Business Strategy
Our business strategy is to grow the Company by focusing on our core competencies of distributing, storing, transporting and marketing energy products andservices. We are utilizing our core competencies from our existing businesses and our national scope, international experience, extensive asset base and access tocustomers to accelerate both internal growth and growth through acquisitions in our existing businesses, as well as in related and complementary businesses.During Fiscal 2016, we completed a number of transactions in pursuit of this strategy and made progress on larger internally generated capital projects, includinginfrastructure projects to further support the development of natural gas in the Marcellus Shale region of Pennsylvania. A few of these transactions and projects aredescribed below.
In Fiscal 2016, Energy Services received Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) approval for the Sunbury Pipeline project to construct and operate anapproximately 35-mile pipeline. The Sunbury Pipeline will transport natural gas to the Hummel Station combined-cycle 1,000 megawatt power generation facilitynear the Shamokin Dam in Snyder County, Pennsylvania. The project is expected to be completed in Fiscal 2017. In Fiscal 2016, Energy Services also madeprogress on the PennEast Pipeline project to develop an approximately 118-mile pipeline from Luzerne County, Pennsylvania to the Trenton-Woodbury

interconnection in New Jersey. Energy Services expects to receive a Final Environmental Impact Statement and FERC Certificate for the PennEast Pipeline projectin Fiscal 2017. In Fiscal 2016, Energy Services also began construction of the Manning LNG liquefaction plant, which is designed to produce 10,000 dekatherms of liquefiednatural gas (“LNG”) per day and provide 280,000 gallons of storage and trucking-loading capability, and the Steelton LNG peak shaving facility, which isdesigned to provide 75,000 dekatherms per day of peaking capacity and two million gallons of LNG storage. Construction of the Manning LNG Liquefaction plantis expected to be completed in Fiscal 2017 and construction of the Steelton LNG peak shaving facility is expected to be completed in the fiscal year endingSeptember 30, 2018. In addition, an expansion of Energy Services’ Auburn Gathering System in the Marcellus Shale region was completed in Fiscal 2016, adding150,000 dekatherms of capacity per day.
In May 2015, our indirect wholly owned French subsidiary, UGI France SAS (a Société par actions Simplifée) (“France SAS”) acquired all of the outstandingshares of Totalgaz, Total’s LPG distribution business in France (now known as Finagaz) (the “Totalgaz Acquisition”). In Fiscal 2016, UGI France made substantialprogress on the integration efforts related to Finagaz. In addition, UGI International continued to expand its presence in Europe with the completion of smaller butstrategic acquisitions in Norway, the United Kingdom, and Austria.
In January 2016, UGI Gas filed a request with the PUC for its first base rate increase in over 21 years. On October 14, 2016, the PUC approved a settlement thatwas effective October 19, 2016 and will result in a $27.0 million increase in annual base rate revenues. Corporate Information

AMERIGAS PROPANE
Products, Services and Marketing
Our domestic propane distribution business is conducted through AmeriGas Partners. AmeriGas Propane is responsible for managing the Partnership. ThePartnership serves over 1.9 million customers in all 50 states from approximately 1,900 propane distribution locations. In addition to distributing propane, thePartnership also sells, installs and services propane appliances, including heating systems, and operates a residential heating, ventilation, air conditioning,plumbing, and related services business in certain counties of Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. Typically, the Partnership’s propane distribution locationsare in suburban and rural areas where natural gas is not readily available. Our local offices generally consist of a business office and propane storage. As part of itsoverall transportation and distribution infrastructure, the Partnership operates as an interstate carrier in all states throughout the continental U.S.
The Partnership sells propane primarily to residential, commercial/industrial, motor fuel, agricultural and wholesale customers. The Partnership distributed over 1.1billion gallons of propane in Fiscal 2016. Approximately 96% of the Partnership’s Fiscal 2016 sales (based on gallons sold) were to retail accounts andapproximately 4% were to wholesale and supply customers. Sales to residential customers in Fiscal 2016 represented approximately 38% of retail gallons sold;commercial/industrial customers 36%; motor fuel customers 17%; and agricultural customers 5%. Transport gallons, which are large-scale deliveries to retailcustomers other than residential, accounted for 4% of Fiscal 2016 retail gallons. No single customer represents, or is anticipated to represent, more than 5% of thePartnership’s consolidated revenues.
The Partnership continues to expand its AmeriGas Cylinder Exchange (“ACE”) program. At September 30, 2016, ACE cylinders were available at nearly 54,000retail locations throughout the U.S. Sales of our ACE cylinders to retailers are included in commercial/industrial sales. The ACE program enables consumers topurchase or exchange propane cylinders at various retail locations such as home centers, gas stations, mass merchandisers and grocery and convenience stores. Wealso supply retailers with large propane tanks to enable retailers to replenish customers’ propane cylinders directly at the retailer’s location.
Residential and commercial customers use propane primarily for home heating, water heating and cooking purposes. Commercial users include hotels, restaurants,churches, warehouses, and retail stores. Industrial customers use propane to fire furnaces, as a cutting gas and in other process applications. Other industrialcustomers are large-scale heating accounts and local gas utility customers who use propane as a supplemental fuel to meet peak load deliverability requirements.As a motor fuel, propane is burned in internal combustion engines that power over-the-road vehicles, forklifts, commercial lawn mowers, and stationary engines.Agricultural uses include tobacco curing, chicken brooding, crop drying, and orchard heating. In its wholesale operations, the Partnership principally sells propaneto large industrial end-users and other propane distributors.
Retail deliveries of propane are usually made to customers by means of bobtail and rack trucks. Propane is pumped from the bobtail truck, which generally holds2,400 to 3,000 gallons of propane, into a stationary storage tank on the customer’s premises. The Partnership owns most of these storage tanks and leases them toits customers. The capacity of these tanks ranges from approximately 120 gallons to approximately 1,200 gallons. The Partnership also delivers propane in portablecylinders, including ACE cylinders. Some of these deliveries are made to the customer’s location, where cylinders are either picked up or replenished in place.
During Fiscal 2016, we made significant investments in technology to reduce operational costs while improving customer experience. For example, we (i)redesigned our website, enabling customers to pay bills online and seek customer support, (ii) increased our use of mobility to more efficiently deploy our driversand make deliveries to customers, and (iii) networked our call centers, enabling employees to reroute calls based on volume and customer wait times.
Propane Supply and Storage
The United States propane market has over 250 domestic and international sources of supply, including the spot market. Supplies of propane from the Partnership’ssources historically have been readily available. Volatility in the U.S. propane market stabilized in Fiscal 2016 and the propane industry experienced recordinventory levels and low propane prices in the U.S. during the Fiscal 2016 winter heating season. The availability and pricing of propane supply is dependent upon,among other things, the severity of winter weather, the price and availability of competing fuels such as natural gas and crude oil, and the amount and availabilityof imported and exported supply. In recent years, there has been an increase in overseas demand for U.S. propane exports. While U.S. propane exports exceededthe size of the entire U.S. retail propane sector in Fiscal 2016, U.S. propane inventory levels were at record levels during that period.

Table of Contents
During Fiscal 2016, approximately 85% of the Partnership’s propane supply was purchased under supply agreements with terms of 1 to 3 years. Although noassurance can be given that supplies of propane will be readily available in the future, management currently expects to be able to secure adequate supplies duringFiscal 2017. If supply from major sources were interrupted, however, the cost of procuring replacement supplies and transporting those supplies from alternativelocations might be materially higher and, at least on a short-term basis, margins could be adversely affected. Enterprise Products Operating LLC, Plains Marketing,L.P., and Targa Liquids Marketing & Trade LLC supplied approximately 40% of the Partnership’s Fiscal 2016 propane supply. No other single supplier providedmore than 10% of the Partnership’s total propane supply in Fiscal 2016. In certain geographic areas, however, a single supplier provides more than 50% of thePartnership’s requirements. Disruptions in supply in these areas could also have an adverse impact on the Partnership’s margins.
The Partnership’s supply contracts typically provide for pricing based upon (i) index formulas using the current prices established at a major storage point such asMont Belvieu, Texas, or Conway, Kansas, or (ii) posted prices at the time of delivery. In addition, some agreements provide maximum and minimum seasonalpurchase volume guidelines. The percentage of contract purchases, and the amount of supply contracted for at fixed prices, will vary from year to year asdetermined by the General Partner. The Partnership uses a number of interstate pipelines, as well as railroad tank cars, delivery trucks, and barges, to transportpropane from suppliers to storage and distribution facilities. The Partnership stores propane at various storage facilities and terminals located in strategic areasacross the U.S.
Because the Partnership’s profitability is sensitive to changes in wholesale propane costs, the Partnership generally seeks to pass on increases in the cost of propaneto customers. There is no assurance, however, that the Partnership will always be able to pass on product cost increases fully, or keep pace with such increases,particularly when product costs rise rapidly. Product cost increases can be triggered by periods of severe cold weather, supply interruptions, increases in the pricesof base commodities such as crude oil and natural gas, or other unforeseen events. The General Partner has adopted supply acquisition and product cost riskmanagement practices to reduce the effect of volatility on selling prices. These practices currently include the use of summer storage, forward purchases andderivative commodity instruments, such as options and propane price swaps. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ofOperations - Market Risk Disclosures.”
The following graph shows the average prices of propane on the propane spot market during the last five fiscal years at Mont Belvieu, Texas and Conway, Kansas,both major storage areas.

General Industry Information
Propane is separated from crude oil during the refining process and also extracted from natural gas or oil wellhead gas at processing plants. Propane is normallytransported and stored in a liquid state under moderate pressure or refrigeration for economy and ease of handling in shipping and distribution. When the pressureis released or the temperature is increased, it is usable as a flammable

gas. Propane is colorless and odorless; an odorant is added to allow for its detection. Propane is considered a clean alternative fuel under the Clean Air ActAmendments of 1990, producing negligible amounts of pollutants when properly consumed.
Competition
Propane competes with other sources of energy, some of which are less costly for equivalent energy value. Propane distributors compete for customers withsuppliers of electricity, fuel oil and natural gas, principally on the basis of price, service, availability and portability. Electricity is generally more expensive thanpropane on a British thermal unit (“Btu”) equivalent basis, but the convenience and efficiency of electricity make it an attractive energy source for consumers anddevelopers of new homes. Fuel oil is also a major competitor of propane and, although a less environmentally attractive energy source, is currently less expensivethan propane. Furnaces and appliances that burn propane will not operate on fuel oil, and vice versa, and, therefore, a conversion from one fuel to the other requiresthe installation of new equipment. Propane serves as an alternative to natural gas in rural and suburban areas where natural gas is unavailable or portability ofproduct is required. Natural gas is generally a significantly less expensive source of energy than propane, although in areas where natural gas is available, propaneis used for certain industrial and commercial applications and as a standby fuel during interruptions in natural gas service. The gradual expansion of the nation’snatural gas distribution systems has resulted in the availability of natural gas in some areas that previously depended upon propane. However, natural gas pipelinesare not present in many areas of the country where propane is sold for heating and cooking purposes.
For motor fuel customers, propane competes with gasoline, diesel fuel, electric batteries, fuel cells and, in certain applications, liquefied natural gas andcompressed natural gas. Wholesale propane distribution is a highly competitive, low margin business. Propane sales to other retail distributors and large-volume,direct-shipment industrial end-users are price sensitive and frequently involve a competitive bidding process.
Retail propane industry volumes have been declining for several years and no or modest growth in total demand is foreseen in the next several years. Therefore, thePartnership’s ability to grow within the industry is dependent on its ability to acquire other retail distributors and to achieve internal growth, which includesexpansion of the ACE program and the National Accounts program (through which the Partnership encourages multi-location propane users to enter into a singleAmeriGas Propane supply agreement rather than agreements with multiple suppliers), as well as the success of its sales and marketing programs designed to attractand retain customers. The failure of the Partnership to retain and grow its customer base would have an adverse effect on its long-term results.
The domestic propane retail distribution business is highly competitive. The Partnership competes in this business with other large propane marketers, includingother full-service marketers, and thousands of small independent operators. Some farm cooperatives, rural electric cooperatives, and fuel oil distributors includepropane distribution in their businesses and the Partnership competes with them as well. The ability to compete effectively depends on providing high qualitycustomer service, maintaining competitive retail prices and controlling operating expenses. The Partnership also offers customers various payment and serviceoptions, including guaranteed price programs, fixed price arrangements and pricing arrangements based on published propane prices at specified terminals.
In Fiscal 2016, the Partnership’s retail propane sales totaled nearly 1.1 billion gallons. Based on the most recent annual survey by the American PetroleumInstitute, 2014 domestic retail propane sales (annual sales for other than chemical uses) in the U.S. totaled approximately 9.3 billion gallons. Based on LP-GASmagazine rankings, 2014 sales volume of the ten largest propane distribution companies (including AmeriGas Partners) represented approximately 39% ofdomestic retail sales.
Properties
As of September 30, 2016, the Partnership owned approximately 85% of its nearly 690 local offices throughout the country. The transportation of propane requiresspecialized equipment. The trucks and railroad tank cars utilized for this purpose carry specialized steel tanks that maintain the propane in a liquefied state. As ofSeptember 30, 2016, the Partnership operated a transportation fleet with the following assets:

Table of Contents
Other assets owned at September 30, 2016 included approximately 1.8 million stationary storage tanks with typical capacities of more than 120 gallons,approximately 4.9 million portable propane cylinders with typical capacities of 1 to 120 gallons, 22 terminals, 9 transflow sites, and 12 transflow units.
Trade Names, Trade and Service Marks
The Partnership markets propane and other services principally under the “AmeriGas®”, “America’s Propane Company®”, “Heritage Propane®”, “RelationshipsMatter®”, “Metro Lawn” and “ServiceMark®” trade names and related service marks. The Partnership also markets propane under various other trade namesthroughout the United States. UGI owns, directly or indirectly, all the right, title and interest in the “AmeriGas” name and related trade and service marks. TheGeneral Partner owns all right, title and interest in the “America’s Propane Company” trade name and related service marks. The Partnership has an exclusive(except for use by UGI, AmeriGas, Inc., AmeriGas Polska Sp. z.o.o. and the General Partner), royalty-free license to use these trade names and related servicemarks. UGI and the General Partner each have the option to terminate its respective license agreement (except its licenses with permitted transferees and on 12months prior notice in the case of UGI), without penalty, if the General Partner is removed as general partner of the Partnership for cause. If the General Partnerceases to serve as the general partner of the Partnership other than for cause, the General Partner has the option to terminate its license agreement upon payment ofa fee to AmeriGas Propane, L.P. equal to the fair market value of the licensed trade names. UGI has a similar termination option; however, UGI must provide 12months prior notice in addition to paying the fee to AmeriGas Propane, L.P. UGI and the General Partner each also have the right to terminate its respective licenseagreement in order to settle any claim of infringement, unfair competition or similar claim or if the agreement has been materially breached without appropriatecure.
Seasonality
Because many customers use propane for heating purposes, the Partnership’s retail sales volume is seasonal. During Fiscal 2016, approximately 64% of thePartnership’s retail sales volume occurred, and substantially all of the Partnership’s operating income was earned, during the peak heating season from Octoberthrough March. As a result of this seasonality, sales are typically higher in the Partnership’s first and second fiscal quarters (October 1 through March 31). Cashreceipts are generally greatest during the second and third fiscal quarters when customers pay for propane purchased during the winter heating season.
Sales volume for the Partnership traditionally fluctuates from year-to-year in response to variations in weather, prices, competition, customer mix and other factors,such as conservation efforts and general economic conditions.

The Partnership is subject to various federal, state and local environmental, health, safety and transportation laws and regulations governing the storage,distribution and transportation of propane and the operation of bulk storage propane terminals. Generally, these laws impose limitations on the discharge ofpollutants, establish standards for the handling of solid and hazardous substances, and require the investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination. Theselaws include, among others, the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act(“CERCLA”), the Clean Air Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”), the Homeland Security Act of 2002, the Emergency Planning andCommunity Right-to-Know Act, the Clean Water Act, and comparable state statutes. We incur expenses associated with compliance with our obligations underfederal and state environmental laws and regulations, and we believe that we are in material compliance with all of our obligations. We maintain various permitsthat are necessary to operate our facilities, some of which may be material to our operations. We continually monitor our operations with respect to potentialenvironmental issues, including changes in legal requirements.
Hazardous Substances and Wastes
The Partnership is investigating and remediating contamination at a number of present and former operating sites in the United States, including former sites whereit or its former subsidiaries operated manufactured gas plants. CERCLA and similar state laws impose joint and several liability on certain classes of personsconsidered to have contributed to the release or threatened release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment without regard to fault or the legality of theoriginal conduct. Propane is not a hazardous substance within the meaning of CERCLA.

Health and Safety
The Partnership is subject to the requirements of OSHA and comparable state laws that regulate the protection of the health and safety of our workers. These lawsrequire the Partnership, among other things, to maintain information about materials, some of which may be hazardous or toxic, that are used, released, or producedin the course of our operations. Certain portions of this information must be provided to employees, state and local governmental authorities and responders,commercial and industrial customers, and local citizens in accordance with applicable federal and state Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Actrequirements. The Partnership’s operations are also subject to the safety hazard communication requirements and reporting obligations set forth in federalworkplace standards.
All states in which the Partnership operates have adopted fire safety codes that regulate the storage, distribution, and use of propane. In some states, these laws areadministered by state agencies, and in others they are administered on a municipal level. The Partnership conducts training programs to help ensure that itsoperations are in compliance with applicable governmental regulations. With respect to general operations, National Fire Protection Association (“NFPA”)Pamphlets No. 54 and No. 58 and/or one or more of various international codes (including international fire, building and fuel gas codes) establish rules andprocedures governing the safe handling of propane, or comparable regulations, which have been adopted by all states in which the Partnership operates.Management believes that the policies and procedures currently in effect at all of its facilities for the handling, storage, distribution, and use of propane areconsistent with industry standards and are in compliance, in all material respects, with applicable environmental, health and safety laws.
With respect to the transportation of propane by truck, the Partnership is subject to regulations promulgated under federal legislation, including the Federal MotorCarrier Safety Act, the Hazardous Materials & Transportation Act, and the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Regulations under these statutes cover the security andtransportation of hazardous materials, including propane for purposes of these regulations, and are administered by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials SafetyAdministration of the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”). The Natural Gas Safety Act of 1968 required the DOT to develop and enforce minimum safetyregulations for the transportation of gases by pipeline. The DOT's pipeline safety regulations apply, among other things, to a propane gas system that supplies 10 ormore residential customers or two or more commercial customers from a single source and to a propane gas system any portion of which is located in a publicplace. The DOT’s pipeline safety regulations require operators of all gas systems to provide operator qualification standards and training and written instructionsfor employees and third party contractors working on covered pipelines and facilities, establish written procedures to minimize the hazards resulting from gaspipeline emergencies, and conduct and keep records of inspections and testing. Operators are subject to the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002. Managementbelieves that the procedures currently in effect at all of the Partnership’s facilities for the handling, storage, transportation and distribution of propane are consistentwith industry standards and are in compliance, in all material respects, with applicable laws and regulations.
Climate Change
There continues to be concern, both nationally and internationally, about climate change and the contribution of greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, most notablycarbon dioxide, to global warming. Because propane is considered a clean alternative fuel under the federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, we anticipate thatthis will provide us with a competitive advantage over other sources of energy, such as fuel oil and coal, to the extent new climate change regulations becomeeffective. At the same time, increased regulation of GHG emissions, especially in the transportation sector, could impose significant additional costs on thePartnership, suppliers and customers. In recent years, there has been an increase in state initiatives aimed at regulating GHG emissions. For example, the CaliforniaEnvironmental Protection Agency established a Cap & Trade program that requires certain covered entities, including propane distribution companies, to purchaseallowances to compensate for the GHG emissions created by their business operations. The impact of new legislation and regulations will depend on a number offactors, including (i) which industry sectors would be impacted, (ii) the timing of required compliance, (iii) the overall GHG emissions cap level, (iv) the allocationof emission allowances to specific sources, and (v) the costs and opportunities associated with compliance.
Employees
The Partnership does not directly employ any persons responsible for managing or operating the Partnership. The General Partner provides these services and isreimbursed for its direct and indirect costs and expenses, including all compensation and benefit costs. At September 30, 2016, the General Partner had nearly8,300 employees, including over 430 part-time, seasonal and temporary employees, working on behalf of the Partnership. UGI also performs certain financial andadministrative services for the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership and is reimbursed by the Partnership.

UGI INTERNATIONAL
UGI FRANCE
Our UGI France LPG distribution business is conducted in France and the Benelux countries (consisting of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg). UGIFrance also operates a natural gas marketing business in France and Belgium and sold approximately 17 million dekatherms of natural gas during Fiscal 2016.
Products, Services and Marketing
During Fiscal 2016, UGI France sold approximately 451 million gallons of LPG in France and approximately 46 million gallons of LPG in the Benelux countries.UGI France is the largest LPG distributor in France and one of the largest LPG distributors in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. UGI France’s customerbase consists of residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural and motor fuel customer accounts that use LPG for space heating, cooking, water heating, processheat, forklift operations, and transportation. UGI France sells LPG in cylinders, and in small, medium and large tanks. Sales of LPG are also made to servicestations to accommodate vehicles that run on LPG. UGI France sells LPG in cylinders to approximately 20,000 retail outlets, such as supermarkets, individuallyowned stores and gas stations. Supermarket sales represented approximately 76% of UGI France’s butane cylinder sales volume and approximately 16% of UGIFrance’s propane cylinder sales volume in Fiscal 2016. At September 30, 2016, UGI France had approximately 404,000 bulk customers, approximately 28,000natural gas customers and over 15 million cylinders in circulation. Approximately 59% of UGI France’s Fiscal 2016 sales (based on volumes) were cylinder andsmall bulk, 15% medium bulk, 22% large bulk and 4% to service stations for automobiles. UGI France also engages in wholesale sales of LPG and provideslogistics, storage and other services to third-party LPG distributors. In addition, UGI France operates a natural gas marketing business in France and Belgium thatserves both commercial and residential customers. No single customer represents, or is anticipated to represent, more than 10% of total revenues for UGI France.
Sales to small bulk customers represent the largest segment of UGI France’s business in terms of volume, revenue and total margin. Small bulk customers areprimarily residential and small business users, such as restaurants, that use LPG mainly for heating and cooking. Small bulk customers also include municipalities,which use LPG for heating certain sports facilities and swimming pools, and the poultry industry for use in chicken brooding.
Medium bulk customers use propane only, and consist mainly of large residential developments such as housing developments, hospitals, municipalities andmedium-sized industrial enterprises, and poultry brooders. Large bulk customers include agricultural companies and companies that use LPG in their industrialprocesses.
The principal end-users of cylinders are residential customers who use LPG supplied in this form for domestic applications such as cooking and heating. Butanecylinders accounted for approximately 52% of all LPG cylinders distributed by UGI France in Fiscal 2016, with propane cylinders accounting for 48% of all LPGcylinders distributed by UGI France in Fiscal 2016. Propane cylinders are also used to supply fuel for forklift trucks. The market demand for cylinders continues todecline, due primarily to customers gradually changing to other household energy sources for cooking and heating, such as natural gas and electricity.
LPG Supply and Storage
UGI France had an agreement with Total France for the supply of propane and butane in France, with pricing based on internationally quoted market prices. Underthis agreement, during Fiscal 2016 approximately 50% of UGI France’s propane and butane requirements in France were guaranteed until September 2016. InFiscal 2016, UGI France purchased substantially all of its propane supply for its operations in France from Total France, SHV, and TOTSA and substantially all ofits butane and propane supply for its operations in the Benelux countries from SHV and GUNVOR. The balance of its propane and butane requirements werepurchased on the international market and on the domestic spot market.
UGI France has interests in three primary storage facilities that are located at deep sea harbor facilities, and 54 secondary storage facilities. It also manages anextensive logistics and transportation network. Access to seaborne facilities allows UGI France to diversify its LPG supplies through imports. LPG stored inprimary storage facilities is transported to smaller storage facilities by rail, sea and road. At secondary storage facilities, LPG is loaded into cylinders or trucksequipped with tanks and then delivered to customers.

Competition and Seasonality
The LPG markets in France and the Benelux countries are mature, with modest declines in total demand due to competition with other fuels and other energysources, conservation and the economic climate. Sales volumes are affected principally by the severity of the weather and customer migration to alternative energyforms, including natural gas and electricity. Because UGI France’s profitability is sensitive to changes in wholesale LPG costs, UGI France generally seeks to passon increases in the cost of LPG to customers. There is no assurance, however, that UGI France will always be able to pass on product cost increases fully whenproduct costs rise rapidly. Product cost increases can be triggered by periods of severe cold weather, supply interruptions, increases in the prices of basecommodities such as crude oil and natural gas, or other unforeseen events. High LPG prices also may result in slower than expected growth due to customerconservation and customers seeking less expensive alternative energy sources. France derives a significant portion of its electricity from nuclear power plants. Dueto the nuclear power plants, as well as the regulation of electricity prices by the French government, electricity prices in France are generally less expensive thanLPG. As a result, electricity has increasingly become a more significant competitor to LPG in France than in other countries where we operate. In addition,government policies and incentives that favor alternative energy sources can result in customers migrating to energy sources other than LPG in both France and theBenelux countries.
In Fiscal 2016, UGI France competed in all of its product markets in France on a national level, principally with two LPG distribution companies, Butagaz (ownedby DCC Energy) and Compagnie des Gaz de Petrole Primagaz (owned by SHV Holding NV), as well as with a regional competitor, Vitogaz. UGI France alsocompetes with supermarket chains that affiliate with LPG distributors to offer their own brands of cylinders. UGI France has partnered with two supermarketchains in France in this market. If UGI France is unsuccessful in expanding its services to other supermarket chains, its market share through supermarket salesmay decline in France. In the Benelux countries, UGI France competes in all of its product markets on a national level, principally with Compagnie des Gaz dePetrole Primagaz, as well as with several regional competitors. In recent years, competition has increased in the Benelux countries as small competitors havereduced their price offerings. In the Netherlands, several LPG distributors offer their own brands of cylinders. UGI France seeks to increase demand for its butaneand propane cylinders through marketing and product innovations. Some of UGI France’s competitors are affiliates of its LPG suppliers. As a result, itscompetitors may obtain product at more competitive prices.
Because many of UGI France’s customers use LPG for heating, sales volume is affected principally by the severity of the temperatures during the heating seasonmonths and traditionally fluctuates from year-to-year in response to variations in weather, prices and other factors, such as conservation efforts and the challengingeconomic climate. Demand for LPG is higher during the colder months of the year. During Fiscal 2016, approximately 63% of UGI France’s retail sales volumeoccurred, and substantially all of UGI France’s operating income was earned, during the six months from October through March. For historical information onweather statistics for UGI France, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Government Regulation
UGI France’s business is subject to various laws and regulations at the national and European levels with respect to matters such as protection of the environment,the storage and handling of hazardous materials and flammable substances, the discharge of contaminants into the environment and the safety of persons andproperty. In Belgium and Luxembourg, UGI France is also subject to price regulations that permit UGI France to increase the price of LPG sold to small bulk,medium bulk, large bulk and cylinder customers (up to a defined maximum price) when UGI France’s costs fluctuate.
Properties
UGI France has interests in three primary storage facilities, one of which is a refrigerated facility. In addition, UGI France is able to use 30,000 cubic meters ofcapacity of a storage facility, Donges, by virtue of Antargaz’ 50% ownership of GIE Donges.
In connection with the Totalgaz Acquisition and pursuant to the République Française Autorité de la Concurrence’s decision to approve the acquisition in May2015, UGI France agreed to sell certain depots and a portion of its interests in GIE Norgal and Cobogal; the sale related to GIE Norgal was completed in October2015 and the sale of Cobogal was completed in April 2016. The table below sets forth details of UGI France’s current ownership in its three primary storagefacilities, including GIE Norgal and Cobogal:

FLAGA & AVANTIGAS
During Fiscal 2016, our UGI International - Flaga & AvantiGas LPG distribution businesses were conducted principally in Europe through our wholly-ownedsubsidiaries, Flaga and AvantiGas. Flaga is referred to in this section collectively with its subsidiaries as “Flaga” unless the context otherwise requires. Flagaoperates in Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden and Switzerland. AvantiGas operates in theUnited Kingdom.
During Fiscal 2016, Flaga sold approximately 272 million gallons of LPG. Flaga is the largest distributor of LPG in Austria, Denmark, and Hungary and one of thelargest distributors of LPG in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Norway, and Sweden. During Fiscal 2016, AvantiGas sold over 163 million gallons of LPG.
FLAGA
Products, Services and Marketing
During Fiscal 2016, Flaga sold approximately 272 million gallons of LPG (of which approximately 14 million gallons were to wholesale customers). Flaga servescustomers that use LPG for residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, resale, and automobile fuel (“auto gas”) purposes. Flaga’s customers primarily useLPG for heating, cooking, motor fuel (including forklifts), leisure activities, construction work, manufacturing, crop and grain drying, power generation andirrigation. Flaga sells LPG in cylinders and in small, medium, and large bulk tanks. At September 30, 2016, Flaga had nearly 64,000 customers and nearly 4.4million cylinders in circulation. Approximately 34% of Flaga’s Fiscal 2016 sales (based on volumes) were cylinder and small bulk, 15% auto gas, 45% large bulk,and 6% medium bulk.
Flaga has a total of 17 sales offices throughout the countries it serves. Sales offices generally consist of an office location where customers can directly purchaseLPG. Except for Poland (33%), no single country represented more than approximately 15% of Flaga’s total LPG gallons sold in Fiscal 2016. Flaga distributescylinders directly to its customers and through the use of distributors who resell the cylinders to end users under the distributor’s pricing and terms. No singlecustomer represents or is anticipated to represent more than 5% of total revenues for Flaga.
LPG Supply and Storage
Flaga typically enters into an annual LPG supply agreement with TCO/Chevron. During Fiscal 2016, TCO/Chevron supplied approximately 41% of Flaga’s LPGrequirements, with pricing based on internationally quoted market prices, and 29 suppliers accounted for the remaining 59% of Flaga’s LPG supply. Flaga alsopurchases LPG on the international market and on the domestic markets, under annual term agreements with international oil and gas trading companies, includingSIBUR, NOVATEK, LOTOS, and PGNIG, and from domestic refineries, primarily OMV, Shell, MOL, and Statoil. In addition, LPG purchases are made on thespot market from international oil and gas traders.
Flaga operates 16 main storage facilities, including one in Denmark and one in Finland that are located at deep sea harbor facilities, two LPG import terminals inPoland, and 22 secondary storage facilities. Flaga manages a widespread logistics and transportation network including approximately 205 leased railcars, and alsomaintains various transloading and filling agreements with third

parties. LPG stored in primary storage facilities is transported to smaller storage facilities by rail or truck.
Competition and Seasonality
The retail propane industry in the Western European countries in which Flaga operates is mature, with slight declines in overall demand in recent years, dueprimarily to the expansion of natural gas, customer conservation and economic conditions. In the Eastern European countries in which Flaga operates, the demandfor LPG is expected to grow in certain segments. Competition for customers is based on contract terms as well as on product prices. Flaga competes with otherLPG marketers, including competitors located in other European countries, and also competes with providers of other sources of energy, principally natural gas,electricity and wood.
Because many of Flaga’s customers use LPG for heating, sales volumes in Flaga’s sales territories are affected by the severity of the temperatures during theheating season months and traditionally fluctuate from year-to-year in response to variations in weather, prices and other factors, such as conservation efforts andthe economic climate. Because Flaga’s profitability is sensitive to changes in wholesale LPG costs, Flaga generally seeks to pass on increases in the cost of LPG tocustomers. There is no assurance, however, that Flaga will always be able to pass on product cost increases fully when product costs rise. In parts of Flaga’s salesterritories, it is particularly difficult to pass on rapid increases in the price of LPG due to the low per capita income of customers in several of its territories and theintensity of competition. Product cost increases can be triggered by periods of severe cold weather, supply interruptions, increases in the prices of basecommodities such as crude oil and natural gas, or other unforeseen events. High LPG prices may result in slower than expected growth due to customerconservation and customers seeking less expensive alternative energy sources. In many of Flaga’s sales territories, government policies and incentives that favoralternative energy sources may result in customers migrating to energy sources other than LPG. Rules and regulations applicable to LPG industry operations inmany of the Eastern European countries where Flaga operates are still evolving, causing intensified competitive conditions in those areas.
Government Regulation
Flaga’s business is subject to various laws and regulations at both the national and European levels with respect to matters such as protection of the environmentand the storage and handling of hazardous materials and flammable substances.
Employees
At September 30, 2016, Flaga had approximately 950 employees.
AVANTIGAS
Products, Services and Marketing
During Fiscal 2016, AvantiGas sold over 163 million gallons of LPG (of which approximately 98 million gallons were wholesale gallons). At September 30, 2016,AvantiGas had over 16,450 customers. AvantiGas serves customers that use LPG for wholesale, aerosol, agricultural, residential, commercial, industrial, and autogas purposes. AvantiGas’ customers primarily use LPG for heating, cooking, motor fuel (including forklifts), leisure activities, industrial processes and aerosolpropellant. AvantiGas sells LPG in cylinders and small, medium, and large bulk tanks with small bulk and cylinder sales representing approximately 8% of Fiscal2016 sales (based on volumes), medium bulk sales representing approximately 2% of Fiscal 2016 sales and large bulk sales representing approximately 90% ofFiscal 2016 sales.
AvantiGas serves its customer base through a centralized customer service center and, therefore, does not have sales offices in the United Kingdom. Sales towholesale customers represented approximately 60% of gallons sold; aerosol customers 21%; agricultural customers 4%; residential customers 6%; andcommercial, industrial and autogas 9%. Three wholesale customers and two aerosol customers collectively represented nearly 53% of AvantiGas’ total revenues inFiscal 2016. No other customer represents or is anticipated to represent more than 5% of total revenues for AvantiGas.
LPG Supply and Storage
AvantiGas has a five-year agreement with Essar Energy plc’s Stanlow refinery, terminating in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, and a one-yearagreement with Statoil UK Ltd.’s Mossmorran terminal for the supply of more than 90% of AvantiGas’ LPG requirements, terminating in Fiscal 2017. Pricing forsuch agreements is based on internationally quoted market prices. In Fiscal 2016, AvantiGas purchased the remainder of its LPG requirements from other thirdparty suppliers.

