HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: KMP) today increased its
quarterly cash distribution per common unit to $1.40 ($5.60 annualized)
payable on Nov. 14, 2014, to unitholders of record as of Oct. 31, 2014.
This represents a 4 percent increase over the third quarter 2013 cash
distribution per unit of $1.35 ($5.40 annualized) and is up from $1.39
per unit ($5.56 annualized) for the second quarter of 2014.
Chairman and CEO Richard D. Kinder said, “KMP had a strong third quarter
and increased the distribution for the 53rd time since current
management took over in February of 1997. Our five business segments
produced $1.543 billion in segment earnings before DD&A and certain
items, a 10 percent increase over the third quarter of 2013. Growth was
led by outstanding results at Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP), increased
oil and NGL production at SACROC, and strong results from both our
Products Pipelines and Terminals businesses. Since our second quarter
earnings release in July, we have increased our project backlog of
expansion and joint venture investments at KMP to $16.3 billion from
$15.4 billion, notwithstanding approximately $1.1 billion in projects
that were placed into service in the third quarter and thus removed from
the backlog. Projects in the backlog have a high certainty of completion
and will drive future growth at the company across all of our business
segments. Additionally, since Dec. 1, 2013, Kinder Morgan’s natural gas
pipelines companywide have entered into new and pending firm transport
capacity commitments totaling 6.4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d)
(6 Bcf/d at KMP). This represents about 9 percent of the current daily
natural gas demand in the United States and compares to 5.3 Bcf/d (4.8
Bcf/d at KMP) when second quarter earnings were announced. Our pipelines
currently move about one-third of the natural gas consumed in America.”
KMP reported third quarter distributable cash flow before certain items
of $607 million, up 10 percent from $554 million for the comparable
period in 2013. Distributable cash flow per unit before certain items
was $1.31 compared to $1.27 for the third quarter last year. Third
quarter net income before certain items was $746 million compared to
$664 million for the same period in 2013. Net income was $976 million
compared to $697 million for the third quarter last year. Certain items
for the third quarter totaled a net gain of $230 million, primarily
reflecting a gain from a certain item from the early termination of a
long-term natural gas transportation contract, versus a net gain of $33
million for the same period last year.
For the first nine months of the year, KMP reported distributable cash
flow before certain items of $1.861 billion, up from $1.609 billion for
the comparable period in 2013. Distributable cash flow per unit before
certain items was $4.08 compared to $3.94 for the same period last year.
Net income before certain items was $2.232 billion compared to $1.946
billion for the first three quarters of 2013. Net income was $2.399
billion compared to $2.499 billion for the same period last year.
Certain items for the first nine months of the year totaled a net gain
of $167 million versus a net gain of $553 million for the same period
last year, again, reflecting a large gain from certain items in the
year-to-date period last year primarily related to re-measurement of
KMP’s original 50 percent interest in the Eagle Ford Gathering joint
venture to fair market value as a result of the Copano acquisition.
Kim Dang Joins Office of the Chairman
The Kinder Morgan companies have named Chief Financial Officer Kim Dang
to the Office of the Chairman. Ms. Dang will be involved in the
strategic and policy decisions of the company, the day-to-day management
of the company and the company’s capital allocation to new investments.
“I’m delighted to add Kim to the Office of the Chairman in recognition
of her contributions over the years, as well as the considerable talent
and experience she will bring to bear on continuing our success at
Kinder Morgan,” said Kinder. The Office of the Chairman also includes
Chairman and CEO Rich Kinder and President and Chief Operating Officer
Steve Kean.
Overview of Business Segments
The Natural Gas Pipelines business produced third quarter segment
earnings before DD&A and certain items of $661 million, up 9 percent
from $608 million for the same period last year. Natural Gas Pipelines
expects to exceed its published annual budget of 14 percent growth.
