Nature of Operations
Nature of Operations
Nature of Operations

UGI Corporation (“UGI”) is a holding company that, through subsidiaries and affiliates, distributes and markets energy products and related services. In the United States, we (1) are the general partner and own limited partner interests in a retail propane marketing and distribution business; (2) own and operate natural gas and electric distribution utilities; (3) own all or a portion of electricity generation facilities; and (4) own and operate an energy marketing, midstream infrastructure, storage, natural gas gathering and energy services business. Internationally, we market and distribute propane and other liquefied petroleum gases (“LPG”) in Europe and China. We refer to UGI and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively as the “Company” or “we.”
We conduct a domestic propane marketing and distribution business through AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“AmeriGas Partners”), a publicly traded limited partnership, and its principal operating subsidiary AmeriGas Propane, L.P. (“AmeriGas OLP”) and through AmeriGas OLP’s principal operating subsidiary Heritage Operating, L.P. (“HOLP”). AmeriGas OLP and HOLP are collectively referred to herein as the “Operating Partnerships.” AmeriGas Partners, AmeriGas OLP and HOLP are Delaware limited partnerships. UGI’s wholly owned second-tier subsidiary, AmeriGas Propane, Inc. (the “General Partner”), serves as the general partner of AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP. We refer to AmeriGas Partners and its subsidiaries together as the “Partnership” and the General Partner and its subsidiaries, including the Partnership, as “AmeriGas Propane.” At March 31, 2013, the General Partner held a 1% general partner interest and 25.3% limited partner interest in AmeriGas Partners and an effective 27.1% ownership interest in AmeriGas OLP. Our limited partnership interest in AmeriGas Partners comprises 23,756,882 AmeriGas Partners Common Units (“Common Units”). The remaining 73.7% interest in AmeriGas Partners comprises 39,492,661 publicly held Common Units and 29,567,362 Common Units held by a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”) as a result of the January 12, 2012, acquisition of substantially all of ETP's propane operations (“Heritage Propane”).
Our wholly owned subsidiary, UGI Enterprises, Inc. (“Enterprises”), through subsidiaries conducts (1) an LPG distribution business in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg (“Antargaz”); (2) an LPG distribution business in central, northern and eastern Europe (“Flaga”); (3) an LPG distribution business in the United Kingdom (“AvantiGas”); and (4) an LPG distribution business in the Nantong region of China.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UGI and its controlled subsidiary companies which, except for the Partnership, are majority owned. We report the public’s and ETP’s limited partner interests in the Partnership, and outside ownership interests in other consolidated but less than 100%-owned subsidiaries, as noncontrolling interests.We eliminate all significant intercompany accounts and transactions when we consolidate. Entities in which we do not have control but have significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for by the equity method.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“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, 2012, condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012 (“Company’s 2012 Annual Financial Statements and Notes”). 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 represents those cash balances in our commodity futures and option brokerage accounts that are restricted from withdrawal.
Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per share attributable to UGI Corporation shareholders reflect the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share attributable to UGI Corporation include the effects of dilutive stock options and common stock awards.

Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income comprises net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) principally comprises (1) gains and losses on derivative instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges, net of reclassifications to net income; (2) actuarial gains and losses on postretirement benefit plans, net of associated amortization; and (3) foreign currency translation and intracompany transaction adjustments.
Reclassifications. We have reclassified certain prior-year period balances to conform to the current-period presentation.
Income Taxes. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company changed the U.S. tax status of a foreign entity. As a result of the change in tax status, we concluded that it was more likely than not that a portion of our foreign tax credits would be utilized and, accordingly, adjusted our foreign tax credit valuation allowance which reduced income tax expense by $5.5 for the six months ended March 31, 2012.
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.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Disclosures about Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance regarding disclosures for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The new disclosure guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The new disclosures are to be applied prospectively, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our future disclosures.
Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. In December 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance regarding disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The new guidance, as amended, requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The amendments will enhance disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with other GAAP or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in the balance sheet. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 (Fiscal 2014), and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our future disclosures.
15. Error in Accounting For Certain Customer Credits

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Partnership identified an error in accounting for certain customer credits. The Partnership determined that the recording of propane revenues did not appropriately consider the effects of certain customer credits which were recorded when issued in a subsequent period. As a result, beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Partnership corrected its accounting for such customer credits to record an estimate of credits at the time propane revenues are recorded. Such estimate considers the Partnership’s history of providing credits, propane revenue activity and other factors. The Company has evaluated the impact of the error on prior periods and has determined that the effect is not material to any prior period financial statements. The Company has also evaluated and concluded that the impact of recording the cumulative effect of the correction of the error as of January 1, 2013 (the beginning of the three month period ended March 31, 2013) is not material to the financial statements for the three or six months ended March 31, 2013, nor is it expected to be material to the financial statements for Fiscal 2013. Accordingly, the Company recorded the cumulative effect of the error in accounting for certain customer credits as of January 1, 2013, which decreased accounts receivable and revenues by $7.0, and decreased net income attributable to UGI Corporation for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 by $1.2. If the Company had corrected the error in its method of accounting as of September 30, 2012, the cumulative effect of the change as of that date would have decreased net income attributable to UGI Corporation by approximately $0.7.
Partnership Acquisition of Heritage Propane
Partnership Acquisition of Heritage Propane
Partnership Acquisition of Heritage Propane

