WKC plans to redeploy capital into core areas that deliver stronger and more consistent returns, improving financial discipline.

Fourth quarter performance fell short of expectations due to competitive market conditions impacting margins in the core fuels business.
Land segment performance was weak, driven by underperformance in lower return lines of business that are being exited.
Consolidated gross profit for the fourth quarter was down 9% year over year, primarily due to lower profit contribution in the land business.
The company recorded $247 million in non-cash intangible and other asset impairments, primarily within the land segment.