“This segment’s strong results and the increase in earnings compared to
the third quarter last year was led by outstanding performance at TGP,
along with good results from El Paso Natural Gas (EPNG) and South Texas
midstream assets,” Kinder said. “TGP’s services continue to be in high
demand due primarily to ongoing growth in the Marcellus and Utica shale
plays. Earnings were boosted by a number of TGP expansion projects that
came online last fall and earlier this year, which resulted in an 18
percent throughput increase on TGP compared to the third quarter of
2013.” Additional third quarter highlights included higher throughput on
EPNG compared to the same period last year due to an increase in
deliveries to California for storage refill and natural gas exports to
Mexico, along with higher gathering volumes on South Texas midstream
assets from the Eagle Ford Shale.
Natural gas transport volumes in this segment were up almost 10 percent
compared to the third quarter last year and gathering volumes rose about
6 percent.
Natural gas continues to be the fuel of choice for America’s future
energy needs and certain industry experts are projecting gas demand
increases of about 35 percent to approximately 100 Bcf/d over the next
10 years. “This increase in natural gas supply and demand is driving the
need for transport capacity from the Marcellus and Utica shale plays to
growing demand centers on the Gulf Coast,” Kinder explained. “Additional
opportunities include the need for more capacity in the Northeast,
demand for gas-fired power generation, LNG exports and exports to
Mexico. KMP currently has a backlog of natural gas projects of more than
$3 billion.”
The CO2 business produced third quarter segment
earnings before DD&A and certain items of $363 million, up 4 percent
from $349 million for the same period in 2013. The CO2
business is expected to be modestly below its published annual budget of
8 percent growth.
“Growth in this segment compared to the third quarter of 2013 was led by
our large SACROC Unit, which reported superb results with a 12 percent
increase in oil production and a 7 percent increase in NGL sales
volumes,” Kinder said. “NGL production at SACROC is on track for a
record year. Third quarter earnings also benefited from an increase in
oil production at the Katz Field versus the same period last year, but
were negatively impacted by the Midland to Cushing price differential,
which continued to be high.”
Combined gross oil production volumes averaged 57 thousand barrels per
day (MBbl/d) for the third quarter, up 6 percent versus the same period
last year. SACROC production was up 12 percent (33.1 MBbl/d versus 29.6
MBbl/d for the third quarter of 2013) and significantly ahead of plan.
The average West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil price for the third
quarter was $97.17 compared to the company’s third quarter WTI budget of
$94.98. However, net prices were actually down $8.45 per barrel versus
the third quarter budget due to the impact of the Midland to Cushing
differential noted above.
CO2 production in southwest Colorado was flat compared to the
third quarter of 2013 and approximately 8 percent higher for the first
three quarters than a year ago.
The Products Pipelines business produced third quarter segment
earnings before DD&A and certain items of $222 million, up 10 percent
from $202 million for the comparable period in 2013. Products Pipelines
is expected to be modestly below its published annual budget of
18 percent growth.
“Growth in this segment compared to the third quarter of 2013 was driven
by higher volumes on the KMCC pipeline, as we continued to see a ramp up
and strong demand for Eagle Ford condensate,” Kinder said. “Higher
margins on the Pacific pipeline also contributed to the increase. Growth
was offset somewhat by a decline in product pricing in our transmix
business and further impacted by a delay in the startup of our
approximately $360 million petroleum condensate processing facility on
the Houston Ship Channel, due primarily to inclement weather.”
Total refined products volumes for the third quarter were up 6.8 percent
(4.1 percent excluding Parkway) compared to the same period last year.
Volumes on Plantation and Parkway increased by 24 percent versus the
third quarter last year, as demand in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic for
refined products from the Gulf Coast increased, and as a result of
Parkway’s startup in September 2013. Segment gasoline volumes (including
transported ethanol on the Central Florida Pipeline) and diesel volumes
were up nicely compared to the third quarter last year, primarily due to
strong demand on Plantation and Parkway being in service. Jet volumes
were also up.
Products Pipelines handled about 11.5 million barrels of biofuels
(ethanol and biodiesel) in the third quarter, up 5 percent from the same
period a year ago. The increase was driven by volume growth at our Tampa
ethanol receipt facility and biodiesel blending projects coming online
this year on the West Coast. This segment continues to make investments
in assets across its operations to accommodate more biofuels.
