(2) Operating costs are Non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations” beginning on page 20 for more information.
Corporate operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $7.1 million a decrease of $0.2 million compared to $7.3 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease is due to lower incentive plan costs due to fluctuations in share prices and timing of expenses.
Corporate operating costs included in Adjusted EBITDA exclude depreciation, amortization, transaction, restructuring and other costs and unrealized (gain) loss on equity hedges. Corporate SD&A was an expense of $10.3

2026 First Quarter Results
million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $19.9 million from a recovery of $9.6 million in the prior year quarter primarily due to a recovery recorded as part of transaction, restructuring and other costs, in the prior year partially offset by the above reasons. The recovery relates to the Alberta Court of Appeal ruling in favor of Superior in the matter of Chemtrade Electrochem Inc., formerly Canexus Corporate (“Chemtrade”) v. Superior Plus Corporation, overturning the earlier decision and ruling that Superior was not required to pay Chemtrade a C$25 million reverse termination fee on the termination of the Arrangement Agreement between the parties in 2016. As a result of this ruling Superior received approximately C$28.1 million including interest.
CONSOLIDATED CAPITAL EXPENDITURE SUMMARY
Superior’s capital expenditures are as follows:
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31 | ||
| (millions of dollars) | 2026 | 2025 |
| U.S. Propane | 6.4 | 5.6 |
| Canadian Propane | 1.3 | 2.4 |
| CNG | 11.3 | 15.9 |
| Capital expenditures prior to leases | 19.0 | 23.9 |
| Investment in leased vehicles (1) | 2.5 | 0.8 |
| Investment in other leased assets (1) | 5.1 | 1.3 |
| Total capital expenditures | 26.6 | 26.0 |
| Proceeds on disposal of property, plant and equipment | (1.8) | (3.9) |
| Capital expenditures, net of proceeds on dispositions | 24.8 | 22.1 |
(1) The sum of the leases is disclosed as additions in Note 10 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Total capital expenditures were $26.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which is consistent compared to $26.0 million in the prior year quarter. This is primarily due to reduced spending in CNG partially offset by an increase in leased assets mainly due to timing of renewing leases.
Proceeds on disposition of assets were $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $3.9 million in the prior year quarter. The disposals were higher in the prior year as a result of identifying under-utilized assets primarily associated with the Superior Delivers program that started in the prior year and relate primarily to the divestiture of certain non-strategic assets.
TRANSACTION, RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS
Superior’s transaction, restructuring and other costs have been categorized together and excluded from segmented results. The table below summarizes these costs:
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31 | ||
| (millions of dollars) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Total transaction, restructuring and other costs (recovery) | 3.4 | (16.8) |
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Superior recorded an expense of $3.4 million related to costs associated with completed Superior Delivers initiatives. The recovery recorded in the prior year quarter of $16.8 million was primarily due to the favorable ruling described in Corporate Operating Costs and was partially offset by costs associated with a change in management in the CNG segment.

(1) The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 246.4 million (2025 - 265.6 million). The weighted average number of shares assumes the exchange of the issued and outstanding preferred shares into common shares. There were no other dilutive instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $126.9 million, compared to $146.4 million net earnings in the prior comparable period. The decrease in net earnings is primarily due to higher SD&A since the prior year quarter included a legal cost recovery discussed in the Corporate Operating Costs section above and lower gross profit offset by a higher gain on derivatives, lower finance expense and lower income tax expense. Basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to Superior was $0.50 per share, a decrease of $0.04 from $0.54 per share in the prior comparable period. The decrease in earnings per share is consistent with the decrease in net earnings offset by the impact from the decrease in the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Finance expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $22.4 million, a decrease of $2.2 million or 9% from $24.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to the impact of lower average interest rates compared to the prior comparable period.
Gain on derivative and foreign currency translation of borrowings consists of unrealized gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments and foreign currency translation of borrowings, net of realized gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments and realized gains (losses) on settlement of U.S. denominated borrowings. The gain on derivatives and foreign currency translation of borrowings was $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a gain of $7.4 million in the prior year quarter. The change is primarily due to changes in market prices of commodities, timing of maturities of underlying financial instruments and changes in foreign exchange rates relative to amounts hedged. For additional details, refer to Note 11 in unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