Table of Contents
AvantiGas operates ten main storage facilities in England, Scotland and Wales. AvantiGas manages a logistics and transportation network, consisting ofapproximately 50 trucks, and also maintains various transportation agreements with third parties. LPG stored in primary storage facilities is transported to smallerstorage facilities or customers by truck.
Competition and Seasonality
The retail propane industry in the United Kingdom is highly concentrated and is mature, with slight declines in overall demand in recent years, due primarily to theexpansion of natural gas, customer conservation and challenging economic conditions. Competition for customers is based on contract terms as well as on productprices. AvantiGas competes with other LPG marketers in the United Kingdom.
Because many of AvantiGas’ customers use gas for heating purposes, sales volumes in AvantiGas’ sales territories are affected principally by the severity of thetemperatures during the heating season months and traditionally fluctuate from year-to-year in response to variations in weather, prices and other factors, such asenergy conservation efforts and the economic climate. During Fiscal 2016, approximately 55% of AvantiGas’ retail sales volume occurred, and approximately 70%of AvantiGas’ operating income was earned, during the peak heating season of October to March. Because AvantiGas’ profitability is sensitive to changes inwholesale LPG costs, AvantiGas generally seeks to pass on increases in the cost of LPG to customers. There is no assurance, however, that AvantiGas will alwaysbe able to pass on product cost increases fully when product costs rise. Product cost increases can be triggered by periods of severe cold weather, supplyinterruptions, increases in the prices of base commodities, such as crude oil and natural gas, or other unforeseen events.

MIDSTREAM & MARKETING
ENERGY SERVICES
Retail Energy Marketing
Energy Services sells natural gas, liquid fuels and electricity to approximately 16,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers at approximately 40,000locations. Energy Services serves customers in all or portions of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Ohio, Maryland, Massachusetts, Virginia, NorthCarolina, South Carolina and the District of Columbia. Energy Services distributes natural gas through the use of the distribution systems of 37 local gas utilities. Itsupplies power to customers through the use of the transmission lines of 20 utility systems.
Historically, a majority of Energy Services’ commodity sales have been made under fixed-price agreements, which typically contain a take-or-pay arrangementthat permits customers to purchase a fixed amount of product for a fixed price during a specified period, and requires payment for the product even if the customerdoes not take delivery of the product. However, a growing number of Energy Services’ commodity sales are currently being made under requirements contracts,under which Energy Services is typically an exclusive supplier and will supply as much product at a fixed price as the customer requires. Energy Services managessupply cost volatility related to these agreements by (i) entering into fixed-price supply arrangements with a diverse group of suppliers, (ii) holding its owninterstate pipeline transportation and storage contracts to efficiently utilize gas supplies, (iii) entering into exchange-traded futures contracts on the New YorkMercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), (iv) entering into over-the-counter derivative arrangements with major international banksand major suppliers, (v) utilizing supply assets that it owns or manages, and (vi) utilizing financial transmission rights to hedge price risk against certaintransmission costs. Energy Services also bears the risk for balancing and delivering natural gas and power to its customers under various gas pipeline and utilitycompany tariffs. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Market Risk Disclosures.”

Midstream Assets
Energy Services operates a natural gas liquefaction, storage and vaporization facility in Temple, Pennsylvania (“Temple Facility”), and propane storage andpropane-air mixing stations in Bethlehem, Reading, Hunlock Creek, and White Deer, Pennsylvania. It also operates propane storage, rail transshipment terminals,and propane-air mixing stations in Steelton and Williamsport, Pennsylvania. These assets are used in Energy Services’ energy peaking business that providessupplemental energy, primarily liquefied natural gas and propane-air mixtures, to gas utilities on interstate pipelines at times of high demand (generally duringperiods of coldest winter weather). In addition, Energy Services sells LNG to customers for use by trucks, drilling rigs, other motor vehicles and facilities locatedoff the gas grid. Energy Services also manages natural gas pipeline and storage contracts for UGI Utilities and Frontier Natural Gas, subject to a competitive bidprocess.
In Fiscal 2016, Energy Services continued making investments to expand its energy peaking and LNG fuels business by initiating the construction of twoinfrastructure projects, the Manning LNG liquefaction plant and the Steelton LNG peak shaving facility. The Manning LNG liquefaction plant has been designedto produce 10,000 dekatherms of LNG per day with 280,000 gallons of storage and trucking-loading capability and is expected to be completed in Fiscal 2017. TheSteelton LNG peak shaving facility has been designed to provide 75,000 dekatherms per day of peaking capacity and two million gallons of LNG storage and isexpected to be completed in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Services owns and operates underground natural gas storage and related high pressure pipeline facilities, which have FERCapproval to sell storage services at market-based rates. The storage facilities are located in the Marcellus Shale region of north-central Pennsylvania and have atotal storage capacity of 15 million dekatherms and a maximum daily withdrawal quantity of 224,000 dekatherms. In Fiscal 2016, Energy Services leased morethan 85% of the firm capacity at its underground natural gas facilities to third parties.
In Fiscal 2016, Energy Services continued making investments in infrastructure projects to support the development of natural gas in the Marcellus Shale region ofPennsylvania. An expansion of Energy Services’ Auburn Gathering System in the Marcellus Shale region was completed, adding 150,000 dekatherms of capacityper day. The Auburn gathering system includes a new 24” pipeline that will loop the original 12” Auburn line. With this expansion, the Auburn gathering system isnow capable of delivering up to 470,000 dekatherms of capacity per day to both the Tennessee Gas Pipeline and the Transcontinental Gas Pipeline.
In Fiscal 2016, Energy Services also made progress on its participation in the PennEast Pipeline project to develop an approximately 118-mile pipeline fromLuzerne County, Pennsylvania to the Trenton-Woodbury interconnection in New Jersey. When completed, the pipeline will transport approximately 1 billion cubicfeet of lower cost natural gas to residential and commercial customers each day. In July 2016, FERC issued a Draft Environmental Impact Statement with respectto the PennEast Pipeline project and Energy Services expects to receive a Final Environmental Impact Statement and FERC Certificate in Fiscal 2017.
During Fiscal 2016, Energy Services, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, UGI Sunbury, LLC, started construction on an approximately 35-mile interstate naturalgas pipeline in central Pennsylvania to serve the proposed Hummel Station combined-cycle 1,000 megawatt power generation facility near the Shamokin Dam inSnyder County, Pennsylvania (Sunbury Pipeline project). The project is expected to be completed in Fiscal 2017.
Future planned investments are expected to cover a range of midstream asset opportunities, including interstate pipelines, local gathering systems and gas storagefacilities and complementary and related investments.
HVAC Business
Energy Services also conducts a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, mechanical & electrical contracting, and project management service businessthrough its HVAC business unit, which serves portions of eastern and central Pennsylvania and portions of New Jersey and northern Delaware. This businessserves customers in residential, commercial, industrial and new construction markets.
Competition
Energy Services competes with other midstream operators to sell gathering, compression, storage, and pipeline transportation services. Energy Services competesin both the regulated and non-regulated environment against interstate and intrastate pipelines that gather, compress, process, transport, and market natural gas.Energy Services sells midstream services primarily to producers, marketers, and utilities on the basis of price, customer service, flexibility, reliability, andoperational experience. The competition in the midstream segment is significant and has grown recently in the northeast U.S. as more competitors seekopportunities offered

by the development of the Marcellus and Utica Shales.
Energy Services also competes with other marketers, consultants, and local utilities to sell natural gas, liquid fuels, electric power, and related services tocustomers in its service area principally on the basis of price, customer service, and reliability. Energy Services has faced an increase in competition in recent yearsas new markets for natural gas, liquid fuels, electric power, and related services have emerged.
Government Regulation
FERC has jurisdiction over the rates and terms and conditions of service of wholesale sales of electric capacity and energy, as well as the sales for resale of naturalgas and related storage and transportation services. Energy Services has a tariff on file with FERC pursuant to which it may make power sales to wholesalecustomers at market-based rates. Energy Services also has market-based rate authority for power sales to wholesale customers, to the extent that Energy Servicespurchases power in excess of its retail customer needs. Two subsidiaries of Energy Services currently operate natural gas storage facilities under FERC certificateapprovals and offer services to wholesale customers at FERC-approved market-based rates. In May 2016, Energy Services received FERC approval for UGI Mt.Bethel Pipeline Company, LLC, a newly created, wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Services, to acquire an existing 12.5 mile, 12-inch-diameter pipeline locatedin Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The acquisition was completed and the Mt. Bethel Pipeline was placed into interstate service in July 2016. As a result of theacquisition, Energy Services and its subsidiaries were required to achieve compliance with the FERC Standards of Conduct (“SOC”). Energy Services developed acompliance policy, relocated employee offices, adopted new IT security measures and conducted employee training to achieve full SOC compliance by July 2,2016. UGI Sunbury, LLC also received FERC approval for the Sunbury Pipeline project in April 2016. The Sunbury Pipeline is currently under construction,subject to a FERC-approved implementation plan and inspection procedures, and is expected to be placed into service in Fiscal 2017. In addition, the PennEastPipeline project filed an application for FERC approval in September 2015 and the application remains pending. Energy Services is also subject to FERC reportingrequirements, market manipulation rules and other FERC enforcement and regulatory powers with respect to its wholesale commodity business.
Energy Services’ midstream operations include natural gas gathering pipelines and compression in northeastern Pennsylvania that are regulated under the PipelineSafety Improvement Act of 2002 and subject to operational oversight by both the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the PUC.
Energy Services is subject to various federal, state and local environmental, safety and transportation laws and regulations governing the storage, distribution andtransportation of propane and the operation of bulk storage LPG terminals.

UGI UTILITIES
GAS UTILITY
Gas Utility consists of the regulated natural gas distribution businesses of our subsidiary, UGI Utilities, and UGI Utilities’ subsidiaries, PNG and CPG. Gas Utilityserves over 626,000 customers in eastern and central Pennsylvania and more than five hundred customers in portions of one Maryland county. Gas Utility isregulated by the PUC and, with respect to its customers in Maryland, the Maryland Public Service Commission.
Service Area; Revenue Analysis
Gas Utility provides natural gas distribution services to over 626,000 customers in certificated portions of 44 eastern and central Pennsylvania counties through itsdistribution system. Contemporary materials, such as plastic or coated steel, comprise approximately 89% of Gas Utility’s 12,000 miles of gas mains, with baresteel pipe comprising approximately 8% and cast iron pipe comprising approximately 3% of Gas Utility’s gas mains. In accordance with Gas Utility’s agreementwith the PUC, Gas Utility will replace the cast iron portion of its gas mains by March of 2027 and the bare steel portion by September 2041. The service areaincludes the cities of Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Harrisburg, Hazleton, Lancaster, Lebanon, Reading, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Lock Haven, Pittston, Pottsville,and Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and the boroughs of Honesdale and Milford, Pennsylvania. Located in Gas Utility’s service area are major production centers forbasic industries such as specialty metals, aluminum, glass and paper product manufacturing. Gas Utility also distributes natural gas to more than 500 customers inportions of one Maryland county.
System throughput (the total volume of gas sold to or transported for customers within Gas Utility’s distribution system) for Fiscal 2016 was approximately 212.4billion cubic feet (“bcf”). System sales of gas accounted for approximately 25% of system throughput, while gas transported for residential, commercial andindustrial customers who bought their gas from others accounted for approximately 75% of system throughput.
Sources of Supply and Pipeline Capacity
Gas Utility is permitted to recover prudently incurred costs of natural gas it sells to its customers. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of FinancialCondition and Results of Operations - Market Risk Disclosures” and Note 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements. Gas Utility meets its service requirements byutilizing a diverse mix of natural gas purchase contracts with marketers and producers, along with storage and transportation service contracts. These arrangementsenable Gas Utility to purchase gas from Marcellus, Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent, and Appalachian sources. For the transportation and storage function, Gas Utilityhas long-term agreements with a number of pipeline companies, including Texas Eastern Transmission, LP, Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC, TranscontinentalGas Pipeline Company, LLC, Dominion Transmission, Inc., ANR Pipeline Company, and Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C.

Table of Contents
Gas Supply Contracts
During Fiscal 2016, Gas Utility purchased approximately 64.7 bcf of natural gas for sale to retail core-market customers (principally comprised of firm- residential,commercial and industrial customers that purchase their gas from Gas Utility (“retail core-market”)) and off-system sales customers. Approximately 88% of thevolumes purchased were supplied under agreements with 10 suppliers. The remaining 12% of gas purchased by Gas Utility was supplied by approximately 30producers and marketers. Gas supply contracts for Gas Utility are generally no longer than 12 months. Gas Utility also has long-term contracts with suppliers fornatural gas peaking supply during the months of November through March.
Seasonality
Because many of its customers use gas for heating purposes, Gas Utility’s sales are seasonal. For Fiscal 2016, nearly 60% of Gas Utility’s sales volume wassupplied, and more than 80% of Gas Utility’s operating income was earned, during the peak heating season from October through March.
Competition
Natural gas is a fuel that competes with electricity and oil and, to a lesser extent, with propane and coal. Competition among these fuels is primarily a function oftheir comparative price and the relative cost and efficiency of the equipment. Natural gas generally benefits from a competitive price advantage over oil, electricity,and propane, although the price gap between natural gas and oil narrowed in Fiscal 2016 due to a reduction in the price of oil. Fuel oil dealers compete forcustomers in all categories, including industrial customers. Gas Utility responds to this competition with marketing and sales efforts designed to retain, expand, andgrow its customer base.
In substantially all of its service territories, Gas Utility is the only regulated gas distribution utility having the right, granted by the PUC or by law, to provide gasdistribution services. Larger commercial and industrial customers have the right to purchase gas supplies from entities other than natural gas distribution utilitycompanies. As a result of Pennsylvania’s Natural Gas Choice and Competition Act, effective July 1, 1999, all of Gas Utility’s customers, including core-marketcustomers, have been afforded this opportunity.
A number of Gas Utility’s commercial and industrial customers have the ability to switch to an alternate fuel at any time and, therefore, are served on aninterruptible basis under rates that are competitively priced with respect to the alternate fuel. Margin from these customers, therefore, is affected by the differenceor “spread” between the customers’ delivered cost of gas and the customers’ delivered cost of the alternate fuel, the frequency and duration of interruptions, andalternative firm service options. See “Gas Utility Regulation and Rates - Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Jurisdiction and Gas Utility Rates.”
Approximately 31% of Gas Utility’s annual throughput volume for commercial and industrial customers includes non-interruptible customers with firm rates withlocations that afford them the opportunity of seeking transportation service directly from interstate pipelines, thereby bypassing Gas Utility. In addition,approximately 26% of Gas Utility’s annual throughput volume for commercial and industrial customers is from customers who are served under interruptible ratesand are also in a location near an interstate pipeline. Gas Utility has 42 such customers, 39 of which have transportation contracts extending beyond fiscal year2017. The majority of these customers are served under transportation contracts having 3- to 20-year terms and all are among the largest customers for Gas Utilityin terms of annual volumes. No single customer represents, or is anticipated to represent, more than 5% of Gas Utility’s total revenues.
Outlook for Gas Service and Supply
Gas Utility anticipates having adequate pipeline capacity, peaking services and other sources of supply available to it to meet the full requirements of all firmcustomers on its system through Fiscal 2017. Supply mix is diversified, market priced, and delivered pursuant to a number of long-term and short-term primaryfirm transportation and storage arrangements, including transportation contracts held by some of Gas Utility’s larger customers.
During Fiscal 2016, Gas Utility supplied transportation service to four major co-generation installations and nine electric generation facilities. Gas Utilitycontinues to seek new residential, commercial, and industrial customers for both firm and interruptible service. In Fiscal 2016, Gas Utility connected over 2,300new commercial and industrial customers. In the residential market sector, Gas Utility added nearly 14,000 residential heating customers during Fiscal 2016.Approximately 30% of these customers were the result of new home construction and approximately 70% of these customers converted to natural gas heating fromother energy sources, mainly oil and electricity. Existing non-heating gas customers who added gas heating systems to replace other energy sources primarilyaccounted for the other residential heating connections in Fiscal 2016.

UGI Utilities continues to monitor and participate, where appropriate, in rulemaking and individual rate and tariff proceedings before FERC affecting the rates andthe terms and conditions under which Gas Utility transports and stores natural gas. Among these proceedings are those arising out of certain FERC orders and/orpipeline filings that relate to (i) the pricing of pipeline services in a competitive energy marketplace; (ii) the flexibility of the terms and conditions of pipelineservice tariffs and contracts; and (iii) pipelines’ requests to increase their base rates, or change the terms and conditions of their storage and transportation services.
UGI Utilities’ objective in negotiations with interstate pipeline and natural gas suppliers, and in proceedings before regulatory agencies, is to assure availability ofsupply, transportation, and storage alternatives to serve market requirements at the lowest cost possible, taking into account the need for security with guaranteeddeliverability and reliability of supply. Consistent with that objective, UGI Utilities negotiates the terms of firm transportation capacity on all pipelines serving it,arranges for appropriate storage and peak-shaving resources, negotiates with producers for competitively priced gas purchases and aggressively participates inregulatory proceedings related to transportation rights and costs of service.
Gas Utility Regulation and Rates
Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Jurisdiction and Gas Utility Rates
Gas Utility is subject to regulation by the PUC as to rates, terms and conditions of service, accounting matters, issuance of securities, contracts and otherarrangements with affiliated entities, and various other matters. Rates that Gas Utility may charge for gas service come in two forms: (i) rates designed to recoverpurchased gas costs (“PGCs”); and (ii) rates designed to recover costs other than PGCs. Rates designed to recover PGCs are reviewed in PGC proceedings. Ratesdesigned to recover costs other than PGCs are primarily established in general base rate proceedings.
In January 2016, UGI Gas filed a request with the PUC for its first base rate increase in over 21 years. On October 14, 2016, the PUC approved a settlement thatwas effective October 19, 2016 and will result in a $27.0 million increase in annual base rate revenues. The settlement permits UGI Gas to establish newreconcilable surcharges to permit the timely recovery of the costs of universal service programs designed to assist low income customers, and costs associated witha new energy efficiency and conservation program. UGI Gas will also be permitted to implement a new Technology and Economic Development Rider to provideadditional flexibility in establishing the rates of smaller volume commercial and industrial customers to encourage cost-effective load growth. The base rates ofPNG and CPG were last established in 2009 and 2011, respectively.
On February 20, 2014, the PUC entered an order approving a Growth Extension Tariff (“GET Gas”) program under which UGI Gas, PNG, and CPG may invest upto $5 million per year for five years, or $75 million in the aggregate for all three utilities, to extend natural gas utility pipelines to provide service to unserved andunderserved areas within their respective territories. Under the GET Gas program, customers utilizing the extended pipeline to receive natural gas will pay amonthly surcharge over a 10-year period to cover the cost of the extension. Gas Utility began connecting customers under the GET Gas program in October 2014.
In February 2012, Act 11 of 2012 (“Act 11”) became effective. Among other things, Act 11 authorized the PUC to permit electric and gas distribution companies,between base rate cases and subject to certain conditions, to recover reasonable and prudent costs incurred to repair, improve, or replace eligible property through aDistribution System Improvement Charge (“DSIC”) assessed to customers. DSICs are subject to quarterly adjustment, are capped at five percent of total customercharges absent a PUC-granted exception, may only be sought if a base rate case has been filed within the last five years, and are subject to certain earnings tests. Inaddition, Act 11 requires affected utilities to obtain approval of long-term infrastructure improvement plans (“LTIIP”) from the PUC. Act 11 also authorizedelectric and gas distribution companies to utilize a fully forecasted future test year when establishing rates in base rate cases before the PUC.
The PUC approved LTIIPs for UGI Gas, PNG, and CPG in 2014, and on June 30, 2016, approved a revised LTIIP for these entities that increases the projectedspend on DSIC-eligible property for the 2016-2018 period from approximately $266.3 million to $402.8 million. The PUC also approved DSIC mechanisms forPNG and CPG in September 2014 and July 2015, respectively; both PNG and CPG are collecting revenues under their respective DSICs. On March 31, 2016, PNGand CPG filed petitions with the PUC seeking to increase the cap on their DSIC rate mechanisms from five percent to ten percent of billed distribution revenues.The PUC has not yet ruled on these petitions.
On November 9, 2016, UGI Gas received PUC approval to establish a DSIC tariff mechanism effective January 1, 2017. Revenues collected pursuant to themechanism will be subject to refund and recoupment based on the PUC’s final resolution of certain matters set aside for hearing before an Administrative LawJudge. To commence recovery of revenue under the mechanism, UGI
19
Table of Contents
Gas must first place into service a threshold level of DSIC-eligible plant agreed upon in the settlement of its recent base rate case. Achievement of that threshold isnot likely to occur prior to September 30, 2017.
The gas service tariffs for UGI Gas, PNG, and CPG contain PGC rates applicable to firm retail rate schedules for customers who do not obtain natural gas supplyservice from an alternative supplier. These PGC rates permit recovery of substantially all of the prudently incurred costs of natural gas that UGI Gas, PNG, andCPG sell to their customers. PGC rates are reviewed and approved annually by the PUC. UGI Gas, PNG, and CPG may request quarterly or, under certainconditions, monthly adjustments to reflect the actual cost of gas. Quarterly adjustments become effective on one day’s notice to the PUC and are subject to reviewduring the next annual PGC filing. Each proposed annual PGC rate is required to be filed with the PUC six months prior to its effective date. During this period,the PUC holds hearings to determine whether the proposed rate reflects a least-cost fuel procurement policy consistent with the obligation to provide safe, adequateand reliable service. After completion of these hearings, the PUC issues an order permitting the collection of gas costs at levels that meet such standard. The PGCmechanism also provides for an annual reconciliation and for the payment or collection of interest on over and under collections. UGI Gas, PNG, and CPG mayassign to and recover from alternative natural gas suppliers the costs of gas supply contracts acquired to serve the needs of smaller volume customers who elect toreceive their natural gas supply service from an alternative supplier.
On June 23, 2016, Act 47 of 2016 was enacted. Act 47 revised the interest rates that are applied to PGC over and under collections, removed the requirement thatover and under collections be assessed to customers who leave default service to obtain natural gas from an alternative supplier by way of a so-called migrationrider, provided additional assurance of cost recovery for PGC costs, and granted natural gas distribution companies the right to recover the reasonable costsincurred to implement customer choice on a full and current basis through a reconcilable rate mechanism. Gas Utility expects to implement the interest raterevision and migration rider provisions of Act 47 in December 2016.
FERC Market Manipulation Rules and Other FERC Enforcement and Regulatory Powers
UGI Utilities is subject to Section 4A of the Natural Gas Act, which prohibits the use or employment of any manipulative or deceptive devices or contrivances inconnection with the purchase or sale of natural gas or natural gas transportation subject to the jurisdiction of FERC, and FERC regulations that are designed topromote the transparency, efficiency, and integrity of gas markets. UGI Utilities is also subject to Section 222 of the Federal Power Act, which prohibits the use oremployment of any manipulative or deceptive devices or contrivances in connection with the purchase or sale of electric energy or transmission service subject tothe jurisdiction of FERC, and FERC regulations that are designed to promote the transparency, efficiency, and integrity of electric markets.
State Tax Surcharge Clauses
UGI Utilities’ gas service tariffs contain state tax surcharge clauses. The surcharges are recomputed whenever any of the tax rates included in their calculation arechanged. These clauses protect UGI Utilities from the effects of increases in most of the Pennsylvania taxes to which it is subject.
Utility Franchises
UGI Utilities, PNG and CPG each hold certificates of public convenience issued by the PUC and certain “grandfather rights” predating the adoption of thePennsylvania Public Utility Code and its predecessor statutes, which each of them believes are adequate to authorize them to carry on their business in substantiallyall of the territories to which they now render gas service. Under applicable Pennsylvania law, UGI Utilities, PNG and CPG also have certain rights of eminentdomain as well as the right to maintain their facilities in streets and highways in their territories.
Other Government Regulation
In addition to regulation by the PUC and FERC, Gas Utility is subject to various federal, state and local laws governing environmental matters, occupational healthand safety, pipeline safety and other matters. Gas Utility is subject to the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), CERCLA, andcomparable state statutes with respect to the release of hazardous substances on property owned or operated by Gas Utility. See Note 16 to Consolidated FinancialStatements.
Employees
At September 30, 2016, Gas Utility had approximately 1,520 employees.

ELECTRIC UTILITY
Electric Utility supplies electric service to approximately 62,000 customers in portions of Luzerne and Wyoming counties in northeastern Pennsylvania through asystem consisting of over 2,200 miles of transmission and distribution lines and 13 substations. At September 30, 2016, UGI Utilities’ electric utility operationshad approximately 70 employees.
Electric Utility is permitted to recover prudently incurred electricity costs, including costs to obtain supply to meet its customers’ energy requirements, pursuant toa supply plan filed with the PUC. UGI Utilities’ electric utility operations are subject to regulation by the PUC as to rates, terms and conditions of service,accounting matters, issuance of securities, contracts and other arrangements with affiliated entities, and various other matters. The most recent general base rateincrease for Electric Utility became effective in 1996. PUC default service regulations became applicable to Electric Utility’s provision of default service effectiveJanuary 1, 2010 and Electric Utility, consistent with these regulations, has received PUC approval through May 31, 2017 of (i) default service tariff rules, (ii) areconcilable default service cost rate recovery mechanism to recover the cost of acquiring default service supplies, (iii) a plan for meeting the post-2009requirements of the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act (“AEPS Act”), which requires Electric Utility to directly or indirectly acquire certain percentagesof its supplies from designated alternative energy sources, and (iv) a reconcilable AEPS Act cost recovery rate mechanism to recover the costs of complying withAEPS Act requirements applicable to default service supplies for service rendered through May 31, 2017. Under these rules, default service rates for mostcustomers are adjusted quarterly. On April 22, 2016, Electric Utility petitioned the PUC to approve a new default service plan for the period of June 1, 2017through May 31, 2021. On November 9, 2016, the PUC approved a settlement allowing the Company’s new plan to become effective June 1, 2017.
FERC has jurisdiction over the rates and terms and conditions of service of electric transmission facilities used for wholesale or retail choice transactions. ElectricUtility owns electric transmission facilities that are within the control area of PJM and are dispatched in accordance with a FERC-approved open access tariff andassociated agreements administered by PJM. PJM is a regional transmission organization that regulates and coordinates generation supply and the wholesaledelivery of electricity. Electric Utility receives certain revenues collected by PJM, determined under a formulary rate schedule that is adjusted in June of each yearto reflect annual changes in Electric Utility’s electric transmission revenue requirements, when its transmission facilities are used by third parties. FERC hasjurisdiction over the rates and terms and conditions of service of wholesale sales of electric capacity and energy. Electric Utility has a tariff on file with FERCpursuant to which it may make power sales to wholesale customers at market-based rates.
Under provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (“EPACT 2005”), Electric Utility is subject to certain electric reliability standards established by FERC andadministered by an Electric Reliability Organization (“ERO”). Electric Utility anticipates that substantially all the costs of complying with the ERO standards willbe recoverable through its PJM formulary electric transmission rate schedule.
EPACT 2005 also granted FERC authority to impose substantial civil penalties for the violation of any regulations, orders, or provisions under the Federal PowerAct and Natural Gas Act, and clarified FERC’s authority over certain utility or holding company mergers or acquisitions of electric utilities or electric transmittingutility property valued at $10 million or more.
BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The table stating the amounts of revenues, operating income (loss) and identifiable assets attributable to each of UGI’s reportable business segments, and to thegeographic areas in which we operate, for the 2016, 2015 and 2014 fiscal years appears in Note 21 to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of thisReport and is incorporated herein by reference.
EMPLOYEES
At September 30, 2016, UGI and its subsidiaries had approximately 13,320 employees.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There are many factors that may affect our business and results of operations. Additional discussion regarding factors that may affect our business and operatingresults is included elsewhere in this Report.
Our holding company structure could limit our ability to pay dividends or debt service.
We are a holding company whose material assets are the stock of our subsidiaries. Our ability to pay dividends on our common
21
Table of Contents
stock and to pay principal and accrued interest on our debt, if any, depends on the payment of dividends to us by our principal subsidiaries, AmeriGas, Inc., UGIUtilities, Inc. and UGI Enterprises, Inc. (including UGI France). Payments to us by those subsidiaries, in turn, depend upon their consolidated results of operationsand cash flows. The operations of our subsidiaries are affected by conditions beyond our control, including weather, local regulations, competition in national andinternational markets we serve, the costs and availability of propane, butane, natural gas, electricity, and other energy sources and capital market conditions. Theability of our subsidiaries to make payments to us is also affected by the level of indebtedness of our subsidiaries, which is substantial, and the restrictions onpayments to us imposed under the terms of such indebtedness.
Supplier defaults may have a negative effect on our operating results.
When the Company enters into fixed-price sales contracts with customers, it typically enters into fixed-price purchase contracts with suppliers. Depending onchanges in the market prices of products compared to the prices secured in our contracts with suppliers of LPG, natural gas and electricity, a default of one or moreof our suppliers under such contracts could cause us to purchase those commodities at higher prices, which would have a negative impact on our operating results.
We are dependent on our principal propane suppliers, which increases the risks from an interruption in supply and transportation.
During Fiscal 2016, AmeriGas Propane purchased over 89% of its propane needs from twenty suppliers. If supplies from these sources were interrupted, the cost ofprocuring replacement supplies and transporting those supplies from alternative locations might be materially higher and, at least on a short-term basis, ourearnings could be affected. Additionally, in certain areas, a single supplier may provide more than 50% of AmeriGas Propane’s propane requirements. Disruptionsin supply in these areas could also have an adverse impact on our earnings. Our international businesses are similarly dependent upon their suppliers. For example,during Fiscal 2016, AvantiGas purchased over 90% of its propane needs from two suppliers. There is no assurance that our international businesses will be able tocontinue to acquire sufficient supplies of LPG to meet demand at prices or within time periods that would allow them to remain competitive. In addition, much ofFlaga’s LPG is supplied by companies from Kazakhstan and travels through Russia and the Ukraine. The imposition of sanctions on Flaga’s suppliers or asignificant change in Flaga’s LPG supply route could lead to supply disruptions and higher costs, which could have an adverse impact on our earnings.
Our ability to grow our businesses will be adversely affected if we are not successful in making acquisitions or integrating the acquisitions we have made.
One of our strategies is to grow through acquisitions in the U.S. and in international markets. We may choose to finance future acquisitions with debt, equity, cashor a combination of the three. We can give no assurances that we will find attractive acquisition candidates in the future, that we will be able to acquire suchcandidates on economically acceptable terms, that we will be able to finance acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, that any acquisitions will not bedilutive to earnings or that any additional debt incurred to finance an acquisition will not affect our ability to pay dividends.
In addition, the restructuring of the energy markets in the U.S. and internationally, including the privatization of government-owned utilities and the sale of utility-owned assets, is creating opportunities for, and competition from, well-capitalized competitors, which may affect our ability to achieve our business strategy.
To the extent we are successful in making acquisitions, such acquisitions involve a number of risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the assumption ofmaterial liabilities, environmental liabilities, the diversion of management’s attention from the management of daily operations to the integration of operations,difficulties in the assimilation and retention of employees and difficulties in the assimilation of different cultures and practices and internal controls, as well as inthe assimilation of broad and geographically dispersed personnel and operations. The failure to successfully integrate acquisitions could have an adverse effect onour business, financial condition and results of operations.
22
Table of Contents
Regulators may not approve the rates we request and existing rates may be challenged, which may adversely affect our results of operations.
In our UGI Utilities segment, our distribution operations are subject to regulation by the PUC. The PUC, among other things, approves the rates that UGI Utilitiesand its subsidiaries, PNG and CPG, may charge their utility customers, thus impacting the returns that UGI Utilities and its subsidiaries may earn on the assets thatare dedicated to those operations. We expect that UGI Utilities and its subsidiaries will periodically file requests with the PUC to increase base rates that eachcompany charges customers. If UGI Utilities or its applicable subsidiary is required in a rate proceeding to reduce the rates it charges its utility customers, or isunable to obtain approval for timely rate increases from the PUC, particularly when necessary to cover increased costs, UGI Utilities’ or such subsidiary’s revenuegrowth will be limited and earnings may decrease.
We are subject to operating and litigation risks that may not be covered by insurance.
Our business operations in the U.S. and other countries are subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incidental to the handling, storage anddistribution of combustible products, such as LPG, propane and natural gas, and the generation of electricity. These risks could result in substantial losses due topersonal injury and/or loss of life, and severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment arising from explosions and other catastrophic events,including acts of terrorism. As a result, we are sometimes a defendant in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Additionally,environmental contamination could result in future legal proceedings. There can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate to protect us from allmaterial expenses related to pending and future claims or that such levels of insurance will be available in the future at economical prices.
Our operations, capital expenditures and financial results may be affected by regulatory changes and/or market responses to global climate change.
There continues to be concern, both nationally and internationally, about climate change and the contribution of GHG emissions, most notably carbon dioxide, toglobal warming. Increased regulation of GHG emissions, including in the transportation sector, could impose significant additional costs on us, our suppliers andour customers. In addition to carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases include, among others, methane, a component of natural gas. Some states have adopted laws andregulations regulating the emission of GHGs for some industry sectors. For example, the California Environmental Protection Agency established a Cap & Tradeprogram that requires certain covered entities, including propane companies, to purchase allowances to compensate for the GHG emissions created by theirbusiness operations. However, there is currently no federal or regional legislation mandating the reduction of GHG emissions in the U.S. Although Congress hasnot enacted federal climate change legislation, the EPA has begun adopting and implementing regulations to restrict emissions of GHGs from motor vehicles andcertain large stationary sources, and to require reporting of GHG emissions by certain regulated facilities on an annual basis. For the most part, our facilities are notcurrently subject to these regulations, but the potential increased costs of regulatory compliance and mandatory reporting by our customers and suppliers couldhave an effect on our operations or financial condition. The adoption of additional federal or state climate change legislation or regulatory programs to reduceemissions of GHGs could require us or our suppliers to incur increased capital and operating costs, with resulting impact on product price and demand. InSeptember 2009, the EPA issued a final rule establishing a system for mandatory reporting of GHG emissions. In November 2010, the EPA expanded the reach ofits GHG reporting requirements to include the petroleum and natural gas industries. Petroleum and natural gas facilities subject to the rule, which include facilitiesof our natural gas distribution business, were required to begin emissions monitoring in January 2011 and to submit detailed annual reports beginning in March2012. The rule does not require affected facilities to implement GHG emission controls or reductions. However, in August 2015, the EPA finalized the CleanPower Plan rule, which provides standards and guidelines for reducing existing power plants’ GHG emissions and related pollutants by 2030. Under the CleanPower Plan’s standards and guidelines, existing power plants will be required to reduce emissions through a rate-based or a mass-based approach; states begansubmitting their reduction plans to the EPA in September 2016. The impact of new legislation and regulations will depend on a number of factors, including (i)which industry sectors would be impacted, (ii) the timing of required compliance, (iii) the overall GHG emissions cap level, (iv) the allocation of emissionallowances to specific sources, and (v) the costs and opportunities associated with compliance. At this time, we cannot predict the effect that climate changeregulation may have on our business, financial condition or operations in the future.
Our international operations could be subject to increased risks, which may negatively affect our business results.
We currently operate LPG distribution businesses in Europe through our subsidiaries and we continue to explore the expansion of our international businesses. Asa result, we face risks in doing business abroad that we do not face domestically. Certain aspects inherent in transacting business internationally could negativelyimpact our operating results, including:
23
Table of Contents
• costs and difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;• tariffs and other trade barriers;• difficulties in enforcing contractual rights;• longer payment cycles;• local political and economic conditions, including the current financial downturn in the euro zone;• potentially adverse tax consequences, including restrictions on repatriating earnings and the threat of “double taxation”;• fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which can affect demand and increase our costs;• internal control and risk management practices and policies;• potential violations of federal regulatory requirements, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended;• regulatory requirements and changes in regulatory requirements, including Norwegian, Swiss and EU competition laws that may adversely affect theterms of contracts with customers, including with respect to exclusive supply rights, and stricter regulations applicable to the storage and handling ofLPG; and
• new and inconsistently enforced LPG industry regulatory requirements, which can have an adverse effect on our competitive position.
Expanding our midstream asset business by constructing new facilities subjects us to risks.
We seek to grow our midstream asset business by constructing new pipelines and gathering systems. These construction projects involve numerous regulatory,environmental, political and legal uncertainties beyond our control and require the expenditure of significant amounts of capital. These projects may not becompleted on schedule, or at all, or at the anticipated costs. Moreover, our revenues may not increase immediately upon the expenditure of funds on a particularproject. We may construct facilities to capture anticipated future growth in production and demand in an area in which anticipated growth and demand does notmaterialize. As a result, there is the risk that new and expanded facilities may not be able to attract enough customers to achieve our expected investment returns,which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Decreases in the demand for our energy products and services because of warmer-than-normal heating season weather or unfavorable weather may adverselyaffect our results of operations.
Because many of our customers rely on our energy products and services to heat their homes and businesses, our results of operations are adversely affected bywarmer-than-normal heating season weather. Weather conditions have a significant impact on the demand for our energy products and services for both heatingand agricultural purposes. Accordingly, the volume of our energy products sold is at its highest during the peak heating season of October through March and isdirectly affected by the severity of the winter weather. For example, historically, approximately 60% to 70% of AmeriGas Partners’ annual retail propane volumeand UGI France’s annual retail LPG volume, and 60% to 70% of Gas Utility’s natural gas throughput (the total volume of gas sold to or transported for customerswithin our distribution system) has been sold during these months. There can be no assurance that normal winter weather in our market areas will occur in thefuture.
Energy efficiency and technology advances, as well as price induced customer conservation, may result in reduced demand for our energy products andservices.
The trend toward increased conservation and technological advances, including installation of improved insulation and the development of more efficient furnacesand other heating devices, may reduce the demand for energy products. Prices for LPG and natural gas are subject to volatile fluctuations in response to changes insupply and other market conditions. During periods of high energy commodity costs, our prices generally increase, which may lead to customer conservation andattrition. A reduction in demand could lower our revenues and, therefore, lower our net income and adversely affect our cash flows. State and/or federal regulationmay require mandatory conservation measures, which would reduce the demand for our energy products. We cannot predict the materiality of the effect of futureconservation measures or the effect that any technological advances in heating, conservation, energy generation or other devices might have on our operations.
Changes in commodity market prices may have a significant negative effect on our liquidity.
Depending on the terms of our contracts with suppliers as well as our use of financial instruments to reduce volatility in the cost of propane, changes in the marketprice of propane can create margin payment obligations for us and expose us to an increased liquidity risk. In addition, increased demand for domesticallyproduced propane overseas may, depending on production volumes in the U.S., result in higher domestic propane prices and expose us to additional liquidity risks.