The Terminals business produced third quarter segment earnings
before DD&A and certain items of $247 million, up 25 percent from $199
million for the same period in 2013. The Terminals segment is on track
to slightly exceed its published annual budget of 21 percent annual
growth due to the acquisition of American Petroleum Tankers (APT) in
January.
“Approximately 70 percent of the growth in this segment versus the third
quarter of 2013 was organic, with the remainder coming from
acquisitions,” Kinder said. “The increase in earnings was driven by
strong performance at our liquids facilities, predominantly driven by
the placing in service of the BOSTCO and Edmonton Terminal expansions,
plus the APT acquisition. Strong petcoke volumes, including the impact
of the BP Whiting expansion, improved steel pricing and good performance
at our ethanol terminals also contributed to this segment’s earnings
increase.” Export coal tonnage declined by 22 percent versus the third
quarter last year. However, the impact on segment earnings was lessened
by the long-term minimum tonnage commitments the company has with many
of its customers.
For the third quarter, Terminals handled 18.3 million barrels of
ethanol, up significantly from 15.9 million barrels for the same period
last year. Combined, the Terminals and Products Pipelines business
segments handled 29.1 million barrels of ethanol, up 11 percent from
26.1 million barrels for the third quarter of 2013. KMP currently
handles approximately one-third of the ethanol used in the United States.
Kinder Morgan Canada produced third quarter segment earnings
before DD&A and certain items of $50 million versus the $44 million it
reported for the same period in 2013. The increase is primarily due to a
change in the foreign exchange rate. Demand remained high for the Trans
Mountain Pipeline capacity, with increased mainline throughput into
Washington state versus the third quarter last year.
2014 Outlook
Kinder Morgan, Inc. announced Aug. 10, 2014, that it will acquire all of
the publicly held shares/units of KMP, Kinder Morgan Management and El
Paso Pipeline Partners in an approximately $70 billion transaction. The
boards of all of the Kinder Morgan companies voted to recommend the
transaction to their respective unitholders and shareholders. After the
transaction, KMI will have a projected dividend of $2.00 per share for
2015, a 16 percent increase over the budgeted 2014 KMI dividend target
of $1.72 per share.
KMI has received all necessary regulatory approvals except that its
Registration Statement on Form S-4 has not yet been declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company expects to
announce the date of KMP’s unitholder meeting in the near future and
continues to anticipate the transaction will close before year end. For
more information on this transaction, please visit the Kinder Morgan web
site at www.kindermorgan.com.
Absent a close of the proposed transaction with Kinder Morgan, Inc.
prior to the fourth quarter record date (typically in late January), KMP
would expect to declare cash distributions of $5.58 per unit for 2014
and Kinder Morgan Management would expect to declare distributions of
$5.58 per share (in the form of additional KMR shares) for 2014. This
represents a 5 percent increase over the $5.33 per unit/share declared
for 2013. Assuming the anticipated fourth quarter close of the
transaction, all KMI shareholders as of the fourth quarter record date
will receive the KMI dividend for that quarter.

CO2
In response to the industry’s ongoing strong demand for CO2,
KMP continues to make progress on various expansion projects designed to
increase production and transportation of CO2 for use in
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects in the Permian Basin of West Texas
and eastern New Mexico. The expansions noted below and other
opportunities being pursued by the company are expected to lead to more
than $2 billion in investments that would increase KMP’s CO2 production
and transport volumes by an additional 700 million cubic feet per day
(MMcf/d) by 2017 (including projects below). This would bring the
company’s total system capacity to approximately 2 Bcf/d of CO2.
-
KMP’s Yellow Jacket Central Facility expansion was placed into service
on Sept. 29, about six weeks ahead of schedule. The approximately $214
million booster compression project at the McElmo Dome source field in
southwestern Colorado will increase CO2 production by up to
90 MMcf/d.
-
Construction is going well at KMP’s approximately $344 million Cow
Canyon expansion project in southwestern Colorado, including the
drilling of production wells. This expansion is expected to increase CO2
production in the Cow Canyon area of the McElmo Dome source field by
200 MMcf/d. KMP anticipates that 100 MMcf/d of CO2 will
come online by July 2015 and the remaining 100 MMcf/d is expected to
be in service by the end of 2015.
