Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (SPH) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

You're looking at how Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (SPH) can squeeze more volume out of its existing customer base and service areas. This is about digging deeper into the markets you already serve, which is generally the lowest-risk growth path. The foundation for this strategy is solid; in fiscal 2025, which ended September 27, 2025, the company already grew its core business significantly.

The primary goal here is to push retail propane gallons sold beyond the 400.5 million gallons achieved in fiscal 2025. That 2025 volume represented a healthy 5.9% increase over the prior year, showing that even at scale, there's room to grow within the current footprint of approximately 750 locations servicing about 1 million customers across 42 states. Pushing past that 400.5 million gallon mark means every existing customer needs to buy a bit more, or you need to capture a larger share of the available market demand from non-customers in those established territories.

To smooth out the revenue curve, implementing dynamic pricing models is key to capturing volume during shoulder seasons and non-peak demand periods. Seasonality is defintely a factor, as the business is heavily reliant on heating demand. While the company saw a net loss of $14.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 (the typical off-season), better pricing strategies during those months could directly improve the profitability of those lower-volume periods, helping to build on the fiscal 2025 Net Income of $106.6 million.

You should also focus on cross-selling fuel oil and refined fuels to the existing propane customer base within the same service area. This leverages the existing delivery infrastructure and customer relationship. To be fair, this area needs a lift; fuel oil and refined fuels gallons sold actually decreased by 0.4 million gallons, or 2.2%, in fiscal 2025. That dip suggests there's immediate, untapped potential to push these complementary products to the 1 million residential and commercial accounts already receiving propane.

Accelerating the multi-year technology modernization initiative is crucial for making this penetration work efficiently. This initiative uses advanced routing, forecasting, and customer relationship management technologies specifically to improve service delivery and strengthen customer loyalty. Better service efficiency directly supports customer retention, which is the bedrock of market penetration success. The strong operational performance in fiscal 2025, evidenced by Adjusted EBITDA reaching $278.0 million (an 11.2% increase), provides the financial cushion to invest heavily in these systems.

Finally, offering enhanced loyalty programs to residential customers helps lock in higher unit margins by securing demand. When customers feel valued and see tangible benefits, they are less likely to switch suppliers based on minor price differences. This directly supports the margin management that helped drive the $278.0 million Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2025.

Here's a quick look at the fiscal 2025 performance that underpins this strategy:

Metric	Fiscal 2025 Amount	Comparison/Context
Retail Propane Gallons Sold	400.5 million gallons	5.9% increase year-over-year
Adjusted EBITDA	$278.0 million	11.2% increase year-over-year
Net Income per Common Unit	$1.64	Up from $1.15 in fiscal 2024
Fuel Oil/Refined Fuels Gallons Sold Change	Decrease of 0.4 million gallons	Represents a 2.2% decrease in volume
Total Customers Serviced	Approximately 1 million	Across approximately 750 locations

The actions Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. can take to maximize penetration include:

• Target a 6.0% or greater increase in retail propane gallons sold for fiscal 2026.
• Implement dynamic pricing across 100% of non-peak delivery routes by Q2 fiscal 2026.
• Increase fuel oil and refined fuels attach rate by 1.5% on the existing propane customer base.
• Deploy advanced routing software to 75% of service territories by year-end fiscal 2026.
• Launch a tiered loyalty program offering a $0.01/gallon discount after 10 initial deliveries.

Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (SPH) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

Market Development for Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (SPH) centers on taking the core, established propane distribution business into new geographic territories and expanding its commercial reach within existing and new regions. This strategy relies heavily on inorganic growth through acquisitions and strategic national alliances to quickly scale the operational footprint.

The pursuit of new geographic markets is clearly evidenced by the capital allocated to mergers and acquisitions. Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. deployed approximately $77 million in acquisitions over the past year, which is fiscal 2025, to consolidate fragmented markets and expand its service territories. This disciplined approach to capital deployment directly bolsters revenue by adding new customer bases.

