Final Investment Decision Reached for Gulf
Coast Express Pipeline Expansion
Earnings per Share (EPS) up 17% Compared to
Third Quarter 2023
Adjusted EPS flat to Third Quarter
2023
Kinder Morgan, Inc.’s (NYSE: KMI) board of directors today
approved a cash dividend of $0.2875 per share for the third quarter
($1.15 annualized), payable on November 15, 2024 to stockholders of
record as of the close of business on October 31, 2024. This
dividend is a 2% increase over the third quarter of 2023.
The company is reporting:
- Third quarter earnings per share (EPS) of $0.28, up 17%
compared to the third quarter of 2023, Adjusted EPS of $0.25, flat
to the third quarter of 2023 and distributable cash flow (DCF) per
share of $0.49, flat to the third quarter of 2023.
- Net income attributable to KMI of $625 million, compared to
$532 million in the third quarter of 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $1,880 million, up 2% from $1,835 million in
the third quarter of 2023.
“With war continuing in Ukraine and conflict escalating in the
Middle East, the centrality of energy security to national security
has never been more clear. We are proud to be part of a sector that
provides that energy security to our fellow citizens, and
increasingly allows allies to forego dependence on those who use
energy as a geopolitical weapon,” said Executive Chairman Richard
D. Kinder.
“As for our company, we enjoyed another solid quarter of strong
operational and financial performance. We continued to internally
fund high-quality capital projects while generating cash flow from
operations of $1.2 billion, and $0.6 billion in free cash flow
(FCF) after capital expenditures. With substantial projected
increases in natural gas demand both domestically and globally in
the coming decades, we have many opportunities on the horizon,”
Kinder concluded.
“The company had a solid third quarter on increased financial
contributions from our Natural Gas Pipelines and Terminals business
segments, with Adjusted EBITDA up 2% versus the third quarter of
2023,” said Chief Executive Officer Kim Dang.
“Further, KMI’s balance sheet remains very strong, as we ended
the quarter with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.1 times,”
continued Dang.
“We advanced a number of exciting projects during the quarter,
including finalizing the investment decision with respect to a $455
million expansion on the Gulf Coast Express Pipeline that will
increase natural gas deliveries by 570 million cubic feet per day
(MMcf/d) from the Permian Basin to South Texas markets. We are also
developing an NGPL Gulf Coast Storage Expansion project that will
provide approximately 10 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of incremental
natural gas storage capacity on NGPL’s high-growth Gulf Coast
system. Storage assets have never been in greater demand to help
smooth the intermittency of renewable resources on the electric
grid and to provide balancing services to the growing LNG market,”
Dang continued.
“Discussions around opportunities related to significant new
natural gas demand for electric generation associated with coal
conversions at power plants, artificial intelligence operations,
cryptocurrency mining, data centers and industrial re-shoring also
continued during the quarter, and we now see an opportunity set
well in excess of 5 Bcf/d in that area,” said Dang.
“Our project backlog at the end of the third quarter was $5.1
billion versus $5.2 billion in the second quarter of 2024. Holding
our backlog nearly flat is notable given that we put $484 million
of projects into service during the quarter. In calculating backlog
Project EBITDA multiples, we exclude both the capital and EBITDA
from our CO2 enhanced oil recovery projects and gathering and
processing (G&P) projects, where the earnings are more uneven
than with our other business segments. To compensate for those
uneven earnings profiles, we require higher return thresholds for
those projects. We expect the remaining $3.8 billion of projects in
the backlog (flat to last quarter) to generate an average Project
EBITDA multiple of approximately 5.4 times (as in the previous
quarter).
“We are devoting approximately 86% of our project backlog to
lower-carbon energy investments, including 83% to conventional
natural gas, and the remainder to renewable natural gas (RNG),
renewable diesel (RD), feedstocks associated with RD and
sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), as well as carbon capture and
sequestration,” Dang concluded.
2024 Outlook
For 2024, including contributions from the acquired STX
Midstream assets, KMI budgeted net income attributable to KMI of
$2.7 billion ($1.22 per share), up 15% versus 2023, and expects to
declare dividends of $1.15 per share for 2024, a 2% increase from
the dividends declared for 2023. The company also budgeted 2024 DCF
of $5 billion ($2.26 per share), Adjusted EBITDA of $8.16 billion,
both up 8% versus 2023, and to end 2024 with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted
EBITDA ratio of 3.9 times.
