Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and reconciled below) for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $175.3 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Consolidated Leverage Ratio financial
"The Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Partnership’s credit agreement, for the twelve-month period ended March 28, 2026 improved to 4.34x."
A consolidated leverage ratio measures a business group's total debt compared with its ability to pay, by using combined figures for the parent company and its subsidiaries. Think of it like comparing the total mortgage across all properties you own to your overall income or net worth; investors use it to judge how risky the company’s capital structure is and how vulnerable it may be to rising interest rates or income drops.
production tax credits financial
"we also recognized a benefit of $3.5 million from the recognition of production tax credits (“PTCs”)"
Production tax credits are financial incentives offered to support the development of certain energy projects, such as renewable power sources. They provide a dollar amount for each unit of energy produced, helping to reduce the project's overall costs. For investors, these credits can improve the project's profitability and attractiveness by making renewable energy investments more financially appealing.
renewable natural gas financial
"In our renewable natural gas (“RNG”) operations, with the capital investments and process improvements implemented since acquiring the Stanfield, Arizona facility"
Renewable natural gas is methane captured from organic waste—like landfills, farms, or wastewater—and cleaned to the same quality as conventional pipeline gas so it can be used for heating, electricity, or vehicle fuel. Investors care because it turns waste into a revenue-generating commodity, can qualify for carbon credits or government incentives, and can reduce a company's emissions profile, affecting long-term costs, regulatory risk, and market demand much like converting trash into sellable fuel.
heating degree days technical
"Average temperatures (as measured by the number of heating degree days reported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)"
Heating degree days (HDD) measure how cold a location is over time by adding up how many degrees the daily average temperature falls below a set comfortable threshold (commonly 65°F/18°C); each degree below that threshold for one day counts as one HDD. Investors use HDD to gauge likely demand for heating fuels, utility revenues, and seasonal sales—think of it like counting “cold units” that predict how much heating activity and related spending to expect.
mark-to-market adjustment financial
"included a $1.4 million unrealized loss attributable to the mark-to-market adjustment for derivative instruments used in risk management activities"
A mark-to-market adjustment is an accounting change that updates the value of an asset or liability on a company’s books to what it would sell for at current market prices. Investors care because these adjustments can instantly change reported profits, losses and the company’s financial health — like reappraising a house and seeing your net worth rise or fall overnight — which affects valuation, risk assessment and investment decisions.

Net income $137.5 million essentially flat year over year

ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The following information, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

On May 7, 2026, the Partnership issued a press release (the “Press Release”) describing its Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Financial Results. A copy of the Press Release has been furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.

Within the Press Release, we reference net income before deducting interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Additionally, we discuss EBITDA excluding the unrealized net gain or loss from mark-to-market activity for derivative instruments and certain other items (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Our calculations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented in the Press Release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.

We provide these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they provide the investment community with supplemental measures of operating performance. In addition, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and industry analysts to evaluate our operating results.

We also reference gross margins, computed as revenues less cost of products sold as those amounts are reported on the consolidated financial statements. Since cost of products sold does not include depreciation and amortization expense, the gross margin we reference is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Given the nature of our business, the level of profitability in the retail propane, fuel oil, and natural gas and electricity businesses is largely dependent on the difference between retail sales price and product cost. Therefore, we discuss gross margins in order to provide investors and industry analysts with useful information to facilitate their understanding of the impact of the commodity prices on profitability.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Suburban Propane Partners, L.P.

Announces Second Quarter Results

 

Whippany, New Jersey, May 7, 2026 -- Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (NYSE:SPH), today announced earnings for its second quarter ended March 28, 2026.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $137.5 million, or $2.07 per Common Unit, compared to net income of $137.1 million, or $2.11 per Common Unit, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA, as defined and reconciled below) for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $175.3 million, flat compared to the prior year second quarter.

 

In announcing these results, President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael A. Stivala said, “The fiscal 2026 second quarter presented a vastly different weather pattern across our operating footprint, with sustained colder temperatures and several winter storms across the eastern half of the United States that drove strong heat-related demand, offset by record warm temperatures in the western half. Our operating personnel were well-prepared to safely and efficiently handle the surge in demand and, despite volatility in commodity markets resulting from the conflict in the Middle East, effectively managed selling prices and expenses. I am so proud of how our teams responded to meet the needs of our customers in some challenging conditions, while also maintaining their focus on our customer base growth and retention initiatives to expand our customer base. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was essentially unchanged compared to the prior year and, for the first half of the fiscal year, increased $8.4 million, or 3.4%, compared to the comparable prior year period.”

