however in our domestic businesses , fiscal 2017 , much like fiscal 2016 , was unusual in that a substantial portion of the u.s. experienced temperatures based upon heating degree days that were significantly warmer than normal . although fiscal 2017 temperatures based upon heating degree days were slightly colder than in fiscal 2016 , temperatures in the critical heating season months of january and february were much warmer than the prior year . average temperatures at our ugi international operations in europe were slightly warmer than normal but colder than the very warm temperatures experienced in fiscal 2016. notwithstanding the strong headwinds created by this warm weather , ugi achieved record gaap and adjusted net income attributable to ugi ( for further information on adjusted net income and adjusted diluted 31 earnings per share , see “ non-gaap financial measures - adjusted net income attributable to ugi and adjusted earnings per diluted share ” below ) . this positive outcome was achieved in part due to contributions from recent investments , growth initiatives and the ugi gas base rate case increase that became effective in october 2016. as previously mentioned , our ugi international business experienced weather in fiscal 2017 that was slightly warmer than normal but colder than in fiscal 2016. expenses associated with the integration of french lpg retail distributor finagaz , which we acquired in may 2015 , were higher in fiscal 2017 reflecting substantial progress with our integration activities in our bulk and cylinder businesses . the higher fiscal 2017 costs associated with these integration activities were offset in large part by the ramping up of expense synergies from these integration activities . a significant portion of the finagaz integration activities and related integration expenses are now behind us , and we expect to see the continuing synergistic benefits from these integration activities in our future operating results . although ugi international retail volumes were higher as a result of the colder weather , fiscal 2017 results at ugi international were negatively affected by the absence of a significant margin parachute experienced in the prior year resulting from rapidly declining lpg commodity prices in fiscal 2016. ugi international fiscal 2017 results also reflect a decrease in net deferred income tax liabilities of $ 29.0 million resulting from a change in the french corporate income tax rate enacted in december 2016 that will become effective in fiscal 2021. our ugi utilities segment experienced a significant increase in earnings as a result of higher base rates at ugi gas , organic customer growth and incremental revenues from distribution system improvements through distribution system improvement charges ( “ dsic ” ) . as a result , ugi utilities net income increased nearly 20 % in fiscal 2017. midstream & marketing results were about equal to last year . fiscal 2017 results benefited from new peaking and lng contracts , higher allowance for funds used during construction ( “ afudc ” ) income associated with pipeline projects and the addition of new natural gas marketing customers and volumes . these positive contributions to earnings were offset by lower capacity management revenues , reflecting lower volatility and prices for pipeline capacity , and lower electric generation income resulting principally from lower wholesale price spreads for electricity and lower generation volumes . average temperatures in amerigas propane 's service territories for all of fiscal 2017 were significantly warmer than normal but slightly colder than in fiscal 2016. however temperatures in the critical heating-season months of january and february were approximately 9 % warmer than in fiscal 2016 , impacting retail volumes . the effects of slightly lower retail volumes sold were partially offset by excellent operating expense and propane unit margin management notwithstanding higher and increasing wholesale prices for propane during fiscal 2017 compared with fiscal 2016. growth in the amerigas cylinder exchange ( “ ace ” ) and national accounts programs also helped to offset the effects of the lower retail volumes sold . strategic initiatives during fiscal 2017 , we made significant strategic and operational progress in support of our long-term goals . at our ugi international business , we made substantial progress toward the full integration of the finagaz cylinder and bulk businesses , with the last core integration activities to be finalized in fiscal 2018. we will reap the benefits of these integration efforts in fiscal 2018 and beyond . our european presence and operational density continued to increase with the completion of a smaller-sized , strategic acquisition with operations in sweden during fiscal 2017. late in fiscal 2017 , we acquired an electricity and natural gas marketing business ( “ dvep ” ) , which markets to small and medium enterprises in the netherlands . in october 2017 , we entered the lpg market in northern and central italy with our acquisition of total 's retail lpg business in italy , now known as univergas italia s.r.l . ( “ univergas ” ) . the dvep acquisition will allow us to leverage our experience in energy marketing and to grow in a highly attractive and profitable market in europe while our acquisition of univergas expands our lpg footprint in europe . our ugi utilities business continues to grow as demand for natural gas remains strong across both the residential and commercial customer segments and as the price difference between natural gas and oil has expanded in the last fiscal year . gas utility continued to execute on its infrastructure replacement and system betterment program with record capital