Financial Performance:
財務業績：
UGI Corporation reported Q2 2024 adjusted earnings per share of $1.97, a significant increase over the previous year.
The increased earnings were attributed mainly to the natural gas business segment, which recorded a 32% increase in adjusted net income over the previous year.
The company achieved a $27 million year-over-year reduction in operating and administrative expenses.
UGI's Utility segment saw an improved performance due to higher gas and electric rates, contributing to an EPS increase by $0.06.
Despite some decreases, midstream & Marketing segment saw an EPS increase by $0.25, largely due to higher margins from natural gas marketing activities.
UGI confirmed it's on track to meet its EPS guidance range of $2.70 to $3 for fiscal 2024 and has set a future EPS growth rate target of 4% to 6% for 2024 to 2027.
UGI公司報告稱，2024年第二季度調整後的每股收益爲1.97美元，比上年大幅增長。
收益的增長主要歸因於天然氣業務板塊，該業務板塊的調整後淨收入比上年增長了32％。
該公司的運營和管理費用同比減少了2700萬美元。
由於汽油和電費的上漲，UGI的公用事業板塊業績有所改善，每股收益增長了0.06美元。
儘管有所下降，但中游和營銷板塊的每股收益增長了0.25美元，這主要是由於天然氣營銷活動的利潤率增加。
UGI證實，它有望實現2024財年每股收益2.70美元至3美元的指導區間，並已將2024年至2027年的未來每股收益增長率目標定爲4％至6％。
Business Progress:
業務進展：
UGI Corporation completed a strategic review of the LPG businesses, including AmeriGas. Despite sale, spin, and joint venture being options, the decision for now is to undergo restructuring and operational improvement in the current market circumstances.
The focus is also on strengthening the balance sheet through better capital allocation and operational efficiencies.
Divestiture of its LPG business in Switzerland is expected to generate about $27 million in net cash.
An operational plan has been introduced to streamline its global LPG footprint, particularly improving AmeriGas.
The company is planning a major shift in its portfolio to become predominantly a natural gas business.
Significant cost reduction measures have been implemented, and debt reduction targets are set for the second half of fiscal 2024.
Financial projections indicate that AmeriGas will begin to contribute cash to UGI by fiscal 2026.
UGI公司完成了對包括AmeriGas在內的液化石油氣業務的戰略審查。儘管出售、分拆和合資是選項，但目前的決定是在當前的市場環境下進行重組和運營改進。
重點還在於通過更好的資本配置和運營效率來加強資產負債表。
剝離其在瑞士的液化石油氣業務預計將產生約2700萬美元的淨現金。
已經出臺了一項運營計劃，以簡化其全球液化石油氣業務，特別是改善AmeriGas的業務。
該公司正計劃對其投資組合進行重大轉變，使其成爲以天然氣爲主的業務。
已經實施了重大成本削減措施，並設定了2024財年下半年的債務減免目標。
財務預測表明，到2026財年，AmeriGas將開始向UGI提供現金。
