Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. They include all adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items unless otherwise disclosed. The September 30, 2023, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report. Due to the seasonal nature of our businesses, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash principally represents those cash balances in our commodity futures brokerage accounts that are restricted from withdrawal. The following table provides a reconciliation of the total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the corresponding amounts reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

March 31,2024March 31,2023
Cash and cash equivalents$263$321
Restricted cash4582
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$308$403

Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per share attributable to UGI stockholders reflect the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share attributable to UGI stockholders include the effects of dilutive stock options, common stock awards and Equity Units. Shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Three Months EndedMarch 31,Six Months EndedMarch 31,
2024202320242023
Denominator (thousands of shares):
Weighted-average common shares outstanding — basic209,826209,857209,789209,902
Incremental shares issuable for stock options, common stock awards and Equity Units (a)5,4196,2635,604—
Weighted-average common shares outstanding — diluted215,245216,120215,393209,902

(a)For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023,8,659 and 5,980 shares, respectively, associated with outstanding stock option awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share above because their effect was antidilutive. For the six months ended March 31, 2024,8,468 shares associated with outstanding stock option awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share above because their effect was antidilutive. For the six months ended March 31, 2023,6,348 of such shares have been excluded as such incremental shares would be antidilutive due to the net loss for the period.

Derivative Instruments. Derivative instruments are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values, unless the NPNS exception is elected. The accounting for changes in fair value depends upon the purpose of the derivative instrument, whether it is subject to regulatory ratemaking mechanisms or if it qualifies and is designated as a hedge for accounting purposes.

Certain of our derivative instruments qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges. For cash flow hedges, changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments are recorded in AOCI, to the extent effective at offsetting changes in the hedged item, until earnings are affected by the hedged item. We discontinue cash flow hedge accounting if occurrence of the forecasted transaction is determined to be no longer probable. Hedge accounting is also discontinued for derivatives that cease to be highly effective. We do not designate our commodity and certain foreign currency derivative instruments as hedges under GAAP. Changes in the fair values of these derivative instruments are reflected in net income. Gains and losses on substantially all of the commodity derivative instruments used by Utilities are included in regulatory assets or liabilities because it is probable such gains or losses will be recoverable from, or refundable to, customers. From time to time, we also enter into net investment hedges. Gains and losses on net investment hedges that relate to our foreign operations are included in the cumulative translation adjustment component in AOCI until such foreign net investment is substantially sold or liquidated.

Cash flows from derivative instruments, other than net investment hedges, are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from net investment hedges are included in cash flows from investing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

For a more detailed description of the derivative instruments we use, our accounting for derivatives, our objectives for using them and other information, see Note 12.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and costs. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events, historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may be different from these estimates and assumptions.

Goodwill. We do not amortize goodwill, but test it at least annually for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or one level below an operating segment (a component) if it constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by segment management. Components are aggregated into a single reporting unit if they have similar economic characteristics. Each of our reporting units with goodwill is required to perform impairment tests annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the value of goodwill may be impaired.

As previously disclosed in Note 12 in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report, a non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $656 was recognized in Fiscal 2023 to reduce the carrying value of the AmeriGas Propane reporting unit to its fair value. The Company continues to monitor the AmeriGas Propane reporting unit for any changes in facts and circumstances that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of the AmeriGas Propane reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. No such indicators were identified at March 31, 2024, however if AmeriGas Propane were not able to achieve its anticipated results and/or if its discount rate were to increase, its fair value would be adversely affected, which may result in further impairment. There is approximately $1.4 billion of goodwill in this reporting unit as of March 31, 2024.

With respect to UGI International's Fiscal 2023 goodwill impairment test, we determined that UGI International’s fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. While the Company believes that its judgments used in the quantitative assessment of UGI International’s fair value are reasonable based upon currently available facts and circumstances, if UGI International were not able to achieve its anticipated results and/or if its discount rate were to increase, its fair value would be adversely affected, which may result in an impairment. There were no changes in facts and circumstances that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the UGI International reporting unit may not be in excess of its book value at March 31, 2024. There is approximately $931 of goodwill in this reporting unit as of March 31, 2024. The Company will continue to monitor its reporting units and related goodwill for any possible future non-cash impairment charges.