-
KMP continues to move forward on its proposed $310 million Lobos
Pipeline, a new, 214-mile pipeline that will transport CO2
from the company’s St. Johns source field in Apache County, Arizona,
to the Kinder Morgan-operated Cortez Pipeline in Torrance County, New
Mexico. The pipeline will have an initial capacity of 300 MMcf/d. The
company also plans to invest approximately $700 million to drill wells
and build field gathering, treatment and compression facilities at the
St. Johns CO2 source field. Pending regulatory approvals,
the project is expected to be in service by the third quarter of 2016.
-
Final design is underway and major equipment and pipe have been
ordered for KMP’s approximately $327 million Cortez Pipeline
expansion. The pipeline transports CO2 from southwestern
Colorado to eastern New Mexico and West Texas for use in EOR projects,
and the expansion will increase capacity from 1.35 Bcf/d to 2 Bcf/d.
Pending regulatory approvals, the northern portion of the Cortez
Pipeline expansion is expected to be completed by July 2015 to handle
the additional volumes from Cow Canyon, while the southern portion is
expected to be complete by mid 2016 to handle the additional 300
MMcf/d of CO2 KMP expects from the company’s St. Johns CO2
source field.
-
KMP continues to move forward on an approximately $45 million project
to transport and process produced gas from the Chevron-operated
Reinecke Field Unit in Borden County, Texas, to Kinder Morgan’s SACROC
complex in Scurry County, Texas. As part of the project, KMP plans to
build a new, 15-mile pipeline with an initial capacity of 50 MMcf/d to
transport the gas to SACROC for CO2 and hydrocarbon
processing, and to expand gathering, compression and processing
facilities at its SACROC facility. The project is expected to be
completed in the third quarter of 2015.
Products Pipelines
-
KMP in September entered into a long-term transportation agreement
with NOVA Chemicals as anchor shipper of its previously announced
Utica to Ontario Pipeline Access (UTOPIA) project. The announcement
came during a binding open season for the project, which will
transport ethane and ethane-propane mixtures from the prolific Utica
Shale. Although we will continue to solicit additional volume
commitments, this transportation agreement provides the necessary
commitment level required to move forward with the project. The
approximately $500 million UTOPIA project is expected to have an
initial capacity of 50,000 barrels per day (bpd), expandable to more
than 75,000 bpd. With the receipt of necessary permitting and
regulatory approvals, the project is expected to be in service by
early 2018.
-
Also in September, KMP extended its binding open season for the
proposed Palmetto Project to Oct. 30. The approximately $1 billion
project would move gasoline, diesel and ethanol from Louisiana,
Mississippi and South Carolina to points in South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida. The project has a design capacity of 167,000 bpd and
would consist of a segment of expansion capacity that Palmetto would
lease from Plantation Pipe Line Company and a new 360-mile pipeline
that would be built from Belton, South Carolina to Jacksonville,
Florida. Pending a successful extended open season and timely
regulatory approvals, the project remains on track for an in-service
date of July 2017.
-
Construction continues on KMP’s approximately $360 million petroleum
condensate processing facility near its Galena Park terminal on the
Houston Ship Channel. Supported by a long-term, fee-based agreement
with BP North America for all 100,000 bpd of throughput capacity, the
project includes building two separate units to split condensate into
various components and construct storage tanks totaling almost 2
million barrels to support the processing operation. Due to inclement
weather and vendor delays, the first phase of the splitter is now
scheduled to be commissioned in December 2014 and operational in
January 2015, and the second phase is expected to come online in the
summer of 2015.
