(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts)
Our natural gas and electric distribution utility businesses are conducted through our
wholly owned subsidiary, UGI Utilities, Inc. and its subsidiary, UGI Penn Natural Gas, Inc.
(UGIPNG).
UGI Utilities, Inc. owns and operates (1) a natural gas distribution utility in eastern
Pennsylvania (UGI Gas), (2) a natural gas distribution utility in northeastern
Pennsylvania (PNG Gas) which was acquired effective August 24, 2006 (the PG Energy
Acquisition), and (3) an electric distribution utility in northeastern Pennsylvania
(Electric Utility). UGI Gas, PNG Gas (collectively, Gas Utility) and Electric Utility
are subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC). In addition, both UGI Utilities, Inc. and UGIPNG have
wholly-owned subsidiaries that operate heating, ventilation and air-conditioning services
businesses principally within their natural gas utilities service territories. The term
UGI Utilities is used sometimes as an abbreviated reference to UGI Utilities, Inc. or UGI
Utilities, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
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, 2006 condensed
consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does 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, 2006 (Companys 2006 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 representing cash deposited in our natural gas futures
accounts to satisfy margin requirements totaled $6.4, $14.2 and $10.4 at March 31, 2007,
September 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively.
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.

foreign currency translation adjustments.
Revenue-Related
Taxes. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
reached a consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted
to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross
versus Net Presentation) (EITF 06-3). EITF 06-3 addresses accounting policies disclosure
with respect to revenue-related taxes beginning with financial reports for interim or annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The scope of EITF 06-3 includes any
tax assessed by a governmental authority that is imposed concurrent with or subsequent to a
revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer. EITF 06-3 provides that
entities may adopt a policy of presenting such taxes in the income statement either on a
gross basis within revenue or on a net basis. If such taxes are significant, and are
presented on the income statement on a gross basis, the amounts of those taxes should also
be disclosed. As a result of adopting this EITF, we are providing disclosure of our existing
accounting policy and have not made any changes to that policy. We present revenue-related
taxes within the scope of EITF 06-3 on a net basis.
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.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2006, the FASB
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 156,
Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140
(SFAS 156). SFAS 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and
servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, unless it is impracticable to do
so. SFAS 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets
and servicing liabilities at fair value. Our adoption of SFAS 156 effective October 1, 2006
did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159)
which permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments at fair value that
are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Upon adoption, a cumulative
adjustment will be made to beginning retained earnings for the initial fair value option
remeasurement. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses for fair value option items will be
reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007 and should not be applied retrospectively, except as permitted for certain
conditions for early adoption. We are currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS 159.
On August 24, 2006, UGI Utilities acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of
Southern Union Companys (SUs) PG Energy Division, a natural gas distribution business
located in northeastern Pennsylvania, and all of the issued and outstanding stock of SUs
wholly-owned subsidiary, PG Energy Services, Inc., pursuant to a Purchase and Sale
Agreement, as amended, between SU and UGI dated January 26, 2006 (the Agreement). UGI
subsequently assigned its rights under the Agreement to UGI Utilities. On August 24, 2006
and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, UGI Utilities paid SU $580 in cash.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the purchase price was subject to a working capital
adjustment equal to the difference between $68.1 and the actual working capital as of the
closing date agreed to by both UGI Utilities and SU. In March 2007, UGI Utilities and SU
reached an agreement on the working capital adjustment pursuant to which SU paid UGI
Utilities approximately $23.7 in cash. In addition, in March 2007 UGI Utilities completed
its review and determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed.

Utility Regulatory Matters |
In an order entered on November 30, 2006, the PUC approved a settlement of the base rate
proceeding of PG Energy (PNG Gas). The settlement provided for an increase in natural gas
distribution base rates of $12.5 annually or approximately 4%, effective December 2, 2006.
In accordance with Provider of Last Resort (POLR) settlements approved by the PUC,
Electric Utility may increase its POLR rates up to certain limits through December 31, 2009.
In accordance with these settlements, Electric Utility increased its POLR rates by 4.5% on
January 1, 2005 and 3% on January 1, 2006 (a total of 7.5% above the total rates in effect
December 31, 2004). Electric Utility also increased its POLR rates for all metered customers
effective January 1, 2007 which is expected to increase the average cost to residential
customers by approximately 35% over such costs in effect during calendar year 2006.

(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts)
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
LPG equity investment in China (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 2006 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) or as an alternative to cash flow (as a measure of liquidity or ability to
service debt obligations) and is not a measure of performance or financial condition under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Companys
definition of Partnership EBITDA may be different from that used by other companies. We
evaluate the performance of our International Propane, Gas Utility, Electric Utility and
Energy Services segments principally based upon their income before income taxes.

