KINDER MORGAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. General

Organization

We are one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in North America. We own an interest in or operate approximately 83,000 miles of pipelines, 141 terminals, 700 Bcf of working natural gas storage capacity and 2.2 Bcf per year of renewable natural gas generation capacity. Our pipelines transport natural gas, refined petroleum products, renewable fuels, crude oil, condensate, CO2 and other products, and our terminals store and handle various commodities including gasoline, diesel fuel, renewable fuel feedstocks, chemicals, ethanol, metals and petroleum coke.

Basis of Presentation

General

Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These rules and regulations conform to the accounting principles contained in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), the single source of GAAP. In compliance with such rules and regulations, all significant intercompany items have been eliminated in consolidation.

In our opinion, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and operating results for the interim periods have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year; accordingly, you should read these consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2021 Form 10-K.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries over which we have control or are the primary beneficiary. We evaluate our financial interests in business enterprises to determine if they represent variable interest entities where we are the primary beneficiary.  If such criteria are met, we consolidate the financial statements of such businesses with those of our own.

Goodwill

In addition to periodically evaluating long-lived assets and goodwill for impairment based on changes in market conditions, we evaluate goodwill for impairment on May 31 of each year. For our May 31, 2022 evaluation, we grouped our businesses into seven reporting units as follows: (i) Products Pipelines (excluding associated terminals); (ii) Products Pipelines Terminals (evaluated separately from Products Pipelines for goodwill purposes); (iii) Natural Gas Pipelines Regulated; (iv) Natural Gas Pipelines Non-Regulated; (v) CO2; (vi) Terminals and (vii) Energy Transition Ventures.

The fair value estimates used in our goodwill impairment test include Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. The inputs include valuation estimates using market approach valuation methodologies, which include assumptions primarily involving management’s significant judgments and estimates with respect to market multiples, comparable sales transactions, general economic conditions and the related demand for products handled or transported by our assets. Changes to any one or a combination of these factors would result in a change to the reporting unit fair values, which could lead to future impairment charges. Such potential non-cash impairments could have a significant effect on our results of operations.

The results of our May 31, 2022 annual impairment test indicated that for each of our reporting units, the reporting unit’s fair value exceeded the carrying value.

Earnings per Share

We calculate earnings per share using the two-class method. Earnings were allocated to Class P common stock and participating securities based on the amount of dividends paid in the current period plus an allocation of the undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings to the extent that each security participates in earnings or excess distributions over earnings. Our unvested restricted stock awards, which may be restricted stock or restricted stock units issued to employees and non-employee directors and include dividend equivalent payments, do not participate in excess distributions over earnings.

Business Combinations

As of September 30, 2022, our preliminary allocation of the purchase price for significant acquisitions completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are detailed below.

(2)7/22Mas CanAm, LLC358 9 31 319 — (1)

The acquired assets align with our strategy to invest in low-carbon energy and are included as part of our new Energy Transition Ventures group within our CO2 business segment.

(1) North American Natural Resources Acquisition

On August 11, 2022, we completed the acquisition of seven landfill assets from North American Natural Resources, Inc. and, its sister companies, North American Biofuels, LLC and North American-Central, LLC (NANR) consisting of gas-to-power facilities in Michigan and Kentucky for $132 million, including a preliminary purchase price adjustment for working capital. Other long-term assets within the purchase price allocation consists of intangibles related to gas rights and customer contracts with a weighted average amortization period of approximately 13 years. While our analysis of this transaction is ongoing, we currently believe the goodwill associated with this acquisition is tax deductible.

11


(2) Mas CanAm Acquisition

On July 19, 2022, we completed an acquisition of three landfill assets from Mas CanAm, LLC, comprising a renewable natural gas facility in Arlington, Texas and medium Btu facilities in Shreveport, Louisiana and Victoria, Texas for $358 million including a preliminary purchase price adjustment for working capital. Other long-term assets within the purchase price allocation reflects an intangible related to a customer contract with an amortization period of approximately 17 years.

Pro Forma Information

Pro forma consolidated income statement information that gives effect to the above acquisitions as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2022 is not presented because it would not be materially different from the information presented in our accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Goodwill

After measuring all of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value on the acquisition date, the excess purchase price is assigned to goodwill. Goodwill is an intangible asset representing the future economic benefits expected to be derived from an acquisition that are not assigned to other identifiable, separately recognizable assets. We believe the primary items that generated our goodwill are both the value of the synergies created between the acquired assets and our pre-existing assets, and/or our expected ability to grow the business we acquired by leveraging our pre-existing business experience. We apply a look through method of recording deferred income taxes on the outside book-tax basis differences in our investments. As a result, no deferred income taxes are recorded associated with non-deductible goodwill recorded at the investee level.

Changes in the amounts of our goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are summarized by reporting unit as follows:

Sale of Interest in Elba Liquefaction Company L.L.C.

On September 26, 2022, we completed the sale of a 25.5% ownership interest in Elba Liquefaction Company L.L.C. (ELC). We received net proceeds of $557 million which were used to reduce short-term borrowings. As we continue to have a controlling financial interest in ELC, we recorded an increase of $190 million to “Additional paid in capital” for the impact of the change in our ownership interest in ELC, which is reflected on our accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. We continue to own a 25.5% interest in and operate ELC.

We continue to consolidate ELC. We have determined that ELC is a variable interest entity and Southern Liquefaction Company, LLC (SLC), which is indirectly controlled by us, is the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact ELC’s economic performance and the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses. In addition to being the operator of ELC, the evaluation of ELC as a variable interest entity and SLC as the primary beneficiary included consideration of the following: (i) a liquefaction service agreement between ELC and its customer was designed for recovery by ELC of actual costs for operating and maintaining ELC’s facilities, which reduces the risk for all equity owners to absorb losses resulting from cost variability; and (ii) substantially all ELC’s activities involve KMI subsidiaries under common control that provide services for and benefit from the operations of ELC.

The following table shows the carrying amount and classification of ELC’s assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet:

We receive distributions from ELC, indirectly, through our interest in SLC, but otherwise, the assets of ELC cannot be used to settle our obligations. ELC’s creditors have no recourse against our general credit and the obligations of ELC may only be settled using the assets of ELC. ELC does not guarantee our debt or other similar commitments.

Sale of an Interest in NGPL Holdings

On March 8, 2021, we and Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (Brookfield) completed the sale of a combined 25% interest in our joint venture, NGPL Holdings LLC (NGPL Holdings), to a fund controlled by ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC (ArcLight). We received net proceeds of $412 million for our proportionate share of the interests sold. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $206 million for our proportionate share, which is included within “Other, net” on our accompanying consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We and Brookfield now each hold a 37.5% interest in NGPL Holdings.

3. Losses on Impairments and Other Write-downs

Long-lived Asset Impairment

During the second quarter of 2021, we evaluated our South Texas gathering and processing assets within our Natural Gas Pipeline business segment for impairment, which was driven by lower expectations regarding the volumes and rates associated with the re-contracting of contracts expiring through 2024. We utilized an income approach to estimate fair value and compared it to the carrying value. The significant assumptions made in calculating fair value include estimates of future cash flows and discount rates, a Level 3 input. As a result of our evaluation, we recognized a non-cash, long-lived asset impairment of $1,600 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Investment in Ruby

During the first quarter of 2021, we recognized a pre-tax charge of $117 million related to a write-down of our subordinated note receivable from our equity investee, Ruby, which is included within “Earnings from equity investments” on our accompanying consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The write-down was driven by the impairment recognized by Ruby of its assets.

