Total Reportable Segment EBIT Growth
UGI reported total reportable segments EBIT of $441 million, up $21 million or 5% year-over-year, driven by higher gas base rates in Pennsylvania, colder weather and increased unit margins at UGI International.
Utilities Strong Performance and Volume Growth
Utilities EBIT was $157 million, up $16 million (~11%) year-over-year. Core market volumes increased ~16% (driven by temperatures ~21% colder than prior year) and the company added over 3,500 residential, commercial and industrial heating customers.
Safety and Operational Improvements at AmeriGas
AmeriGas showed material operational progress: a 45% reduction in recordable incidents and 60% fewer lost time injuries year-over-year, reduced zero-fill rates and average miles driven, lower customer service call volumes, highest Net Promoter Score since 2023, and an A-minus BBB ranking. Moody's upgraded AmeriGas' outlook to positive, reflecting operational and financial improvements.
UGI International Margin Management and EBIT Increase
UGI International reported EBIT of $124 million, up $14 million (~13%) year-over-year. Total margin increased by $20 million due to effective margin management and favorable foreign currency translation, helping offset volume declines and the effect of divestitures.
Portfolio Rationalization and Cash Proceeds
Portfolio rationalization substantially complete: agreements to divest LPG operations in seven European countries (representing ~5% of UGI International's prior-year EBIT) are expected to generate approximately $215 million in cash proceeds to strengthen the balance sheet and focus on higher-return markets.
Carlisle LNG Facility Operational and Capital Deployment
UGI deployed $225 million of capital during the quarter (73% directed to regulated utilities ~ $164.3 million) and brought the new Carlisle LNG storage and vaporization facility online, supporting integrated natural gas demand in the region under a long-term contract.
Liquidity and Credit Progress
Available liquidity was $1.6 billion, up $100 million versus prior year (≈ +6.7%). Moody's upgraded AmeriGas Partners' outlook to positive while affirming the B1 corporate family rating. Management remains focused on reducing leverage toward a sub-4.5x target through debt reduction and EBIT growth.