The budget assumes average annual prices for West Texas
Intermediate (WTI) crude oil and Henry Hub natural gas of $82 per
barrel and $3.50 per million British thermal unit (MMBtu),
respectively, consistent with the published forward curve available
during the company’s annual budget process.
“Due to lower than budgeted commodity prices and start-up delays
on our RNG facilities, partially offset by higher contributions
from natural gas transmission and storage, we now expect to be
below budget on Adjusted EBITDA by approximately 2% and on Adjusted
EPS by approximately 4%, although we expect Adjusted EBITDA to be
up 5% and Adjusted EPS to be up 9% for the full year versus 2023.
We expect to end the year with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio
of 4.0 times,” said Dang.
This press release includes Adjusted Net Income Attributable to
KMI and DCF, in each case in the aggregate and per share, Adjusted
Segment EBDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt, FCF and Project EBITDA,
all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. For descriptions of
these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most
comparable measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and
the tables accompanying our preliminary financial statements.
Overview of Business
Segments
“The Natural Gas Pipelines business segment’s improved
financial performance in the third quarter of 2024 relative to the
third quarter of 2023 benefited from continued higher contributions
from our Texas Intrastate system, additional contributions from our
STX Midstream acquisition, and higher contributions from expansion
projects on Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP), partially offset by lower
contributions from our gathering systems due to asset divestitures
and lower commodity prices,” said KMI President Tom Martin.
“Natural gas transport volumes were up 2% compared to the third
quarter of 2023. Natural gas gathering volumes were up 5% from the
third quarter of 2023, primarily from our Haynesville and Eagle
Ford gathering systems.
“Contributions from the Products Pipelines business
segment were down compared to the third quarter of 2023 largely due
to lower commodity prices and the associated impact on inventory
used to support our transmix and crude and condensate businesses.
Total refined products volumes were up slightly, and crude and
condensate volumes were down 4% compared to the third quarter of
2023,” Martin said.
“Terminals business segment earnings were up compared to
the third quarter of 2023. Our liquids terminals benefited from
expansion projects placed into service as well as higher rates and
utilization at our New York Harbor hub facilities. Our bulk
business benefited from increased petroleum coke and fertilizer
volumes. Higher rates on our Jones Act tankers, which remain fully
contracted under term charter agreements, also contributed to the
segment’s performance for the quarter,” continued Martin.
“CO2 business segment earnings were down compared to the
third quarter of 2023 due to lower crude volumes, higher power
costs, and the divestiture of certain assets earlier this year,
partially offset by contributions from KMI’s Energy Transition
Ventures business as well as from the North McElroy Unit acquired
earlier this year. Year-to-date crude net-to-KMI volumes were down
7%, though SACROC production is expected to be above plan for the
year. Weighted average price movements across the segment’s three
primary commodities netted out slightly positively for the quarter
versus the third quarter of 2023. KMI’s ETV contributions were
higher due to RNG facilities being placed into service after the
third quarter of 2023,” said Martin.
Other News
Corporate
- In July 2024, KMI issued $500 million of 5.10% senior notes due
August 2029 and $750 million of 5.95% senior notes due August 2054
to repay outstanding commercial paper and maturing debt and for
general corporate purposes. The interest rates on the notes were
favorable compared to budgeted rates.
Natural Gas Pipelines
- On August 30, 2024, Gulf Coast Express Pipeline LLC (GCX)
reached a final investment decision (FID) to proceed with its
approximately $455 million expansion project (approximately $161
million KM-share) after securing the necessary binding firm long
term transportation agreements. The project is designed to increase
natural gas deliveries by 570 MMcf/d from the Permian Basin to
South Texas markets. Subject to all required approvals, the project
is expected to be in service mid-2026. GCX is jointly owned by a
subsidiary of KMI, an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC
and a subsidiary of Phillips 66. KMI is the operator of GCX.