Note 3 — Accounting Changes

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted.

Segment Reporting. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)” which requires enhanced disclosure of (1) significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, (2) the amount and description of the composition of other segment items which reconcile to segment profit or loss, and (3) the title and position of the entity’s CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The amendments also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. This new guidance is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning October 1, 2024 (Fiscal 2025) and interim periods beginning October 1, 2025 (Fiscal 2026). Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statements from the adoption of the new guidance and the period in which the new guidance will be adopted.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)” which requires entities to disclose, among other items, disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This new guidance is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning October 1, 2025 (Fiscal 2026). Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU may be adopted using the prospective or retrospective methods. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statements and determining the transition method and the period in which the new guidance will be adopted.

Note 4 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes revenue when control of promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. See Note 4 in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report for additional information on our revenues from contracts with customers.

(a)Includes intersegment revenues principally among Midstream & Marketing, and Utilities.

(b)Corporate & Other includes reduction of revenues of $42 associated with the early termination of certain DVEP customer contracts. See Note 5 for additional information.

(c)Primarily represents (1) revenues from tank rentals at AmeriGas Propane and UGI International; (2) revenues from certain gathering assets at Midstream & Marketing; (3) revenues from alternative revenue programs at Utilities, including the weather normalization adjustment rider beginning on November 1, 2022 for PA Gas Utility; and (4) gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions reflected in Corporate & Other, none of which are within the scope of ASC 606 and are accounted for in accordance with other GAAP.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers or cash receipts. Contract assets represent our right to consideration after the performance obligations have been satisfied when such right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets were not material for all periods presented. Substantially all of our receivables are unconditional rights to consideration and are included in “Accounts receivable” and, in the case of Utilities, “Accrued utility revenues” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts billed are generally due within the following month.

Contract liabilities arise when payment from a customer is received before the performance obligations have been satisfied and represent the Company’s obligations to transfer goods or services to a customer for which we have received consideration. The balances of contract liabilities were $126, $158 and $126 at March 31, 2024, September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in “Other current liabilities” and “Other noncurrent liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated

Balance Sheets. Revenues recognized for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, from the amounts included in contract liabilities at September 30, 2023 and 2022, were $114 and $119, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company excludes disclosures related to the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to certain performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period because these contracts have an initial expected term of one year or less, or we have a right to bill the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of services provided to the customer to date. Certain contracts with customers at Midstream & Marketing and Utilities contain minimum future performance obligations through 2047 and 2053, respectively. At March 31, 2024, Midstream & Marketing and Utilities expect to record approximately $2.3 billion and $0.2 billion of revenues, respectively, related to the minimum future performance obligations over the remaining terms of the related contracts.

Note 5 — Dispositions

UGI International Energy Marketing Transactions

As of the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, pursuant to its previously announced decision, the Company had exited substantially all of its European energy marketing business which primarily marketed natural gas and electricity to customers through third-party distribution systems in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

France. In October 2023, UGI International, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, sold substantially all of its energy marketing business located in France for a net cash payment to the buyer of $28. In conjunction with the sale, during the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $28, which amount principally represents the net payment to the buyer. The loss is reflected in “Loss on disposal of UGI International energy marketing business” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with this business, principally comprising certain commodity derivative instruments, energy certificates and certain working capital, were not material.

Belgium. In September 2023, UGI International, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, sold its energy marketing business located in Belgium for a net cash payment to the buyer of $3. Pursuant to the sale agreement, the Company transferred to the buyer certain assets, principally comprising customer and energy broker contracts. In conjunction with the sale, during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $6 which amount includes the net payment to the buyer, the write-off of certain prepaid energy broker payments and associated transaction costs and fees.

United Kingdom. In October 2022, UGI International, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, sold its natural gas marketing business located in the U.K. for a net cash payment to the buyer of $19 which includes certain working capital adjustments. In conjunction with the sale, during the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $215 substantially all of which was due to the non-cash transfer of commodity derivative instruments associated with the business. The loss is reflected in “Loss on disposal of UGI International energy marketing business” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At the date of closing of the sale, these commodity derivative instruments had a net carrying value of $206 which is attributable to net unrealized gains on such instruments.

