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 UGI’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 all energy products, including propane, natural gas, electricity and fuel oil, increased customer conservation measures, the impact of pending and future legal proceedings, domestic and international political, regulatory and economic conditions including currency exchange rate fluctuations (particularly the euro), the timing of development of Marcellus Shale gas production, the timing and success of our commercial initiatives and investments to grow our business, and our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses, including Heritage Propane, and achieve anticipated synergies.

Appendix |
May 1, 2013 22 AmeriGas Supplemental Information: Footnotes 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 from EBITDA and Adjusted 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, which is one of UGI Corporation’s industry segments. UGI Corporation discloses the Partnership's EBITDA in its disclosures about its industry segments as the profitability measure for its domestic propane segment. |
May 1, 2013 23 AmeriGas Propane EBITDA Reconciliation (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. 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. 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. 2013 2012 2013 2012 2013 2012 Net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. 221,820 $ 133,885 $ 318,485 $ 176,410 $ 153,100 $ 122,063 $ Income tax (benefit) expense (52) 764 575 1,214 1,292 1,256 Interest expense 41,776 45,045 82,972 61,578 164,035 93,374 Depreciation 37,607 35,351 75,930 56,282 153,873 98,841 Amortization 11,022 9,441 22,050 12,698 44,250 18,978 EBITDA 312,173 $ 224,486 $ 500,012 $ 308,182 $ 516,550 $ 334,512 $ Heritage Propane acquisition and transition expense 5,396 8,138 10,884 11,855 45,216 11,855 Loss (gain) on extinguishments of debt - 13,379 - 13,379 (30) 32,695 Adjusted EBITDA (1) 317,569 $ 246,003 $ 510,896 $ 333,416 $ 561,736 $ 379,062 $ March 31, Twelve Months Ended March 31, Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, |
