ITEM 2.02.  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The following information, including the exhibit attached hereto, shall not be
deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be
expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

On May 4, 2006, Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. issued a press release (the
"Press Release") describing its Fiscal 2006 Second Quarter Financial Results. A
copy of the Press Release has been furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current
Report.

Within the Press Release, we reference earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") which is considered a non-GAAP
financial measure. Additionally, we discuss EBITDA, net income and net income
per Common Unit, excluding the impact of unrealized (non-cash) gains or losses
attributable to mark-to-market activity on derivative instruments recorded in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended by
SFAS Nos. 137, 138 and 149.

We provide these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they assist
the investment community in properly assessing our liquidity on a year-over-year
basis. In addition, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful information to investors and industry analysts that facilitates the
comparison of cash flows between periods for purposes of evaluating our ability
to meet our debt service obligations and to pay quarterly distributions.
Moreover, our revolving credit agreement requires us to use EBITDA as a
component in calculating our leverage and interest coverage ratios. A
reconciliation of EBITDA to cash flow provided by/(used in) operating activities
(the most comparable GAAP measure) is presented in the Press Release furnished
as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.
