UGI International Divests LPG Distribution Business in Italy

UGI International, LLC (“UGI International”) today announced it has completed the divestiture of its LPG distribution business in Italy (“UniverGas”) to Goldengas S.p.A., SCG Gas S.p.A. part of Socogas Group, and Beyfin S.p.A., all three corporations that are in the Italian energy sector.

The transaction is part of the ongoing portfolio optimization efforts at UGI International, designed to focus resources on core markets where it can achieve superior operational results. Proceeds will be used primarily to support debt repayment at UGI Corporation, consistent with its capital allocation priorities.

Commenting on the divestiture, Julie Fazio, President of UGI International, said “We are strategically reshaping our portfolio to focus on markets where we have built significant market presence and operational expertise. By exiting this market, which has historically represented less than 5% of UGI International's EBIT1, we can concentrate our resources and investments to deliver the greatest value to our customers and stakeholders while maintaining our competitive position."
