About This Presentation
AmeriGas Partners | Fiscal 2017 Results
This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements that management believes to be
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. You should read
AmeriGas’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more extensive list of factors that could affect results.
Among them are adverse weather conditions, cost volatility and availability of propane, increased
customer conservation measures, the impact of pending and future legal proceedings, liability for
uninsured claims and for claims in excess of insurance coverage, political, regulatory and economic
conditions in the United States and in foreign countries, the availability, timing and success of our
acquisitions, commercial initiatives and investments to grow our business, our ability to successfully
integrate acquired businesses and achieve anticipated synergies, and the interruption, disruption, failure,
malfunction, or breach of our information technology systems, including due to cyber-attack. AmeriGas
undertakes no obligation to release revisions to its forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances occurring after today. In addition, this presentation uses certain non-GAAP financial
measures. Please see the appendix for reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP
financial measure.

APPENDIX
8
• Because we are unable to predict certain potentially material items affecting net income on a GAAP basis, principally mark-to-market
gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments, we cannot reconcile 2018 Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to net income
attribute to AmeriGas Partners, L.P., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in reliance on the “unreasonable efforts” exception set
forth in SEC rules. Adjustments that management can reasonably estimate are provided in the appendix.
• The enclosed supplemental information contains a reconciliation of earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income.
• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance or financial condition under accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States ("GAAP"). Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are meaningful non-GAAP financial measures used by
investors to compare the Partnership's operating performance with that of other companies within the propane industry. The
Partnership's definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be different from those used by other companies.
• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P.
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. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to exclude from AmeriGas
Partners’ EBITDA gains and losses that competitors do not necessarily have to provide additional insight into the comparison of year-
over-year profitability to that of other master limited partnerships. In view of the omission of interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions, and other gains
and losses that competitors do not necessarily have from Adjusted EBITDA, management also assesses the profitability of the business
by comparing net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. for the relevant periods. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to
assess the Partnership's profitability because its parent, UGI Corporation, uses the Partnership's Adjusted EBITDA to assess the
profitability of the Partnership, which is one of UGI Corporation’s business segments. UGI Corporation discloses the Partnership's
Adjusted EBITDA as the profitability measure for its domestic propane segment.