Our potential to increase revenues may be affected by the decline of the retail propane industry and our ability to retain and grow our customer base.
The retail LPG distribution industry in the U.S. and each of the Western European countries in which we operate is mature and has been declining over the pastseveral years in the U.S. and Western Europe, with no or modest growth in total demand foreseen in the next several years. Accordingly, we expect that year-to-year industry volumes will be principally affected by weather patterns. Therefore, our ability to grow within the LPG industry is dependent on our ability to acquireother retail distributors and to achieve internal growth, which includes expansion of the domestic ACE and National Accounts programs in the U.S., as well as thesuccess of our sales and marketing programs designed to attract and retain customers. A failure to retain and grow our customer base would have an adverse effecton our results.
UGI Utilities’ transmission and distribution systems may not operate as planned, which may increase expenses or decrease UGI Utilities’ revenues and, thus,have an adverse effect on our financial results.
Our ability to manage operational risk with respect to UGI Utilities’ transmission and distribution systems is critical to our financial results. The business also facesseveral risks, including the breakdown or failure of or damage to equipment or processes (especially due to severe weather or natural disasters), accidents and otherfactors. Operation of UGI Utilities’ transmission and distribution systems below our expectations may result in lost revenues or increased expenses, includinghigher maintenance costs.
The risk of terrorism may adversely affect the economy and the price and availability of LPG, other refined fuels and natural gas.
Terrorist attacks and political unrest may adversely impact the price and availability of LPG (including propane), other refined fuels, and natural gas, as well as ourresults of operations, our ability to raise capital , and our future growth. The impact that the foregoing may have on our industries in general, and on us inparticular, is not known at this time. An act of terror could result in disruptions of crude oil or natural gas supplies and markets (the sources of LPG), cause pricevolatility in the cost of propane, fuel oil, and natural gas, and our infrastructure facilities could be direct or indirect targets. Terrorist activity may also hinder ourability to transport LPG and other refined fuels if our means of supply transportation, such as rail or pipeline, become damaged as a result of an attack. A lowerlevel of economic activity could result in a decline in energy consumption, which could adversely affect our revenues or restrict our future growth. Instability in thefinancial markets as a result of terrorism could also affect our ability to raise capital. We have opted to purchase insurance coverage for terrorist acts within ourproperty and casualty insurance programs, but we can give no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate to fully compensate us for any losses to ourbusiness or property resulting from terrorist acts.
If we are unable to protect our information technology systems against service interruption, misappropriation of data, or breaches of security resulting fromcyber security attacks or other events, or we encounter other unforeseen difficulties in the operation of our information technology systems, our operationscould be disrupted, our business and reputation may suffer, and our internal controls could be adversely affected.
In the ordinary course of business, we rely on information technology systems, including the Internet and third-party hosted services, to support a variety ofbusiness processes and activities and to store sensitive data, including (i) intellectual property, (ii) our proprietary business information and that of our suppliersand business partners, (iii) personally identifiable information of our customers and employees, and (iv) data with respect to invoicing and the collection ofpayments, accounting, procurement, and supply chain activities. In addition, we rely on our information technology systems to process financial information andresults of operations for internal reporting purposes and to comply with financial reporting, legal, and tax requirements. Despite our security measures, ourinformation technology systems may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, sabotage, or other disruptions. A loss ofour information technology systems, or temporary interruptions in the operation of our information technology systems, misappropriation of data, and breaches ofsecurity could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation. In addition, a cyber security attack couldprovide a cyber intruder with the ability to control or alter our pipeline operations. Such an act could result in critical pipeline failures. Moreover, the efficient execution of the Company’s businesses is dependent upon the proper functioning of its internal systems, such as the information technologysystem that supports the Company’s underlying business processes. Any significant failure or malfunction of such information technology systems may result indisruptions of our operations. In addition, the effectiveness of our internal controls could be adversely affected if we encounter unforeseen problems with respectto the operation of our information technology systems. While we have purchased cyber security insurance, there are no assurances that the coverage would beadequate in relation to any incurred losses.

Our operations may be adversely affected by competition from other energy sources.
Our energy products and services face competition from other energy sources, some of which are less costly for equivalent energy value. In addition, we cannotpredict the effect that the development of alternative energy sources might have on our operations.
Our propane businesses compete for customers against suppliers of electricity, fuel oil and natural gas. Electricity is a major competitor of propane but, except inFrance, is generally more expensive than propane on a Btu equivalent basis for space heating, water heating and cooking. Notwithstanding cost, the convenienceand efficiency of electricity make it an attractive energy source for consumers and developers of new homes. In addition, due to the prevalence of nuclear electricgeneration in France, the cost of electricity is generally less expensive than that of LPG, particularly when the cost to install new equipment to convert to LPG isconsidered. Fuel oil is also a major competitor of propane and, although a less environmentally attractive energy source, is currently less expensive than propane.Furnaces and appliances that burn propane will not operate on fuel oil and vice versa, and, therefore, a conversion from one fuel to the other requires theinstallation of new equipment. Our customers generally have an incentive to switch to fuel oil only if fuel oil becomes significantly less expensive than propane.Except for certain industrial and commercial applications, propane is generally not competitive with natural gas in areas where natural gas pipelines already existbecause natural gas is generally a significantly less expensive source of energy than propane. The gradual expansion of natural gas distribution systems in ourservice areas has resulted, and may continue to result, in the availability of natural gas in some areas that previously depended upon propane. As long as natural gasremains a less expensive energy source than propane, our propane business will lose customers in each region into which natural gas distribution systems areexpanded.
Our natural gas businesses compete primarily with electricity and fuel oil, and, to a lesser extent, with propane and coal. Competition among these fuels isprimarily a function of their comparative price and the relative cost and efficiency of fuel utilization equipment. There can be no assurance that our natural gasrevenues will not be adversely affected by this competition.
Our need to comply with, and respond to industry-wide changes resulting from, comprehensive, complex, and sometimes unpredictable governmentalregulations, including regulatory initiatives aimed at increasing competition within our industry, may increase our costs and limit our revenue growth, whichmay adversely affect our operating results.
While we generally refer to our UGI Utilities segment as our “regulated segment,” there are many governmental regulations that have an impact on all of ourbusinesses. Currently, we are subject to extensive and changing international, federal, state, and local safety, health, transportation, tax, and environmental lawsand regulations governing the storage, distribution, and transportation of our energy products. Moreover, existing statutes and regulations may be revised orreinterpreted and new laws and regulations may be adopted or become applicable to the Company that may affect our businesses in ways that we cannot predict.
New regulations, or a change in the interpretation of existing regulations, could result in increased expenditures. In addition, for many of our operations, we arerequired to obtain permits from regulatory authorities and, in some cases, such regulatory permits could subject our operations to additional regulations andstandards of conduct. Failure to obtain or comply with these permits or applicable regulations and standards of conduct could result in civil and criminal fines orthe cessation of the operations in violation. Governmental regulations and policies in the U.S. and Europe may provide for subsidies or incentives to customerswho use alternative fuels instead of carbon fuels. These subsidies and incentives may result in reduced demand for our energy products and services.
We are investigating and remediating contamination at a number of present and former operating sites in the U.S., including former sites where we or our formersubsidiaries operated manufactured gas plants. We have also received claims from third parties that allege that we are responsible for costs to clean up propertieswhere we or our former subsidiaries operated a manufactured gas plant or conducted other operations. Costs we incur to remediate sites outside of Pennsylvaniacannot currently be recovered in PUC rate proceedings, and insurance may not cover all or even part of these costs. Our actual costs to clean up these sites mayexceed our current estimates due to factors beyond our control, such as:
• the discovery of presently unknown conditions;• changes in environmental laws and regulations;• judicial rejection of our legal defenses to the third-party claims; or• the insolvency of other responsible parties at the sites at which we are involved.
Moreover, if we discover additional contaminated sites, we could be required to incur material costs, which would reduce our net income.
We also may be unable to timely respond to changes within the energy and utility sectors that may result from regulatory initiatives

to further increase competition within our industry. Such regulatory initiatives may create opportunities for additional competitors to enter our markets and, as aresult, we may be unable to maintain our revenues or continue to pursue our current business strategy.
Our profitability is subject to LPG pricing and inventory risk.
The retail LPG business is a “margin-based” business in which gross profits are dependent upon the excess of the sales price over the LPG supply costs. LPG is acommodity, and, as such, its unit price is subject to volatile fluctuations in response to changes in supply or other market conditions. We have no control over thesemarket conditions. Consequently, the unit price of the LPG that our subsidiaries and other marketers purchase can change rapidly over a short period of time. Mostof our domestic LPG product supply contracts permit suppliers to charge posted prices at the time of delivery or the current prices established at major U.S. storagepoints such as Mont Belvieu, Texas or Conway, Kansas. Most of our international LPG supply contracts are based on internationally quoted market prices.Because our subsidiaries’ profitability is sensitive to changes in wholesale propane supply costs, it will be adversely affected if we cannot pass on increases in thecost of propane to our customers. Due to competitive pricing in the industry, our subsidiaries may not fully be able to pass on product cost increases to ourcustomers when product costs rise, or when our competitors do not raise their product prices in a timely manner. Finally, market volatility may cause oursubsidiaries to sell LPG at less than the price at which they purchased it, which would adversely affect our operating results.
Economic recession, volatility in the stock market and the low interest rate environment may negatively impact our pension liability.
Economic recession, volatility in the stock market and the low interest rate environment have had a significant impact on our pension liability and funded status.Declines in the stock or bond market and valuation of stocks or bonds, combined with continued low interest rates, could further impact our pension liability andfunded status and increase the amount of required contributions to our pension plans.
The adoption of financial reform legislation by the United States Congress and related regulations may have an adverse effect on our ability to use derivativeinstruments to hedge risks associated with our business.
Congress adopted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Act”) in 2010, which contains comprehensive financial reform legislation.Our businesses are subject to Title VII of the Act, which imposes rules aimed at anti-market manipulation, and includes regulation on the over-the-counterderivatives market and entities that participate in that market. The Act requires the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the U.S. Securities andExchange Commission (“SEC”) and other regulators to implement the Act’s provisions. Most rules and regulations required to be issued by the CFTC under theAct have been finalized, but there are some additional rules and regulations that have yet to be adopted. It is possible that the rules and regulations under the Actmay increase our cost of using derivative instruments to hedge risks associated with our business or may reduce the availability of such instruments to protectagainst risks we encounter. While costs imposed directly on us due to regulatory requirements for derivatives under the Act, such as reporting recordkeeping andelecting the end-user exception from mandatory clearing, are relatively minor, increased costs may arise from clearing, trade execution, margin, capital, reporting,recordkeeping, compliance and business conduct requirements imposed upon our counterparties to the extent those costs are passed through to us. Position limitsalso may be imposed that could further limit our ability to hedge risks and may impose compliance and reporting obligations on us. To the extent new rules andregulations impose on our bank counterparties more collateral or margin for individual transactions, our available liquidity also may be adversely affected.Accordingly, our business and operating results may be adversely affected if, as a result of the Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Act, we areforced to reduce or modify our current use of derivatives.
Volatility in credit and capital markets may restrict our ability to grow, increase the likelihood of defaults by our customers and counterparties and adverselyaffect our operating results.
The volatility in credit and capital markets may create additional risks to our businesses in the future. We are exposed to financial market risk (includingrefinancing risk) resulting from, among other things, changes in interest rates and conditions in the credit and capital markets. Developments in the credit marketsduring the past few years increase our possible exposure to the liquidity, default and credit risks of our suppliers and vendors, counterparties associated withderivative financial instruments and our customers. Although we believe that current financial market conditions, if they were to continue for the foreseeablefuture, will not have a significant impact on our ability to fund our existing operations, such market conditions could restrict our ability to grow throughacquisitions, limit the scope of major capital projects if access to credit and capital markets is limited, or adversely affect our operating results.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitutefor, the comparable GAAP measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to investors about UGI’sperformance because they eliminate the impact of gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions andother discrete items that can affect the comparison of period-over-period results.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) discusses our results of operations and our financialcondition. MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Items 1 & 2, “Business and Properties,” our Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and our Consolidated FinancialStatements in Item 8 below including “Segment Information” included in Note 21 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Because most of our businesses sell or distribute energy products used in large part for heating purposes, our results are significantly influenced by temperatures inour service territories, particularly during the heating season months of October through March. As a result, our earnings, after adjusting for the effects of gains andlosses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current period transactions as further discussed below, are significantly higher in our first andsecond fiscal quarters.
UGI management uses “adjusted net income attributable to UGI Corporation” and “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” both of which are non-GAAP financialmeasures, when evaluating UGI’s overall performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to investors.Adjusted net income attributable to UGI Corporation excludes (1) net after-tax gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions and (2) other significant discrete items that management believes affect the comparison of period-over-period results (as such items are furtherdescribed below). UGI does not designate its commodity derivative instruments as hedges under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).Volatility in net income attributable to UGI Corporation as determined in accordance with GAAP can occur as a result of gains and losses on commodity derivativeinstruments not associated with current-period transactions. These gains and losses result principally from recording changes in unrealized gains and losses onunsettled commodity derivative instruments and, to a much lesser extent, certain realized gains and losses on settled commodity derivative instruments that are notassociated with current-period transactions. GAAP net income is affected by after-tax gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated withcurrent-period transactions, however, because these instruments economically hedge anticipated future purchases or sales of energy commodities, we expect thatsuch gains and losses will be largely offset by gains or losses on the anticipated future transactions when such derivative contracts are settled and the associatedenergy commodity is purchased or sold. For further information, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Effective October 1, 2015, we began presenting our Gas Utility and Electric Utility operating segments together as “UGI Utilities,” and our HVAC operatingsegment in our Energy Services operating segment. Previously, our Electric Utility and HVAC operating segments were included in Corporate & Other in oursegment presentation. Prior year amounts have been restated to reflect these changes (see Note 21 to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Executive Overview
Fiscal 2016 provided a very challenging operating environment for each of UGI’s businesses principally as a result of significantly warmer than normal weatherduring our peak heating season months. Our geographic diversity typically reduces the risk of extreme weather variations across the United States and ourEuropean LPG operations. However, Fiscal 2016 was unusual in that virtually all regions of the U.S. and our UGI International service territories in Europeexperienced temperatures that were significantly warmer than normal. Notwithstanding the strong headwinds created by this warm weather, UGI achieved Fiscal2016 adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share that were higher than in Fiscal 2015 and the highest in its history. This positive outcome was due in largepart to the full-year impact of the acquisition of French LPG distributor Finagaz, completed in May 2015, and strong LPG unit margins in Europe as a result ofrapidly falling LPG commodity prices early in Fiscal 2016 and effective margin management.
Our UGI International businesses experienced weather in Fiscal 2016 that was significantly warmer than normal but only slightly warmer than the weatherexperienced in Fiscal 2015. This warm weather continued to impact UGI International volumes but the full-year benefits from Finagaz and higher average LPGunit margins resulting from effective margin management and rapidly declining LPG commodity prices more than offset the volume impacts of the warmerweather.
In the U.S., heating-season weather in Fiscal 2016 was significantly warmer than normal and much warmer than in Fiscal 2015. The warmer weather negativelyimpacted all three of our major domestic business units. This warmer weather impacted each of AmeriGas Propane’s operating regions reducing volumes ofpropane sold to our core residential and commercial customers. We proactively responded to the volume effects of these warm weather conditions by successfullyexecuting on our warm weather plan which resulted in lower operating expenses. However, late in Fiscal 2016, AmeriGas Propane’s results were negativelyimpacted by an unfavorable ruling in a class action lawsuit, higher required reserves for general liability matters, and, to a lesser extent, the impact of significantlywarmer than normal September weather.
34
Table of Contents
Weather in our UGI Utilities and Midstream & Marketing businesses in Fiscal 2016 was also much warmer than normal and the prior year. During the secondquarter of Fiscal 2016, which is typically our highest earnings quarter, temperatures in our Pennsylvania-based Gas Utility were nearly 24% warmer than in Fiscal2015, and temperatures in our Midstream & Marketing businesses, which operate primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the U.S., wereapproximately 25% warmer than in Fiscal 2015. As a result, UGI Utilities’ core market volumes and total margin were significantly below our expectations andbelow the prior year. At our Midstream & Marketing businesses, the significantly warmer and less volatile heating-season weather reduced natural gas andelectricity marketing volumes and associated total margin. Midstream & Marketing also experienced significantly lower capacity management margin because themilder Fiscal 2016 winter weather conditions reduced price spreads between Marcellus and non-Marcellus locations.
Notwithstanding the strong earnings headwinds brought on by the warm weather, during Fiscal 2016 we made significant strategic and operational progress insupport of our long-term goals. At our UGI International business, we made substantial progress in the integration of the Finagaz cylinder and bulk businesses andanticipate additional synergistic activities in Fiscal 2017 as we continue to integrate the Finagaz business and our legacy LPG distribution business in France.During Fiscal 2016, we also began building a core UGI International organization with common executive oversight and aligned business practices. Our Europeanpresence and operational density continued to increase in Fiscal 2016 with the completion of smaller strategic acquisitions in Norway, the United Kingdom andAustria.
Domestically, our UGI Utilities business continues to grow as customer demand for natural gas remains strong across both the residential and commercialcustomer segments notwithstanding declines in oil prices during Fiscal 2016 which had the effect of lowering our expected oil to natural gas conversion activity. Inaddition to increasing the number of its customers, our Gas Utility executed on its infrastructure replacement and system betterment program with record capitalexpenditures. In January 2016, our UGI Gas unit filed for its first base rate increase in over 21 years which resulted in a $27 million increase in annual base raterevenues. This increase went into effect in October 2016 and we will see the benefit of this rate increase in Fiscal 2017. Our Midstream & Marketing businessesmade significant progress on several key Marcellus Shale projects including expansion of our LNG liquefaction capacity and the commencement of constructionon a pipeline project to serve a natural gas fueled, combined cycle power plant located in central Pennsylvania. We continue to make progress on our PennEastPipeline project with FERC issuing a draft Environmental Impact Statement. These and other smaller midstream projects are expected to serve the growingdemand across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions for abundant, low-cost Marcellus Shale natural gas. AmeriGas Partners continued to expand its NationalAccounts and AmeriGas Cylinder Exchange programs in Fiscal 2016 and continued to make meaningful progress in using technology to improve the customerexperience.
Fiscal 2016 Results
We recorded GAAP net income attributable to UGI Corporation for Fiscal 2016 of $364.7 million, equal to $2.08 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net incomeattributable to UGI Corporation for Fiscal 2015 of $281.0 million, equal to $1.60 per diluted share. GAAP net income attributable to UGI Corporation in Fiscal2016 includes after-tax gains on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions of $29.9 million (equal to $0.17 per dilutedshare) compared to after-tax losses in Fiscal 2015 of $53.3 million (equal to $0.30 per diluted share). GAAP net income attributable to UGI Corporation in Fiscal2016 and Fiscal 2015 also reflect integration and acquisition expenses associated with Finagaz which decreased net income attributable to UGI Corporation by$17.3 million (equal to $0.10 per diluted share) and $14.9 million (equal to $0.08 per diluted share), respectively. Our GAAP net income attributable to UGICorporation in Fiscal 2016 also includes an after-tax loss on extinguishments of debt at AmeriGas Partners of $7.9 million (equal to $0.04 per diluted share) whileGAAP net income in Fiscal 2015 includes after-tax costs associated with an extinguishment of debt at Antargaz of $4.6 million (equal to $0.03 per diluted share).
Adjusted net income attributable to UGI (which excludes the effects of the items noted above) was $360.0 million (equal to $2.05 per diluted share) in Fiscal 2016compared to $353.8 million (equal to $2.01 per diluted share) in Fiscal 2015. Our Fiscal 2016 results benefited from the full-year operations of Finagaz, which weacquired on May 29, 2015. Fiscal 2016 adjusted net income attributable to UGI Corporation principally reflects a $56.7 million increase in adjusted net incomefrom UGI International. The significant increase in adjusted net income from UGI International was offset by (1) a $23.7 million decrease in adjusted net incomefrom UGI Utilities; (2) a $20.4 million decrease in adjusted net income from Midstream & Marketing; and (3) a $9.9 million decrease in adjusted net income fromAmeriGas Propane. During Fiscal 2016, each of our U.S. businesses and our UGI International European businesses were negatively impacted by significantlywarmer-than-normal temperatures that reduced heating-related demand for our energy commodities primarily during the winter heating season. At UGIInternational and AmeriGas Propane, higher average retail LPG unit margins, resulting from declining LPG wholesale commodity prices and effective unit marginmanagement, and lower legacy business operating expenses, partially offset the impact of the warmer weather. Midstream & Marketing and UGI Utilities resultsalso benefited from lower operating and administrative expenses.

Although the euro and the British pound sterling were slightly weaker during 2016, the effects of these weaker currencies did not have a material impact on UGIInternational net income for Fiscal 2016, and did not negatively impact year-over-year net income for Fiscal 2016 due to higher gains on foreign currencyexchange contracts used to hedge a portion of U.S. dollar purchases of LPG.
During Fiscal 2016, we completed a number of long-term refinancing transactions at AmeriGas Propane, UGI Utilities and UGI International. These transactionsreduced our cost of long-term debt and extended the maturities. We believe each of our business units has sufficient liquidity in the form of revolving creditfacilities and, with respect to Energy Services, also an accounts receivable securitization facility, to fund business operations during Fiscal 2017 (see “FinancialCondition and Liquidity” below).
Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Adjusted Net Income Attributable to UGI and Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share
As previously mentioned, UGI management uses “adjusted net income attributable to UGI Corporation” and “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” both of whichare non-GAAP financial measures, when evaluating UGI’s overall performance. Adjusted net income attributable to UGI Corporation is net income attributable toUGI after excluding net after-tax gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions (principally comprisingchanges in unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments), losses on extinguishments of debt, Finagaz integration and acquisition expenses and,in Fiscal 2014, the impact of a retroactive change in French tax law. For further information on the Company’s accounting for commodity derivative instruments,see Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, thecomparable GAAP measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to investors about UGI’s performancebecause they eliminate the impact of gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions and other discrete itemsthat can affect the comparison of period-over-period results.
The following tables reconcile net income attributable to UGI Corporation, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted net income attributable toUGI Corporation, and reconcile diluted earnings per share, the most comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted diluted earnings per share, to reflect the adjustmentsreferred to above. In the tables below, we refer to our two international LGP reportable segments together as “UGI International,” and our Energy Services andElectric Generation reportable segments together as “Midstream & Marketing” (see Notes 1 and 21 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Fiscal 2016 Highlights
• Fiscal 2016 results at each of our business units was negatively impacted by temperatures that were significantly warmer than normal and, withrespect to UGI’s domestic business units, significantly warmer than in Fiscal 2015.
• UGI International Fiscal 2016 net income (excluding the impacts of integration and acquisition expenses associated with Finagaz in Fiscal 2016 andFiscal 2015 and the impact of costs associated with an extinguishment of debt in Fiscal 2015) improved significantly reflecting in large part the full-year operations of Finagaz which was acquired in May 2015 and higher average unit margins.
• Midstream & Marketing Fiscal 2016 results were negatively affected by the warmer weather in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. and the impact oflower prices for capacity management as the milder weather reduced capacity spreads between Marcellus and non-Marcellus locations. Thesedecreases in margin were partially offset by slightly higher income from our natural gas gathering and peaking contracts.
• Notwithstanding the impact on AmeriGas Propane of the significantly warmer Fiscal 2016 heating-season weather, the Partnership benefited from a$24.5 million reduction in operating and administrative costs as a result of successful execution of its warm weather plan.
• Although the euro and the British pound sterling were slightly weaker during 2016, the effects of these weaker currencies did not have a materialimpact on UGI International net income, and did not negatively impact year-over-year net income for Fiscal 2016 due to higher gains on foreigncurrency exchange contracts used to hedge a portion of U.S. dollar purchases of LPG.
• Notwithstanding a decline in total margin as a result of significantly warmer weather, UGI Utilities benefited from lower operating andadministrative expenses in Fiscal 2016.

(a) Total margin represents total revenues less total cost of sales. Total margin for Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015 excludes net pre-tax gains (losses) of $66.1 millionand $(47.8) million, respectively, on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions.
(b) Partnership Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (as an indicator of operating performance) and is not a measure ofperformance or financial condition under GAAP. Management uses Partnership Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of segment profitability for theAmeriGas Propane segment (see Note 21 to Consolidated Financial Statements).
(c) Deviation from average heating degree days for the 30-year period 1981-2010 based upon national weather statistics provided by NOAA for 344 Geo regionsin the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
AmeriGas Propane’s retail gallons sold during Fiscal 2016 decreased 10.0% compared with Fiscal 2015. The decline in retail gallons sold principally reflectsaverage temperatures based upon heating degree days that were 15.0% warmer than normal and 12.5% warmer than in Fiscal 2015.
Retail propane revenues decreased $546.9 million during Fiscal 2016 reflecting lower average retail selling prices ($289.0 million), principally the result of lowerpropane product costs, and the effects of the lower retail volumes sold ($257.9 million). Wholesale propane revenues decreased $12.4 million during Fiscal 2016reflecting the effects of lower wholesale selling prices ($8.8 million) and lower wholesale volumes sold ($3.6 million). Average daily wholesale propanecommodity prices during Fiscal 2016 at Mont Belvieu, Texas, one of the major supply points in the U.S., were approximately 18% lower than such prices duringFiscal 2015. Other revenues in Fiscal 2016 were $14.2 million lower than in the prior year principally reflecting lower fee income. Total cost of sales decreased$475.2 million during Fiscal 2016 principally reflecting the effects on propane cost of sales of the significantly lower average propane product costs ($342.2million) and the effects of the lower retail and wholesale volumes sold ($125.2 million).
AmeriGas Propane total margin decreased $98.3 million in Fiscal 2016 principally reflecting lower retail propane total margin ($91.9 million) and, to a much lesserextent, lower margin from ancillary sales and services. The decrease in retail propane total margin largely reflects the previously mentioned decline in retail gallonssold partially offset by higher average propane retail unit margin principally resulting from the benefits of declining wholesale propane commodity prices.
Partnership Adjusted EBITDA in Fiscal 2016 decreased $76.2 million principally reflecting the lower total margin of $98.3 million partially offset by lowerPartnership operating and administrative expenses ( $24.5 million ). The decrease in operating and administrative expenses reflects, among other things, lowervehicle fuel ($13.4 million), employee compensation and benefits ($21.7 million), and uncollectible accounts ($4.6 million) expenses. Partially offsetting thesedecreases in operating and administrative expenses were higher expenses associated with uninsured litigation matters ($17.9 million). AmeriGas Propane operatingincome decreased $71.3 million in Fiscal 2016 principally reflecting the lower Partnership Adjusted EBITDA ( $76.2 million ) partially offset by slightly lowerdepreciation expense.

