Ferrellgas Partners Reports Third-Quarter Results;
Provides Guidance for Full-Year Adjusted EBITDA

     OVERLAND PARK, Kan., June 6, 2008 — Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (NYSE: FGP), one of the nation’s largest propane distributors, today reported for the third fiscal quarter ended April 30 Adjusted EBITDA of $85.1 million, down from the record $95.1 million for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Net earnings were $35.2 million, or $0.55 per unit, compared with a record $43.7 million, or $0.69 per unit, the year before. The decreases continued to reflect sharply higher propane costs that pressured margins and triggered customer conservation. Partially offsetting these factors were higher fee income and an ongoing tight rein on expenses.

     Propane sales volume in the third fiscal quarter decreased to 252 million gallons from 271 million gallons in the prior-year’s third quarter, mirroring similar trends from the first half of the fiscal year.

     Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James Ferrell pointed out, “In light of the hurdles we had to clear, which included a 44-percent increase in the cost of propane, we achieved Adjusted EBITDA that approached our budget for the quarter. Our operating platform’s efficiencies contributed to that performance as operating expense declined 4 percent on a year-over-year basis. General and administrative expense decreased more than 7 percent.”

     Ferrell pointed out, “In this current, challenging environment, our team performed remarkably well and deserves a lot of credit. We continue to believe that we have in place the fundamentals that will lead to improved operations.”

     President and Chief Operating Officer Steve Wambold reported, “Our Blue Rhino brand had a solid third quarter, reaching its volume goals, while successfully implementing price increases with its customers. Moreover, Blue Rhino is off to an excellent start in the fourth quarter, having added 2,500 selling locations over the past year and having recently secured a commitment for more than 1,000 additional locations from an existing customer to be installed prior to the end of July.”

     Wambold pointed out, “Based on Blue Rhino’s positive momentum and our well-established expense control efforts, we expect meaningful improvement in our Adjusted EBITDA results in the fourth quarter over year-earlier results. We expect that this performance will result in Adjusted EBITDA for the full fiscal year in the range of $225.0 million to $230.0 million.”

     Third quarter revenues rose to $712.1 million from $624.2 million in the year-earlier period, with higher wholesale propane commodity prices and additional fee income contributing to the increase. Gross profit decreased to $194.9 million from $210.5 million. Operating expense was $93.3 million versus $97.4 million a year ago while general and administrative expense was $10.9 million compared with $11.8 million. Equipment lease expenses also declined, to $6.0 million from $6.7 million.

     Comparable figures for the nine months were as follows: Revenues of $1.87 billion and $1.66 billion a year ago; gross profit, $537.3 million and $565.0 million; propane sales volume, 699 million gallons and 755 million gallons; operating expense, $274.8 million and $287.2 million; general and administrative expense, $33.9 million and $32.9 million; equipment lease expense, $18.5 million and $19.8 million; Adjusted EBITDA, $211.5 million and $226.3 million; and net earnings $63.5 million, or $1.00 per unit and $73.4 million and $1.16 per unit.

(a)	Amounts allocated to the general partner for its 1.0101% interest in the operating partnership, Ferrellgas, L.P.
(b)	Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 03-6 “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share,” requires the calculation of net earnings per limited partner unit for each period presented according to distributions declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings, as if all of the earnings for the period had to be distributed. In periods with undistributed earnings above certain levels, the calculation according to the two-class method results in an increased allocation of undistributed earnings to the general partner and a dilution of earnings to the limited partners. Due to the seasonality of the propane business, the dilution effect of EITF 03-6 on net earnings per limited partner unit will typically only impact the three months ending January 31. EITF 03-6 did not have a dilutive effect on the three, nine and twelve months ended April 30, 2008 and and the nine and twelve months ended April 30, 2007.
(c)	Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123( R), “Share-Based Payment” requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions resulted in a non-cash compensation charge of $0.1 million and $0.2 million to operating expense, for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.3 million to operating expense for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. A non-cash compensation charge of $0.3 million and $0.3 million was recorded to general and administrative expense for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended April 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. A non-cash charge of $0.4 million and $0.4 million was recorded to operating expense for the twelve months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. A non-cash charge of $0.7 and $1.1 was recorded to general and administrative expense for the twelve months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
(d)	Management considers Adjusted EBITDA to be a chief measurement of the partnership’s overall economic performance and return on invested capital. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, employee stock ownership plan compensation charge, unit and stock-based compensation charge, loss on disposal of assets and other, minority interest, and other non-cash and non-operating charges. Management believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful because it allows investors to view the partnership’s performance in a manner similar to the method management uses, adjusted for items management believes are unusual or non-recurring, and makes it easier to compare its results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures. In addition, management believes this measure is consistent with the manner in which the partnership’s lenders and investors measure its overall performance and liquidity, including its ability to pay quarterly equity distributions, service its long- term debt and other fixed obligations and fund its capital expenditures and working capital requirements. This method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with that of other companies and should be viewed in conjunction with measurements that are computed in accordance with GAAP.
(e)	Net cash interest expense is the sum of interest expense less non-cash interest expense and interest income. This amount also includes interest expense related to the accounts receivable securitization facility.
(f)	Maintenance capital expenditures include capitalized expenditures for betterment and replacement of property, plant and equipment.
(g)	Management considers Distributable cash flow to equity investors a meaningful non-GAAP measure of the partnership’s ability to declare and pay quarterly distributions to common unitholders. Distributable cash flow to equity investors, as management defines it, may not be comparable to distributable cash flow or similarly titled measures used by other corporations and partnerships.
(h)	During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 the governor of the state of Michigan signed into law a new Michigan Business Tax. The passing of this new tax law caused Ferrellgas to recognize a one time deferred tax expense of $2.8 million during fiscal 2007. During fiscal 2008 a credit for this deferred tax expense was created by a new Michigan tax law. The passing of this new tax law caused Ferrellgas to recognize a one time deferred tax credit during fiscal 2008.