-
KMP continues to develop its Utica Marcellus Texas Pipeline (UMTP),
which was announced in the fourth quarter of 2013. The proposed UMTP
would involve the abandonment and conversion of over 1,000 miles of
natural gas service on TGP, the construction of approximately 200
miles of new pipeline from Louisiana to Texas and 155 miles of new
laterals in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. The pipeline, which
will provide connectivity to major processing and fractionation hubs
in the basin, will terminate in Mont Belvieu, Texas, and have a
maximum design capacity of 375,000 bpd for transporting Y-grade
natural gas liquids. Discussions remain ongoing with potential
shippers, with an anticipated in-service date in 2018.
-
KMP continues to see strong interest for transportation of Eagle Ford
crude and condensate to the Houston Ship Channel. In August, KMP
announced a long-term transportation agreement with Republic Midstream
Marketing to build an interconnect and other facilities for its Kinder
Morgan Crude and Condensate (KMCC) pipeline. In September, KMCC began
operations of the Helena Extension project, moving Eagle Ford crude
and condensate production from Karnes County to the Houston Ship
Channel and the Phillips 66 Sweeny Refinery. At this point, the
company has secured long-term commitments for more than 75 percent of
the 300,000 bpd of capacity on its KMCC pipeline and expects to have
all of the capacity fully contracted in the first quarter of 2015.
Including joint ventures and other projects, KMP’s planned investments
related to Eagle Ford crude and condensate opportunities currently
total approximately $1 billion, all of which are supported by
long-term contracts with customers. These expansions will further
enhance the connectivity of the KMCC system to additional Eagle Ford
supplies and Texas Gulf Coast market outlets. KMP expects to bring
these projects online as they are completed between now and the first
half of 2015.
-
SFPP reached a settlement with its shippers in the longstanding rate
proceedings pending before the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC). The settlement includes refunds in the amount of $319 million,
which is consistent with the reserve amount established by KMP. It
also includes a three year moratorium on new rate filings or
complaints and establishes current rates consistent with the revenues
recognized by SFPP in 2014. The settlement has been filed with the
Administrative Law Judges handling the various proceedings. Approval
is expected in the fourth quarter, at which time the refund amount
will be paid. The refund will have no impact on KMP’s earnings in the
fourth quarter or KMP’s 2014 outlook for distribution to its limited
partners.
Terminals
-
Construction was completed in September at the Houston Ship Channel on
the second phase of the Battleground Oil Specialty Terminal Company
(BOSTCO) expansion, which added 900,000 incremental barrels of
distillate product storage capacity, a rail header extension and 24
rail spots. The approximately $540 million BOSTCO terminal is fully
subscribed for a total capacity of 7.1 million barrels and handles
ultra-low sulfur diesel, residual fuels and other black oil terminal
services. KMP owns 55 percent of and operates BOSTCO.
-
Three of the four tanks being added to KMP’s Edmonton Terminal as part
of a 1.2 million barrel, phase-two expansion were placed into service
in the third quarter, with the final tank expected to come online in
the fourth quarter. In total, the two-phase expansion project will add
4.6 million barrels of storage capacity at the terminal for crude oil
and refined petroleum products. The approximately $420 million project
is supported by long-term contracts with major producers and refiners.
-
In the third quarter, KMP announced that its 50-50 joint venture with
Imperial Oil Limited entered into additional firm take or pay
agreements with strong, credit worthy oil company majors sufficient to
allow a planned expansion project to move forward to add incremental
capacity of 110,000 bpd at the Edmonton Rail Terminal. The terminal is
under construction and will increase its capacity at startup in the
first quarter of 2015 to over 210,000 bpd and potentially up to
250,000 bpd. The terminal will be connected via pipeline to the Trans
Mountain terminal and will be capable of sourcing all crude streams
handled by Kinder Morgan for delivery by rail to North American
markets and refineries.
-
Work continues at the Kinder Morgan Export Terminal along the Houston
Ship Channel to construct a new ship dock that will handle ocean going
vessels and provide 1.5 million barrels of liquids storage capacity.
The approximately $172 million project is supported by a long-term
contract with a major ship channel refiner and will connect to KMP’s
nearby Galena Park Terminal. The project is expected to be in service
in the second quarter of 2016.