(a) Total margin represents total revenues less total cost of sales. Total margin for Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015 excludes net pre-tax gains (losses) of $31.8 millionand $(28.4) million on UGI International’s commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions, respectively.
(b) Includes Finagaz integration and acquisition-related expenses in Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015 of $27.9 million and $22.6 million, respectively.(c) Fiscal 2015 income before income taxes is net of $10.3 million of costs associated with an extinguishment of debt at Antargaz which are reflected in interest
expense.(d) Excludes retail gallons from operations in China, which was sold in March 2016.(e) Deviation from average heating degree days for the 30-year period 1981-2010 at locations in our UGI France and Flaga service territories.
UGI International’s Fiscal 2016 results include the full-year results of Finagaz which was acquired on May 29, 2015. The acquisition of Finagaz nearly doubledour retail distribution business in France and is a significant contributor to the variances in the table above.
Based upon heating degree day data, temperatures during Fiscal 2016 were significantly warmer than normal and slightly warmer than in Fiscal 2015. Total retailgallons sold during Fiscal 2016 were significantly higher, notwithstanding the warmer weather, principally reflecting incremental retail LPG gallons associatedwith Finagaz and, to a much lesser extent, retail gallons associated with small-scale acquisitions at Flaga and AvantiGas. Partially offsetting these increases was theimpact on retail volumes of exiting the low-margin autogas business in Poland (69.4 million gallons). During Fiscal 2016, average wholesale commodity prices forboth propane and butane in northwest Europe were approximately 20% lower than during Fiscal 2015. Much of the lower wholesale commodity cost occurredduring the early part of Fiscal 2016.
UGI International base-currency results are translated into U.S. dollars based upon exchange rates experienced during the reporting periods. The functionalcurrency of a significant portion of our UGI International results is the euro and, to a much lesser extent, the British pound sterling. During Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal2015, the average un-weighted euro-to-dollar translation rates were approximately $1.11 and $1.15, respectively, and the average unweighted British poundsterling-to-dollar translation rates were approximately $1.42 and $1.55, respectively. Although the euro and the British pound sterling were weaker during Fiscal2016 and affect the comparisons of amounts in the table above, these weaker currencies did not negatively impact UGI International net income due to higher gainson foreign currency exchange contracts used to hedge a portion of U.S. dollar purchases of LPG.
UGI International revenues increased $60.3 million during Fiscal 2016 principally reflecting incremental revenues from Finagaz and, to a much lesser extent,incremental revenues associated with the small-scale acquisitions at Flaga and AvantiGas. These increases in revenues were substantially offset by lower averageLPG selling prices at each of our legacy European LPG businesses and, to a lesser extent, the impact of exiting the low-margin autogas business in Poland and theeffects of the weaker euro and the British pound sterling. The lower average LPG sales prices in Fiscal 2016 resulted from lower average LPG wholesalecommodity prices. UGI International cost of sales decreased $216.2 million during Fiscal 2016 principally reflecting the effects of lower average LPG wholesalecommodity prices and, to a much lesser extent, the absence of certain low-margin autogas volumes at Flaga, the effects of the weaker euro and the British poundsterling, and higher gains from foreign currency exchange contracts used to hedge a portion of U.S. dollar purchases of LPG. These decreases in cost of sales werepartially offset by incremental cost of sales associated with Finagaz.
UGI International total margin increased $276.5 million primarily reflecting incremental local-currency margin from the full-year results of Finagaz and, to a muchlesser extent, higher average unit margins at our legacy UGI France and Flaga businesses and

the impact of the small-scale acquisitions at Flaga and AvantiGas. The higher average unit margins at our legacy UGI France and Flaga businesses reflect thebenefits of declining LPG wholesale commodity costs and effective margin management. The impact of the slightly higher local currency total margin at ourlegacy UGI France and Flaga businesses was partially offset by the effects on such margin of the weaker euro and the British pound sterling.
The $93.8 million increase in UGI International operating income principally reflects the previously mentioned $276.5 million increase in total margin partiallyoffset by a $146.0 million increase in operating and administrative expenses, a $25.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, and, to a muchlesser extent, lower other operating income. The higher operating and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expense primarily reflectsincremental expenses associated with Finagaz and, to a much lesser extent, small-scale acquisitions at Flaga and AvantiGas partially offset by the translationeffects of the weaker euro and British pound sterling. Operating and administrative costs include $27.9 million and $22.6 million of Finagaz integration andacquisition-related expenses in Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015, respectively. UGI International income before income taxes increased $105.6 million principallyreflecting the previously mentioned $93.8 million increase in UGI International operating income and the absence of $10.3 million in costs recorded in the prioryear associated with an extinguishment of debt at Antargaz which are reflected in interest expense. Excluding these costs, UGI International interest expense inFiscal 2016 was slightly lower as higher average long-term debt outstanding at UGI France resulting from the acquisition of Finagaz was more than offset by loweraverage interest rates on UGI International’s long-term debt and the translation effects of the weaker euro.
Midstream & Marketing 2016 2015 Decrease(Dollars in millions) Revenues (a) $ 866.6 $ 1,163.6 $ (297.0) (25.5)%Total margin (b) $ 264.4 $ 309.0 $ (44.6) (14.4)%Operating and administrative expenses $ 90.9 $ 98.6 $ (7.7) (7.8)%Operating income $ 146.7 $ 182.6 $ (35.9) (19.7)%Income before income taxes $ 144.6 $ 180.5 $ (35.9) (19.9)%(a) Amounts are net of intercompany revenues between Midstream & Marketing’s Energy Services, Electric Generation and HVAC businesses.(b) Total margin represents total revenues less total cost of sales. Amounts exclude net pre-tax losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with
current-period transactions of $6.3 million and $42.9 million during Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015, respectively.
Midstream & Marketing’s Fiscal 2016 results were negatively impacted by significantly warmer weather in its principal Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S. serviceterritory. Temperatures across Midstream & Marketing’s energy marketing territory were approximately 17.8% warmer than normal in Fiscal 2016 compared totemperatures that were 4.5% colder than normal in Fiscal 2015. Midstream & Marketing’s Fiscal 2016 revenues were $297.0 million lower than in Fiscal 2015principally reflecting lower natural gas revenues ($240.0 million), lower capacity management revenues ($41.7 million), lower retail power revenues ($19.5million) and, to a lesser extent, lower Electric Generation and HVAC revenues. These decreases in revenues were partially offset by higher combined peaking andnatural gas gathering revenues ($27.8 million). The significant decrease in natural gas revenues reflects lower wholesale and retail natural gas prices during Fiscal2016 and, to a lesser extent, lower natural gas volumes resulting from the warmer weather. The lower retail power revenues principally reflect lower weather-related sales volumes and lower retail power prices. The decline in capacity management revenues reflects lower average prices for capacity as Fiscal 2016experienced lower locational basis differences due to less volatility in capacity values between Marcellus and non-Marcellus delivery points. The decline inElectric Generation revenues reflects lower average electricity prices and lower electricity production volumes during Fiscal 2016, due in large part to the effects ofthe warmer winter weather and the impact of planned outages, while the decline in HVAC revenues principally reflects lower activity. The decrease in Midstream& Marketing cost of sales principally reflects lower natural gas cost of sales ($227.8 million) reflecting lower natural gas prices, lower cost of sales associated withthe decline in retail power sales ($17.8 million) and, to a lesser extent, lower Electric Generation and HVAC cost of sales.
Midstream & Marketing total margin decreased $44.6 million in Fiscal 2016 principally reflecting lower capacity management total margin ($41.7 million), lowernatural gas and retail power total margin ($14.9 million), lower Electric Generation total margin ($9.4 million) and lower HVAC total margin. These decreases inmargin were partially offset by slightly higher combined natural gas gathering and peaking total margin ($27.5 million) reflecting the expansion of our natural gasgathering assets and higher demand for peaking services. As previously mentioned, the lower capacity management margin in Fiscal 2016 reflects lower averageprices for capacity as a result of lower locational basis differences in capacity values between Marcellus and non-Marcellus delivery points. The decline in naturalgas marketing total margin principally reflects the effects of lower average unit margins and lower volumes sold due to the warmer weather. The decline in ElectricGeneration total margin reflects lower average electricity prices and lower electricity production volumes.

Midstream & Marketing operating income and income before income taxes during Fiscal 2016 each decreased $35.9 million principally reflecting the previouslymentioned decrease in total margin ( $44.6 million ) partially offset by slightly lower operating and administrative expenses and higher other operating income.Operating and administrative expenses were slightly lower in Fiscal 2016 due in large part to lower operating expenses in the HVAC business ($5.0 million) onlower activity and greater costs in the prior year associated with our electricity generation facilities. Depreciation expense was slightly higher in Fiscal 2016principally reflecting incremental depreciation expense associated with our natural gas gathering assets and the Conemaugh electricity generating unit.

Temperatures in Gas Utility’s service territory during Fiscal 2016 based upon heating degree days were 13.6% warmer than normal and 17.8% warmer than Fiscal2015. In particular, Gas Utility temperatures in the critical heating-season month of December were 37% warmer than normal. Gas Utility core market volumesdeclined 15.1 bcf (18.6%) reflecting the effects of the significantly warmer weather. Total Gas Utility Fiscal 2016 distribution system throughput was about equalto Fiscal 2015 as the lower core market volumes were substantially offset by higher large firm delivery service volumes. Gas Utility’s core market customerscomprise firm- residential, commercial and industrial (“retail core-market”) customers who purchase their gas from Gas Utility and, to a much lesser extent,residential and small commercial customers who purchase their gas from others. Electric Utility kilowatt-hour sales were 4.8% lower than in the prior yearprincipally reflecting the impact of the warmer weather on heating-related sales.
UGI Utilities revenues decreased $273.1 million principally reflecting a $255.7 million decrease in Gas Utility revenues and a $16.5 million decrease in ElectricUtility revenues. The lower Gas Utility revenues principally reflect a decrease in core market revenues ($203.1 million) and lower off-system sales revenues ($51.4million). The $203.1 million decrease in Fiscal 2016 Gas Utility core market revenues reflects the effects of the lower core market throughput ($135.4 million) andlower average PGC rates ($67.7 million). The lower Electric Utility revenues principally resulted from lower DS rates ($8.0 million), lower sales volumes ($5.4million) and lower transmission revenue ($2.6 million). Because Gas Utility and Electric Utility are subject to reconcilable PGC and DS recovery mechanisms,increases or decreases in the actual cost of gas or electricity associated with customers who purchase their gas or electricity from UGI Utilities impact revenues andcost of sales but have no direct effect on retail core-market margin (see Note 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these recoverymechanisms). UGI Utilities cost of sales was $289.8 million in Fiscal 2016 compared with $510.8 million in Fiscal 2015 principally reflecting the combined effectsof the lower average Gas Utility PGC rates ($92.3 million), lower cost of sales associated with Gas Utility off-system sales ($51.4 million) and lower Gas Utilityretail core-market volumes sold ($67.5 million). Electric Utility cost of sales was $11.5 million lower reflecting the lower DS rates ($8.5 million) and the lowervolumes sold.
UGI Utilities Fiscal 2016 total margin decreased $51.3 million principally reflecting lower Gas Utility total margin from core market customers ($43.3 million).The decrease in Gas Utility core market margin reflects the lower core market throughput.

Electric Utility total margin decreased $4.2 million principally reflecting the lower volume sales as a result of the warmer Fiscal 2016 weather and the lowertransmission revenue.
UGI Utilities operating income and income before income taxes decreased $40.8 million and $37.3 million, respectively. The decreases in operating income andincome before income taxes principally reflects the decrease in total margin ($51.3 million), higher depreciation expense ($4.4 million) and lower other operatingincome ($10.9 million) which includes, among other things, higher environmental matters expense ($4.1 million), lower margin from off-system sales ($2.2million), lower revenue from construction services ($2.1 million) and higher interest on PGC overcollections ($1.1 million). These were partially offset byoperating and administrative expenses that were $25.6 million lower than the prior year primarily reflecting lower net preliminary development stage expensesassociated with an information technology (“IT”) project ($8.6 million), including the year-over-year impact of the current year capitalization of $5.4 million ofsuch IT costs expensed in prior years (see Note 6 to Consolidated Financial Statements), and, to a lesser extent, lower uncollectible accounts ($5.7 million), systemmaintenance expenses ($4.8 million) and employee benefits ($4.7 million). The decrease in income before income taxes also reflects lower interest expenseprincipally due to lower average long-term debt outstanding and lower average interest rates.
Interest Expense. Our consolidated interest expense during Fiscal 2016 was $227.8 million, $14.1 million lower than the $241.9 million of interest expenserecorded during Fiscal 2015. Interest expense in Fiscal 2015 includes $10.3 million of costs associated with an extinguishment of debt at Antargaz. Excluding theimpact of these debt extinguishment costs, consolidated interest expense was $3.8 million lower principally reflecting UGI Utilities’ lower average long-term debtoutstanding and lower average interest rates. Notwithstanding higher average long-term debt outstanding at UGI International in Fiscal 2016 resulting from theMay 2015 acquisition of Finagaz, UGI International interest expense, excluding the impact of the debt extinguishment costs, was about equal to Fiscal 2015reflecting lower average interest rates.
Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate as a percentage of pre-tax income for Fiscal 2016 (excluding the effects on such rate of pre-tax income associatedwith noncontrolling interests not subject to federal income taxes) was 37.8%, slightly below the 38.8% rate in Fiscal 2015. The lower effective tax rate in Fiscal2016 includes, among other things, the elimination of certain deferred tax valuation allowances associated with state loss carryforwards.

• Fiscal 2015 UGI International local currency operating results (excluding acquisition and transition expenses associated with Finagaz) improvedreflecting higher average unit margins resulting from a significant decline in LPG commodity prices.
• Midstream & Marketing benefited from colder than normal Fiscal 2015 winter weather in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the UnitedStates, which resulted in continued high demand for natural gas and continued high prices for pipeline capacity.
• Notwithstanding Fiscal 2015 weather that was warmer than Fiscal 2014, Gas Utility core market throughput was slightly higher reflecting recentgrowth in the number of core market customers. Slightly higher Gas Utility total margin was more than offset by higher operating, administrative anddepreciation expenses.
• AmeriGas Propane retail volumes were lower in Fiscal 2015 reflecting, in large part, significantly warmer than normal weather in the western U.S.
• The average euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate was $1.15 in Fiscal 2015 compared to $1.36 in Fiscal 2014. The effects of the weaker euro, and to alesser extent the British pound sterling, on UGI International net income was offset, in large part, by gains on foreign currency exchange contracts.

(a) Total margin represents total revenues less total cost of sales. Total margin for Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 excludes net pre-tax losses of $47.8 million and$9.5 million, respectively, on AmeriGas Propane commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions.
(b) Partnership Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (as an indicator of operating performance) and is not a measure ofperformance or financial condition under GAAP. Management uses Partnership Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of segment profitability for theAmeriGas Propane segment (see Note 21 to Consolidated Financial Statements).
(c) Deviation from average heating degree days for the 30-year period 1981-2010 based upon national weather statistics provided by NOAA for 344 Geo regionsin the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
AmeriGas Propane’s retail gallons sold during Fiscal 2015 decreased 7.2%. The decline in retail gallons sold in Fiscal 2015 principally reflects averagetemperatures based upon heating degree days that were 2.9% warmer than normal and 8.5% warmer than in Fiscal 2014 principally reflecting significantly warmerthan normal weather in the western U.S.
Retail propane revenues decreased $ 736.9 million during Fiscal 2015 reflecting lower average retail selling prices ($500.2 million), principally the result of thelower propane product costs, and the effects of lower retail volumes sold ($236.7 million). Wholesale propane revenues decreased $91.5 million during Fiscal 2015reflecting the effects of lower wholesale volumes sold ($55.6 million) and lower wholesale selling prices ($35.9 million). Average daily wholesale propanecommodity prices during Fiscal 2015 at Mont Belvieu, Texas were more than 50% lower than such prices during Fiscal 2014. Revenues from fee income and otherancillary sales and services in Fiscal 2015 were slightly higher than in Fiscal 2014. Total cost of sales decreased $767.1 million principally reflecting a decline inpropane cost of sales. Total propane cost of sales during Fiscal 2015 decreased $771.8 million principally reflecting the effects of the significantly lower averagepropane product costs ($582.4 million) and the effects on propane cost of sales of the lower retail and wholesale volumes sold ($189.4 million).
Total margin decreased $60.5 million in Fiscal 2015 principally reflecting lower retail propane total margin ($53.8 million) and, to a much lesser extent, lowermargin from wholesale sales and ancillary sales and services. The decrease in retail propane total margin largely reflects the previously mentioned decline in retailgallons sold partially offset by higher average propane retail unit margins.

Partnership Adjusted EBITDA in Fiscal 2015 decreased $45.6 million principally reflecting the lower total margin ($60.5 million) offset in part by lower operatingand administrative expenses ($10.7 million) and higher other operating income ($3.9 million) resulting, in large part, from sales of excess assets. The decrease inoperating and administrative expenses reflects, among other things, lower vehicle expenses ($18.3 million), principally reflecting lower vehicle fuel expenses, andlower uncollectible accounts expense ($10.6 million) partially offset by, among other things, higher insurance and self-insured casualty and liability expenses.AmeriGas Propane operating income decreased $44.4 million principally reflecting the lower Partnership Adjusted EBITDA ($45.6 million) partially offset bylower depreciation expense.

UGI International results include the results of Finagaz subsequent to its acquisition on May 29, 2015. Based upon heating degree day data, temperatures duringFiscal 2015 in our UGI International European LPG territories were significantly warmer than normal but slightly colder than in Fiscal 2014. Total retail gallonssold during Fiscal 2015 were higher than Fiscal 2014 reflecting in large part incremental retail gallons from Finagaz for the period subsequent to its acquisition.During Fiscal 2015, average wholesale commodity prices for propane and butane in northwest Europe were more than 40% lower than in Fiscal 2014.
UGI International local currency results are translated into U.S. dollars based upon exchange rates experienced during the reporting periods. The functionalcurrency of a significant portion of our UGI International results is the euro. During Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014, the average un-weighted euro-to-U.S. dollartranslation rates were approximately $1.15 and $1.36, respectively. The significantly lower euro-to-U.S. dollar translation rates and, to a lesser extent, the lowerBritish pound sterling-to-U.S. dollar translation rates, reduced UGI International net income but this decrease was offset, in large part, by gains from foreigncurrency exchange contracts during Fiscal 2015.
UGI International revenues decreased $513.9 million during Fiscal 2015 principally reflecting the combined impact on revenues of the significantly weaker euroand, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling ($298.2 million), and the effects of lower average LPG sales prices at each of our European LPG businesses. Thelower average LPG sales prices reflect the previously mentioned significant decline in commodity LPG prices. These decreases in revenues were partially offset bythe effects on revenues from the higher retail LPG volumes sold and higher revenues from increased natural gas marketing volumes at UGI France. UGIInternational cost of sales decreased $538.0 million during Fiscal 2015 principally reflecting the lower average LPG wholesale prices during Fiscal 2015 and theeffects of the significantly weaker euro and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling ($177.2 million) partially offset by the effects on cost of sales from thehigher UGI International retail LPG volumes sold and increased natural gas marketing volumes at UGI France.
UGI International total margin increased $24.1 million in Fiscal 2015 as incremental margin from Finagaz for the period subsequent to its acquisition on May 29,2015, and slightly higher local currency total margin at AvantiGas and UGI France’s legacy operations, was offset in large part by the translation effects on localcurrency total margin of the significantly weaker euro and, to a lesser

extent, the British pound sterling. U.S. dollar-denominated total margin at UGI France increased $46.7 million principally reflecting incremental margin fromFinagaz ($78.0 million) partially offset by the effects of the weaker euro on UGI France’s legacy operations gross margin. Total U.S. dollar-denominated marginfrom AvantiGas increased $4.4 million from higher local currency margin while total U.S. dollar-denominated margin from Flaga declined principally reflectingthe impact of the weaker euro in Fiscal 2015 and slightly lower average retail unit margins. Local currency average retail unit margins were higher at UGI Franceand AvantiGas principally reflecting the effects of the lower LPG commodity prices. Local currency retail unit margins at Flaga were slightly lower reflecting inpart the negative effects from the time lag of supply in certain of Flaga’s eastern European service territories caused by rapidly falling LPG prices early in Fiscal2015, and the effects of the rapidly falling euro on U.S. dollar-denominated supply hedges.
The $4.7 million decrease in UGI International operating income reflects the $24.1 million increase in total margin offset by a $23.5 million increase in operatingand administrative expenses and a $5.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense. The increase in these expenses principally reflects incrementalFinagaz operating, administrative and depreciation expenses subsequent to its acquisition on May 29, 2015, and $22.6 million of Finagaz acquisition and transitionexpenses compared with $6.5 million of Finagaz acquisition-related expenses in Fiscal 2014. The effects of these increases in operating, administrative anddepreciation expenses associated with Finagaz were partially offset by the translation effects of the weaker euro and British pound sterling on such expenses of ourlegacy European LPG operations.
UGI International income before income taxes decreased $11.0 million principally reflecting the $4.7 million decrease in operating income and a $5.2 millionincrease in interest expense. In May 2015, France SAS borrowed €600 million under its Senior Facilities Agreement with a consortium of banks (the “2015 SeniorFacilities Agreement”), the proceeds of which were used to prepay €342 million principal amount, plus accrued interest, outstanding under Antargaz’ 2011 SeniorFacilities Agreement due March 2016 (the “2011 Senior Facilities Agreement”) and to fund a portion of the cash purchase price of Finagaz. UGI Internationalinterest expense in Fiscal 2015 includes $10.3 million of pre-tax costs resulting from extinguishments of term loan debt under the 2011 Senior FacilitiesAgreement. Excluding the effects of this pre-tax cost of $10.3 million, UGI International interest expense declined $5.1 million as incremental interest expenseassociated with the higher principal amount outstanding under the 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement was more than offset by the translation effects of the weakereuro and a lower effective interest rate on the 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement term loan compared with the 2011 Senior Facilities Agreement term loan.

Amounts exclude net pre-tax losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with
current-period transactions of $42.9 million and $8.5 million during Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014, respectively.
Midstream & Marketing Fiscal 2015 total revenues were $282.7 million lower than Fiscal 2014 principally reflecting lower natural gas ($202.0 million), retailpower ($44.9 million), HVAC ($18.4 million), and peaking ($12.2 million) revenues and to a lesser extent lower Electric Generation revenues. These decreaseswere partially offset by higher natural gas gathering revenues. The decrease in natural gas revenues principally reflects lower wholesale and retail natural gas pricesduring Fiscal 2015. The lower retail power revenues principally reflect lower sales volumes and, to a lesser extent, lower average prices. The lower HVACrevenues reflect lower activity. In addition to these decreases, Fiscal 2015 total capacity management revenues were slightly below Fiscal 2014. In Fiscal 2015,Energy Services capacity management revenues continued to benefit from significant locational basis differences between Marcellus and non-Marcellus deliverypoints although not as extreme as the differences experienced during the volatile temperature conditions experienced in January and February 2014. Midstream &Marketing cost of sales were lower in Fiscal 2015 than in Fiscal 2014 principally reflecting lower natural gas ($194.8 million), retail power ($52.4 million) and, toa much lesser extent, HVAC and Electric Generation cost of sales.
Midstream & Marketing total margin decreased $14.9 million in Fiscal 2015 principally reflecting lower natural gas marketing total margin ($7.1 million), lowerpeaking total margin ($4.4 million), lower capacity management total margin ($4.1 million) and

slightly lower Electric Generation and HVAC total margin. These declines were partially offset by higher total margin from retail power ($7.5 million) and highernatural gas gathering total margin ($3.5 million). The decline in natural gas marketing total margin principally reflects the effects of lower average unit margins.The lower peaking total margin principally reflects lower Fiscal 2015 natural gas prices. The higher retail power total margin reflects the effects of higher unitmargins while the increase in natural gas gathering total margin reflects incremental margin from the expansion of our natural gas gathering system in theMarcellus Shale region of northern Pennsylvania.
Midstream & Marketing operating income and income before income taxes during Fiscal 2015 decreased $14.2 million and $13.4 million , respectively. Thedecreases principally reflecting the previously mentioned decrease in total margin ( $14.9 million ) and higher depreciation expense associated with storage andnatural gas gathering assets and the Conemaugh generating unit partially offset by lower total operating and administrative expenses reflecting lower HVACoperating and administrative expenses ($6.7 million).

Temperatures in Gas Utility’s service territory in Fiscal 2015 based upon heating degree days were 6.4% colder than normal but 3.7% warmer than in Fiscal 2014.Total Gas Utility distribution system throughput increased 4.7 bcf, notwithstanding the warmer weather, principally reflecting higher large firm delivery servicevolumes and slightly higher core market volumes reflecting, in large part, a 1.9% year-over-year increase in the number of core market customers. Electric Utilitykilowatt-hour sales were 2.3% higher than in the prior year as lower heating-related sales were more than offset by the effects of a warmer Fiscal 2015 summer onair-conditioning sales.
UGI Utilities revenues decreased $45.3 million principally reflecting a $44.2 million decrease in Gas Utility revenues. The decrease in Gas Utility revenuesprincipally reflects lower revenues from off-system sales ($31.8 million) and lower revenues from core market customers ($7.6 million). The decrease in coremarket revenues principally reflects the effects of lower average PGC rates during Fiscal 2015 partially offset by the slightly higher core market throughput. UGIUtilities’ cost of sales was $510.8 million in Fiscal 2015 compared with $562.9 million in Fiscal 2014 principally reflecting the effects of the lower off-systemsales ($31.8 million) and the effects on retail core-market cost of sales of the lower average PGC rates partially offset by slightly higher core market throughput onGas Utility cost of sales. Electric Utility cost of sales decreased $4.0 million in Fiscal 2015 principally reflecting the effects of lower average DS rates.
UGI Utilities Fiscal 2015 total margin increased $7.0 million principally reflecting higher Gas Utility core market total margin ($4.0 million) on the higher coremarket sales and higher large firm delivery service total margin ($5.7 million). These increases were partially offset principally by lower margin from Gas Utilityinterruptible customers ($7.0 million). Electric Utility total margin increased $3.8 million principally reflecting an increase in transmission revenue.

UGI Utilities operating income and income before income taxes during Fiscal 2015 decreased $4.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively. A $9.7 million decreasein Gas Utility operating income, notwithstanding the $4.0 million increase in total margin, principally reflects higher operating and administrative expenses andhigher depreciation expense partially offset by an increase in other operating income. Gas Utility Fiscal 2015 operating and administrative expenses were higherthan in Fiscal 2014 principally reflecting, among other things, higher Gas Utility Fiscal 2015 distribution system expenses ($4.8 million), and higher Gas Utilityemployee benefits, uncollectible accounts and other general administrative expenses. Gas Utility depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.2 millionreflecting the effects of greater distribution system capital expenditures. Gas Utility other operating income increased $3.4 million reflecting, among other things,incremental income from Gas Utility construction services. Electric Utility Fiscal 2015 operating income increased $4.5 million reflecting the higher ElectricUtility total margin ($3.8 million) and lower distribution and uncollectible accounts expense. The $7.3 million decrease in UGI Utilities income before incometaxes reflects the lower operating income ($4.7 million) and higher long-term debt interest expense.
Interest Expense. Our consolidated interest expense during Fiscal 2015 was $241.9 million, slightly higher than the $237.7 million of interest expense in Fiscal2014. Interest expense in Fiscal 2015 includes a $10.3 million pre-tax loss principally comprising the settlement of interest rate swaps associated with anextinguishment of debt at Antargaz. Excluding the effects of this pre-tax loss, interest expense decreased $6.1 million principally reflecting (1) the effects of theweaker euro on UGI International local currency interest expense and (2) slightly lower interest expense at AmeriGas Propane and Midstream & Marketing. Thesedecreases were partially offset by higher long-term debt interest at UGI Utilities.
Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate (excluding the effects on such rate of pre-tax income associated with noncontrolling interests not subject to federalincome taxes) of 38.8% in Fiscal 2015 was lower than such rate in Fiscal 2014 of 41.1%. The decrease in the effective income tax rate reflects in large part a lowereffective tax rate on UGI International pre-tax income. UGI International’s effective tax rate in Fiscal 2014 was higher due, in part, to $5.7 million of income taxesassociated with a change in tax laws in France that was retroactive to Fiscal 2013.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
We depend on both internal and external sources of liquidity to provide funds for working capital and to fund capital requirements. Our short-term cashrequirements not met by cash from operations are generally satisfied with borrowings under credit facilities and, in the case of Midstream & Marketing, from aReceivables Facility. Long-term cash requirements are generally met through issuance of long-term debt or equity securities. We believe that each of our businessunits has sufficient liquidity in the forms of cash and cash equivalents on hand; cash expected to be generated from operations; credit facility and ReceivablesFacility borrowings; and the ability to obtain long-term financing to meet anticipated contractual and projected cash commitments. Issuances of debt and equitysecurities in the capital markets and additional credit facilities may not, however, be available to us on acceptable terms.
The primary sources of UGI’s cash and cash equivalents are the dividends and other cash payments made to UGI or its subsidiaries by its principal business units.Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $502.8 million at September 30, 2016 , compared with $369.7 million at September 30, 2015 . Excluding cash and cashequivalents that reside at UGI’s operating subsidiaries, at September 30, 2016 and 2015 , UGI had cash and cash equivalents of $125.7 million and $77.2 million ,respectively, most of which are located in the U.S. Such cash is available to pay dividends on UGI Common Stock and for investment purposes.
AmeriGas Propane’s ability to pay dividends to UGI is dependent upon distributions it receives from AmeriGas Partners. At September 30, 2016 , our 27%effective ownership interest in the Partnership consisted of approximately 23.8 million Common Units and an aggregate 2% general partner interest.Approximately 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, the Partnership distributes all of its Available Cash (as defined in the Fourth Amended and RestatedAgreement of Limited Partnership of AmeriGas Partners, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”)) relating to such fiscal quarter. AmeriGas Propane, as generalpartner of AmeriGas Partners, is entitled to receive incentive distributions when AmeriGas Partners’ quarterly distribution exceeds $0.605 per limited partner unit.During Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 , the total amount of distributions received by the General Partner with respect to its aggregate 2% general partnerownership interests in the Partnership totaled $47.4 million, $39.3 million and $32.4 million, respectively. Included in these amounts are incentive distributionsreceived by the General Partner during Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 of $38.2 million, $30.4 million and $23.9 million, respectively (see Note 14 toConsolidated Financial Statements).
During Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 , our principal business units paid cash dividends and made other cash payments to UGI and its subsidiaries asfollows:

UGI International. In October 2015, Flaga entered into the Flaga Credit Facility Agreement which includes, among other things, a €45.8 million variable-rateterm loan facility. In October 2015, Flaga used proceeds from the issuance of the €45.8 million variable-rate term loan to refinance its €19.1 million term loan dueOctober 2016, and its €26.7 million term loan due August 2016. The €45.8 million term loan matures in October 2020.
UGI Utilities. In April 2016, UGI Utilities entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “2016 Note Purchase Agreement”) with a consortium of lenders. Pursuantto the 2016 Note Purchase Agreement, UGI Utilities issued $100 million aggregate principal amount of 2.95% Senior Notes due June 2026 and $200 millionaggregate principal amount of 4.12% Senior Notes due September 2046 in June 2016 and September 2016, respectively. In October 2016, UGI Utilities issued$100 million aggregate principal amount of 4.12% Senior Notes due October 2046.

For detailed information on the Company’s short-term and long-term borrowings, see Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Short-term Debt
Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s businesses, cash provided by operating activities is generally strongest during the second and third fiscal quarterswhen customers pay for natural gas, LPG, electricity and other energy products and services consumed during the peak heating season months. Conversely, cashfrom operating activities is generally at its lowest levels during the first and fourth fiscal quarters when the Company’s investment in working capital, principallyinventories and accounts receivable, is generally greatest. AmeriGas Propane and UGI Utilities primarily use their credit facilities to satisfy their seasonaloperating cash flow needs. Energy Services has historically used its Receivables Facility to satisfy much of its seasonal operating cash flow needs. Energy Servicesalso has a $240 million credit facility, which it can use for general corporate purposes. Flaga principally uses borrowings under its credit agreements to satisfy itsoperating cash flow needs. During Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014, UGI France generally funded its operating cash flow needs without using its revolvingcredit facilities and AvantiGas has funded its operating cash flow needs from cash on hand. Borrowings under the credit facilities and the Energy ServicesReceivables Facility are classified as short-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements for further informationon the Company’s short-term credit facilities.
UGI International. In October 2015, Flaga entered into a €100.8 million Credit Facility Agreement (the “Flaga Credit Facility Agreement”) with a bank. TheFlaga Credit Facility Agreement includes a €25 million multi-currency revolving credit facility, a €25 million guarantee facility, a €5 million overdraft facility anda €45.8 million term loan facility. Borrowings under the multi-currency revolving credit facility bear interest at market rates (generally one, three or six-montheuribor rates) plus margins. The margins on revolving facility borrowings, which range from 1.45% to 3.65% , are based upon the actual currency borrowed andcertain consolidated equity, return on assets and debt to EBITDA ratios, as defined in the Flaga Credit Facility Agreement. Concurrent with Flaga entering into theFlaga Credit Facility Agreement, a previous credit facility was terminated.
Midstream & Marketing. In February 2016, Energy Services entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Energy Services CreditAgreement"), as borrower, with a group of lenders providing for borrowings up to $240 million (including a $50 million sublimit for letters of credit). The EnergyServices Credit Agreement can be used for general corporate purposes of Energy Services and its subsidiaries and to fund dividend payments provided that, aftergiving effect to such dividend payments, Energy Services maintains a specified ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to EBITDA, each as defined in the EnergyServices Credit Agreement.

Energy Services also has a Receivables Facility with an issuer of receivables-backed commercial paper. On October 28, 2016, the expiration date of theReceivables Facility was extended to October 27, 2017. The Receivables Facility, as amended, provides Energy Services with the ability to borrow up to $150million of eligible receivables during the period November through April, and up to $75 million of eligible receivables during the period May through October.Energy Services uses the Receivables Facility to fund working capital, margin calls under commodity futures contracts, capital expenditures, dividends and forgeneral corporate purposes.
At September 30, 2016 , the outstanding balance of ESFC trade receivables was $35.7 million and there was $25.5 million that was sold to the bank. AtSeptember 30, 2015 , the outstanding balance of ESFC trade receivables was $44.1 million of which $19.5 million was sold to the bank. Amounts sold to the bankare reflected as short-term borrowings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet (see Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements). During Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015 ,peak sales of receivables were $46.0 million and $67.5 million , respectively, and average daily amounts sold were $14.4 million and $19.4 million , respectively.
Cash FlowsDue to the seasonal nature of the Company’s businesses, cash flows from operating activities are generally strongest during the second and third fiscal quarterswhen customers pay for natural gas, LPG, electricity and other energy products and services consumed during the peak heating season months. Conversely,operating cash flows are generally at their lowest levels during the fourth and first fiscal quarters when the Company’s investment in working capital, principallyinventories and accounts receivable, is generally greatest.

Operating Activities:
Year-to-year variations in our cash flow from operations can be significantly affected by changes in operating working capital especially during periods ofsignificant changes in energy commodity prices. Cash flow from operating activities in Fiscal 2016 includes the full-year operations of Finagaz acquired on May29, 2015. Cash flow from operating activities was lower in Fiscal 2016 compared to Fiscal 2015 reflecting lower cash flow from changes in operating workingcapital and the effects of the warmer weather on our domestic business units’ operating results. Cash flow from operating activities was higher in Fiscal 2015compared to Fiscal 2014 reflecting greater cash flow from changes in operating working capital. Cash flow from operating activities before changes in operatingworking capital was $926.6 million in Fiscal 2016 , $972.0 million in Fiscal 2015 and $1,011.9 million in Fiscal 2014 . The slightly lower Fiscal 2016 cash flowfrom operating activities before changes in operating working capital compared to Fiscal 2015 principally reflects the effects of lower net income (after adjustingnet income for the noncash effects of unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and the loss on extinguishment of debt at AmeriGas Partners) and a$36.0 million cash settlement of interest rate agreements at UGI Utilities partially offset by higher noncash charges for deferred income taxes and depreciation andamortization. The decrease in Fiscal 2015 cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating working capital compared to such amount for Fiscal2014 reflects, in large part, lower non-cash charges for deferred income taxes. Changes in operating working capital provided (used) operating cash flow of $43.1million in Fiscal 2016 , $191.8 million in Fiscal 2015 and $(6.5) million in Fiscal 2014 . The significantly higher cash from the net changes in accounts receivable,inventories and accounts payable in Fiscal 2015 as compared to such amounts in Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2014 reflects, in large part, the impact of significantdeclines in LPG and natural gas costs in Fiscal 2015. In addition, cash flow from changes in working capital include net refunds of UGI Utilities purchased gas andelectricity costs of $(22.7) million in Fiscal 2016, net overcollections of $51.8 million in Fiscal 2015, and net refunds of $(17.6) million in Fiscal 2014.
Investing Activities:
Investing activity cash flow is principally affected by cash expenditures for property, plant and equipment; cash paid for acquisitions of businesses; changes inrestricted cash balances and net cash proceeds from sales and retirements of property, plant and equipment. Cash expenditures for property, plant and equipmenttotaled $563.8 million in Fiscal 2016 , $490.6 million in Fiscal 2015 and $456.8 million in Fiscal 2014 . Cash payments for property, plant and equipment werehigher in Fiscal 2016 compared to Fiscal 2015 reflecting, in large part, higher Gas Utility replacement and infrastructure improvement capital expenditures, higherEnergy Services midstream pipeline project capital expenditures and, to a lesser extent, incremental UGI International capital expenditures principally reflectingthe full-year impact of Finagaz. The increase in capital expenditures in Fiscal 2015 compared to Fiscal 2014 reflects, in large part, higher Gas Utility replacementand infrastructure improvement capital expenditures. Net cash paid for acquisitions of businesses in Fiscal 2016 includes business acquisitions at AmeriGasPropane ($37.6 million) and acquisitions of retail LPG businesses at UGI International ($23.6 million). Net cash paid for business acquisitions in Fiscal 2015includes the Totalgaz Acquisition (see Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements). Net cash paid for business acquisitions in Fiscal 2014 includes the acquisitionby Midstream & Marketing of a natural gas marketing business and several Partnership acquisitions. Cash from changes in restricted cash, primarily cash in futuresbrokerage accounts, provided (used) cash of $ 53.7 million in Fiscal 2016 , $ (52.8) million in Fiscal 2015 and $ (8.3) million in Fiscal 2014 . The amount ofrestricted cash required in such accounts is generally the result of changes in underlying commodity prices.
Financing Activities:
Changes in cash flow from financing activities are primarily due to issuances and repayments of long-term debt; short-term borrowings; dividends and distributionson UGI Common Stock and AmeriGas Partners Common Units; and issuances or repurchases of equity instruments.
In 2016, AmeriGas Partners issued $1.35 billion face value of AmeriGas Partners Senior Notes and used substantially all of the net proceeds from the issuance torepay $1.27 billion principal amount of existing AmeriGas Partners Senior Notes subject to tender offers and notices of redemptions. In addition, during Fiscal2016 UGI Utilities issued $300 million of Senior Notes and used the net proceeds principally to repay maturing long-term debt and short-term borrowings. Theincreases in dividends on UGI Common Stock and distributions on AmeriGas Partners’ publicly held Common Units during the three-year period principallyreflects annual increases in quarterly dividend and distribution rates. Financing cash flows in Fiscal 2015 include net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debtunder the UGI France 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement totaling $652.6 million, the proceeds of which were used principally to fund a portion of the acquisition ofFinagaz and to prepay term loans outstanding under Antargaz’ 2011 Senior Facilities Agreement. For further information on debt transactions, see Note 6 toConsolidated Financial Statements.