INCOME TAXES
Consistent with prior periods, Superior recognizes a provision for income taxes for its subsidiaries that are subject to current and deferred income taxes, including Canadian, U.S., Hungarian, and Bermudian income tax.
Total income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $39.6 million, comprised of $7.6 million in current income tax expense and $32.0 million in deferred income tax expense. This compares to a total income tax expense of $44.1 million in the prior year quarter, which consisted of current income tax expense of $10.3 million and $33.8 million deferred income tax expense.
Current income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $7.6 million (2025 – $10.3 million), consisting of income taxes in Canada of $2.2 million (2025 – $3.3 million), in the U.S. of $5.3 million (2025 – $6.9 million), and in Bermuda of $nil (2025 – $0.1 million).
Deferred income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $32.0 million (2025 – $33.8 million), resulting in a net deferred income tax liability of $203.8 million as at March 31, 2026.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Debt Management Update
Superior’s Leverage Ratio as at March 31, 2026 was 3.9x, compared to 4.0x at December 31, 2025. The decrease in the Leverage Ratio primarily reflected lower Net Debt, partially offset by a lower Adjusted EBITDA during the period. Net Debt balances are down $96.9 million or 5% from December 31, 2025 due to the seasonality of the business, see Note 9 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Net Debt, Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA and Leverage Ratio are Non-GAAP measures and/or ratios, see “Non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations” beginning on page 20.
Borrowing
Superior’s revolving syndicated bank facilities (“revolving credit facilities”), senior unsecured notes, lease obligations, deferred consideration and other debt (collectively “borrowing”) before deferred financing fees was $1,788.1 million as at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $84.1 million from $1,872.2 million as at December 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to seasonality of the business.
Superior’s total and available sources of credit as at March 31, 2026 are detailed below:
| (millions of dollars) | Total Amount | Borrowing | Letters of Credit Issued | Amount Available |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revolving credit facilities^{(1)(2)} | 995.2 | 665.7 | 29.6 | 299.9 |

(1) The revolving credit facilities and the senior unsecured notes balances are presented before deferred financing fees, see Note 9 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The total amount that can be borrowed under the revolving credit facilities is $995.2 million and the available amount as of March 31, 2026 is $299.9 million.
(2) The credit facilities consist of a U.S. dollar $600 million facility maturing on August 8, 2030, which can be further increased by $250 million on certain conditions and a $550 million sidecar facility maturing on August 8, 2028.
Net Working Capital
Consolidated net working capital was $92.2 million as at March 31, 2026, an increase of $78.2 million from $14.0 million as at December 31, 2025. The increase from December 31, 2025, is primarily due to the timing of customer receipts, inventory balances and the timing of settling trade and other payables. Net working capital is defined in the

(4) Estimated based on interest rates, foreign exchange rates and outstanding balances as of March 31, 2026 and assumes the settlement of debt will occur on each instruments’ respective maturity date.
In addition to the commitments mentioned above, Superior has entered into purchase orders and contracts during the normal course of business related to commodity purchase obligations transacted at market prices. Furthermore, Superior has entered into purchase agreements that require it to purchase minimum amounts or quantities of propane and other natural gas liquids over certain time periods which vary but are generally for one year. Superior has generally exceeded such minimum requirements in the past and expects to continue doing so for the foreseeable future. Failure to satisfy the minimum purchase requirements could result in the termination of contracts, change in pricing and/or payments to the applicable supplier.
Superior’s contractual obligations are considered normal operating commitments and do not include the impact of mark-to-market fair values on financial and non-financial derivatives. Superior expects to fund these obligations through a combination of cash flows from operations and proceeds on revolving term bank credit facilities. Superior’s financial instruments’ sensitivities are consistent as at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. In the normal course of business, Superior is subject to lawsuits and claims.