The
increase in goodwill during the six months ended March 31, 2007 primarily reflects
the effects of foreign currency translation partially offset by the working capital
adjustment associated with the PG Energy Acquisition. Changes in intangible assets during
the six months ended March 31, 2007 principally reflect the effects of foreign currency
translation. Amortization expense of intangible assets was $4.1 and $8.2 for the three and
six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, and $4.5 and $8.8 for the three and six
months ended March 31, 2006, respectively. Our expected aggregate amortization expense of
intangible assets for the next five fiscal years is as follows: Fiscal 2007 $15.7; Fiscal
2008 $15.4; Fiscal 2009 $14.7; Fiscal 2010 $13.3; Fiscal 2011 $12.7.

Energy Services Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility |
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. 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. Effective October 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 156, see Note 1.

UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts)
During
the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, Energy Services sold trade receivables
totaling $707.6 and $810.3, respectively, to ESFC. During the six months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, ESFC sold an aggregate $217.0 and $543.5, respectively, of undivided
interests in its trade receivables to the commercial paper conduit. At March 31, 2007, the
outstanding balance of ESFC trade receivables was $118.4 which is net of $32.0 that was sold
to the commercial paper conduit and removed from the balance sheet. At March 31, 2006, the
outstanding balance of ESFC trade receivables was $56.5 which is net of $75.6 that was sold
to the commercial paper conduit and removed from the balance sheet.
In addition, a major bank has committed to issue up to $50 of standby letters of credit,
secured by cash or marketable securities (LC Facility) to Energy Services. At March 31,
2007, there were no letters of credit outstanding. Energy Services expects to fund the
collateral requirements with borrowings under its Receivables Facility. The LC Facility
expires in April 2008.

Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans |
We sponsor two defined benefit pension plans (Pension Plan) for employees of UGI, UGI
Utilities, including employees of UGIPNG, and certain of UGIs other wholly owned
subsidiaries. In addition, we provide postretirement health care benefits to certain
retirees and postretirement life insurance benefits to nearly all domestic active and
retired employees. In addition, Antargaz has retirement obligations and other post
employment benefit commitments associated with certain of its retirees and employees.

Pension Plan 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 Plan during the year ending September 30, 2007 for ERISA
funding purposes. Pursuant to orders previously issued by the PUC, UGI Utilities has
established a Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust to fund and pay
UGI Utilities 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 six months
ended March 31, 2007, nor are they expected to be material for the year ending September 30,
2007.
We also sponsor unfunded and non-qualified supplemental executive retirement income plans.
We recorded pre-tax expense for these plans of $0.6 and $1.1 for the three and six months
ended March 31, 2007, respectively. We recorded pre-tax expense for these plans of $0.5 and
$1.0 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies |
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 March 31, 2007, the potential amount payable under this indemnity by the
Company Parties was approximately $58. 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, allegedly
resulting from the defendants 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.

(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts)
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. 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,
prudently incurred remediation costs associated with such sites.
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 eleven currently owned properties on which MGP-related facilities were operated
(Properties). Under the Multi-Site Agreement, UGIPNG is not required to spend more than
$1.1 in any calendar year for such environmental expenditures, including costs to perform
work on the Properties. Costs related to investigation and remediation of one property
formerly owned by UGIPNG are also included in this cap. The Multi-Site Agreement terminates
at the end of fifteen years but may be terminated by either party at the end of any two-year
period beginning with the 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 four 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.

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 believes that it has good
defenses to this claim and is defending the suit.
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
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, subject to court approval, pursuant to
which Citizens agreed to pay $7.6 in exchange for a release of its liabilities. UGI
Utilities is evaluating what effect, if any, the settlement agreement would have on claims
against it. UGI Utilities believes that it has good defenses to Citizens claim and to any
claim that the DEP may bring to recover its costs, and is defending the Citizens suit.
By letter dated March 30, 1992, Atlanta Gas Light Company (AGL) informed UGI Utilities
that it was investigating contamination that appeared to be related to MGP operations at a
site owned by AGL in Savannah, Georgia. A former subsidiary of UGI Utilities operated the
MGP in the early 1900s. AGL has informed UGI Utilities that it has begun remediation of MGP
wastes at the site and believes that the total cost of remediation could be as high as $55.
AGL has not filed suit against UGI Utilities for a share of these costs. UGI Utilities
believes that it will have good defenses to any action that may arise out of this site.
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. ConEd believes that the cost of remediation for all of the sites could exceed $70.

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, UGI Utilities filed a petition requesting that
the United States Supreme Court review the decision of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Court has not yet ruled on UGI Utilities petition. On April 23, 2007, the Supreme Court
heard argument in another companys case raising substantially
the same issues presented in UGI Utilities
petition and has not yet ruled in that case.
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.
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 believes
that it has good defenses to this claim and is defending the suit.
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.

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 such excess losses. 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.