A significant component of this geographic expansion was the strategic move into the Southwest US. Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. executed a $53.0 million acquisition of a propane business with operations in New Mexico and Arizona early in fiscal 2025. This move was specifically designed to establish a stronger, more reliable presence in that growing region, enhancing logistical networks. Furthermore, the company continued this trend by investing another $24.0 million subsequent to the end of fiscal 2025 to expand propane operations in California.

To move beyond reliance on residential heating, which is subject to weather volatility, Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. is actively targeting the commercial and industrial (C&I) customer base. While the company serves approximately 1 million customers across its 42-state footprint, growth in national accounts is a key focus. The company noted continued growth in its counter-seasonal national accounts business, which helped drive a 5.9% increase in total retail propane gallons sold for fiscal 2025, reaching 400.5 million gallons. This volume growth, alongside a 11.2% increase in Adjusted EBITDA to $278.0 million for fiscal 2025, reflects success in securing and growing these larger, less weather-dependent accounts.

The strategy also includes leveraging existing brand trust to enter adjacent energy markets. Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. already acts as a marketer of natural gas and electricity in deregulated markets. This existing infrastructure and customer relationship base provide a platform to potentially scale these non-propane energy offerings into new territories as deregulation expands across the US.

Securing large-scale, multi-year supply contracts serves as a powerful validation and growth driver for the commercial segment. Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. secured a multi-year partnership with NASCAR and Speedway Motorsports, announced on January 14, 2025, naming it the Official Propane of both entities. This partnership is concrete evidence of market development through a national commercial agreement. The scope of this deal includes:

Scope of Partnership Activity	Specific Deliverable/Location
Propane Supply for Track Operations	Propane for new, propane-powered track dryers debuting in February 2025
On-Site Services for Campers	On-site services for campers at each track property during NASCAR event weekends
Concessions Fuel Supply	Propane for in-stadium concessions
Speedway Motorsports Tracks Covered	Sonoma Raceway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, among others
NASCAR Tracks Covered	Darlington Raceway, Daytona International Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway, among others

This national partnership, which will feature a co-branded logo on all Suburban Propane bobtails across its 42-state footprint, is a clear example of using a national platform to solidify commercial market penetration.

The overall financial health supports this Market Development focus, with fiscal 2025 net income reaching $106.6 million.

• Retail propane gallons sold in fiscal 2025: 400.5 million gallons.
• Fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA: $278.0 million.
• Total gross margins for fiscal 2025: $868.8 million.

Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (SPH) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at how Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (SPH) plans to grow by developing new offerings for its existing market. This is where you take what you know-your current customer base and operational footprint-and introduce something new to them.

The core customer base for Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. stands at roughly 1.0 million customers as of the fiscal year ended September 27, 2025. These customers are served across approximately 750 locations in 42 states. The product development strategy centers on layering cleaner energy alternatives onto this existing distribution network.

The push to roll out renewable propane (R-Propane) under the Go Green initiative targets this existing base. Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. has made a significant commitment to this area, having invested over $300 million in the last three years in lower carbon intensity propane, renewable natural gas (RNG), and hydrogen. This investment underpins the availability of R-Propane, which possesses lower carbon intensity than traditional propane.

For value-add services, Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. is expanding its offering beyond fuel delivery. While specific revenue figures for new home heating and energy-related equipment sales and servicing aren't detailed for fiscal 2025, the company's overall strategy includes service fees for equipment as a monetization strategy. The total volume of fuel oil and refined fuels sold in fiscal 2025 was 16.5 million gallons, providing a baseline for potential cross-selling of related equipment and services.

Expanding Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) availability to commercial and industrial customers already using traditional natural gas is heavily supported by capital deployment. Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. utilized $27.0 million in fiscal 2025 growth capital expenditures specifically to advance the construction activities at its RNG production facilities. Furthermore, the company projected capital spending for RNG projects in fiscal 2025 to range between $35,000,000 to $45,000,000. Projects at the Columbus, Ohio, and Upstate New York RNG facilities are advancing, expected to boost overall RNG sales once fully operational. For context, total capital spending in Q1 of fiscal 2025 was $23,800,000.