SHAREHOLDERS' CAPITAL
Superior’s previous normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) authorized the purchase of up to 24,117,330 common shares and expired on August 6, 2025, the date on which Superior had acquired such maximum number of common shares. The current NCIB commenced on November 19, 2025 and will terminate on the earlier of November 18, 2026 or the date on which Superior has purchased the maximum number of its common shares permitted under the NCIB, being 21,551,556 common shares, representing 10% of the public float (as defined by the Toronto Stock Exchange) as at November 5, 2025. The NCIB is subject to additional standard regulatory requirements.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, 4.2 million common shares were repurchased for $22.0 million (C$29.6 million), including commission and taxes, at a volume weighted average cost of approximately $5.24 per common share (approximately C$7.03 per common share). The repurchased shares with a total book value of $38.2 million (C$52.4 million) were immediately cancelled and a gain of $16.2 million (C$22.8 million), net of $0.4 million in tax, was recorded to deficit. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 6.2 million common shares were repurchased for $28.6 million (C$40.2 million), including commission and taxes, at a volume weighted average cost of approximately $4.48 per common share (approximately C$6.42 per common share). As at March 31, 2026, Superior has 214.6 million common shares issued and outstanding (December 31, 2025 – 218.8 million common shares).
Superior engaged a broker to administer the NCIB. Superior may enter into an automatic purchase plan (“APP”) with its broker in relation to the NCIB to facilitate purchases of common shares under the NCIB at times when Superior normally would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. Pursuant to the APP and when Superior was not in possession of material non-public information about itself or its securities, Superior directed its broker to make purchases of common shares under the NCIB during the trading blackout period. Such purchases were based on trading parameters established by Superior at the time of giving such direction in accordance with the rules of the TSX, applicable securities laws and the terms of the APP. As at March 31, 2026, Superior has not instructed its broker to repurchase shares through this APP resulting in a $nil APP liability as at March 31, 2026. The value of the APP as at December 31, 2025, in the amount of $15.3 million (C$21.0 million), has been reversed to deficit in the current period.
DIVIDENDS
Dividends Declared to Common Shareholders
Dividends declared to Superior’s common shareholders depend on its cash flow from operating activities with consideration for Superior’s changes in working capital requirements, investing activities and financing activities. See “Summary of Adjusted EBITDA” for 2026 above, and “Summary of Cash Flow” for additional details.
Dividends declared to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $7.0 million (C$0.045 per common share), consistent when compared to $7.2 million (C$0.045 per common share) in the prior period. Dividends to shareholders are declared at the discretion of Superior’s Board of Directors.
Superior has a Dividend Reinvestment and Optional Share Purchase Plan (“DRIP”) that is currently suspended and will remain in place should Superior elect to reactivate the DRIP, subject to regulatory approval, at a future date.
Dividends Declared to Preferred Shareholders
Dividends declared to preferred shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $4.7 million or $18.10 per preferred share which is consistent with the prior comparable period.