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 (1) the three months ended March 31,
2007 (2007 three-month period) with the three months ended March 31, 2006 (2006 three-month
period) and (2) the six months ended March 31, 2007 (2007 six-month period) with the six months
ended March 31, 2006 (2006 six-month period). Our analyses of results of operations should be
read in conjunction with the segment information included in Note 4 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
Companys results are largely seasonal and dependent upon weather conditions, particularly during
the peak-heating season months of November through March. As a result, our net income is generally
highest in our first and second fiscal quarters. In addition to the effects of weather conditions,
our volumes can reflect customers responses to volatile and increasing commodity prices resulting
in customer conservation. Our 2007 results include the operations of PNG Gas, the natural gas
utility business that we acquired in late August 2006 (the PG Energy Acquisition).
During the first three months of the 2007 six-month period, temperatures within each of our
business units service territories were significantly warmer than normal and were much warmer than
in the prior year. However, during the second half of the 2007 six-month period, domestic
temperatures returned to a more normal level resulting in colder weather than in the prior year.
Our international operations faced temperatures significantly warmer than normal and the prior year
throughout the entire 2007 six-month period. Despite the challenges of much warmer heating season
weather in our international businesses and during the first half of our domestic heating season,
net income during the 2007 six-month period increased approximately 13% compared to the 2006
six-month period. The increase in earnings primarily reflects incremental Gas Utility income
principally resulting from the PG Energy Acquisition and higher income contributed by AmeriGas
Propane and Electric Utility. These increases were partially offset by decreased earnings from
International Propane and lower interest income because cash and investments were used to fund a
portion of the PG Energy Acquisition in August 2006. Energy Services results for the prior-year
periods include a $5.3 million after-tax gain from the March 2006 sale of its 50% ownership in
Hunlock Creek Energy Ventures (Energy Ventures). AmeriGas Propanes results during the 2006
six-month period include an approximate $4.6 million after-tax loss on extinguishment of debt
related to January 2006 refinancings.

Deviation from average heating degree-days based upon national weather statistics provided

Based upon heating degree-day data, temperatures were 3.7% warmer than normal in the 2007
three-month period compared to 12.1% warmer than normal in the prior-year period. Retail propane
volumes sold increased approximately 8% principally due to the colder weather.
Retail
propane revenues increased $86.1 million reflecting a $53.0 million increase due to the
higher retail volumes sold and a $33.1 million increase due to higher average selling prices.
Wholesale propane revenues in the 2007 three-month period were comparable with the 2006 three-month
period. Total cost of sales increased to $500.3 million in the 2007 three-month period from $447.3
million in the 2006 three-month period, primarily reflecting the increased volumes sold and an
increase in propane product costs. Total margin increased $38.6 million compared to the 2006
three-month period principally due to the higher retail propane gallons sold at higher average
retail margins per gallon.
Partnership EBITDA during the 2007 three-month period was $156.4 million compared to $116.2 million
during the 2006 three-month period. The $40.2 million increase in Partnership EBITDA mainly
reflects the increase in total margin and the absence of a $17.1 million loss on extinguishment of
debt partially offset by increases in operating and administrative expenses. Operating and
administrative expenses increased $14.1 million principally reflecting higher employee compensation
and benefits expenses, higher repair and maintenance expenses and increased vehicle costs.
Operating income increased $22.9 million reflecting the increase in Partnership EBITDA excluding
the impact of the absence of the prior periods $17.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt which
is included in Partnership EBITDA but is excluded from operating income.

Based upon heating degree day data, temperatures in Antargaz service territory were
approximately 15.5% warmer than normal in the 2007 three-month period compared to temperatures that
were approximately 6.5% colder than normal in the 2006 three-month period. Flaga experienced
similar weather across its service territories. The monthly average currency translation rate was
$1.32 per euro during the 2007 three-month period versus $1.20 per euro during the 2006 three-month
period. Antargaz retail LPG volumes sold decreased to 95.0 million gallons in the 2007
three-month period from 125.4 million gallons in the 2006 three-month period. The decrease in
Antargaz retail volumes sold was experienced across all of Antargaz classes of customers and was
due in large part to the significantly warmer than normal weather and, to a much lesser extent,
customer conservation. Flagas volumes declined largely reflecting the absence of volumes from its
Czech Republic and Slovakia businesses that it contributed to Zentraleuropa LPG Holding GmbH
(ZLH), its joint venture with a subsidiary of Progas GmbH & Co. KG, and the effects of the
significantly warmer weather. The ZLH joint venture was formed in February 2006 and Flagas 50%
ownership interest in ZLH is accounted for under the equity method.
International Propane euro-based revenues decreased during the 2007 three-month period primarily
reflecting (1) a decline of approximately 62 million principally due to Antargaz lower retail
volumes sold at slightly lower LPG prices, (2) approximately 20 million in lower revenues from
Antargaz low-margin wholesale sales, (3) the absence of revenues from Flagas Czech Republic and
Slovakia businesses that were contributed to ZLH, and (4) lower volumes sold in Flagas Austrian
business largely due to the significantly warmer weather. International Propanes total cost of
sales decreased to approximately 106 million in the 2007 three-month period from 184 million in
the 2006 three-month period principally reflecting the effects of the lower retail volumes sold and
lower average LPG product costs, including the absence of costs of sales from Flagas operations
that had been contributed to ZLH. Antargaz LPG purchases are principally denominated in U.S.
dollars.
Total margin decreased 25.0 million in the 2007 three-month period reflecting the lower retail
volumes sold partially offset by higher average margins per retail gallon of LPG sold. In U.S.
dollars, total margin decreased $17.5 million reflecting the decrease in base-currency total margin
which was partially offset by the beneficial effects of the stronger euro versus the dollar.
The 18.5 million decline in International Propane operating income largely reflects the lower
total margin partially offset by decreased operating and administrative expenses. The decrease in
operating and administrative expenses is attributable to lower vehicle fuel and lease and employee
compensation and benefits expenses and lower expenses at Flaga partially offset by higher
maintenance and repairs expense. The decrease in income before income taxes largely reflects the
decline in operating income.

