The company leases bulk tanks to certain independent distributors for propane delivery and portable tank exchanges, aiming to reduce customer loss by minimizing the inconvenience of switching suppliers. Both owned and independent distributors provide a national delivery network for portable tank exchange customers. Some propane distribution locations also retail propane appliances, parts, fittings, and related consumer products. Additionally, the company sells refined fuels and offers common carrier services. Propane demand is significantly influenced by weather during the winter heating season (November through March), as well as by economic conditions and wholesale propane prices. The market is seasonal, with sales and operating profits primarily concentrated in the second and third fiscal quarters.
