Reports Fiscal 2010 First Quarter Results</h3><p>STAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 3, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Gas Partners, L.P. (the &#x201C;Partnership&#x201D; or &#x201C;Star&#x201D;) (NYSE:SGU), a home energy distributor and services provider specializing in heating oil, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2010 first quarter, the three-month period ended December 31, 2009.&#xA0;</p><p>
	For the fiscal 2010 first quarter, Star reported a 13.4 percent decrease in total revenues to $348.8 million, compared with total revenues of $402.9 million in the year ago period, due to a decline in home heating oil volume of 13.0 percent and lower selling prices.</p><p>
	Home heating oil volume for the fiscal 2010 first quarter decreased 14.2 million gallons to 95.4 million gallons due to the impacts of warmer temperatures, net customer attrition and conservation.&#xA0;Temperatures in Star&#x2019;s geographic areas of operations for the fiscal 2010 first quarter were 5.0 percent warmer than the fiscal 2009 first quarter and 2.2 percent warmer than normal, as reported by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration.&#xA0;</p><p>
	During the three-month period ended December 31, 2009, operating income increased $34.0 million to $26.6 million.</p><p>
	The Partnership reported net income of $12.0 million, a $20.0 million increase versus the fiscal 2009 first quarter, reflecting a favorable change in the fair value of derivative instruments of $40.2 million and lower operating expenses of $11.0 million (including lower delivery and branch, depreciation, and amortization expenses, along with increased net service gross profit), partially offset by an increase in non-cash deferred income tax expense of $9.3 million and lower product gross profit of $17.3 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, Star recorded a gain of $3.5 million in connection with repurchase of a portion of its Senior Notes, the Partnership did not repurchase any of its Notes during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.</p><p>
	Adjusted EBITDA decreased $8.8 million to $26.7 million, as compared to $35.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008.&#xA0;</p><p>
	&#x201C;As expected, our adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 declined as both temperatures and home heating oil per gallon margins normalized,&#x201D; said Dan Donovan, Star Gas Partners Chief Executive Officer.&#xA0;&#x201C;However, we were pleased that our ongoing effort to reduce losses and improve net customer attrition has gained some traction.&#xA0;We applaud all our employees in the field and the office who remain committed to providing superior customer service, leading to these strong results.</p><p>
	&#x201C;As previously announced, we have increased our quarterly distribution by 7.4 percent and are happy to report that the Partnership will pay a distribution of $0.0725 per common unit on February 12, 2010 to holders of record February 4, 2010.&#xA0;In addition, on February 19, 2010, we expect to complete the redemption of $50 million of our Senior Notes, saving the Partnership approximately $5 million in interest annually.&#xA0;We continue to evaluate our capital structure and, to date, have repurchased 4.9 million common units out of 7.5 million authorized.&#xA0;Given our strong balance sheet, we continue to take the appropriate steps to increase shareholder value and improve the Partnership&#x2019;s long-term financial performance.&#x201D;&#xA0;</p><p>
	<b>EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP Financial Measures)</b></p><p>
	EBITDA (Earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are used as supplemental financial measures by management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to assess:</p><ul>
	<li>
		our compliance with certain financial covenants included in our debt agreements;</li>
	<li>
		our financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or historical cost basis;</li>
	<li>
		our ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on our indebtedness and to make distributions to our partners;</li>
	<li>
		our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to those of other companies in the retail distribution of refined petroleum products business, without regard to financing methods and capital structure; and</li>
	<li>
		the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return of alternative investment opportunities.</li>
</ul><p>
	Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings from continuing operations before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, (increase) decrease in the fair value of derivatives, gain or loss on debt redemption, goodwill impairment, and other non-cash and non-operating charges. Management believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful because it allows investors to view the Partnership's performance in a manner similar to the method management uses, and makes it easier to compare its results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures. In addition, this measure is consistent with the manner in which the Partnership's debt covenants in its material debt agreements are calculated. Both the Partnership's 10.25% Senior Note agreement and its bank credit facility contain covenants that restrict equity distributions, acquisitions, and the amount of debt it can incur. Under the most restrictive of these covenants, which is found in the bank credit f
acility, the agent bank could step in and control all cash transactions for the Partnership if we failed to comply with the minimum availability or the fixed charge coverage ratio. The Partnership is required to maintain either availability (borrowing base less amounts borrowed and letters of credit issued) of $43.5 million (15% of the maximum facility size) or a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 (Adjusted EBITDA being a significant component of this calculation). This method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with that of other companies and should be viewed in conjunction with measurements that are computed in accordance with GAAP.</p><p>
	Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has its limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are:</p><ul>
	<li>
		EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash used for capital expenditures;</li>
	<li>
		Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized often will have to be replaced and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements for such replacements;</li>
	<li>
		EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital requirements;</li>
	<li>
		EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash necessary to make payments of interest or principal on our indebtedness; and</li>
	<li>
		EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash required to pay taxes.</li>
