Basis of Presentation |
|
|
|
UGI Corporation (UGI) is a holding company that, through subsidiaries and joint-venture
affiliates, distributes and markets energy products and related services. In the United
States, we own and operate (1) a retail propane distribution business; (2) natural gas and
electric distribution utilities; (3) electricity generation facilities; and (4) energy
marketing and related businesses. Internationally, we distribute liquefied petroleum gases
(LPG) in France, central and eastern Europe and China. We refer to UGI and its
consolidated subsidiaries collectively as the Company or we. |
|
|
|
We conduct a national propane distribution business through AmeriGas Partners, L.P.
(AmeriGas Partners) and its principal operating subsidiaries AmeriGas Propane, L.P.
(AmeriGas OLP) and AmeriGas OLPs subsidiary, AmeriGas Eagle Propane, L.P. (Eagle OLP).
AmeriGas Partners, AmeriGas OLP and Eagle OLP are Delaware limited partnerships. UGIs
wholly owned second-tier subsidiary AmeriGas Propane, Inc. (the General Partner) serves as
the general partner of AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP. AmeriGas OLP and Eagle OLP
(collectively referred to as the Operating Partnerships) comprise the largest retail
propane distribution business in the United States serving residential, commercial,
industrial, motor fuel and agricultural customers from locations in 46 states. We refer to
AmeriGas Partners and its subsidiaries together as the Partnership and the General Partner
and its subsidiaries, including the Partnership, as AmeriGas Propane. At June 30, 2008,
the General Partner and its wholly owned subsidiary Petrolane Incorporated (Petrolane)
collectively held a 1% general partner interest and 42.9% limited partner interest in
AmeriGas Partners, and an effective 44.4% ownership interest in AmeriGas OLP and Eagle OLP.
Our limited partnership interest in AmeriGas Partners comprises 24,691,209 AmeriGas Partners
Common Units (Common Units). The remaining 56.1% interest in AmeriGas Partners comprises
32,318,742 publicly held Common Units representing limited partner interests. |
|
|
|
Our wholly owned subsidiary UGI Enterprises, Inc. (Enterprises) through subsidiaries (1)
conducts an LPG distribution business in France; (2) conducts LPG distribution businesses
and participates in an LPG joint-venture business, Zentraleuropa LPG Holding (ZLH), in

Through other subsidiaries, Enterprises also conducts an energy marketing business primarily
in the eastern United States (collectively, Energy Services). Energy Services wholly
owned subsidiary, UGI Development Company (UGID), owns and operates a 48-megawatt
coal-fired electric generation station located in northeastern Pennsylvania and owns an
approximate 6% interest in a 1,711-megawatt coal-fired electric generation station located
in western Pennsylvania. In addition, Energy Services wholly owned subsidiary UGI Asset
Management, Inc., through its subsidiary Atlantic Energy, Inc. (collectively, Asset
Management), owns a propane storage terminal located in Chesapeake, Virginia. Through other
Enterprises subsidiaries, we own and operate heating, ventilation, air-conditioning,
refrigeration and electrical contracting services businesses in the Middle Atlantic states
(HVAC/R).
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UGI and its
controlled subsidiary companies, which, except for the Partnership, are majority owned, and
are together referred to as we or the Company. We eliminate all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions when we consolidate. We report the publics limited
partner interests in the Partnership and the outside ownership interest in a subsidiary of
Antargaz as minority interests. Entities in which we own 50 percent or less and in which we
exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for by
the equity method.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). They include all adjustments which we consider necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consisted only
of normal recurring items unless otherwise disclosed. The September 30, 2007 condensed
consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements but do not
include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended September 30, 2007 (Companys 2007 Annual Report). Due to the seasonal nature
of our businesses, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
Restricted Cash. Restricted cash represents cash balances in our natural gas and
electricity futures brokerage accounts which are restricted from withdrawal.
Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per share reflect the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include the effects of dilutive stock
options and common stock awards.

Other comprehensive income principally comprises (1) changes in the fair value of derivative
commodity instruments, interest rate protection agreements, interest rate swaps and foreign
currency derivatives qualifying as hedges, net of reclassifications to net income and (2)
foreign currency translation adjustments.
Reclassifications. We have reclassified certain prior-year period balances to conform to
the current-period presentation.
Use of Estimates. We make estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Gas Utility Deferred Fuel Costs and Refunds. Gas Utilitys tariffs contain clauses which
permit recovery of certain purchased gas costs through the application of purchased gas
costs (PGC) rates. The clauses provide for periodic adjustments to PGC rates for
differences between the total amount of purchased gas costs collected from customers and
recoverable costs incurred. Gas Utility uses derivative financial instruments to reduce
volatility in the cost of gas it purchases for
firm- residential, commercial and industrial (retail core-market) customers. Realized and
unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments are included in utility
deferred fuel costs or utility deferred fuel refunds on the condensed consolidated balance
sheets. Unrealized gains and (losses) on such contracts at June 30, 2008, September 30,
2007, and June 30, 2007 were $49.3, ($0.6) and ($1.6), respectively.

Adoption of FIN 48. Effective October 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN
48), which provides a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement and disclosure
in financial statements of uncertain income tax positions that a company has taken or
expects to take on a tax return. Under FIN 48, a company can recognize the benefit of an
income tax position only if it is more likely than not (likelihood greater than 50%) that
the tax position will be sustained upon tax examination, based solely on the technical
merits of the tax position. Otherwise, no benefit can be recognized. Additionally, companies
are required to accrue interest and related penalties, if applicable, on all tax exposures
for which reserves have been established consistent with jurisdictional tax laws. Any
cumulative effect from the adoption of FIN 48 is recorded as an adjustment to opening
retained earnings. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, effective October 1, 2007 we
recorded a non-cash reduction to retained earnings of $1.2.
We classify interest on tax deficiencies and income tax penalties as income taxes. As of
October 1, 2007, we had unrecognized income tax benefits totaling $4.3, including related
accrued interest and penalties of $0.4. If these unrecognized tax benefits were
subsequently recognized, they would be recorded as a benefit to income taxes on the
consolidated statement of income and, therefore, would impact the reported effective tax
rate. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized tax benefits of
$0.9 as a result of a tax settlement relating to an audit of a French subsidiarys 2004 tax
return.
The Company conducts business and files tax returns in the U.S., numerous states and local
jurisdictions, and in certain European countries, principally France and Austria. Our U.S.
federal income tax returns and our French tax returns are settled through the 2004 tax
year. Our Austrian tax returns are effectively settled through the 2006 tax year. UGI
Corporations federal income tax returns for fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006 are currently
under audit. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the timing of the
conclusion of the pending U.S. federal tax audits in progress, we anticipate that the
Internal Revenue Services audit of our fiscal 2005 and 2006 U.S. federal income tax
returns will likely be completed by the end of fiscal 2008. Although we cannot predict
with certainty, we do not anticipate that our unrecognized federal income tax benefits will
significantly increase or decrease during the next twelve months. State and other income
tax returns in the U.S. are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five
years after the filing of the respective returns. The state impact of any amended U.S.
federal income tax returns remains subject to examination by various states for a period of
up to one year after formal notification to the states of such U.S. federal tax return
amendments.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 clarifies the
sources of accounting principles and the framework to be followed in preparing
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America. We do not expect this standard to impact our financial
statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. SFAS 142-3, Determination of
the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP SFAS 142-3). FSP SFAS 142-3 amends the factors
that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine
the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). The intent of FSP SFAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency
between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of
expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (revised
2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R), and other applicable accounting literature. FSP
SFAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 and must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the
effective date. We are currently evaluating the provisions of FSP SFAS 142-3.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures in the following
areas: (1) qualitative disclosures about the overall objectives and strategies for using
derivatives; (2) quantitative disclosures on the fair value of the derivative instruments
and related gains and losses in a tabular format; and (3) credit-risk-related contingent
features in derivative instruments. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim
periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of the
provisions of SFAS 161 on our future disclosures.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R. SFAS 141R applies to all transactions or other
events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses. SFAS 141R establishes,
among other things, principles and requirements for how the acquirer (1) recognizes and
measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities
assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (2) recognizes and measures the
goodwill acquired in a business combination or gain from a bargain purchase; and (3)
determines what information with respect to a business combination should be disclosed.
SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is
on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Among
the more significant changes in accounting for acquisitions are (1) transaction costs will
generally be expensed (rather than being included as costs of the acquisition); (2)
contingencies, including contingent consideration, will generally be recorded at fair value
with subsequent adjustments recognized in operations (rather than as adjustments to the
purchase price); and (3) decreases in valuation allowances on acquired deferred tax assets
will be recognized in operations (rather than decreases in goodwill). Generally, the effects
of SFAS 141R will depend on future acquisitions.
Also in December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160
establishes accounting and reporting standards that require, among other things, (1)
ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be presented
within stockholders equity, but separate from the parents equity; (2) earnings
attributable to minority interests will be included in net earnings, although such earnings
will continue to be deducted to measure earnings per share; (3) changes in a parents
ownership interest while retaining control be accounted for as
equity transactions; and (4) any retained noncontrolling equity investments in a former
subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are
currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS 160.

In
April 2007, the FASB issued FSP No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB
Interpretation No. 39 (FSP 39-1). FSP 39-1 permits companies to offset fair value
amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation
to return cash collateral (a payable) against fair value amounts recognized for derivative
instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. In
addition, upon the adoption, companies are permitted to change their accounting policy to
offset or not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master
netting arrangements. FSP 39-1 requires retrospective application for all periods
presented. FSP 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FSP
39-1 is not expected to have a material effect on our earnings or financial position and
will have no effect on our future cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157).
SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In
February 2008, the FASB issued two final staff positions (FSPs) amending SFAS 157. FSP
SFAS 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related
interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions. FSP SFAS 157-2
delays the effective date of SFAS 157 until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008
for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the financial statements on a non-recurring basis. The standard, as amended, applies
prospectively to new fair value measurements for the Company as follows: on October 1, 2008
the standard will apply to our measurements of fair values of financial instruments and
recurring fair value measurements of non-financial assets and liabilities; on October 1,
2009, the standard will apply to all remaining fair value measurements including
nonrecurring measurements of non-financial assets and liabilities such as measurement of
potential impairments of goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets. It
will also apply to non-financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed that are initially
measured at fair value in a business combination but that are not subject to remeasurement
at fair value in subsequent periods. SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material effect on
our earnings or financial position and will have no effect on our future cash flows.