The higher levels of UGI Utilities capital expenditures in Fiscal 2016, as well as those estimated for Fiscal 2017, reflect greater main replacement and systemimprovement capital expenditures, increases in new business capital expenditures and investments in new information technology projects.
Contractual Cash Obligations and Commitments
The Company has contractual cash obligations that extend beyond Fiscal 2016 . Such obligations include scheduled repayments of long-term debt, interest on long-term fixed-rate debt, operating lease payments, unconditional purchase obligations for pipeline capacity, pipeline transportation and natural gas storage servicesand commitments to purchase natural gas, LPG and electricity, capital expenditures and derivative instruments.

Other noncurrent liabilities included in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2016 , principally comprise refundable tank and cylinder deposits (asfurther described in Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements under the caption “Refundable Tank and Cylinder Deposits”); litigation, property and casualtyliabilities and obligations under environmental remediation agreements (see Note 15 to Consolidated Financial Statements); pension and other postretirementbenefit liabilities recorded in accordance with accounting guidance relating to employee retirement plans (see Note 7 to Consolidated Financial Statements); andliabilities associated with executive compensation plans (see Note 13 to Consolidated Financial Statements). These liabilities are not included in the table ofContractual Cash Obligations and Commitments because they are estimates of future payments and not contractually fixed as to timing or amount. Requiredminimum contributions to UGI Utilities’ pension plan (as further described below under “U.S. Pension Plan”) in Fiscal 2017 are not expected to be material.Required minimum contributions to
55
Table of Contents
the U.S. Pension Plan in years beyond Fiscal 2017 will depend, in large part, on the impacts of future returns on pension plan assets and interest rates on pensionplan liabilities. Certain of our operating lease arrangements, primarily vehicle leases with remaining lease terms of one to ten years, have residual value guarantees.Although such fair values at the end of the leases have historically exceeded the guaranteed amount, at September 30, 2016 , the maximum potential amount offuture payments under lease guarantees assuming the leased equipment was deemed worthless was approximately $42.1 million.
U.S. Pension Plan
In the U.S., we sponsor a defined benefit pension plan for employees hired prior to January 1, 2009, of UGI, UGI Utilities, PNG, CPG and certain of UGI’s otherdomestic wholly owned subsidiaries (“U.S. Pension Plan”). The fair values of the U.S. Pension Plan’s assets totaled $463.4 million and $430.8 million atSeptember 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. At September 30, 2016 and 2015 , the underfunded positions of the U.S. Pension Plan, defined as the excess of theprojected benefit obligation (“PBO”) over the U.S. Pension Plan’s assets, were $182.0 million and $132.8 million, respectively.
We believe we are in compliance with regulations governing defined benefit pension plans, including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974(“ERISA”) rules and regulations. Required minimum contributions to the U.S. Pension Plan in Fiscal 2017 are not expected to be material. Pre-tax pension costassociated with the U.S. Pension Plan in Fiscal 2016 was $12.8 million. Pre-tax pension cost associated with the U.S. Pension Plan in Fiscal 2017 is expected to beapproximately $17.0 million.
GAAP guidance associated with pension and other postretirement plans generally requires recognition of an asset or liability in the statement of financial positionreflecting the funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans with current year changes recognized in shareholders’ equity unless such amounts aresubject to regulatory recovery. At September 30, 2016 , we have recorded after-tax charges to UGI Corporation’s stockholders’ equity of $29.1 million andrecorded regulatory assets totaling $183.1 million in order to reflect the funded status of our pension and other postretirement benefit plans. For a more detaileddiscussion of the U.S. Pension Plan and our other postretirement benefit plans, see Note 7 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Related Party Transactions
During Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 , we did not enter into any related-party transactions that had a material effect on our financial condition, resultsof operations or cash flows.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
UGI primarily enters into guarantee arrangements on behalf of its consolidated subsidiaries. These arrangements are not subject to the recognition andmeasurement guidance relating to guarantees under GAAP.
We do not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that are expected to have a material effect on our financial condition, change in financial condition, revenuesor expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Utility Matters
UGI Gas Base Rate Filing. On January 19, 2016, UGI Utilities filed a rate request with the PUC to increase UGI Gas’s annual base operating revenues forresidential, commercial and industrial customers by $58.6 million. The increased revenues would fund ongoing system improvements and operations necessary tomaintain safe and reliable natural gas service. On June 30, 2016, a Joint Petition for Approval of Settlement of all issues providing for a $27.0 million UGI Gasannual base distribution rate increase, to be effective October 19, 2016, was filed with the PUC (“Joint Petition”). On October 14, 2016, the PUC approved theJoint Petition with a minor modification which had no effect on the $27.0 million base distribution rate increase. The increase became effective on October 19,2016.
Distribution System Improvement Charge. On April 14, 2012, legislation became effective enabling gas and electric utilities in Pennsylvania, under certaincircumstances, to recover the cost of eligible capital investment in distribution system infrastructure improvement projects between base rate cases. The chargeenabled by the legislation is known as a distribution system improvement charge (“DSIC”). The primary benefit to a company from a DSIC charge is theelimination of regulatory lag, or delayed rate recognition, that occurs under traditional ratemaking relating to qualifying capital expenditures. To be eligible for aDSIC, a utility must have filed a general rate filing within five years of its petition seeking permission to include a DSIC in its tariff, and not exceed certainearnings tests. Absent PUC permission, the DSIC is capped at five percent of the amount billed to customers. PNG and CPG received PUC approval on a DSICtariff, initially set at zero, in 2014. PNG and CPG began charging a DSIC at a rate other than zero, beginning April 1, 2015 and April 1, 2016, respectively. InMarch 2016, PNG and CPG filed petitions, seeking approval to increase the maximum allowable DSIC from five percent to ten percent of billed distributionrevenues. To date, no action has been taken by the PUC on either of these petitions. The Company cannot predict the timing or outcome of these petitions.

Table of Contents
On November 9, 2016, UGI Gas received PUC approval to establish a DSIC tariff mechanism effective January 1, 2017. Revenue collected pursuant to themechanism will be subject to refund and recoupment based on the PUC’s final resolution of certain matters set aside for hearing before an administrative lawjudge. To commence recovery of revenue under the mechanism, UGI Gas must first place into service a threshold level of DSIC-eligible plant agreed upon in thesettlement of its recent base rate case. Achievement of that threshold is not likely to occur prior to September 30, 2017.
Manufactured Gas Plants
From the late 1800s through the mid-1900s, UGI Utilities and its current and former subsidiaries owned and operated a number of manufactured gas plants(“MGPs”) prior to the general availability of natural gas. Some constituents of coal tars and other residues of the manufactured gas process are today consideredhazardous substances under the Superfund Law and may be present on the sites of former MGPs. Between 1882 and 1953, UGI Utilities owned the stock ofsubsidiary gas companies in Pennsylvania and elsewhere and also operated the businesses of some gas companies under agreement. By the early 1950s, UGIUtilities divested all of its utility operations other than certain Pennsylvania operations, including those which now constitute UGI Gas and Electric Utility. UGIUtilities also has two acquired subsidiaries (CPG and PNG) which have similar histories of owning, and in some cases operating, MGPs in Pennsylvania.
UGI Utilities and its subsidiaries have entered into agreements with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) to address the remediationof former MGPs in Pennsylvania. CPG is party to a Consent Order and Agreement (“CPG-COA”) with the DEP requiring CPG to perform a specified level ofactivities associated with environmental investigation and remediation work at certain properties in Pennsylvania on which 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 RemediationConsent Order and Agreement (“PNG-COA”) with the DEP. The PNG-COA requires PNG to perform annually a specified level of activities associated withenvironmental investigation and remediation work at certain properties on which MGP-related facilities were operated (“PNG MGP Properties”). Under theseagreements, required environmental expenditures relating to the CPG MGP Properties and the PNG MGP Properties are capped at $1.8 million and $1.1 million ,respectively, in any calendar year. The CPG-COA is scheduled to terminate at the end of 2018. The PNG-COA terminates in 2019 but may be terminated by eitherparty effective at the end of any two -year period beginning with the original effective date in March 2004. At September 30, 2016 and 2015 , our accruedliabilities for estimated environmental investigation and remediation costs related to the CPG-COA and the PNG-COA totaled $11.3 million and $13.8 million ,respectively. CPG and PNG have recorded associated regulatory assets for these costs because recovery of these costs from customers is probable.
In May 2016, UGI Gas executed a Consent Order and Agreement (“UGI Gas-COA”) with the DEP with an effective date of October 1, 2016. The UGI Gas-COAwill terminate in September 2031 if not extended by the parties. The UGI Gas-COA requires UGI Gas to perform a specified level of activities associated withenvironmental investigation and remediation work at certain properties in Pennsylvania on which MGP related facilities were operated (“UGI Gas MGPProperties”). Under this agreement, required environmental expenditures related to the UGI Gas MGP Properties are capped at $2.5 million in any calendar year.At September 30, 2016 , our accrued liabilities for estimated environmental investigation and remediation costs related to the UGI Gas-COA totaled $43.7 million .UGI Gas has recorded an associated regulatory asset for these costs because recovery of these costs from customers is probable (see Note 8 to ConsolidatedFinancial Statements).
We do not expect the costs for investigation and remediation of hazardous substances at Pennsylvania MGP sites to be material to UGI Utilities’ results ofoperations because UGI Gas, CPG and PNG receive ratemaking recognition of estimated environmental investigation and remediation costs associated with theirenvironmental sites. This ratemaking recognition balances the accumulated difference between historical costs and rate recoveries with an estimate of future costsassociated with the sites.
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 Utilitiesor owned or operated by its former subsidiaries. Such parties generally investigate the extent of environmental contamination or perform environmentalremediation. Management believes that under applicable law UGI Utilities should not be liable in those instances in which a former subsidiary owned or operatedan MGP. There could be, however, significant future costs of an uncertain amount associated with environmental damage caused by MGPs outside Pennsylvaniathat 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’sseparate corporate form should be disregarded, or (2) UGI Utilities should be considered to have been an operator because of its conduct with respect to itssubsidiary’s MGP. At September 30, 2016 , neither the undiscounted nor the accrued liability for environmental investigation and cleanup costs for UGI Utilities’MGP sites outside of Pennsylvania was material.

Market Risk Disclosures
Our primary market risk exposures are (1) commodity price risk; (2) interest rate risk; and (3) foreign currency exchange rate risk. Although we use derivativefinancial and commodity instruments to reduce market price risk associated with forecasted transactions, we do not use derivative financial and commodityinstruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Commodity Price Risk
The risk associated with fluctuations in the prices the Partnership and our UGI International operations pay for LPG is principally a result of market forcesreflecting changes in supply and demand for LPG and other energy commodities. Their profitability is sensitive to changes in LPG supply costs. Increases insupply costs are generally passed on to customers. The Partnership and UGI International may not, however, always be able to pass through product cost increasesfully or on a timely basis, particularly when product costs rise rapidly. In order to reduce the volatility of LPG market price risk, the Partnership uses contracts forthe forward purchase or sale of propane, propane fixed-price supply agreements and over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments including price swap andoption contracts. Our UGI International operations use over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments and may from time to time enter into other derivativecontracts, similar to those used by the Partnership, to reduce market risk associated with a portion of their LPG purchases. Over-the-counter derivative commodityinstruments used to economically hedge forecasted purchases of LPG are generally settled at expiration of the contract. In addition, certain of our UGIInternational businesses hedge a portion of their anticipated U.S. dollar-denominated LPG product purchases through the use of forward foreign currency exchangecontracts as further described below.
Gas Utility's tariffs contain clauses that permit recovery of all of the prudently incurred costs of natural gas it sells to its customers, including the cost of financialinstruments used to hedge purchased gas costs. The recovery clauses provide for periodic adjustments for the difference between the total amounts actuallycollected from customers through PGC rates and the recoverable costs incurred. Because of this ratemaking mechanism, there is limited commodity price riskassociated with our Gas Utility operations. Gas Utility uses derivative financial instruments, including natural gas futures and option contracts traded on the NewYork Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”), to reduce volatility in the cost of gas it purchases for its retail core-market customers. The cost of these derivativefinancial instruments, net of any associated gains or losses, is included in Gas Utility's PGC recovery mechanism.
Electric Utility's default service (“DS”) tariffs contain clauses which permit recovery of all prudently incurred power costs, including the cost of financialinstruments used to hedge electricity costs, through the application of DS rates. Because of this ratemaking mechanism, there is limited power cost risk, includingthe cost of financial transmission rights (“FTRs”) and forward electricity purchase contracts, associated with our Electric Utility operations.
In addition, Gas Utility and Electric Utility from time to time enter into exchange-traded gasoline futures contracts for a portion of gasoline volumes expected to beused in their operations. These gasoline futures contracts are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in other operating income or operatingexpenses.
In order to manage market price risk relating to substantially all of Midstream & Marketing’s fixed-price sales contracts for natural gas and electricity,Midstream & Marketing enters into NYMEX, Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”) and over-the-counter natural gas and electricity futures and natural gas basisswap contracts or enters into fixed-price supply arrangements. Midstream & Marketing also uses NYMEX and over-the-counter electricity futures contracts toeconomically hedge a portion of its anticipated sales of electricity from its electricity generation facilities. Although Midstream & Marketing’s fixed-price supplyarrangements mitigate most risks associated with its fixed-price sales contracts, should any of the suppliers under these arrangements fail to perform, increases, ifany, in the cost of replacement natural gas or electricity would adversely impact Midstream & Marketing’s results. In order to reduce this risk of suppliernonperformance, Midstream & Marketing has diversified its purchases across a number of suppliers.
From time to time, Midstream & Marketing purchases FTRs to economically hedge certain transmission costs that may be associated with its fixed-price electricitysales contracts. Midstream & Marketing from time to time also enters into New York Independent System Operator (“NYISO”) capacity swap contracts toeconomically hedge the locational basis differences for customers it serves on the NYISO electricity grid. Midstream & Marketing also uses NYMEX futurescontracts to economically hedge the gross margin associated with the purchase and anticipated later near-term sale of natural gas or propane.
Midstream & Marketing has entered into fixed-price sales agreements for a portion of the electricity expected to be generated by its electric generation assets. Inthe event that these generation assets would not be able to produce all of the electricity needed to supply electricity under these agreements, Midstream &Marketing would be required to purchase electricity on the spot market or under contract with other electricity suppliers. Accordingly, increases in the cost ofreplacement power could negatively impact Midstream & Marketing’s results.

Interest Rate Risk
We have both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. Changes in interest rates impact the cash flows of variable-rate debt but generally do not impact their fair value.Conversely, changes in interest rates impact the fair value of fixed-rate debt but do not impact their cash flows.
Our variable-rate debt includes short-term borrowings and France SAS’s and Flaga’s variable-rate term loans. These debt agreements have interest rates that aregenerally indexed to short-term market interest rates. France SAS and Flaga, through the use of pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swaps, have fixed theunderlying euribor interest rates on their euro-denominated term loans through all, or a substantial portion of, the periods such debt is outstanding. In addition,Flaga’s U.S. dollar-denominated loans have been swapped from fixed-rate U.S. dollars to fixed-rate euro currency at issuance through cross currency swaps,removing interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk associated with the underlying interest and principal payments. At September 30, 2016 , combinedborrowings outstanding under variable-rate debt agreements, excluding France SAS’s and Flaga’s effectively fixed-rate term loans and Flaga’s U.S. dollar-denominated loan, totaled $291.7 million . Based upon average borrowings outstanding under variable-rate borrowings (excluding France SAS’s and Flaga’seffectively fixed-rate term loan debt and Flaga’s U.S. dollar-denominated loans), an increase in short-term interest rates of 100 basis points (1%) would haveincreased our Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015 interest expense by approximately $3 million and $2 million, respectively. The remainder of our debt outstanding issubject to fixed rates of interest. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in decreases in the fair value of this fixed-rate debt ofapproximately $193 million and $131 million at September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result inincreases in the fair value of this fixed-rate debt of approximately $222 million and $122 million at September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.
Long-term debt associated with our domestic businesses is typically issued at fixed rates of interest based upon market rates for debt with similar terms and creditratings. As these long-term debt issues mature, we may refinance such debt with new debt having interest rates reflecting then-current market conditions. In orderto reduce interest rate risk associated with near- to medium-term forecasted issuances of fixed-rate debt, from time to time we enter into interest rate protectionagreements (“IRPAs”).
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Our primary currency exchange rate risk is associated with the U.S. dollar versus the euro and, to a lesser extent, the U.S. dollar versus the British pound sterling.The U.S. dollar value of our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities will fluctuate with changes in the associated foreign currency exchange rates. Fromtime to time, we use derivative instruments to hedge portions of our net investments in foreign subsidiaries (“net investment hedges”). Gains or losses on netinvestment hedges remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until such foreign operations are sold or liquidated. At September 30, 2016 , there were nounsettled net investment hedges outstanding. With respect to our net investments in our UGI International operations, a 10% decline in the value of the associatedforeign currencies versus the U.S. dollar would reduce their aggregate net book value at September 30, 2016 , by approximately $110 million , which amountwould be reflected in other comprehensive income.
In addition, in order to reduce volatility related to certain of our foreign LPG operations, we hedge a portion of their anticipated U.S. dollar-denominated LPGproduct purchases primarily during the months of October through March through the use of forward foreign exchange contracts.
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 principallycomprise large energy companies and major U.S. and international financial institutions. We maintain credit policies with regard to our counterparties that webelieve reduce overall credit risk. These policies include evaluating and monitoring our counterparties' financial condition, including their credit ratings, andentering into agreements with counterparties that govern credit limits or entering into netting agreements that allow for offsetting counterparty receivable andpayable balances for certain financial transactions as deemed appropriate.
Certain of these derivative instrument agreements call for the posting of collateral by the counterparty or by the Company in the forms of letters of credit, parentalguarantees or cash. Additionally, our commodity exchange-traded futures contracts generally require cash deposits in margin accounts. At September 30, 2016 and2015 , restricted cash in brokerage accounts totaled $15.6 million and $54.9 million, respectively. Although we have concentrations of credit risk associated withderivative instruments, the maximum amount of loss, based upon the gross fair values of the derivative instruments, we would incur if these counterparties failed toperform according to the terms of their contracts was not material at September 30, 2016 . Certain of the Partnership’s derivative contracts have credit-risk-relatedcontingent features that may require the posting of additional collateral in the event of a downgrade of the Partnership’s debt rating. At September 30, 2016 , if thecredit-risk-related contingent features were triggered, the amount of collateral required to be posted would not be material.

Table of Contents
The following table summarizes the fair values of unsettled market risk sensitive derivative instrument assets (liabilities) held at September 30, 2016 and 2015 .The table also includes the changes in fair values of derivative instruments that would result if there were (1) a 10% adverse change in the market prices of LPG,gasoline, natural gas, electricity and electricity transmission congestion charges; (2) a 50 basis point adverse change in the three-month and one-month euriborrates; and (3) a 10% change in the value of the euro and the British pound sterling versus the U.S. dollar. Gas Utility’s and Electric Utility’s derivative instrumentsother than gasoline futures contracts are excluded from the table below because any associated net gains or losses are refundable to or recoverable from customersin accordance with Gas Utility and Electric Utility ratemaking.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Accounting policies and estimates discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statementsbecause they involve significant judgments and uncertainties. Changes in these policies and estimates could have a material effect on the financial statements. Theapplication of these accounting policies and estimates necessarily requires management’s most subjective or complex judgments regarding estimates and projectedoutcomes of future events which could have a material impact on the financial statements. Management has reviewed these critical accounting policies, and theestimates and assumptions associated with them, with the Company’s Audit Committee. In addition, management has reviewed the following disclosures regardingthe application of these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee. Also, see Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements whichdiscusses the significant accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.
Litigation Accruals and Environmental Remediation Liabilities. We are involved in litigation that arises in the normal course of business. In addition, UGIUtilities and its former subsidiaries owned and operated a number of MGPs in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, and PNG and CPG owned and operated a number ofMGP sites located in Pennsylvania, at which hazardous substances may be present. In accordance with GAAP, we record a reserve when it is probable that aliability exists and the amount or range of amounts related to such liability can be reasonably estimated. When there is a range of possible loss with equallikelihood, liabilities recorded are based upon the low end of such range. The likelihood of a loss with respect to a particular contingency is often difficult topredict and determining a reasonable estimate of the loss or a range of possible loss may not be practicable based upon the information available and the potentialeffects of future events and decisions by third parties that will determine the ultimate resolution of the contingency. Reasonable estimates involve managementjudgments based on a broad range of information and prior experience and include an evaluation of the nature of the claim, the procedural status of the matter, theprobability or likelihood of success of prosecuting or defending the claim, the information available with respect to the claim, the opinions and views of outsidecounsel and other advisors, and past experience in similar matters. These judgments are reviewed quarterly as more information is received, and the amountsreserved are updated as necessary. Our estimated reserves may differ materially from the ultimate liability and such reserves may change materially as moreinformation becomes available.
Accounting For Derivative Instruments At Fair Value. The Company enters into derivative instruments to economically hedge the risks associated withchanges in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency rates. Accounting requirements for derivatives and related hedging activities are complex and maybe subject to further clarification by standard-setting bodies. These derivatives are recognized as assets and liabilities at fair value on the Consolidated BalanceSheets. Derivative assets and liabilities are presented net by counterparty on our Consolidated Balance Sheets if the right of offset exists. The accounting forchanges in fair value depends upon the purpose of the derivative instrument and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. Changes in the fairvalues of certain derivative instruments that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) ornoncontrolling interests, both of which are components of equity, to the extent effective at offsetting changes in the hedged item, until earnings are affected by thehedged item. Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments that we do not designate as, or that do not qualify for, hedge accounting under GAAP, whichcurrently
60
Table of Contents
comprises all of our commodity derivative instruments, are recognized in earnings on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair values of our derivativeinstruments are determined based upon actively-quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities, indicative price quotations available through brokers,industry price publications or recent market transactions and related market indicators. We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use ofunobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Gains and losses associated with derivatives utilized by UGI Utilities to manage the price risk inherent in itsnatural gas and electricity purchasing activities are recoverable through Gas Utility PGC or Electric Utility DS mechanisms, subject to PUC approval. Accordingly,the offset to the changes in fair values of these derivatives for which the normal purchases and normal sales exception under GAAP does not apply are recorded aseither a regulatory asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2016 , the net fair value of our derivative assets totaled $37.7 millionand the net fair value of our derivative liabilities totaled $70.4 million .
Regulatory Assets and Liabilities. Gas Utility and Electric Utility are subject to regulation by the PUC. In accordance with accounting guidance associated withrate-regulated entities, we record the effects of rate regulation in our financial statements as regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities. We continually assesswhether the regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by evaluating the regulatory environment, recent rate orders and public statements issued by the PUC,and the status of any pending deregulation legislation. If future recovery of regulatory assets ceases to be probable, the elimination of those regulatory assets wouldadversely impact our results of operations and cash flows. As of September 30, 2016 , our regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities totaled $395.1 million and$55.6 million , respectively. For additional information on regulatory assets and liabilities, see Notes 2 and 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Depreciation and Amortization of Long-Lived Assets. We compute depreciation on utility property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over theaverage remaining lives of its various classes of depreciable property and on our non-utility property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over estimateduseful lives generally ranging from 3 to 40 years. We also use amortization methods and determine asset values of intangible assets subject to amortization usingreasonable assumptions and projections. Changes in the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and changes in intangible asset amortizationmethods or values could have a material effect on our results of operations. As of September 30, 2016 , our net property, plant and equipment totaled $5,238.0million and we recorded depreciation expense of $338.6 million during Fiscal 2016 . As of September 30, 2016 , our net intangible assets subject to amortizationtotaled $ 448.7 million and we recorded amortization expense on intangible assets subject to amortization of $54.3 million during Fiscal 2016 .
Purchase Price Allocations. From time to time, the Company enters into material business combinations. In accordance with accounting guidance associated withbusiness combinations, the purchase price is allocated to the various assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair value. Fair values of assetsacquired and liabilities assumed are based upon available information and we may involve an independent third party to perform appraisals. Estimating fair valuescan be complex and subject to significant business judgment and most commonly impacts property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including those withindefinite lives. Generally, we have, if necessary, up to one year from the acquisition date to finalize the purchase price allocation.
Goodwill Impairment Evaluation. We perform impairment tests on goodwill resulting from purchase business combinations at least annually at the reporting unitlevel. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business one level below the operating segment (a component), if discrete financial information is preparedand regularly reviewed by segment management. Components are aggregated if they have similar economic characteristics. Each of our reporting units withgoodwill is required to perform impairment tests annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the value of goodwill may be impaired. During thefourth quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company changed the measurement date for performing its annual goodwill impairment tests from September 30 to July 31. Thisvoluntary change in accounting principle, applied prospectively, is preferable as it aligns the annual goodwill impairment test date more closely with theCompany’s internal budgeting process and did not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment of the Company’s goodwill.
For certain of our reporting units, we assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of such reporting unit is less thanits carrying amount. For our other reporting units with goodwill, we bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the first step of the two-step quantitativeassessment by comparing the fair values of the reporting units with their carrying amounts, including goodwill. We determine fair values generally based on aweighting of income and market approaches. For purposes of the income approach, fair values are determined based upon the present value of the reporting unit’sestimated future cash flows, including an estimate of the reporting unit’s terminal value based upon these cash flows, discounted at appropriate risk-adjusted rates.We use our internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows which may include estimates of long-term future growth rates based upon our most recent reviews of thelong-term outlook for each reporting unit. Cash flow estimates used to establish fair values under our income approach involve management judgments based on abroad range of information and historical results. In addition, external economic and competitive conditions can influence future performance. For purposes of themarket approach, we use valuation multiples for companies comparable to our reporting units. The market approach requires
61
Table of Contents
judgment to determine the appropriate valuation multiples. We are required to recognize an impairment charge under GAAP if the carrying amount of a reportingunit exceeds its fair value and the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill as determined in the samemanner as goodwill is recognized in a business combination. As of September 30, 2016 , our goodwill totaled $2,989.0 million . We did not record anyimpairments of goodwill in Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 or Fiscal 2014 .
Pension Plan Assumptions. Pension plan assumptions are significant inputs to the actuarial models that measure pension benefit obligations and pension expense.The cost of providing benefits under the U.S. Pension Plan is dependent on historical information such as employee age, length of service, level of compensationand the actual rate of return on plan assets. In addition, certain assumptions relating to the future are used to determine pension expense including mortalityassumptions, the discount rate applied to benefit obligations, the expected rate of return on plan assets and the rate of compensation increase, among others. Assetsof the U.S. Pension Plan are held in trust and consist principally of equity and fixed income mutual funds and common stock. Changes in plan assumptions as wellas fluctuations in actual equity or fixed income market returns could have a material impact on future pension costs. We believe the two most critical assumptionsare (1) the expected rate of return on plan assets and (2) the discount rate. A decrease in the expected rate of return on U.S. Pension Plan assets of 50 basis points toa rate of 7.00% would result in an increase in pre-tax pension cost of approximately $2.3 million in Fiscal 2017. A decrease in the discount rate of 50 basis pointsto a rate of 3.30% would result in an increase in pre-tax pension cost of approximately $4.3 million in Fiscal 2017. For additional information on our U.S. PensionPlan, see Note 7 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of taxespayable or refundable for the current year and for deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in ourfinancial statements or tax returns. Positions taken by an entity in its tax returns must satisfy a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold assuming the positionswill be examined by tax authorities with full knowledge of relevant information. We use assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine our current provisionfor income taxes. We also use assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance to be recordedagainst a deferred tax asset. Our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to the current provision for income tax give consideration to current tax laws, ourinterpretation of current tax laws and possible outcomes of current and future audits conducted by foreign and domestic tax authorities. Changes in tax law or ourinterpretation thereof and the resolution of current and future tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our consolidatedfinancial statements. Our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to the amount of deferred income taxes take into account estimates of the amount of futuretaxable income. Actual taxable income or future estimates of taxable income could render our current assumptions, judgments and estimates inaccurate. Changes inthe assumptions, judgments and estimates mentioned above could cause our actual income tax obligations to differ significantly from our estimates. As ofSeptember 30, 2016 , our net deferred tax liabilities totaled $1,199.6 million .

Reports of Management
Financial Statements
The Company’s consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this Annual Report were prepared by management, which isresponsible for their fairness, integrity and objectivity. The consolidated financial statements and related information were prepared in accordance with accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include amounts that are based on management’s best judgments and estimates.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is composed of three members, each of whom is independent and a non-employee director of the Company. TheCommittee is responsible for monitoring and overseeing the financial reporting process, the adequacy of internal accounting controls, the independence andperformance of the Company’s independent registered accounting firm and internal auditors. The Committee meets regularly, with and without managementpresent, with the independent registered accounting firm and the internal auditors, both of which report directly to the Committee. In addition, the Committeeprovides regular reports to the Board of Directors.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company, as such term is defined in Rule13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required bySection 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, of the Company’s internal control over financialreporting as of September 30, 2016 , based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of SponsoringOrganizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO 2013 Framework”).
Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process, designed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our ChiefExecutive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regardingthe reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes policies andprocedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of theCompany; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generallyaccepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management anddirectors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of theCompany’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation ofeffectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changing conditions, or the degree of compliance with thepolicies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2016 , basedon the COSO 2013 Framework. Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internalcontrol over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016 , as stated in their report, which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of UGI Corporation:
We have audited UGI Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016 based on criteria established in Internal Control-IntegratedFramework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). UGI Corporation’smanagement is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control overfinancial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express anopinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that weplan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluatingthe design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in thecircumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and thepreparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financialreporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect thetransactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation offinancial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only inaccordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection ofunauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation ofeffectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance withthe policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, UGI Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016, based on theCOSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets ofUGI Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders'equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2016 and our report dated November 22, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinionthereon.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basisfor our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of UGI Corporation andsubsidiaries at September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period endedSeptember 30, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, whenconsidered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

In our opinion, suchadjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2014 consolidated financialstatements of UGI Corporation and subsidiaries other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form ofassurance on the 2014 financial statements.