Netherlands. In September 2023, a substantial number of DVEP’s customers agreed to modify their energy marketing contracts whereby the Company would continue to provide the delivery of electricity and natural gas at fixed prices through December 31, 2023, with the Company’s obligations to provide future services terminated effective January 1, 2024. As consideration for the early termination of such contracts, the Company has agreed to make cash payments to the customers equal to the fair values of specific commodity derivative instruments associated with periods after December 31, 2023. The early termination agreements with DVEP customers are considered contract modifications and the cash consideration paid to these customers has been reflected as a reduction in revenues, on a pro-rata basis, over the remaining performance period of such agreements through December 31, 2023. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company settled the commodity derivative instruments for a gain of $46, which represents the fair value of the specific commodity derivative instruments associated with periods after December 31, 2023; and reduced its revenues from these customers by $42, which represents the pro-rated performance obligation from October 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

In conjunction with the wind-down of its European energy marketing business, in December 2023, DVEP completed a sale of a substantial portion of its power purchase agreements to a third party for a total consideration to the buyer of $5. In conjunction with the sale, the Company recorded a loss of $5, which is reflected in “Other operating income, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company recorded a $19 pre-tax impairment charge to reduce the carrying values of certain assets associated with its energy marketing business in the Netherlands, comprising property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The impairment charge is reflected in “Operating and administrative expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and included in the UGI International reportable segment.

Note 7 — Utility Regulatory Assets and Liabilities and Regulatory Matters

For a description of the Company’s regulatory assets and liabilities, other than those described below, see Note 9 in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report. Other than removal costs, Utilities currently does not recover a rate of return on its regulatory assets listed below. The following regulatory assets and liabilities associated with Utilities are included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

March 31,2024September 30,2023March 31,2023
Regulatory assets (a):
Income taxes recoverable$93$94$94
Underfunded pension plans109111118

Total regulatory liabilities$347$366$345

(a)Current regulatory assets are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and regulatory liabilities are included in “Other current liabilities” and “Other noncurrent liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Deferred fuel and power - costs and refunds. Utilities’ tariffs contain clauses that permit recovery of all prudently incurred purchased gas and power costs through the application of PGC rates, PGA rates and DS tariffs. These clauses provide for periodic adjustments to PGC, PGA and DS rates for differences between the total amount of purchased gas and electric generation supply costs collected from customers and recoverable costs incurred. Net undercollected costs are classified as a regulatory asset and net overcollections are classified as a regulatory liability.

PA Gas Utility uses derivative instruments to reduce volatility in the cost of gas it purchases for retail core-market customers. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on natural gas derivative instruments are included in deferred fuel and power costs or refunds. Net unrealized losses on such contracts at March 31, 2024, September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were $7, $2 and $17, respectively.

Other Regulatory Matters

UGI Utilities. On January 27, 2023, Electric Utility filed a request with the PAPUC to increase its annual base distribution revenues by $11. On September 21, 2023, the PAPUC issued a final order approving a settlement providing for a $9 annual base distribution rate increase for Electric Utility, effective October 1, 2023.

On January 28, 2022, PA Gas Utility filed a request with the PAPUC to increase its base operating revenues for residential, commercial and industrial customers by $83 annually. On September 15, 2022, the PAPUC issued a final order approving a settlement providing for a $49 annual base distribution rate increase for PA Gas Utility, through a phased approach, with $38 beginning October 29, 2022 and an additional $11 beginning October 1, 2023. In accordance with the terms of the final order, PA Gas Utility was not permitted to file a rate case prior to January 1, 2024. Also in accordance with the terms of the final order, PA Gas Utility was authorized to implement a weather normalization adjustment rider as afive-year pilot program beginning on November 1, 2022. Under this rider, when weather deviates from normal by more than 3%, for bills rendered during the period of October 1 through May 31, residential and small commercial customer billings for distribution services are adjusted monthly for weather related impacts exceeding the 3% threshold. Additionally, under the terms of the final order, PA Gas Utility was authorized to implement a DSIC once its total property, plant and equipment less accumulated depreciation reached $3,368 (which threshold was achieved in September 2022).