- Preliminary survey work is underway on the South System
Expansion 4 (SSE4) Project designed to increase SNG’s South Line
capacity by approximately 1.2 Bcf/d. Upon completion, the
approximately $3 billion project will help meet growing power
generation and local distribution company demand in the Southeast
markets. SSE4 will be almost entirely comprised of brownfield
looping and horsepower compression additions on the SNG and Elba
Express (EEC) pipeline systems (approximately $1.7 billion KM-share
including EEC). Subject to all required approvals, KMI expects the
project to be in service beginning in late 2028.
- Construction activities are ongoing for the Kinder Morgan Tejas
Pipeline’s (Tejas) approximately $154 million South Texas to
Houston Market expansion project. The first phase of the project
will add compression on Tejas’ mainline, with a target in-service
date in the first quarter of 2025. Tejas has also executed the
definitive agreements necessary to proceed with the second phase of
the project which predominantly involves 14 miles of pipeline
looping. The expected in-service date for this portion of the
project is the third quarter of 2025. Together these projects will
provide approximately 500 MMcf/d to key markets.
- The Webb County Extension project, an approximately $158
million expansion of the Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline (KMTP)
system, was placed in service on October 1, 2024. The project
provides additional treating and transport opportunities for lean
natural gas Eagle Ford producers in Webb County. The project,
supported by a long-term contract, delivers up to 400 MMcf/d of
Eagle Ford natural gas supply into the company’s Texas Intrastate
network.
- Construction is ongoing for the second phase of the
approximately $670 million Evangeline Pass project, which has an
expected in-service date of July 1, 2025. The two-phase project
involves modifications and enhancements to portions of the TGP and
Southern Natural Gas (SNG) systems in Mississippi and Louisiana,
resulting in the delivery of approximately 2 Bcf/d of natural gas
to Venture Global’s Plaquemines LNG facility. The approximately
$283 million first phase of the project providing 900 mDth/d of
capacity was placed in service July 1, 2024.
- NGPL has executed the definitive agreements necessary to
proceed with its approximately $94 million Gulf Coast Storage
Expansion project (approximately $35 million KM-share). This
project will provide approximately 10 Bcf of incremental natural
gas storage capacity on NGPL’s high-growth Gulf Coast system.
Subject to all required approvals, NGPL expects the project to be
placed in service in the first half of 2027.
Terminals
- Construction is nearing completion on KMI’s latest expansion of
its industry-leading RD and SAF feedstock storage and logistics
offering at its lower Mississippi River hub. The scope of work at
its Geismar River Terminal in Geismar, Louisiana includes
construction of multiple tanks totaling approximately 250,000
barrels of heated storage capacity as well as various marine, rail
and pipeline infrastructure improvements. The approximately $54
million Geismar River Terminal project is supported by a long-term
commercial commitment and is expected to be in service by the
fourth quarter of 2024.
Products
- During the quarter, KMI’s SFPP pipeline secured necessary
customer commitments in a binding open season to add 2,500 barrels
per day of additional capacity on its East Line system for
transportation of refined petroleum products from El Paso, Texas to
Tucson, Arizona. SFPP has the ability to further expand its East
Line system to Tucson without installing additional pipe should
customers need additional capacity. The target in-service date is
the third quarter of 2025.
Energy Transition Ventures
- Construction is substantially complete on the Autumn Hills RNG
facility, and it is expected to be placed into service December
2024 with an expected capacity of 0.8 Bcf of RNG annually. Once
complete and in service, this additional facility will bring KMI’s
total RNG generation capacity to 6.9 Bcf per year.

Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
As described in further detail below, our management evaluates
our performance primarily using Net income attributable to Kinder
Morgan, Inc. and Segment earnings before DD&A expenses,
including amortization of excess cost of equity investments, (EBDA)
along with the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Net income
attributable to Common Stock, and distributable cash flow (DCF),
both in the aggregate and per share for each, Adjusted Segment
EBDA, Adjusted Net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc.,
Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, DD&A expenses,
including amortization of excess cost of equity investments,
(EBITDA) and Net Debt.
Our non-GAAP financial measures described below should not be
considered alternatives to GAAP net income attributable to Kinder
Morgan, Inc. or other GAAP measures and have important limitations
as analytical tools. Our computations of these non-GAAP financial
measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.
You should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in
isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as
reported under GAAP. Management compensates for the limitations of
our consolidated non-GAAP financial measures by reviewing our
comparable GAAP measures identified in the descriptions of
consolidated non-GAAP measures below, understanding the differences
between the measures and taking this information into account in
its analysis and its decision-making processes.
