FERRELLGAS PARTNERS’ FOURTH-QUARTER ADJUSTED EBITDA UP 23%;

FULL-YEAR ADJUSTED EBITDA OF $266.5 MILLION EXCEEDS

PRIOR-YEAR RECORD $251.1 MILLION BY 6%

OVERLAND PARK, KAN., September 28, 2010/PR Newswire-First Call — Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (NYSE:FGP), one of the largest distributors of propane, today reported that Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal fourth quarter ended July 31 increased 23% to $15.0 million from $12.2 million in the year-earlier quarter.

For the full year, the partnership reported record Adjusted EBITDA of $266.5 million, reflecting a 6% increase over the previous high of $251.1 million in fiscal 2009.

President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Wambold commented, “We are extremely pleased with the fourth-quarter results, reflecting double-digit improvement in Adjusted EBITDA from a balance of improved margins and reduced operating expenses.”

Wambold continued, “The gain in Adjusted EBITDA for the full year was driven by a 5.5% increase in propane gallon sales to 922.5 million from 874.8 million the year before. Retail and wholesale volumes were up 4% and 9%, respectively.”  He also pointed out, “Another highlight of the year was an 8% improvement in distributable cash flow achieving a record $159.3 million, or coverage of 1.13x, the partnership’s highest DCF coverage since fiscal 2003.”

Operating results for the year also improved with revenues of $2.1 billion versus $2.07 billion in fiscal 2009.  Gross profit increased to $732.9 million from $709.3 million, and operating income rose to $158.4 million from $146.5 million in fiscal 2009.  Common unitholders’ interest in net income, which included debt prepayment premiums of $20.7 million in fiscal 2010, was $32.4 million, or $0.47 per common unit, compared with $52.0 million, or $0.79 per common unit, the year before.  Excluding the debt prepayment premiums, earnings per common unit in fiscal 2010 were $0.76.

Propane gallon sales for the quarter declined slightly to 141.7 million from 149.5 million the year before during the seasonally slow quarter.  Revenues totaled $353.8 million compared with $312.7 million.  Gross profit was practically flat to the prior year’s record performance, but

the seasonal operating loss declined to $14.5 million from $15.4 million.  Common unitholders’ interest in net loss for the quarter increased to $40.1 million, or $0.58 per common unit, from $34.7 million, or $0.51 per common unit, primarily reflecting higher interest expense.

During the quarter, operating expense declined to $101.0 million from $103.8 million, while equipment lease expense continued to decrease, to $3.3 million from $4.0 million.  The increase in general and administrative expense to $14.8 million from $12.0 million reflects performance-based incentives and the non-cash impact of stock option issuances from the parent company of the partnership’s general partner.

Looking toward fiscal 2011, Wambold observed, “The year is off to a good start with our Blue Rhino branded propane sales carrying positive fourth quarter momentum into August and September.”

Wambold emphasized, “Our fundamentals are strong, and we remain optimistic about our strategic direction as we continue to focus on profitable growth, both organically and through acquisitions.”  Wambold concluded, “At the same time, our management team remains focused on improved efficiencies by keeping a tight rein on expenses.”

(a)	Amounts allocated to the general partner for its 1.0101% interest in the operating partnership, Ferrellgas, L.P.
(b)	FASB guidance relating to stock compensation requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions resulted in a non-cash compensation charge of $1.0 million and $0.5 million to operating expense for the three months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $2.2 million and $0.9 million to operating expense for the twelve months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. A non-cash compensation charge of $2.6 million and $0.7 million was recorded to general and administrative expense for the three months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $5.6 million and $1.4 million to general and administrative expense for the twelve months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
(c)	Management considers Adjusted EBITDA to be a chief measurement of the partnership’s overall economic performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, debt prepayment premiums, depreciation and amortization expense, employee stock ownership plan compensation charge, unit and stock-based compensation charge, loss on disposal of assets and other, other income (expense), net and net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest. Management believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful because it allows investors to view the partnership’s performance in a manner similar to the method management uses, adjusted for items management believes makes it easier to compare its results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures. This method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with that of other companies and should be viewed in conjunction with measurements that are computed in accordance with GAAP.
(d)	Net cash interest expense is the sum of interest expense less non-cash interest expense and other income (expense), net. This amount includes interest expense related to the accounts receivable securitization facility.
(e)	Maintenance capital expenditures include capitalized expenditures for betterment and replacement of property, plant and equipment.
(f)	Management considers distributable cash flow to equity investors a meaningful non-GAAP measure of the partnership’s ability to declare and pay quarterly distributions to common unitholders. Distributable cash flow to equity investors, as management defines it, may not be comparable to distributable cash flow or similarly titled measures used by other entities.