Note 1 — Nature of Operations
UGI Corporation (“UGI”) is a holding company that, through subsidiaries and affiliates, distributes, stores, transports and markets energy products and relatedservices. 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 andoperate 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, natural gas production and energy services business. Internationally, we market and distribute propane andother liquefied petroleum gases (“LPG”) in Europe. We refer to UGI and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively as “the Company,” “we” or “us.”
We conduct a domestic propane marketing and distribution business through AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“AmeriGas Partners”). AmeriGas Partners is a publiclytraded limited partnership that conducts a national propane distribution business through its principal operating subsidiary AmeriGas Propane, L.P. (“AmeriGasOLP”). AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP 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 September 30, 2016 , the General Partner held a1% general partner interest and a 25.3% limited partner interest in AmeriGas Partners and held an effective 27.1% ownership interest in AmeriGas OLP. Ourlimited partnership interest in AmeriGas Partners comprises AmeriGas Partners Common Units (“Common Units”). The remaining 73.7% interest in AmeriGasPartners comprises Common Units held by the public. The General Partner also holds incentive distribution rights that entitle it to receive distributions fromAmeriGas Partners in excess of its 1% general partner interest under certain circumstances (see Note 14 ).
Our wholly owned subsidiary, UGI Enterprises, Inc. (“Enterprises”), through subsidiaries, conducts (1) an LPG distribution business in France, Belgium, theNetherlands and Luxembourg (“UGI France”); (2) an LPG distribution business in central, northern and eastern Europe (“Flaga”); and (3) an LPG distributionbusiness in the United Kingdom (“AvantiGas”). On May 29, 2015, UGI France SAS (aSociétéparactionssimplifiée)(“France SAS”) (formerly UGI BordeauxHolding), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UGI, purchased all of the outstanding shares of Totalgaz SAS (the “Totalgaz Acquisition”), a retail distributor ofLPG in France. The retail LPG distribution business of Totalgaz SAS and its subsidiaries is referred to herein as “Finagaz” and is included in our UGI Francereportable segment (see Notes 4 and 21 ). The retail LPG distribution business of UGI France prior to the Totalgaz Acquisition is also referred to herein as“Antargaz.” In March 2016, we sold our LPG distribution business located
F-12
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
in the Nantong region of China. The sale did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. We refer to our foreign LPG operationscollectively as “UGI International.”
UGI Energy Services, LLC (“Energy Services, LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprises, conducts directly and through subsidiaries an energy marketing,midstream transmission, liquefied natural gas (“LNG”), storage, natural gas gathering, natural gas production and energy services business primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S. In addition, Energy Services, LLC’s wholly owned subsidiary, UGI Development Company (“UGID”), owns all or a portion ofelectricity generation facilities principally located in Pennsylvania. A first-tier subsidiary of Enterprises also conducts heating, ventilation, air-conditioning,refrigeration and electrical contracting businesses in the Mid-Atlantic region (“HVAC”). Energy Services, LLC and its subsidiaries’ storage, LNG, and portions ofits midstream transmission operations are subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). We refer to the businesses of EnergyServices, LLC and its subsidiaries (excluding UGID) and HVAC as “Energy Services.” We refer to Energy Services and UGID collectively as “Midstream &Marketing.”
UGI Utilities, Inc. (“UGI Utilities”) conducts a natural gas distribution utility business (“Gas Utility”) directly and through its wholly owned subsidiaries UGI PennNatural Gas, Inc. (“PNG”) and UGI Central Penn Gas, Inc. (“CPG”). UGI Utilities, PNG and CPG own and operate natural gas distribution utilities in eastern,northeastern and central Pennsylvania and in a portion of one Maryland county. UGI Utilities also owns and operates an electric distribution utility in northeasternPennsylvania (“Electric Utility”). UGI Utilities’ natural gas distribution utility is referred to as “UGI Gas.” Gas Utility is subject to regulation by the PennsylvaniaPublic Utility Commission (“PUC”) and, with respect to a small service territory in one Maryland county, the Maryland Public Service Commission. ElectricUtility is subject to regulation by the PUC. UGI Utilities is used herein as an abbreviated reference to UGI Utilities, Inc. or, collectively, UGI Utilities, Inc. and itssubsidiaries.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and costs. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events, historical experience and various otherassumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may be different from these estimates and assumptions.
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The 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 interests in the Partnership, and outside ownership interests in other consolidated but less than 100% -owned subsidiaries, as noncontrollinginterests. We eliminate intercompany accounts and transactions when we consolidate. Entities in which we do not have control but have significant influence overoperating and financial policies are accounted for by the equity method. Undistributed net earnings of our equity investees included in consolidated retainedearnings were not material at September 30, 2016 and 2015 . Investments in business entities that are not publicly traded and in which we do not have significantinfluence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the cost method. Such investments are recorded in other assets on the Consolidated BalanceSheets and totaled $70.1 and $70.8 at September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively (including $18.0 and $17.9 , respectively, associated with our approximate 3.5%interest in a private equity partnership that invests in renewable energy companies). Undivided interests in natural gas production assets and an electricitygeneration facility are consolidated on a proportionate basis.
Effects of Regulation
UGI Utilities accounts for the financial effects of regulation in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB’s”) guidance in AccountingStandards Codification (“ASC”) 980, “Regulated Operations.” In accordance with this guidance, incurred costs and estimated future expenditures that wouldotherwise be charged to expense are capitalized and recorded as regulatory assets when it is probable that the incurred costs or estimated future expenditures willbe recovered in rates in the future. Similarly, we recognize regulatory liabilities when it is probable that regulators will require customer refunds through
F-13
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
future rates or when revenue is collected from customers for expenditures that have not yet been incurred. Regulatory assets and liabilities are classified as currentif, upon initial recognition, the entire amount related to that item will be recovered or refunded within a year of the balance sheet date. Generally, regulatory assetsand regulatory liabilities are amortized into expense and income over the periods authorized by the regulator. For additional information regarding the effects ofrate regulation on our utility operations, see Note 8 .
Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies fair value measurements on a recurring and, as otherwise required under GAAP, on a nonrecurring basis. Fair value in GAAP is defined asthe price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date. Fair value measurements performed on a recurring basis principally relate to derivative instruments and investments held in supplementalexecutive retirement plan grantor trusts.
GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The hierarchy gives thehighest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3measurements). A level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
We use the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
• Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
• Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quotedprices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other thanquoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means.
• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Fair value is based upon assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and risks inherent invaluation techniques and inputs to valuations. This includes not only the credit standing of counterparties and credit enhancements but also the impact of our ownnonperformance risk on our liabilities. We evaluate the need for credit adjustments to our derivative instrument fair values. These credit adjustments were notmaterial to the fair values of our derivative instruments.
Derivative Instruments
Derivative instruments are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values, unless the derivative instruments qualify for the normal purchase andnormal sale (“NPNS”) exception under GAAP. The accounting for changes in fair value depends upon the purpose of the derivative instrument and whether it isdesignated and qualifies for hedge accounting.
Certain of our derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges and from time to time we also enter into net investment hedges. For cash flowhedges, changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) or noncontrollinginterests, to the extent effective at offsetting changes in the hedged item, until earnings are affected by the hedged item. We discontinue cash flow hedgeaccounting if occurrence of the forecasted transaction is determined to be no longer probable. Hedge accounting is also discontinued for derivatives that cease to behighly effective. Gains and losses on net investment hedges that relate to our foreign operations are included in AOCI until such foreign net investment is sold orliquidated. Unrealized gains and losses on substantially all of the commodity derivative instruments used by UGI Utilities (for which NPNS has not been elected)are included in regulatory assets or liabilities because it is probable such gains or losses will be recoverable from, or refundable to, customers.
Effective October 1, 2014, UGI International determined on a prospective basis that it would not elect cash flow hedge accounting for its commodity derivativetransactions and also de-designated its then-existing commodity derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges. Also effective October 1, 2014,AmeriGas Propane de-designated its remaining commodity derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges. Previously, AmeriGas Propane haddiscontinued cash flow hedge accounting for
F-14
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
all commodity derivative instruments entered into beginning April 1, 2014. Midstream & Marketing has not applied cash flow hedge accounting for its commodityderivative instruments during any of the periods presented. Substantially all realized and unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments arerecorded in cost of sales or revenues, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Cash flows from derivative instruments, other than net investment hedges and certain cross-currency swaps, are included in cash flows from operating activities onthe Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from net investment hedges, if any, are included in cash flows from investing activities on theConsolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from the interest portion of our cross-currency hedges are included in cash flow from operating activitieswhile cash flows from the currency portion of such hedges are included in cash flow from financing activities.
For a more detailed description of the derivative instruments we use, our accounting for derivatives, our objectives for using them and other information, see Note17 .
Foreign Currency Translation
Balance sheets of international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Income statements and equity investeeresults are translated into U.S. dollars using an average exchange rate for each reporting period. Where the local currency is the functional currency, translationadjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from the sale of LPG are recognized principally upon delivery. Midstream & Marketing records revenues when energy products are delivered or servicesare provided to customers. Revenues from the sale of appliances and equipment are recognized at the later of sale or installation. Revenues from repair ormaintenance services are recognized upon completion of services.
UGI Utilities’ regulated revenues are recognized as natural gas and electricity are delivered and include estimated amounts for distribution service rendered andcommodities delivered but not billed at the end of each month. We reflect the impact of Gas Utility and Electric Utility rate increases or decreases at the time theybecome effective.
We present revenue-related taxes collected on behalf of customers and remitted to taxing authorities, principally sales and use taxes, on a net basis. Electric Utilitygross receipts taxes are included in utility taxes other than income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income in accordance with regulatory practice.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the gross outstanding amount adjusted for an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accountsreceivable that are acquired are initially recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. Provisions for uncollectible accounts are established based upon ourcollection experience and the assessment of the collectability of specific amounts. Accounts receivable are written off in the period in which the receivable isdeemed uncollectible.
LPG Delivery Expenses
Expenses associated with the delivery of LPG to customers of the Partnership and our UGI International operations (including vehicle expenses, expenses ofdelivery personnel, vehicle repair and maintenance and general liability expenses) are classified as operating and administrative expenses on the ConsolidatedStatements of Income. Depreciation expense associated with the Partnership and UGI International delivery vehicles is classified in depreciation on theConsolidated Statements of Income.
Income Taxes
AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP are not directly subject to federal income taxes. Instead, their taxable income or loss is allocated to the individual partners.We record income taxes on (1) our share of the Partnership’s current taxable income or loss and (2) the differences between the book and tax basis of ourinvestment in the Partnership. AmeriGas OLP has subsidiaries which operate in corporate form and are directly subject to federal and state income taxes.Legislation in certain states allows for taxation of partnership income and the accompanying financial statements reflect state income taxes resulting from suchlegislation.
UGI Utilities records deferred income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income resulting from the use of accelerated tax depreciation methods based uponamounts recognized for ratemaking purposes. UGI Utilities also records a deferred income tax liability for tax benefits, principally the result of accelerated taxdepreciation for state income tax purposes, that are flowed through
F-15
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
to ratepayers when temporary differences originate and record a regulatory income tax asset for the probable increase in future revenues that will result when thetemporary differences reverse.
We are amortizing deferred investment tax credits related to UGI Utilities’ plant additions over the service lives of the related property. UGI Utilities reduces itsdeferred income tax liability for the future tax benefits that will occur when investment tax credits, which are not taxable, are amortized. We also reduce theregulatory income tax asset for the probable reduction in future revenues that will result when such deferred investment tax credits amortize. Investment tax creditsassociated with Midstream & Marketing’s qualifying solar energy property under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 are reflected in income taxesfor assets placed in service after Fiscal 2011 and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the property for assets placed in service prior to Fiscal 2012.
We record interest on tax deficiencies and income tax penalties in income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income. For Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal2014 , interest income or expense recognized in income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income was not material.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share attributable to UGI Corporation stockholders reflect the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings pershare include the effects of dilutive stock options and common stock awards. In the following table, we present shares used in computing basic and diluted earningsper share for Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 :
(Thousands of shares) 2016 2015 2014Weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic computation 173,154 173,115 172,733Incremental shares issuable for stock options and common stock awards (a) 2,418 2,552 2,498
Weighted-average common shares outstanding for diluted computation 175,572 175,667 175,231
(a) For Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 , there were 38 shares, 1 share and 0 shares, respectively, associated with outstanding stock option awards thatwere not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share above because their effect was antidilutive.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash principally represents those cash balances in our commodity futures brokerage accounts that are restricted from withdrawal. At September 30,2015, restricted cash also includes $14.3 associated with a construction escrow agreement.
Inventories
Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine cost using an average cost method for LPG, specific identification forappliances and the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method for all other inventories.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Related Depreciation
We record property, plant and equipment at original cost. The amounts assigned to property, plant and equipment of acquired businesses are based upon estimatedfair value at date of acquisition.
We record depreciation expense on non-utility plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over estimated economic useful lives ranging from 10 to 40 years forbuildings and improvements; 6 to 40 years for storage and customer tanks and cylinders; 25 to 40 years for electricity generation facilities; 25 to 40 years forpipeline and related assets, and 3 to 12 years for vehicles, equipment and office furniture and fixtures. Costs to install Partnership and UGI France-owned tanks,net of amounts billed to customers, are capitalized and amortized over the estimated period of benefit not exceeding 10 years.
We record depreciation expense for UGI Utilities’ plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over the estimated average remaining lives of the various classes ofits depreciable property. The composite annual rate for depreciable property at our Gas Utility was
F-16
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
2.2% in Fiscal 2016 , 2.2% in Fiscal 2015 and 2.3% in Fiscal 2014 . The composite annual rate for depreciable property at our Electric Utility was 2.5% in Fiscal2016 , 2.5% in Fiscal 2015 and 2.5% in Fiscal 2014 . When UGI Utilities retires depreciable utility plant and equipment, we charge the original cost toaccumulated depreciation for financial accounting purposes. Costs incurred to retire utility plant and equipment, net of salvage, are recorded in regulatory assets.
We include in property, plant and equipment costs associated with computer software we develop or obtain for use in our businesses. We amortize computersoftware costs on a straight-line basis over expected periods of benefit generally not exceeding 10 years once the installed software is ready for its intended use.
No depreciation expense is included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In accordance with GAAP relating to intangible assets, we amortize intangible assets over their estimated useful lives unless we determine their lives to beindefinite. No amortization expense of intangible assets is included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income (see Note 11 ). Estimated useful livesof definite-lived intangible assets, primarily consisting of customer relationships, certain tradenames and noncompete agreements, do not exceed 15 years. Wereview definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the associated carrying amounts may not berecoverable. Determining whether an impairment loss occurred requires comparing the carrying amount to the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to begenerated by the asset. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually (and more frequently if events or changes incircumstances between annual tests indicate that it is more likely than not that they are impaired) and written down to fair value, if impaired.
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 anoperating segment (a component) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. Components are aggregated as asingle reporting unit if they have similar economic characteristics. Each of our reporting units with goodwill is required to perform impairment tests annually orwhenever events or circumstances indicate that the value of goodwill may be impaired. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company changed themeasurement date for performing its annual goodwill impairment tests from September 30 to July 31. This voluntary change in accounting principle, appliedprospectively, is preferable as it aligns the annual goodwill impairment test date more closely with the Company’s internal budgeting process and did not delay,accelerate or avoid an impairment of the Company’s goodwill.
For certain of our reporting units with goodwill, we assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of such reportingunit is less than its carrying amount. For our other reporting units with goodwill, we bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the first step of the two-stepquantitative assessment by comparing the fair values of the reporting units with their carrying amounts, including goodwill. We determine fair values generallybased on a weighting of income and market approaches. For purposes of the income approach, fair values are determined based upon the present value of thereporting unit’s estimated future cash flows, including an estimate of the reporting unit’s terminal value based upon these cash flows, discounted at appropriaterisk-adjusted rates. We use our internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows which may include estimates of long-term future growth rates based upon our mostrecent reviews of the long-term outlook for each reporting unit. Cash flow estimates used to establish fair values under our income approach involve managementjudgments based on a broad range of information and historical results. In addition, external economic and competitive conditions can influence futureperformance. For purposes of the market approach, we use valuation multiples for companies comparable to our reporting units. The market approach requiresjudgment to determine the appropriate valuation multiples. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the implied fair value of goodwill isdetermined in the same manner as goodwill is recognized in a business combination. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the impliedfair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to such excess.
There were no accumulated impairment losses at September 30, 2016 and 2015 , and no provisions for goodwill or other intangible asset impairments wererecorded during Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 or Fiscal 2014 .
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Cost Basis Investments
We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not berecoverable. We evaluate recoverability based upon undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. No material provisions forimpairments were recorded during Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 or Fiscal 2014 .
F-17
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
We reduce the carrying values of our cost basis investments when we determine that a decline in fair value is other than temporary. No other-than-temporaryimpairment losses were recognized in Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 or Fiscal 2014 .
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2016, we adopted new accounting guidance regarding the classification of deferred debt issuance costs (see Note 3 ). Deferreddebt issuance costs associated with long-term debt are now reflected as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of such debt rather than as a deferred charge.Deferred debt issuance costs associated with line of credit facilities remain classified as other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are amortizingdeferred debt issuance costs over the terms of the related debt. Total deferred debt issuance costs at September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $40.8 and $36.3 ,respectively. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company has reflected $36.8 and $32.4 , respectively, of such costs as a reduction to long-term debt,including current maturities, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Refundable Tank and Cylinder Deposits
Included in other noncurrent liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets are customer paid deposits primarily on UGI France owned tanks and cylinders of$267.2 and $273.4 at September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Deposits are refundable to customers when the tanks or cylinders are returned in accordancewith contract terms.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to environmental laws and regulations intended to mitigate or remove the effects of past operations and improve or maintain the quality of theenvironment. These laws and regulations require the removal or remedy of the effect on the environment of the disposal or release of certain specified hazardoussubstances at current or former operating sites.
Environmental reserves are accrued when assessments indicate that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount can be reasonably estimated.Amounts recorded as environmental liabilities on the balance sheets represent our best estimate of costs expected to be incurred or, if no best estimate can be made,the minimum liability associated with a range of expected environmental investigation and remediation costs. Our estimated liability for environmentalcontamination is reduced to reflect anticipated participation of other responsible parties but is not reduced for possible recovery from insurance carriers. In thoseinstances for which the amount and timing of cash payments associated with environmental investigation and cleanup are reliably determinable, we discount suchliabilities to reflect the time value of money. We intend to pursue recovery of incurred costs through all appropriate means, including regulatory relief. UGI Gas,CPG and PNG receive ratemaking recognition of environmental investigation and remediation costs associated with their environmental sites. This ratemakingrecognition balances the accumulated difference between historical costs and rate recoveries with an estimate of future costs associated with the sites. For furtherinformation, see Note 15 .
Employee Retirement Plans
We use a market-related value of plan assets and an expected long-term rate of return to determine the expected return on assets of our U.S. pension and otherpostretirement plans. The market-related value of plan assets, other than equity investments, is based upon fair values. The market-related value of equityinvestments is calculated by rolling forward the prior-year’s market-related value with contributions, disbursements and the expected return on plan assets. Onethird of the difference between the expected and the actual value is then added to or subtracted from the expected value to determine the new market-related value(see Note 7 ).
Equity-Based Compensation
All of our equity-based compensation, principally comprising UGI stock options, grants of UGI stock-based equity instruments and grants of AmeriGas Partnersequity instruments (together with UGI stock-based equity instruments, “Units”), are measured at fair value on the grant date, date of modification or end of theperiod, as applicable. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Depending upon the settlement terms of theawards, all or a portion of the fair value of equity-based awards may be presented as a liability or as equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Equity-basedcompensation costs associated with the portion of Unit awards classified as equity are measured based upon their estimated fair value on the date of grant ormodification. Equity-based compensation costs associated with the portion of Unit awards classified as liabilities are measured based upon their estimated fairvalue at the grant date and remeasured as of the end of each period.

We have calculated a tax windfall pool using the shortcut method. We record deferred tax assets for awards that we expect will result in deductions on our incometax returns based on the amount of compensation cost recognized and the statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which we will receive a deduction. Differencesbetween the deferred tax assets recognized for financial reporting purposes and the actual tax benefit received on the income tax return are recorded in CommonStock (if the tax benefit exceeds the deferred tax asset) or in the Consolidated Statements of Income (if the deferred tax asset exceeds the tax benefit and no taxwindfall pool exists from previous awards). We expect to adopt new accounting guidance that simplifies and clarifies certain aspects of the accounting for andpresentation of share-based payments during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 (see Note 3).
For additional information on our equity-based compensation plans and related disclosures, see Note 13 .
Note 3 — Accounting Changes
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Presentation of Deferred Taxes. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company adopted new accounting guidance regarding the classification of deferredtaxes. The new guidance amends existing guidance to require that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet,and eliminates the prior guidance which required an entity to separate deferred tax liabilities and assets into a current amount and a noncurrent amount in aclassified balance sheet. We applied this guidance prospectively and, accordingly, balance sheets prior to Fiscal 2016 have not been reclassified.
Debt Issuance Costs. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company adopted new accounting guidance regarding the classification of debt issuance costs.This new guidance amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amountof the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. As required by the new guidance, prior period amounts have been reclassified. See Note 2 under “DeferredDebt Issuance Costs” for a description of the impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Cash Flow Classification. In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts andCash Payments.” This ASU provides guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in thisASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (Fiscal 2019). Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASUshould generally be adopted on a retrospective basis. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statements from the adoption of thenew guidance.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash.” This ASU provides guidance on the classification ofrestricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (Fiscal2019). Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASU should be adopted on a retrospective basis. The Company is in the process of assessing the impacton its financial statements from the adoption of the new guidance.
Employee Share-Based Payments . In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." ThisASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, andstatutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. Among other things, excess tax benefits and tax deficienciesassociated with share-based awards will be recognized as income tax benefit or expense in the income statement and the tax effects of exercised or vested awardswill be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. In addition, assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method used for computingdiluted shares outstanding will not include windfall tax benefits which could result in more incremental shares outstanding in the diluted shares calculation. TheCompany expects to adopt the new accounting guidance during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017. The amendments most likely to impact the Company, principallythose requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement and the impact on the treasury stock method in computing dilutedshares outstanding, will be applied prospectively. Based upon the number of share-based awards currently outstanding, we do not believe that the adoption of thenew guidance will have a material impact on diluted shares outstanding. The impact of the adoption of the new guidance on our net income will depend upon thetiming of the exercise or vesting of share-based awards as well as the amount of any associated excess tax benefits or deficiencies.
F-19
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." This ASU amends existing guidance to require entities that lease assets to recognize theassets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about theamount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows from leases. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,2018 (Fiscal 2020). Early adoption is permitted. Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, thebeginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statementsfrom the adoption of the new guidance but anticipates an increase in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The guidance provided under this ASU, asamended, supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance included in the ASC.The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the considerationto which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance is effective for the Company for interim and annual periodsbeginning after December 15, 2017 (Fiscal 2019) and allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. We have not yet selected atransition method and are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our financial statements.
Note 4 — Acquisitions
Acquisition of Totalgaz
On May 29, 2015 (the “Acquisition Date”), UGI, through its wholly owned indirect subsidiary, France SAS, acquired all of the outstanding shares of TotalgazSAS, a retail distributor of LPG in France, for €451.8 ( $496.6 ) in cash, including €30.0 ( $33.0 ) for estimated Acquisition Date working capital. In November2015, France SAS received €1.1 ( $1.2 ) of cash as a result of the completion of the final working capital amount. The Totalgaz Acquisition was consummatedpursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement dated November 11, 2014, between Total Marketing Services, a subsidiary of global energy company, Total,and France SAS. The Totalgaz Acquisition nearly doubles our retail LPG distribution business in France and is consistent with our growth strategies, one of whichis to grow our core business through acquisitions. The Totalgaz Acquisition was funded from existing cash balances and a portion of loan proceeds from FranceSAS’s May 29, 2015, issuance of a €600 term loan under its 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement (see Note 5).
The Company accounted for the Totalgaz Acquisition using the acquisition method. The components of the final Totalgaz purchase price allocation are as follows:
Assets acquired: Cash $ 86.8Accounts receivable (a) 170.3Prepaid expenses and other current assets 11.0Property, plant and equipment 375.6Intangible assets (b) 91.3Other assets 21.4
Total assets acquired $ 756.4
Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable 109.2Other current liabilities 103.5Deferred income taxes 117.5Other noncurrent liabilities 113.4
Total liabilities assumed $ 443.6Goodwill 183.8
Net consideration transferred (including working capital adjustments) $ 496.6
F-20
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
(a) Approximates the gross contractual amounts of receivables acquired.(b) Comprises $79.3 of customer relationships and $12.0 of tradenames ( $8.3 of which is subject to amortization), having average amortization periods of 15
years .
We allocated the purchase price of the acquisition to identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment based on estimated fair values as follows:
• Customer relationships were valued using a multi-period, excess earnings method. Key assumptions used in this method include discount rates, growthrates and cash flow projections. These assumptions are most sensitive and susceptible to change as they require significant management judgment;
• Tradenames were valued using the relief from royalty method, which estimates our theoretical royalty savings from ownership of the tradenames. Keyassumptions used in this method include discount rates, royalty rates, growth rates and sales projections. These assumptions are most sensitive andsusceptible to change as they require significant management judgment; and
• Property, plant and equipment were valued based on estimated fair values primarily using depreciated replacement cost and market value methods.
The excess of the purchase price for the Totalgaz Acquisition over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been reflected as goodwill,assigned to the UGI France reportable segment, and results principally from anticipated synergies and value creation resulting from the Company’s combined LPGbusinesses in France. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
The Company recognized $16.1 of direct transaction-related costs associated with the Totalgaz Acquisition during Fiscal 2015, which are reflected primarily inoperating and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The acquisition of Totalgaz did not have a material impact on the Company’srevenues or net income attributable to UGI for the year ended September 30, 2015.
The following table presents unaudited pro forma revenues, net income attributable to UGI Corporation and earnings per share data for Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014as if the Totalgaz Acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma consolidated information reflects the historical results of Totalgaz SASand its subsidiaries after giving effect to adjustments directly attributable to the transaction, including depreciation, amortization, interest expense, intercompanyeliminations and related income tax effects. The unaudited pro forma net income also reflects the effects of the issuance of the €600 term loan under France SAS’s2015 Senior Facilities Agreement and the associated repayment of the term loan outstanding under Antargaz’ 2011 Senior Facilities Agreement as if suchtransactions had occurred on October 1, 2013. Amounts in the table below exclude costs associated with extinguishment of debt under Antargaz’ 2011 SeniorFacilities Agreement (see Note 5 ):

In connection with the Totalgaz Acquisition, the Company agreed with the French Competition Authority (the “FCA”) to divest certain assets and investments ofTotalgaz SAS and certain assets of Antargaz located in France no later than August 15, 2016. The time period has been extended for a few additional months forthe purpose of finalizing certain proposed sales; to the extent
F-21
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
that certain properties are not sold, an alternative remedy will apply. Following the closing of the Totalgaz Acquisition, two competitors in the French LPGdistribution market challenged the decision of the FCA. The competitors’ request for interim measures suspending the effectiveness of the agreed remedies wasdenied by the supreme administrative court (Conseil d’Etat). In July 2016, the Conseil d’Etat confirmed the decision of the FCA in part, but directed the FCA toconduct further analysis as to certain assets and to consider further remedies with respect to the assets that were previously identified for divestiture. The Companyis in the process of preparing an appropriate filing addressing these issues for submission to the FCA. Although we cannot predict the final results of this matter,we believe that the final outcome of the proceedings will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other Acquisitions
During Fiscal 2016, Flaga and AvantiGas acquired several LPG distribution businesses in Austria, Norway and the United Kingdom for $24.1 in cash andAmeriGas OLP acquired several retail propane distribution businesses for $37.6 in cash.
During Fiscal 2015, Flaga acquired an LPG distribution business in Hungary for $17.6 in cash and AmeriGas OLP acquired several retail propane distributionbusinesses for $20.8 in cash.
During Fiscal 2014, Energy Services acquired a retail natural gas marketing business located principally in western Pennsylvania from EQT Energy, LLC, anaffiliate of EQT Corporation, for $20.0 in cash and AmeriGas OLP acquired several retail propane distribution businesses for $15.7 in cash.

AmeriGas Propane
The AmeriGas Propane Credit Agreement provides for borrowings up to $525 (including a $125 sublimit for letters of credit) and permits AmeriGas OLP toborrow at prevailing interest rates, including the base rate, defined as the higher of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the agent bank’s prime rate, or at a one-week, or one-, two-, three-, or six-month Eurodollar Rate, as defined in the AmeriGas Propane Credit Agreement, plus a margin. Under the AmeriGas PropaneCredit Agreement, the applicable margin on base rate borrowings ranges from 0.50% to 1.50% ; the applicable margin on Eurodollar Rate borrowings ranges from1.50% to 2.50% ; and the facility fee ranges from 0.30% to 0.45% . The aforementioned margins and facility fees are dependent upon AmeriGas Partners’ ratio ofdebt to earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (each as defined in the AmeriGas Propane Credit Agreement). The AmeriGasPropane Credit Agreement expires in June 2019 . The weighted-average interest rates on AmeriGas OLP borrowings under the AmeriGas Propane CreditAgreement at September 30, 2016 and 2015 , were 2.79% and 2.20% , respectively. At September 30, 2016 and 2015 , issued and outstanding letters of credit,which reduce available borrowings under this credit agreement, totaled $67.2 and $64.7 , respectively.
In June 2016, AmeriGas Partners issued in an underwritten offering $675 principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due May 2024 and $675 principal amount of5.875% Senior Notes due August 2026 (collectively, the “AmeriGas 2016 Senior Notes”). The AmeriGas 2016 Senior Notes rank equally with AmeriGas Partners’existing outstanding senior notes. The net proceeds from the issuance of the AmeriGas 2016 Senior Notes were used (1) for the early repayment, pursuant to tenderoffers and notices of redemption, of all of AmeriGas Partners’ 6.50% Senior Notes, 6.75% Senior Notes and 6.25% Senior Notes, having an aggregate principalbalance of $1,270.0 plus accrued and unpaid interest and early redemption premiums and (2) for general corporate purposes. During Fiscal 2016, the Partnershiprecognized a loss of $48.9 associated with the early repayment of these senior notes, primarily comprising $38.9 of early redemption premiums and the write-off of$9.3 of unamortized debt issuance costs. The loss is reflected in “Loss on extinguishments of debt” on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The effective interest rate on the HOLP Notes is 6.75% . The HOLP Senior Secured Notes are collateralized by AmeriGas OLP’s receivables, contracts,equipment, inventory, general intangibles and cash.
Restrictive Covenants. The AmeriGas Propane Credit Agreement restricts the incurrence of additional indebtedness and also restricts certain liens, guarantees,investments, loans and advances, payments, mergers, consolidations, asset transfers, transactions with affiliates, sales of assets, acquisitions and other transactions.The AmeriGas Propane Credit Agreement requires that AmeriGas OLP and AmeriGas Partners maintain ratios of total indebtedness to EBITDA, as defined, belowcertain thresholds. In addition, the Partnership must maintain a minimum ratio of EBITDA to interest expense, as defined and as calculated on a rolling four-quarter basis. Generally, as long as no default exists or would result therefrom, AmeriGas OLP is permitted to make cash distributions
F-24
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
not more frequently than quarterly in an amount not to exceed available cash, as defined, for the immediately preceding calendar quarter.
The AmeriGas Partners Senior Notes restrict the ability of the Partnership and AmeriGas OLP to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, makeinvestments, incur liens, issue preferred interests, prepay subordinated indebtedness, and effect mergers, consolidations and sales of assets. Under the AmeriGasPartners Senior Notes Indentures, AmeriGas Partners is generally permitted to make cash distributions equal to available cash, as defined, as of the end of theimmediately preceding quarter, if certain conditions are met. At September 30, 2016 , these restrictions did not limit the amount of Available Cash. See Note 14 forthe definition of Available Cash included in the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of AmeriGas Partners, L.P., as amended(“Partnership Agreement”).
The HOLP Senior Secured Notes contain restrictive covenants including the maintenance of financial covenants and limitations on the disposition of assets,changes in ownership, additional indebtedness, restrictive payments and the creation of liens. The financial covenants require AmeriGas OLP to maintain a ratio ofConsolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined) below certain thresholds and to maintain a minimum ratio of Consolidated EBITDA toConsolidated Interest Expense (as defined).
UGI International
UGIFrance
On April 30, 2015, France SAS entered into a new five -year Senior Facilities Agreement with a consortium of banks consisting of a €600 variable-rate term loanand a €60 revolving credit facility (“2015 Senior Facilities Agreement”) in anticipation of its then-pending acquisition of Totalgaz, which was consummated onMay 29, 2015 (see Note 4 ). The 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement revolving credit facility can be used by each of France SAS’s wholly owned subsidiaries,Antargaz and Finagaz, for up to €30 each. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at market rates (one-, two-, three-, or six-month euribor) plusa margin. The margin on credit facility borrowings ranges from 1.45% to 2.55% based upon France SAS’s ratio of consolidated total net debt to EBITDA, asdefined in the 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement. The 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement expires in April 2020 .
On May 29, 2015, France SAS borrowed €600 ( $659.6 ) under the 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement. The term loan proceeds were used (1) to fund a portion ofthe Totalgaz Acquisition, including related fees and expenses; (2) to make a capital contribution from France SAS to its wholly owned subsidiary, AGZ Holding,to prepay €342 principal amount, plus accrued interest, outstanding under Antargaz’ 2011 Senior Facilities Agreement due March 2016 (the “2011 Senior FacilitiesAgreement”); (3) to settle Antargaz’ existing pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps associated with the 2011 Senior Facilities Agreement; and (4) forgeneral corporate purposes. Principal amounts outstanding under the 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement term loan are due as follows: €60 due April 30, 2018; €60due April 30, 2019; and €480 due April 30, 2020. As a result of prepaying the term loan outstanding under the 2011 Senior Facilities Agreement and concurrentlysettling the associated pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps, we recorded a pre-tax loss of $10.3 comprising a $9.0 loss on interest rate swaps and thewrite-off of $1.3 of debt issuance costs. These amounts are included in interest expense on the Fiscal 2015 Consolidated Statement of Income.
Borrowings under the 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement €600 term loan bear interest at rates per annum comprising the aggregate of the applicable margin and theassociated euribor rate, which euribor rate has a floor of zero . The margin on term loan borrowings (which ranges from 1.60% to 2.70% ) are dependent upon theratio of France SAS’ consolidated total net debt to EBITDA, each as defined in the 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement. At September 30, 2016, such margin was1.90% . France SAS has entered into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps through April 30, 2019, to fix the underlying euribor rate on term loanborrowings at 0.18% . At September 30, 2016 and 2015, the effective interest rate on the 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement term loan was approximately 2.10%and 2.70% , respectively.
Flaga
In October 2015, Flaga entered into a €100.8 Credit Facility Agreement (“Flaga Credit Facility Agreement”) with a bank. The Flaga Credit Facility Agreementincludes a €25 multi-currency revolving credit facility, a €5 overdraft facility, a €25 guarantee facility and a €45.8 term loan facility. Concurrent with entering intothe Flaga Credit Facility Agreement, Flaga terminated its then-existing €46 multi-currency working capital facility. The Flaga Credit Facility Agreement revolvingcredit facility borrowings bear interest at market rates (generally one, three or six-month euribor rates) plus margins. The margins on revolving facility borrowings,which range from 1.45% to 3.65% , are based upon the actual currency borrowed and certain consolidated equity, return on assets and debt to EBITDA ratios, asdefined in the Flaga Credit Facility Agreement. Facility fees on the unused amount
F-25
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
of the revolving credit facility are 30% of the lowest applicable margin. The Flaga Credit Facility Agreement terminates in October 2020 .
In October 2015, borrowings under the Flaga Credit Facility Agreement’s €45.8 term loan were used to refinance a €19.1 ( $21.4 ) term loan and a €26.7 ( $29.8 )term loan. The €45.8 ( $51.4 ) term loan bears interest at three-month euribor rates, plus a margin and other fees. The margins and other fees on such borrowingsrange from 1.20% to 2.60% and are based upon certain consolidated equity, return on assets and debt to EBITDA ratios as defined, as well as fees defined by thelocal jurisdiction. The effective interest rate on this term loan at September 30, 2016, was 2.11% . At September 30, 2015, the effective interest rates on the €19.1and €26.7 term loans were 3.40% and 4.21% , respectively. Flaga has entered into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps that generally fix the underlyingmarket rate at 0.23% , effective October 2016. Because the cash flows associated with the refinancing of the then-existing term loans were with the same bank,such cash flows have been reflected “net” on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
In September 2015, Flaga terminated its then-existing $52 U.S. dollar-denominated variable-rate term loan due September 2016 and concurrently entered into a$59.1 U.S. dollar-denominated variable-rate term loan with the same bank. The $59.1 term loan matures in September 2018. Because the cash flows from thetermination of the $52 term loan and the concurrent issuance of the $59.1 term loan were with the same bank, such cash flows have been reflected “net” in thefinancing activities section of the Fiscal 2015 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The $59.1 term loan bears interest at a one-month LIBOR rate plus a marginof 1.125% . Flaga has effectively fixed the LIBOR component of the interest rate, and has effectively fixed the U.S. dollar value of the interest and principalpayments payable under the $59.1 term loan, by entering into a cross-currency swap arrangement with a bank. At September 30, 2016 and 2015, the effectiveinterest rate on the $59.1 term loan was 0.87% .
Restrictive Covenants and Guarantees. The 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement restricts the ability of France SAS to, among other things, incur additionalindebtedness, make investments, incur liens, and effect mergers, consolidations and sales of assets, and requires France SAS and its consolidated subsidiaries tomaintain a ratio of total net debt to EBITDA, each as defined in the 2015 Senior Facilities Agreement, that shall not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 as determinedsemiannually.

