Comprehensive information about UGI Corporation is available on the Internet at https://www.ugicorp.com.
USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
Management uses “adjusted net income attributable to UGI Corporation” and "adjusted diluted earnings per share," both of which are non-GAAP financial measures, when evaluating UGI's overall performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to investors about UGI’s performance because they eliminate the impacts of (1) gains and losses on commodity and certain foreign currency derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions and (2) other significant discrete items that can affect the comparison of period-over-period results. Volatility in net income attributable to UGI can occur as a result of gains and losses on commodity and certain foreign currency derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions but included in earnings in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP measures.
Tables on the last page of this press release reconcile net income attributable to UGI Corporation, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted net income attributable to UGI Corporation, and diluted earnings per share, the most comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted diluted earnings per share, to reflect the adjustments referred to above.
1 Reportable segments' EBIT represents an aggregate of our reportable operating segment level EBIT as determined in accordance with GAAP.
2 Because we are unable to predict certain potentially material items affecting diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis, principally mark-to-market gains and losses on commodity and certain foreign currency derivative instruments, we cannot reconcile the fiscal year 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, to diluted earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in reliance on the “unreasonable efforts” exception set forth in SEC rules.
USE OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains statements, estimates and projections that are forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). Such statements use forward-looking words such as “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” or other similar words and terms of similar meaning, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. These statements discuss plans, strategies, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future. Management believes that these are reasonable as of today’s date only. Actual results may differ significantly because of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond management’s control; accordingly, there is no assurance that results will be realized. You should read UGI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more extensive list of factors that could affect results. We undertake no obligation (and expressly disclaim any 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.

•Operating and administrative expenses decreased $5 million reflecting reduced uncollectible accounts expenses.
•Operating income increased $37 million due to the higher total margin ($47 million) and lower operating and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher depreciation expense ($14 million) from continued distribution system capital expenditure activity.
(a) Total margin represents total revenue less total cost of sales. In the case of the Utilities, total margin is also reduced by certain revenue-related taxes.

•Operating and administrative expenses decreased $8 million reflecting lower salaries and benefits and maintenance expenses.
•Operating income increased $16 million due to higher total margin and reduced operating and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower other operating income ($10 million) primarily from storage farmout contracts.

For the year ended September 30, |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | Increase (Decrease)

Base-currency results are translated into U.S. dollars based upon exchange rates experienced during the reporting periods. The functional currency of a significant portion of our UGI International results is the euro and, to a much lesser extent, the British pound sterling. During Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, the average unweighted euro-to-dollar translation rates were $1.08 and $1.07, respectively, and the average unweighted British pound sterling-to-dollar translation rate were $1.27 and $1.23, respectively.
•Temperatures were 12% warmer than normal and 2% warmer than the prior-year period.
•Retail gallons were comparable as the effects of warmer weather were partially offset by higher volumes from natural gas to LPG conversions and autogas customers.
•Total margin increased $58 million reflecting higher LPG unit margins, the translation effects of the stronger foreign currencies ($20 million) and, to a much lesser extent, increased total margin from energy marketing operations.
•Operating and administrative expenses decreased $45 million primarily due to the effect of exiting the non-core energy marketing business and lower personnel-related, maintenance and advertising expenses. These decreases were partially offset by the translation effects of the stronger foreign currencies ($12 million).
•Operating income increased $96 million due to higher total margin ($58 million), lower operating and administrative expenses ($45 million) and higher gain from asset sales ($4 million), partially offset by lower foreign currency transaction gains ($6 million) and lower cylinder deposit income ($6 million).
•Earnings before interest expense and income taxes increased $89 million reflecting higher operating income partially offset by lower realized gains on foreign currency exchange contracts ($4 million).

•Temperatures were 8% warmer than normal and the prior-year period.
•Retail gallons sold decreased 10% largely due to the continuation of customer attrition and the effects of the warmer weather.
•Total margin decreased $119 million reflecting lower retail volumes sold.
•Operating and administrative expenses decreased $17 million reflecting, among other things, lower compensation expenses and advertising expenses.
•Operating income and EBIT decreased $126 million due to lower total margin and a decrease in other income ($23 million) associated with lower gains on asset sales, partially offset by reduced operating and administrative expenses.