SUMMARY OF CASH FLOW
Superior’s primary sources and uses of cash are detailed below:
| Three Months Ended March 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| (millions of dollars) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Cash flows from operating activities | 138.4 | 151.5 |
| Cash flows used in investing activities | (17.2) | (20.0) |
| Cash flows used in financing activities | (107.8) | (115.1) |
| Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | 13.4 | 16.4 |
| Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of the period (prior to adjustment for IFRS 9 amendments) | 23.8 | 17.1 |
| Adjustment on initial application of IFRS 9 amendments (January 1, 2026) | 2.2 | – |
| Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of the period | 26.0 | 17.1 |
| Effect of translation of foreign currency-denominated cash and cash equivalents | (0.3) | (0.8) |
| Cash and cash equivalents, end of the period | 39.1 | 32.7 |
Cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $138.4 million, a decrease of $13.1 million from the prior year quarter, primarily due to the decrease in cash generated from operations offset by the decrease in changes in non-cash operating working capital.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $17.2 million, a decrease of $2.8 million from the prior year quarter due to timing of receipt of vehicles, tanks and equipment, reduced capital spending as a result of increased focus on the deployment of capital in the businesses and the impact of increased proceeds from disposition in the prior year as a result of disposing redundant assets.
Cash flows used in financing activities were $107.8 million, a decrease of $7.3 million from the prior year quarter’s net repayments, primarily due to lower share buy-backs made in the current year quarter.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
Superior is confirming its 2026 Adjusted EBITDA growth of approximately 2% compared to 2025 Adjusted EBITDA. The increase is primarily due to incremental earnings related to Superior Delivers partially offset by the assumption of normal weather and continued challenges in the CNG segment.
Superior continues to expect Superior Delivers to result in incremental Adjusted EBITDA of at least $75 million expected to be realized in 2028. Given CNG’s growing data center business, Superior plans to invest an additional $70 million of capital in 2026, bringing total expected capital expenditures in 2026 from approximately $160 million to $230 million primarily due to the timing of capital required to service this contract and pausing its share buyback program. Recently announced data center contracts are expected to begin contributing to EBITDA in 2027; as a result, the Company is making no changes to its 2026 EBITDA guidance, but now expects EBITDA growth of approximately 5% from 2026 to 2027, versus the previous expectation of 2%.
Given the increased capital investment and EBITDA growth related to CNG, the Company now expects to achieve a leverage ratio of approximately 3.9x by the end of 2026 and continues to expect 3.5x by the end of 2027. If the Company were to redeem its preferred shares using incremental debt, its 2027 targeted leverage ratio would increase by approximately 0.5x.
Achieving Superior’s Adjusted EBITDA depends on the operating results of its segments. In addition to the operating results of the segments, the significant assumptions underlying the achievement of Superior’s 2026 guidance are consistent with those disclosed in the MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2025.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial and non-financial derivatives are used by Superior to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, share-based compensation and commodity prices. Superior assesses the inherent risks of these instruments by grouping derivative and non-financial derivatives related to the exposures these instruments mitigate. Superior’s policy is not to use derivative or non-financial derivative instruments for speculative purposes. Superior does not formally designate its derivatives as hedges and, as a result, Superior does not apply hedge accounting, except for equity hedges related to restricted share grants issued to employees, and is required to designate its derivatives and non-financial derivatives as held for trading.
As at March 31, 2026, a summary of the net notional amounts of Superior’s U.S. dollar forward contracts and the offsetting amounts for the rolling twelve months is provided in the table below.
| 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | Thereafter | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USD—foreign currency forward sales contracts, net (in millions) | 4.2 | 0.80 | – | – | – | – | 5.0 |
| Net average external U.S.$/CDN$ exchange rate | 1.33 | 1.39 | – | – | – | – | 1.36 |
For additional details on Superior’s financial instruments, including the amount and classification of gains and losses recorded, summary of fair values, notional balances, effective rates and terms, and significant assumptions used in the calculation of the fair value of Superior’s financial instruments, see Note 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P) are designed by or under the supervision of Superior’s President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in order to provide reasonable assurance that all material information relating to Superior is communicated to them by others in the organization as it becomes known and is appropriately disclosed as required under the continuous disclosure requirements of securities legislation and regulation. In essence, these types of controls are related to the quality, reliability and transparency of financial and non-financial information that is filed or submitted under securities legislation and regulation. The CEO and CFO are assisted in this responsibility by a Disclosure Committee, which is composed of senior leadership of Superior. The Disclosure Committee has established procedures so that it becomes aware of any material information affecting Superior in order to evaluate and discuss this information and determine the appropriateness and timing of its public release.
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICFR) are also designed by or under the supervision of Superior’s CEO and CFO and effected by Superior’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives are met. Due to inherent limitations in all such systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within a company have been detected. Accordingly, Superior’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the corporation’s disclosure control system are met.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
No changes were made in Superior’s ICFR that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Superior’s ICFR in the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Effectiveness
An evaluation of the design effectiveness of Superior's DC&P and ICFR was conducted as at March 31, 2026 by and under the supervision of Superior's management, including the CEO and CFO. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that Superior's DC&P and ICFR were designed effectively as at March 31, 2026.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Superior's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS. The significant accounting policies are described in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31 2026, except for changes disclosed below, if any. Certain of these accounting policies, as well as estimates made by management in applying such policies, are recognized as critical because they require management to make subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Superior's critical accounting estimates relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts, employee future benefits, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, the valuation of financial and non-financial derivatives, asset impairments, estimating liabilities under the cap and trade programs and estimating the incremental borrowing rate on leases.
Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures
Adopted January 1, 2026, amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system. The amendments also clarify the requirements for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest criterion and adds disclosure requirements for financial instruments with certain contingent features and for equity investments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments apply retrospectively, with an adjustment to the opening balance of financial assets and financial liabilities and the cumulative effect as an adjustment to the retained earnings opening balance. Prior periods are not required to be restated and can only be restated without the use of hindsight.
The Company assessed the impact and concluded that the amendments did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The prior year impact was reflected in the current year condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, and comparative information has not been restated.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The standards issued, but not yet effective, are consistent with those disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