Mountaineer. On July 31, 2023, Mountaineer submitted its 2023 IREP filing to the WVPSC requesting recovery of $10 for costs associated with capital investments after December 31, 2022, that total $131, including $67 in calendar year 2024. The filing included capital investments totaling $383 over the 2024 - 2028 period. On December 20, 2023, the WVPSC issued a final order approving a settlement effective January 1, 2024.

On March 6, 2023, Mountaineer submitted a base rate case filing with the WVPSC seeking a net revenue increase of $20, which consists of an increase in base rates of $38 and a decrease in the IREP rates of $18 annually. On October 6, 2023, Mountaineer filed a joint stipulation and agreement for settlement of the base rate case, which included a $14 net revenue increase, effective January 1, 2024. On December 21, 2023, the WVPSC issued a final order approving the joint stipulation and agreement, except the WVPSC authorized Mountaineer to implement a weather normalization adjustment rider as afive-year pilot program beginning on October 1, 2024. On April 11, 2024 the WVPSC approved the calculation methodology submitted by Mountaineer on March 28, 2024. Under this rider, when weather deviates from normal by more than 2%, for service rendered during the period October 1 through May 31, residential and small commercial customer billings for distribution services are adjusted for weather related impacts exceeding the 2% threshold.

On July 29, 2022, Mountaineer submitted its 2022 IREP filing to the WVPSC requesting recovery of costs associated with capital investments totaling $354 over the 2023 - 2027 period, including $64 in calendar year 2023.

Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, UGI Utilities issued (1) $25 aggregate principal amount of 6.02% Senior Notes due November 30, 2030; (2) $150 aggregate principal amount of 6.10% Senior Notes due November 30, 2033; and (3) $75 aggregate principal amount of 6.40% Senior Notes due November 30, 2053. The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary covenants and default provisions and requires compliance with certain financial covenants including a leverage ratio and priority debt ratio as defined in the agreement. These senior notes are unsecured and rank equally with UGI Utilities’ existing outstanding senior debt. The net proceeds from these issuances were used to reduce short-term borrowings and for general corporate purposes.

2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement. Under the 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement, AmeriGas OLP, as borrower, is required to comply with financial covenants related to leverage and interest coverage measured at the Partnership and at AmeriGas OLP. The 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement contains an equity cure provision, which allows AmeriGas OLP’s direct or indirect parent, including UGI and its other subsidiaries, to fund capital contributions to eliminate any EBITDA (as defined in the 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement) shortfalls that would otherwise result in non-compliance with these financial covenants. Each equity cure is eligible to eliminate such EBITDA shortfalls up to four quarters after contribution. We are permitted to use the equity cure provision five times over the course of the Credit Agreement, twice during any rolling four-quarter period, and not in consecutive quarters.

UGI made capital contributions to AmeriGas OLP during Fiscal 2023, a portion of which representedone equity cure that was eligible to eliminate any EBITDA shortfalls through December 31, 2023, in accordance with the 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement. As a result of such capital contributions, AmeriGas OLP and the Partnership were in compliance with all financial covenants after consideration of the equity cure provision as of December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Partnership was in compliance with all debt covenants as set forth in the 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement without the consideration of the equity cure provision. The financial covenant leverage ratio under the 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2024 must be no greater than 5.75, with a decrease to 5.50 beginning in September 2024. The actual leverage ratio as of March 31, 2024 was 5.74.

UGI provided an irrevocable letter of support whereby UGI has committed to fund any such EBITDA shortfalls and debt service, if any. Based on the support and the projected EBITDA, AmeriGas OLP is expected to remain in compliance with its financial debt covenants for the succeeding twelve-month period.

On November 15, 2023, the Partnership entered into an amendment to the 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement, which amends certain provisions of the credit agreement to, among other things, (i) reduce the maximum revolver amount from $600 to $400, (ii) reduce the minimum interest coverage ratio, effective for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023 through the end of Fiscal 2024 and (iii) provided that, beginning for the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, the minimum interest coverage ratio will remain reduced if the net leverage ratio is below a certain threshold as defined by the agreement; if the net leverage ratio exceeds such threshold, the minimum interest coverage ratio will revert to the original ratio as defined by the agreement.

