Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. Webcast for Fiscal First Quarter

On Tuesday, November 30, 2004, we, Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries will report earnings for our first fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2004. The live webcast of earnings will begin at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time and can be heard on the Internet at http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?p=irol-eventDetails&c=62728&eventID=963417.

We are providing the following information in advance of this webcast and in response to recent questions received from the investment community regarding material events announced by an unrelated, publicly-traded heating oil and propane master limited partnership:

o

We believe that our liquidity available from both our operating partnership’s bank credit facility and our accounts receivable securitization facility will be sufficient to meet our peak winter working capital needs, despite recent significant increases in the wholesale cost of propane. Historically, the end of our first fiscal quarter is one of our peak periods for seasonal working capital borrowings. As of October 31, 2004, we had $116.8 million of borrowings and $65.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the $307.5 million bank credit facility, leaving $125.4 million available under this facility. Additionally, in September 2004 we renewed our accounts receivable securitization facility, which allows us to sell between $60.0 million and $160.0 million of accounts receivable, depending upon the timing of the year and available undivided interests in our accounts receivable. As of October 31, 2004, we utilized $60.0 million of the availability under the accounts receivable securitization facility. As our account receivable increase during our winter season, we expect to have additional availability under this facility to use for peak working capital needs.

o

Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. and the operating partnership have issued notes equal to $1,054.0 million in aggregated principal amount with maturity dates ranging from fiscal years 2006 to 2014. The operating partnership has notes equal to $109.0 million maturing on August 1, 2005. We expect to refinance these notes prior to their maturity with proceeds from issuances of our common units, debt securities and/or other available sources of capital.

o

We plan to deploy our new technology initiative to the majority of our retail distribution outlets by the end of calendar year 2005. Our new technology initiative is designed to improve the routing and scheduling of our customer deliveries, customer administration and operational workflow related to our retail sale and delivery of bulk propane. As of October 31, 2004, approximately one-third of our retail distribution outlets were operational on this new platform. In the last three months since these outlets have been converted to the new platform, we have experienced net customer gains in these locations. In addition, the margin per gallon performance in these outlets has exceeded the budgeted performance for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2004. As the new platform is fully implemented in each outlet, we expect to realize reductions in operating costs from efficiencies in improved routing and scheduling of our customer deliveries, customer administration and operational workflow.

o

During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2004, we incurred approximately $[4.0] million of costs, primarily related to increased costs for leased equipment, data management and processing, telecommunication costs, training and other costs related to our new technology initiative. We incurred approximately $13.0 million of these similar expenses, in fiscal year 2004 and we expect to incur a total of approximately $15.0 million of these expenses in fiscal year 2005. We expect that after the full deployment of our technology initiative these increased expenses will be more than offset by reductions in costs from efficiencies where the new platform is utilized.

o

In April 2004, we acquired through a series of transactions the asset and liabilities of Blue Rhino Corporation. As a result of this acquisition, we became the largest national provider of propane by portable tank exchange. For our first fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2004, we anticipate these operations will contribute, as expected, approximately $1.0 million to operating income, which includes approximately $6.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense related to the acquired Blue Rhino operations.

o

Including the effects of a preliminary independent valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities of Blue Rhino Corporation, we estimate that our total depreciation and amortization expense will be approximately $20.0 million for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2004. Additionally, we completed a debt financing in April and June 2004, incurred in connection with the Blue Rhino acquisition. As a result of these debt financings and an offering of our common units complete in August 2004, the proceeds of which were used to reduce borrowings outstanding under the bank credit facility, we estimate that our total interest expense for the quarter ending October 31, 2004 will be approximately $23.0 million.

o

The wholesale cost of propane has increased significantly during the quarter ended October 31, 2004 compared to same fiscal quarter last year. The wholesale market price at one of the major supply points, Mt. Belvieu, Texas, was $0.81 per gallon at the beginning of the quarter and peaked at $0.97 per gallon during the quarter. As of October 31, 2004, the price was $0.90 per gallon at this same supply point. The average cost of propane at Mt. Belvieu for the quarter ended October 31, 2004 was $0.86 compared to $0.70 per gallon in the previous quarter. Other major supply points in the United States have also experienced significant increases. Historically, when the wholesale cost of propane increases rapidly, gross profit has typically been reduced, for the short-term, until customer prices could be increased. Likewise, when wholesale propane prices decline, our gross profit has increased in the short-term because customer prices have tended to change less rapidly than wholesale prices. Due to the increase in wholesale costs during the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2004, we anticipate our gross profit to be negatively impacted, as the rapid increase in the wholesale cost of propane during the quarter could not immediately be passed on to our customers.

o

For the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2004, propane sales volumes are expected to increase by approximately 5 percent primarily due to the contribution from the Blue Rhino operations. Since propane sales volumes during our first fiscal quarter typically represent less than 20 percent of our annual propane sales volumes, we historically experience operating losses during our first fiscal quarter because our fixed costs exceed that quarter's gross profit.

o

We anticipate that our operating loss for our fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2004 will increase by approximately $11.0 million compared to the same fiscal quarter last year. This increased operating loss is primarily due to additional depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $8.0 million compared to same fiscal quarter last year. We expect for the first fiscal quarter that the impact from the increased wholesale propane costs on our gross profit and increased expenses associated with our new technology initiative will be partially offset by operating income provided by the acquired Blue Rhino operations.

o

Additionally, we completed a debt financing in April and June 2004, incurred in connection with the acquired Blue Rhino operations. As a result of these debt financings and an offering of our common units completed in August 2004, the proceeds of which were used to reduce borrowings outstanding under the bank credit facility, we estimate that our total interest expense for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2004 will be approximately $23.0 million, a $6.0 million increase conpared to the same fiscal quarter last year.
