Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. They include all adjustments that 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, 2020, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2020 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 principally represents those cash balances in our commodity futures brokerage accounts that are restricted from withdrawal. The following table provides a reconciliation of the total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the corresponding amounts reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 545 |  |  | $ | 487 |  |  | $ | 336 |  |  | $ | 447 |
Restricted cash |  | 31 |  |  | 45 |  |  | 21 |  |  | 64 |

Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per share attributable to UGI stockholders reflect the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share attributable to UGI stockholders include the effects of dilutive stock options and common stock awards. Shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Nine Months Ended June 30,
|  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Denominator (thousands of shares): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Weighted-average common shares outstanding — basic |  | 209,099 |  |  | 208,598 |  |  | 208,934 |  |  | 208,989 |
Incremental shares issuable for stock options and awards |  | 1,752 |  |  | 377 |  |  | 1,260 |  |  | 1,020 |
Weighted-average common shares outstanding — diluted |  | 210,851 |  |  | 208,975 |  |  | 210,194 |  |  | 210,009 |
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were 2,502 and 7,083 shares, respectively, associated with outstanding stock option awards that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share above because their effect was antidilutive. As described in Note 8, the Company issued $220 in Equity Units in May 2021, consisting of Convertible Preferred Stock and the 2024 Purchase Contracts. The 2024 Purchase Contracts contain conversion provisions available under certain conditions. The Company will settle such conversions by paying or delivering (i) one share of UGI’s Series B preferred stock (or, for conversions in connection with a redemption of the Convertible Preferred Stock, up to $1,000 per share in cash) per share of Convertible Preferred Stock being converted; and (ii) to the extent the conversion value exceeds the liquidation preference of the Convertible Preferred Stock, shares of UGI’s common stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock is excluded from the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation on the basis that the Convertible Preferred Stock will be settled in cash except to the extent that the conversion value exceeds its liquidation preference. Therefore, before any redemption or conversion, the shares of UGI’s common stock that would be required to settle the applicable conversion value in excess of the liquidation preference, if the Company elects to settle such excess in shares of UGI’s common stock, would be included in the denominator of diluted earnings per share in periods in which they are dilutive. There were no shares related to the Convertible Preferred Stock included in the diluted earnings per share calculation during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. Derivative Instruments. Derivative instruments are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values, unless the NPNS exception is elected. The accounting for changes in fair value depends upon the purpose of the derivative instrument, whether it is subject to regulatory ratemaking mechanisms or if it qualifies and is designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. Certain of our derivative instruments qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges. For cash flow hedges, changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments are recorded in AOCI, to the extent effective at offsetting changes in the hedged item, until earnings are affected by the hedged item. We discontinue cash flow hedge accounting if occurrence of the forecasted transaction is determined to be no longer probable. Hedge accounting is also discontinued for derivatives that cease to be highly effective. We do not designate our commodity and certain foreign currency derivative instruments as hedges under GAAP. Changes in the fair values of these derivative instruments are reflected in net income. Gains and losses on substantially all of the commodity derivative instruments used by UGI Utilities are included in regulatory assets or liabilities because it is probable such gains or losses will be recoverable from, or refundable to, customers. From time to time, we also enter into net investment hedges. Gains and losses on net investment hedges that relate to our foreign operations are included in the cumulative translation adjustment component in AOCI until such foreign net investment is substantially sold or liquidated. Cash flows from derivative instruments, other than certain cross-currency swaps and net investment hedges, if any, are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from the interest portion of our cross-currency hedges, if any, are included in cash flows from operating activities while cash flows from the currency portion of such hedges, if any, are included in cash flows from financing activities. Cash flows from net investment hedges, if any, are included in cash flows from investing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For a more detailed description of the derivative instruments we use, our accounting for derivatives, our objectives for using them and other information, see Note 12. Impairment of long-lived assets held for sale. In July 2020, Energy Services, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell its approximate 5.97% ownership interest in Conemaugh. As a result, the Company reduced the carrying amount of these assets to their fair value and classified these assets as held-for-sale within the Midstream & Marketing segment as of June 30, 2020. The Company determined the fair value of such assets fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and was based upon the agreed upon sales price. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge of $52 which amount is reflected in “Impairment of assets held-for-sale” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and costs. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events, historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may be different from these estimates and assumptions. Reclassifications. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation.