expenditures in fiscal 2017. in january 2017 , png filed for an increase in annual base rate revenues and received puc approval for an increase in base rates of $ 11.3 million . story_separator_special_tag during fiscal 2017 , average wholesale commodity prices for propane and butane in northwest europe were approximately 34 % and 29 % , respectively , higher than in fiscal 2016. ugi international base-currency results are translated into u.s. dollars based upon exchange rates experienced during the reporting periods . the functional currency of a significant portion of our ugi international results is the euro and , to a much lesser extent , the british pound sterling . although the british pound sterling and the euro during much of fiscal 2017 were slightly weaker than during fiscal 2016 , the translation effects of these currencies did not negatively impact ugi international net income due to gains on foreign currency exchange contracts used to hedge a portion of u.s. dollar purchases of lpg . ugi international revenues increased $ 8.7 million during fiscal 2017 as higher average bulk and cylinder lpg selling prices and the effects of the colder weather on bulk sales were substantially offset by the translation impact on revenues of the weaker british 39 pound sterling and euro , the effects of exiting the low-margin autogas business in poland and lower fiscal 2017 wholesale sales . ugi international cost of sales increased $ 31.5 million during fiscal 2017 as the effects on cost of sales from the higher average lpg commodity costs and increase in bulk sales were partially offset by the translation impact from the weaker british pound sterling and the euro , the effects of the lower volumes associated with exiting the autogas business in poland , and the effects of the lower wholesale sales . ugi international total margin decreased $ 22.8 million primarily reflecting ( 1 ) the translation effects of the weaker british pound sterling and euro ; ( 2 ) slightly lower average retail bulk and cylinder lpg unit margins ; and ( 3 ) the absence of margin from the autogas business in poland . the slightly lower average retail bulk and cylinder lpg unit margins principally reflect the negative effects on current-year period unit margins of higher lpg commodity costs and the beneficial effects on prior-year unit margins of declining lpg wholesale commodity costs . these decreases in unit margin were partially offset by the increase in bulk sales resulting from the colder weather . the $ 10.9 million decrease in fiscal 2017 ugi international operating income principally reflects the previously mentioned $ 22.8 million decrease in total margin and a $ 5.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization partially offset by a $ 13.5 million decrease in operating and administrative expenses and a decrease in other operating expense . the decrease in operating and administrative expenses principally reflects lower operating and administrative costs in france resulting from expense synergies associated with the finagaz integration and , to a much lesser extent , the translation effects of the weaker euro and british pound sterling offset , in part , by higher incremental finagaz integration expenses . operating and administrative expenses include $ 39.9 million and $ 27.9 million of finagaz integration expenses in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 , respectively . the decrease in other operating expense reflects , in large part , the absence of a $ 5.5 million loss recorded during fiscal 2016 associated with interest rate hedge ineffectiveness . ugi international income before income taxes decreased $ 7.0 million principally reflecting the previously mentioned $ 10.9 million decrease in ugi international operating income offset by slightly lower interest expense due in large part to a lower fiscal 2017 average interest rate on ugi france sas 's 600 million senior facilities agreement term loan . replace_table_token_15_th ( a ) total margin represents total revenues less total cost of sales . total margin for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 excludes net pre-tax gains ( losses ) of $ 55.7 and $ ( 6.3 ) million , respectively , on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions . temperatures across midstream & marketing 's energy marketing territory were 14.5 % warmer than normal but 2.2 % colder than in the prior year . midstream & marketing fiscal 2017 revenues were $ 254.6 million higher than in fiscal 2016 principally reflecting higher natural gas revenues ( $ 262.9 million ) and , to a much lesser extent , higher peaking revenues ( $ 15.5 million ) . the increase in natural gas revenues principally reflects higher average natural gas prices , higher natural gas volumes associated with customer growth , and the effects of the slightly colder weather , while the increase in peaking revenues reflects an increase in the number of peaking contracts . these increases in revenues were partially offset principally by lower capacity management and electric generation revenues . midstream & marketing cost of sales was $ 856.7 million in fiscal 2017 compared to $ 602.2 million in fiscal 2016 , an increase of $ 254.5 million , principally reflecting higher natural gas cost of sales primarily a result of the higher natural gas volumes and prices . midstream & marketing total margin in fiscal 2017 was about equal to the prior year as higher peaking total margin ( $ 15.0 million ) , higher natural gas gathering total margin ( $ 4.1 million ) , and higher natural gas total margin ( $ 3.3 million ) were offset primarily by a decrease in total margin from capacity management ( $ 10.6 million ) , electricity generation ( $ 6.3 million ) , and storage services ( $ 3.0 million ) . the increase in peaking total margin reflects an increase in the number of contracts while the higher natural gas gathering and natural gas total margin reflects higher activity . the decline in capacity management margin reflects higher fixed demand charges associated with higher capacity contract commitments partially offset by slightly higher prices for pipeline capacity during the fiscal 2017 heating season . the lower electricity generation margin reflects lower electricity price spreads , slightly lower electricity