On January 12, 2012, AmeriGas Partners completed the acquisition of Heritage Propane from ETP for total consideration of $2,604.8 comprising $1,472.2 in cash and 29,567,362 AmeriGas Partners Common Units with a fair value of approximately $1,132.6 (the “Heritage Acquisition”). The Heritage Acquisition was consummated pursuant to a Contribution and Redemption Agreement, dated October 15, 2011, as amended (the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among AmeriGas Partners, ETP, Energy Transfer Partners GP, L.P., the general partner of ETP, and Heritage ETC, L.P. For additional information on the Heritage Acquisition, see Note 4 to the Company’s 2012 Annual Financial Statements and Notes.

The changes in goodwill and intangible assets during the six months ended March 31, 2013, principally reflect the effects of currency translation. Amortization expense of intangible assets was $13.6 and $26.9 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, and $13.0 and $18.8 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. No amortization is included in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2013, our expected aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the remainder of Fiscal 2013 and for the next four fiscal years is as follows: remainder of Fiscal 2013 — $25.2; Fiscal 2014 — $50.5; Fiscal 2015 — $47.3; Fiscal 2016 — $41.3; Fiscal 2017 — $35.0.
Segment Information
Segment Information
Segment Information

We have organized our business units into six reportable segments generally based upon products sold, geographic location and regulatory environment. Our reportable segments comprise: (1) AmeriGas Propane; (2) an international LPG segment comprising Antargaz; (3) an international LPG segment principally comprising Flaga and AvantiGas; (4) Gas Utility; (5) Energy Services; and (6) Electric Generation. We refer to both international segments together as “International Propane” and Energy Services and Electric Generation together as “Midstream & Marketing.” For Fiscal 2012, the Company began reporting its Electric Generation operating segment as a separate reportable segment and our former Electric Utility reportable segment was combined with Corporate & Other. Previously, the Electric Generation operating segment was included in the Energy Services’ reportable segment. Segment information for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 presented below has been adjusted to conform to the current year presentation.
The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s 2012 Annual Financial Statements and Notes. We evaluate AmeriGas Propane’s performance principally based upon the Partnership’s earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Partnership EBITDA”). Although we use Partnership EBITDA to evaluate AmeriGas Propane’s profitability, it should not be considered as an alternative to net income (as an indicator of operating performance) or as an alternative to cash flow (as a measure of liquidity or ability to service debt obligations) and is not a measure of performance or financial condition under GAAP. Our definition of Partnership EBITDA may be different from that used by other companies. We evaluate the performance of our other reportable segments principally based upon their income before income taxes.

Energy Services Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility
Energy Services Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility
Energy Services Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

Prior to its expiration, in April 2013, Energy Services amended its $200 receivables purchase facility (“Receivables Facility”) with an issuer of receivables-backed commercial paper to extend its expiration until November 2013 and reduce the facility to $100. The Receivables Facility may terminate prior to such date due to the termination of commitments of the Receivables Facility back-up purchasers.
Under the Receivables Facility, Energy Services transfers, on an ongoing basis and without recourse, its trade accounts receivable to its wholly owned, special purpose subsidiary, Energy Services Funding Corporation (“ESFC”), which is consolidated for financial statement purposes. ESFC, in turn, has sold, and subject to certain conditions, may from time to time sell, an undivided interest in some or all of the receivables to a commercial paper conduit of a major bank. ESFC was created and has been structured to isolate its assets from creditors of Energy Services and its affiliates, including UGI. Energy Services continues to service, administer and collect trade receivables on behalf of the commercial paper issuer and ESFC. Trade receivables sold to the commercial paper conduit remain on the Company’s balance sheet; the Company reflects a liability equal to the amount advanced by the commercial paper conduit; and the Company records interest expense on amounts sold to the commercial paper conduit.
During the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, Energy Services transferred trade receivables to ESFC totaling $524.3 and $510.8, respectively. During the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, ESFC sold an aggregate $179.0 and $209.5, respectively, of undivided interests in its trade receivables to the commercial paper conduit. At March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of ESFC receivables was $82.6 and there was $11.0 sold to the commercial paper conduit. At March 31, 2012, the outstanding balance of ESFC receivables was $59.8 and there was $27.0 sold to the commercial paper conduit.

