UGI Subsidiary Mountaineer Gas Secures $70 Million in Senior Notes Financing

UGI Corporation announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Mountaineer Gas Company, has entered into a private placement agreement to issue $70 million in senior unsecured notes.

The placement consists of:

$50 million in 6.11% Senior Notes, Series F, maturing in June 2035

$20 million in 6.21% Senior Notes, Series G, maturing in June 2037

The notes will bear interest payable semiannually and rank pari passu with Mountaineer’s existing unsecured debt. The proceeds are designated for refinancing outstanding debt and general corporate purposes.

Mountaineer retains the option to call the notes in whole or in part, either with a make-whole premium or at par following a defined no-premium call period. A change in control of Mountaineer—such as UGI ceasing to own at least 51%—could trigger a mandatory prepayment option for investors.

The agreement includes financial covenants such as:

Maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65%

EBITDA-to-interest coverage of at least 2.00x

Minimum tangible net worth of $70 million

The notes are unsecured and are not registered under the Securities Act, relying on a private placement exemption. UGI emphasized that these terms support its ongoing financial flexibility and long-term capital strategy.
UGI Corporation reported strong financial results for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2024. Key highlights include a GAAP diluted EPS of $1.74 and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.37, up 14% from the prior year. Reportable segments' EBIT was $420 million, slightly down from $425 million in the prior year. The company maintained $1.5 billion in liquidity and filed for a $110 million rate increase for UGI Utilities. AmeriGas also announced plans to redeem its 2025 Senior Notes using an intercompany loan.

Operationally, UGI benefited from strong natural gas demand, higher rates in West Virginia, and reduced expenses in its Global LPG business. The company is focusing on improving AmeriGas Propane's processes and service quality. CEO Bob Flexon highlighted disciplined execution, operational improvements, and strategic priorities like capital allocation and portfolio optimization to drive growth and shareholder value. UGI's Q1 performance and strategic initiatives position it for sustained success.