(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts)
The increases in goodwill and other intangible assets during the nine months ended June 30,
2008 principally reflects the effects of foreign currency translation. Amortization expense
of intangible assets was $4.8 and $14.2 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008,
respectively, and $4.2 and $12.4 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007,
respectively. No amortization is included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated
statements of income. Our expected aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for
the next five fiscal years is as follows: fiscal 2008 $18.8; fiscal 2009 $18.1; fiscal
2010 $16.4; fiscal 2011 $16.0; fiscal 2012 $15.9.
We have organized our business units into six reportable segments generally based upon
products sold, geographic location (domestic or international) or regulatory environment.
Our reportable segments are: (1) AmeriGas Propane; (2) an international LPG segment
comprising Antargaz; (3) an international LPG segment comprising Flaga and our international
propane equity investments (Other); (4) Gas Utility; (5) Electric Utility; and (6) Energy
Services. We refer to both international segments collectively as International Propane.
The accounting policies of the six segments disclosed are the same as those described in
Note 1, Organization and Significant Accounting Policies, in the Companys 2007 Annual
Report. We evaluate AmeriGas Propanes performance principally based upon the Partnerships
earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (Partnership
EBITDA). Although we use Partnership EBITDA to evaluate AmeriGas Propanes profitability,
it should not be considered as an alternative to net income (as an indicator of operating
performance) and is not a measure of performance or financial condition under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We evaluate the performance
of our International Propane, Gas Utility, Electric Utility and Energy Services segments
principally based upon their income before income taxes.

Energy Services Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility |
Energy Services has a $200 receivables purchase facility (Receivables Facility) with an
issuer of receivables-backed commercial paper expiring in April 2009, although the
Receivables Facility may terminate prior to such date due to the terminations of commitments
of the Receivables Facility back-up purchasers. Under the Receivables Facility, Energy
Services transfers, on an ongoing basis and without recourse, its trade accounts receivable
to its wholly owned, special purpose subsidiary, Energy Services Funding Corporation
(ESFC), which is consolidated for financial statement purposes. ESFC, in turn, has sold,
and subject to certain conditions, may from time to time sell, an undivided interest in some
or all of the receivables to a commercial paper conduit of a major bank. ESFC was created
and has been structured to isolate its assets from creditors of Energy Services and its
affiliates, including UGI. This two-step transaction is accounted for as a sale of
receivables following the provisions of SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. Energy Services
continues to service, administer and collect trade receivables on behalf of the commercial
paper issuer and ESFC.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, Energy Services sold trade receivables
totaling $1,145.2 and $1,011.0, respectively, to ESFC. During the nine months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, ESFC sold an aggregate $95.5 and $433.5, respectively, of undivided
interests in its trade receivables to the commercial paper conduit. At June 30, 2008, the
outstanding balance of ESFC trade receivables was $132.1 and there was no amount sold to the
commercial paper conduit. At June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance of ESFC trade
receivables was $90.4 which is net of $5.5 that was sold to the commercial paper conduit and
removed from the balance sheet.

Pension Plans assets are held in trust and consist principally of equity and fixed income
mutual funds. The Company does not believe it will be required to make any contributions to
the Pension Plans during the year ending September 30, 2008 for ERISA funding purposes and
Antargaz does not expect to make any material contributions to fund its pension or other
postretirement benefits during fiscal 2008. Pursuant to orders previously issued by the
PUC, UGI Utilities has established a Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA)
trust to fund and pay UGI Gas and Electric Utilitys postretirement health care and life
insurance benefits referred to above by depositing into the VEBA the annual amount of
postretirement benefit costs determined under SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. The difference between the annual amount
calculated and the amount included in UGI Gas and
Electric Utilitys rates is deferred for future recovery from, or refund to, ratepayers.
Amounts contributed to the VEBA by UGI Utilities were not material during the nine months
ended June 30, 2008, nor are they expected to be material for the year ending September 30,
2008.
We also sponsor unfunded and non-qualified defined benefit supplemental executive retirement
income plans. We recorded pre-tax expense associated with these plans
of $0.6 and $2.4 for
the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. We recorded pre-tax expense
for these plans of $0.6 and $1.7 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007,
respectively.

On August 21, 2001, AmeriGas Partners, through AmeriGas OLP, acquired the propane
distribution businesses of Columbia Energy Group (the 2001 Acquisition) pursuant to the
terms of a purchase agreement (the 2001 Acquisition Agreement) by and among Columbia
Energy Group (CEG), Columbia Propane Corporation (Columbia Propane), Columbia Propane,
L.P. (CPLP), CP Holdings, Inc. (CPH, and together with Columbia Propane and CPLP, the
Company Parties), AmeriGas Partners, AmeriGas OLP and the General Partner (together with
AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP, the Buyer Parties). As a result of the 2001
Acquisition, AmeriGas OLP acquired all of the stock of Columbia Propane and CPH and
substantially all of the partnership interests of CPLP. Under the terms of an earlier
acquisition agreement (the 1999 Acquisition Agreement), the Company Parties agreed to
indemnify the former general partners of National Propane Partners, L.P. (a predecessor
company of the Columbia Propane businesses) and an affiliate (collectively, National
General Partners) against certain income tax and other losses that they may sustain as a
result of the 1999 acquisition by CPLP of National Propane Partners, L.P. (the 1999
Acquisition) or the operation of the business after the 1999 Acquisition (National
Claims). At June 30, 2008, the potential amount payable under this indemnity by the Company
Parties was approximately $58.0. These indemnity obligations will expire on the date that
CPH acquires the remaining outstanding partnership interest of CPLP, which is expected to
occur on or after July 19, 2009. Under the terms of the 2001 Acquisition Agreement, CEG
agreed to indemnify the Buyer Parties and the Company Parties against any losses that they
sustain under the 1999 Acquisition Agreement and related agreements (Losses), including
National Claims, to the extent such claims are based on acts or omissions of CEG or the
Company Parties prior to the 2001 Acquisition. The Buyer Parties agreed to indemnify CEG
against Losses, including National Claims, to the extent such claims are based on acts or
omissions of the Buyer Parties or the Company Parties after the 2001 Acquisition. CEG and
the Buyer Parties have agreed to apportion certain losses resulting from National Claims to
the extent such losses result from the 2001 Acquisition itself. |

Samuel and Brenda Swiger and their son (the Swigers) sustained personal injuries and
property damage as a result of a fire that occurred when propane that leaked from an
underground line ignited. In July 1998, the Swigers filed a class action lawsuit against
AmeriGas Propane, L.P. (named incorrectly as UGI/AmeriGas, Inc.), in the Circuit Court of
Monongalia County, West Virginia, in which they sought to recover an unspecified amount of
compensatory and punitive damages and attorneys fees, for themselves and on behalf of
persons in West Virginia for whom the defendants had installed propane gas lines, resulting
from the defendants alleged failure to install underground propane lines at depths required
by applicable safety standards. In 2003,
AmeriGas OLP settled the individual personal injury and property damage claims of the
Swigers. In 2004, the court granted the plaintiffs motion to include customers acquired
from Columbia Propane in August 2001 as additional potential class members and the
plaintiffs amended their complaint to name additional parties pursuant to such ruling.
Subsequently, in March 2005, AmeriGas OLP filed a crossclaim against CEG, former owner of
Columbia Propane, seeking indemnification for conduct undertaken by Columbia Propane prior
to AmeriGas OLPs acquisition. Class counsel has indicated that the class is seeking
compensatory damages in excess of $12 plus punitive damages, civil penalties and attorneys
fees. We believe we have good defenses to the claims of the class members and intend to
defend against the remaining claims in this lawsuit. |

By letter dated March 6, 2008, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
(DEC) notified AmeriGas OLP that DEC had placed property owned by the Partnership in
Saranac Lake, New York on its Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites. A site
characterization study performed by DEC disclosed contamination related to former
manufactured gas plant operations on the site. DEC has classified the site as a significant
threat to public health or environment with further action required. The Partnership is
researching the history of the site and is investigating DECs findings. The Partnership has
reviewed the preliminary site characterization study prepared by the DEC and is in the early
stages of investigating the extent of contamination and the possible existence of other
potentially responsible parties. Due to the early stage of such investigation, an estimate
of possible loss cannot be made. It is reasonably possible that such estimate of possible
loss could be material to the Companys results of operations.
The French tax authorities levy taxes on legal entities and individuals regularly operating
a business in France which are commonly referred to collectively as business tax. The
amount of business tax charged annually is generally dependent upon the value of certain of
the entitys tangible fixed assets. Changes in the French governments interpretation of
the tax laws or in the tax laws themselves could either adversely or favorably affect our
results of operations.
From the late 1800s through the mid-1900s, UGI Utilities and its former subsidiaries owned
and operated a number of manufactured gas plants (MGPs) prior to the general availability
of natural gas. Some constituents of coal tars and other residues of the manufactured gas
process are today considered hazardous substances under the Superfund Law and may be present
on the sites of former MGPs. Between 1882 and 1953, UGI Utilities owned the stock of
subsidiary gas companies in Pennsylvania and elsewhere and also operated the businesses of
some gas companies under agreement. Pursuant to the requirements of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935, UGI Utilities divested all of its utility operations other than
those which now constitute UGI Gas and Electric Utility by the early 1950s. At June 30,
2008, neither the Companys undiscounted amount nor its accrued liability for environmental
investigation and cleanup costs was material.
UGI Utilities does not expect its costs for investigation and remediation of hazardous
substances at Pennsylvania MGP sites to be material to its results of operations because UGI
Gas is currently permitted to include in rates, through future base rate proceedings, a
five-year average of such prudently incurred remediation costs. In accordance with the terms
of the PNG base rate case order which became effective December 2, 2006, site-specific
environmental investigation and
remediation costs associated with PNG Gas incurred prior to December 2, 2006 are amortized
as removal costs over five-year periods. Such costs incurred after December 1, 2006 are
expensed as incurred.