Ruby Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filing

The balance of Ruby Pipeline, L.L.C.’s 2022 unsecured notes matured on April 1, 2022 in the principal amount of $475 million. Although Ruby has sufficient liquidity to operate its business, it lacked sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations under the 2022 unsecured notes on the maturity date of April 1, 2022. Accordingly, on March 31, 2022, Ruby filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Ruby, as the debtor, will continue to operate in the ordinary course as a debtor in possession under the jurisdiction of the United States Bankruptcy Court. We fully impaired our equity investment in Ruby in the fourth quarter of 2019 and fully impaired our investment in Ruby’s subordinated notes in the first quarter of 2021. We had no amounts included in our “Investments” on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets associated with Ruby as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

(b)Consists of senior notes denominated in Euros that have been converted to U.S. dollars. The December 31, 2021 balance is reported above at the exchange rate of 1.1370 U.S. dollars per Euro. As of December 31, 2021, the cumulative change in the exchange rate of U.S. dollars per Euro since issuance had resulted in an increase to our debt balance of $38 million related to these notes, which was offset by a corresponding change in the value of cross-currency swaps reflected in “Current Assets—Fair value of derivative contracts” and “Current Liabilities—Fair value of derivative contracts” on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At the time of issuance, we entered into foreign currency contracts associated with these senior notes, effectively converting these Euro-denominated senior notes to U.S. dollars (see Note 6 “Risk Management—Foreign Currency Risk Management”).
(c)We repaid the principal amount of these senior notes on June 1, 2022.
(d)These senior notes have an associated floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement which is designated as a cash flow hedge (see Note 6 “Risk Management—Interest Rate Risk Management”).
(e)Excludes our “Debt fair value adjustments” which, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, increased our total debt balances by $107 million and $902 million, respectively.

We and substantially all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are parties to a cross guarantee agreement whereby each party to the agreement unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, the payment of specified indebtedness of each other party to the agreement.

On February 23, 2022, EPNG issued in a private offering $300 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% senior notes due 2032 and received net proceeds of $298 million after discount and issuance costs. These notes are guaranteed through the cross guarantee agreement discussed above.

On August 3, 2022, we issued in a registered offering two series of senior notes consisting of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.80% senior notes due 2033 and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.45% senior notes due 2052 and received combined net proceeds of $1,484 million. We used a portion of the proceeds to repay short-term borrowings and for general corporate purposes.

Credit Facilities and Restrictive Covenants

As of September 30, 2022, we had no borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities, no borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program and $81 million in letters of credit. Our availability under our credit facilities as of September 30, 2022 was $3.9 billion. As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all required covenants.

5. Stockholders’ Equity

Class P Common Stock

On July 19, 2017, our board of directors approved a $2 billion share buy-back program that began in December 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased approximately 19 million of our shares for $333 million at an average price of $16.97 per share. Subsequent to September 30, 2022 and through October 20, 2022, we repurchased 2 million of our shares for $34 million at an average price of $16.75 per share, and since December 2017, in total, we have repurchased 54 million of our shares under the program at an average price of $17.40 per share for $942 million.

Adoption of Accounting Pronouncement

On January 1, 2022, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” This ASU (i) simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating two of the three models in ASC 470-20 that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features, (ii) amends diluted earnings per share calculations for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method and (iii) simplifies the settlement assessment entities are required to perform on contracts that can potentially settle in an entity’s own equity by removing certain requirements. Using the modified retrospective method, the adoption of this ASU resulted in a pre-tax adjustment of $14 million to unwind the remaining unamortized debt discount within “Debt fair value adjustments” on our consolidated balance sheet and an adjustment of $11 million to unwind the balance of the conversion feature classified in “Additional paid in capital” on our consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

6.  Risk Management

Certain of our business activities expose us to risks associated with unfavorable changes in the market price of natural gas, NGL and crude oil. We also have exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risk as a result of the issuance of our debt obligations. Pursuant to our management’s approved risk management policy, we use derivative contracts to hedge or reduce our exposure to some of these risks.

Energy Commodity Price Risk Management

As of September 30, 2022, we had the following outstanding commodity forward contracts to hedge our forecasted energy commodity purchases and sales:

As of September 30, 2022, the maximum length of time over which we have hedged, for accounting purposes, our exposure to the variability in future cash flows associated with energy commodity price risk is through December 2026.

Interest Rate Risk Management

We utilize interest rate derivatives to hedge our exposure to both changes in the fair value of our fixed rate debt instruments and variability in expected future cash flows attributable to variable interest rate payments. The following table summarizes our outstanding interest rate contracts as of September 30, 2022:

Credit Risks

In conjunction with certain derivative contracts, we are required to provide collateral to our counterparties, which may include posting letters of credit or placing cash in margin accounts. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no outstanding letters of credit supporting our commodity price risk management program. As of September 30, 2022, we had cash margins of $223 million posted by us with our counterparties as collateral and reported within “Restricted deposits” on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2021, we had cash margins of $14 million posted by our counterparties with us as collateral and reported within “Other current liabilities” on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The balance at September 30, 2022 represents our initial margin requirements of $88 million and variation margin requirements of $135 million posted by us with our counterparties. We also use industry standard commercial agreements that allow for the netting of exposures associated with transactions executed under a single commercial agreement. Additionally, we generally utilize master netting agreements to offset credit exposure across multiple commercial agreements with a single counterparty.

We also have agreements with certain counterparties to our derivative contracts that contain provisions requiring the posting of additional collateral upon a decrease in our credit rating. As of September 30, 2022, based on our current mark-to-market positions and posted collateral, we estimate that if our credit rating were downgraded one notch, we would not be required to post additional collateral. If we were downgraded two notches, we estimate that we would be required to post $100 million of additional collateral.

Excludes service contracts with index-based pricing, which along with revenues from other customer service contracts are reported as “Fee-based services.”
(c)Amounts recognized as revenue under guidance prescribed in Topics of the ASC other than in Topic 606 were primarily from leases and derivative contracts. See Note 6 “Risk Management” for additional information related to our derivative contracts.
(d)Our revenues from leasing services are predominantly comprised of specific assets that we lease to customers under operating leases where one customer obtains substantially all of the economic benefit from the asset and has the right to direct the use of that asset. These leases primarily consist of specific tanks, treating facilities, marine vessels and gas equipment and pipelines with separate control locations. We do not lease assets that qualify as sales-type or finance leases.

Contract Balances

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our contract asset balances were $57 million and $39 million, respectively. Of the contract asset balance at December 31, 2021, $29 million was transferred to accounts receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our contract liability balances were $204 million and $212 million, respectively. Of the contract liability balance at December 31, 2021, $77 million was recognized as revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Revenue Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

The following table presents our estimated revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, representing our “contractually committed” revenue as of September 30, 2022 that we will invoice or transfer from contract liabilities and recognize in future periods:
YearEstimated Revenue

Our contractually committed revenue, for purposes of the tabular presentation above, is generally limited to service or commodity sale customer contracts which have fixed pricing and fixed volume terms and conditions, generally including contracts with take-or-pay or minimum volume commitment payment obligations. Our contractually committed revenue amounts generally exclude, based on the following practical expedient that we elected to apply, remaining performance obligations for contracts with index-based pricing or variable volume attributes in which such variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation.

9.  Income Taxes

Income tax expense included on our accompanying consolidated statements of income is as follows:

(In millions, except percentages)
Income tax expense$134 $134 $512 $248 
Effective tax rate18.4 %20.8 %20.9 %17.2 %

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 is lower than the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of additional 2021 enhanced oil recovery credits from our initial estimate, the adjustment to the deferred tax liability as a result of the reduction in the state tax rate and dividend-received deductions from our investments in Florida Gas Pipeline (Citrus), NGPL Holdings and Products (SE) Pipe Line Company (PPL), partially offset by state income taxes.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 is lower than the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to dividend-received deductions from our investments in Citrus, NGPL Holdings and PPL, partially offset by state income taxes.

25

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is lower than the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance on our investment in NGPL Holdings upon the sale of a partial interest in NGPL Holdings and dividend-received deductions from our investments in Citrus, NGPL Holdings and PPL, partially offset by state income taxes.