Deferred fuel and power—costs and refunds. Gas Utility’s tariffs and Electric Utility’s tariffs contain clauses which permit recovery of all prudently incurred purchased gas and power costs through the application of purchased gas cost (“PGC”) rates in the case of Gas Utility and default service (“DS”) rates in the case of Electric Utility. The clauses provide for periodic adjustments to PGC 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 overcollected costs are classified as a regulatory liability.
Gas Utility uses derivative financial instruments to reduce volatility in the cost of natural gas it purchases for firm- residential, commercial and industrial (“retail core-market”) customers. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on natural gas derivative financial instruments are included in deferred fuel costs or refunds. Net unrealized gains (losses) on such contracts at March 31, 2013, September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 were $4.1, $5.3 and $(3.1), respectively.
Electric Utility enters into forward electricity purchase contracts to meet a substantial portion of its electricity supply needs. Because these contracts do not currently qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales exception under GAAP, the fair values of these contracts are required to be recognized on the balance sheet with an associated adjustment to regulatory assets or liabilities in accordance with GAAP related to rate-regulated entities. At March 31, 2013, September 30, 2012, and March 31, 2012, the fair values of Electric Utility’s electricity supply contracts were net losses of $5.5, $9.2 and $14.7, respectively, which amounts are reflected in current derivative financial instrument liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with equal and offsetting amounts reflected in deferred fuel and power costs in the table above.
 
In order to reduce volatility associated with a substantial portion of its electric transmission congestion costs, Electric Utility obtains financial transmission rights (“FTRs”). FTRs are derivative financial instruments that entitle the holder to receive compensation for electricity transmission congestion charges when there is insufficient electricity transmission capacity on the electric transmission grid. Because Electric Utility is entitled to fully recover its DS costs, realized and unrealized gains or losses on FTRs are included in deferred fuel and power—costs or refunds. Unrealized gains or losses on FTRs at March 31, 2013, September 30, 2012, and March 31, 2012, were not material.

Allentown, Pennsylvania Natural Gas Incident. On October 3, 2012, UGI Utilities and the PUC Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement (“PUC Staff”) submitted a Joint Settlement Petition (“Joint Settlement”) to settle all regulatory compliance issues raised in the PUC Staff's formal complaint, issued on June 11, 2012, pertaining to a natural gas explosion which occurred on February 9, 2011, in Allentown, Pennsylvania and resulted in five deaths, several personal injuries and significant property damage. On February 19, 2013, the PUC entered a final order (the “Final Order”) in which PUC Commissioners adopted the Joint Settlement, with certain modifications. The Final Order requires UGI Utilities to (i) pay a civil penalty amount that increases the amount provided in the Joint Settlement from $0.4 to $0.5; (ii) conduct a pilot new technology leak detection program in Allentown; and (iii) accept new reporting requirements governing its agreed upon 14-year cast iron and 30-year bare steel pipeline replacement program and distribution integrity management program. The Final Order makes no findings that UGI Utilities has violated any regulation or operating procedure. The Company does not believe that the cost of complying with the requirements of the Final Order will have a material impact on UGI Utilities' consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Transfers of Assets. On February 1, 2012, CPG filed an application with the PUC for review and approval of the transfer of an 11 mile natural gas pipeline, related facilities and right of way located in Delmar Township, Pennsylvania (TL-96 line) to Energy Services.   The PUC approved the transfer and in April 2013, the TL-96 line was dividended to UGI and subsequently contributed to Energy Services.  The net book value of the TL-96 line is approximately $2.5.

Pension Plan assets are held in trust and consist principally of publicly traded, diversified equity and fixed income mutual funds and UGI Common Stock. It is our general policy to fund amounts for Pension Plan benefits equal to at least the minimum contribution set forth in applicable employee benefit laws. Based upon current assumptions, the Company estimates that it will be required to contribute approximately $9.4 to the Pension Plan during the remainder of Fiscal 2013. During the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company made contributions to the Pension Plan of $6.4 and $19.7, respectively. UGI Utilities has established a Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (“VEBA”) trust to pay UGI Gas’ and Electric Utility’s postretirement health care and life insurance benefits referred to above by depositing into the VEBA the annual amount of postretirement benefit costs determined under GAAP. The difference between such amounts calculated under GAAP and the amounts included in UGI Gas’ and Electric Utility’s rates is deferred for future recovery from, or refund to, ratepayers. Amounts contributed to the VEBA by UGI Utilities were not material during the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, nor are they expected to be material for all of Fiscal 2013.
We also sponsor unfunded and non-qualified defined benefit supplemental executive retirement plans. We recorded pre-tax expense associated with these plans of $0.8 and $0.7 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We recorded pre-tax expense associated with these plans of $1.6 and $1.4 for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

On December 18, 2012, Energy Services amended and restated its unsecured credit agreement with a group of banks (“Energy Services Credit Agreement”) to, among other things, increase its borrowing capacity and extend its expiration. The Energy Services Credit Agreement provides for borrowings up to $240 (including a $50 sublimit for letters of credit) and expires in June 2016. The Energy Services Credit Agreement also provides an option to increase the borrowing capacity by up to an additional $30, to a total of $270, upon approval from one or more of the banks.