Deviation from average heating degree days based upon weather statistics provided by the

Temperatures in Gas Utilitys service territory based upon heating degree days were 1.4%
colder than normal during the 2007 three-month period compared to 13.0% warmer than normal in the
prior-year three-month period. Total distribution system throughput increased 22.7 bcf reflecting
an 18.7 bcf increase from PNG Gas and a 4.0 bcf increase in UGI Gas distribution system throughput
due to the colder weather.
Gas Utility revenues increased $162.8 million during the 2007 three-month period principally
reflecting approximately $147.4 million in revenues attributable to PNG Gas, an $8.4 million
increase in revenues from low-margin off-system sales, and greater revenues from sales to UGI Gas
firm- residential, commercial and industrial (retail core-market) customers. Increases or
decreases in retail core-market customer 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 this 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 amount 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. Gas Utilitys
cost of gas was $334.2 million in the 2007 three-month period compared to $223.0 million in the
2006 three-month period largely reflecting PNG Gas cost of gas and greater costs associated with
the higher off-system sales.
Gas
Utility total margin in the 2007 three-month period increased $51.6 million primarily
reflecting margin from PNG Gas and a $10.5 million increase in UGI Gas margin due to the higher
distribution system throughput.
Gas Utility operating income increased to $78.0 million in the 2007 three-month period from $39.9
million in the 2006 three-month period principally reflecting the $51.6 million increase in total
margin and an increase in other income partially offset by an $11.8 million increase in operating
and administrative expenses and $4.2 million of higher depreciation and amortization expense. The
increase in total operating and administrative expenses reflects operating and administrative
expenses attributable to PNG Gas and a decrease of $1.5 million in UGI Gas expenses. The increase
in depreciation and amortization expense is largely attributable to PNG Gas and, to a lesser
extent, capital expenditures associated with UGI Gas.

UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
The increase in Gas Utility income before income taxes reflects the higher operating income
partially offset by a $5.8 million increase in interest expense. The increase in interest expense
is principally due to higher long- and short-term debt outstanding, primarily a result of the PG
Energy Acquisition, and higher short-term interest rates.

purposes, revenue-related taxes are included in Utility taxes other than income taxes on the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. |
Electric Utilitys 2007 three-month period kilowatt-hour sales were 5.0% higher than in the
prior-year period which is largely attributable to approximately 3% colder than normal temperatures
compared to 9% warmer than normal temperatures in the prior-year period (based upon heating degree
day statistics). Electric Utility revenues increased $9.5 million in the 2007 three-month period
largely reflecting the effects of an increase in its Provider of Last Resort (POLR) rates
effective January 1, 2007 and the significantly colder temperatures than in the prior year.
Electric Utilitys cost of sales increased to $20.8 million in the 2007 three-month period from
$15.2 million in the 2006 three-month period reflecting higher per unit purchased power costs and
the higher kilowatt-hour sales.
Electric Utility total margin in the 2007 three-month period increased $3.3 million reflecting the
effects of the higher POLR rates and the higher sales partially offset by the higher per unit
purchased power costs.
The increase in Electric Utility operating income and income before income taxes in the 2007
three-month period principally reflects the increase in total margin.

Energy Services revenues increased slightly to $444.9 million in the 2007 three-month period
from $438.8 million in the 2006 three-month period principally reflecting greater electric
generation sales, a 12% increase in natural gas volumes sold partially offset by an approximate 18%
decline in natural gas prices.
Total margin increased $1.1 million in the 2007 three-month period compared to the prior-year
three-month period. The increase in total margin is primarily attributable to improved results
from peaking supply and storage management activities and, to a lesser extent, the increase in
natural gas volumes sold.