10.   Litigation and Environmental

We and our subsidiaries are parties to various legal, regulatory and other matters arising from the day-to-day operations of our businesses or certain predecessor operations that may result in claims against the Company. Although no assurance can be given, we believe, based on our experiences to date and taking into account established reserves and insurance, that the ultimate resolution of such items will not have a material adverse impact to our business. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the matters to which we are a party and intend to vigorously defend the Company. When we determine a loss is probable of occurring and is reasonably estimable, we accrue an undiscounted liability for such contingencies based on our best estimate using information available at that time. If the estimated loss is a range of potential outcomes and there is no better estimate within the range, we accrue the amount at the low end of the range. We disclose the following contingencies where an adverse outcome may be material or, in the judgment of management, we conclude the matter should otherwise be disclosed.

EPNG FERC Proceeding

On April 21, 2022, EPNG was notified by the FERC of the commencement of a rate proceeding against it pursuant to Section 5 of the Natural Gas Act. This proceeding sets the matter for hearing to determine whether EPNG’s current rates remain just and reasonable. A proceeding under Section 5 of the Natural Gas Act is prospective in nature such that a change in rates charged to customers, if any, would likely only occur after the FERC has issued a final order. Unless a settlement is reached sooner, an initial Administrative Law Judge decision is anticipated in the second quarter of 2023. We are engaged actively in settlement discussions and anticipate joining with FERC Trial Staff and other active participants in the proceeding in filing an unopposed motion to suspend the procedural schedule to enable the parties to prepare documents necessary to document a settlement in principle that would fully resolve the proceeding. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of this proceeding will have a material adverse impact to our business.

Gulf LNG Facility Disputes

On March 1, 2016, Gulf LNG Energy, LLC and Gulf LNG Pipeline, LLC (GLNG) received a Notice of Arbitration from Eni USA Gas Marketing LLC (Eni USA), one of two companies that entered into a terminal use agreement for capacity of the Gulf LNG Facility in Mississippi for an initial term that was not scheduled to expire until the year 2031. Eni USA is an indirect subsidiary of Eni S.p.A., a multi-national integrated energy company headquartered in Milan, Italy.  The Notice of Arbitration sought declaratory and monetary relief based upon Eni USA’s assertion that (i) the terminal use agreement should be terminated because changes in the U.S. natural gas market since the execution of the agreement in December 2007 “frustrated the essential purpose” of the agreement and (ii) activities allegedly undertaken by affiliates of Gulf LNG Holdings Group LLC “in connection with a plan to convert the LNG Facility into a liquefaction/export facility have given rise to a contractual right on the part of Eni USA to terminate” the agreement.  On June 29, 2018, the arbitration tribunal delivered an Award that called for the termination of the agreement and Eni USA’s payment of compensation to GLNG. On February 1, 2019, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued a Final Order and Judgment confirming the Award, which was paid by Eni USA on February 20, 2019.

On September 28, 2018, GLNG filed a lawsuit against Eni S.p.A. in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in New York County to enforce a Guarantee Agreement entered into by Eni S.p.A. in connection with the terminal use agreement. In response to the foregoing lawsuit, Eni S.p.A. filed counterclaims under the terminal use agreement and claims under a parent direct agreement with Gulf LNG Energy (Port), LLC. The foregoing claims asserted by Eni S.p.A seek unspecified damages and involve the same allegations as the claims which were resolved conclusively in the arbitrations with Eni USA described above and with GLNG’s remaining customer as described below. On January 4, 2022, the trial court entered a decision granting Eni S.p.A’s motion for summary judgment on the claims asserted by GLNG to enforce the Guarantee Agreement. GLNG filed an interlocutory appeal of the decision. Pending resolution of GLNG’s appeal and further proceedings in the trial court, the foregoing counterclaims and other claims asserted by Eni S.p.A under the terminal use agreement and parent direct agreement remain pending in the trial court.

On December 20, 2019, GLNG’s remaining customer, Angola LNG Supply Services LLC (ALSS), a consortium of international oil companies including Eni S.p.A., filed a Notice of Arbitration seeking a declaration that its terminal use agreement should be deemed terminated as of March 1, 2016 on substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the arbitration award pertaining to Eni USA. On July 15, 2021, the arbitration tribunal delivered an Award on the merits of all
26

claims submitted to the tribunal and denied all of ALSS’s claims with prejudice. On November 23, 2021, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued a Final Order and Judgment confirming the Award.

Continental Resources, Inc. v. Hiland Partners Holdings, LLC

On December 8, 2017, Continental Resources, Inc. (CLR) filed an action in Garfield County, Oklahoma state court alleging that Hiland Partners Holdings, LLC (Hiland Partners) breached a Gas Purchase Agreement, dated November 12, 2010, as amended (GPA), by failing to receive and purchase all of CLR’s dedicated gas under the GPA produced in three North Dakota counties.  CLR also alleged fraud, maintaining that Hiland Partners promised the construction of several additional facilities to process the gas without an intention to build the facilities. Hiland Partners denied these allegations, but the parties entered into a settlement agreement in June 2018, under which CLR agreed to release all of its claims in exchange for Hiland Partners’ construction of 10 infrastructure projects by November 1, 2020. CLR filed an amended petition in which it asserted that Hiland Partners’ failure to construct certain facilities by specific dates nullified the release contained in the settlement agreement. CLR’s amended petition asserted additional claims under both the GPA and a May 8, 2008 gas purchase contract covering additional North Dakota counties, including CLR’s contention that Hiland Partners was not allowed to deduct third-party processing fees from the gas purchase price. CLR sought damages in excess of $276 million. On September 14, 2022, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement, including an unconditional release and dismissal of the litigation with prejudice.

Freeport LNG Winter Storm Litigation

On September 13, 2021, Freeport LNG Marketing, LLC (Freeport) filed suit against Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline LLC and Kinder Morgan Tejas Pipeline LLC in the 133rd District Court of Harris County, Texas (Case No. 2021-58787) alleging that defendants breached the parties’ base contract for sale and purchase of natural gas by failing to repurchase natural gas nominated by Freeport between February 10-22, 2021 during Winter Storm Uri. We deny that we were obligated to repurchase natural gas from Freeport given our declaration of force majeure during the storm and our compliance with emergency orders issued by the Railroad Commission of Texas providing heightened priority for the delivery of gas to human needs customers. Freeport alleges that it is owed approximately $104 million, plus attorney fees and interest. We believe that our declaration of force majeure was valid and we intend to vigorously defend this case.

Pipeline Integrity and Releases

From time to time, despite our best efforts, our pipelines experience leaks and ruptures. These leaks and ruptures may cause explosions, fire, and damage to the environment, damage to property and/or personal injury or death. In connection with these incidents, we may be sued for damages caused by an alleged failure to properly mark the locations of our pipelines and/or to properly maintain our pipelines. Depending upon the facts and circumstances of a particular incident, state and federal regulatory authorities may seek civil and/or criminal fines and penalties.

Arizona Line 2000 Rupture

On August 15, 2021, the 30” EPNG Line 2000 natural gas transmission pipeline ruptured in a rural area in Coolidge, Arizona. The failure resulted in a fire which destroyed a home, resulting in two fatalities and one injury. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident. The impacted pipeline segment is currently out of service. While no litigation is pending at this time, we notified our insurers of the incident and do not expect that the resolution of claims will have a material adverse impact to our business.

General

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our total reserve for legal matters was $42 million and $231 million, respectively.

Environmental Matters

We and our subsidiaries are subject to environmental cleanup and enforcement actions from time to time. In particular, CERCLA generally imposes joint and several liability for cleanup and enforcement costs on current and predecessor owners and operators of a site, among others, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, subject to the right of a liable party to establish a “reasonable basis” for apportionment of costs. Our operations are also subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment. Although we believe our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, risks of additional costs and liabilities are inherent in pipeline,
27

terminal and CO2 field and oil field operations, and there can be no assurance that we will not incur significant costs and liabilities. Moreover, it is possible that other developments could result in substantial costs and liabilities to us, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies under the terms of authority of those laws, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from our operations.