Piloting hydrogen-blended fuel solutions for specific industrial clients is supported by the company's broader investment in the sector. Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. is actively supporting companies like Independence Hydrogen. The total investment over the last three years in hydrogen, alongside RNG and renewable propane, exceeds $300 million.

Here's a look at some key operational and investment figures from fiscal 2025:

Metric	Fiscal 2025 Amount/Value	Source Context
Total Customers Served	Roughly 1.0 million	Residential, commercial, governmental, industrial, and agricultural sectors.
Retail Propane Gallons Sold	400.5 million gallons	Up 5.9% year-over-year.

Net Income	$106.6 million	Up from $74.2 million in fiscal 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA	$278.0 million	Increased 11.2% from the prior year.

The product development strategy is clearly leaning into the renewable space, using capital to build out the RNG supply chain, which directly supports the expansion of offerings to existing and new customer segments.

• Roll out R-Propane to existing customer base of about 1.0 million.
• Invested over $300 million in renewable energy platforms over the last three years.
• Utilized $27.0 million of fiscal 2025 CapEx for RNG facility construction.
• Supported hydrogen commercialization efforts.

You should track the actual deployment of R-Propane volumes against the total 400.5 million gallons of propane sold in fiscal 2025 to gauge penetration. Finance: draft 13-week cash view by Friday.

Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (SPH) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (SPH) moves beyond its core propane distribution by investing in new products and markets, which is the Diversification quadrant of the Ansoff Matrix. This strategy is heavily focused on low-carbon alternatives and expanding geographic reach through targeted purchases.

Renewable Energy Platform Investment and Monetization

Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. has committed significant capital to build out its low-carbon energy alternatives platform. Over the past three years, a subsidiary has invested over $300 million in renewable energy projects. This investment stream targets renewable propane and renewable natural gas (RNG), including the acquisition of a platform of RNG assets from Equilibrium Capital Group, which includes two operational biogas facilities. This platform is seen as a pathway to further development in areas like renewable dimethyl ether (rDME) and hydrogen production. Monetizing this platform, for instance, by selling Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) in new compliance markets, represents a direct revenue stream from this diversification effort, moving into new product/market combinations related to sustainability mandates.

The company's commitment to this area is clear, even as its core business posted strong results for fiscal year 2025, with net income reaching $106.57 million and Adjusted EBITDA hitting $278.0 million for the full year ended September 27, 2025. The Propane segment still generated the majority of revenue at $1.265 billion for the fiscal year.

Expansion into New Regions via Acquisition

Geographic diversification, though often through acquiring existing propane businesses, opens up new markets for Suburban Propane Partners, L.P.'s existing product. The company executed several strategic acquisitions to bolster its footprint in new regions during the 2025 fiscal year cycle. Specifically, Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. completed the acquisition of a propane business in New Mexico and Arizona for $53.0 million early in fiscal 2025. Furthermore, toward the subsequent end of fiscal 2025, the company acquired two high-quality businesses in attractive markets in California for $24 million. These moves expand the company's service territory beyond its existing base, which currently spans approximately 750 locations across 42 states, serving about 1 million customers.

Exploring New Transportation Markets and Consulting Services

The strategic direction points toward developing and marketing hydrogen fuel cell technology for fleet vehicles, which is a move into entirely new transportation markets. While specific financial figures for joint venture revenue or hydrogen sales aren't yet public, this aligns with the investment in hydrogen production capabilities mentioned alongside the RNG assets. Similarly, establishing a dedicated energy consulting service for large commercial clients on decarbonization strategies represents a service diversification, leveraging the company's evolving expertise in renewable fuels to serve new client needs outside of simple fuel delivery contracts.