Borrowings under the Flaga Credit Facility Agreement are guaranteed by UGI. The Flaga term loans and associated interest rate and cross-currency swapagreements are guaranteed by UGI. In addition, under certain conditions regarding changes in certain financial ratios of UGI, the lending banks may acceleraterepayment of the debt.
UGI Utilities
The UGI Utilities Credit Agreement provides for borrowings up to $300 and includes a $100 sublimit for letters of credit. Under the UGI Utilities CreditAgreement, UGI Utilities may borrow at various prevailing market interest rates, including LIBOR and the banks’ prime rate, plus a margin. The margin on suchborrowings ranges from 0.0% to 1.75% and is based upon the credit ratings of certain indebtedness of UGI Utilities. The UGI Utilities Credit Agreement isscheduled to expire in March 2020 . The weighted-average interest rates on UGI Utilities borrowings under the UGI Utilities Credit Agreement at September 30,2016 and 2015 , were 1.42% and 1.07% , respectively. At September 30, 2016 and 2015 , issued and outstanding letters of credit, which reduce availableborrowings under this credit agreement, totaled $2.0 and $2.0 , respectively.
In April 2016, UGI Utilities entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “2016 Note Purchase Agreement”) with a consortium of lenders. Pursuant to the 2016Note Purchase Agreement, UGI Utilities issued $100 aggregate principal amount of 2.95% Senior Notes due June 2026 and $200 aggregate principal amount of4.12% Senior Notes due September 2046 in June 2016 and September 2016, respectively. In October 2016, UGI Utilities issued $100 aggregate principal amountof 4.12% Senior Notes due October 2046. The net proceeds of the issuance of these senior notes were used (1) to repay UGI Utilities’ maturing 5.75% SeniorNotes, 7.37% Medium-term Notes and 5.64% Medium-term Notes; (2) to provide additional financing for UGI Utilities’ infrastructure replacement and bettermentcapital program and the information technology initiatives; and (3) for general corporate purposes. The UGI Utilities Senior Notes are unsecured and rank equallywith UGI Utilities’ existing outstanding senior debt.
Restrictive Covenants. The UGI Utilities Credit Agreement requires UGI Utilities not to exceed a ratio of Consolidated Debt to Consolidated Total Capital, asdefined, of 0.65 to 1.00. Certain of UGI Utilities’ Senior Notes include the usual and customary covenants for similar types of notes including, among others,maintenance of existence, payment of taxes when due, compliance with laws and maintenance of insurance. These Senior Notes also contain restrictive andfinancial covenants including a requirement that UGI Utilities not exceed a ratio of Consolidated Debt to Consolidated Total Capital, as defined, of 0.65 to 1.00.

Energy Services
In February 2016, Energy Services, LLC entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Energy Services Credit Agreement"), as borrower,with a group of lenders providing for borrowings up to $240 , including a $50 sublimit for letters of credit. The Energy Services Credit Agreement can be used forgeneral corporate purposes of Energy Services, LLC and its subsidiaries. Energy Services, LLC may not pay a dividend unless, after giving effect to such dividendpayment, the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to EBITDA, each as defined in the Energy Services Credit Agreement, does not exceed 3.00 to 1.00.Borrowings under the Energy Services Credit Agreement bear interest at either (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin or (ii) a rate derived from LIBOR(“Adjusted LIBOR”) plus a margin. The Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Energy Services Credit Agreement) is the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) thefederal funds rate plus 0.50% , and (c) Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00% . The margin on such borrowings is currently 2.25% . There were no borrowings outstandingunder the Energy Services Credit Agreement at September 30, 2016. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under Energy Services, LLC’sprior credit agreement at September 30, 2015 was 2.75% . The Energy Services Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Energy Services, LLC.
Restrictive Covenants. The Energy Services Credit Agreement requires that Energy Services, LLC and subsidiaries not exceed a ratio of total indebtedness toEBITDA, as defined, of 3.50 to 1.00, and maintain a minimum ratio of EBITDA to interest expense, as defined, of 3.50 to 1.00.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. Energy Services, LLC has a receivables purchase facility (“Receivables Facility”) with an issuer of receivables-backed commercial paper currently scheduled to expire in October 2017. The Receivables Facility, as amended, provides Energy Services, LLC with the ability toborrow up to $150 of eligible receivables during the period November to April, and up to $75 of eligible receivables during the period May to October. EnergyServices, LLC uses the Receivables Facility to fund working capital, margin calls under commodity futures contracts, capital expenditures, dividends and forgeneral corporate purposes.
Under the Receivables Facility, Energy Services, LLC 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 major bank. Amounts sold to the bank arereflected as short-term borrowings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. ESFC was created and has been structured to isolate its assets from creditors of EnergyServices, LLC and its affiliates, including UGI. Trade receivables sold to the bank remain on the Company’s balance sheet and the Company reflects a liabilityequal to the amount advanced by the bank. The Company records interest expense on amounts owed to the bank. Energy Services continues to service, administerand collect trade receivables on behalf of the bank, as applicable. Losses on sales of receivables to the bank during Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 ,which amounts are included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income, were not material.
Information regarding the amounts of trade receivables transferred to ESFC and the amounts sold to the bank during Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 , aswell as the balance of ESFC trade receivables at September 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 follows:
2016 2015 2014Trade receivables transferred to ESFC during the year $ 756.4 $ 1,037.8 $ 1,260.6ESFC trade receivables sold to the bank during the year 204.0 306.5 354.0ESFC trade receivables - end of year (a) 35.7 44.1 46.4(a) The amounts of ESFC trade receivables sold to the bank are reflected as short-term borrowings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Restricted Net Assets
At September 30, 2016 , the amount of net assets of UGI’s consolidated subsidiaries that was restricted from transfer to UGI under debt agreements, subsidiarypartnership agreements and regulatory requirements under foreign laws totaled approximately $1,600 .

In December 2013, the French Parliament approved the Finance Bill for 2014 and amended the Finance Bill for 2013 (collectively, the “Finance Bills”). Amongother things, the Finance Bills limit UGI France’s ability to deduct certain interest expense for income tax purposes and temporarily increase the corporate surtaxrate for a period of two years . Based upon our review of the Finance Bills and interpretive guidance, provisions of the Finance Bills associated with thedeductibility of certain interest expense at UGI France apply retroactively to such interest expense incurred during Fiscal 2013. In December 2013, the Companyrecorded
F-28
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
additional income taxes of $5.7 to reflect the effects of the retroactive provisions of the Finance Bills, which are included in effects of foreign operations in theeffective tax rate table above.
Earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are generally subject to U.S. taxation upon repatriation to the U.S. and the Company’s tax provisions reflect therelated incremental U.S. tax except for certain foreign subsidiaries whose unremitted earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. At September 30, 2016 ,unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries of approximately $81.7 were deemed to be indefinitely reinvested. No deferred tax liability has been recognized withregard to the remittance of such earnings. Because of the availability of U.S. foreign tax credits, it is likely no U.S. tax would be due if such earnings wererepatriated.
Pennsylvania utility ratemaking practice permits the flow through to ratepayers of state tax benefits resulting from accelerated tax depreciation. For Fiscal 2016 ,Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 , the beneficial effects of state tax flow through of accelerated depreciation reduced income tax expense by $1.3 , $1.5 and $2.0 ,respectively.
Deferred tax liabilities (assets) comprise the following at September 30:
2016 2015Excess book basis over tax basis of property, plant and equipment $ 873.9 $ 798.4Investment in AmeriGas Partners 323.2 321.4Intangible assets and goodwill 87.1 87.1Utility regulatory assets 148.3 117.4Other 11.9 8.9Gross deferred tax liabilities 1,444.4 1,333.2

Net deferred tax liabilities $ 1,199.6 $ 1,142.7
At September 30, 2016 , foreign net operating loss carryforwards principally relating to Flaga, UGI International Holdings BV and certain operations of UGIFrance totaled $52.4 , $2.5 and $21.4 , respectively, with no expiration dates. We have state net operating loss carryforwards primarily relating to certainsubsidiaries which approximate $179.4 and expire through 2036 . We also have operating loss carryforwards of $22.4 for certain operations of AmeriGas Propanethat expire through 2036 . At September 30, 2016 , deferred tax assets relating to operating loss carryforwards include $9.7 for Flaga, $7.6 for UGI France, $0.6 forUGI International Holdings BV, $8.6 for AmeriGas Propane and $5.0 for certain other subsidiaries.
In 2016, the Company reversed valuation allowances associated with certain state tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5.5 as a result of certaintax planning strategies that were related to legal entity classification. A valuation allowance of $0.2 remains for deferred tax assets related to other state netoperating loss carryforwards and other state deferred tax assets of certain subsidiaries because, on a state reportable basis, it is more likely than not that these assetswill expire unused. A valuation allowance of $9.0 also exists for deferred tax assets related to certain operations of UGI France, Flaga and UGI InternationalHoldings BV. Operating activities and tax deductions related to the exercise of non-qualified stock options contributed to the state net operating losses disclosedabove. We first recognize the utilization of state net operating losses from operations (which exclude the impact of tax deductions for exercises of non-qualifiedstock options) to reduce income tax expense. Then, to the extent state net operating loss carryforwards, if realized, relate to non-qualified stock option deductions,the resulting benefits are credited to
F-29
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
UGI Corporation stockholders’ equity. The table of deferred tax assets and liabilities do not include $7.7 for Fiscal 2016 and $6.5 for Fiscal 2015 of deferred taxassets and associated valuation allowance for unrealized state tax benefits for equity compensation deductions.
We have foreign tax credit carryforwards of approximately $105.1 expiring through 2026 resulting from the actual and planned repatriation of UGI France’saccumulated earnings since acquisition which are includable in U.S. taxable income. Because we expect that these credits will expire unused, a valuation allowancehas been provided for the entire foreign tax credit carryforward amount. The valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets decreased by $17.0 in Fiscal 2016 dueto decreases in unusable foreign tax credits of $8.8 , foreign operating loss carryforwards of $2.0 and unusable state operating loss tax benefits of $6.2 .
We conduct business and file tax returns in the U.S., numerous states, local jurisdictions and in France and certain other European countries. Our U.S. federalincome tax returns are settled through the 2012 tax year, our French tax returns are settled through the 2012 tax year, our Austrian tax returns are settled through2013 and our other European tax returns are effectively settled for various years from 2007 to 2014. State and other income tax returns in the U.S. are generallysubject to examination for a period of three to five years after the filing of the respective returns.
As of September 30, 2016 , we have unrecognized income tax benefits totaling $7.2 including related accrued interest of $0.3 . If these unrecognized tax benefitswere subsequently recognized, $5.8 would be recorded as a benefit to income taxes on the Consolidated Statement of Income and, therefore, would impact thereported effective tax rate. Generally, a net reduction in unrecognized tax benefits could occur because of the expiration of the statute of limitations in certainjurisdictions or as a result of settlements with tax authorities. There is no material change expected in unrecognized tax benefits and related interest in the nexttwelve months.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
2016 2015 2014Unrecognized tax benefits - beginning of year $ 3.2 $ 2.4 $ 3.4Additions for tax positions of the current year 2.2 0.9 0.7Additions for tax positions taken in prior years 2.3 0.5 —Settlements with tax authorities/statute lapses (0.5) (0.6) (1.7)
Unrecognized tax benefits - end of year $ 7.2 $ 3.2 $ 2.4
Note 7 — Employee Retirement Plans
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
In the U.S., we sponsor a defined benefit pension plan for employees hired prior to January 1, 2009, of UGI, UGI Utilities, PNG, CPG and certain of UGI’s otherdomestic wholly owned subsidiaries (“U.S. Pension Plan”). U.S. Pension Plan benefits are based on years of service, age and employee compensation.
We also provide postretirement health care benefits to certain retirees and postretirement life insurance benefits to nearly all U.S. active and retired employees. Inaddition, UGI France employees are covered by certain defined benefit pension and postretirement plans. Although the disclosures in the tables below includeamounts related to the UGI France plans, such amounts are not material.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the projected benefit obligations (“PBOs”) of the U.S. Pension Plan and the UGI France pension plans, theaccumulated benefit obligations (“ABOs”) of our other postretirement benefit plans, plan assets, and the funded status of pension and other postretirement plans asof September 30, 2016 and 2015 . ABO is the present value of benefits earned to date with benefits based upon current compensation levels. PBO is ABOincreased to reflect estimated future compensation.

In Fiscal 2017 , we estimate that we will amortize approximately $17.0 of net actuarial losses, primarily associated with the U.S. Pension Plan, and $0.5 of netprior service credits from UGI stockholders’ equity and regulatory assets into retiree benefit cost.
Actuarial assumptions for our U.S. plans are described below. Assumptions for the UGI France plans are based upon market conditions in France, Belgium and theNetherlands. The discount rate assumption was determined by selecting a hypothetical portfolio of high quality corporate bonds appropriate to provide for theprojected benefit payments of the plans. The discount rate was then developed as the single rate that equates the market value of the bonds purchased to thediscounted value of the
F-31

plans’ benefit payments. The expected rate of return on assets assumption is based on current and expected asset allocations as well as historical and expectedreturns on various categories of plan assets (as further described below).

The U.S. Pension Plan’s assets are held in trust and consist principally of publicly traded, diversified equity and fixed income mutual funds and, to a much lesserextent, smallcap common stocks and UGI Common Stock. It is our general policy to fund amounts for U.S. Pension Plan benefits equal to at least the minimumrequired contribution set forth in applicable employee benefit laws. From time to time we may, at our discretion, contribute additional amounts. During Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 , we made cash contributions to the U.S. Pension Plan of $9.9 , $11.1 and $19.2 respectively. The minimum required contributions inFiscal 2017 are not expected to be material.
UGI Utilities has established a Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (“VEBA”) trust to pay retiree health care and life insurance benefits by depositinginto the VEBA the annual amount of postretirement benefits costs, if any, determined under GAAP. The difference between such amount and amounts included inUGI Gas’ and Electric Utility’s rates is deferred for future recovery from, or refund to, ratepayers. Any required contributions to the VEBA during Fiscal 2017 arenot expected to be material.

A one percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rate would not have a material impact on the Fiscal 2016 other postretirement benefit cost orSeptember 30, 2016 , other postretirement benefit ABO.
We also sponsor unfunded and non-qualified supplemental executive defined benefit retirement plans (“Supplemental Defined Benefit Plans”). At September 30,2016 and 2015 , the PBOs of these plans, including obligations for amounts held in grantor trusts, were $47.4 and $40.1 , respectively. We recorded pre-tax costsfor these plans of $2.6 in Fiscal 2016 , $2.3 in Fiscal 2015 and $2.6 in Fiscal 2014 . These costs are not included in the tables above. Amounts recorded in UGI’sstockholders’ equity for these plans include pre-tax losses of $13.0 and $10.1 at September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, principally representing unrecognizedactuarial losses. We expect to amortize approximately $1.2 of such pre-tax actuarial losses into retiree benefit cost in Fiscal 2017 . During Fiscal 2016 and 2014 theCompany made payments with respect to the Supplemental Defined Benefit Plans totaling $0.4 and $0.3 , respectively. There were no such payments made inFiscal 2015. The total fair value of the grantor trust investment assets associated with the Supplemental Defined Benefit Plans, which are included in other assetson the Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $28.4 and $26.1 at September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.
U.S. Pension Plan and VEBA Assets
The assets of the U.S. Pension Plan and the VEBA are held in trust. The investment policies and asset allocation strategies for the assets in these trusts aredetermined by an investment committee comprising officers of UGI and UGI Utilities. The overall investment objective of the U.S. Pension Plan and the VEBA isto achieve the best long-term rates of return within prudent and reasonable levels of risk. To achieve the stated objective, investments are made principally inpublicly traded, diversified equity and fixed income mutual funds and, to a much lesser extent, smallcap common stocks and UGI Common Stock. Assetsassociated with the UGI France plans are excluded from the disclosures in the tables below as such assets are not material.

Domestic equity investments include investments in large-cap mutual funds indexed to the S&P 500, actively managed mid- and small-cap mutual funds, and aseparately managed account comprising small-cap common stocks. Investments in international equity mutual funds seek to track performance of companiesprimarily in developed markets. The fixed income investments comprise investments designed to match the performance and duration of the Barclays U.S.Aggregate Index. According to statute, the aggregate holdings of all qualifying employer securities may not exceed 10% of the fair value of trust assets at the timeof purchase. UGI Common Stock represented 8.0% and 10.1% of U.S. Pension Plan assets at September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

The expected long-term rates of return on U.S. Pension Plan and VEBA trust assets have been developed using a best estimate of expected returns, volatilities andcorrelations for each asset class. The estimates are based on historical capital market performance data and future expectations provided by independentconsultants. Future expectations are determined by using simulations that provide a wide range of scenarios of future market performance. The market conditionsin these simulations consider the long-term relationships between equities and fixed income as well as current market conditions at the start of the simulation. Theexpected rate begins with a risk-free rate of return with other factors being added such as inflation, duration, credit spreads and equity risk premiums. The rates ofreturn derived from this process are applied to our target asset allocation to develop a reasonable return assumption.
Defined Contribution Plans
We sponsor 401(k) savings plans for eligible employees of UGI and certain of UGI’s domestic subsidiaries. Generally, participants in these plans may contribute aportion of their compensation on either a before-tax basis, or on both a before-tax and after-tax basis. These plans also provide for employer matching contributionsat various rates. The cost of benefits under the savings plans totaled $14.3 in Fiscal 2016 , $15.2 in Fiscal 2015 and $14.7 in Fiscal 2014 . The Company alsosponsors certain nonqualified supplemental defined contribution executive retirement plans. These plans generally provide supplemental benefits to certainexecutives that would otherwise be provided under retirement plans but are prohibited due to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Companymakes payments to self-directed grantor trusts with respect to these supplemental defined contribution plans. Such payments during Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 orFiscal 2014 were not material. At September 30, 2016 and 2015 , the total fair values of the grantor trust investment assets, which amounts are included in othernoncurrent assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $4.6 and $4.2 , respectively.
Note 8 — Utility Regulatory Assets and Liabilities and Regulatory Matters
The following regulatory assets and liabilities associated with Gas Utility and Electric Utility are included in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets atSeptember 30:
2016 2015Regulatory assets: Income taxes recoverable $ 115.7 $ 115.9Underfunded pension and postretirement plans 183.1 140.8Environmental costs (a) 59.4 20.0Removal costs, net 27.9 21.2Other 9.0 6.3
Total regulatory assets $ 395.1 $ 304.2
Regulatory liabilities (b): Postretirement benefit overcollections $ 17.5 $ 20.0Deferred fuel and power refunds 22.3 36.6State income tax benefits — distribution system repairs 15.1 13.3Other 0.7 1.1
Total regulatory liabilities $ 55.6 $ 71.0(a) Balance at September 30, 2016, includes amounts associated with UGI Gas’ Consent Order and Agreement with the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection (see Note 15 ).(b) Regulatory liabilities are recorded in other current and other noncurrent liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other than removal costs, UGI Utilities does not recover a rate of return on the regulatory assets included in the table above.
Income taxes recoverable . This regulatory asset is the result of recording deferred tax liabilities pertaining to temporary tax differences principally as a result ofthe pass through to ratepayers of the tax benefit on accelerated tax depreciation for state income tax purposes, and the flow through of accelerated tax depreciationfor federal income tax purposes for certain years prior to 1981. These deferred taxes have been reduced by deferred tax assets pertaining to utility deferredinvestment tax credits. UGI Utilities has recorded regulatory income tax assets related to these deferred tax liabilities representing future revenues recoverable
F-36
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
through the ratemaking process over the average remaining depreciable lives of the associated property ranging from 1 to approximately 65 years.
Underfunded pension and other postretirement plans . This regulatory asset represents the portion of net actuarial losses and prior service cost associated withpension and other postretirement benefits which are probable of being recovered through future rates based upon established regulatory practices. These regulatoryassets are adjusted annually or more frequently under certain circumstances when the funded status of the plans is recorded in accordance with GAAP. These costsare amortized over the average remaining future service lives of plan participants.
Environmental costs . Environmental costs principally represent estimated probable future environmental remediation and investigation costs that UGI Gas, CPGand PNG expect to incur, primarily at Manufactured Gas Plant (“MGP”) sites in Pennsylvania, in conjunction with remediation consent orders and agreements withthe Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Pursuant to base rate orders, UGI Gas, PNG and CPG receive ratemaking recognition of estimatedenvironmental investigation and remediation costs associated with their environmental sites. This ratemaking recognition balances the accumulated differencebetween historical costs and rate recoveries with an estimate of future costs associated with the sites. At September 30, 2016 , the period over which UGI Gas,PNG and CPG expect to recover these costs will depend upon future remediation activity. For additional information on environmental costs, see Note 15 .
Removal costs, net . This regulatory asset represents costs incurred, net of salvage, associated with the retirement of depreciable utility plant. Consistent with priorratemaking treatment, UGI Utilities expects to recover these costs over 5 years .
Postretirement benefit overcollections . This regulatory liability represents the difference between amounts recovered through rates by UGI Gas and ElectricUtility and actual costs incurred in accordance with accounting for postretirement benefits. With respect to UGI Gas, these overcollections will be refunded tocustomers over a ten -year period beginning October 19, 2016, the date UGI Gas’ Joint Petition pursuant to its January 19, 2016 base rate filing became effective(see “UGI Gas Base Rate Filing” below). With respect to Electric Utility, the difference between the amounts recovered through rates and the actual costs incurredin accordance with accounting for postretirement benefits is being deferred for future rate refund to customers.
Deferred fuel and power refunds. Gas Utility’s and Electric Utility’s tariffs contain clauses that permit recovery of all prudently incurred purchased gas and powercosts through the application of purchased gas cost (“PGC”) rates in the case of Gas Utility and default service (“DS”) tariffs in the case of Electric Utility. Theclauses provide for periodic adjustments to PGC and DS rates for differences between the total amount of purchased gas and electric generation supply costscollected from customers and recoverable costs incurred. Net undercollected costs are classified as a regulatory asset and net overcollections are classified as aregulatory liability.
Gas Utility uses derivative instruments to reduce volatility in the cost of gas it purchases for firm- residential, commercial and industrial (“retail core-market”)customers. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on natural gas derivative instruments are included in deferred fuel costs or refunds. Net unrealized gains (losses)on such contracts at September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $4.3 and $(3.3) , respectively.
Electric Utility enters into forward electricity purchase contracts to meet a substantial portion of its electricity supply needs. At September 30, 2016 and 2015 ,substantially all Electric Utility forward electricity purchase contracts were subject to the NPNS exception (see Note 17 ).
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 instruments that entitle the holder to receive compensation for electricity transmission congestion charges when there is insufficientelectricity transmission capacity on the electric transmission grid. Because Electric Utility is entitled to fully recover its DS costs, realized and unrealized gains orlosses on FTRs are included in deferred fuel and power costs or deferred fuel and power refunds. Unrealized gains or losses on FTRs at September 30, 2016 and2015 , were not material.
State income tax benefits — distribution system repairs. This regulatory liability represents Pennsylvania state income tax benefits, net of federal benefit,resulting from the deduction for income tax purposes of repair and maintenance costs associated with Gas Utility or Electric Utility assets which are capitalized forregulatory and GAAP reporting. The tax benefits associated with these repair and maintenance deductions will be reflected as a reduction to income tax expenseover the remaining tax lives of the related book assets.
F-37
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
Other . Other regulatory assets comprise a number of deferred items including, among others, a portion of preliminary stage information technology costs, energyefficiency conservation costs and rate case expenses. At September 30, 2016 , UGI Utilities expects to recover these costs over periods of approximately 1 to 20years.
Other Regulatory Matters
Preliminary Stage Information Technology Costs. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, we determined that certain preliminary project stage costs associatedwith an ongoing information technology project at UGI Utilities were probable of future recovery in rates in accordance with GAAP related to regulated entities.As a result, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, we capitalized $5.8 of such project costs ( $5.4 of which had been expensed prior to Fiscal 2016) andrecorded associated increases to utility property, plant and equipment ( $2.7 ) and regulatory assets ( $3.1 ). Subsequent to this determination, we continue tocapitalize such preliminary stage project costs in accordance with GAAP related to regulated entities.
UGI Gas Base Rate Filing. On January 19, 2016, UGI Utilities filed a rate request with the PUC to increase UGI Gas’s annual base operating revenues forresidential, commercial and industrial customers by $58.6 . The increased revenues would fund ongoing system improvements and operations necessary tomaintain safe and reliable natural gas service. On June 30, 2016, a Joint Petition for Approval of Settlement of all issues providing for a $27.0 UGI Gas annualbase distribution rate increase, to be effective October 19, 2016, was filed with the PUC (“Joint Petition”). On October 14, 2016, the PUC approved the JointPetition with a minor modification which had no effect on the $27.0 base distribution rate increase. The increase became effective on October 19, 2016.
Distribution System Improvement Charge. On April 14, 2012, legislation became effective enabling gas and electric utilities in Pennsylvania, under certaincircumstances, to recover the cost of eligible capital investment in distribution system infrastructure improvement projects between base rate cases. The chargeenabled by the legislation is known as a distribution system improvement charge (“DSIC”). The primary benefit to a company from a DSIC charge is theelimination of regulatory lag, or delayed rate recognition, that occurs under traditional ratemaking relating to qualifying capital expenditures. To be eligible for aDSIC, a utility must have filed a general rate filing within five years of its petition seeking permission to include a DSIC in its tariff, and not exceed certainearnings tests. Absent PUC permission, the DSIC is capped at five percent of the amount billed to customers. PNG and CPG received PUC approval on a DSICtariff, initially set at zero , in 2014. PNG and CPG began charging a DSIC at a rate other than zero beginning on April 1, 2015 and April 1, 2016, respectively. InMarch 2016, PNG and CPG filed petitions, seeking approval to increase the maximum allowable DSIC from five percent to ten percent of billed distributionrevenues. To date, no action has been taken by the PUC on either of these petitions. The Company cannot predict the timing or outcome of these petitions. OnNovember 9, 2016, UGI Gas received PUC approval to establish a DSIC tariff mechanism effective January 1, 2017. Revenue collected pursuant to the mechanismwill be subject to refund and recoupment based on the PUC’s final resolution of certain matters set aside for hearing before an administrative law judge. Tocommence recovery of revenue under the mechanism, UGI Gas must first place into service a threshold level of DSIC-eligible plant agreed upon in the settlementof its recent base rate case. Achievement of that threshold is not likely to occur prior to September 30, 2017.
Note 9 — Inventories
Inventories comprise the following at September 30:
2016 2015Non-utility LPG and natural gas $ 129.8 $ 140.7Gas Utility natural gas 29.2 37.5Materials, supplies and other 51.3 61.7
Total inventories $ 210.3 $ 239.9
At September 30, 2016 , UGI Utilities was a party to three principal storage contract administrative agreements (“SCAAs”) having terms of three years. Pursuantto SCAAs, UGI Utilities has, among other things, released certain storage and transportation contracts for the terms of the SCAAs. UGI Utilities also transferredcertain associated storage inventories upon commencement of the SCAAs, will receive a transfer of storage inventories at the end of the SCAAs, and makespayments associated with refilling storage inventories during the terms of the SCAAs. The historical cost of natural gas storage inventories released under theSCAAs, which represents a portion of Gas Utility’s total natural gas storage inventories, and any exchange receivable (representing amounts

Equity-Based Compensation
The Company grants equity-based awards to employees and non-employee directors comprising UGI stock options, UGI Common Stock-based equity instrumentsand AmeriGas Partners Common Unit-based equity instruments as further described below. We recognized total pre-tax equity-based compensation expense of$23.8 ( $15.4 after-tax), $29.2 ( $18.9 after-tax) and $25.8 ( $16.6 after-tax) in Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 , respectively.
UGI Equity-Based Compensation Plans and Awards. On January 24, 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved the UGI Corporation 2013 Omnibus IncentiveCompensation Plan (the “2013 OICP”). The 2013 OICP succeeds the UGI Corporation 2004 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan Amended and Restated as ofDecember 5, 2006 (the “2004 OECP”) for awards granted on or after January 24, 2013. The 2004 OECP will continue in effect but all future grants issued pursuantto it will be solely in the form of options to acquire Common Stock. Under the 2013 OICP, we may grant options to acquire shares of UGI Common Stock, stockappreciation rights (“SARs”), UGI Units (comprising “Stock Units” and “UGI Performance Units”), other equity-based awards and cash to employees and non-employee directors. The exercise price for options may not be less than the fair market value on the grant date. Awards granted under the 2013 OICP may vestimmediately or ratably over a period of years, and stock options can be exercised no later than ten years from the grant date. In addition, the 2013 OICP providesthat awards of UGI Units may also provide for the crediting of dividend equivalents to participants’ accounts. Except in the event of retirement, death or disability,each grant, unless paid, will terminate when the participant ceases to be employed. There are certain change of control and retirement eligibility conditions that, ifmet, generally result in accelerated vesting or elimination of further service requirements.
Under the 2004 OECP, we could grant options to acquire shares of UGI Common Stock, UGI Units and other equity-based awards to employees and non-employee directors through January 23, 2013 (except with respect to the granting of stock option awards as previously mentioned). Under the 2004 OECP, theexercise price for stock options could not be less than the fair market value on the grant date. Awards granted under the 2004 OECP could vest immediately orratably over a period of years, and stock options could be exercised no later than ten years from the date of grant. In addition, the 2004 OECP provided that theawards of UGI Units could include the crediting of dividend equivalents to participants’ accounts.
Under the 2013 OICP, awards representing up to 21,750,000 shares of UGI Common Stock may be granted. Dividend equivalents on UGI Unit awards toemployees will be paid in cash. Dividend equivalents on non-employee director awards are accumulated in additional Stock Units. UGI Unit awards granted toemployees and non-employee directors are settled in shares of Common Stock and cash. Substantially all UGI Unit awards granted to UGI France employees aresettled in shares of Common Stock and do not accrue dividend equivalents. With respect to UGI Performance Unit awards, the actual number of shares (or theircash equivalent) ultimately issued, and the actual amount of dividend equivalents paid, is generally dependent upon the achievement
F-41
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
of market performance goals and service conditions. It is currently our practice to issue treasury shares to satisfy substantially all option exercises and UGI Unitawards. Stock options may be net exercised whereby shares equal to the option price and the grantee’s minimum applicable payroll tax withholding are withheldfrom the number of shares payable (“net exercise”). We record shares withheld pursuant to a net exercise as shares reacquired.

The expected life of option awardsrepresents the period of time during which option grants are expected to be outstanding and is derived from historical exercise patterns. Expected volatility is basedon historical volatility of the price of UGI’s Common Stock. Expected dividend yield is based on historical UGI dividend rates. The risk free interest rate is basedon U.S. Treasury bonds with terms comparable to the options in effect on the date of grant.
The assumptions we used for valuing option grants during Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 are as follows:

UGI Unit Awards . UGI Stock Unit and UGI Performance Unit awards entitle the grantee to shares of UGI Common Stock or cash once the service condition ismet and, with respect to UGI Performance Unit awards, subject to market performance conditions. UGI Performance Unit grant recipients are awarded a targetnumber of Performance Units. The number of UGI Performance Units ultimately paid at the end of the performance period (generally three years) may be higher orlower than the target amount, or even zero, based on UGI’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) percentile rank relative to the Russell Midcap Utility Index,excluding telecommunication companies (“UGI comparator group”). For grants issued on or after January 1, 2013, grantees may receive 0% to 200% of the targetaward granted. For such grants, if UGI’s TSR ranks below the 25th percentile compared to the UGI comparator group, the employee will not be paid. At the 25thpercentile, the employee will be paid an award equal to 25% of the target award; at the 40th percentile, 70% ; at the 50th percentile, 100% ; and at the 90thpercentile and above, 200% . For grants issued prior to January 1, 2013, grantees may receive 0% to 200% of the target award granted. For such grants, if UGI’sTSR ranks below the 40th percentile compared to the UGI comparator group, the employee will not be paid. At the 40th percentile, the employee will be paid anaward equal to 50% of the target award; at the 50th percentile, 100% ; and at the 100th percentile, 200% . The actual amount of the award is interpolated betweenthese percentile rankings. Dividend equivalents are paid in cash only on UGI Performance Units that eventually vest.
The fair value of UGI Stock Units on the grant date is equal to the market price of UGI Stock on the grant date plus the fair value of dividend equivalents ifapplicable. Under GAAP, UGI Performance Units are equity awards with a market-based condition which, if settled in shares, results in the recognition ofcompensation cost over the requisite employee service period regardless of whether the market-based condition is satisfied. The fair values of UGI PerformanceUnits are estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The fair value associated with the target award is accounted for as equity and the fair value of the awardover the target, as well as all dividend equivalents, is accounted for as a liability. The expected term of the UGI Performance Unit awards is three years based onthe performance period. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of UGI Common Stock over a three -year period. The risk-free interest rate is basedon the yields on U.S. Treasury bonds at the time of grant. Volatility for all companies in the UGI comparator groups is based on historical volatility.
The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions used to determine the fair value of UGI Performance Unit awards and related compensationcosts:
Grants Awarded in Fiscal Year 2016 2015 2014Risk free rate 1.3% 1.1% 0.8%Expected life 3 years 3 years 3 yearsExpected volatility 17.5% 15.9% 20.3%Dividend yield 2.7% 2.3% 2.7%
The weighted-average grant date fair value of UGI Performance Unit awards was estimated to be $32.64 for Units granted in Fiscal 2016 , $38.43 for Units grantedin Fiscal 2015 and $32.32 for Units granted in Fiscal 2014 .