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) or as an alternative to cash flow (as a measure of liquidity or ability to
service debt obligations) 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 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). |
|
(c) |
|
Deviation from average heating degree-days 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, temperatures in the 2007 six-month period were 5.8% warmer
than normal and 3.1% colder than the prior-year period. Retail propane volumes sold increased
approximately 3% primarily reflecting greater demand attributable to the colder weather.
Retail propane revenues increased $74.3 million reflecting a $37.8 million increase due to higher
average selling prices and $36.5 million due to the higher volumes sold. Wholesale propane
revenues decreased $6.4 million reflecting a $5.9 million decrease due to lower wholesale volumes
sold and a slight decrease resulting from lower average selling prices. Total cost of sales
increased to $889.0 million in the 2007 six-month period from $855.1 million in the 2006 six-month
period, primarily reflecting the increased volumes sold and an increase in propane product costs.
Total margin increased $44.1 million compared to the 2006 six-month period principally due to
higher average propane margins per gallon, higher volumes sold and, to a much lesser extent, higher
fees in response to increases in operating and administrative expenses. Our total margin also
benefited from higher sales resulting from customer growth in the AmeriGas cylinder exchange
program.
Partnership EBITDA during the 2007 six-month period was $249.5 million compared to $208.4 million
during the 2006 six-month period. The $41.1 million increase in Partnership EBITDA mainly reflects
the increase in total margin and the absence of the $17.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt
partially offset by a $19.1 million increase in operating and administrative expenses. Operating
and administrative expenses increased principally due to higher employee compensation and benefits
expenses, higher repair and maintenance expenses and increased vehicle costs.
Operating income increased $23.5 million reflecting the previously mentioned increase in
Partnership EBITDA excluding the impact of the prior periods $17.1 million loss on extinguishment
of debt which is included in Partnership EBITDA but excluded from operating income.

to the significantly warmer weather and, to a much lesser extent, customer conservation. Flagas
volumes declined reflecting the absence of volumes from its Czech Republic and Slovakia businesses
that it contributed to ZLH and the effects of the significantly warmer weather.
International Propane euro-based revenues decreased during the 2007 six-month period primarily
reflecting (1) a decline of approximately 78 million principally due to Antargaz lower retail
volumes sold, (2) approximately 41 million in lower revenues from Antargaz low-margin wholesale
sales and (3) lower ancillary sales and services and, to a much lesser extent, (4) the absence of
revenues from Flagas Czech Republic and Slovakia businesses that were contributed to ZLH.
International Propanes total cost of sales decreased to approximately 190.8 million in the 2007
six-month period from 317.7 million in the 2006 six-month period largely reflecting the effects of
the lower retail volumes sold, lower LPG product costs and, the decline in low-margin wholesale
sales.
Total margin decreased 27.5 million in the 2007 six-month period largely reflecting the lower
retail volumes sold partially offset by higher margin on ancillary sales and services and higher
average margins per retail gallon of LPG sold. In U.S. dollars, total margin declined $10.5
million reflecting the beneficial effects of the stronger euro versus the dollar.
International Propane operating income declined 20.9 million principally reflecting the lower
total margin partially offset by a 7.6 million decrease in operating and administrative expenses
and slightly lower depreciation and amortization partially offset by a decrease in other income of
approximately 1.2 million. The decrease in operating and administrative expenses is largely the
result of (1) decreases in Antargaz contracted labor and employee compensation and benefits
expenses partially offset by increased repair and maintenance expenses, and (2) decreases in
Flagas expenses.

UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
The decrease in income before income taxes principally reflects the decrease in operating income
partially offset by lower interest expense and the absence of a loss on extinguishment of debt
related to Antargaz refinancing of its High Yield Bonds in January 2006.

Temperatures in Gas Utilitys service territory based upon heating degree days were 5.4%
warmer than normal during the 2007 six-month period compared to 8.2% warmer than normal during the
prior-year six-month period. Total distribution system throughput increased 33.1 bcf reflecting
30.9 bcf from PNG Gas and greater UGI Gas distribution system throughput. UGI Gas greater
distribution system throughput reflects increased sales to both retail core-market and delivery
service customers.
Gas Utility revenues increased $217.4 million during the 2007 six-month period principally
reflecting revenues attributable to PNG Gas and an $18.1 million increase in revenues from
low-margin off-system sales. These increases were partially offset by lower revenues from UGI Gas
retail core-market customers as a result of lower average PGC rates. Gas Utilitys cost of gas was
$528.0 million in the 2007 six-month period compared to $382.9 million in the 2006 six-month period
largely reflecting the effects of the PG Energy Acquisition and greater costs associated with the
higher off-system sales partially offset by the lower average PGC rates.
Gas Utility total margin in the 2007 six-month period increased $72.3 million primarily reflecting
margin resulting from the PG Energy Acquisition and a $6.4 million increase in UGI Gas margin.
Gas Utility operating income increased to $116.2 million in the 2007 six-month period from $75.6
million in the 2006 six-month period principally reflecting the $72.3 million increase in total
margin and slightly higher other income partially offset by a $25.7 million increase in operating
and administrative expenses and $8.0 million higher depreciation and amortization expense. The
increase in total operating and administrative expenses principally reflects $23.5 million of
incremental operating and administrative expenses attributable to PNG Gas and, to a much lesser
extent, higher UGI Gas operating and administrative expenses. The
higher depreciation and amortization expense primarily reflects
depreciation expense associated with PNG Gas.
The increase in Gas Utility income before income taxes reflects the higher operating income
partially offset by an increase of $11.5 million in interest expense. The increase in interest
expense is principally due to higher long- and short-term debt outstanding, primarily as a result
of the PG Energy Acquisition, and higher short-term interest rates.