We are currently involved in several governmental proceedings involving alleged violations of local, state and federal environmental and safety regulations. As we receive notices of non-compliance, we attempt to negotiate and settle such matters where appropriate. These alleged violations may result in fines and penalties, but we do not believe any such fines and penalties will be material to our business, individually or in the aggregate. We are also currently involved in several governmental proceedings involving groundwater and soil remediation efforts under state or federal administrative orders or related remediation programs. We have established a reserve to address the costs associated with the remediation efforts.

In addition, we are involved with and have been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) in several federal and state Superfund sites. Environmental reserves have been established for those sites where our contribution is probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, we are from time to time involved in civil proceedings relating to damages alleged to have occurred as a result of accidental leaks or spills of refined petroleum products, crude oil, NGL, natural gas or CO2.

PHMSA Enforcement Matter for KMLT Midwest Terminals

On July 11, 2022, Kinder Morgan Liquid Terminals (KMLT) received a Notice of Probable Violation (NOPV) from PHMSA relating to inspections conducted during 2021 at KMLT’s Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Dayton, Argo, O’Hare, and Wood River Terminals. The NOPV alleges 16 violations of Department of Transportation regulations. The NOPV proposes a penalty of approximately $455,000 and seeks a compliance agreement relating to three of the alleged violations. The alleged violations are predominately procedural in nature. On September 1, 2022, we submitted a Request for Hearing, Statement of Issues and Response to the NOPV. At the same time we initiated settlement discussions with PHMSA which are ongoing. We do not anticipate the costs to resolve this matter, including any costs to implement a compliance agreement, will have a material adverse impact to our business.

Portland Harbor Superfund Site, Willamette River, Portland, Oregon

On January 6, 2017, the EPA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) that established a final remedy and cleanup plan for an industrialized area on the lower reach of the Willamette River commonly referred to as the Portland Harbor Superfund Site (PHSS). The cost for the final remedy is estimated to be more than $2.8 billion and active cleanup is expected to take more than 10 years to complete. KMLT, KMBT, and some 90 other PRPs identified by the EPA are involved in a non-judicial allocation process to determine each party’s respective share of the cleanup costs related to the final remedy set forth by the ROD. We are participating in the allocation process on behalf of KMLT (in connection with its ownership or operation of two facilities) and KMBT (in connection with its ownership or operation of two facilities). Effective January 31, 2020, KMLT entered into separate Administrative Settlement Agreements and Orders on Consent (ASAOC) to complete remedial design for two distinct areas within the PHSS associated with KMLT’s facilities. The ASAOC obligates KMLT to pay a share of the remedial design costs for cleanup activities related to these two areas as required by the ROD. Our share of responsibility for the PHSS costs will not be determined until the ongoing non-judicial allocation process is concluded or a lawsuit is filed that results in a judicial decision allocating responsibility. At this time we anticipate the non-judicial allocation process will be complete in or around October 2023. Until the allocation process is completed, we are unable to reasonably estimate the extent of our liability for the costs related to the design of the proposed remedy and cleanup of the PHSS. Because costs associated with any remedial plan are expected to be spread over at least several years, we do not anticipate that our share of the costs of the remediation will have a material adverse impact to our business.

In addition to CERCLA cleanup costs, we are reviewing and will attempt to settle, if possible, natural resource damage (NRD) claims in the amount of approximately $5 million asserted by state and federal trustees following their natural resource assessment of the PHSS.

Uranium Mines in Vicinity of Cameron, Arizona

In the 1950s and 1960s, Rare Metals Inc., a historical subsidiary of EPNG, mined approximately 20 uranium mines in the vicinity of Cameron, Arizona, many of which are located on the Navajo Indian Reservation. The mining activities were in response to numerous incentives provided to industry by the U.S. to locate and produce domestic sources of uranium to support the Cold War-era nuclear weapons program. In May 2012, EPNG received a general notice letter from the EPA notifying EPNG of the EPA’s investigation of certain sites and its determination that the EPA considers EPNG to be a PRP within the meaning of CERCLA. In August 2013, EPNG and the EPA entered into an Administrative Order on Consent and Scope of
28

Work pursuant to which EPNG is conducting environmental assessments of the mines and the immediate vicinity. On September 3, 2014, EPNG filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona seeking cost recovery and contribution from the applicable federal government agencies toward the cost of environmental activities associated with the mines. The U.S. District Court issued an order on April 16, 2019 that allocated 35% of past and future response costs to the U.S. The decision does not provide or establish the scope of a remedial plan with respect to the sites, nor does it establish the total cost for addressing the sites, all of which remain to be determined in subsequent proceedings and adversarial actions, if necessary, with the EPA. Until such issues are determined, we are unable to reasonably estimate the extent of our potential liability. Because costs associated with any remedial plan approved by the EPA are expected to be spread over at least several years, we do not anticipate that our share of the costs of the remediation will have a material adverse impact to our business.

Lower Passaic River Study Area of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site, New Jersey

EPEC Polymers, Inc. and EPEC Oil Company Liquidating Trust (collectively EPEC) are identified as PRPs in an administrative action under CERCLA known as the Lower Passaic River Study Area (Site) concerning the lower 17-mile stretch of the Passaic River in New Jersey. EPEC entered into two Administrative Orders on Consent (AOCs) with the EPA which obligates EPEC to investigate and characterize contamination at the Site. EPEC is part of a joint defense group of approximately 44 cooperating parties which is directing and funding the AOC work required by the EPA. We have established a reserve for the anticipated cost of compliance with these two AOCs. On March 4, 2016, the EPA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) for the lower eight miles of the Site. At that time the cleanup plan in the ROD was estimated to cost $1.7 billion. The cleanup is expected to take at least six years to complete once it begins. In addition, the EPA and numerous PRPs, including EPEC, engaged in an allocation process for the implementation of the remedy for the lower eight miles of the Site. That process was completed December 28, 2020 and certain PRPs, including EPEC, are engaged in discussions with the EPA as a result thereof. There remains significant uncertainty as to the implementation and associated costs of the remedy set forth in the lower eight mile ROD. On October 4, 2021, the EPA issued a ROD for the upper nine miles of the Site. The cleanup plan in the ROD is estimated to cost $440 million. No timeline for the cleanup has been established. Certain PRPs, including EPEC, are engaged in discussions with the EPA concerning the upper nine miles. There remains significant uncertainty as to the implementation and associated costs of the remedy set forth in the upper nine mile ROD. Until the ongoing discussions with the EPA conclude, we are unable to reasonably estimate the extent of our potential liability. We do not anticipate that our share of the costs to resolve this matter, including the costs of any remediation of the Site, will have a material adverse impact to our business.

Louisiana Governmental Coastal Zone Erosion Litigation

Beginning in 2013, several parishes in Louisiana and the City of New Orleans filed separate lawsuits in state district courts in Louisiana against a number of oil and gas companies, including TGP and SNG. In these cases, the parishes and New Orleans, as Plaintiffs, allege that certain of the defendants’ oil and gas exploration, production and transportation operations were conducted in violation of the State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act of 1978, as amended (SLCRMA) and that those operations caused substantial damage to the coastal waters of Louisiana and nearby lands. The Plaintiffs seek, among other relief, unspecified money damages, attorneys’ fees, interest, and payment of costs necessary to restore the affected areas. There are more than 40 of these cases pending in Louisiana against oil and gas companies, one of which is against TGP and one of which is against SNG, both described further below.

On November 8, 2013, the Parish of Plaquemines, Louisiana filed a petition for damages in the state district court for Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana against TGP and 17 other energy companies, alleging that the defendants’ operations in Plaquemines Parish violated SLCRMA and Louisiana law, and caused substantial damage to the coastal waters and nearby lands. Plaquemines Parish seeks, among other relief, unspecified money damages, attorney fees, interest, and payment of costs necessary to restore the allegedly affected areas. In December 2013, the case was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. In April 2015, the U.S. District Court ordered the case to be remanded to the state district court for Plaquemines Parish. In May 2018, the case was removed for a second time to the U.S. District Court. In May 2019, the U.S. District Court ordered the case to be remanded to the state district court. The case has been effectively stayed pending the resolution of jurisdictional issues in separate, consolidated cases to which TGP is not a party; The Parish of Plaquemines, et al. vs. Chevron USA, Inc. et al. consolidated with The Parish of Cameron, et al. v. BP America Production Company, et al. Those cases were removed to federal court and ordered to be remanded to the state district courts for Plaquemines and Cameron Parishes, respectively. The defendants to those consolidated cases pursued an appeal of the remand decisions to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit to determine whether there is federal officer jurisdiction. On October 17, 2022, the United States Court of Appeals ordered those consolidated cases to be remanded to the state district courts. At this time, we are not able to reasonably estimate the extent of our potential liability, if any. We intend to vigorously defend this case.