 Suspicious Activity Report : however in our domestic businesses , fiscal 2017 , much like fiscal 2016 , was unusual in that a substantial portion of the u.s. experienced temperatures based upon heating degree days that were significantly warmer than normal . although fiscal 2017 temperatures based upon heating degree days were slightly colder than in fiscal 2016 , temperatures in the critical heating season months of january and february were much warmer than the prior year . average temperatures at our ugi international operations in europe were slightly warmer than normal but colder than the very warm temperatures experienced in fiscal 2016. notwithstanding the strong headwinds created by this warm weather , ugi achieved record gaap and adjusted net income attributable to ugi ( for further information on adjusted net income and adjusted diluted 31 earnings per share , see “ non-gaap financial measures - adjusted net income attributable to ugi and adjusted earnings per diluted share ” below ) . this positive outcome was achieved in part due to contributions from recent investments , growth initiatives and the ugi gas base rate case increase that became effective in october 2016. as previously mentioned , our ugi international business experienced weather in fiscal 2017 that was slightly warmer than normal but colder than in fiscal 2016. expenses associated with the integration of french lpg retail distributor finagaz , which we acquired in may 2015 , were higher in fiscal 2017 reflecting substantial progress with our integration activities in our bulk and cylinder businesses . the higher fiscal 2017 costs associated with these integration activities were offset in large part by the ramping up of expense synergies from these integration activities . a significant portion of the finagaz integration activities and related integration expenses are now behind us , and we expect to see the continuing synergistic benefits from these integration activities in our future operating results . although ugi international retail volumes were higher as a result of the colder weather , fiscal 2017 results at ugi international were negatively affected by the absence of a significant margin parachute experienced in the prior year resulting from rapidly declining lpg commodity prices in fiscal 2016. ugi international fiscal 2017 results also reflect a decrease in net deferred income tax liabilities of $ 29.0 million resulting from a change in the french corporate income tax rate enacted in december 2016 that will become effective in fiscal 2021. our ugi utilities segment experienced a significant increase in earnings as a result of higher base rates at ugi gas , organic customer growth and incremental revenues from distribution system improvements through distribution system improvement charges ( “ dsic ” ) . as a result , ugi utilities net income increased nearly 20 % in fiscal 2017. midstream & marketing results were about equal to last year . fiscal 2017 results benefited from new peaking and lng contracts , higher allowance for funds used during construction ( “ afudc ” ) income associated with pipeline projects and the addition of new natural gas marketing customers and volumes . these positive contributions to earnings were offset by lower capacity management revenues , reflecting lower volatility and prices for pipeline capacity , and lower electric generation income resulting principally from lower wholesale price spreads for electricity and lower generation volumes . average temperatures in amerigas propane 's service territories for all of fiscal 2017 were significantly warmer than normal but slightly colder than in fiscal 2016. however temperatures in the critical heating-season months of january and february were approximately 9 % warmer than in fiscal 2016 , impacting retail volumes . the effects of slightly lower retail volumes sold were partially offset by excellent operating expense and propane unit margin management notwithstanding higher and increasing wholesale prices for propane during fiscal 2017 compared with fiscal 2016. growth in the amerigas cylinder exchange ( “ ace ” ) and national accounts programs also helped to offset the effects of the lower retail volumes sold . strategic initiatives during fiscal 2017 , we made significant strategic and operational progress in support of our long-term goals . at our ugi international business , we made substantial progress toward the full integration of the finagaz cylinder and bulk businesses , with the last core integration activities to be finalized in fiscal 2018. we will reap the benefits of these integration efforts in fiscal 2018 and beyond . our european presence and operational density continued to increase with the completion of a smaller-sized , strategic acquisition with operations in sweden during fiscal 2017. late in fiscal 2017 , we acquired an electricity and natural gas marketing business ( “ dvep ” ) , which markets to small and medium enterprises in the netherlands . in october 2017 , we entered the lpg market in northern and central italy with our acquisition of total 's retail lpg business in italy , now known as univergas italia s.r.l .

