Kinder Morgan Increases Dividend to $0.2775 Per Share Per Quarter and Announces Results for First Quarter of 2022

April 20, 2022

Kinder Morgan, Inc.’s (NYSE: KMI) board of directors today approved a cash dividend of $0.2775 per share for the first quarter ($1.11 annualized), payable on May 16, 2022, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 2, 2022. This dividend is a 3% increase over the first quarter of 2021 and marks the fifth consecutive annual increase.

KMI is reporting first quarter net income attributable to KMI of $667 million, compared to $1,409 million in the first quarter of 2021; and distributable cash flow (DCF) of $1,455 million, compared to $2,329 million in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted Earnings were $732 million for the quarter, versus $1,374 million in the first quarter of 2021. First quarter 2021 results were favorably impacted by earnings during the February 2021 Winter Storm Uri. Excluding those nonrecurring earnings, our current quarter earnings would be above the prior-year period.

“The company is off to a great start this year and once again generated robust earnings and strong coverage of this quarter’s dividend. We continue to live within our cash flow, have reduced our debt by more than $11 billion since 2015, and plan for this year to be the fifth consecutive year of increased dividends. During 2022 we expect to once again fund our expansion capital opportunities internally, meet or exceed our debt metric goal, and return excess cash to our shareholders through a dividend increase and opportunistic share repurchases,” said KMI Executive Chairman Richard D. Kinder.

“We are seeing great opportunities, both in our traditional segments and in our growing participation in the low-carbon energy evolution,” said KMI Chief Executive Officer Steve Kean. “While we are benefiting from commodity price tailwinds, we are also performing better than budget in a number of areas, which is more than offsetting some higher cost headwinds. Even excluding the commodity price tailwinds, we are above DCF plan for the quarter.”

Kean continued, “We are seeing growth in our base natural gas business as more customers seek to take advantage of the extensive firm transport and storage services we offer. That growth is coming from favorable renewals, especially on our flexible storage services, and from incremental growth opportunities. Our Stagecoach acquisition is fully integrated with our commercial and physical operations, producing the commercial opportunities we expected, and exceeding the acquisition model.

“Our Products business segment strongly outperformed the first quarter of 2021 and our Terminals segment also closed the quarter up relative to the prior year period. Our CO2 business is benefiting from higher crude prices and is also exceeding its oil production and CO2 volume targets,” Kean said.

“Our assets will be needed for a long time to come, providing the same services they do today. We have also positioned ourselves for the ongoing energy evolution. We are investing in our pipelines and terminals in support of renewable diesel and the associated feedstocks. We continue to leverage our status as a low methane emission intensity leader within our sector as interest in responsibly sourced natural gas grows within our customer base. And our investment in renewable natural gas is presenting good additional growth opportunities,” Kean concluded.

“KMI’s financial performance during the quarter was strong, as we generated earnings per share of $0.29 and DCF per share of $0.64. While these both represent a decrease from the first quarter of 2021, those 2021 results were positively impacted by the nonrecurring earnings achieved during Winter Storm Uri,” said KMI President Kim Dang. “Excluding Uri-related earnings from our 2021 results, earnings per share for the quarter were up 17% and DCF per share was up 16% as compared to the first quarter of 2021. Compared to our budget, net income attributable to KMI during the quarter was down $28 million, largely due to unsettled commodity hedges, which we treat as certain items. Adjusted Earnings, which exclude certain items, exceeded our budget for the quarter by $40 million, and DCF exceeded our budget by $62 million, or 4%. Also during the quarter, we generated $822 million of excess DCF above our declared dividend.”

2022 Outlook

For 2022, KMI budgeted to generate net income attributable to KMI of $2.5 billion and declare dividends of $1.11 per share, a 3% increase from the 2021 declared dividends. KMI also budgeted to generate 2022 DCF of $4.7 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $7.2 billion and to end 2022 with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.3 times. KMI now expects net income, EBITDA and DCF to be favorable to budget due to stronger than expected commodity prices and favorable operating results from our Natural Gas and CO2 business segments, partially offset by higher costs.

Overview of Business Segments

“The Natural Gas Pipelines segment’s financial performance was down in the first quarter of 2022 relative to the first quarter of 2021, again due to the nonrecurring earnings during the February 2021 storm” said Dang. “Excluding the 2021 winter storm earnings, financial performance was up on higher contributions from the Texas Intrastate system, from Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP), from our new Stagecoach assets and from favorable pricing on the Altamont and Copano South Texas gathering systems as well as increased volumes on our KinderHawk gathering system. These were partially offset by lower contributions from El Paso Natural Gas (EPNG) and Colorado Interstate Pipeline (CIG).”

Natural gas transport volumes were up 2% compared to the first quarter of 2021, with increases on Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline (KMLP), Natural Gas Pipeline of America (NGPL) and TGP due to increased deliveries to LNG customers; and from our new Stagecoach assets. These increases were partially offset by declines on EPNG due to pipeline outages; and on Wyoming Interstate Company and Cheyenne Plains Gas Pipeline due to continued declining production in the Rockies basins. Natural gas gathering volumes were up 12% from the first quarter of 2021 with higher volumes primarily on KinderHawk.

