Comprehensive information about
USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
Management uses "adjusted net income attributable to
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP measures.
The tables on the last page of this press release reconcile net income attributable to
1 Reportable segments' EBIT represents an aggregate of our reportable operating segment level EBIT, as determined in accordance with GAAP.
2 Because we are unable to predict certain potentially material items affecting diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis, principally mark-to-market gains and losses on commodity and certain foreign currency derivative instruments, we cannot reconcile fiscal year 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, to diluted earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in reliance on the “unreasonable efforts” exception set forth in
USE OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains statements, estimates and projections that are forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). Such statements use forward-looking words such as “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” or other similar words and terms of similar meaning, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. These statements discuss plans, strategies, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future. Management believes that these are reasonable as of today’s date only. Actual results may differ significantly because of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond management’s control; accordingly, there is no assurance that results will be realized. You should read UGI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more extensive list of factors that could affect results. We undertake no obligation (and expressly disclaim any obligation) to update publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information or future events, except as required by the federal securities laws.

Operating and administrative expenses increased
$6 million primarily reflecting, among other things, higher maintenance expenses and higher uncollectible accounts expenses. -
Operating income increased
$15 million due to the higher total margin ($22 million ), partially offset by higher operating and administrative expenses ($6 million ) and increased depreciation expense ($3 million ) from continued distribution system capital expenditure activity.

- Temperatures were 15% colder than the prior-year period.
-
Total margin increased
$2 million largely due to higher margins from capacity management ($5 million ) and gas marketing activities ($3 million ), partially offset by lower midstream margins ($5 million ) which arose mainly from lower natural gas gathering and processing activities and the absence of power generation margin associated with the sale ofHunlock Creek inSeptember 2024 . -
Operating income was consistent with the prior-year period as higher total margin (
$2 million ) was offset by increased operating and administrative expenses ($2 million ).

- Temperatures were 2% warmer than normal and 10% colder than the prior-year period.
- Retail volumes were 4% lower than the prior-year period largely due to continued structural conservation and the absence of certain customers who previously converted from natural gas to LPG, substantially offset by the effects of colder weather.
-
Total margin decreased
$3 million primarily due to lower LPG volumes and the translation effects of the weaker foreign currencies (~$9 million ), substantially offset by higher LPG unit margins. -
Operating and administrative expenses decreased
$13 million reflecting lower personnel-related, maintenance and distribution expenses and the translation effects of the weaker foreign currencies (~$6 million ). -
Operating income increased
$15 million reflecting lower operating and administrative expenses ($13 million ) and higher other operating income, partially offset by lower total margin ($3 million ). -
Earnings before interest expense and income taxes increased
$12 million due to the higher operating income, partially offset by lower realized gains on foreign currency exchange contracts ($3 million ).

- Temperatures were 3% colder than normal and 11% colder than the prior-year period.
- Retail gallons increased 3% due to the impact of the colder weather, partially offset by the effect of net customer attrition.
-
Total margin increased
$13 million due to higher LPG volumes and increased LPG unit margins ($7 million ), partially offset by lower fee income ($4 million ) primarily attributable to lower fuel recovery fee and tank rental income. -
Operating income increased
$16 million largely reflecting increased total margin ($13 million ) and higher gain from asset sales ($4 million ).
(a) |
Total margin represents total revenue less total cost of sales. In the case of Utilities, total margin is also reduced by certain revenue-related taxes. |
(b) |
Deviation from average heating degree days is determined on a 10-year period utilizing volume-weighted weather data. |
