UGI Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Q1 GAAP diluted EPS of $0.44 and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.20 compared to GAAP diluted EPS of $(4.54) and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.14 in the prior-year period.
  • Q1 reportable segments earnings before interest expense and income taxes1 ("EBIT") of $425 million compared to $411 million in the prior-year period.
  • Strong first quarter results despite warmer than normal weather across our service territories, largely due to a 77% increase in EBIT from UGI International attributable to the continued exit of the non-core energy marketing business, higher LPG volumes, and increased unit margins.
  • Available liquidity of approximately $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2023.
  • Received approval from the West Virginia Public Service Commission for Mountaineer's gas rate case. The settlement permitted a $13.9 million annual distribution rate increase, effective January 1, 2024, and a weather normalization adjustment mechanism effective October 1, 2024.
"Our fiscal first quarter results reflect the strong performance of UGI International and the natural gas businesses, and underscores our commitment to our customers, shareholders and employees," said Mario Longhi, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. "As previously anticipated and discussed on our year-end earnings call, AmeriGas experienced a decline in its year-over-year financial results. While effort was made to address the segment's performance, it is clear that there is a need for renewed focus on execution.

"Our strategic priorities are geared towards delivering reliable earnings growth, returning cash to shareholders through dividends, achieving sustainable cost savings, and strengthening the balance sheet. We have initiated actions to align our cost structure with the performance of each business, adjusted our capital allocation priorities, and lowered capital expenditures in the near term. Diligent execution of these actions should strengthen our core businesses and better position UGI to deliver sustainable value for its shareholders."