“Contributions from the Products Pipelines segment were up compared to the first quarter of 2021 as demand recovery continued,” Dang said. “Total refined products volumes were up 7%, while crude and condensate pipeline volumes were down 4% compared to the first quarter of 2021. Gasoline volumes were above the comparable period last year by 5% and diesel volumes were down 3%. Jet fuel volumes continue their strong rebound, up 38% versus the first quarter of 2021.

Terminals segment earnings were up compared to the first quarter of 2021. In our liquids business, we saw strong gains in volumes across both our truck rack terminals and refined product hub facilities, which benefited from higher refinery utilization rates and continued demand recovery compared to the prior year period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, steep backwardation in refined product futures price curves has presented a headwind for product storage and blending economics, contributing to lower utilization rates and modest rate pressure, principally in our New York Harbor hub. In our Jones Act tanker business, where fundamentals continue to improve, the benefit from higher fleet utilization was more than off-set by lower average charter rates compared to the first quarter of 2021 as vessels were recontracted into a lower, albeit improving, rate environment,” said Dang. “Earnings in our bulk business were higher compared to the first quarter of 2021 owing to gains in both handling rates and volumes for export coal and petroleum coke.

CO2 segment earnings were down compared to the first quarter of 2021 due to the fact that in the first quarter of 2021, the segment returned power to the grid by curtailing oil production during Winter Storm Uri under an existing contract with its power provider. Excluding the storm benefit in 2021, Q1 2022 segment financial performance was higher, primarily due to higher realized crude, NGL, and CO2 prices. Our realized weighted average crude oil price for the quarter was up 31% at $66.90 per barrel compared to $51.05 per barrel for the first quarter of 2021, while our weighted average NGL price for the quarter was up 117% from the first quarter of 2021 at $43.68 per barrel, and CO2 prices were up $0.47 or 45%,” said Dang. “First quarter 2022 combined oil production across all of our fields was flat compared to the same period in 2021 on a net to KMI basis. NGL volumes net to KMI were up 7% versus the first quarter of 2021, while CO2 sales volumes were down 10% on a net to KMI basis compared to the first quarter of 2021, due to the expiration of a carried interest following payout on a project in 2021. CO2 sales volumes were up 8% excluding that adjustment.”

Corporate

  • In February 2022, EPNG issued $300 million of 3.50% senior notes due February 2032 in order to repay maturing debt and for general corporate purposes.

Natural Gas Pipelines

  • Due to the increasing need for additional gas takeaway from the Permian basin, we are in discussions regarding primarily compression expansion opportunities that could come on beginning as early as the fourth quarter 2023 on both the Permian Highway Pipeline and Gulf Coast Express Pipeline. Combined, these projects would add more than 1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of additional takeaway capacity to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
  • On April 19, KMI announced its participation in a project led by Cheniere Energy, Inc., to improve the overall understanding of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and further the deployment of advanced monitoring technologies and protocols. The project includes several other midstream operators and leading academic institutions, and is focused on quantifying, monitoring, reporting and verifying (QMRV) GHG emissions associated with the midstream sector. KMI assets involved in this project include select pipeline segments and compressor stations on the TGP, KMLP and NGPL systems. Ground-based, aerial, and measurement technologies will be used to establish baseline emissions levels, monitor sites for methane emissions and verify emissions performance.
  • On March 31, 2022, TGP filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) changes to its proposal to implement a responsibly sourced natural gas (RSG) supply aggregation pooling service at several locations across the TGP system. These changes address concerns posed by certain shippers and resulted in the withdrawal of their protests. The proposed service is designed to enable suppliers and customers on TGP to purchase and sell RSG supply at non-physical trading locations, ultimately serving utilities, power plants and LNG facilities connected to the TGP system. Producers who have already obtained RSG certifications from qualified third-party organizations are anticipated to supply the RSG for the proposed pooling service, and the supply is expected to grow as RSG becomes the fuel of choice among customers. Pending regulatory approval from the FERC, this service is expected to be available May 1, 2022.
  • On March 31, 2022, Ruby Pipeline, L.L.C., a joint venture between KMI and Pembina Pipeline Corporation that owns a natural gas pipeline extending from Wyoming to Oregon, filed to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in response to a debt repayment obligation. KMI continues to operate the pipeline. The timing and outcome of the reorganization are uncertain at this time. KMI previously wrote off its investment in Ruby, and our financial outlook does not assume any capital contribution to or equity earnings contribution from the asset.