Certain Items, as adjustments used
to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures, are items that are
required by GAAP to be reflected in net income attributable to
Kinder Morgan, Inc., but typically either (1) do not have a cash
impact (for example, unsettled commodity hedges and asset
impairments), or (2) by their nature are separately identifiable
from our normal business operations and in most cases are likely to
occur only sporadically (for example, certain legal settlements,
enactment of new tax legislation and casualty losses). (See the
accompanying Tables 2, 3, 4, and 6.) We also include adjustments
related to joint ventures (see “Amounts from
Joint Ventures” below).
The following table summarizes our Certain Items for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Amounts for the periods ending September
30, 2023 include the following amounts reported within “Earnings
from equity investments” on the accompanying Preliminary
Consolidated Statements of Income: (i) $1 million for the
three-month period only of “Change in fair value of derivative
contracts” and (ii) $67 million for the nine-month period only of
“(Gain) loss on divestitures and impairment, net” for a non-cash
impairment related to our investment in Double Eagle Pipeline LLC
in our Products Pipelines business segment.
(4)
Amounts for the periods ending September
30, 2024 and 2023 include the following amounts reported within
"Interest, net" on the accompanying Preliminary Consolidated
Statements of Income: $4 million and $3 million for the three-month
periods, respectively, and $5 million and $(10) million for the
nine-month periods, respectively, of “Change in fair value of
derivative contracts.”
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Kinder
Morgan, Inc. is calculated by adjusting net income
attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for Certain Items. Adjusted Net
Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. is used by us, investors
and other external users of our financial statements as a
supplemental measure that provides decision-useful information
regarding our period-over-period performance and ability to
generate earnings that are core to our ongoing operations. We
believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted Net
Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. is net income
attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. (See the accompanying Tables 1
and 2.)
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common
Stock and Adjusted EPS is calculated by adjusting Net income
attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc., the most comparable GAAP
measure, for Certain Items, and further for net income allocated to
participating securities and adjusted net income in excess of
distributions for participating securities. We believe Adjusted Net
Income Attributable to Common Stock allows for calculation of
adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) on the most comparable
basis with earnings per share, the most comparable GAAP measure to
Adjusted EPS. Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income
Attributable to Common Stock divided by our weighted average shares
outstanding. Adjusted EPS applies the same two-class method used in
arriving at basic earnings per share. Adjusted EPS is used by us,
investors and other external users of our financial statements as a
per-share supplemental measure that provides decision-useful
information regarding our period-over-period performance and
ability to generate earnings that are core to our ongoing
operations. (See the accompanying Table 2.)
DCF is calculated by adjusting net
income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for Certain Items, and
further for DD&A and amortization of excess cost of equity
investments, income tax expense, cash taxes, sustaining capital
expenditures and other items. We also adjust amounts from joint
ventures for income taxes, DD&A, cash taxes and sustaining
capital expenditures (see “Amounts from Joint
Ventures” below). DCF is a significant performance measure
used by us, investors and other external users of our financial
statements to evaluate our performance and to measure and estimate
the ability of our assets to generate economic earnings after
paying interest expense, paying cash taxes and expending sustaining
capital. DCF provides additional insight into the specific costs
associated with our assets in the current period and facilitates
period-to-period comparisons of our performance from ongoing
business activities. DCF is also used by us, investors, and other
external users to compare the performance of companies across our
industry. DCF per share serves as the primary financial performance
target for purposes of annual bonuses under our annual incentive
compensation program and for performance-based vesting of equity
compensation grants under our long-term incentive compensation
program. DCF should not be used as an alternative to net cash
provided by operating activities computed under GAAP. We believe
the GAAP measure most directly comparable to DCF is net income
attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. DCF per share is DCF divided by
average outstanding shares, including restricted stock awards that
participate in dividends. (See the accompanying Table 2.)
Adjusted Segment EBDA is calculated
by adjusting segment earnings before DD&A and amortization of
excess cost of equity investments, general and administrative
expenses and corporate charges, interest expense, and income taxes
(Segment EBDA) for Certain Items attributable to the segment.
