The company's earned US$442.3 million, or US$0.46 per share, in the quarter ended April 27, down from US$454.5 million, or US$0.48, a year earlier. The FactSet consensus estimate expected earnings of US$0.47 per share.

Revenue fell to US$16.27 billion from US$17.59 billion a year prior. FactSet projected US$16.76 billion. The company said the decline was mainly due to lower average fuel prices and weaker fuel demand in the US, partially offset by changes to its network.

"During the fourth quarter, in the face of difficult economic and geopolitical conditions, we held the line in same-store sales in the United States and had strong positive results in Canada and Europe," Chief Executive Officer Alex Miller said, adding, "Compared to the same period last year, in our fuel business, we had positive volumes in Canada, and in the United States, we maintained market share and margins aligned with recent quarters."

The company did not offer any comment on the proposed Seven & I takeover.

Couche-Tard shares closed down $2.01 to $68.81 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
