Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and 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, 2023, 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 2023 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 and certain other cash balances 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.

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, common stock awards and, prior to the June 2024 settlement described below, Equity Units. Shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Incremental shares issuable for stock options, common stock awards and Equity Units (a)(b) |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 5,128 |  |  | — |
Weighted-average common shares outstanding — diluted |  | 210,679 |  |  | 209,706 |  |  | 215,218 |  |  | 209,811 |
(a)For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, 3,823, 5,972, and 6,222 shares, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as such incremental shares would be antidilutive due to the net losses for the periods. For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, 8,487 shares associated with outstanding stock option awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was antidilutive. (b)The Equity Units were settled in June 2024. See “Equity Units” below for additional information. Equity Units. In May 2021, the Company issued 2.2 million Equity Units with a total notional value of $220. Each Equity Unit had a stated amount of $100 and consisted of (i) a 10% undivided beneficial ownership interest in one share of Convertible Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and (ii) a 2024 Purchase Contract. See Note 13 in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report for additional information on the issuance of the Equity Units. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Units, in May 2024, the Company announced the unsuccessful final remarketing of its Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result, each holder of an Equity Unit received 2.2973 shares of UGI common stock, without par value, with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company (i) made the final contract adjustment payment to settle the 2024 Purchase Contract in full; (ii) canceled the Convertible Preferred Stock; and (iii) in a non-cash transaction, converted the Equity Units into 5,054,030 shares of UGI Common Stock and issued the shares to the holders of the Equity Units under the 2024 Purchase Contract. 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 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 net investment hedges, are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from net investment hedges 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. 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. Goodwill. We do not amortize goodwill, but test it at least annually for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or one level below an operating segment (a component) if it constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by segment management. Components are aggregated into a single reporting unit if they have similar economic characteristics. Each of our reporting units with goodwill is required to perform impairment tests annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the value of goodwill may be impaired. As previously disclosed in Note 12 in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report, a non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $656 was recognized in Fiscal 2023 to reduce the carrying value of the AmeriGas Propane reporting unit to its fair value. The Company continues to monitor the AmeriGas Propane reporting unit for any changes in facts and circumstances that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of the AmeriGas Propane reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. No such indicators were identified at June 30, 2024, however if AmeriGas Propane were not able to achieve its anticipated results and/or if its discount rate were to increase, its fair value would be adversely affected, which may result in further impairment. There is approximately $1.4 billion of goodwill in this reporting unit as of June 30, 2024. With respect to UGI International's Fiscal 2023 goodwill impairment test, we determined that UGI International’s fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. While the Company believes that its judgments used in the quantitative assessment of UGI International’s fair value are reasonable based upon currently available facts and circumstances, if UGI International were not able to achieve its anticipated results and/or if its discount rate were to increase, its fair value would be adversely affected, which may result in an impairment. There were no changes in facts and circumstances that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the UGI International reporting unit may not be in excess of its book value at June 30, 2024. There is approximately $913 of goodwill in this reporting unit as of June 30, 2024. The Company will continue to monitor its reporting units and related goodwill for any possible future non-cash impairment charges.