Under the Energy Services Credit Agreement, Energy Services may not pay a dividend unless, after giving effect to such dividend payment, the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to EBITDA, each as defined in the Energy Services Credit Agreement, does not exceed 2.25 to 1.00. In addition, the Energy Services Credit Agreement requires Energy Services to not exceed a ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness, as defined, to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined; a minimum ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense, as defined; a maximum ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Capitalization, as defined, at any time when Consolidated Total Indebtedness is greater than or equal to $250; and a minimum Consolidated Net Worth, as defined, of $200.

Environmental Matters
UGI Utilities
CPG is party to a Consent Order and Agreement (“CPG-COA”) with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) requiring CPG to perform a specified level of activities associated with environmental investigation and remediation work at certain properties in Pennsylvania on which manufactured gas plant (“MGP”) related facilities were operated (“CPG MGP Properties”) and to plug a minimum number of non-producing natural gas wells per year. In addition, PNG is a party to a Multi-Site Remediation Consent Order and Agreement (“PNG-COA”) with the DEP. The PNG-COA requires PNG to perform annually a specified level of activities associated with environmental investigation and remediation work at certain properties on which MGP-related facilities were operated (“PNG MGP Properties”). Under these agreements, environmental expenditures relating to the CPG MGP Properties and the PNG MGP Properties are capped at $1.8 and $1.1, respectively, in any calendar year. The CPG-COA terminates at the end of 2013. The PNG-COA terminates in 2019 but may be terminated by either party effective at the end of any two-year period beginning with the original effective date in March 2004. At March 31, 2013 and 2012, our accrued liabilities for environmental investigation and remediation costs related to the CPG-COA and the PNG-COA totaled $14.3 and $16.8, respectively. In accordance with GAAP related to rate-regulated entities, we have recorded associated regulatory assets in equal amounts.
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. Pursuant to the requirements of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, by the early 1950s UGI Utilities divested all of its utility operations other than certain Pennsylvania operations, including those which now constitute UGI Gas and Electric Utility.
UGI Utilities does not expect its costs for investigation and remediation of hazardous substances at Pennsylvania MGP sites to be material to its results of operations because (1) UGI Gas is currently permitted to include in rates, through future base rate proceedings, a five-year average of such prudently incurred remediation costs and (2) CPG and PNG are currently receiving regulatory recovery of estimated environmental investigation and remediation costs associated with Pennsylvania sites. At March 31, 2013, neither the undiscounted nor the accrued liability for environmental investigation and cleanup costs for UGI Gas was material.
UGI Utilities has been notified of several sites outside Pennsylvania on which private parties allege MGPs were formerly owned or operated by it or owned or operated by its former subsidiaries. Such parties are investigating the extent of environmental contamination or performing 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 former subsidiaries 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.
Sag Harbor, New York Matter. By letter dated June 24, 2004, KeySpan Energy (“KeySpan”) informed UGI Utilities that KeySpan has spent $2.3 and expects to spend another $11 to clean up an MGP site it owns in Sag Harbor, New York. KeySpan believes that UGI Utilities is responsible for approximately 50% of these costs as a result of UGI Utilities’ alleged direct ownership and operation of the plant from 1885 to 1902. By letter dated June 6, 2006, KeySpan reported that the New York Department of Environmental Conservation has approved a remedy for the site that is estimated to cost approximately $10. KeySpan has indicated that the cost could be as high as $20. There have been no recent developments in this matter.
Omaha, Nebraska. By letter dated October 20, 2011, the City of Omaha and the Metropolitan Utilities District (“MUD”) notified UGI Utilities that they had been requested by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to remediate a former manufactured gas plant site located in Omaha, Nebraska. According to a report prepared on behalf of the EPA identifying potentially responsible parties, a former subsidiary of a UGI Utilities’ predecessor is identified as an owner and operator of the site. The City of Omaha and MUD have requested that UGI Utilities participate in the cost of remediation for this site. Because of the preliminary nature of available environmental information, the ultimate amount of expected clean up costs cannot be reasonably estimated. In addition, UGI Utilities believes that it has strong defenses to any claims that may arise relating to the remediation of this site. By letter dated November 10, 2011, the EPA notified UGI Utilities of its investigation of the site in Omaha, Nebraska, and issued an information request to UGI Utilities. UGI Utilities responded to the EPA’s information request on January 17, 2012, and is cooperating with its investigation.
AmeriGas Propane
AmeriGas OLP Saranac Lake. By letter dated March 6, 2008, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”) notified AmeriGas OLP that DEC had placed property owned by the Partnership in Saranac Lake, New York, on its Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites. A site characterization study performed by DEC disclosed contamination related to former MGP operations on the site. DEC has classified the site as a significant threat to public health or environment with further action required. The Partnership has researched the history of the site and its ownership interest in the site. The Partnership has reviewed the preliminary site characterization study prepared by the DEC, the extent of contamination and the possible existence of other potentially responsible parties. The Partnership communicated the results of its research to DEC in January 2009 and is awaiting a response before doing any additional investigation. Because of the preliminary nature of available environmental information, the ultimate amount of expected clean up costs cannot be reasonably estimated. 
Claremont, New Hampshire and Chestertown, Maryland. In connection with the Heritage Acquisition on January 12, 2012, a predecessor of Titan Propane LLC (“Titan LLC”), a former subsidiary acquired in the Heritage Acquisition, is purportedly the beneficial holder of title with respect to two former MGPs discussed below. The Contribution Agreement provides for indemnification from ETP for certain expenses associated with remediation of these sites. By letter dated September 30, 2010, the EPA notified Titan LLC that it may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for cleanup costs associated with contamination at a former MGP in Claremont, New Hampshire. In June 2010, the Maryland Attorney General (“MAG”) identified Titan LLC as a PRP in connection with contamination at a former MGP in Chestertown, Maryland and requested that Titan LLC participate in characterization and remediation activities. Titan LLC has supplied the EPA and MAG with corporate and bankruptcy information for its predecessors to support its claim that it is not liable for any remediation costs at the sites. Because of the preliminary nature of available environmental information, the ultimate amount of expected clean up costs cannot be reasonably estimated.