UGI Utilities 2023 Credit Agreement. On November 9, 2023, UGI Utilities entered into the UGI Utilities 2023 Credit Agreement providing for borrowings up to $375 (including a $50 sublimit for letters of credit and a $38 sublimit for swingline loans). UGI Utilities may request an increase in the amount of loan commitments under the credit agreement to a maximum aggregate amount of $125. The interest rates applicable to borrowings under the UGI Utilities 2023 Credit Agreement remain unchanged from its predecessor agreement, the UGI Utilities Credit Agreement. The UGI Utilities 2023 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and default provisions and requires compliance with certain financial covenants including a maximum debt to capitalization ratio as defined in the agreement. The credit agreement is scheduled to expire November 2028. Borrowings under the credit agreement may be used to refinance UGI Utilities existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes and ongoing working capital needs of UGI Utilities.

Note 9 — Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters

UGI Utilities

From the late 1800s through the mid-1900s, UGI Utilities and its former subsidiaries owned and operated a number of MGPs prior to the general availability of natural gas. Some constituents of coal tars and other residues of the manufactured gas process are today considered hazardous substances under the Superfund Law and may be present on the sites of former MGPs. Between 1882 and 1953, UGI Utilities owned the stock of subsidiary gas companies in Pennsylvania and elsewhere and also operated the businesses of some gas companies under agreement. By the early 1950s, UGI Utilities divested all of its utility operations other than certain gas and electric operations. Beginning in 2006 and 2008, UGI Utilities also owned and operatedtwo acquired subsidiaries, with similar histories of owning, and in some cases operating, MGPs in Pennsylvania.

UGI Utilities is subject to a COA with the PADEP to address the remediation of specified former MGP sites in Pennsylvania, which is scheduled to terminate at the end of 2031. In accordance with the COA, UGI Utilities is required to either obtain a certain number of points per calendar year based on defined eligible environmental investigatory and/or remedial activities at the MGPs, or make expenditures for such activities in an amount equal to an annual environmental minimum expenditure threshold. The annual minimum expenditure threshold of the COA is $5. At March 31, 2024, September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, our aggregate estimated accrued liabilities for environmental investigation and remediation costs related to the COA totaled $56, $52 and $52, respectively.

We do not expect the costs for investigation and remediation of hazardous substances at Pennsylvania MGP sites to be material to UGI Utilities’ results of operations because UGI Utilities receives ratemaking recovery of actual environmental investigation and remediation costs associated with the sites covered by the COA. This ratemaking recognition reconciles the accumulated difference between historical costs and rate recoveries with an estimate of future costs associated with the sites. As such, UGI Utilities has recorded an associated regulatory asset for these costs because recovery of these costs from customers is probable (see Note 7).

From time to time, UGI Utilities is notified of sites outside Pennsylvania on which private parties allege MGPs were formerly owned or operated by UGI Utilities or owned or operated by a former subsidiary. Such parties generally investigate the extent of environmental contamination or perform environmental remediation. Management believes that under applicable law, UGI Utilities should not be liable in those instances in which a former subsidiary owned or operated an MGP. There could be, however, significant future costs of an uncertain amount associated with environmental damage caused by MGPs outside Pennsylvania that UGI Utilities directly operated, or that were owned or operated by a former subsidiary of UGI Utilities if a court were to conclude that (1) the subsidiary’s separate corporate form should be disregarded, or (2) UGI Utilities should be considered to have been an operator because of its conduct with respect to its subsidiary’s MGP. Neither the undiscounted nor the accrued liability for environmental investigation and cleanup costs for UGI Utilities’ MGP sites outside Pennsylvania were material for all periods presented.

AmeriGas OLP Saranac Lake. In 2008, the NYDEC notified AmeriGas OLP that the NYDEC had placed property purportedly owned by AmeriGas OLP in Saranac Lake, New York on the New York State Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites. A site characterization study performed by the NYDEC disclosed contamination related to a former MGP. AmeriGas OLP responded to the NYDEC in 2009 to dispute the contention it was a PRP as it did not operate the MGP and appeared to only own a portion of the site. In 2017, the NYDEC communicated to AmeriGas OLP that the NYDEC had previously issued three RODs related to remediation of the site totaling approximately $28 and requested additional information regarding

AmeriGas OLP’s purported ownership. AmeriGas OLP renewed its challenge to designation as a PRP and identified potential defenses. The NYDEC subsequently identified a third party PRP with respect to the site.

