What these concentrations mean together
updated 2026-07-06Suburban Propane Partners' concentration risk sits almost entirely on the supply side. Approximately 85% of total propane purchases were from domestic suppliers, with 100% sourced from North America in fiscal 2025 — a structural, geography-based concentration inherent to how the propane supply chain is organized rather than a single-counterparty dependency. Within that North American supply base, two named suppliers stand out: Energy Transfer LP provided approximately 30% of total propane purchases, and Targa Liquids Marketing and Trade LLC provided approximately 12%. Together these two suppliers account for a meaningful share of total purchases, with Energy Transfer the larger and more consequential of the two relationships. Because propane itself is a fungible commodity available from multiple potential suppliers, the character of this risk leans toward negotiating and logistics exposure rather than an irreplaceable single source, but reliance on these two named counterparties for a large portion of purchases means a disruption at either — particularly Energy Transfer — could pressure near-term procurement costs or availability more than a fully diversified supplier base would allow.