Other Matters
AmeriGas Cylinder Investigation. On or about October 21, 2009, the General Partner received a notice that the Offices of the District Attorneys of Santa Clara, Sonoma, Ventura, San Joaquin and Fresno Counties and the City Attorney of San Diego (the “District Attorneys”) have commenced an investigation into AmeriGas OLP's cylinder labeling and filling practices in California as a result of the Partnership's decision in 2008 to reduce the volume of propane in cylinders it sells to consumers from 17 pounds to 15 pounds. At that time, the District Attorneys issued an administrative subpoena seeking documents and information relating to those practices. We have responded to the administrative subpoena. On or about July 20, 2011, the General Partner received a second subpoena from the District Attorneys. The subpoena sought additional information and documents regarding AmeriGas OLP's cylinder exchange program and we responded to that subpoena. In connection with this matter, the District Attorneys have alleged potential violations of California's antitrust laws, California's slack-fill law, and California's principal false advertising statute. We believe we have strong defenses to these allegations.

On or about November 4, 2011, the General Partner received notice that the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) is conducting an antitrust and consumer protection investigation into certain practices of the Partnership that relate to the filling of portable propane cylinders. On February 2, 2012, the Partnership received a Civil Investigative Demand from the FTC that requests documents and information concerning, among other things, (i) the Partnership’s decision, in 2008, to reduce the volume of propane in cylinders it sells to consumers from 17 pounds to 15 pounds and (ii) cross-filling, related service arrangements and communications regarding the foregoing with competitors. The Partnership believes that it will have good defenses to any claims that may result from this investigation. We are not able to assess the financial impact this investigation or any related claims may have on the Partnership.
Purported Class Action Lawsuit. In 2005, Samuel and Brenda Swiger (the “Swigers”) filed what purports to be a class action lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Harrison County, West Virginia, against UGI, an insurance subsidiary of UGI, certain officers of UGI and the General Partner, and their insurance carriers and insurance adjusters. In this lawsuit, the Swigers are seeking compensatory and punitive damages on behalf of the putative class for alleged violations of the West Virginia Insurance Unfair Trade Practice Act, negligence, intentional misconduct, and civil conspiracy. The Court has not certified the class and, in October 2008, stayed the lawsuit pending resolution of a separate, but related, class action lawsuit filed against AmeriGas OLP in Monongalia County, which was settled in Fiscal 2011. We believe we have good defenses to the claims in this action.
BP America Production Company v. Amerigas Propane, L.P. On July 15, 2011, BP America Production Company (“BP”) filed a complaint against AmeriGas OLP in the District Court of Denver County, Colorado, alleging, among other things, breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing relating to amounts billed for certain goods and services provided to BP since 2005 (the “Services”). The Services relate to the installation of propane-fueled equipment and appliances, and the supply of propane, to approximately 400 residential customers at the request of and for the account of BP. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of direct, indirect, consequential, special and compensatory damages, including attorneys’ fees, costs and interest and other appropriate relief. It also seeks an accounting to determine the amount of the alleged overcharges related to the Services. We have substantially completed our investigation of this matter and, based upon the results of that investigation, we believe we have good defenses to the claims set forth in the complaint and the amount of loss will not have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. A trial date is currently scheduled for June 2013.
 
We cannot predict the final results of any of the environmental or other pending claims or legal actions described above. However, it is reasonably possible that some of them could be resolved unfavorably to us and result in losses in excess of recorded amounts. We are unable to estimate any possible losses in excess of recorded amounts. Although we currently believe, after consultation with counsel, that damages or settlements, if any, recovered by the plaintiffs in such claims or actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, damages or settlements could be material to our operating results or cash flows in future periods depending on the nature and timing of future developments with respect to these matters and the amounts of future operating results and cash flows. In addition to the matters described above, there are other pending claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of our businesses. We believe, after consultation with counsel, the final outcome of such other matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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. The remainder of our derivative financial instruments are designated as Level 2. The fair values of certain non-exchange traded commodity derivatives are based upon indicative price quotations available through brokers, industry price publications or recent market transactions and related market indicators. For commodity option contracts not traded on an exchange, we use a Black Scholes option pricing model that considers time value and volatility of the underlying commodity. The fair values of interest rate contracts and foreign currency contracts are based upon third-party quotes or indicative values based on recent market transactions. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the periods presented.
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. At March 31, 2013, the carrying amount and estimated fair value of our long-term debt (including current maturities) were $3,502.9 and $3,780.6, respectively. At March 31, 2012, the carrying amount and estimated fair value of our long-term debt (including current maturities) were $3,611.6 and $3,738.6, respectively. 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).
Financial instruments other than derivative financial instruments, such as our short-term investments and trade accounts receivable, could expose us to concentrations of credit risk. We limit our 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 from trade accounts receivable is limited because we have a large customer base that extends across many different U.S. markets and several foreign countries. For information regarding concentrations of credit risk associated with our derivative financial instruments, see Note 13.