Adjusted Segment EBDA is used by management in its analysis of
segment performance and management of our business. We believe
Adjusted Segment EBDA is a useful performance metric because it
provides management, investors and other external users of our
financial statements additional insight into performance trends
across our business segments, our segments’ relative contributions
to our consolidated performance and the ability of our segments to
generate earnings on an ongoing basis. Adjusted Segment EBDA is
also used as a factor in determining compensation under our annual
incentive compensation program for our business segment presidents
and other business segment employees. We believe it is useful to
investors because it is a measure that management uses to allocate
resources to our segments and assess each segment’s performance.
(See the accompanying Table 4.)
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by
adjusting net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for
Certain Items and further for DD&A and amortization of excess
cost of equity investments, income tax expense and interest. We
also include amounts from joint ventures for income taxes and
DD&A (see “Amounts from Joint
Ventures” below). Adjusted EBITDA (on a rolling 12-months
basis) is used by management, investors and other external users,
in conjunction with our Net Debt (as described further below), to
evaluate our leverage. Management and external users also use
Adjusted EBITDA as an important metric to compare the valuations of
companies across our industry. Our ratio of Net Debt-to-Adjusted
EBITDA is used as a supplemental performance target for purposes of
our annual incentive compensation program. We believe the GAAP
measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income
attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. (See the accompanying Tables 3
and 6.)
Amounts from Joint Ventures -
Certain Items, DCF and Adjusted EBITDA reflect amounts from
unconsolidated joint ventures (JVs) and consolidated JVs utilizing
the same recognition and measurement methods used to record
“Earnings from equity investments” and “Noncontrolling interests
(NCI),” respectively. The calculations of DCF and Adjusted EBITDA
related to our unconsolidated and consolidated JVs include the same
items (DD&A and income tax expense, and for DCF only, also cash
taxes and sustaining capital expenditures) with respect to the JVs
as those included in the calculations of DCF and Adjusted EBITDA
for our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries; further, we remove
the portion of these adjustments attributable to non-controlling
interests. (See Tables 2, 3, and 6.) Although these amounts related
to our unconsolidated JVs are included in the calculations of DCF
and Adjusted EBITDA, such inclusion should not be understood to
imply that we have control over the operations and resulting
revenues, expenses or cash flows of such unconsolidated JVs.
Net Debt is calculated by
subtracting from debt (1) cash and cash equivalents, (2) debt fair
value adjustments, and (3) the foreign exchange impact on
Euro-denominated bonds for which we have entered into currency
swaps to convert that debt to U.S. dollars. Net Debt, on its own
and in conjunction with our Adjusted EBITDA (on a rolling 12-months
basis) as part of a ratio of Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA, is a
non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management, investors
and other external users of our financial information to evaluate
our leverage. Our ratio of Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA is also used
as a supplemental performance target for purposes of our annual
incentive compensation program. We believe the most comparable
measure to Net Debt is total debt as reconciled in the notes to the
accompanying Preliminary Consolidated Balance Sheets in Table
6.
Project EBITDA is calculated for an
individual capital project as earnings before interest expense,
taxes, DD&A and general and administrative expenses
attributable to such project, or for JV projects, consistent with
the methods described above under “Amounts from Joint Ventures,”
and in conjunction with capital expenditures for the project, is
the basis for our Project EBITDA multiple. Management, investors
and others use Project EBITDA to evaluate our return on investment
for capital projects before expenses that are generally not
controllable by operating managers in our business segments. We
believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Project EBITDA
is the portion of net income attributable to a capital project. We
do not provide the portion of budgeted net income attributable to
individual capital projects (the GAAP financial measure most
directly comparable to Project EBITDA) due to the impracticality of
predicting, on a project-by-project basis through the second full
year of operations, certain amounts required by GAAP, such as
projected commodity prices, unrealized gains and losses on
derivatives marked to market, and potential estimates for certain
contingent liabilities associated with the project completion.
FCF is calculated by reducing cash
flow from operations for capital expenditures (sustaining and
expansion), and FCF after dividends is calculated by further
reducing FCF for dividends paid during the period. FCF is used by
management, investors and other external users as an additional
leverage metric, and FCF after dividends provides additional
insight into cash flow generation. Therefore, we believe FCF is
useful to our investors. We believe the GAAP measure most directly
comparable to FCF is cash flow from operations. (See the
accompanying Table 7.)