revenue-related taxes are included in Utility taxes other than income taxes on the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income. |
Electric Utilitys 2007 six-month period kilowatt-hour sales increased approximately 1%
compared to the 2006 six-month period. Electric Utility revenues increased $10.5 million in the
2007 six-month period largely reflecting the effects of the increased POLR rates effective January
1, 2007 and, to a lesser extent, the increased sales. Electric Utilitys cost of sales increased to
$33.0 million in the 2007 six-month period from $26.5 million in the 2006 six-month period
reflecting higher per unit purchased power costs.
Electric Utility total margin increased $3.4 million during the 2007 six-month period reflecting
the effects of the higher POLR rates and, to a lesser extent, the increased sales partially offset
by the higher per unit purchased power costs.
Electric Utility operating income and income before income taxes increased in the 2007
six-month period principally reflecting the increase in total margin partially offset by a slight
increase in operating and administrative expenses.

Total margin represents total revenues less total cost of sales. |
Notwithstanding the effects of a 16% increase in natural gas volumes sold and a 15% increase
in kilowatt hour sales, Energy Services revenues decreased to $789.1 million in the 2007 six-month
period from $890.2 million in the 2006 six-month period principally reflecting a more than 25%
decline in natural gas prices.
Total margin increased $8.9 million in the 2007 six-month period compared to the prior-year
six-month period. The increase in total margin is primarily attributable to higher natural gas
unit margins, improved results from peaking supply and storage management activities and, to a
lesser extent, the increase in natural gas volumes sold.
The decrease in Energy Services operating income and income before income taxes principally
reflects the $9.1 million gain on the sale of Energy Ventures that was recorded in the prior-year
six-month period.

UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Financial Condition
Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $210.4 million at March 31, 2007
compared with $201.0 million at September 30, 2006. Excluding cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments that reside at UGIs operating subsidiaries at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006,
we had $14.6 million and $16.6 million, respectively, of cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments.
The Companys long-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2007 totaled $2,020.2 million (including
current maturities of $34.5 million) compared to $1,996.9 million of long-term debt (including
current maturities of $31.9 million) at September 30, 2006.
AmeriGas OLPs Credit Agreement expires 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 March 31, 2007, there were no 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 $58.0 million at March 31, 2007 and was
approximately the same amount outstanding during the entire six-month period. Issued and
outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $58.9 million at March
31, 2006 and was approximately the same amount outstanding during the entire six-month period. The
average daily and peak bank loan borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $2.4
million and $92.0 million, respectively, during the 2007 six-month period. There were no
significant borrowings under the Credit Agreement during the 2006 six-month period. AmeriGas
Partners has an effective unallocated debt and equity shelf registration statement with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under which it may issue Common Units or Senior Notes
due 2016 in underwritten public offerings.
UGI Utilities has a $350 million Revolving Credit Agreement which expires in August 2011. At March
31, 2007, UGI Utilities had $146.0 million in borrowings outstanding under its Revolving Credit
Agreement. From time to time, UGI Utilities has entered into short-term borrowings under
uncommitted arrangements with major banks in order to meet liquidity needs. Short-term borrowings,
including borrowings under its Revolving Credit Agreement, are classified as bank loans on the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the 2007 and 2006 six-month periods, average daily
bank loan borrowings were $214.6 million and $119.8 million, respectively, and peak bank loan
borrowings totaled $259.0 million and $175.9 million, respectively. Peak borrowings typically occur
during the peak heating season months of December and January. The increase in average and peak
bank loan borrowings during the 2007 six-month period principally reflects borrowings to fund the
working capital of PNG Gas. UGI Utilities also has an effective shelf registration statement with
the SEC under which it may issue up to an additional $75 million of Medium-Term Notes or other debt
securities. Medium-Term Notes of $20 million maturing in June 2007 are expected to be refinanced
through the issuance of debt under this shelf registration.

UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, Energy Services sold trade receivables totaling
$707.6 million and $810.3 million, respectively, to ESFC. During the six months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, ESFC sold an aggregate $217.0 million and $543.5 million, respectively, of undivided
interests in its trade receivables to the commercial paper conduit. At March 31, 2007, the
outstanding balance of ESFC receivables was $118.4 million which is net of $32.0 million that was
sold to the commercial paper conduit. At March 31, 2006, the outstanding balance of ESFC
receivables was $56.5 million which is net of $75.6 million that was sold to the commercial paper
conduit.
In addition, a major bank has committed to issue up to $50 million of standby letters of credit,
secured by cash or marketable securities (LC Facility) to Energy Services. At March 31, 2007,
there were no letters of credit outstanding. Energy Services expects to fund the collateral
requirements with borrowings under its Receivables Facility. The LC Facility expires in April 2008.
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/or inventories, is generally greatest. AmeriGas Propane and
UGI Utilities primarily use bank loans 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 revolver.
Cash
flow provided by operating activities was $222.5 million in the 2007 six-month period compared
with $70.5 million in the 2006 six-month period. Cash flow from operating activities before
changes in operating working capital was $415.9 million in the 2007 six-month period compared with
$327.3 million in the prior-year six-month period reflecting the higher income and greater non-cash
charges. Changes in operating working capital used $193.4 million in the 2007 six-month period and
$256.8 million in the 2006 six-month period largely reflecting the effects of changes in accounts
receivable, inventories and accounts payable.
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 short-term investments and proceeds from sales of assets. Net cash used in investing activities
was $74.3 million in the 2007 six-month period compared to $135.8 million in the prior-year period.
The decrease in investing activities largely reflects cash received as a result of the PG Energy
Acquisition working capital settlement and a decrease in restricted cash.
- 31 -
UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Financing Activities. Cash
flow used by financing activities was $139.7 million in the 2007
six-month period compared with $6.5 million in the prior-year six-month period. Financing activity
cash flow changes 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 AmeriGas Partners Common Units and UGI Common Stock.
We paid cash dividends on UGI Common Stock of $37.4 million and $35.5 million during the 2007 and
2006 six-month periods, respectively. During the 2007 six-month period, the Partnership declared
and paid quarterly distributions on its limited partner units for the quarters ended December 31,
and September 30, 2006.
UGI Common Dividend and AmeriGas Partners Distribution Increases
On April 24, 2007, UGIs Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend rate on
UGI Common Stock to $0.185 per common share or $0.74 per common share on an annual basis. The new
quarterly dividend rate is effective with the dividend payable on July 1, 2007 to shareholders of
record on June 15, 2007. On April 23, 2007, AmeriGas Propanes Board of Directors approved an
increase in its quarterly distribution rate on AmeriGas Partners Common Units to $0.61 per Common
Unit or $2.44 per Common Unit on an annual basis. The new quarterly distribution rate is effective
with the distribution payable on May 18, 2007 to unitholders of record on May 10, 2007. In
addition, on May 4, 2007, the Partnership announced its intention to distribute a portion of the
proceeds from the expected sale of its Arizona storage facility in the amount of $0.25 per Common
Unit on August 18, 2007 to unitholders of record on August 10, 2007. Generally, the percentage of
AmeriGas Partners cash distributions to the General Partner increases when the amount of any
distribution to the limited partners exceeds $0.605 per Common Unit. Accordingly, beginning with
the partnership distribution of $0.61 per Common Unit to be paid on May 18, 2007, the General
Partner will receive a greater percentage of the total partnership distribution than its general
partner ownership interest of 1%, but only with respect to the amount by which the total
distribution to limited partners exceeds $0.605 per Common Unit.
PG Energy Acquisition
On August 24, 2006, UGI Utilities acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of
Southern Union Companys (SUs) PG Energy Division, a natural gas distribution business located
in northeastern Pennsylvania, and all of the issued and outstanding stock of SUs wholly-owned
subsidiary, PG Energy Services, Inc., pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement, as amended,
between SU and UGI dated January 26, 2006 (the Agreement). On August 24, 2006 and in accordance
with the terms of the Agreement, UGI Utilities paid SU $580 million in cash. Pursuant to the terms
of the Agreement, the purchase price was subject to a working capital adjustment equal to the
difference between $68.1 million and the actual working capital as of the closing date agreed to by
both UGI Utilities and SU. In March 2007, UGI Utilities and SU reached an agreement on the
working capital adjustment pursuant to which SU paid UGI Utilities $23.7 million in cash. See Note
2 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Utility Regulatory Matters
In an order entered on November 30, 2006, the PUC approved a settlement of the base rate proceeding
of PG Energy (PNG Gas). The settlement provided for an increase in natural gas distribution base
rates of $12.5 million annually or approximately 4%, effective December 2, 2006.
- 32 -
UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
In accordance with POLR settlements approved by the PUC, Electric Utility may increase its POLR
rates up to certain limits through December 31, 2009. In accordance with these settlements,
Electric Utility increased its POLR rates by 4.5% on January 1, 2005 and 3% on January 1, 2006 (a
total of 7.5% above the total rates in effect on December 31, 2004). Electric Utility also
increased its POLR rates for all metered customers effective January 1, 2007 which is expected to
increase the average cost to residential customers by approximately 35% over such costs in effect
during calendar year 2006.
Antargaz Tax Matter
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.
AmeriGas Partners Pending Sale of Arizona Storage Facility
In February 2007,
AmeriGas Partners signed a definitive agreement with Plains LPG
Services, L.P. to sell its 3.5 million barrel liquefied petroleum gas storage terminal located near
Phoenix, AZ for approximately $52 million. The transaction is expected to close before the end of
the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2007. UGI expects to realize an after-tax gain on this sale of
approximately $11 million to $12 million.
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 may also enter into other contracts, similar to those used by the Partnership.
Flaga has and may use derivative commodity instruments to reduce market risk associated with a
portion of its propane purchases. Currently, 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.

UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 periodic
adjustments 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.
Electric Utility purchases power from wholesale electricity suppliers under fixed-price energy and
capacity contracts and, to a much lesser extent, on the spot market. Prices for electricity can be
volatile especially during periods of high demand or tight supply. Currently, Electric Utilitys
fixed-price contracts with electricity suppliers mitigate most risks associated with the POLR
service rate limits in effect through December 31, 2009. With respect to its existing fixed-price
power and capacity contracts, should any of the counterparties fail to provide electric power or
capacity under the terms of such contracts, any increases in the cost of replacement power or
capacity 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. From time to time, Electric Utility enters
into electric price swap agreements to reduce the volatility in the cost of a portion of its
anticipated electricity requirements.
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. Energy Services
exchange-traded natural gas 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 March 31, 2007, Energy Services
had $5.2 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.
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.
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 their cash flows.
Our variable-rate debt includes borrowings under AmeriGas OLPs Credit Agreement and borrowings
under 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 interest rate on its variable-rate long-term
debt through June 2011 through the use of interest rate swaps. Flaga has effectively fixed a
substantial portion of its long-term debt through September 2011 through the use of an interest
rate swap. At March 31, 2007, combined borrowings outstanding under these agreements, excluding
Antargaz and Flagas effectively fixed-rate debt, totaled approximately $156.6 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,

The following table summarizes the fair values of unsettled market risk sensitive derivative
instruments held at March 31, 2007. 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 March 31, 2007. The table also includes the changes in fair value that
would result if there were a ten percent adverse change in (1) the market price of propane; (2) the
market price of natural gas; (3) the market price of electricity; (4) interest rates on ten-year
U.S. treasury notes and the three- and six-month Euribor and; (5) value of the euro versus the U.S.
dollar. Gas Utilitys exchange-traded natural gas call option and futures contracts are excluded
from the table below because any associated net gains are included in Gas Utilitys PGC recovery
mechanism.

Because our derivative instruments generally qualify as hedges under SFAS No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (SFAS 133), we expect that changes in the
fair value of derivative instruments used to manage commodity or interest rate market risk would be
substantially offset by gains or losses on the associated anticipated transactions.
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 March 31, 2007, the
fair value of unsettled net investment hedges was a loss of $1.4 million, which is included in
foreign currency exchange rate risk in the table above. 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
$52.8 million, which amount would be reflected in other comprehensive income.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) |
|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
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.
(b) |
|
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
Except as discussed below, during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, there has been no change
in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial
reporting.
For an interim period, Southern Union Company was providing certain information technology
services to UGI Penn Natural Gas, Inc. (UGIPNG), a wholly owned subsidiary of UGI
Utilities, and assisting us in migrating certain transaction-based processes and historical
UGIPNG data to UGI Utilities systems. The migration plan is substantially complete.
During October 2006, UGI and subsidiaries UGI Utilities and UGID, implemented certain
financial components of a new information system (the UGI System) that supports human
resource, accounting, purchasing and payroll transaction processing functions. Pursuant to
the migration plan, UGIPNG began using certain financial components of the UGI System as of
January 1, 2007. We have extended internal control procedures over quarterly financial
reporting to include UGIPNG.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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 anticompetitive
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, 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. The Company is continuing its review of Antargaz
pricing policies and practices and, based on the preliminary results of that review, believes
Antargaz is not in violation of Frances competition laws.
Based on a recent newspaper article, we believe that Frances Conseil de la Concurrence
(Competition Council) is 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. The company seeking leniency may present testimony or other evidence of
anti-competitive activities that are 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.
Management intends to continue to cooperate with the DGCCRF investigation and any
investigation that may be initiated. 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, 2006, 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.
The expansion of our international business means that we will face increased risks, which
may negatively affect our business results.

UGI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 strict regulations
applicable to the storage and handling of LPG. |