The NYDEC commenced implementation of the remediation plan in the spring of 2018. Based on our evaluation of the available information as of March 31, 2024, the Partnership has an undiscounted environmental remediation liability of $8 related to the site. Our share of the actual remediation costs could be significantly more or less than the accrued amount.

Other Matters

West Reading, Pennsylvania Explosion. On March 24, 2023, an explosion occurred in West Reading, Pennsylvania which resulted inseven fatalities, significant injuries toeleven others, and extensive property damage to buildings owned by R.M. Palmer, a local chocolate manufacturer, and other neighboring structures. The NTSB and the PAPUC are investigating the West Reading incident. On July 18, 2023, the NTSB issued an Investigative Update in its ongoing investigation and on February 22, 2024 it released its investigation docket including factual reports and detailed incident documentation. The NTSB report identified a fracture in a retired UGI Utilities gas service tee and a fracture in a nearby steam system, but it does not address causation of the fractures or the explosion. The NTSB investigative team includes representatives from the Company, the PAPUC, the local fire department and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. The Company is cooperating with the investigation. The NTSB may invite other parties to participate. In September 2023, OSHA closed their investigation of this matter, without any finding pertaining to UGI Utilities.

While the investigation into this incident is still underway and the cause of the explosion has not been determined, the Company has received claims as a result of the explosion and is involved in lawsuits relative to the incident. The Company maintains liability insurance for personal injury, property and casualty damages and believes that third-party claims associated with the explosion, in excess of the Company’s deductible, are recoverable through the Company’s insurance. The Company cannot predict the result of these pending or future claims and legal actions at this time.

Regarding these pending claims and legal actions, the Company does not believe, at this early stage, that there is sufficient information available to reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, or conclude that the final outcome of these matters will or will not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In addition to the matters described above, there are other pending claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of our businesses. Although we cannot predict the final results of these pending claims and legal actions, including those described above, we believe, after consultation with counsel, that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, UGI France initiated VDPs in consultation with the French Works Councils, pursuant to which employees are incentivized to voluntarily terminate employment or may be subject to involuntary termination to achieve certain workforce reductions. As of March 31, 2024, likelihood of termination benefits under VDPs was probable and the amount of such benefits was reasonably estimable. As a result, in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, UGI International recorded pre-tax severance and other related expenses of $34, which are reflected in “Operating and administrative expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 10 — Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans

The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans for certain current and former employees. The service cost component of our pension and other postretirement plans, net of amounts capitalized, is reflected in “Operating and administrative expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The non-service cost components, net of amounts capitalized by Utilities as a regulatory asset, are reflected in “Other non-operating income (expense), net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other postretirement benefit cost was not material for all periods presented.

Net periodic pension benefit cost (income) includes the following components:

(a)Consists primarily of mutual fund investments held in grantor trusts associated with non-qualified supplemental retirement plans.

(b)Includes derivative assets and liabilities associated with certain UGI International energy marketing business transactions (see Note 5).

The fair values of our Level 1 exchange-traded commodity futures and option contracts and non-exchange-traded commodity futures and forward contracts are based upon actively quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities. Substantially all of the remaining derivative instruments are designated as Level 2. The fair values of certain non-exchange-traded commodity derivatives designated as Level 2 are based upon indicative price quotations available through brokers, industry price publications or recent market transactions and related market indicators. The fair values of our Level 2 interest rate contracts and foreign currency contracts are based upon third-party quotes or indicative values based on recent market transactions. The fair values of investments held in grantor trusts are derived from quoted market prices as substantially all of the investments in these trusts have active markets.

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities (except for current maturities of long-term debt) approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature. We estimate the fair value of long-term debt by using current market rates and by discounting future cash flows using rates available for similar type debt (Level 2). The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our long-term debt (including current maturities but excluding unamortized debt issuance costs) were as follows:

March 31, 2024September 30, 2023March 31, 2023
Carrying amount$6,826$6,647$6,805
Estimated fair value$6,647$6,238$6,480

Financial instruments other than derivative instruments, such as short-term investments and trade accounts receivable, could expose us to concentrations of credit risk. We limit credit risk from short-term investments by investing only in investment-grade commercial paper, money market mutual funds, securities guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and FDIC insured bank deposits. The credit risk arising from concentrations of trade accounts receivable is limited because we have a large customer base that extends across many different U.S. markets and a number of foreign countries. For information regarding concentrations of credit risk associated with our derivative instruments, see Note 12.