Products Pipelines

  • KMI continues to make progress on its previously announced renewable diesel hub at our Bradshaw Terminal in Northern California, with permitting and engineering design underway. We are constructing a $36 million renewable diesel rail hub to accommodate up to 15,000 barrels per day of blended diesel throughput at the truck rack. This project is supported by customer commitments and is expected to be placed in service in the first quarter of 2023.
  • KMI continues to make progress on its previously announced Southern California renewable diesel hub, with permitting and engineering design underway. The Southern California hub will connect marine and other delivered renewable diesel supplies in the Los Angeles harbor area to the Colton (Inland Empire) and Mission Valley (San Diego) areas via KMI’s SFPP pipeline. With an anticipated in-service date in the first quarter of 2023, this will be the first movement of pure renewable diesel by pipeline in the country. At Colton, the project will allow customers to deliver renewable diesel for blending with regular diesel and biodiesel for multiple concentrations of renewable fuel at our truck racks. The Southern California renewable diesel hub will accommodate, in aggregate, up to 20,000 barrels per day of blended diesel throughput across the two inland destination truck racks. The project is anchored by customer commitments.
  • KMI continues construction work at its Carson Terminal to connect marine supplies of renewable diesel coming into its Los Angeles harbor hub to its truck rack for delivery of unblended renewable diesel to the local markets. This project is currently expected to be in service in December 2022.

  • Tank conversion work continues on the initial phase of the renewable feedstock storage and logistics hub under development at KMI’s Harvey, Louisiana facility. Upon completion of the project, the facility will serve as the primary hub where Neste, a leading provider of renewable and circular solutions, will store a variety of feedstocks such as used cooking oil. The approximately $65 million project, which is supported by a long-term commercial commitment from Neste, is expected to commence operations in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Long-lead equipment has been ordered for a previously-announced project that will significantly reduce the emissions profile of KMI’s refined products terminal hub along the Houston Ship Channel. The approximately $64 million investment will address emissions related to product handling activities at KMI’s Galena Park and Pasadena terminals. The expected Scope 1 & 2 CO2 equivalent emissions reduction across the combined facilities has been updated to reflect final operating parameter assumptions, as well as waste gas combustion reductions, and now stands at approximately 34,000 metric tons per year or a 38% reduction in total facility GHG emissions versus 2019 (pre-pandemic). The project is expected to be in service by the third quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures of Adjusted Earnings and distributable cash flow (DCF), both in the aggregate and per share for each; segment earnings before depreciation, depletion, amortization (DD&A), amortization of excess cost of equity investments and Certain Items (Adjusted Segment EBDA); net income before interest expense, income taxes, DD&A, amortization of excess cost of equity investments and Certain Items (Adjusted EBITDA); Net Debt; Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA; and Free Cash Flow (FCF).

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 these non-GAAP financial 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.

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 our view are likely to occur only sporadically (for example, certain legal settlements, enactment of new tax legislation and casualty losses). We also include adjustments related to joint ventures (see “Amounts from Joint Ventures” below and the accompanying Tables 4 and 7).

Adjusted Earnings is calculated by adjusting net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for Certain Items. Adjusted Earnings is used by us and certain external users of our financial statements to assess the earnings of our business excluding Certain Items as another reflection of our ability to generate earnings. We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted Earnings is net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. Adjusted Earnings per share uses Adjusted Earnings and applies the same two-class method used in arriving at basic earnings per share. (See the accompanying Tables 1 and 2.)

DCF is calculated by adjusting net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for Certain Items (Adjusted Earnings), and further by DD&A and amortization of excess cost of equity investments, income tax expense, cash taxes, sustaining capital expenditures and other items. We also include amounts from joint ventures for income taxes, DD&A and sustaining capital expenditures (see “Amounts from Joint Ventures” below). DCF is a significant performance measure useful to management and external users of our financial statements in evaluating our performance and in measuring and estimating the ability of our assets to generate cash earnings after servicing our debt, paying cash taxes and expending sustaining capital, that could be used for discretionary purposes such as dividends, stock repurchases, retirement of debt, or expansion capital expenditures. 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 Tables 2 and 3.)

Adjusted Segment EBDA is calculated by adjusting segment earnings before DD&A and amortization of excess cost of equity investments (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. General and administrative expenses and certain corporate charges are generally not under the control of our segment operating managers, and therefore, are not included when we measure business segment operating performance. We believe Adjusted Segment EBDA is a useful performance metric because it provides management and external users of our financial statements additional insight into the ability of our segments to generate cash earnings on an ongoing basis. 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. We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted Segment EBDA is Segment EBDA. (See the accompanying Tables 3 and 7.)

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. before interest expense, income taxes, DD&A, and amortization of excess cost of equity investments (EBITDA) for Certain Items. We also include amounts from joint ventures for income taxes and DD&A (see “Amounts from Joint Ventures” below). Adjusted EBITDA is used by management and external users, in conjunction with our Net Debt (as described further below), to evaluate certain leverage metrics. Therefore, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors. 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 4.)

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. (See Table 7, Additional JV Information.) 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. Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is useful to investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating our leverage. We believe the most comparable measure to Net Debt is debt net of cash and cash equivalents as reconciled in the notes to the accompanying Preliminary Consolidated Balance Sheets in Table 6.

FCF is calculated by reducing cash flow from operations for capital expenditures (sustaining and expansion). FCF is used by external users as an additional leverage metric. Therefore, we believe FCF is useful to our investors. We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to FCF is cash flow from operations.
