Quarterly Data

P.    Quarterly data (unaudited)

 

The following summarized unaudited quarterly data includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, with the exception of those items indicated below), which Ferrellgas considers necessary for a fair presentation. Due to the seasonality of the propane distribution industry, first and fourth quarter Revenues, gross margin from propane and other gas liquids sales, Net earnings attributable to Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. and Common unitholders’ interest in net earnings are consistently less than the second and third quarter results. Other factors affecting the results of operations include competitive conditions, demand for product, timing of acquisitions, variations in the weather and fluctuations in propane prices. The sum of Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per common unitholders’ interest by quarter may not equal the Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per common unitholders’ interest for the year due to variations in the weighted average units outstanding used in computing such amounts.
