Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks SUBURBAN PROPANE PARTNERS LP names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Nov 26, 2025: 51 risks under these headings, as written.7

  • RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
  • Because weather conditions may adversely affect demand for our products, our results of operations and financial condition are vulnerable to warm winters and natural disasters.
  • The potential effects of climate change may affect our business, operations, supply chain and customers, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
  • The adoption of climate change legislation could negatively impact our operations and result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for the products and services we provide.
  • Deterioration of general economic and other external conditions have harmed and could continue to harm our business and results of operations.
  • Disruption of our supply chain could have an adverse impact on our business and our operating results.
  • Sudden increases in our costs to acquire and transport our products due to, among other things, our inability to obtain adequate supplies from our usual suppliers, or our inability to obtain adequate supplies of such products from alternative suppliers, or inflationary conditions, may adversely affect our operating results.
  • High prices for propane, fuel oil and other refined fuels and natural gas can lead to customer conservation, resulting in reduced demand for our products.
  • Because of the highly competitive nature of the retail propane and fuel oil businesses, we may not be able to retain existing customers or acquire or attract new customers, which could have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.
  • Energy efficiency, general economic conditions, technological advances and legislative bans have affected and may continue to affect demand for propane, fuel oil and natural gas by our retail customers.
  • We may not be able to attract and retain qualified employees or find, develop and retain key employees to support and grow our business, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
  • We are dependent on our senior management and other key personnel.
The other 40 risks
  • The risk of terrorism, political unrest and the current hostilities in the Middle East or other energy producing regions, including Russian military action in Ukraine, has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect the economy and the price and availability of propane, fuel oil and other refined fuels and natural gas.
  • The conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East and related price volatility and geopolitical instability could negatively impact our business.
  • Our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by governmental regulation and associated environmental and health and safety costs.
  • The ability of AES to acquire and retain retail natural gas and electricity customers is highly competitive, price sensitive and may be impacted by changes in state regulations.
  • Costs associated with lawsuits, investigations or increases in legal reserves that we establish based on our assessment of contingent liabilities could adversely affect our operating results to the extent not covered by insurance.
  • If we are unable to make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms or effectively integrate such acquisitions into our operations, our financial performance may be adversely affected.
  • Current conditions in the global capital and credit markets, and general economic pressures, may adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.
  • Our use of derivative contracts involves credit and regulatory risk and may expose us to financial loss.
  • Our renewable fuel investments are subject to a number of risks, including the willingness of customers to adopt these fuels, the financing, construction and development of facilities, our ability to generate a sufficient return on our investments, our dependence on third-party partners, increased or changing regulation, and dependence on government incentives for commercial viability.
  • A prolonged environment of low prices or reduced demand for RNG could have an adverse effect on our long-term business prospects, financial condition and results of renewable operations.
  • The generation and monetization of environmental attributes by our renewable natural gas assets are subject to state and federal regulations and potential changes in law that could negatively impact the availability or value of environmental attributes in the future.
  • Certain of our anaerobic digester facilities are newly constructed, are under construction or renovation, or are in development and may not perform as we expect.
  • We rely on gas pipelines that we do not own or control and are subject to quality standards and regulations that may restrict or negatively impact our ability to deliver RNG and we may either incur additional costs or forego revenues.
  • Our plans for growth and diversification may not be successful or could expose our business to new risks.
  • We face risks related to our reliance on particular management information systems and communication networks to effectively manage all aspects of our business.
  • We face risks related to cybersecurity breaches of our systems and information technology and those of our third-party vendors.
  • We are subject to laws, rules, regulations and policies regarding data privacy and security, and may be subject to additional related laws and regulations in jurisdictions in which we operate. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations or other harm to our business.
  • RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDEBTEDNESS AND ACCESS TO CAPITAL
  • We face risks related to our current and future debt obligations that may limit our ability to make distributions to Unitholders, as well as our financial flexibility.
  • Our operating results and ability to generate sufficient cash flow to pay principal and interest on our indebtedness, and to pay distributions to Unitholders, may be affected by our ability to continue to control expenses.
  • Disruptions in the capital and credit markets, including the availability and cost of debt and equity issuances for liquidity requirements, may adversely affect our ability to meet long-term commitments and our ability to hedge effectively, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
  • RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON UNITS
  • Cash distributions are not guaranteed and may fluctuate with our performance and other external factors.
  • Unitholders have limited voting rights.
  • It may be difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our Unitholders.
  • Unitholders may not have limited liability in some circumstances.
  • Unitholders may have liability to repay distributions.
  • Our limited partner interest and Unitholders’ percentage of ownership may be diluted in the future and additional taxable income may be allocated to each Unitholder.
  • Our tax treatment depends on our status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The IRS could treat us as a corporation, which would substantially reduce the cash available for distribution to Unitholders.
  • The tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships or an investment in our Common Units could be subject to potential legislative, judicial or administrative changes and differing interpretations thereof, possibly on a retroactive basis.
  • If the IRS makes audit adjustments to our income tax returns, it (and some states) may collect any resulting taxes (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly from the Partnership, in which case cash available to service debt or to pay distributions to our Unitholders, could be substantially reduced.
  • A successful IRS contest of the U.S. federal income tax positions we take may adversely affect the market for our Common Units, and the cost of any IRS contest will reduce our cash available for distribution to our Unitholders.
  • A Unitholder’s tax liability could exceed cash distributions on its Common Units.
  • Ownership of Common Units may have adverse tax consequences for tax-exempt organizations (including Individual Retirement Accounts) and non-U.S. investors.
  • The ability of a Unitholder to deduct its share of our losses may be limited.
  • The tax gain or loss on the disposition of Common Units could be different than expected.
  • Reporting of partnership tax information is complicated and subject to audits.
  • We treat each purchaser of our Common Units as having the same tax benefits without regard to the actual Common Units purchased. The IRS may challenge this treatment, which could adversely affect the value of the Common Units.
  • We prorate our items of income, gain, loss and deduction between transferors and transferees of our Common Units each month based upon the ownership of our Common Units on the first day of each month, instead of on the basis of the date a particular Common Unit is transferred. The IRS may challenge this treatment, which could change the allocation of items of income, gain, loss and deduction among our Unitholders.
  • Unitholders may have negative tax consequences if we default on our debt or sell assets.
  • There are state, local and other tax considerations for our Unitholders.
  • A Unitholder whose Common Units are loaned to a “short seller” to cover a short sale of Common Units may be considered as having disposed of those Common Units. If so, that Unitholder would no longer be treated for tax purposes as a partner with respect to those Common Units during the period of the loan and may recognize gain or loss from the disposition.

Legal proceedings

Our operations are subject to operating hazards and risks normally incidental to handling, storing and delivering combustible liquids such as propane. We have been, and will continue to be, a defendant in various legal proceedings and litigation as a result of these operating hazards and risks, and as a result of other aspects of our business. Although any litigation is inherently uncertain, based on past experience, the information currently available to us, and the amount of our accrued insurance liabilities, we do not believe that currently pending or threatened litigation matters, or known claims or known contingent claims, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.