As a result of the acquisition of PG Energy by UGI Utilities wholly-owned subsidiary,
UGIPNG, UGIPNG became party to a Multi-Site Remediation Consent Order and Agreement between
PG Energy and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection dated March 31, 2004
(Multi-Site Agreement). The Multi-Site Agreement requires UGIPNG to perform annually a
specified level of activities associated with environmental investigation and remediation
work at 11 currently owned properties on which MGP-related facilities were operated
(Properties). Under the Multi-Site Agreement, environmental expenditures, including costs
to perform work on the Properties, are capped at $1.1 in any calendar year. Costs related to
investigation and remediation of one property formerly owned by UGIPNG are also included in
this cap. The Multi-Site Agreement terminates in 2019 but may be terminated by either party
effective at the end of any two-year period beginning with the original effective date.
UGI Utilities has been notified of several sites outside Pennsylvania on which private
parties allege MGPs were formerly owned or operated by it or owned or operated by its former
subsidiaries. Such parties are investigating the extent of environmental contamination or
performing environmental remediation. UGI Utilities is currently
litigating three claims
against it relating to out-of-state sites. We accrue environmental investigation and cleanup
costs when it is probable that a liability exists and the amount or range of amounts can be
reasonably estimated.
Management believes that under applicable law UGI Utilities should not be liable in those
instances in which a former subsidiary owned or operated an MGP. There could be, however,
significant future costs of an uncertain amount associated with environmental damage caused
by MGPs outside Pennsylvania that UGI Utilities directly operated, or that were owned or
operated by former subsidiaries of UGI Utilities if a court were to conclude that (1) the
subsidiarys separate corporate form should be disregarded or (2) UGI Utilities should be
considered to have been an operator because of its conduct with respect to its subsidiarys
MGP.
South Carolina Electric & Gas Company v. UGI Utilities, Inc. On September 22, 2006, South
Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G), a subsidiary of SCANA Corporation, filed a
lawsuit against UGI Utilities in the District Court of South Carolina seeking contribution
from UGI Utilities for past and future remediation costs related to the operations of a
former MGP located in Charleston, South Carolina. SCE&G asserts that the plant operated from
1855 to 1954 and alleges that UGI Utilities controlled operations of the plant from 1910 to
1926 and is liable for 47% of the costs associated with the site. SCE&G asserts that it has
spent approximately $22 in remediation costs and $26 in third-party claims relating to the
site and estimates that future remediation costs could be as high as $2.5. SCE&G further
asserts that it has received a demand from the United States Justice Department for natural
resource damages. UGI Utilities is defending the suit.
City of Bangor, Maine v. Citizens Communications Company. In April 2003, Citizens
Communications Company (Citizens) served a complaint naming UGI Utilities as a third-party
defendant in a civil action pending in the United States District Court for the District of
Maine. In that action, the plaintiff, City of Bangor, Maine (City) sued Citizens to recover
environmental response costs associated with MGP wastes generated at a plant allegedly
operated by Citizens predecessors at a site on the Penobscot River. Citizens subsequently
joined UGI Utilities and ten other third-party defendants alleging that the third-party
defendants are responsible for an equitable share of costs Citizens may be required to pay
to the City for cleaning up tar deposits in the Penobscot River. Citizens alleges that UGI
Utilities and its predecessors owned and operated the plant from 1901 to 1928.

Studies conducted by the City and Citizens suggest that it could cost up to $18 to clean up the
river. Citizens third-party claims have been stayed pending a resolution of the Citys suit
against Citizens, which was tried in September 2005. Maines Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) informed UGI Utilities in March 2005 that it considers UGI Utilities to
be a potentially responsible party for costs incurred by the State of Maine related to gas
plant contaminants at this site. On June 27, 2006, the court issued an order finding
Citizens responsible for 60% of the cleanup costs. On February 14, 2007, Citizens and the
City entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which Citizens agreed to pay $7.6 in
exchange for a release of its liabilities. UGI Utilities believes that it has good defenses
to any claim that the DEP may bring to recover its costs and is defending the Citizens
suit.
Consolidated Edison Company of New York v. UGI Utilities, Inc. On September 20, 2001,
Consolidated Edison Company of New York (ConEd) filed suit against UGI Utilities in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking contribution
from UGI Utilities for an allocated share of response costs associated with investigating
and assessing gas plant related contamination at former MGP sites in Westchester County, New
York. The complaint alleges that UGI Utilities owned and operated the MGPs prior to 1904.
The complaint also seeks a declaration that UGI Utilities is responsible for an allocated
percentage of future investigative and remedial costs at the sites.
The trial court granted UGI Utilities motion for summary judgment and dismissed ConEds
complaint. The grant of summary judgment was entered April 1, 2004. ConEd appealed and on
September 9, 2005 a panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed in part and
reversed in part the decision of the trial court. The appellate panel affirmed the trial
courts decision dismissing claims that UGI Utilities was liable under CERCLA as an operator
of MGPs owned and operated by its former subsidiaries. The appellate panel reversed the
trial courts decision that UGI Utilities was released from liability at three sites where
UGI Utilities operated MGPs under lease. On October 7, 2005, UGI Utilities filed for
reconsideration of the panels order, which was denied by the Second Circuit Court of
Appeals on January 17, 2006. On April 14, 2006, Utilities filed a petition requesting that
the United States Supreme Court review the decision of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
On June 18, 2007, the United States Supreme Court denied UGI
Utilities petition. The case
was remanded back to the trial court. On June 17, 2008, UGI Utilities and ConEd agreed to a
settlement with respect to the three remaining sites. UGI Utilities obligations under the
settlement agreement did not have a material effect on the Companys operating results or
financial condition.
Sag Harbor, New York Matter. By letter dated June 24, 2004, KeySpan Energy (KeySpan)
informed UGI Utilities that KeySpan has spent $2.3 and expects to spend another $11 to clean
up an MGP site it owns in Sag Harbor, New York. KeySpan believes that UGI Utilities is
responsible for approximately 50% of these costs as a result of UGI Utilities alleged
direct ownership and
operation of the plant from 1885 to 1902. By letter dated June 6, 2006, KeySpan reported
that the New York Department of Environmental Conservation has approved a remedy for the
site that is estimated to cost approximately $10. KeySpan believes that the cost could be as
high as $20. UGI Utilities is in the process of reviewing the information provided by
KeySpan and is investigating this claim.

Yankee Gas Services Company and Connecticut Light and Power Company v. UGI Utilities, Inc.
On September 11, 2006, UGI Utilities received a complaint filed by Yankee Gas Services
Company and Connecticut Light and Power Company, subsidiaries of Northeast Utilities,
(together the Northeast Companies) in the United States District Court for the District of
Connecticut seeking contribution from UGI Utilities for past and future remediation costs
related to MGP operations on thirteen sites owned by the Northeast Companies in nine cities
in the State of Connecticut. The Northeast Companies allege that UGI Utilities controlled
operations of the plants from 1883 to 1941. The Northeast Companies estimated that
remediation costs for all of the sites would total approximately $215 and asserted that UGI
Utilities is responsible for approximately $103 of this amount. Based on information
supplied by the Northeast Companies and UGI Utilities own investigation, UGI Utilities
believes that it may have operated one of the sites, Waterbury North, under lease for a
portion of its operating history. UGI Utilities is reviewing the Northeast Companies
estimate that remediation costs at Waterbury North could total $23. UGI Utilities is
defending the suit.
In addition to these matters, there are other pending claims and legal actions arising in
the normal course of our businesses. We cannot predict with certainty the final results of
environmental and other matters. However, it is reasonably possible that some of them could
be resolved unfavorably to us and result in losses in excess of recorded amounts. We are
unable to estimate any possible losses in excess of recorded amounts. Although we currently
believe, after consultation with counsel, that damages or settlements, if any, recovered by
the plaintiffs in such claims or actions will not have a material adverse effect on our
financial position, damages or settlements could be material to our operating results or
cash flows in future periods depending on the nature and timing of future developments with
respect to these matters and the amounts of future operating results and cash flows.