2026 First Quarter Results
Fluctuations in Superior's individual quarterly results are subject to seasonality. Propane sales typically peak in the first quarter when approximately one-third of annual propane and gross profits are generated due to the demand of heating from end-use customers. They then decline through the second and third quarters, rising seasonally again in the fourth quarter with heating demand. CNG earnings are also seasonal in nature, typically peaking in the first quarter due to higher demand related to seasonal winter heating declining in the second quarter and rising seasonally in the fourth quarter. Similarly, net working capital is typically at seasonal highs during the first and fourth quarters. Net working capital is also significantly influenced by price changes in the underlying commodities, primarily wholesale propane and natural gas prices.
Volumes
U.S Propane sales by end-use application are as follows:
| (millions of gallons) | Q1 2026 | Q4 2025 | Q3 2025 | Q2 2025 | Q1 2025 | Q4 2024 | Q3 2024 | Q2 2024 |

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS
Throughout the MD&A, Superior has used the following terms that are not defined by IFRS, but are used by management to evaluate the performance of Superior and its business. These measures may also be used by investors, financial institutions and credit rating agencies to assess Superior's performance and ability to service debt. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures be clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their most comparable IFRS financial measures. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP financial measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific items may only be relevant in certain periods.
The intent of Non-GAAP financial measures is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts, and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate Non-GAAP financial measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA from operations and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as alternatives to net earnings, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Superior's performance.
Superior Plus Corp.
2026 First Quarter Results
Non-GAAP financial measures are identified and defined as follows:
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, losses (gains) on disposal of assets, finance expense, restructuring costs, transaction, restructuring and other costs, unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and foreign currency translation of borrowings, except for unrealized gains (losses) related to equity derivative contracts and realized gains (losses) on foreign currency forward contracts. Adjusted EBITDA is used by Superior and investors to assess its consolidated results and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is consistent with Superior’s segment profit (loss) as disclosed in Note 18 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Adjusted EBITDA is a significant performance measure used by management and investors to evaluate Superior’s ongoing performance of its businesses. Adjusted EBITDA is also used as one component in determining short-term incentive compensation for certain management employees. Adjusted EBITDA is consistent with Segment Profit as disclosed in Note 18 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Adjusted EBITDA per share is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by the weighted average shares assuming the exchange of the issued and outstanding preferred shares into common shares.
The seasonality of Superior’s individual quarterly results must be assessed in the context of annualized Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBTDA and Adjusted EBTDA per share
Adjusted EBTDA is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA less interest on borrowings and interest on lease liability. Adjusted EBTDA per share is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBTDA by the weighted average shares assuming the exchange of the issued and outstanding preferred shares into common shares. Adjusted EBTDA is used by Superior to measure performance of key senior management.
Adjusted EBITDA from operations
Adjusted EBITDA from operations is defined as the sum of U.S. Propane, Canadian Propane, and CNG segment profit (loss). Management uses Adjusted EBITDA from operations to set targets for Superior’s operating segments (including annual guidance and variable compensation targets). Note 18 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements discloses the segment profit (loss).
Per MSU amounts
Per MSU amounts represent the operating results of CNG divided by the average number of MSUs for the period. Superior uses per average MSU amounts to evaluate operating productivity. Per MSU amounts are presented in thousands of dollars.
Adjusted EBITDA per average MSU
Adjusted EBITDA per average MSU is used to evaluate the productivity during a reporting period. Adjusted EBITDA per average MSU is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by the average number of MSUs for the period.
Operating costs
Operating costs for the U.S., Canadian, and CNG segments include wages and benefits for employees, drivers, service and administrative labour, fleet maintenance, freight and distribution expenses excluded from cost of sales, along with the costs associated with owning and maintaining land, buildings and equipment, such as rent, repairs and maintenance, environmental, utilities, insurance and property tax costs. Operating costs exclude gains or losses on disposal of assets, depreciation and amortization, transaction, restructuring and integration costs.
Corporate operating costs include wages and benefits for employees, professional fees and other costs associated with the corporate function. Corporate operating costs are defined as SD&A expenses related to the corporate office adjusted for amortization and depreciation, gains or losses on disposal of assets and transaction, restructuring and integration costs. As a result of implementing hedge accounting for Superior’s long-term incentive plan and related