-
At KMP’s Galena Park and Pasadena terminals, construction continues on
nine additional storage tanks with a total capacity of 1.2 million
barrels and a new barge dock. In the third quarter, three storage
tanks at Galena Park were completed and the balance will be phased
into service through the first quarter of 2015. The barge dock at
Pasadena will provide capacity to handle up to 50 barges per month and
is expected to be operational in the third quarter of 2015. Capital
expenditures for the project are approximately $118 million.
-
In September, the first steel was cut for the Lone Star State,
one of five Jones Act tankers ordered by KMP’s American Petroleum
Tankers under a construction contract awarded to General
Dynamics NASSCO’s San Diego shipyard. The contract calls for the
design and construction of five, 50,000-deadweight-ton,
LNG-conversion-ready product carriers, each with a 330,000 barrel
cargo capacity. The 610-foot-long tankers are a new “ECO” design,
offering improved fuel efficiency, and include the latest
environmental protection features, including a ballast water treatment
system. The tankers, to be delivered between 2015 and 2017, are
supported by long-term time charters with major shippers.
-
Construction of the previously announced expansion at KMP’s Deeprock
Development joint venture was virtually completed in the third
quarter, on time and on budget. The project added 1.5 million barrels
of storage capacity and two pipelines with connectivity to five
Cushing, Oklahoma, area destinations. Additionally, the system
improvements provide Tallgrass Energy Partners’ Pony Express Pipeline
with up to 350,000 bpd of capacity. KMP owns 51 percent of the joint
venture and will invest approximately $32 million in the project.
-
Construction is nearly complete at KMP’s and Keyera Corp.’s previously
announced joint venture crude oil rail loading facility in Edmonton.
The Alberta Crude Terminal will be able to accept crude oil streams
handled at KMP’s North 40 Terminal for loading and delivery via rail
to refineries anywhere in North America. The facility will be operated
by Keyera and will be capable of loading approximately 40,000 bpd of
crude oil into tank cars. KMP is investing approximately $31 million
in the project, which is expected to be in full service in the fourth
quarter of 2014.
-
As announced yesterday, KMP will further expand its Pasadena and
Galena Park terminals to help meet growing demand for refined product
storage and dock services along the Houston Ship Channel. The combined
investment of approximately $240 million will include construction of
2.1 million barrels of storage between the two terminals. KMP will
also construct a new ship dock capable of handling ocean going
vessels. The project is backstopped by long-term contracts with
existing customers. The new ship dock, along with existing Galena Park
ship docks, will double the load rate up to 15,000 barrels per hour.
The company sees continuing strong demand for transporting fuel to the
Gulf Coast to reach export markets.
Kinder Morgan Canada
-
Kinder Morgan Canada is currently engaged in the process of achieving
approval from the National Energy Board for the Trans Mountain
Expansion Project. The company continues to engage extensively with
landowners, Aboriginal groups, communities and stakeholders along the
proposed expansion route, and marine communities. In August, based on
feedback from landowners and local residents, Trans Mountain
determined that tunneling or drilling under Burnaby mountain was less
disruptive than constructing the pipe in road right-of-way and
landowners’ yards, and switched its preferred route from the roadway
to a route through the mountain. The National Energy Board ruled that
it was appropriate to extend the timeline for consideration of the
application by seven months to permit examination of this route. The
NEB decision is scheduled for January of 2016 and the company now
expects the Trans Mountain expansion to be completed in the third
quarter of 2018. Thirteen companies in the Canadian producing and oil
marketing business signed firm contracts supporting the project for
approximately 708,000 bpd. Kinder Morgan Canada received approval of
the commercial terms related to the expansion from the NEB in May of
2013. The proposed $5.4 billion expansion will increase capacity on
Trans Mountain from approximately 300,000 bpd to 890,000 bpd.

The non-generally accepted accounting principles, or non-GAAP,
financial measures of distributable cash flow before certain items, both
in the aggregate and per unit, and segment earnings before depreciation,
depletion, amortization and amortization of excess cost of equity
investments, or DD&A, and certain items, are presented in this news
release.
