UGI International Energy Marketing Transactions

As of December 31, 2023, pursuant to its previously announced decision, the Company has exited substantially all of its European energy marketing business which primarily marketed natural gas and electricity to customers through third-party distribution systems in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

France. In October 2023, UGI International, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, sold substantially all of its energy marketing business located in France for a net cash payment to the buyer of $28. In conjunction with the sale, during the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $28, which amount principally represents the net payment to the buyer. The loss is reflected in “Loss on disposal of UGI International energy marketing business” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with this business, principally comprising certain commodity derivative instruments, energy certificates and certain working capital, were not material.

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

United Kingdom. In October 2022, UGI International, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, sold its natural gas marketing business located in the U.K. for a net cash payment to the buyer of $19 which includes certain working capital adjustments. In conjunction with the sale, during the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $215 substantially all of which was due to the non-cash transfer of commodity derivative instruments associated with the business. The loss is reflected in “Loss on disposal of UGI International energy marketing business” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At the date of closing of the sale, these commodity derivative instruments had a net carrying value of $206 which is attributable to net unrealized gains on such instruments.

Netherlands. In September 2023, a substantial number of DVEP’s customers agreed to modify their energy marketing contracts whereby the Company would continue to provide the delivery of electricity and natural gas at fixed prices through December 31, 2023, with the Company’s obligations to provide future services terminated effective January 1, 2024. As consideration for the early termination of such contracts, the Company has agreed to make cash payments to the customers equal to the fair values of specific commodity derivative instruments associated with periods after December 31, 2023. The early termination agreements with DVEP customers are considered contract modifications and the cash consideration paid to these customers has been reflected as a reduction in revenues, on a pro-rata basis, over the remaining performance period of such agreements through December 31, 2023. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company settled the commodity derivative instruments for a gain of $46, which represents the fair value of the specific commodity derivative instruments associated with periods after December 31, 2023; and reduced its revenues from these customers by $42, which represents the pro-rated performance obligation from October 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.
In conjunction with the wind-down of its European energy marketing business, in December 2023, DVEP completed a sale of a substantial portion of its power purchase agreements to a third party for a total consideration to the buyer of $5. In conjunction with the sale, the Company recorded a loss of $5, which is reflected in “Other operating income, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $19 pre-tax impairment charge to reduce the carrying values of certain assets associated with its energy marketing business in the Netherlands, comprising property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The impairment charge is reflected in “Operating and administrative expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and included in the UGI International reportable segment.
