Segment performance
Utilities: EBIT $250 million, up $9 million; total margin increased $23 million due to higher gas-based rates in Pennsylvania, weather normalization adjustment mitigated $19 million weather impact, operating and administrative expenses increased $8 million, depreciation and amortization rose $4 million. Midstream and marketing: EBIT $150 million, down $4 million; heating degree days 3% colder, longer cold weather duration focused on peaking customers, operating and administrative expenses higher due to new assets. Global LPG businesses - UGI International: EBIT $132 million, down $11 million; retail volumes 8% lower due to divestitures and warmer weather, total margin down $4 million offset by translation effects of stronger foreign currencies, operating and administrative expenses comparable, other income declined $11 million. Amerigas: EBIT $156 million, up $2 million; retail gallons decreased 5% due to warmer weather in West and customer attrition, total margin increased $2 million, OPEX increased $2 million. Year-to-date: adjusted diluted EPS $3.35, core EBIT growth driven by higher gas base rates offsetting warmer weather and LPG divestitures, offset by higher income tax expense and interest expense
Guidance
• Revising fiscal 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance range to $2.75 to $2.90, primarily due to lower expected earnings contributions from midstream and marketing segment (delays in planned growth investments and lower production volume in Appalachian region) and slower operational improvements at Amerigas translating into earnings than originally anticipated. • UGI Corporation net leverage 3.7 times at end of quarter, lowest in five years; Amerigas net leverage 4.7 times, lowest in five years. • UGI International will pay special one-time dividend of $300 million to UGI Corporation using available liquidity, funds contributed to Amerigas to retire outstanding indebtedness, aiming to optimize consolidated cost of capital, accelerate deleveraging at Amerigas, and unlock investment capacity for growth opportunities
Risks
• In global LPG businesses, monitoring geopolitical situation involving Iran, but structure of LPG contracts and proactive actions give confidence no impact to margin or supply availability constraints. • For midstream, potential delays in inorganic growth opportunities due to reassessment of valuations by owners with potential growth in power and gas needs in region. • Amerigas facing challenges like customer attrition, warmer weather impacting retail volumes