Disclosures About 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 these risks. The primary risks managed by derivative instruments are (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. Because most of our derivative instruments generally qualify as hedges under GAAP or are subject to regulatory rate recovery mechanisms, we expect that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments used to manage commodity, interest rate or currency exchange rate risk would be substantially offset by gains or losses on the associated anticipated transactions.
 
Commodity Price Risk
In order to manage market price risk associated with the Partnership’s fixed-price programs which permit customers to lock in the prices they pay for propane principally during the months of October through March, the Partnership uses over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments, principally price swap contracts. In addition, the Partnership, certain other domestic business units and our International Propane 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. In addition, from time to time, the Partnership enters into price swap agreements to reduce short-term commodity price volatility and to provide market price risk support to some of its wholesale customers which are generally not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.
Gas Utility’s tariffs contain clauses that permit recovery of all of the 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 PUC pursuant to Gas Utility’s annual PGC filings, Gas Utility currently uses New York Mercantile Exchange (“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. At March 31, 2013 and 2012, the volumes of natural gas associated with Gas Utility’s unsettled NYMEX natural gas futures and option contracts totaled 10.0 million dekatherms and 11.6 million dekatherms, respectively. At March 31, 2013, the maximum period over which Gas Utility is hedging natural gas market price risk is 12 months. Gains and losses on natural gas futures contracts and any gains on natural gas option contracts are recorded in regulatory assets or liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with GAAP related to rate-regulated entities and reflected in cost of sales through the PGC mechanism (see Note 8).
Electric Utility’s DS tariffs permit the recovery of all prudently incurred costs of electricity it sells to DS customers, including the cost of financial instruments used to hedge electricity costs. Electric Utility enters into forward electricity purchase contracts to meet a substantial portion of its electricity supply needs. Because these contracts currently do not qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales exception under GAAP, the fair values of these contracts are required to be recognized on the balance sheet. At March 31, 2013 and 2012, the fair values of Electric Utility’s forward purchase power agreements comprising losses of $5.5 and $14.7, respectively, are reflected in current derivative financial instrument liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with GAAP related to rate-regulated entities, Electric Utility has recorded equal and offsetting amounts in regulatory assets. At March 31, 2013 and 2012, the volumes of Electric Utility’s forward electricity purchase contracts was 403.2 million kilowatt hours and 707.4 million kilowatt hours, respectively. At March 31, 2013, the maximum period over which these contracts extend is 14 months.

In order to reduce volatility associated with a substantial portion of its electricity transmission congestion costs, Electric Utility obtains FTRs through an annual allocation process and by purchases of FTRs at monthly auctions. Midstream & Marketing purchases FTRs to economically hedge electricity transmission congestion costs associated with its fixed-price electricity sales contracts. FTRs are derivative financial instruments that entitle the holder to receive compensation for electricity transmission congestion charges that result when there is insufficient electricity transmission capacity on the electric transmission grid. Because Electric Utility is entitled to fully recover its DS costs, gains and losses on Electric Utility FTRs are recorded in regulatory assets or liabilities in accordance with GAAP related to rate-regulated entities and reflected in cost of sales through the DS recovery mechanism (see Note 8). At March 31, 2013 and 2012, the volumes associated with Electric Utility FTRs totaled 47.5 million kilowatt hours and 52.2 million kilowatt hours, respectively. Midstream & Marketing’s FTRs are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in cost of sales. At March 31, 2013 and 2012, the volumes associated with Midstream & Marketing’s FTRs totaled 261.0 million kilowatt hours and 355.8 million kilowatt hours, respectively.
In order to manage market price risk relating to fixed-price sales contracts for natural gas and electricity, Midstream & Marketing enters into NYMEX and over-the-counter natural gas futures contracts, IntercontinentalExchange (“ICE”) natural gas basis swap contracts, and electricity futures contracts. Midstream & Marketing also uses NYMEX and over-the-counter electricity futures contracts to hedge the price of a portion of its anticipated future sales of electricity from its electric generation facilities. In addition, Midstream & Marketing uses NYMEX futures contracts to economically hedge the gross margin associated with the purchase and anticipated later sale of natural gas or propane. Because the contracts associated with the anticipated sale of stored natural gas or propane do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, any gains or losses on the derivative contracts are recognized in earnings prior to gains or losses from the sale of the stored gas. At March 31, 2013, the volumes associated with Midstream & Marketing’s natural gas storage NYMEX contracts totaled 0.4 million dekatherms and there were no propane storage NYMEX contracts. At March 31, 2012, the volumes associated with Midstream & Marketing’s natural gas and propane storage NYMEX contracts totaled 4.6 million dekatherms and 1.2 million gallons, respectively.
In order to reduce operating expense volatility, UGI Utilities from time to time enters into NYMEX gasoline futures and swap contracts for a portion of gasoline volumes expected to be used in the operation of its vehicles and equipment. Associated volumes, fair values and effects on net income were not material for all periods presented.
 