29

On March 29, 2019, the City of New Orleans and Orleans Parish (collectively, Orleans) filed a petition for damages in the state district court for Orleans Parish, Louisiana against SNG and 10 other energy companies alleging that the defendants’ operations in Orleans Parish violated the SLCRMA and Louisiana law, and caused substantial damage to the coastal waters and nearby lands. Orleans seeks, among other relief, unspecified money damages, attorney fees, interest, and payment of costs necessary to restore the allegedly affected areas. In April 2019, the case was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. In May 2019, Orleans moved to remand the case to the state district court. In January 2020, the U.S. District Court ordered the case to be stayed and administratively closed pending the resolution of issues in a separate case to which SNG is not a party; Parish of Cameron vs. Auster Oil & Gas, Inc., pending in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana; after which either party may move to re-open the case. Until these and other issues are determined, we are not able to reasonably estimate the extent of our potential liability, if any. We intend to vigorously defend this case.

Products Pipeline Incident, Walnut Creek, California

On November 20, 2020, SFPP identified an issue on its Line Section 16 (LS-16) which transports petroleum products in California from Concord to San Jose. We shut down the pipeline and notified the appropriate regulatory agencies of a “threatened release” of gasoline. We investigated the issue over the next several days and on November 24, 2020, identified a crack in the pipeline and notified the regulatory agencies of a “confirmed release.” The damaged section of the pipeline was removed and replaced, and the pipeline resumed operations on November 26, 2020. We reported the estimated volume of gasoline released to be 8.1 Bbl. On December 2, 2020, complaints of gasoline odors were reported along the LS-16 pipeline corridor in Walnut Creek. A unified response was implemented by us along with the EPA, the California Office of Spill Prevention and Response, the California Fire Marshall, and the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board. On December 8, 2020, we reported an updated estimated spill volume of up to 1,000 Bbl.

On October 28, 2021, we were informed by the California Attorney General it was contemplating criminal charges against us asserting the November 2020 discharge of gasoline affected waters of the State of California, and there was a failure to make timely notices of this discharge to appropriate state agencies. On December 16, 2021, we entered into a plea agreement with the State of California to resolve misdemeanor charges of the unintentional, non-negligent discharge of gasoline resulting from the release and the claimed failure to provide timely notices of the discharge to appropriate state agencies. Under the plea agreement, SFPP plead no-contest to two misdemeanors and paid approximately $2.5 million in fines, penalties, restitution, environmental improvement project funding, and for enforcement training in the State of California, and was placed on informal, unsupervised probation for a term of 18 months.

Since the November 2020 release, we have cooperated fully with federal and state agencies and have worked diligently to remediate the affected areas. We anticipate civil enforcement actions by federal and state agencies arising from the November 2020 release as well as ongoing monitoring and, where necessary, remediation under the oversight of the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board until site conditions demonstrate no further actions are required. We do not anticipate the costs to resolve those enforcement matters, including the costs to monitor and further remediate the site, will have a material adverse impact to our business.

General

Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcomes, we believe that the resolution of the environmental matters set forth in this note, and other matters to which we and our subsidiaries are a party, will not have a material adverse effect on our business. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have accrued a total reserve for environmental liabilities in the amount of $227 million and $243 million, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had receivables of $11 million and $12 million, respectively, recorded for expected cost recoveries that have been deemed probable.

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Updates

Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)

On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).
30

Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can also elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met.

On January 7, 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope.” This ASU clarifies that all derivative instruments affected by changes to the interest rates used for discounting, margining or contract price alignment (the “Discounting Transition”) are in the scope of ASC 848 and therefore qualify for the available temporary optional expedients and exceptions. As such, entities that employ derivatives that are the designated hedged item in a hedge relationship where perfect effectiveness is assumed can continue to apply hedge accounting without de-designating the hedging relationship to the extent such derivatives are impacted by the Discounting Transition.

The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we amended certain of our existing fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements, which were designated as fair value hedges, to transition the variable leg of such agreements from LIBOR to SOFR. These agreements contain a combined notional principal amount of $1,725 million and convert a portion of our fixed rate debt to variable rates through March 2035. Concurrent with these amendments, we elected certain of the optional expedients provided in Topic 848 which allow us to maintain our prior designation of fair value hedge accounting to these agreements. As we continue to amend our interest rate swap agreements to transition from LIBOR to SOFR, we will assess whether such amendments qualify for any of the optional expedients in Topic 848 and, should they qualify, whether we wish to elect any such optional expedients. See Note 6“Risk Management—Interest Rate Risk Management” for more information on our interest rate risk management activities.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

General and Basis of Presentation

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report, and in conjunction with (i) our consolidated financial statements and related notes in our 2021 Form 10-K; (ii) our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our 2021 Form 10-K; (iii) “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this report and in our 2021 Form 10-K; and (iv) “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Sale of Interest in Elba Liquefaction Company L.L.C.

On September 27, 2022, we completed the sale of a 25.5% ownership interest in Elba Liquefaction Company L.L.C. (ELC). We received net proceeds of $557 million which were used to reduce short-term borrowings. As we continue to have a controlling financial interest in and consolidate ELC, we recorded an increase of $190 million to “Additional paid in capital” for the impact of the change in our ownership interest in ELC, which is reflected on our accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. We continue to own a 25.5% interest in and operate ELC. See Note 2 “Acquisitions and Divestitures” for additional information regarding ELC.

North American Natural Resources Acquisition

On August 11, 2022, we completed the acquisition of seven landfill assets from North American Natural Resources, Inc. and, its sister companies, North American Biofuels, LLC and North American-Central, LLC (NANR) consisting of gas-to-power facilities in Michigan and Kentucky for $132 million, including a preliminary purchase price adjustment for working capital. We plan to convert three of the seven gas-to-power facilities to renewable natural gas facilities with a capital spend of approximately $145 million. We expect these facilities to be in service by mid-2024 and, once complete, are expected to generate approximately 1.7 Bcf per year of renewable natural gas. The remaining four NANR assets, projected to produce 8.0 megawatt-hours in 2023, further diversify KMI’s renewable portfolio by adding electricity generation to its landfill gas-to-power operations.

Mas CanAm Acquisition

On July 19, 2022, we completed an acquisition of three landfill assets from Mas CanAm, LLC, comprising a renewable natural gas facility in Arlington, Texas and medium Btu facilities in Shreveport, Louisiana and Victoria, Texas for $358 million including a preliminary purchase price adjustment for working capital. The Arlington facility is expected to produce 1.4 Bcf of renewable natural gas in 2023 and has the potential to grow significantly over the next decade.

2022 Dividends and Discretionary Capital

We expect to declare dividends of $1.11 per share for 2022, a 3% increase from the 2021 declared dividends of $1.08 per share. We now expect to invest $1.8 billion in expansion projects, acquisitions, and contributions to joint ventures or discretionary capital expenditures during 2022.

The expectations for 2022 discussed above involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and are not guarantees of performance.  Many of the factors that will determine these expectations are beyond our ability to control or predict, and because of these uncertainties, it is advisable not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.

Results of Operations

Overview

As described in further detail below, our management evaluates our performance primarily using the GAAP financial measures of Segment EBDA (as presented in Note 8 “Reportable Segments”) and Net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc., along with the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Earnings and DCF, both in the aggregate and per share for each, Adjusted Segment EBDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt.

