AmeriGas Partners Reports First Quarter Results

VALLEY FORGE, Pa., January 26 — AmeriGas Propane, Inc., general partner of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (NYSE: APU), reported net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 ended December 31, 2010 of $74.9 million compared to $84.0 million for the same period last year. The Partnership’s earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $113.3 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $123.0 million for the same period last year.

For the three months ended December 31, 2010, retail propane volumes sold were 256.4 million gallons compared with retail propane volumes of 267.4 million gallons in the prior-year period. Weather was 2.2% warmer than normal and 3.4% warmer than in the prior-year period, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The decrease in volumes sold resulted from the warmer weather during the quarter, customer conservation and lower agricultural sales volumes following a strong crop drying season in the prior-year period.

Eugene V. N. Bissell, chief executive officer of AmeriGas, said, “The heating season got off to a slow start due to exceptionally warm early fall weather. The warmer weather and customer conservation contributed to lower sales volumes during the quarter. We also experienced more normal crop drying demand following a strong crop drying season in last year’s quarter. Our team did a fine job of managing the business through these challenges, enabling us to partially offset the effects of the lower volumes sold on our quarterly results. I am also pleased with the progress we made during the quarter in pursuing our growth objectives.”

Revenues for the quarter increased to $700.2 million from $656.6 million in the prior-year period, reflecting higher average selling prices partially offset by the lower volumes sold. The average wholesale cost of propane at Mont Belvieu, Texas for the current quarter was approximately 15% higher than the average cost in the same period last year. Total margin decreased $2.1 million, as lower volumes sold were partially offset by slightly higher unit margins and increased income from fees and sales of ancillary products and services. Operating expenses increased $9.6 million from the prior-year period, reflecting a number of items, including higher payroll and benefits costs and higher vehicle fuel expenses. Operating income decreased to $91.6 million from $102.6 million in the fiscal 2010 quarter, reflecting the increased expenses and lower total margin.

Separately, AmeriGas announced that for the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, the compound annual total return on Partnership units exceeded that of a substantial majority of the partnerships in its peer group of publicly traded master limited partnerships. As a result, employees who received performance-contingent unit awards in early 2008 in accordance with AmeriGas’s long-term compensation plan received a payout under the plan in Partnership units and were deemed to have sold a portion of the units to AmeriGas Partners for cash to pay income taxes. The appropriate disclosures on Form 4 have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

AmeriGas Partners is the nation’s largest retail propane marketer, serving approximately 1.3 million customers in all 50 states from nearly 1,200 locations. UGI Corporation (NYSE:UGI), through subsidiaries, owns 44% of the Partnership and the public owns the remaining 56%.

(a)		Income per limited partner unit is computed in accordance with accounting guidance regarding the application of the two-class method for determining earnings per share as it relates to master limited partnerships. Refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the AmeriGas Partners, L.P. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
(b)		Earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (as an indicator of operating performance) and is not a measure of performance or financial condition under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Management believes EBITDA is a meaningful non-GAAP financial measure used by investors to (1) compare the Partnership’s operating performance with other companies within the propane industry and (2) assess its ability to meet loan covenants. The Partnership’s definition of EBITDA may be different from that used by other companies.
		(continued)

		(continued)
		Management uses EBITDA to compare year-over-year profitability of the business without regard to capital structure as well as to compare the relative performance of the Partnership to that of other master limited partnerships without regard to their financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or historical cost basis. In view of the omission of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization from EBITDA, management also assesses the profitability of the business by comparing net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P for the relevant years.
		Management also uses EBITDA to assess the Partnership’s profitability because its parent, UGI Corporation, uses the Partnership’s EBITDA to assess the profitability of the Partnership. UGI Corporation discloses the Partnership’s EBITDA as the profitability measure to comply with the GAAP requirement to provide profitability information about its domestic propane segment.
		The following table includes reconciliations of net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for all periods presented:

		Three Months Ended								Twelve Months Ended
		December 31,								December 31,

Adjusted EBITDA (1)		$	113,329			$	123,000			$	330,506			$	340,296

(1)

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes the presentation of this measure provides useful information to investors to more effectively evaluate the year-over-year results of operations of the Partnership. This measure is not comparable to measures used by other entities and should only be considered in conjunction with net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P.for the relevant periods.