At March 31, 2013 and 2012, we had the following outstanding derivative commodity instruments volumes that qualify for hedge accounting treatment:

At March 31, 2013, the maximum period over which we are hedging our exposure to the variability in cash flows associated with LPG commodity price risk is 20 months with a weighted average of 7 months; the maximum period over which we are hedging our exposure to the variability in cash flows associated with natural gas commodity price risk (excluding Gas Utility) is 43 months with a weighted average of 11 months; and the maximum period over which we are hedging our exposure to the variability in cash flows associated with electricity price risk (excluding Electric Utility) is 30 months for electricity forward purchase contracts, with a weighted average of 9 months, and 11 months for electricity forward sales contracts, with a weighted average of 5 months. At March 31, 2013, the maximum period over which we are economically hedging electricity congestion with FTRs (excluding Electric Utility) is 2 months.
We account for commodity price risk contracts (other than those contracts that are not eligible for hedge accounting and Gas Utility and Electric Utility contracts that are subject to regulatory treatment) as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair values of contracts qualifying for cash flow hedge accounting are recorded in AOCI and, with respect to the Partnership, noncontrolling interests, to the extent effective in offsetting changes in the underlying commodity price risk. When earnings are affected by the hedged commodity, gains or losses are recorded in cost of sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At March 31, 2013, the amount of net losses associated with commodity price risk hedges expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months based upon current fair values is $5.9.
Interest Rate Risk
Antargaz’ and Flaga’s long-term debt agreements have interest rates that are generally indexed to short-term market interest rates. Antargaz has entered into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreements to hedge the underlying euribor rate of interest on its variable-rate term loan, and Flaga has entered into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreements to hedge the underlying euribor rate of interest on its term loans, in each case through the respective scheduled maturity dates. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the total notional amount of existing variable-rate debt subject to interest rate swap agreements was €441.2 and €442.6, respectively.
Our domestic businesses’ long-term debt is typically issued at fixed rates of interest. As these long-term debt issues mature, 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 interest rate protection agreements (“IRPAs”). At March 31, 2013 and 2012, the total notional amount of unsettled IRPAs was $173. Our current unsettled IRPA contracts hedge forecasted interest payments associated with the issuance of UGI Utilities’ long-term debt forecasted to occur in September 2013.
UGI Utilities reclassified pre-tax losses of $0.7 from AOCI into income during the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting for a portion of expected interest payments associated with the issuance of long-term debt originally anticipated to occur in September 2012. Such losses are included in other income, net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
We account for interest rate swaps and IRPAs as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair values of interest rate swaps and IRPAs are recorded in AOCI and, with respect to the Partnership, noncontrolling interests, to the extent effective in offsetting changes in the underlying interest rate risk, until earnings are affected by the hedged interest expense. At such time, gains and losses are recorded in interest expense. At March 31, 2013, the amount of net losses associated with interest rate hedges (excluding pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps) expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months is $1.2.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
In order to reduce volatility, Antargaz hedges a portion of its anticipated U.S. dollar-denominated LPG product purchases through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The amount of dollar-denominated purchases of LPG associated with such contracts generally represents approximately 15% to 30% of estimated dollar-denominated purchases of LPG forecasted to occur during the heating-season months of October through March. At March 31, 2013 and 2012, we were hedging a total of $92.7 and $63.9 of U.S. dollar-denominated LPG purchases, respectively. At March 31, 2013, the maximum period over which we are hedging our exposure to the variability in cash flows associated with dollar-denominated purchases of LPG is 24 months with a weighted average of 13 months. We also enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the volatility of the U.S. dollar value on a portion of our International Propane euro-denominated net investments. At March 31, 2013, we had no euro-denominated net investment hedges. At March 31, 2012, we were hedging a total of €14.5 of our euro-denominated net investments. From time to time, the Company may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to economically hedge the local-currency purchase price of anticipated foreign business acquisitions. These transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and any changes in fair value are recorded in other income, net. The fair value of such contracts at March 31, 2013, were not material.
We account for foreign currency exchange contracts associated with anticipated purchases of U.S. dollar-denominated LPG as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair values of these foreign currency exchange contracts are recorded in AOCI, to the extent effective in offsetting changes in the underlying currency exchange rate risk, until earnings are affected by the hedged LPG purchase, at which time gains and losses are recorded in cost of sales. At March 31, 2013, the amount of net gains associated with currency rate risk (other than net investment hedges) expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months based upon current fair values is $1.5. Gains and losses on net investment hedges are included in AOCI until such foreign operations are liquidated.
 