32

GAAP Financial Measures

The Consolidated Earnings Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 present Segment EBDA and Net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Segment EBDA is a useful measure of our operating performance because it measures the operating results of our segments before DD&A and certain expenses that are generally not controllable by our business segment operating managers, such as general and administrative expenses and corporate charges, interest expense, net, and income taxes. Our general and administrative expenses and corporate charges include such items as unallocated employee benefits, insurance, rentals, unallocated litigation and environmental expenses, and shared corporate services including accounting, information technology, human resources and legal services.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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 (i) do not have a cash impact (for example, unsettled commodity hedges and asset impairments), or (ii) 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 tables included in “—Consolidated Earnings Results (GAAP)—Certain Items Affecting Consolidated Earnings Results,” “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA” and “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Supplemental Information” below). In addition, Certain Items are described in more detail in the footnotes to tables included in “—Segment Earnings Results” and “—DD&A, General and Administrative and Corporate Charges, Interest, net, and Noncontrolling Interests” below.

Adjusted Earnings

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 “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. (GAAP) to Adjusted Earnings to DCF” below.

DCF

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 “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. (GAAP) to Adjusted Earnings to DCF” and “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Adjusted Segment EBDA to Adjusted EBITDA to DCF” below.

33

Adjusted Segment EBDA

Adjusted Segment EBDA is calculated by adjusting 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 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 “—Consolidated Earnings Results (GAAP)—Certain Items Affecting Consolidated Earnings Results” for a reconciliation of Segment EBDA to Adjusted Segment EBDA by business segment.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting 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 “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Adjusted Segment EBDA to Adjusted EBITDA to DCF” and “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA” below.

Amounts from Joint Ventures

Certain Items, DCF and Adjusted EBITDA reflect amounts from unconsolidated joint ventures and consolidated joint ventures utilizing the same recognition and measurement methods used to record “Earnings from equity investments” and “Noncontrolling interests,” respectively. The calculations of DCF and Adjusted EBITDA related to our unconsolidated and consolidated joint ventures 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 joint ventures as those included in the calculations of DCF and Adjusted EBITDA for our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries. (See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Supplemental Information” below.) Although these amounts related to our unconsolidated joint ventures 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 joint ventures.

Net Debt

Net Debt is calculated, based on amounts as of September 30, 2022, by subtracting the following amounts from our debt balance of $31,741 million: (i) cash and cash equivalents of $483 million; and (ii) debt fair value adjustments of $107 million; and excluding the foreign exchange impact on Euro-denominated bonds of $(53) million for which we have entered into currency swaps to convert that debt to U.S. dollars. 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.

35

primarily due to higher earnings from our Natural Gas Pipelines and CO2 business segments. The year-to-date increase was primarily due to the $1,600 million pre-tax non-cash impairment loss in 2021 related to South Texas gathering and processing assets within our Natural Gas Pipeline segment and higher earnings from our Products Pipelines business segment with our West Coast Refined Products and Southeast Refined Products assets partially offset by the benefit in the 2021 period of $1,097 million for largely nonrecurring earnings related to the February 2021 winter storm, mostly impacting the earnings from our Natural Gas Pipelines and CO2 business segments.

The third quarter increase was primarily due to higher earnings from our Natural Gas Pipeline and CO2 business segments. The year-to-date decrease was impacted by lower earnings of $744 million from our Natural Gas Pipelines business segment’s Midstream region (primarily related to the February 2021 winter storm, and therefore largely nonrecurring) partially offset by lower income tax expense.

The changes in Segment EBDA for our Natural Gas Pipelines business segment are further explained by the following discussion of the significant factors driving Adjusted Segment EBDA in the comparable three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:
•$62 million (21%) increase and $744 million (41%) decrease, respectively, in Midstream. The third quarter increase was primarily due to higher volumes on our KinderHawk assets, higher sales margins due to higher prices on our Texas intrastate natural gas pipeline operations and Altamont asset. The year-to-date decrease was primarily due to lower sales margins of $840 million on our Texas intrastate natural gas pipeline operations and $65 million on our South Texas assets largely driven by higher 2021 commodity prices related to the February 2021 winter storm. These decreases were partially offset by higher volumes on our KinderHawk assets, higher NGL sales margins driven by higher prices on our Altamont asset and higher earnings on our Oklahoma assets from higher 2021 commodity prices on certain purchase contracts as a result of the February 2021 winter storm. Overall, Midstream’s revenue changes are partially offset by corresponding changes in costs of sales;
•$18 million (3%) and $140 million (8%) increases, respectively, in the East Region were primarily due to higher capacity sales associated with our Stagecoach assets, higher equity earnings from SNG as a result of increased revenues due to an increase in demand for services and increased earnings from Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline, LLC reflecting a new LNG customer contract partially offset by decreased earnings on TGP driven by higher operating expenses due in part to higher property taxes and pipeline integrity costs. The year-to-date increase was further impacted by our July 2021 acquisition of the Stagecoach assets; and
•$11 million (5%) and $55 million (7%) decreases, respectively, in the West Region were primarily due to lower earnings from Colorado Interstate Gas Company, L.L.C. driven by lower revenues resulting from a rate case settlement and a decrease in revenues from EPNG driven by lower commodity and park and loan volumes that resulted from a partial pipeline outage.

The changes in Segment EBDA for our Products Pipelines business segment are further explained by the following discussion of the significant factors driving Adjusted Segment EBDA in the comparable three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:
•$13 million (15%) and $19 million (7%) decreases, respectively, in Crude and Condensate were primarily due to lower earnings from our Bakken Crude assets due to lower volumes from our Double H pipeline and an unfavorable inventory valuation adjustment due to a decline in commodity prices and from our Kinder Morgan Crude & Condensate pipeline driven primarily by lower deficiency revenues, partially offset by higher earnings from our KM Condensate Processing facility reflecting increased revenues due to higher volumes and rate escalations. Our Crude and Condensate pipeline also had higher revenues of $209 million and $832 million, respectively, with corresponding increases in cost of sales, resulting from increased marketing activities;
•$7 million (11%) decrease and $11 million (6%) increase, respectively, in Southeast Refined Products. The third quarter decrease was primarily due to lower earnings at our Transmix processing operations as a result of an unfavorable inventory valuation adjustment due to a decline in commodity prices. The year-to-date increase was primarily due to higher earnings at our Transmix processing operations primarily due to higher prices and volumes; and
•$3 million (2%) decrease and $27 million (7%) increase, respectively, in West Coast Refined Products. The third quarter decrease was primarily due to lower earnings on our Pacific operations (SFPP) as a result of higher integrity management spending and lower revenues due to an overall decrease in volumes partially offset by an increase in regulated rates. The year-to-date increase was primarily due to a gain on sale of land at Calnev Pipe Line LLC, increased earnings driven by higher revenues on our West Coast terminals from higher volumes and SFPP resulting from higher revenues driven by increased regulatory rates.

The changes in Segment EBDA for our Terminals business segment are further explained by the following discussion of the significant factors driving Adjusted Segment EBDA in the comparable three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:
•$15 million (100%) and $30 million (64%) increases, respectively, in the Mid Atlantic terminals were primarily due to higher handling rates and coal volumes at our Pier IX facility;
•$4 million (13%) and $19 million (23%) increases, respectively, in the Gulf Central terminals were primarily due to lower property tax expense at our Battleground Oil Specialty Terminal Company LLC. The year-to-date increase was also impacted by higher volumes for petroleum coke handling activities, owing largely to refinery outages in the 2021 period associated with the February 2021 winter storm;
•$11 million (14%) and $3 million (1%) decreases, respectively, in the Gulf Liquids region were primarily due to higher property tax expense at Pasadena and Galena Park terminals. The year-to-date decrease was partially offset by increased revenues from contractual rate escalations and higher volumes and associated ancillary fees;
•$3 million (12%) and $13 million (16%) decreases, respectively, in the Northeast terminals were primarily driven by decreased revenues associated with lower utilization and rates on re-contracted tank positions at our Carteret and Perth Amboy facilities; and
•$3 million (8%) and $12 million (10%) decreases, respectively, in Marine operations were primarily due to lower average charter rates partially offset by higher fleet utilization.

