A MESSAGE TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Fiscal 2024 was a pivotal year for UGI as we
embarked on a multi-year journey to drive be er
business performance in order to enhance our
financial profile. We took decisive actions to enhance
our leadership team, create greater operational
efficiencies and strengthen our balance sheet.
Amongst that backdrop, the company realized the
highest adjusted diluted earnings per share in its
history, which is reflective of the resiliency of our
business, our highly a ractive asset base, and the
hard work of our dedicated employees.
Solid financial performance. Three of our business
segments delivered their strongest earnings before
interest expense and taxes driven by higher margins
and greater operational efficiencies, which helped to
offset the impact of lower financial results at
AmeriGas Propane where there is continued focus
on stabilizing operations and improving customer
service. We recognize that improvement in these
areas is critical to unlocking greater value for our
shareholders.
Also, crucial to our success as an organization is
disciplined capital allocation that aligns with our
business strategy. In Fiscal 2024, approximately 80%
of the capital deployed was invested in the natural
gas businesses, primarily in infrastructure replacement
and be erment at our regulated utilities. At the
Midstream business, we began construction of two
facilities that will expand our LNG storage,
vaporization, and liquefaction capacity, and strengthen
our position for increasing natural gas demand.
Today, the runway and depth of opportunities to
grow our natural gas businesses is unparalleled in
our history and so we are focused on balance sheet
management so that we can capitalize on these
opportunities.
Creating value for our shareholders remains top of
mind. This year, we proudly continued UGI s strong
track record of returning value to shareholders
through dividend payments. Over our 142-year
history, we have paid dividends for 140 consecutive
years and provided a 10-year dividend compound
annual growth rate of 6%.