 

Mr. Stivala continued, “In our renewable natural gas (“RNG”) operations, with the capital investments and process improvements implemented since acquiring the Stanfield, Arizona facility, we are continuing to stabilize production and grow RNG injection. Average daily D3 RNG injection for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 improved compared to the prior sequential quarter and the prior year second quarter due to an increase in facility uptime. Additionally, with the completion of our new anaerobic digester facility in Upstate New York and gas upgrading system in Columbus, Ohio, both of which are on schedule to be completed during the second half of this fiscal year, we expect to add approximately 200,000 MMBtu per annum to our RNG platform. During the second quarter, we also recognized a benefit of $3.5 million from the recognition of production tax credits (“PTCs”), pursuant to the release of draft regulations from the United States Treasury, related to D3 RNG injections at our Stanfield facility for the period from January 2025 through March 2026. As D3 production at our Upstate New York facility comes online, we expect to be eligible to earn PTCs for RNG injected from that facility.”

 

Concluding his remarks, Mr. Stivala commented, “With another quarter of strong operating performance, and our capital projects in the RNG platform winding down, we utilized excess cash flows generated during the second quarter to reduce total debt by more than $64.0 million. We continue to take a disciplined approach to the way we allocate capital in the execution of our long-term strategic growth plan – fostering the growth of our core propane business, investing in the future of renewable energy, while preserving balance sheet strength and flexibility.”

 

Retail propane gallons sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 of 161.6 million gallons were flat compared to the prior year second quarter, as the impact of cooler temperatures across much of the eastern half of the United States on heat-related demand and contributions from the Partnership’s recent acquisitions, were offset by considerably warmer temperatures in the West. Average temperatures (as measured by the number of heating degree days reported by the National Oceanic and

1


Atmospheric Administration) across all the Partnership’s service territories during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were 6% warmer than normal and 1% warmer than the prior year second quarter. Notably, average temperatures in the East were 2% warmer than normal and 3% colder than the prior year, whereas average temperatures in the West were 22% warmer than normal and 17% warmer than the prior year.

 

Average propane prices (basis Mont Belvieu, Texas) for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased 23.1% compared to the prior year second quarter. Total gross margin of $343.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased $1.6 million, or 0.5%, compared to the prior year second quarter. Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 included a $1.4 million unrealized loss attributable to the mark-to-market adjustment for derivative instruments used in risk management activities, compared to a $0.7 million unrealized gain in the prior year second quarter. These non-cash adjustments, which were reported in cost of products sold, were excluded from Adjusted EBITDA for both periods. Excluding the impact of the mark-to-market adjustments, total gross margin increased $0.5 million compared to the prior year second quarter, primarily due to an increase in propane unit margins of $0.03 per gallon, or 1.7%.

 

Combined operating and general and administrative expenses of $169.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were flat compared to the prior year second quarter, as higher payroll and benefit-related expenses, higher fuel and other vehicle costs, and an increase in accruals for self-insurance matters, were offset by a benefit of $3.5 million from the recognition of PTCs and an insurance recovery related to the partial settlement of certain claims associated with the Partnership’s acquisition of RNG production assets in December 2022.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the Partnership utilized cash flows from operating activities to repay $64.3 million in borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Partnership’s credit agreement, for the twelve-month period ended March 28, 2026 improved to 4.34x.

 

As previously announced on April 23, 2026, the Partnership’s Board of Supervisors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.325 per Common Unit for the three months ended March 28, 2026. On an annualized basis, this distribution rate equates to $1.30 per Common Unit. The distribution is payable on May 12, 2026 to Common Unitholders of record as of May 5, 2026.

(a) EBITDA represents net income before deducting interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding the unrealized net gain or loss on mark-to-market activity for derivative instruments and other items, as applicable, as provided in the table below. Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of operating performance and we are including them because we believe that they provide our investors and industry analysts with additional information that we determined is useful to evaluate our operating results.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with US GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as determined by us excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income, they may not be comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following table sets forth our calculations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

We also reference gross margins, computed as revenues less cost of products sold as those amounts are reported on the consolidated financial statements. Our management uses gross margin as a supplemental measure of operating performance and we are including it as we believe that it provides our investors and industry analysts with additional information that we determined is useful to evaluate our operating results. As cost of products sold does not include depreciation and amortization expense, the gross margin we reference is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.

 

The unaudited financial information included in this document is intended only as a summary provided for your convenience, and should be read in conjunction with the complete consolidated financial statements of the Partnership (including the Notes thereto, which set forth important information) contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed by the Partnership with the SEC.