Derivative Financial Instrument Credit Risk
We are exposed to risk of loss in the event of nonperformance by our derivative financial instrument counterparties. Our derivative financial 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. Certain of these agreements call for the posting of collateral by the counterparty or by the Company in the forms of letters of credit, parental guarantees or cash. Additionally, our natural gas and electricity exchange-traded futures and options contracts generally require cash deposits in margin accounts. At March 31, 2013 and 2012, restricted cash in brokerage accounts totaled $2.8 and $16.8, respectively. Although we have concentrations of credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments, the maximum amount of loss, based upon the gross fair values of the derivative financial instruments, we would incur if these counterparties failed to perform according to the terms of their contracts was not material at March 31, 2013. 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, 2013, if the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered, the amount of collateral required to be posted would not be material.

The amounts of derivative gains or losses representing ineffectiveness were not material for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
We are also a party to a number of other contracts that have elements of a derivative instrument. These contracts include, among others, binding purchase orders and contracts that provide for the purchase and delivery, or sale, of natural gas, LPG and electricity and service contracts that require the counterparty to provide commodity storage, transportation or capacity service to meet our normal sales commitments. Although many of these contracts have the requisite elements of a derivative instrument, these contracts qualify for normal purchases and normal sales exception accounting under GAAP 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 the contract is based on an underlying that is directly associated with the price of the product or service being purchased or sold.

At March 31, 2013, UGI Utilities is a party to three storage contract administrative agreements (“SCAAs”), one of which expires in October 2013 and two of which expire in October 2015. Pursuant to these and predecessor SCAAs, UGI Utilities has, among other things, released certain storage and transportation contracts for the terms of the SCAAs. UGI Utilities also transferred certain associated storage inventories upon commencement of the SCAAs, will receive a transfer of storage inventories at the end of the SCAAs, and makes payments associated with refilling storage inventories during the term of the SCAAs. The historical cost of natural gas storage inventories released under the SCAAs, which represents a portion of Gas Utility’s total natural gas storage inventories, and any exchange receivable (representing amounts of natural gas inventories used by the other parties to the agreement but not yet replenished), are included in the caption “Gas Utility natural gas” in the table above.
As of March 31, 2013, all of UGI Utilities’ SCAAs are with Energy Services. The carrying values of natural gas storage inventories released under SCAAs with non-affiliates at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, comprising 3.8 billion cubic feet (“bcf”) and 0.6 bcf of natural gas, were $11.4 and $2.9, respectively.
Error in Method of Accounting For Certain Customer Credits (Notes)
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Text Block]
Accounting Changes
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Disclosures about Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance regarding disclosures for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The new disclosure guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The new disclosures are to be applied prospectively, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our future disclosures.
Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. In December 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance regarding disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The new guidance, as amended, requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The amendments will enhance disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with other GAAP or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in the balance sheet. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 (Fiscal 2014), and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our future disclosures.
15. Error in Accounting For Certain Customer Credits

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Partnership identified an error in accounting for certain customer credits. The Partnership determined that the recording of propane revenues did not appropriately consider the effects of certain customer credits which were recorded when issued in a subsequent period. As a result, beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Partnership corrected its accounting for such customer credits to record an estimate of credits at the time propane revenues are recorded. Such estimate considers the Partnership’s history of providing credits, propane revenue activity and other factors. The Company has evaluated the impact of the error on prior periods and has determined that the effect is not material to any prior period financial statements. The Company has also evaluated and concluded that the impact of recording the cumulative effect of the correction of the error as of January 1, 2013 (the beginning of the three month period ended March 31, 2013) is not material to the financial statements for the three or six months ended March 31, 2013, nor is it expected to be material to the financial statements for Fiscal 2013. Accordingly, the Company recorded the cumulative effect of the error in accounting for certain customer credits as of January 1, 2013, which decreased accounts receivable and revenues by $7.0, and decreased net income attributable to UGI Corporation for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 by $1.2. If the Company had corrected the error in its method of accounting as of September 30, 2012, the cumulative effect of the change as of that date would have decreased net income attributable to UGI Corporation by approximately $0.7.

Comprehensive Income 
Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income comprises net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) principally comprises (1) gains and losses on derivative instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges, net of reclassifications to net income; (2) actuarial gains and losses on postretirement benefit plans, net of associated amortization; and (3) foreign currency translation and intracompany transaction adjustments.
Income Taxes 
Income Taxes. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company changed the U.S. tax status of a foreign entity. As a result of the change in tax status, we concluded that it was more likely than not that a portion of our foreign tax credits would be utilized and, accordingly, adjusted our foreign tax credit valuation allowance which reduced income tax expense by $5.5 for the six months ended March 31, 2012.
Use of Estimates 
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.