AmeriGas Partners Equity-Based Compensation Plans and Awards. Under the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan on Behalf of AmeriGasPartners, L.P. (“2010 Propane Plan”), the General Partner may award to employees and non-employee directors grants of AmeriGas Partners Units (comprising“AmeriGas Stock Units” and “AmeriGas Performance Units”), options, phantom units, unit appreciation rights and other Common Unit-based awards. The totalaggregate number of Common Units that may be issued under the 2010 Propane Plan is 2,800,000 . The exercise price for options may not be less than the fairmarket value on the date of grant. Awards granted under the 2010 Propane Plan may vest immediately or ratably over a period of years, and options can beexercised no later than ten years from the grant date. In addition, the 2010 Propane Plan provides that Common Unit-based awards may also provide for thecrediting of Common Unit distribution equivalents to participants’ accounts.
AmeriGas Stock Unit and AmeriGas Performance Unit awards entitle the grantee to AmeriGas Partners Common Units or cash once the service condition is metand, with respect to AmeriGas Performance Units, subject to market performance conditions, and for certain awards granted on or after January 1, 2015, actual netcustomer acquisition and retention performance. Recipients of AmeriGas Performance Unit awards are awarded a target number of AmeriGas Performance Units.The number of AmeriGas Performance Units ultimately paid at the end of the performance period (generally three years ) may be higher or lower than the targetnumber, or it may be zero. For that portion of Performance Unit awards whose ultimate payout is based upon market-based conditions (as further described below),the number of awards ultimately paid is based upon AmeriGas Partners’ Total Unitholder Return (“TUR”) percentile rank relative to entities in a master limitedpartnership peer group (“Alerian MLP Group”) and, for certain AmeriGas Performance Unit awards granted beginning in January 2014, based upon AmeriGasPartners’ TUR relative to the two other publicly traded propane master limited partnerships in the Alerian MLP Group (“Propane MLP Group”). For PerformanceUnit awards granted on or after January 1, 2015, the number of AmeriGas Performance Units ultimately paid is based upon AmeriGas Partner’s TUR percentilerank relative to entities in the Alerian MLP Group as modified by AmeriGas Partners’ performance relative to the Propane MLP Group.
With respect to AmeriGas Performance Unit awards subject to measurement compared with the Alerian MLP Group, grantees may receive from 0 % to 200 % ofthe target award granted. For such grants issued on or after January 1, 2013, if AmeriGas Partners’ TUR is below the 25th percentile compared to the peer group,the grantee will not be paid. At the 25th percentile, the employee will be paid an award equal to 25 % of the target award; at the 40th percentile, 70 %; at the 50thpercentile, 100 %; at the 60th percentile, 125 %; at the 75th percentile, 162.5 %; and at the 90th percentile or above, 200 %. The actual amount of the award isinterpolated between these percentile rankings. For such grants issued on or after January 1, 2015, the amount ultimately paid shall be modified based uponAmeriGas Partners’ TUR ranking relative to the Propane MLP Group over the performance period (“MLP Modifier”). Such modification ranges from 70 % to 130%, but in no event shall the amount ultimately paid, after such modification, exceed 200 % of the target award grant.
With respect to AmeriGas Performance Unit awards granted in January 2014 subject to measurement compared with the Propane MLP Group, grantees willreceive 150% of the target award if AmeriGas Partners’ TUR exceeds the TUR of all the other members in the Propane MLP Group. Otherwise there will be nopayout of such AmeriGas Performance Units. If one of the other two members of the Propane MLP Group ceases to exist as a publicly traded company or declaresbankruptcy (“MLP Event”) and depending upon the timing of such MLP Event, the ultimate amount of such AmeriGas Performance Unit awards to be issuedpursuant to the January 2014 grant, and the amount of distribution equivalents to be paid, will depend upon AmeriGas Partners’ TUR rank relative to (1) theAlerian MLP Group for the entire performance period; (2) the Alerian MLP Group for the entire performance period and the Propane MLP Group (through thedate of the MLP Event); or (3) the Propane MLP Group through the date of the MLP Event. For those performance awards granted on or after January 1, 2015, thatare subject to the MLP Modifier, if an MLP Event were to occur during the performance period such MLP Modifier would be based upon AmeriGas Partners’TUR rank as determined in (1),(2) or (3) above, as appropriate.
With respect to AmeriGas Performance Unit awards granted in January 2015 whose payout is based upon net customer gain and retention performance, granteesmay ultimately receive between 0 % and 200 % of the target award based upon the annual actual net customer gain and retention performance as adjusted for thenet customer gain and retention performance over the three -year performance period. With respect to AmeriGas Performance Unit awards granted in January 2016whose payout is based upon net customer gain and retention performance, grantees may ultimately receive between 0% and 200% of the target award based uponthe actual net customer gain and retention performance over the entire three -year performance period.
Any Common Unit distribution equivalents earned are paid in cash. Generally, except in the event of retirement, death or disability, each grant, unless paid, willterminate when the participant ceases to be employed by the General Partner. There are certain change of control and retirement eligibility conditions that, if met,generally result in accelerated vesting or elimination of further service requirements.

Under GAAP, AmeriGas Performance Units awards that are subject to market-based conditions are equity awards that, if settled in Common Units, result in therecognition of compensation cost over the requisite employee service period regardless of whether the market-based condition is satisfied. The fair values ofAmeriGas Performance Units subject to market-based conditions are estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The fair value associated with the targetaward, which will be paid in Common Units, is accounted for as equity and the fair value of the award over the target, as well as all Common Unit distributionequivalents, which will be paid in cash, is accounted for as a liability. For purposes of valuing AmeriGas Performance Unit awards that are subject to market-basedconditions, expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Common Units over a three -year period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rates onU.S. Treasury bonds at the time of grant. Volatility for all entities in the peer group is based on historical volatility. The expected term of the AmeriGasPerformance Unit awards is three years based on the performance period. AmeriGas Performance Unit awards whose ultimate payout is based upon net customeracquisition and retention performance measures are recorded as expense when it is probable all or a portion of the award will be paid. The fair value associatedwith the target award is the market price of the Common Units on the date of grant. The fair value of the award over the target, as well as all Common Unitdistribution equivalents, which will be paid in cash, is accounted for as a liability.
The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used to determine the fair value of AmeriGas Performance Unit awards subject to market-basedconditions and related compensation costs:

The General Partner granted awards under the 2010 Propane Plan representing 73,080 , 80,336 and 86,458 Common Units in Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal2014 , respectively, having weighted-average grant date fair values per Common Unit subject to award of $36.61 , $61.00 and $43.34 , respectively. AtSeptember 30, 2016 , 2,348,046 Common Units were available for future award grants under the 2010 Propane Plan.

As of September 30, 2016 , there was a total of approximately $1.8 of unrecognized compensation cost associated with 210,549 Common Units subject to awardthat is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years . The total fair values of Common Unit-based awards that vested during Fiscal 2016 ,Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 were $2.0 , $2.6 and $4.1 , respectively. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015 , total liabilities of $3.5 and $3.3 associated withCommon Unit-based awards are reflected in employee compensation and benefits accrued and other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. It isthe Partnership’s practice to issue new AmeriGas Partners Common Units for the portion of any Common Unit-based awards paid in AmeriGas Partners CommonUnits.
Note 14 — Partnership Distributions
The Partnership makes distributions to its partners approximately 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter in a total amount equal to its Available Cash (asdefined in the Partnership Agreement) for such quarter. Available Cash generally means:
F-47
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
1. all cash on hand at the end of such quarter, plus2. all additional cash on hand as of the date of determination resulting from borrowings after the end of such quarter, less3. the amount of cash reserves established by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion.
The General Partner may establish reserves for the proper conduct of the Partnership’s business and for distributions during the next four quarters.
Distributions of Available Cash are made 98% to limited partners and 2% to the General Partner (representing a 1% General Partner interest in AmeriGas Partnersand 1.01% interest in AmeriGas OLP) until Available Cash exceeds the Minimum Quarterly Distribution of $0.55 and the First Target Distribution of $0.055 perCommon Unit (or a total of $0.605 per Common Unit). When Available Cash exceeds $0.605 per Common Unit in any quarter, the General Partner will receive agreater percentage of the total Partnership distribution (the “incentive distribution”) but only with respect to the amount by which the distribution per CommonUnit to limited partners exceeds $0.605 .
During Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 , the Partnership made quarterly distributions to Common Unitholders in excess of $0.605 per limited partnerunit. As a result, the General Partner has received a greater percentage of the total Partnership distribution than its aggregate 2% general partner interest inAmeriGas OLP and AmeriGas Partners. During Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 , the total amount of distributions received by the General Partner withrespect to its aggregate 2% general partner ownership interests totaled $47.4 , $39.3 and $32.4 , respectively. Included in these amounts are incentive distributionsreceived by the General Partner during Fiscal 2016 , Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 of $38.2 , $30.4 and $23.9 , respectively.
Note 15 — Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
We lease various buildings and other facilities and vehicles, computer and office equipment under operating leases. Certain of our leases contain renewal andpurchase options and also contain step-rent provisions. Our aggregate rental expense for such leases was $102.0 in Fiscal 2016 , $86.1 in Fiscal 2015 and $79.7 inFiscal 2014 .
Minimum future payments under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable terms in excess of one year are as follows:

Our businesses enter into contracts of varying lengths and terms to meet their supply, pipeline transportation, storage, capacity and energy needs. Gas Utilitycurrently has gas supply agreements with producers and marketers with terms not exceeding 16 months. Gas Utility also has agreements for firm pipelinetransportation and natural gas storage services, which Gas Utility may terminate at various dates through Fiscal 2030 . Gas Utility’s costs associated withtransportation and storage capacity agreements are included in its annual PGC filings with the PUC and are recoverable through PGC rates. In addition, Gas Utilityhas short-term gas supply agreements which permit it to purchase certain of its gas supply needs on a firm or interruptible basis at spot-market prices. ElectricUtility purchases its electricity needs under contracts with various suppliers and on the spot market. Contracts with producers for energy needs expire at variousdates through Fiscal 2017 . Midstream & Marketing enters into fixed-price contracts with suppliers to purchase natural gas and electricity to meet its salescommitments. Generally, these contracts have terms of less than two years. The Partnership enters into fixed-price and variable-price contracts to purchase aportion of its supply requirements. These contracts currently have terms that do not exceed three years. UGI International enters into fixed-price and variable-priced contracts to purchase a portion of its supply requirements that currently do not exceed three years.

UGI Utilities
From the late 1800s through the mid-1900s, UGI Utilities and its current and former subsidiaries owned and operated a number of manufactured gas plants(“MGPs”) prior to the general availability of natural gas. Some constituents of coal tars and other residues of the manufactured gas process are today consideredhazardous substances under the Superfund Law and may be present on the sites of former MGPs. Between 1882 and 1953, UGI Utilities owned the stock ofsubsidiary gas companies in Pennsylvania and elsewhere and also operated the businesses of some gas companies under agreement. By the early 1950s, UGIUtilities divested all of its utility operations other than certain Pennsylvania operations, including those which now constitute UGI Gas and Electric Utility. UGIUtilities also has two acquired subsidiaries (CPG and PNG) which have similar histories of owning, and in some cases operating, MGPs in Pennsylvania.
UGI Utilities and its subsidiaries have entered into agreements with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) to address the remediationof former MGPs in Pennsylvania. CPG is party to a Consent Order and Agreement (“CPG-COA”) with the DEP requiring CPG to perform a specified level ofactivities associated with environmental investigation and remediation work at certain properties in Pennsylvania on which 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 RemediationConsent Order and Agreement (“PNG-COA”) with the DEP. The PNG-COA requires PNG to perform annually a specified level of activities associated withenvironmental investigation and remediation work at certain properties on which MGP-related facilities were operated (“PNG MGP Properties”). Under theseagreements, required environmental expenditures relating to the CPG MGP Properties and the PNG MGP Properties are capped at $1.8 and $1.1 , respectively, inany calendar year. The CPG-COA is scheduled to terminate at the end of 2018. The PNG-COA terminates in 2019 but may be terminated by either party effectiveat the end of any two -year period beginning with the original effective date in March 2004. At September 30, 2016 and 2015 , our accrued liabilities for estimatedenvironmental investigation and remediation costs related to the CPG-COA and the PNG-COA totaled $11.3 and $13.8 , respectively. CPG and PNG haverecorded associated regulatory assets for these costs because recovery of these costs from customers is probable (see Note 8 ).
In May 2016, UGI Gas executed a Consent Order and Agreement (“UGI Gas-COA”) with the DEP with an effective date of October 1, 2016. The UGI Gas-COAwill terminate in September 2031 if not extended by the parties. The UGI Gas-COA requires UGI Gas to perform a specified level of activities associated withenvironmental investigation and remediation work at certain properties in Pennsylvania on which MGP related facilities were operated (“UGI Gas MGPProperties”). Under this agreement, required environmental expenditures related to the UGI Gas MGP Properties are capped at $2.5 in any calendar year. AtSeptember 30, 2016 , our estimated accrued liabilities for environmental investigation and remediation costs related to the UGI Gas-COA totaled $43.7 . UGI Gashas recorded an associated regulatory asset for these costs because recovery of these costs from customers is probable (see Note 8 ).
We do not expect the costs for investigation and remediation of hazardous substances at Pennsylvania MGP sites to be material to UGI Utilities’ results ofoperations because UGI Gas, CPG and PNG receive ratemaking recognition of estimated environmental
F-49
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
investigation and remediation costs associated with their environmental sites. This ratemaking recognition balances the accumulated difference between historicalcosts and rate recoveries with an estimate of future costs associated with the sites.
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 Utilitiesor owned or operated by its former subsidiaries. Such parties generally investigate the extent of environmental contamination or perform environmentalremediation. Management believes that under applicable law UGI Utilities should not be liable in those instances in which a former subsidiary owned or operatedan MGP. There could be, however, significant future costs of an uncertain amount associated with environmental damage caused by MGPs outside Pennsylvaniathat 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’sseparate corporate form should be disregarded, or (2) UGI Utilities should be considered to have been an operator because of its conduct with respect to itssubsidiary’s MGP. At September 30, 2016 , neither the undiscounted nor the accrued liability for environmental investigation and cleanup costs for UGI UtilitiesMGP sites outside of Pennsylvania was material.
Other Matters
Purported Class Action Lawsuits. In connection with the Partnership’s 2012 acquisition of the subsidiaries of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”) thatoperated ETP’s propane distribution business (“Heritage Propane”), the Partnership became party to a class action lawsuit that was filed against HeritageOperating, L.P. in 2005 by Alfred L. Williams, II, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated. The class action lawsuit alleged, among other things,wrongful collection of tank rental payments from legacy customers of People’s Gas, which was acquired by Heritage Propane in 2000. In 2010, the Florida DistrictCourt certified the class and in January 2015, the Florida District Court awarded the class approximately $18 . In April 2016, the Partnership appealed the verdictto the Florida Second District Court of Appeals (the “Second DCA”) and, in September 2016, the Second DCA affirmed the verdict without opinion. Prior to theSecond DCA’s action in the case, we believed that the likelihood of the Second DCA affirming the Florida District Court’s decision was remote. As a result of theSecond DCA’s actions, in September 2016, the Partnership recorded a $15.0 adjustment to its litigation accrual to reflect the full amount of the award plusassociated interest. In October 2016, the Partnership filed a Motion for Written Opinion and for Rehearing En Banc with the Second DCA, which motions are stillpending. We believe we have strong arguments to support the aforementioned motions.
Between May and October of 2014, more than 35 purported class action lawsuits were filed in multiple jurisdictions against the Partnership/UGI Corporation and acompetitor by certain of their direct and indirect customers. The class action lawsuits allege, among other things, that the Partnership and its competitor colluded,beginning in 2008, to reduce the fill level of portable propane cylinders from 17 pounds to 15 pounds and combined to persuade their common customer, WalmartStores, Inc., to accept that fill reduction, resulting in increased cylinder costs to retailers and end-user customers in violation of federal and certain state antitrustlaws. The claims seek treble damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees and costs on behalf of the putative classes. On October 16, 2014, the United States JudicialPanel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred all of these purported class action cases to the Western Division of the United States District Court for the WesternDistrict of Missouri (“District Court”). In July 2015, the District Court dismissed all claims brought by direct customers and all claims other than those forinjunctive relief brought by indirect customers. The direct customers filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit (“EighthCircuit”) and in August 2016, the Eighth Circuit affirmed the District Court’s dismissal of the direct customer’s claims against the Partnership/UGI Corporation.The direct customers filed a petition requesting an en banc review of the Eighth Circuit decision, which is still pending. The indirect customers filed an amendedcomplaint claiming injunctive relief and state law claims under Wisconsin, Maine and Vermont law. In September 2016, the District Court dismissed the amendedcomplaint in its entirety. The indirect purchasers appealed this decision to the Eighth Circuit, and the appeal is still pending. On July 21, 2016, several new indirectpurchaser plaintiffs filed an antitrust class action lawsuit against the Partnership in the Western District of Missouri. The new indirect purchaser class actionlawsuit was dismissed in September 2016 and certain indirect purchaser plaintiffs appealed this decision, consolidating their appeal with the indirect purchaserappeal that is pending in the Eighth Circuit. We are unable to reasonably estimate the impact, if any, arising from such litigation. We believe we have strongdefenses to the claims and intend to vigorously defend against them.
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 cannotpredict the final results of these pending claims and legal actions, we believe, after consultation with counsel, that the final outcome of these matters will not have amaterial effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 16 — Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents, on a gross basis, our financial assets and liabilities including both current and noncurrent portions, that are measured at fair value on arecurring basis within the fair value hierarchy as described in Note 2 , as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 :
Asset (Liability) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 TotalSeptember 30, 2016: Derivative instruments: Assets:
Commodity contracts $ 28.9 $ 26.0 $ — $ 54.9Foreign currency contracts $ — $ 17.8 $ — $ 17.8

September 30, 2015 Derivative instruments: Assets:
Commodity contracts $ 17.4 $ 11.6 $ — $ 29.0Foreign currency contracts $ — $ 29.1 $ — $ 29.1Cross-currency swaps $ — $ 0.4 $ — $ 0.4
Liabilities: Commodity contracts $ (70.0) $ (99.0) $ — $ (169.0)Foreign currency contracts $ — $ (0.1) $ — $ (0.1)Interest rate contracts $ — $ (10.8) $ — $ (10.8)
Non-qualified supplemental postretirement grantor trustinvestments (a) $ 30.3 $ — $ — $ 30.3(a) Consists primarily of mutual fund investments held in grantor trusts associated with non-qualified supplemental retirement plans (see Note 7 ).
The fair values of our Level 1 exchange-traded commodity futures and option contracts and non-exchange-traded commodity futures and forward contracts arebased upon actively quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities. The remainder of our derivative instruments are designated as Level 2. The fair valuesof certain non-exchange traded commodity derivatives designated as Level 2 are based upon indicative price quotations available through brokers, industry pricepublications or recent market transactions and related market indicators. For commodity option contracts designated as Level 2 that are 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 our Level 2 interest ratecontracts, foreign currency contracts and cross-currency contracts are based upon third-party quotes or indicative values based on recent market transactions. Thefair values of investments held in grantor trusts
F-51
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
are derived from quoted market prices as substantially all of the investments in these trusts have active markets. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level2 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) approximatetheir fair values because of their short-term nature. At September 30, 2016 , the carrying amount and estimated fair value of our long-term debt (including currentmaturities but excluding unamortized debt issuance costs) were $3,832.3 and $4,052.3 , respectively. At September 30, 2015 , the carrying amount and estimatedfair value of our long-term debt (including current maturities but excluding unamortized debt issuance costs) were $3,699.8 and $3,803.1 , respectively. Weestimate 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 instruments, such as short-term investments and trade accounts receivable, could expose us to concentrations of creditrisk. We limit credit risk from short-term investments by investing only in investment-grade commercial paper, money market mutual funds, securities guaranteedby the U.S. Government or its agencies and FDIC insured bank deposits. The credit risk arising from concentrations of trade accounts receivable is limited becausewe have a large customer base that extends across many different U.S. markets and a number of foreign countries. For information regarding concentrations ofcredit risk associated with our derivative instruments, see Note 17 . Our investment in a private equity partnership is measured at fair value on a non-recurringbasis. Generally this measurement uses Level 3 fair value inputs because the investment does not have a readily available market value.
Note 17 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We are exposed to certain market risks associated with our business operations. Management uses derivative financial and commodity instruments, among otherthings, to manage these risks. The primary risks managed by derivative instruments are (1) commodity price risk, (2) interest rate risk, and (3) foreign currencyexchange rate risk. Although we use derivative financial and commodity instruments to reduce market risk associated with forecasted transactions, we do not usederivative financial and commodity instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The use of derivative instruments is controlled by our risk management andcredit policies, which govern, among other things, the derivative instruments we can use, counterparty credit limits and contract authorization limits. Althoughsome of our commodity derivative instruments extend over a number of years, a significant portion of our commodity derivative instruments economically hedgecommodity price risk during the next twelve months. For information on the accounting for our derivative instruments, see Note 2 .
Commodity Price Risk
Regulated Utility Operations
NaturalGas
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 thecost 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 Utilitycurrently uses New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) natural gas futures and option contracts to reduce commodity price volatility associated with a portionof the natural gas it purchases for its retail core-market customers. Gains and losses on Gas Utility’s natural gas futures contracts and natural gas option contractsare recorded in regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets because it is probable such gains or losses will be recoverable from, orrefundable to, customers through the PGC recovery mechanism (see Note 8 ).
Electricity
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 instrumentsused to hedge electricity costs. Electric Utility enters into forward electricity purchase contracts to meet a substantial portion of its electricity supply needs. AtSeptember 30, 2016 and 2015 , substantially all of such contracts qualified for the NPNS exception under GAAP.
In order to reduce volatility associated with a substantial portion of its electricity transmission congestion costs, Electric Utility obtains FTRs through an annualallocation process. Gains and losses on Electric Utility FTRs are recorded in regulatory assets or
F-52
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
liabilities in accordance with GAAP because it is probable such gains or losses will be recoverable from, or refundable to, customers through the DS mechanism(see Note 8 ).
Non-utility Operations
LPG
In order to manage market price risk associated with the Partnership’s fixed-price programs, the Partnership uses over-the-counter derivative commodityinstruments, principally price swap contracts. In addition, the Partnership, certain other domestic business units 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. The Partnership fromtime to time enters into price swap and put option agreements to reduce the effects of short-term commodity price volatility.
NaturalGas
In order to manage market price risk relating to fixed-price sales contracts for natural gas, Midstream & Marketing enters into NYMEX and over-the-counternatural gas futures and forward contracts and Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”) natural gas basis swap contracts. In addition, Midstream & Marketing usesNYMEX futures contracts to economically hedge the gross margin associated with the purchase and anticipated later near-term sale of natural gas or propane.Because it could no longer assert the NPNS exception under GAAP for new contracts entered into for the forward purchase of natural gas and pipelinetransportation, beginning in the second quarter of Fiscal 2014 Energy Services began recording these contracts at fair value with changes in fair value reflected incost of sales.
Electricity
In order to manage market price risk relating to fixed-price sales contracts for electricity, Midstream & Marketing enters into electricity futures and forwardcontracts. Midstream & Marketing also uses NYMEX and over-the-counter electricity futures contracts to economically hedge the price of a portion of itsanticipated future sales of electricity from its electric generation facilities. From time to time, Midstream & Marketing purchases FTRs to economically hedgeelectricity transmission congestion costs associated with its fixed-price electricity sales contracts and also enters into New York Independent System Operator(“NYISO”) capacity swap contracts to economically hedge the locational basis differences for customers it serves on the NYISO electricity grid.
Interest Rate Risk
France SAS’ and Flaga’s long-term debt agreements have interest rates that are generally indexed to short-term market interest rates. France SAS and Flaga haveeach entered into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreements to hedge the underlying euribor rates of interest on their variable-rate term loans. TheFrance SAS swaps were originally executed in Fiscal 2015, at which time such swaps were designated in a cash flow hedging relationship associated with €600notional amount of term loan debt issued in conjunction with the Totalgaz Acquisition. In March 2016, France SAS amended the terms of its pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreements associated with the €600 term loan debt to purchase a 0% floor that is identical to the 0% floor embedded in France SAS’term loan debt. In conjunction with the amendments, in March 2016 France SAS paid its interest rate swap counterparties €7.7 , which amount substantiallyequaled the interest rate swaps’ fair value. Concurrent with the amendments to the interest rate swaps, the swaps were simultaneously de-designated and re-designated as cash flow hedges of future anticipated interest payments associated with the €600 term loan debt. The amended swaps fix the underlying euribor rateon the €600 term loan at 0.18% .
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 withnew debt having interest rates reflecting then-current market conditions. In order to reduce market rate risk on the underlying benchmark rate of interest associatedwith near- to medium-term forecasted issuances of fixed-rate debt, from time to time we enter into interest rate protection agreements (“IRPAs”). On March 31,2016, concurrent with the pricing of UGI Utilities’ Senior Notes to be issued under the 2016 Note Purchase Agreement, UGI Utilities settled all of its then-existingIRPA contracts associated with such debt at a loss of $36.0 . Because these IRPA contracts qualified for and were designated as cash flow hedges, the lossrecognized in connection with the settled IRPAs was recorded in AOCI and will be recognized in interest expense as the associated future interest expense impactsearnings. See Note 5 for additional information on UGI Utilities 2016 Note Purchase Agreement.
F-53
Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
We account for interest rate swaps and IRPAs as cash flow hedges. At September 30, 2016 , 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 $3.4 .
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Forwardforeigncurrencyexchangecontracts
In order to reduce exposure to foreign exchange rate volatility related to certain of our foreign LPG operations, we hedge a portion of their anticipated U.S. dollar-denominated LPG product purchases primarily during the heating-season months of October thru March through the use of forward foreign currency exchangecontracts. From time to time we also enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the volatility of the U.S. dollar value of a portion of ourInternational Propane euro-denominated net investments.
We account for foreign currency exchange contracts associated with anticipated purchases of U.S. dollar-denominated LPG as cash flow hedges. At September 30,2016 , the amount of net gains associated with currency rate risk expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months based upon current fairvalues is $11.5 .
Cross-CurrencySwaps
From time to time, Flaga enters into cross-currency swaps to hedge its exposure to the variability in expected future cash flows associated with the foreign currencyand interest rate risk of U.S. dollar-denominated debt. These cross-currency hedges include initial and final exchanges of principal from a fixed euro denominationto a fixed U.S. dollar-denominated amount, to be exchanged at a specified rate, which was determined by the market spot rate on the date of issuance. These cross-currency swaps also include interest rate swaps of a fixed foreign-denominated interest rate to a fixed U.S. dollar-denominated interest rate. We designate thesecross-currency swaps as cash flow hedges.
At September 30, 2016 , the amount of net losses associated with this cross-currency swap expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve monthsis not material.

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 principallycomprise large energy companies and major U.S. and international financial institutions. We maintain credit policies with regard to our counterparties that webelieve reduce overall credit risk. These policies include evaluating and monitoring our counterparties’ financial condition, including their credit ratings, andentering into agreements with counterparties that govern credit limits or entering into netting agreements that allow for offsetting counterparty receivable andpayable balances for certain financial transactions, as deemed appropriate. Certain of these agreements call for the posting of collateral by the counterparty or bythe Company in the forms of letters of credit, parental guarantees or cash. Additionally, our commodity exchange-traded futures contracts generally require cashdeposits in margin accounts. At September 30, 2016 and 2015 , restricted cash in brokerage accounts totaled $15.6 and $54.9 , respectively. Although we haveconcentrations of credit risk associated with derivative instruments, 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 not material at September 30, 2016 . Certain of thePartnership’s derivative contracts have credit-risk-related contingent features that may require the posting of additional collateral in the event of a downgrade ofthe Partnership’s debt rating. At September 30, 2016 , if the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered, the amount of collateral required to be postedwould not be material.

Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
Offsetting Derivative Assets and Liabilities
Derivative assets and liabilities (and cash collateral received and pledged) are presented net by counterparty on the Consolidated Balance Sheets if the right ofoffset exists. Our derivative instruments include both those that are executed on an exchange through brokers and centrally cleared and over-the-countertransactions. Exchange contracts utilize a financial intermediary, exchange, or clearinghouse to enter, execute, or clear the transactions. Over-the-counter contractsare bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with a third party. Certain over-the-counter and exchange contracts contain contractual rights of offset throughmaster netting arrangements, derivative clearing agreements, and contract default provisions. In addition, the contracts are subject to conditional rights of offsetthrough counterparty nonperformance, insolvency or other conditions.
In general, most of our over-the-counter transactions and all exchange contracts are subject to collateral requirements. Types of collateral generally include cash orletters 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 otheraccounts receivable and accounts payable balances recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with our derivative counterparties are not included in the tablebelow but could reduce our net exposure to such counterparties because such balances are subject to master netting or similar arrangements.

For Fiscal 2016 , the amounts of derivative gains or losses representing ineffectiveness were losses of $5.5 , which are recorded in other operating income, net, onthe Consolidated Statements of Income and are related to interest rate contracts at UGI France. The amounts of derivative gains or losses representingineffectiveness, and the amounts of gains or losses recognized in income as a result of excluding derivatives from ineffectiveness testing, were not material forFiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 .
In May 2015, the Company prepaid term loans outstanding under Antargaz’ 2011 Senior Facilities Agreement. In conjunction with the prepayment, the Companyalso settled its associated pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps, and discontinued cash flow hedge accounting treatment for such swaps. During Fiscal2015, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $9.0 associated with the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting for the swaps, which amount is included ininterest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income (see Note 5 ).
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,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. Although certain of these contracts have the requisite elements of a derivative instrument,these contracts qualify for NPNS exception accounting under GAAP because they provide for the delivery of products or services in quantities that are expected tobe 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 theproduct or service being purchased or sold.
Note 18 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Other comprehensive income (loss) principally comprises (1) gains and losses on derivative instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges, net of reclassifications tonet income; (2) actuarial gains and losses on postretirement benefit plans, net of associated amortization; and (3) foreign currency translation and long-term intra-company transaction adjustments.

Note 21 — Segment Information
Our operations comprise six reportable segments generally based upon products or services sold, geographic location and regulatory environment. As more fullydescribed below, effective October 1, 2015, the composition of our UGI Utilities (formerly Gas Utility) and Energy Services reportable segments changed toinclude certain operating segments previously reflected in Corporate & Other. Our reportable segments comprise: (1) AmeriGas Propane; (2) an international LPGsegment comprising UGI France; (3) an international LPG segment principally comprising Flaga and AvantiGas; (4) UGI Utilities; (5) Energy Services; and (6)Electric Generation. We refer to both international segments together as “UGI International” and Energy Services and Electric Generation together as “Midstream& Marketing.”

Table of ContentsUGI Corporation and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Millions of dollars and euros, except per share amounts and where indicated otherwise)
AmeriGas Propane derives its revenues principally from the sale of propane and related equipment and supplies to retail customers in all 50 states. UGI Francederives its revenues principally from the distribution of LPG to retail customers in France and, to a lesser extent, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, andalso from the marketing of natural gas in France and Belgium. Flaga & Other derives its revenues principally from the distribution of LPG to customers innorthern, central and eastern Europe and the United Kingdom. UGI Utilities derives its revenues principally from the sale and distribution of natural gas tocustomers in eastern, northeastern and central Pennsylvania and, to a lesser extent, from the sale and distribution of electricity in two northeastern Pennsylvaniacounties. Energy Services derives its revenues principally from the sale of natural gas and, to a lesser extent, electricity, LPG and fuel oil as well as revenues andfees from storage, pipeline transportation and natural gas production activities primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the U.S. Energy Services alsoderives its revenues from contracting services provided by HVAC to customers located primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. Electric Generation derivesits revenues principally from the sale of electricity through PJM, a regional electricity transmission organization in the eastern U.S.
As a result of changes in the composition of information reported to our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) associated with our regulated utility operations,effective October 1, 2015, we began including our Electric Utility operating segment with our Gas Utility operating segment which we collectively refer to as“UGI Utilities.” Also, as a result of changes in segment management and reporting for HVAC, effective October 1, 2015, we began including our HVAC operatingsegment with our Energy Services operating segment. Previously, Electric Utility and HVAC, neither of which met the quantitative thresholds for presentation as areportable segment under GAAP, were reflected in “Corporate & Other” in our segment information. In accordance with GAAP, prior-year amounts have beenrestated to reflect these changes.
The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 . We evaluate AmeriGas Propane’s performance principally basedupon the Partnership’s earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization as adjusted for the effects of gains and losses on commodityderivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions and other gains and losses that competitors do not necessarily have (“Partnership AdjustedEBITDA”). Although we use Partnership Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate AmeriGas Propane’s profitability, it should not be considered as an alternative to netincome (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 ameasure of performance or financial condition under GAAP. Our definition of Partnership Adjusted 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 as adjusted for gains and losses oncommodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions. Net gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated withcurrent-period transactions are reflected in Corporate & Other because the Company’s CODM does not consider such items when evaluating the financialperformance of our operating segments.
No single customer represents more than ten percent of our consolidated revenues. In addition, all of our reportable segments’ revenues, other than those of UGIInternational, are derived from sources within the United States, and all of our reportable segments’ long-lived assets, other than those of UGI International, arelocated in the United States.

(a) UGI provides certain financial and administrative services to certain of its subsidiaries. UGI bills these subsidiaries monthly for all direct expenses incurred byUGI on behalf of its subsidiaries as well as allocated shares of indirect corporate expense incurred or paid with respect to services provided by UGI. Theallocation of indirect UGI corporate expenses to certain of its subsidiaries utilizes a weighted, three-component formula comprising revenues, operatingexpenses, and net assets employed and considers the relative percentage of such items for each subsidiary to the total of such items for all UGI operatingsubsidiaries for which general and administrative services are provided. Management believes that this allocation method is reasonable and equitable to itssubsidiaries. These billed expenses are classified as “Other operating income, net” in the Statements of Income above.