The changes in Segment EBDA for our CO2 business segment are further explained by the following discussion of the significant factors driving Adjusted Segment EBDA in the comparable three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:
•$69 million (110%) and $13 million (3%) increases, respectively, in Oil and Gas Producing activities primarily due to higher realized crude oil and NGL prices which increased revenues by $44 million and $173 million, respectively and a third quarter 2021 settlement of $38 million for a terminated affiliate purchase contract with Source and Transportation activities. The year-to-date increase was also impacted by higher operating expenses of $179 million mainly driven by the benefit realized in the 2021 period from returning power to the grid by curtailing oil production during the February 2021 winter storm; and
•$30 million (34%) and $7 million (4%) decreases, respectively, in Source and Transportation activities primarily due to a third quarter 2021 settlement of $38 million for a terminated affiliate sales contract with Oil and Gas Producing activities offset by increased revenues of $12 million and $46 million, respectively, related to higher CO2 sales prices. The year-to-date decrease was also impacted by decreased revenues related to lower CO2 sales volumes.

Certain items
(a)Three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 amounts include less than $1 million of general and administrative and corporate charges associated with Certain Items.
(b)Amounts are adjusted for Certain Items.
(c)Three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 amounts include an increase of $19 million and a decrease of $35 million in interest expense, respectively, related to non-cash mismatches between the change in fair value of interest rate swaps and change in fair value of hedged debt, primarily related to our floating-to-fixed LIBOR interest rate swaps which are not designated as accounting hedges and decreases in expense of $4 million and $11 million, respectively, related to non-cash debt fair value adjustments associated with acquisitions. Three and nine months September 30, 2021 amounts include decreases of $7 million and $15 million, respectively, related to non-cash debt fair value adjustments associated with acquisitions.
(d)Nine months ended September 30, 2021 amount includes less than $1 million of noncontrolling interests associated with Certain Items.

General and administrative expenses and corporate charges adjusted for Certain Items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 when compared with the respective prior year periods decreased $18 million and $27 million, respectively, primarily due to higher capitalized costs of $10 million and $31 million, respectively, reflecting higher capital spending and lower benefit-related and pension costs of $5 million and $9 million, respectively, partially offset by $1 million and $12 million, respectively, of higher labor, travel and legal costs.

In the table above, we report our interest expense as “net,” meaning that we have subtracted interest income and capitalized interest from our total interest expense to arrive at one interest amount.  Our consolidated interest expense, net adjusted for Certain Items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 when compared with the respective prior year periods increased $8 million and decreased $6 million, respectively, primarily due to lower long-term average interest rates and long-term debt balances, partially offset by higher short-term debt rates.

We use interest rate swap agreements to convert a portion of the underlying cash flows related to our long-term fixed rate debt securities (senior notes) into variable rate debt in order to achieve our desired mix of fixed and variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately 8% and 21%, respectively, of the principal amount of our debt balances were subject to variable interest rates—either as short-term or long-term variable rate debt obligations or as fixed-rate debt converted to variable rates through the use of interest rate swaps. The September 30, 2022 rate was lower because we entered into variable-to-fixed interest rate hedges that expire at the end of 2022. Without those hedges, as of September 30, 2022, our debt subject to variable interest rates would have been approximately 24%. For more information on our interest rate swaps, see Note 6 “Risk Management—Interest Rate Risk Management” to our consolidated financial statements.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the allocation of our consolidated net income attributable to all outstanding ownership interests in our consolidated subsidiaries that are not owned by us.

Income Taxes

Our tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $134 million as compared with $134 million for the same period of 2021. The tax expense was the same due primarily to federal taxes on higher pre-tax book income, partially offset by state income taxes as a result of the reduction of the state tax rate in current period.

Our tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $512 million as compared with $248 million for the same period of 2021. The $264 million increase in tax expense was due primarily to federal and state taxes on higher pre-tax book income in the current year and the release of the valuation allowance on our investment in NGPL Holdings in the prior year.

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) into law. The IRA includes a new corporate alternative minimum tax (Corporate AMT) of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a three-year period. The Corporate AMT is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. We are evaluating the Corporate AMT and its potential impact on our current income tax expense and cash taxes. However, we currently do not believe this will have an impact on our cash taxes for the 2023 tax year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

As of September 30, 2022, we had $483 million of “Cash and cash equivalents,” a decrease of $657 million from December 31, 2021. Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, we had borrowing capacity of approximately $3.9 billion under our credit facilities (discussed below in “—Short-term Liquidity”). As discussed further below, we believe our cash flows from operating activities, cash position and remaining borrowing capacity on our credit facilities are more than adequate to allow us to manage our day-to-day cash requirements and anticipated obligations.

We have consistently generated substantial cash flows from operations, providing a source of funds of $3,563 million and $4,440 million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The period-to-period decrease is discussed below in “—Cash Flows—Operating Activities.” We primarily rely on cash provided from operations to fund our operations as well as our debt service, sustaining capital expenditures, dividend payments and our growth capital expenditures; however, we may access the debt capital markets from time to time to refinance our maturing long-term debt and finance incremental investments, if any.

Our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.2775 per share for the third quarter of 2022, consistent with the dividend declared for the previous quarter.

On February 23, 2022, EPNG issued in a private offering $300 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% senior notes due 2032 and received net proceeds of $298 million after discount and issuance costs.

On August 3, 2022, we issued in a registered offering two series of senior notes consisting of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.80% senior notes due 2033 and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.45% senior notes due 2052 and received combined net proceeds of $1,484 million. We used a portion of the proceeds to repay short-term borrowings and for general corporate purposes.

During the first quarter, upon maturity, we repaid EPNG’s 8.625% senior notes, our 4.15% corporate senior notes, and the 1.50% series of our Euro denominated debt. During the second quarter 2022, we repaid $1 billion of our 3.95% senior notes using short-term borrowings. The short-term borrowings were repaid in the third quarter 2022 with proceeds from the August 2022 senior note issuances.

Short-term Liquidity

As of September 30, 2022, our principal sources of short-term liquidity are (i) cash from operations; and (ii) our combined $4.0 billion of credit facilities and associated commercial paper program. The loan commitments under our credit facilities can be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes and as a backup to our commercial paper program. Commercial paper borrowings reduce borrowings allowed under our credit facilities and letters of credit reduce borrowings allowed under our $3.5 billion credit facility. We provide for liquidity by maintaining a sizable amount of excess borrowing capacity under our credit facilities and, as previously discussed, have consistently generated strong cash flows from operations.

51

As of September 30, 2022, our $2,634 million of short-term debt consisted primarily of senior notes that mature in the next twelve months. We intend to fund our debt, as it becomes due, primarily through credit facility borrowings, commercial paper borrowings, cash flows from operations, and/or issuing new long-term debt. Our short-term debt balance as of December 31, 2021 was $2,646 million.

We had working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) deficits of $2,329 million and $1,992 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. From time to time, our current liabilities may include short-term borrowings used to finance our expansion capital expenditures, which we may periodically replace with long-term financing and/or pay down using retained cash from operations. The overall $337 million unfavorable change from year-end 2021 was primarily due to (i) a $657 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents which includes $1,190 million related to repayments of senior notes that matured in the first quarter of 2022 using cash on hand (while the change in our current maturities of senior notes remains flat); (ii) unfavorable short-term fair value adjustments on derivative contracts of $349 million; and (iii) a $58 million net unfavorable change in our accounts receivables and payables; partially offset by (i) a $233 million increase in restricted deposits related to our derivative activity; (ii) a $192 million decrease in accrued contingencies; (iii) a $177 million decrease in accrued interest; and (iv) a $153 million increase in inventories, primarily gas in underground storage. Generally, our working capital balance varies due to factors such as the timing of scheduled debt payments, timing differences in the collection and payment of receivables and payables, the change in fair value of our derivative contracts, and changes in our cash and cash equivalent balances as a result of excess cash from operations after payments for investing and financing activities.