equity derivatives, Superior now includes these unrealized gains/losses as part of Corporate operating costs. See Adjusted Gross Profit below for a reconciliation of gains (losses) on derivatives and foreign currency translation of borrowings included in Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted Gross Profit
Adjusted gross profit represents revenue less cost of sales adjusted for realized gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments related to risk management. Management uses Adjusted Gross Profit to set margin targets and measure results. Unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments are excluded as a result of the customer contract not being included in the determination of the fair value for this risk management activity.
Realized gain (loss) on derivatives related to commodity risk management reconcile to total gain (loss) follows:
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31 | ||
| (millions of dollars) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Realized (loss) gain related to commodity risk management | ||
| U.S. Propane | (0.5) | 4.8 |
| Canadian Propane | (0.1) | 0.3 |
| Realized (loss) gain included in Adjusted Gross profit | (0.6) | 5.1 |
| Unrealized (loss) gain on equity derivative contracts - long-term incentive plan | (0.4) | 2.1 |
| (Loss) gain included in Adjusted EBITDA | (1.0) | 7.2 |
| Foreign currency forward contracts, net gain (loss) | 0.1 | (1.1) |
| Unrealized gain related to commodity risk management | 19.9 | 2.1 |
| Unrealized gain related to cross-currency interest rate swaps | 4.7 | – |
| Unrealized loss on equity derivative contracts - related to capital management strategies | (1.3) | – |
| Unrealized loss on U.S. dollar debt issued by a Canadian entity | (12.8) | (0.8) |
| Gain on derivatives and foreign currency translation of borrowings | 9.6 | 7.4 |
For additional details on Superior's financial instruments, including the amount and classification of gains and losses recorded, summary of fair values, notional balances, effective rates and terms, and significant assumptions used in the calculation of the fair value of Superior's financial instruments, see Note 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Adjusted net earnings per share
Adjusted net earnings excludes gains (losses) on financial and non-financial derivatives and foreign currency translation in a consistent manner as Adjusted EBITDA, deferred income tax expense (recovery), transaction, restructuring and other costs. Adjusted net earnings is divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Adjusted net earnings removes the impact of gains and losses that fluctuate from period to period and are either long-term in nature or form part of a hedging strategy that does not allow for hedge accounting, removes deferred taxes which are non-cash and are impacted by changes in unrealized gains and losses and removes transaction, restructuring and other costs which are one-time in nature. Management uses this metric to monitor Superior's earnings on a period by period basis taking into account the outstanding common shares for each reporting period.

Net Debt, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Leverage Ratio
Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt are Non-GAAP financial measures. Superior uses Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to calculate its Leverage ratio and, as a result, Leverage ratio is a Non-GAAP ratio. This ratio is used by Superior, investors and other users of financial information to assess its ability to service debt.
Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA calculated on a 12-month trailing basis giving pro forma effect to acquisitions, if any, to the first day of the calculation period. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is used by Superior to calculate its Leverage Ratio.
Superior Plus Corp.
2026 First Quarter Results
Net Debt is calculated by the sum of borrowings and lease liabilities before deferred financing fees reduced by Superior cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt is used by Superior to calculate its Leverage Ratio.
Leverage ratio is determined by dividing Superior’s Net Debt by Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA.