Note 12 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to certain market risks related to our ongoing business operations. Management uses derivative financial and commodity instruments, among other things, to manage: (1) commodity price risk; (2) interest rate risk; and (3) foreign currency exchange rate risk. Although we use derivative financial and commodity instruments to reduce market risk associated with forecasted transactions, we do not use derivative financial and commodity instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The use of derivative instruments is controlled by our risk management and credit policies, which govern, among other things, the derivative instruments we can use, counterparty credit limits and contract authorization limits. Although our commodity derivative instruments extend over a number of years, a significant portion of our commodity derivative instruments economically hedge commodity price risk during the next twelve months. For information on the accounting for our derivative instruments, see Note 2.

The following sections summarize the types of derivative instruments used by the Company to manage these market risks.

Commodity Price Risk

Regulated Utility Operations

Natural Gas

PA Gas Utility’s tariffs contain clauses that permit recovery of all prudently incurred costs of natural gas it sells to retail core-market customers, including the cost of financial instruments used to hedge purchased gas costs. As permitted and agreed to by the PAPUC pursuant to PA Gas Utility’s annual PGC filings, PA Gas Utility currently uses NYMEX natural gas futures and option contracts to reduce commodity price volatility associated with a portion of the natural gas it purchases for its retail core-market customers. See Note 7 for further information on the regulatory accounting treatment for these derivative instruments.

Non-utility Operations

LPG

In order to manage market price risk associated with the Partnership’s fixed-price programs and to reduce the effects of short-term commodity price volatility, the Partnership uses over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments, principally price swap contracts. In addition, the Partnership and our UGI International operations also use over-the-counter price swap and option contracts to reduce commodity price volatility associated with a portion of their forecasted LPG purchases.

Natural Gas

In order to manage market price risk relating to fixed-price sales contracts for physical natural gas, Midstream & Marketing enters into NYMEX and over-the-counter natural gas futures and over-the-counter and ICE natural gas basis swap contracts. In addition, Midstream & Marketing uses NYMEX and over-the-counter futures and options contracts to economically hedge price volatility associated with the gross margin derived from the purchase and anticipated later near-term sale of natural gas storage inventories. Outside of the financial market, Midstream & Marketing also uses ICE and over-the-counter forward physical contracts. UGI International also uses natural gas futures and forward contracts to economically hedge market price risk associated with a substantial portion of anticipated volumes under fixed-price sales contracts with its customers. See Note 5 for information on the exit of substantially all of the Company’s European energy marketing business.

Electricity

In order to manage market price risk relating to fixed-price sales contracts for electricity, Midstream & Marketing enters into electricity futures and forward contracts. Midstream & Marketing also uses NYMEX and over-the-counter electricity futures contracts to economically hedge the price of a portion of its anticipated future sales of electricity from its electric generation facilities. UGI International also uses electricity futures and forward contracts to economically hedge market price risk associated with fixed-price sales and purchase contracts for electricity. See Note 5 for information on the exit of substantially all of the Company’s European energy marketing business.

Interest Rate Risk

Certain of our long-term debt agreements have interest rates that are generally indexed to short-term market interest rates. In order to fix the underlying short-term market interest rates, we may enter into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreements and designate such swaps as cash flow hedges.