Distributable cash flow before certain items is a significant metric
used by us and by external users of our financial statements, such as
investors, research analysts, commercial banks and others, to compare
basic cash flows generated by us to the cash distributions we expect to
pay our unitholders on an ongoing basis. Management uses this
metric to evaluate our overall performance. It also allows
management to simply calculate the coverage ratio of estimated ongoing
cash flows to expected cash distributions. Distributable cash
flow before certain items is also an important non-GAAP financial
measure for our unitholders because it serves as an indicator of our
success in providing a cash return on investment. This financial
measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash
flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in the quarterly
distributions we are paying pursuant to our partnership agreement. Our
partnership agreement requires us to distribute all available cash. Distributable
cash flow before certain items and similar measures used by other
publicly traded partnerships are also quantitative measures used in the
investment community because the value of a unit of such an entity is
generally determined by the unit’s yield (which in turn is based on the
amount of cash distributions the entity pays to a unitholder
relative to the unit price). The economic substance behind our
use of distributable cash flow before certain items is to measure and
estimate the ability of our assets to generate cash flows sufficient to
make distributions to our investors.
We define distributable cash flow before certain items to be limited
partners’ pretax income before certain items and DD&A, less cash taxes
paid and sustaining capital expenditures for KMP, plus DD&A less
sustaining capital expenditures for our equity method investees, less
equity earnings plus cash distributions received for Express and
Endeavor (additional equity investees).
Distributable cash flow before certain items per unit is
distributable cash flow before certain items divided by average
outstanding units. “Certain items” are items that are required by
GAAP to be reflected in net income, but typically either (1) do not have
a cash impact, for example, goodwill impairments, allocated compensation
for which we will never be responsible, and results from assets prior to
our ownership that are required to be reflected in our results due to
accounting rules regarding entities under common control, or (2) by
their nature are separately identifiable from our normal business
operations and in our view are likely to occur only sporadically, for
example certain legal settlements, hurricane impacts and casualty losses.
Management uses this measure and believes it is important to users of
our financial statements because it believes the measure more
effectively reflects our business’ ongoing cash generation capacity than
a similar measure with the certain items included.
For similar reasons, management uses segment earnings before DD&A and
certain items in its analysis of segment performance and management of
our business. General and administrative expenses are generally
not controllable by our business segment operating managers, and
therefore, are not included when we measure business segment operating
performance. We believe segment earnings before DD&A and certain
items is a significant performance metric because it enables us and
external users of our financial statements to better understand the
ability of our segments to generate cash on an ongoing basis. We
believe it is useful to investors because it is a measure that
management believes is important and that our chief operating decision
makers use for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources
to our segments and assessing the segments’ respective performance.
We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable
cash flow before certain items is net income. Our calculation of
distributable cash flow before certain items, which begins with net
income after adjusting for certain items that are specifically
identified in the accompanying tables, is set forth in those tables. Net
income before certain items is presented primarily because we use it in
this calculation. Segment earnings before DD&A as presented in
our GAAP financials is the measure most directly comparable to segment
earnings before DD&A and certain items. Segment earnings
before DD&A and certain items is calculated by adjusting for the certain
items attributable to a segment, which are specifically identified in
the footnotes to the accompanying tables, from segment earnings before
DD&A. In addition, segment earnings before DD&A as presented
in our GAAP financials is included on the first page of the tables
presenting our financial results.
Our non-GAAP measures described above should not be considered as an
alternative to GAAP net income, segment earnings before DD&A or any
other GAAP measure. Distributable cash flow before certain items and
segment earnings before DD&A and certain items are not financial
measures in accordance with GAAP and have important limitations as
analytical tools. You should not consider either of these non-GAAP
measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results
as reported under GAAP. Because distributable cash flow before
certain items excludes some but not all items that affect net income and
because distributable cash flow measures are defined differently by
different companies in our industry, our distributable cash flow before
certain items may not be comparable to distributable cash flow measures
of other companies. Segment earnings before DD&A and certain
items has similar limitations. Management compensates for the
limitations of these non-GAAP measures by reviewing our comparable GAAP
measures, understanding the differences between the measures and taking
this information into account in its analysis and its decision making
processes.