Capital Expenditures

We account for our capital expenditures in accordance with GAAP. We also distinguish between capital expenditures that are maintenance/sustaining capital expenditures and those that are expansion capital expenditures (which we also refer to as discretionary capital expenditures). Expansion capital expenditures are those expenditures which increase throughput or capacity from that which existed immediately prior to the addition or improvement, and are not deducted in calculating DCF (see “—Results of Operations—Overview—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—DCF”). With respect to our oil and gas producing activities, we classify a capital expenditure as an expansion capital expenditure if it is expected to increase capacity or throughput (i.e., production capacity) from the capacity or throughput immediately prior to the making or acquisition of such additions or improvements. Maintenance capital expenditures are those which maintain throughput or capacity. The distinction between maintenance and expansion capital expenditures is a physical determination rather than an economic one, irrespective of the amount by which the throughput or capacity is increased.

Budgeting of maintenance capital expenditures is done annually on a bottom-up basis. For each of our assets, we budget for and make those maintenance capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain safe and efficient operations, meet customer needs and comply with our operating policies and applicable law. We may budget for and make additional maintenance capital expenditures that we expect to produce economic benefits such as increasing efficiency and/or lowering future expenses. Budgeting and approval of expansion capital expenditures are generally made periodically throughout the year on a project-by-project basis in response to specific investment opportunities identified by our business segments from which we generally expect to receive sufficient returns to justify the expenditures. Generally, the determination of whether a capital expenditure is classified as maintenance/sustaining or as expansion capital expenditures is made on a project level. The classification of our capital expenditures as expansion capital expenditures or as maintenance capital expenditures is made consistent with our accounting policies and is generally a straightforward process, but in certain circumstances can be a matter of management judgment and discretion. The classification has an impact on DCF because capital expenditures that are classified as expansion capital expenditures are not deducted from DCF, while those classified as maintenance capital expenditures are.

Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and the amount we expect to spend for the remainder of 2022 to sustain our assets and grow our business are as follows:
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
2022 Remaining
Total 2022
(In millions)
Sustaining capital expenditures(a)(b)$581 $317 $898 
Discretionary capital investments(b)(c)(d)1,214 632 1,846 
(a)Nine months ended September 30, 2022, 2022 Remaining, and Total 2022 amounts include $83 million, $53 million, and $136 million, respectively, for sustaining capital expenditures from unconsolidated joint ventures, reduced by consolidated joint venture partners’ sustaining capital expenditures. See table included in “—Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Supplemental Information.”
52

(b)Nine months ended September 30, 2022 amount includes $15 million due to increases in accrued capital expenditures and contractor retainage and net changes in other.
(c)Nine months ended September 30, 2022 amount includes $63 million of our contributions to certain unconsolidated joint ventures for capital investments. Both Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and Total 2022 amounts also include $490 million for our acquisitions of Mas CanAm, LLC and NANR.
(d)Amounts include our actual or estimated contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures, net of actual or estimated contributions from certain partners in non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries for capital investments.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no material changes in our obligations with respect to other entities that are not consolidated in our financial statements that would affect the disclosures presented as of December 31, 2021 in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $556 million and $209 million, respectively. The increase of $347 million was primarily driven by an overall increase of capital commitments.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $877 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the respective 2021 period primarily due to:

•a $576 million decrease in cash after adjusting the $736 million increase in net income by $1,312 million for the combined effects of the period-to-period net changes in non-cash items. This overall cash decrease primarily resulted from the benefit recognized in the 2021 period for largely nonrecurring earnings related to the February 2021 winter storm (see discussion above in “—Results of Operations”); and
•a $301 million decrease in cash associated with net changes in working capital items and other non-current assets and liabilities. The decrease was primarily driven by unfavorable changes due to (i) increases in our customer accounts receivables largely in our Natural Gas business segment which was impacted by higher natural gas price increases in the 2022 period relative to the 2021 period; (ii) higher inventories reflecting higher storage rates and increased volumes; and (iii) a decrease in reserves associated with litigation matters in the 2022 period compared with the 2021 period.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities decreased $366 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the respective 2021 period primarily attributable to:

•a $1,030 million decrease in expenditures for the acquisition of assets and investments, net of cash acquired, primarily driven by a combined $488 million of net cash used for our acquisitions of Mas CanAm, LLC and NANR in the 2022 period, compared with a combined $1,508 million of net cash used for the acquisitions of Stagecoach Gas Services LLC and Kinetrex Energy in the 2021 period; partially offset by,
•a $413 million decrease in proceeds from sales of investments primarily due to $412 million received from the sale of a partial interest in our equity investment in NGPL Holdings in the 2021 period; and
•a $250 million increase in capital expenditures reflecting an overall increase of expansion capital projects in the 2022 period over the comparative 2021 period.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities decreased $1,017 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the respective 2021 period primarily attributable to:

•an $837 million net decrease in cash used related to debt activity as a result of lower net debt payments in the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period; and
•$557 million of net proceeds received from the sale of a 25.5% ownership interest in ELC in the 2022 period; partially offset by,
•$333 million of cash used in the 2022 period for share repurchases under our share buy-back program.

Dividends

We expect to declare dividends of $1.11 per share on our stock for 2022. The table below reflects our 2022 dividends declared:
Three months endedTotal quarterly dividend per share for the periodDate of declarationDate of recordDate of dividend
March 31, 2022$0.2775 April 20, 2022May 2, 2022May 16, 2022

September 30, 20220.2775 October 19, 2022October 31, 2022November 15, 2022

The actual amount of dividends to be paid on our capital stock will depend on many factors, including our financial condition and results of operations, liquidity requirements, business prospects, capital requirements, legal, regulatory and contractual constraints, tax laws, Delaware laws and other factors. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—The guidance we provide for our anticipated dividends is based on estimates. Circumstances may arise that lead to conflicts between using funds to pay anticipated dividends or to invest in our business.” of our 2021 Form 10-K. All of these matters will be taken into consideration by our board of directors in declaring dividends.

Our dividends are not cumulative. Consequently, if dividends on our stock are not paid at the intended levels, our stockholders are not entitled to receive those payments in the future. Our dividends generally will be paid on or about the 15th day of each February, May, August and November.

Summarized Combined Financial Information for Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries

KMI and certain subsidiaries (Subsidiary Issuers) are issuers of certain debt securities. KMI and substantially all of KMI’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (Subsidiary Guarantors), are parties to a cross guarantee agreement whereby each party to the agreement unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, the payment of specified indebtedness of each other party to the agreement. Accordingly, with the exception of certain subsidiaries identified as subsidiary non-guarantors (Subsidiary Non-Guarantors), the parent issuer, Subsidiary Issuers and Subsidiary Guarantors (the “Obligated Group”) are all guarantors of each series of our guaranteed debt (Guaranteed Notes). As a result of the cross guarantee agreement, a holder of any of the Guaranteed Notes issued by KMI or Subsidiary Issuers are in the same position with respect to the net assets, and income of KMI and the Subsidiary Issuers and Guarantors. The only amounts that are not available to the holders of each of the Guaranteed Notes to satisfy the repayment of such securities are the net assets, and income of the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors.

In lieu of providing separate financial statements for the Obligated Group, we have presented the accompanying supplemental summarized combined income statement and balance sheet information for the Obligated Group based on Rule 13-01 of the SEC’s Regulation S-X.  Also, see Exhibit 10.1 to this Report “Cross Guarantee Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2014, among Kinder Morgan, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries, with schedules updated as of September 30, 2022.”

All significant intercompany items among the Obligated Group have been eliminated in the supplemental summarized combined financial information. The Obligated Group’s investment balances in Subsidiary Non-Guarantors have been excluded from the supplemental summarized combined financial information. Significant intercompany balances and activity for the Obligated Group with other related parties, including Subsidiary Non-Guarantors, (referred to as “affiliates”) are presented separately in the accompanying supplemental summarized combined financial information.

Excluding fair value adjustments, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Obligated Group had $30,842 million and $31,608 million, respectively, of Guaranteed Notes outstanding.