The remainder of our long-term debt is typically issued at fixed rates of interest. As this long-term debt matures, we typically refinance such debt with new debt having interest rates reflecting then-current market conditions. In order to reduce market rate risk on the underlying benchmark rate of interest associated with near- to medium-term forecasted issuances of fixed-rate debt, from time to time we enter into IRPAs. We account for IRPAs as cash flow hedges. There wereno unsettled IRPAs during any of the periods presented. At March 31, 2024, the amount of pre-tax net gains associated with interest rate hedges expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months is $19.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

In order to reduce the volatility in net income associated with our foreign operations, principally as a result of changes in the USD exchange rate to the euro and British pound sterling, we enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. We layer in these foreign currency exchange contracts over multi-year periods to eventually equal approximately 90% of anticipated UGI International foreign currency earnings before income taxes. Because these contracts are not designated as hedging instruments, realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are recorded in “Other non-operating income (expense), net,” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Net Investment Hedges

From time to time, we also enter into certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the volatility of the USD value of a portion of our UGI International euro-denominated net investments, including anticipated foreign currency denominated dividends. We account for these foreign currency exchange contracts as net investment hedges and all changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported in the cumulative translation adjustment component in AOCI. We use the spot rate method to measure ineffectiveness of our net investment hedges.

Our euro-denominated long-term debt has also been designated as net investment hedges, representing a portion of our UGI International euro-denominated net investment. We recognized pre-tax gains (losses) associated with these net investment hedges in the cumulative translation adjustment component in AOCI of $17 and $(9) during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $(15) and $(73) during the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(a)Amounts at September 30, 2023 include contracts associated with certain UGI International energy marketing business transactions (see Note 5).

Derivative Instrument Credit Risk

We are exposed to risk of loss in the event of nonperformance by our derivative instrument counterparties. Our derivative instrument counterparties principally comprise large energy companies and major U.S. and international financial institutions. We maintain credit policies with regard to our counterparties that we believe reduce overall credit risk. These policies include evaluating and monitoring our counterparties’ financial condition, including their credit ratings, and entering into agreements with counterparties that govern credit limits or entering into netting agreements that allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain financial transactions, as deemed appropriate.

We have concentrations of credit risk associated with derivative instruments and we evaluate the creditworthiness of our derivative counterparties on an ongoing basis. As of March 31, 2024, the maximum amount of loss, based upon the gross fair values of the derivative instruments, we would incur if these counterparties failed to perform according to the terms of their contracts was $173. In general, many of our over-the-counter derivative instruments and all exchange contracts call for the posting of collateral by the counterparty or by the Company in the forms of letters of credit, parental guarantees or cash. At March 31, 2024, we had received cash collateral from derivative instrument counterparties totaling $6. In addition, we may have offsetting derivative liabilities and certain accounts payable balances with certain of these counterparties, which further mitigates the previously mentioned maximum amount of losses. Certain of the Partnership’s derivative contracts have credit-risk-related contingent features that may require the posting of additional collateral in the event of a downgrade of the Partnership’s debt rating. At March 31, 2024, if the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered, the amount of collateral required to be posted would not be material.

Offsetting Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Derivative assets and liabilities are presented net by counterparty on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets if the right of offset exists. We offset amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty. Our derivative instruments include both those that are executed on an exchange through brokers and centrally cleared and over-the-counter transactions. Exchange contracts utilize a financial intermediary, exchange or clearinghouse to enter, execute or clear the transactions. Over-the-counter contracts are bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with a third party. Certain over-the-counter and exchange contracts contain contractual rights of offset through master netting arrangements, derivative clearing agreements and contract default provisions. In addition, the contracts are subject to conditional rights of offset through counterparty nonperformance, insolvency or other conditions.

In general, many of our over-the-counter transactions and all exchange contracts are subject to collateral requirements. Types of collateral generally include cash or letters of credit. Cash collateral paid by us to our over-the-counter derivative counterparties, if any, is reflected in the table below to offset derivative liabilities. Cash collateral received by us from our over-the-counter derivative counterparties, if any, is reflected in the table below to offset derivative assets. Certain other accounts receivable and accounts payable balances recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with our derivative counterparties are not included in the table below but could reduce our net exposure to such counterparties because such balances are subject to master netting or similar arrangements.

We are also a party to a number of other contracts that have elements of a derivative instrument. However, these contracts qualify for NPNS exception accounting because they provide for the delivery of products or services in quantities that are expected to be used in the normal course of operating our business and the price in these contracts are based on an underlying that is directly associated with the price of the product or service being purchased or sold. These contracts include, among others, binding purchase orders, contracts that provide for the purchase and delivery, or sale, of energy products, and service contracts that require the counterparty to provide commodity storage, transportation or capacity service to meet our normal sales commitments.
