Materials handling adjusted gross margin increased by US$1.5 million, or 11%, to US$14.3 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to US$12.8 million for the second quarter of 2017.

"Increased asphalt handling, at our Kildair terminal as well as increased heavy lift activity were the primary drivers of the 11% increase in Materials Handling adjusted gross margin," reported David Glendon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sprague Resources LP. “Timing differences related to dry bulk handling also contributed to the increase."

  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of US$120 million to US$140 million.