Proposed Acquisition of PPL Gas Utilities and Penn Fuel |
On March 5, 2008, UGI Utilities signed a definitive agreement to acquire all of the issued
and outstanding stock of PPL Gas Utilities Corporation (PPL Gas), the natural gas
distribution utility of PPL Corporation (PPL) (the Acquisition), for approximately $268
plus working capital. Immediately after the closing, UGI Utilities intends to sell the
assets of PPL Gas wholly owned subsidiary Penn Fuel Propane, LLC (Penn Fuel), its retail
propane distributor, to AmeriGas Propane, L.P. for cash consideration. PPL Gas distributes
natural gas to approximately 75,000 customers in 35 counties in eastern and central
Pennsylvania, and also distributes natural gas to several hundred customers in portions of
one Maryland county. Penn Fuel sells approximately 15 million gallons of propane annually
to more than 30,000 customers in eastern Pennsylvania. UGI Utilities expects to fund the
acquisition of PPL Gas and Penn Fuel with a
combination of cash on the balance sheet contributed by UGI and long-term debt issued by
UGI Utilities.
The Acquisition has been approved by the Maryland Public Service Commission and is pending
approval by the PUC. The Acquisition is currently expected to close on or about September
30, 2008.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
Information contained in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements
use forward-looking words such as believe, plan, anticipate, continue, estimate,
expect, may, will, or other similar words. These statements discuss plans, strategies, events
or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future.
A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the
forward-looking statement. We believe that we have chosen these assumptions or bases in good faith
and that they are reasonable. However, we caution you that actual results almost always vary from
assumed facts or bases, and the differences between actual results and assumed facts or bases can
be material, depending on the circumstances. When considering forward-looking statements, you
should keep in mind the following important factors which could affect our future results and could
cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements:
(1) adverse weather conditions resulting in reduced demand; (2) cost volatility and availability of
propane and other LPG, oil, electricity and natural gas and the capacity to transport product to
our market areas; (3) changes in domestic and foreign laws and regulations, including safety, tax
and accounting matters; (4) the impact of pending and future legal proceedings; (5) competitive
pressures from the same and alternative energy sources; (6) failure to acquire new customers
thereby reducing or limiting any increase in revenues; (7) liability for environmental claims; (8)
increased customer conservation measures due to high energy prices and improvements in energy
efficiency and technology resulting in reduced demand; (9) adverse labor relations; (10) large
customer, counterparty or supplier defaults; (11) liability in excess of insurance coverage for
personal injury and property damage arising from explosions and other catastrophic events,
including acts of terrorism, resulting from operating hazards and risks incidental to generating
and distributing electricity and transporting, storing and distributing natural gas, propane and
other LPG; (12) political, regulatory and economic conditions in the United States and in foreign
countries, including foreign currency rate fluctuations, particularly in the euro; (13) reduced
access to capital markets and interest rate fluctuations; (14) reduced distributions from
subsidiaries; and (15) the timing and success of the Companys efforts to develop new business
opportunities.
These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or
unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results. We undertake no
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.
ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following analyses compare our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008
(2008 three-month period) with the three months ended June 30, 2007 (2007 three-month period)
and the nine months ended June 30, 2008 (2008 nine-month period) with the nine months ended June
30, 2007 (2007 nine-month period). Our analyses of results of operations should be read in
conjunction with the segment information included in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Executive Overview
Because most of our businesses sell energy products used in large part for heating purposes, our
results are significantly influenced by temperatures in our service territories, particularly
during the peak-heating season months of November through March. As a result, our earnings are
generally higher in the first and second fiscal quarters. In addition, high and volatile commodity
prices like those experienced by our domestic and international businesses over the last several
years and weak economic conditions can result in lower customer consumption and increased
competitive pressures in certain markets.
Net income for the 2008 three-month period increased to $15.7 million from $11.5 million in the
prior year principally as a result of better International Propane results and, to a lesser extent,
greater income from Energy Services. International Propanes results benefited from spring
temperatures that were cooler than in the prior-year three-month period, although nearly 15% warmer
than normal. Energy Services recorded higher total margin in the 2008 three-month period
principally from increased electric generation results due in large part to higher electricity unit
margins and changes in the fair value of electricity transmission-related financial instruments
used to hedge certain transmission costs associated with fixed-price electricity sales contracts.
Temperatures in our Gas Utility and Electric Utility service territories were warmer than normal
and the prior-year three-month period particularly during the early spring heating season. In our
Gas Utility, the warmer early spring weather as well as continued customer conservation resulting
from high natural gas prices more than offset the effects of year-over-year growth in the number of
Gas Utility core market customers. Gas Utilitys core market customers principally comprise firm-
residential, commercial and industrial (retail core-market) customers, who purchase their gas
from Gas Utility and, to a much lesser extent, residential and small commercial and industrial
(core market transportation) customers who purchase their gas from alternate suppliers.
Net income for the 2008 nine-month period increased to $221.8 million from $193.6 million in the
prior year principally as a result of better Energy Services and Gas Utility results and, to a
lesser extent, better U.S. dollar-denominated International Propane results. Energy Services
experienced higher total margin in the 2008 nine-month period particularly from higher total
electric generation margin and greater income from peaking supply and storage management services.
During the 2008 nine-month period, temperatures in our International Propane operations were warmer
than normal but colder than the record-setting warm temperatures experienced during the prior-year
period. Temperatures in AmeriGas Propanes service territory in the 2008 nine-month period were
warmer than normal but slightly colder than in the prior year. In our International Propane
operations, the beneficial effects from the weather-related increase in volumes were offset by a
decline in average retail unit margin due to significantly higher LPG commodity costs and increased
competition in certain customer segments at Antargaz. Although Flagas wholly owned operations
performed better than the prior year, Flagas central European ZLH joint venture results, which
were not material to the Companys fiscal 2008 results, continued to reflect the effects of
significantly lower volumes and lower total margin due to customer conservation and competition
from alternative fuels and other suppliers caused in large part by high and increasing LPG
commodity costs. To a much lesser extent, AmeriGas Propanes sales volumes have also been affected
by price-induced conservation due to extraordinarily high propane product costs. Additionally, each
of our domestic businesses and, to a lesser extent our International Propane operations, have been
negatively affected by general economic conditions.

The U.S. dollar versus the euro was weaker in fiscal 2008 than in fiscal 2007. Although the weaker
dollar resulted in higher translated International Propane operating results, the effects of the
weaker
dollar on reported International Propane net income were substantially offset by the effects of
fiscal 2008 losses on forward currency contracts used to hedge purchases of dollar-denominated LPG.

Partnership EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and

Deviation from average heating degree-days for the 30-year period 1971-2000 based upon
national weather statistics provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) for 335 airports in the United States, excluding Alaska. |
Based upon heating degree-day data, average temperatures in AmeriGas Propanes service territories
were 1.8% colder than normal during the 2008 three-month period compared with temperatures in the
prior-year period that were 6.1% warmer than normal. Notwithstanding the cooler 2008 three-month
period weather and the full period benefits of acquisitions made in fiscal 2007, retail gallons
sold were about equal to the prior-year period reflecting, among other things, customer
conservation in response to increasing propane product costs and a
weaker economy. The average
wholesale propane cost at Mont Belvieu, Texas for the 2008 three-month period increased
approximately 50% over such average cost for the same period last year.

UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Retail propane revenues increased $90.3 million reflecting a $92.9 million increase due to the
higher average selling prices partially offset by a $2.6 million decrease as a result of the lower
retail volumes sold. Wholesale propane revenues increased $9.2 million reflecting a $10.0 million
increase from higher wholesale selling prices partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease from
lower wholesale volumes sold. Total cost of sales increased $90.9 million to $363.0 million
reflecting the effects of the higher propane product costs.
Total margin was $10.4 million greater in the 2008 three-month period principally reflecting higher
average propane margins per retail gallon sold and, to a lesser extent, higher fee and service
income.
Partnership EBITDA during the 2008 three-month period was $29.7 million, slightly lower than the
prior-year period. The previously mentioned increase in total margin was more than offset by a
$10.3 million increase in operating and administrative expenses and, to a lesser extent, lower
other income. Operating and administrative expenses increased due in large part to expenses
associated with acquisitions, increased vehicle fuel and maintenance expenses and the effects of
greater reduction in general insurance liabilities recorded in the prior year.
AmeriGas Propane operating income decreased $2.5 million reflecting the $1.2 million reduction in
Partnership EBITDA and higher depreciation and amortization expense associated with acquisitions
and plant and equipment expenditures made since the prior year.

Deviation from average heating degree days for the 30-year period 1971-2000 at more than 30

Based upon heating degree day data, temperatures in Antargaz service territory were approximately
14.8% warmer than normal during the 2008 three-month period compared with temperatures that were
approximately 44.3% warmer than normal during the prior-year period. Temperatures in Flagas
service territory were also warmer than normal and colder than the prior year. Antargaz 2008
three-month period retail volumes benefited from the colder weather. The beneficial volume effects
resulting from the colder weather were partially offset by some customer conservation in response
to significantly higher LPG commodity costs, the loss of a low-margin industrial customer and a
weaker economy. The average wholesale price for propane in northwest Europe during the 2008
three-month period was approximately 52% higher than the average wholesale price in the same period
last year.

Our International Propane base-currency results are translated into U.S dollars based upon exchange
rates experienced during each of the reporting periods. During the 2008 three-month period, the
average currency translation rate was $1.56 per euro compared to a rate of $1.35 per euro during
the prior-year period. The weaker U.S. dollar did not have a material effect on year-over-year
three-month period International Propane net income.
International propane euro-based revenues increased 39.2 million reflecting higher average
selling prices and, to a lesser extent, the higher retail gallons sold. The higher average selling
prices reflect the previously mentioned year-over-year increase in wholesale LPG product costs.
International Propanes total cost of sales increased to 82.5 million in the 2008 three-month
period from 49.9 million in the prior year largely reflecting the higher per-unit LPG commodity
costs and the greater volumes sold.
International Propane total margin increased 6.6 million or 11.1% in the 2008 three-month
period reflecting greater margin from the higher retail volumes sold and slightly higher average
retail unit margin per gallon. In U.S. dollars, total margin increased $22.9 million or 28.4%
reflecting the effects of the weaker dollar on translated euro base-currency revenues and cost of
sales.
International Propane operating income increased 6.2 million principally reflecting the
previously mentioned increase in total margin. On a U.S. dollar basis, operating income increased
$10.4 million as the previously-mentioned increase in U.S. dollar-denominated total margin was
partially offset by higher U.S. dollar-denominated operating expenses and depreciation and
amortization. Euro-based income before income taxes was 6.2 million higher than in the prior
year principally reflecting the higher operating income. In U.S. dollars, income before income
taxes increased $9.5 million reflecting the higher dollar-denominated operating income and the
effects of the weaker dollar on translated interest expense. Although Flagas wholly owned
operations performed better than the prior year, Flagas central European ZLH joint venture
results, which were not material to the Companys fiscal 2008 results, continued to reflect the
effects of significantly lower volumes and lower total margin due to customer conservation and
competition from alternative fuels and other suppliers caused in large part by high and increasing
LPG commodity costs.

Temperatures in the Gas Utility service territory based upon heating degree days were 4.3% warmer
than normal compared with temperatures that were 3.8% colder than normal in the prior-year period.
Temperatures were particularly warmer during the early spring heating season. Total distribution
throughput decreased 2.0 bcf in the 2008 three-month period reflecting the effects of the warmer
2008 three-month period weather, price-induced customer conservation and general economic
conditions
offset by higher volumes delivered to low-margin cogeneration delivery service customers and
year-over-year growth in the number of Gas Utility customers.

UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Gas Utility revenues increased $16.3 million principally reflecting a $25.6 million increase in
revenues from off-system sales partially offset by lower core market revenues. Core market revenues
were lower in the 2008 three-month period as the revenue effects of the lower core market volumes
were partially offset by the effects of higher average retail core-market purchased gas cost
(PGC) rates. Increases or decreases in retail core-market revenues and cost of sales principally
result from changes in retail core-market volumes and the level of gas costs collected through the
PGC recovery mechanism. Under the PGC recovery mechanism, Gas Utility records the cost of gas
associated with sales to retail core-market customers at amounts included in PGC rates. The
difference between actual gas costs and the amounts included in rates is deferred on the balance
sheet as a regulatory asset or liability and represents amounts to be collected from or refunded to
customers in a future period. As a result of this PGC recovery mechanism, increases or decreases
in the cost of gas associated with retail core-market customers have no direct effect on retail
core-market margin. Deferred fuel refunds included on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at
June 30, 2008 principally reflect the effects of significantly higher unrealized gains on natural
gas futures contracts. Gas Utilitys cost of gas was $147.4 million in the 2008 three-month period
compared with $128.2 million in the 2007 three-month period principally reflecting the increase in
off-system sales and the higher average retail core-market PGC rates reduced by the effects of the
lower retail core-market sales.
Gas Utility total margin decreased $2.9 million principally reflecting a $3.7 million decrease in
core market margin partially offset by greater delivery service and other margin.
The decrease in Gas Utility operating income principally reflects the previously mentioned lower
total margin and slightly higher total operating and administrative expenses. Income before income
taxes also decreased reflecting the lower operating income partially offset by lower interest
expense.

Total margin represents total revenues less total cost of sales and revenue-related taxes,
i.e. Electric Utility gross receipts taxes, of $1.9 million and $1.7 million during the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For financial statement
purposes, revenue-related taxes are included in Utility taxes other than income taxes on the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. |
Electric Utilitys kilowatt-hour sales in the 2008 three-month period were slightly lower than in
the prior year due primarily to weather that was 6.2% warmer. Electric Utility revenues increased
$3.0 million principally as a result of higher Provider of Last Resort (POLR) rates and, to a
lesser extent, greater revenues from spot market sales of electricity. In accordance with the
terms of its June 2006 POLR Settlement, Electric Utility increased its POLR rates effective January
1, 2008. This increase raised the average cost to a residential heating customer by approximately
5.5% over costs in effect during calendar year 2007. Electric Utility cost of sales increased to
$17.7 million in the 2008 three-month period from $15.2 million in the prior year principally
reflecting higher per-unit purchased power costs
partially offset by the lower sales and gains from financial transmission rights (FTRs) as
further described below.
- 26 -
UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Electric Utility total margin increased $0.3 million during the 2008 three-month period principally
reflecting $1.6 million of realized gains from the sale of FTRs and $0.7 million of unrealized
gains from changes in the fair value of FTRs substantially offset by higher per-unit purchased
power costs. FTRs are financial instruments that entitle the holder to receive compensation for
congestion charges that result when there is insufficient electricity transmission capacity on the
electricity transmission grid. Electric Utility obtains FTRs through an annual PJM Interconnection
(PJM) auction process involving the use of PJM allocated auction revenue rights (ARRs) and, to
a lesser extent, from purchases through monthly PJM auctions. PJM is a regional transmission
organization (RTO) that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in all or parts of 14
eastern and midwestern states. During the 2008 three-month period, Electric Utility sold FTRs it
obtained through the use of allocated ARRs but does not need to hedge transmission congestion
charges and retained FTRs that economically hedge congestion associated with its service
obligations. Although FTRs are economically effective as hedges of congestion charges, they do not
currently qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, FTRs are recorded at fair value with
changes in fair value reflected in earnings. The realized and unrealized gains on FTRs have been
included in cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Electric Utility operating income and income before income taxes in the 2008 three-month period
were about equal to the prior year reflecting the higher total margin offset by slightly higher
operating and administrative costs.

Total margin represents total revenues less total cost of sales. |
Notwithstanding retail gas volumes in the 2008 three-month period that were slightly lower than in
the prior-year three-month period, Energy Services revenues increased $82.1 million principally
reflecting the effects on revenues of higher natural gas and propane product costs and higher
market prices for electricity.
Total margin from Energy Services increased $3.2 million in the 2008 three-month period reflecting
greater total margin from electric generation and retail electricity sales and, to a much lesser
extent, peaking and asset management activities. These increases in total margin were partially
offset by lower natural gas total margin. The higher retail electricity and electric generation
margin principally resulted from higher spot-market and fixed contract prices for electricity and
$1.9 million of unrealized gains from increases in the estimated fair value of FTRs. Energy
Services purchases FTRs to economically hedge transmission congestion charges associated with its
fixed price electricity sales contracts. Although FTRs are considered derivative financial
instruments and economically hedge congestion charges, they do not currently qualify for hedge
accounting treatment. The unrealized gains on FTRs are included in cost of sales on the condensed
consolidated statements of income. The increase in Energy Services
operating income and income before income taxes principally reflects the previously mentioned
increase in total margin partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Partnership EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and
amortization) should not be considered as an alternative to net income (as an indicator of
operating performance) and is not a measure of performance or financial condition under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management uses
Partnership EBITDA as the primary measure of segment profitability for the AmeriGas Propane
segment (see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). |

Deviation from average heating degree-days for the 30-year period 1971-2000 based upon
national weather statistics provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) for 335 airports in the United States, excluding Alaska. |
Based upon heating degree-day data, average temperatures in AmeriGas Propanes service territories
were 2.7% warmer than normal compared with temperatures in the prior-year period that were 5.8%
warmer than normal. Notwithstanding the slightly colder 2008 nine-month period weather and the
benefits of acquisitions made in fiscal 2007, retail gallons sold were slightly lower reflecting,
among other things, customer conservation in response to increasing propane product costs and a
weak economy. The average wholesale propane cost at Mont Belvieu, Texas during the 2008 nine-month
period increased more than 50% over the average cost during the same period last year.
Retail propane revenues increased $385.7 million reflecting a $399.0 million increase due to the
higher average selling prices partially offset by a $13.3 million decrease as a result of the lower
retail volumes sold. Wholesale propane revenues increased $39.1 million reflecting a $45.2 million
increase from higher wholesale selling prices partially offset by a $6.1 million decrease from
lower wholesale volumes sold. Total cost of sales increased $384.2 million to $1,545.3 million in
the 2008 nine-month period reflecting higher propane product costs.
Total margin was $45.5 million greater in the 2008 nine-month period principally reflecting higher
average propane margins per retail gallon sold and, to a much lesser extent, higher fee income.
Partnership EBITDA during the 2008 nine-month period was $294.5 million, $14.1 million higher than
the prior-year period. The previously mentioned increase in total margin as well as a $2.5 million
increase in other income was partially offset by a $33.7 million increase in operating and
administrative expenses as a result of expenses associated with acquisitions, increased vehicle
fuel and maintenance expenses, greater general insurance expense and, to a lesser extent, higher
uncollectible accounts expenses attributable to the higher revenues.

AmeriGas Propane operating income increased $10.2 million reflecting the previously mentioned
greater EBITDA reduced by higher depreciation and amortization expense from acquisitions and plant
and equipment expenditures made since the prior year.

Deviation from average heating degree days for the 30-year period 1971-2000 at more than 30
locations in our French service territory. |
Based upon heating degree day data, temperatures in Antargaz service territory were approximately
5.1% warmer than normal during the 2008 nine-month period compared with temperatures that were
approximately 23.0% warmer than normal during the prior-year period. Temperatures in Flagas
service territory were also warmer than normal and significantly colder than the prior year.
Principally as a result of the colder weather, Antargaz retail volumes sold increased 11.3% to
250.2 million gallons from 224.8 million gallons in the prior year nine-month period. Flaga also
recorded higher retail gallons sold. The beneficial volume effects on Antargaz resulting from the
colder weather were partially offset by customer conservation in response to substantially higher
LPG commodity costs, the loss of a low-margin industrial customer and a weaker economy. The average
wholesale propane price for propane in northwest Europe for the 2008 nine-month period was more
than 58% higher than such average price in the same period last year.
During the 2008 nine-month period, the average currency translation rate was $1.51 per euro
compared to a rate of $1.32 during the prior-year period. However, the effects of the weaker dollar
on year-over-year nine-month period International Propane net income were substantially offset by
the impact of losses on forward currency contracts used to purchase dollar denominated LPG.
International propane euro-based revenues increased 126.0 million principally reflecting higher
Antargaz and Flaga average selling prices during the 2008 three-month period and the higher
Antargaz and Flaga retail volumes sold. International Propanes total cost of sales increased to
361.1 million in the 2008 nine-month period from 240.7 million in the prior year largely
reflecting the higher per-unit LPG commodity costs, the greater volumes sold and, to a much lesser
extent, higher losses on forward currency contracts.
International Propane total margin increased 5.6 million or 2.2% in the 2008 nine-month period
reflecting the effects of the greater retail sales of LPG substantially offset by a decline in
average retail
unit margin per gallon primarily due to the significantly higher LPG commodity costs and increased
competition in certain customer segments at Antargaz. In U.S. dollars, total margin increased $55.3
million or 16.3% reflecting the effects of the weaker dollar on translated euro base-currency
revenues and cost of sales.
- 29 -
UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
International Propane operating income decreased 1.1 million principally reflecting the
previously mentioned increase in total margin more than offset by higher operating and
administrative expenses, due in large part to the effects of the increased sales activity and fuel
costs on operating expenses, and higher depreciation and amortization on capital additions. On a
U.S. dollar basis, operating income increased $12.2 million as the previously-mentioned increase in
U.S. dollar denominated total margin was substantially offset by higher U.S. dollar denominated
operating and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expense. Euro-based income
before income taxes was 1.7 million lower than last year primarily reflecting the lower
operating income. In U.S. dollars, income before income taxes was $8.5 million higher than the
prior year reflecting the higher operating income slightly offset by greater U.S. dollar translated
interest expense.

