		<description><![CDATA[Ferrellgas Partners L.P. (FGP) has added another propane retailer, Economy Propane Inc., consistent with its strategy of acquiring new assets that complement its portfolio. The acquisition of this Lakeport, California-based retailer marks the partnership’s first acquisition this fiscal year, which began on August 1, 2011, and the fourth in this calendar year. Economy Propane, as an independent propane retailer, meets all the requisites of Ferrellgas&#8217; growth-through-acquisition strategy, where the partnership aims to gain control of good businesses in lucrative markets. Going forward, the Ferrellgas family will join Economy employees in the hope of proving superior service to its new customers. Through its growth-by-acquisition strategy Ferrellgas has made as many as 225 acquisitions in over 70 years to transform itself from a single-location, independently owned propane retailer to one of the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ferrellgas Partners L.P. (FGP) continued its acquisition spree by acquiring Dubois, Wyoming based independent propane dealer Ram Propane. The latter operates in the Western Wyoming markets catering to residential and industrial clients. The acquisition is a perfect strategic fit for Ferrellgas Partners. The partnership strives to buy assets in the vicinity of its existing operations thereby expanding its market base. This acquisition is the fourth one in a row for the partnership since the beginning of its fiscal year. The last acquisition was closed during January, when the partnership acquired Augusta, Georgia-based propane company, the Bennett Gas Company. Bennett Gas is an independent propane retailer serving the propane needs of residential and industrial customers in eastern Georgia and western South Carolinas.

Bennett Gas is an independent propane retailer serving the propane needs of residential and industrial customers in eastern Georgia and western South Carolinas. This acquisition marks the partnership&#8217;s third acquisition in fiscal 2011, which began on August 1, 2010. The previous two acquisitions, this fiscal year, included California-based Kings River Propane and a retail propane company based in western Pennsylvania. These recent acquisitions stand evidence to the fact that Ferrellgas will continue to pursue businesses that are committed to customer service and enjoys have strong reputations in the communities they serve. Headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, Ferrellgas is a leading distributor of propane and related equipment in the U.S. As of fiscal year-end ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ferrellgas Partners L.P. (FGP) has been successful in the renewal of its $145 million Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, extending maturity to April 2013. This extension improves the partnership’s borrowing capacity and cost of funds. Additionally, the partnership recently announced the closing of a $280 million offering of notes due in 2020. This, along with the renewal, addresses all major maturities until November 2012, with no debt maturities due until mid-2014. We believe these transactions provide the partnership with financial flexibility required to fund its growth opportunities. Over the last 18 months, the partnership has positively maintained liquidity to support its long-term growth strategies and has also simplified its capital structure in order to reduce refinancing risk to investors. As of January 31, 2010, Ferrellgas had $25.9 million of cash and ]]></description>

Revenue in the quarter improved 9% to $777.9 million due to increased retail and wholesale propane volumes.

Ferrellgas sold 179.5 million gallons of propane during the quarter, up 4.3% from a year ago. However, revenues declined 27% to $352.1 million due to lower wholesale propane costs. Gross profit in the quarter was practically unchanged from last year, while gross margin expanded to 41% from 30% recorded during the year-ago quarter due to lower cost of sales (down 38%).

		<description><![CDATA[Kansas-based Ferrellgas Partners (FGP), a leading distributor of propane in the U.S., has recently raised nearly $288.6 million by placing 9.125% Senior Notes due in 2017 to selected private investors. It will utilize the raised fund to prepay some of its outstanding debts due in 2010 and 2013 as well as to reduce outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Ferrellgas has been striving to expand through a series of acquisitions and opening of more offices over last several years. It has also made significant progress in improving operating efficiencies and expanding margin. However, its highly levered balance sheet remains a concern. As of April 30, 2009, the partnership had approximately $930 million of debt. Ferrellgas has not even raised its distributions for once since going public in June 1994. ]]></description>