( 2 ) slightly lower average retail bulk and cylinder lpg unit margins ; and ( 3 ) the absence of margin from the autogas business in poland . the slightly lower average retail bulk and cylinder lpg unit margins principally reflect the negative effects on current-year period unit margins of higher lpg commodity costs and the beneficial effects on prior-year unit margins of declining lpg wholesale commodity costs . these decreases in unit margin were partially offset by the increase in bulk sales resulting from the colder weather . the $ 10.9 million decrease in fiscal 2017 ugi international operating income principally reflects the previously mentioned $ 22.8 million decrease in total margin and a $ 5.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization partially offset by a $ 13.5 million decrease in operating and administrative expenses and a decrease in other operating expense . the decrease in operating and administrative expenses principally reflects lower operating and administrative costs in france resulting from expense synergies associated with the finagaz integration and , to a much lesser extent , the translation effects of the weaker euro and british pound sterling offset , in part , by higher incremental finagaz integration expenses . operating and administrative expenses include $ 39.9 million and $ 27.9 million of finagaz integration expenses in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 , respectively . the decrease in other operating expense reflects , in large part , the absence of a $ 5.5 million loss recorded during fiscal 2016 associated with interest rate hedge ineffectiveness . ugi international income before income taxes decreased $ 7.0 million principally reflecting the previously mentioned $ 10.9 million decrease in ugi international operating income offset by slightly lower interest expense due in large part to a lower fiscal 2017 average interest rate on ugi france sas 's 600 million senior facilities agreement term loan . replace_table_token_15_th ( a ) total margin represents total revenues less total cost of sales . total margin for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 excludes net pre-tax gains ( losses ) of $ 55.7 and $ ( 6.3 ) million , respectively , on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions . temperatures across midstream & marketing 's energy marketing territory were 14.5 % warmer than normal but 2.2 % colder than in the prior year . midstream & marketing fiscal 2017 revenues were $ 254.6 million higher than in fiscal 2016 principally reflecting higher natural gas revenues ( $ 262.9 million ) and , to a much lesser extent , higher peaking revenues ( $ 15.5 million ) . the increase in natural gas revenues principally reflects higher average natural gas prices , higher natural gas volumes associated with customer growth , and the effects of the slightly colder weather , while the increase in peaking revenues reflects an increase in the number of peaking contracts . these increases in revenues were partially offset principally by lower capacity management and electric generation revenues . midstream & marketing cost of sales was $ 856.7 million in fiscal 2017 compared to $ 602.2 million in fiscal 2016 , an increase of $ 254.5 million , principally reflecting higher natural gas cost of sales primarily a result of the higher natural gas volumes and prices . midstream & marketing total margin in fiscal 2017 was about equal to the prior year as higher peaking total margin ( $ 15.0 million ) , higher natural gas gathering total margin ( $ 4.1 million ) , and higher natural gas total margin ( $ 3.3 million ) were offset primarily by a decrease in total margin from capacity management ( $ 10.6 million ) , electricity generation ( $ 6.3 million ) , and storage services ( $ 3.0 million ) . the increase in peaking total margin reflects an increase in the number of contracts while the higher natural gas gathering and natural gas total margin reflects higher activity . the decline in capacity management margin reflects higher fixed demand charges associated with higher capacity contract commitments partially offset by slightly higher prices for pipeline capacity during the fiscal 2017 heating season . the lower electricity generation margin reflects lower electricity price spreads , slightly lower electricity