Temperatures in the Gas Utility service territory based upon heating degree days were 5.0% warmer
than normal compared with temperatures that were 4.3% warmer than normal in the prior-year period.
Total distribution throughput increased 3.8 bcf in the 2008 nine-month period principally
reflecting greater interruptible delivery service volumes, principally volumes associated with low
margin cogeneration customers, and an increase in the number of Gas Utility core market customers
partially offset by lower average usage per customer due in large part to price-induced customer
conservation and a weak economy.
Gas Utility revenues increased $86.3 million principally reflecting the effects of higher average
PGC rates on retail core-market revenues and a $57.7 million increase in revenues from off-system
sales. Gas Utilitys cost of sales was $739.3 million in the 2008 nine-month period compared with
$656.2 million in the 2007 nine-month period principally reflecting the increase in retail
core-market PGC rates and the greater off-system sales.
Gas Utility total margin increased $3.2 million primarily reflecting slight increases in
interruptible delivery service and core market total margin.
The increase in Gas Utility operating income principally reflects the previously mentioned increase
in total margin and a $3.4 million increase in other income partially offset by slightly higher
operating and
administrative expenses. The higher other income reflects in large part greater storage contract
fees. Gas Utility income before income taxes also reflects slightly lower interest expense.

three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For financial statement
purposes, revenue-related taxes are included in Utility taxes other than income taxes on the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. |
Electric Utilitys kilowatt-hour sales in the 2008 nine-month period were about equal to the prior
year on heating season weather that was slightly warmer than in the prior year. Electric Utility
revenues increased $13.7 million principally as a result of higher POLR rates. Electric Utility
cost of sales increased to $59.6 million in the 2008 nine-month period from $48.2 million in the
prior year principally reflecting higher per-unit purchased power costs partially offset by $1.6
million of gains from the sale of FTRs and $0.7 million of unrealized gains from changes in the
fair value of FTRs.
Electric Utility total margin increased $1.4 million during the 2008 nine-month period reflecting
the effects of the higher POLR rates and the previously mentioned realized and unrealized gains on
FTRs partially offset by the higher per-unit purchased power costs and higher revenue-related
taxes.
The increase in Electric Utility operating income and income before income taxes in the 2008
nine-month period reflects the higher total margin partially offset by slightly higher operating
and administrative costs. Income before income taxes reflects the higher operating income as well
as lower interest expense.

Notwithstanding retail gas volumes in the 2008 nine-month period that were approximately equal to
the prior-year period, Energy Services revenues increased $165.5 million principally reflecting the
effects of higher commodity costs for propane and natural gas, higher electricity spot-market and
fixed contract prices and higher revenues from peaking supply services.
- 31 -
UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Total margin from Energy Services was $22.4 million higher in the 2008 nine-month period reflecting
greater total margin from peaking supply services due in part to the expansion of peaking
facilities and higher peaking rates charged, higher electric generation margin resulting in large
part from higher spot
market and fixed contract prices for electricity and unrealized gains of $1.9 million associated
with changes in the fair value of FTRs, and greater margin from asset management activities. The
increase in Energy Services operating income and income before income taxes principally reflects
the previously mentioned increase in total margin partially offset by slightly higher operating and
administrative expenses.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Financial Condition
Our cash and cash equivalents not subject to restriction totaled $272.2 million at June 30, 2008
compared with $251.8 million at September 30, 2007. Excluding cash and cash equivalents at UGIs
operating subsidiaries, at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 we had $190.3 million and $106.4
million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents not subject to restriction.

AmeriGas OLPs Credit Agreement is currently scheduled to expire in October 2011 and consists of
(1) a $125 million Revolving Credit Facility and (2) a $75 million Acquisition Facility. The
Revolving Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general purposes of AmeriGas OLP.
The Acquisition Facility provides AmeriGas OLP with the ability to borrow up to $75 million to
finance the purchase of propane businesses or propane business assets or, to the extent it is not
so used, for working capital and general purposes. AmeriGas OLPs short-term borrowing needs are
seasonal and are typically greatest during the fall and winter heating-season months due to the
need to fund higher levels of working capital.
At June 30, 2008, there were $26 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
Issued and outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, which reduce the
amount available for borrowings, totaled $44.4 million at June 30, 2008. During the 2008 nine-month
period, the average daily and peak borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $47.4
million and $101 million, respectively. During the 2007 nine-month period, the average daily and
peak borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $2.0 million and $92.0 million,
respectively.
Antargaz has a Senior Facilities Agreement that expires on March 31, 2011. The Senior Facilities
Agreement consists of (1) a 380 million variable-rate term loan and (2) a 50 million
revolving credit facility. Antargaz has executed interest rate swap agreements to fix the
underlying euribor or libor rate for the duration of the term loan. Antargaz had no amounts
outstanding under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2008.
UGI Utilities has a $350 million Revolving Credit Agreement which expires in August 2011. At June
30, 2008, UGI Utilities had $30 million in borrowings outstanding under its Revolving Credit
Agreement. Borrowings under its Revolving Credit Agreement are classified as bank loans on the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the 2008 and 2007 nine-month periods, average daily
bank loan borrowings were $134.7 million and $173.4 million, respectively, and peak bank loan
borrowings totaled $267 million and $259 million, respectively. Peak bank loan borrowings typically
occur during the peak heating season months of December and January. UGI Utilities also has
effective shelf registration statements with the SEC and authority from the PUC to issue
Medium-Term Notes from time-to-time. In January 2008, UGI Utilities issued $20 million of
Medium-term Notes bearing interest at a rate of 5.67%. The proceeds from the issuance of the $20
million of debt were used to reduce borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement. UGI
Utilities has authority from the PUC to issue an additional $35 million of Medium-Term Notes.
Energy Services has a receivables purchase facility (Receivables Facility) with an issuer of
receivables-backed commercial paper expiring in April 2009. The maximum level of funding available
at any one time from this facility is $200 million. Under the Receivables Facility, Energy
Services transfers, on an ongoing basis and without recourse, its trade accounts receivable to its
wholly owned, special purpose subsidiary, Energy Services Funding Corporation (ESFC), which is
consolidated for financial statement purposes. ESFC, in turn, has sold, and subject to certain
conditions, may from time to time sell, an undivided interest in some or all of the receivables to
a commercial paper conduit of a major bank. ESFC was created and has been structured to isolate
its assets from creditors of Energy Services and its affiliates, including UGI. This two-step
transaction is accounted for as a sale of receivables following the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. Energy Services continues to service,
administer and collect trade receivables on behalf of the commercial paper issuer and ESFC. During
the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, Energy Services sold trade receivables totaling
$1,145.2 million and $1,011.0 million, respectively, to ESFC. During the nine months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, ESFC sold an aggregate $95.5 million and $433.5 million, respectively, of
undivided interests in its trade receivables to the commercial paper conduit. At June 30, 2008,
the outstanding balance of ESFC receivables was $132.1 million of which no amounts were sold to the
commercial paper conduit. At June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance of ESFC receivables was $90.4
million which is net of $5.5 million that was sold to the commercial paper conduit.

16 million,
half of which is guaranteed by UGI. The total amount outstanding
under the facilities at June 30, 2008 was
15.5 million
($24.4 million).
At June 30, 2008, the amount of net assets of UGIs consolidated subsidiaries that was restricted
from transfer under borrowing arrangements, subsidiary partnership agreements and regulatory
requirements under foreign laws totaled approximately $1,300 million.
On April 29, 2008, UGIs Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend rate on
Common Stock to $0.1925 per common share equal to $0.77 per common share on an annual basis.
Previously the quarterly dividend rate was $0.185 per common share equal to $0.74 per common share
on an annual basis. The new quarterly dividend rate was effective with the dividend paid on July 1,
2008 to shareholders of record on June 16, 2008. On April 28, 2008, AmeriGas Propanes Board of
Directors approved an increase in AmeriGas Partners quarterly distribution rate on Common Units to
$0.64 per Common Unit equal to an annual rate of $2.56 per Common Unit. Previously the quarterly
distribution rate was $0.61 per Common Unit. The new quarterly rate was effective with the
distribution paid on May 18, 2008 to unitholders of record on May 9, 2008.
The U.S. dollar was weaker at June 30, 2008, than it was at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007,
increasing the translated levels of our non-U.S. dollar International Propane assets and
liabilities. Additionally, on average the U.S. dollar was weaker in the 2008 three and nine-month
periods than in the comparable prior-year periods.
Cash Flows
Operating
Activities. Due to the seasonal nature of the Companys businesses, cash flows from
operating activities are generally strongest during the second and third fiscal quarters when
customers pay for natural gas, LPG, electricity and other energy products consumed during the
heating season months. Conversely, operating cash flows are generally at their lowest levels
during the first and fourth fiscal quarters when the Companys investment in working capital,
principally accounts receivable and inventories, is generally greatest. AmeriGas Propane and UGI
Utilities primarily use borrowings under their respective credit agreements to satisfy their
seasonal operating cash flow needs. Energy Services uses its Receivables Facility to satisfy its
operating cash flow needs. Antargaz has historically been successful funding its operating cash
flow needs without the use of its revolving credit facility.
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $352.0 million in the 2008 nine-month period
compared with $356.8 million in the 2007 nine-month period. Cash flow from operating activities
before changes in operating working capital was $486.4 million in the 2008 nine-month period
compared with $485.7 million in the prior-year nine-month period. Changes in operating working
capital used $134.4 million of cash from operating activities in the 2008 nine-month period,
slightly higher than the $128.9 million of cash used for changes in operating working capital in
the prior-year period. The higher cash used in the 2008 nine-month period principally reflects the
impact of the timing of and increases in LPG and natural gas prices on cash receipts from customers
as reflected in the greater 2008 nine-month period increase in accounts receivable and accrued
utility revenues and the timing of and increases in LPG and natural
gas prices on cash provided by changes in inventories. These greater
net uses of cash were substantially offset by the timing of
cash recoveries in excess of purchase gas costs through Gas
Utilitys PGC recovery mechanism including settled gains on
natural gas futures contracts as
well as the effects of timing of payments and increased purchase price per gallon of LPG on
accounts payable.

UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Investing
Activities. Investing activity cash flow is principally affected by capital expenditures
and investments in property, plant and equipment, cash paid for acquisitions of businesses, changes
in restricted cash balances and proceeds from sales of assets. Net cash used in investing
activities was $139.7 million in the 2008 nine-month period compared to net cash used of $167.6
million in the prior-year nine-month period which is net of a $23.7 million working capital
payment received from
Southern Union Company (SU) by UGI Utilities associated with UGI Utilities August 2006
acquisition of the PG Energy Division of SU. Excluding the effect of this working capital payment
received in the prior year, cash flow used by investing activities decreased $51.6 million
principally reflecting lower cash expenditures for acquisitions, changes in restricted cash in
natural gas futures brokerage accounts and greater cash proceeds from disposals of assets.
Financing
Activities. Cash flow used by financing activities was $203.2 million in the 2008
nine-month period compared with $209.6 million in the prior-year nine-month period. Financing
activity cash flows are primarily due to issuances and repayments of long-term debt, net bank loan
borrowings, dividends and distributions on UGI Common Stock and AmeriGas Partners Common Units, and
proceeds from issuances of equity instruments. Due to the need to fund the previously mentioned
increases in working capital during the 2008 nine-month period, cash flow used by financing
activities during the 2008 nine-month period is net of greater AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement
borrowings. Also during the 2008 nine-month period, UGI Utilities issued $20 million of Medium-Term
Notes the proceeds of which were used to reduce borrowings under its
Revolving Credit Agreement.
We paid cash dividends on UGI Common Stock of $60.2 million and $57.1 million during the 2008 and
2007 nine-month periods, respectively. During the 2008 and 2007 nine-month periods, the
Partnership declared and paid quarterly distributions to the holders of its limited partner units
owned by the public totaling $60.2 million and $57.2 million, respectively.
Adoption of FIN 48
Effective October 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), which provides a comprehensive model for
the recognition, measurement and disclosure in financial statements of uncertain income tax
positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. Under FIN 48, a company can
recognize the benefit of an income tax position only if it is more likely than not (likelihood
greater than 50%) that the tax position will be sustained upon tax examination, based solely on the
technical merits of the tax position. Otherwise, no benefit can be recognized. Additionally,
companies are required to accrue interest and related penalties, if applicable, on all tax
exposures for which reserves have been established consistent with jurisdictional tax laws. Any
cumulative effect from the adoption of FIN 48 is recorded as an adjustment to opening retained
earnings. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, effective October 1, 2007 we recorded a non-cash
reduction to retained earnings of $1.2 million. For a more detailed description of the effects of
the adoption of FIN 48 and additional information associated with our accounting for income taxes,
see Note 1 to condensed consolidated financial statements.
French Business Tax
The French tax authorities levy taxes on legal entities and individuals regularly operating a
business in France which are commonly referred to collectively as business tax. The amount of
business tax charged annually is generally dependent upon the value of certain of the entitys
tangible fixed assets. Changes in the French governments interpretation of the tax laws or in the
tax laws themselves could adversely or favorably affect our results of operations.

Proposed Acquisition of PPL Gas Utilities and Penn Fuel
On March 5, 2008, UGI Utilities signed a definitive agreement to acquire all of the issued and
outstanding stock of PPL Gas Utilities Corporation (PPL Gas), the natural gas distribution
utility of PPL Corporation (PPL) (the Acquisition), for approximately $268 million plus
working capital. Immediately after the closing, UGI Utilities intends to sell the assets of PPL
Gas wholly owned subsidiary Penn Fuel Propane, LLC (Penn Fuel), its retail propane distributor,
to AmeriGas OLP for cash consideration. PPL Gas distributes natural gas to
approximately 75,000 customers in 35 counties in eastern and central Pennsylvania, and also
distributes natural gas to several hundred customers in portions of one Maryland county. Penn Fuel
sells approximately 15 million gallons of propane annually to more than 30,000 customers in
eastern Pennsylvania. UGI Utilities expects to fund the acquisition of PPL Gas and Penn Fuel with
a combination of cash on the balance sheet contributed by UGI and long-term debt issued by UGI
Utilities.
The Acquisition has been approved by the Maryland Public Service Commission and is pending
approval by the PUC. The Acquisition is currently expected to close on or about September 30,
2008.
Electric Utility Regulatory Matters
As a result of Pennsylvanias Electricity Generation Customer Choice and Competition Act that
became effective January 1, 1997, all of Electric Utilitys customers are permitted to acquire
their electricity from entities other than Electric Utility. Electric Utility remains the provider
of last resort (POLR) for its customers that are not served by an alternate electric generation
provider. The terms and conditions under which Electric Utility provides POLR service, and rules
governing the rates that may be charged for such service, have been established in a series of PUC
approved settlements, the latest of which became effective June 23, 2006 (collectively, the POLR
Settlement).
In accordance with PUC default service regulations effective September 15, 2007, Electric Utility
filed default service procurement, implementation and contingency plans with the PUC on February
12, 2008. These plans, as modified by the terms of a May 2, 2008 settlement (May 2 Settlement),
were approved on July 17, 2008, and do not affect Electric Utilitys existing POLR settlement
effective through December 31, 2009. The approved plans specify how Electric Utility will solicit
and acquire default service supplies for residential customers for the period of January 1, 2010
through May 31, 2014, and for commercial and industrial customers for the period of January 1, 2010
through May 31, 2011 (collectively the Settlement Term). Consistent with the May 2 Settlement,
UGI Utilities will file a rate plan specifying how it will recover default service costs incurred
for the Settlement Term on or before September 1, 2008. Under applicable statutory standards,
Electric Utility is entitled to fully recover its default service costs.

AmeriGas OLP Environmental Matter
By letter dated March 6, 2008, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC)
notified AmeriGas OLP that DEC had placed property owned by the Partnership in Saranac Lake, New
York on its Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites. A site characterization study
performed by DEC disclosed contamination related to former manufactured gas plant operations on the
site. DEC has classified the site as a significant threat to public health or environment with
further action required. The Partnership is researching the history of the site and is
investigating DECs findings. The General Partner has reviewed the preliminary site
characterization study prepared by the DEC and is in the early stages of investigating the extent
of contamination and the possible existence of other potentially responsible parties. Due to the
early stage of such investigation, an estimate of possible loss cannot be made. It is reasonably
possible that such estimate of possible loss could be material to the Companys results of
operations.
AmeriGas Partners Pending Asset Sale
On July 30, 2008, AmeriGas OLP signed a definitive agreement to sell its 600,000 barrel
refrigerated, above-ground storage facility located on leased property in California for
approximately $43.0 million in cash. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and
is expected to close approximately sixty to ninety days after July 30, 2008. Upon closing, UGI
expects to record an after-tax gain of approximately $11.0 million associated with this
transaction.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our primary market risk exposures are (1) market prices for propane and other LPG, natural gas and
electricity; (2) changes in interest rates; and (3) foreign currency exchange rates.
The risk associated with fluctuations in the prices the Partnership and our International Propane
operations pay for LPG is principally a result of market forces reflecting changes in supply and
demand for propane and other energy commodities. Their profitability is sensitive to changes in LPG
supply costs. Increases in supply costs are generally passed on to customers. The Partnership and
International Propane may not, however, always be able to pass through product cost increases fully
or on a timely basis, particularly when product costs rise rapidly. In order to reduce the
volatility of LPG market price risk, the Partnership uses contracts for the forward purchase or
sale of propane, propane fixed-price supply agreements, and over-the-counter derivative commodity
instruments including price swap and option contracts and Antargaz hedges a portion of its future
U.S. dollar denominated LPG product purchases through the use of forward foreign exchange
contracts. Antargaz has entered and may, from time to time, enter into other contracts, similar to
those used by the Partnership, to reduce volatility in propane product costs. Flaga has used and
may use derivative commodity instruments to reduce market risk associated with a portion of its
propane purchases. Currently, Antargaz and Flagas hedging activities are not material to the
Companys financial position or results of operations. Over-the-counter derivative commodity
instruments utilized to hedge forecasted purchases of propane are generally settled at expiration
of the contract. In order to minimize credit risk associated with its derivative commodity
contracts, the Partnership monitors established credit limits with the contract counterparties.
Although we use derivative financial and commodity instruments to reduce market price risk
associated with forecasted transactions, we do not use derivative financial and commodity
instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Gas Utilitys tariffs contain clauses that permit recovery of substantially all of the prudently
incurred costs of natural gas it sells to its customers. The recovery clauses provide for a
periodic adjustment for the difference between the total amounts actually collected from customers
through PGC rates and the recoverable costs incurred. Because of this ratemaking mechanism, there
is limited commodity price risk associated with Gas Utility operations. Gas Utility uses
derivative financial instruments including exchange-traded natural gas futures contracts to reduce
volatility in the cost of gas it purchases for its retail core-market customers. The cost of these
derivative financial instruments, net of any associated gains or losses, is included in Gas
Utilitys PGC recovery mechanism. Changes in market value of these contracts
may require cash deposits in margin accounts with brokers. At June 30, 2008, Gas Utility had no
restricted cash associated with natural gas futures accounts with brokers.
- 37 -
UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Electric Utility purchases its electric power needs from electricity suppliers under fixed-price
energy and capacity contracts and, to a much lesser extent, on the spot market. Wholesale prices
for electricity can be volatile especially during periods of high demand or tight supply. In
accordance with POLR settlements approved by the PUC, Electric Utility may increase its POLR rates
up to certain limits through December 31, 2009. Electric Utilitys fixed-price contracts with
electricity suppliers mitigate most risks associated with the POLR service rate limits in effect
through December 2009. With respect to its existing fixed-price power contracts, should any of the
counterparties fail to provide electric power under the terms of such contracts, any increases in
the cost of replacement power could negatively impact Electric Utility results. In order to reduce
this nonperformance risk, Electric Utility has diversified its purchases across several suppliers
and entered into bilateral collateral arrangements with certain of them.
In order to manage market price risk relating to substantially all of Energy Services fixed-price
sales contracts for natural gas, Energy Services purchases exchange-traded and over-the-counter
natural gas futures contracts or enters into fixed-price supply arrangements. In addition, Energy
Services, to a much lesser extent, also enters into electricity futures contracts to manage market
risk associated with sales of electricity. Energy Services exchange-traded natural gas and
electricity futures contracts are guaranteed by the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and have
nominal credit risk. The change in market value of these contracts generally requires daily cash
deposits in margin accounts with brokers. At June 30, 2008, Energy Services had $4.3 million of
restricted cash on deposit in such margin accounts. Although Energy Services fixed-price supply
arrangements mitigate most risks associated with its fixed-price sales contracts, should any of the
natural gas suppliers under these arrangements fail to perform, increases, if any, in the cost of
replacement natural gas would adversely impact Energy Services results. In order to reduce this
risk of supplier nonperformance, Energy Services has diversified its purchases across a number of
suppliers.
UGID has entered into fixed-price sales agreements for a portion of the electricity expected to be
generated by its electric generation assets. In the event that these generation assets would not be
able to produce all of the electricity needed to supply electricity under these agreements, UGID
would be required to purchase such electricity on the spot market or under contract with other
electricity suppliers. Accordingly, increases in the cost of replacement power could negatively
impact the Companys results.
Electric Utility obtains FTRs through an annual PJM Interconnection (PJM) auction process
involving the use of PJM allocated auction revenue rights (ARRs) and, to a lesser extent, from
purchases through monthly PJM auctions. Energy Services purchases FTRs to economically hedge
congestion charges associated with its fixed price electricity sales contracts. FTRs are financial
instruments that entitle the holder to receive compensation for electricity transmission congestion
charges that result when there is insufficient electricity transmission capacity on the electricity
transmission grid. PJM is a regional transmission organization that coordinates the movement of
wholesale electricity in all or parts of 14 eastern and midwestern states. Although FTRs are
economically effective as hedges of congestion charges, they do not currently qualify for hedge
accounting treatment. Accordingly, FTRs are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value
reflected in earnings.
Asset Management has entered and may continue to enter into fixed-price sales agreements for a
portion of its propane sales. In order to manage the market price risk relating to substantially
all of its fixed-price sales contracts for propane, Asset Management enters into price swap and
option contracts.

UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
We have both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. Changes in interest rates impact the cash flows of
variable-rate debt but generally do not impact its fair value. Conversely, changes in interest
rates impact the fair value of fixed-rate debt but do not impact its cash flows.
Our variable-rate debt includes borrowings under AmeriGas OLPs Credit Agreement, UGI Utilities
revolving credit agreement and a substantial portion of Antargaz and Flagas debt. These debt
agreements have interest rates that are generally indexed to short-term market interest rates.
Antargaz has effectively fixed the underlying euribor interest rate on its variable-rate debt
through March 2011 and Flaga has fixed the underlying euribor interest rate on a substantial
portion of its term loan through September 2011 through the use of interest rate swaps. At June 30,
2008, combined borrowings outstanding under these agreements, excluding Antargaz and Flagas
effectively fixed-rate debt, totaled approximately $66.9 million. Our long-term debt is typically
issued at fixed rates of interest based upon market rates for debt having similar terms and credit
ratings. As these long-term debt issues mature, we may refinance such debt with new debt having
interest rates reflecting then-current market conditions. This debt may have an interest rate that
is more or less than the refinanced debt. In order to reduce interest rate risk associated with
near to medium term forecasted issuances of fixed-rate debt, from time to time we enter into
interest rate protection agreements.
Our primary exchange rate risk is associated with the U.S. dollar versus the euro. The U.S. dollar
value of our foreign-denominated assets and liabilities will fluctuate with changes in the
associated foreign currency exchange rates. We use derivative instruments to hedge portions of our
net investments in foreign subsidiaries (net investment hedges). Realized gains or losses remain
in other comprehensive income until such foreign operations are liquidated. At June 30, 2008, the
fair value of unsettled net investment hedges was a loss of $10.0 million, which is included in
foreign currency exchange rate risk in the table below. With respect to our net investments in
Flaga and Antargaz, a 10% decline in the value of the euro versus the U.S. dollar, excluding the
effects of any net investment hedges, would reduce their aggregate net book value by approximately
$63.9 million, which amount would be reflected in other comprehensive income.
The following table summarizes the fair values of unsettled market risk sensitive derivative
instruments held at June 30, 2008. Fair values reflect the estimated amounts that we would receive
or (pay) to terminate the contracts at the reporting date based upon quoted market prices of
comparable contracts at June 30, 2008. The table also includes the changes in fair value that
would result if there were a 10% adverse change in (1) the market price of propane; (2) the market
price of natural gas; (3) changes in the market value of FTRs; (4) the three-month LIBOR and the
three- and nine-month Euribor and; (5) the value of the euro versus the U.S. dollar. Gas Utilitys
exchange-traded natural gas futures contracts are excluded from the table below because any
associated net gains or losses are included in Gas Utilitys PGC recovery mechanism. Energy
Services electricity futures contracts were not material.

UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Because
our derivative instruments, other than FTRs, generally qualify as hedges under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, we
expect that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments used to manage commodity, currency
or interest rate market risk would be substantially offset by gains or losses on the associated
anticipated transactions.

Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
report were designed and functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the
information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and
(ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. |

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Consolidated
Edison Company of New York v. UGI Utilities, Inc. On September 20, 2001,
Consolidated Edison Company of New York (ConEd) filed suit against UGI Utilities in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking contribution
from UGI Utilities for an allocated share of response costs associated with investigating
and assessing gas plant related contamination at former MGP sites in Westchester County, New
York. The complaint alleges that UGI Utilities owned and operated the MGPs prior to 1904.
The complaint also seeks a declaration that UGI Utilities is responsible for an allocated
percentage of future investigative and remedial costs at the sites.
The trial court granted UGI Utilities motion for summary judgment and dismissed ConEds
complaint. The grant of summary judgment was entered April 1, 2004. ConEd appealed and on
September 9, 2005 a panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed in part and
reversed in part the decision of the trial court. The appellate panel affirmed the trial
courts decision dismissing claims that UGI Utilities was liable under CERCLA as an operator
of MGPs owned and operated by its former subsidiaries. The appellate panel reversed the
trial courts decision that UGI Utilities was released from liability at three sites where
UGI Utilities operated MGPs under lease. On October 7, 2005, UGI Utilities filed for
reconsideration of the panels order, which was denied by the Second Circuit Court of
Appeals on January 17, 2006. On April 14, 2006, Utilities filed a petition requesting that
the United States Supreme Court review the decision of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
On June 18, 2007, the United States Supreme Court denied UGI
Utilities petition. The case
was remanded back to the trial court. On June 17, 2008, UGI Utilities and ConEd agreed to a
settlement with respect to the three remaining sites. UGI Utilities obligations under the
settlement agreement did not have a material effect on the Companys operating results or
financial condition.
Antargaz Competition Authority Matter. In June 2005, officials from Frances General
Division of Competition, Consumption and Fraud Punishment (DGCCRF) conducted an unannounced
inspection of, and obtained documents from, Antargaz headquarters building. Management
believes that the DGCCRF performed similar unannounced inspections and document seizures at the
locations of other distributors of LPG in France, as well as the industry association, Comite
Francais du Butane et du Propane (CFBP). The DGCCRF apparently sought evidence of unlawful
anti-competitive activities affecting the packaged LPG (i.e., cylinder) business in northern
France.
Antargaz did not have any further contact with the DGCCRF regarding this matter until February
2007, when it received a letter from the DGCCRF requesting documents and information relating
to Antargaz pricing policies and practices. In March 2007, and again in August 2007, the
DGCCRF requested additional information from Antargaz and three joint ventures in which it
participates. Based on these requests, it appears that the DGCCRF has expanded the scope of its
investigation to include both bulk and cylinder markets throughout France.
Based on a March 2007 newspaper article, we believed that Frances Conseil de la Concurrence
(Competition Council) was conducting a related investigation regarding alleged concerted
behavior among certain distributors of LPG in France. The article stated that one of the
companies under investigation had applied for leniency, pursuant to the French law that allows
a company to offer evidence of anti-competitive behavior in exchange for partial or total
amnesty from financial sanctions. A company seeking leniency may present testimony or other
evidence of anti-competitive activities adverse to Antargaz interests. As part of any
investigation, the Competition Council and the DGCCRF may uncover information from other
sources, including customers, suppliers or employees of Antargaz and other LPG companies, that
may be adverse to Antargaz interests.
The existence of a related investigation by the Competition Council was recently confirmed. In
July 2008, the Competition Council interviewed Mr. Varagne, as President of Antargaz and
President of the CFBP, about competitive practices in the LPG cylinder market in France.
We do not believe Antargaz is in violation of Frances competition laws. Management intends to
continue to cooperate with the DGCCRF and the Competition Council investigations. At this time,
the French authorities have not made any claim against Antargaz. However, in the event a claim
is made against Antargaz and it is found to have violated the competition laws in France, it
would be subject to civil penalties up to a maximum of 10% of the total annual revenues of UGI.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the information presented below and the other information set forth in this
report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, which could materially
affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described below and in our
Annual Report on
Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Other unknown or unpredictable factors
could also have material adverse effects on future results.
UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
The expansion of our international business means that we will face increased risks, which
may negatively affect our business results.
Our acquisition of Antargaz in March of 2004 significantly increased our international
presence. As we continue to add new subsidiaries and enter into new joint ventures in countries
around the world, we face risks in doing business abroad that we do not face domestically. Certain
aspects inherent in transacting business internationally could negatively impact our operating
results, including:
|
|
|
costs and difficulties in staffing and managing international operations; |
|
|
|
|
tariffs and other trade barriers; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in enforcing contractual rights; |
|
|
|
|
longer payment cycles; |
|
|
|
|
local political and economic conditions; |
|
|
|
|
potentially adverse tax consequences, including restrictions on repatriating earnings and the threat of double taxation; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which can affect demand and increase our costs; and |
|
|
|
|
regulatory requirements and changes in regulatory requirements, including French and EU competition laws that may adversely
affect the terms of contracts with customers, and stricter regulations applicable to the storage and handling of LPG. |
In June 2005, officials from Frances General Division of Competition, Consumption and Fraud
Punishment (DGCCRF) conducted an unannounced inspection of, and obtained documents from,
Antargaz headquarters building. Management believes that the DGCCRF performed similar
unannounced inspections and document seizures at the locations of other distributors of LPG in

July 2008, the Competition Council interviewed Mr. Varagne, as President of Antargaz and
President of the CFBP, about competitive practices in the LPG cylinder market in France.
We do not believe Antargaz is in violation of Frances competition laws. Management intends to
continue to cooperate with the DGCCRF and the Competition Council investigations. At this time,
the French authorities have not made any claim against Antargaz. However, in the event a claim
is made against Antargaz and it is found to have violated the competition laws in France, it
would be subject to civil penalties up to a maximum of 10% of the total annual revenues of UGI.
