Earnings per Share (EPS) up 11% and Adjusted
EPS up 14%
Announces $1.7 billion Trident Intrastate
Pipeline Project
Kinder Morgan, Inc.’s (NYSE: KMI) board of directors today
approved a cash dividend of $0.2875 per share for the fourth
quarter ($1.15 annualized), payable on February 18, 2025, to
stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 3,
2025. This dividend is a 2% increase over the fourth quarter of
2023.
KMI is reporting:
- Fourth quarter earnings per share (EPS) of $0.30, up 11%
compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and Adjusted EPS of $0.32,
up 14% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.
- Net income attributable to KMI of $667 million, compared to
$594 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $2,063 million, up 7% versus the fourth
quarter of 2023.
“The company enjoyed another exceptional quarter, with very
strong operational and financial performance. We continued to
internally fund high-quality capital projects while generating cash
flow from operations of $1.5 billion and $0.7 billion in free cash
flow (FCF) after capital expenditures. With robust market
fundamentals and a new Administration committed to expediting
energy infrastructure projects, the future looks bright,” said
Executive Chairman Richard D. Kinder.
“KMI had a very strong fourth quarter on increased financial
contributions from our Natural Gas Pipelines, Products Pipelines
and Terminals business segments, with Adjusted EBITDA up 7% versus
the fourth quarter of 2023. Our balance sheet remains healthy, as
we ended the year with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.0
times,” said Chief Executive Officer Kim Dang.
“We are also today announcing the Trident Intrastate Pipeline
Project, an approximately 216-mile pipeline build underpinned by
long-term contracts that will provide approximately 1.5 billion
cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of capacity from Katy, Texas to the LNG
and industrial corridor near Port Arthur, Texas,” continued
Dang.
“Further, during the quarter we secured additional long-term,
binding transportation agreements on our previously announced
Mississippi Crossing Project, resulting in a current project
subscription of approximately 1.8 Bcf/d. The estimated $1.6 billion
project is now designed to transport up to 2.1 Bcf/d of natural gas
through the construction of nearly 206 miles of 42-inch and 36-inch
pipeline and three new compressor stations.
“For several quarters now, we have pointed to expected
significant new natural gas demand for LNG, power plants, and
emerging opportunities such as artificial intelligence operations,
cryptocurrency mining, data centers and industrial re-shoring.
These expectations are being realized. Our commercial teams have
secured contracts to underpin three large natural gas projects -
South System Expansion 4, Mississippi Crossing and Trident,
totaling approximately $5 billion (KM share) in project costs.
These projects are all progressing and are expected to contribute
to significant future growth once in service,” said Dang.
“Our project backlog also reflects this strong natural gas
demand. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, the backlog stood
at $8.1 billion, a nearly 60% increase compared to $5.1 billion in
the third quarter of 2024. Natural gas projects account for
approximately 89% of the backlog. In calculating backlog Project
EBITDA multiples, we exclude both the capital and EBITDA from our
CO2 enhanced oil recovery projects and our gathering and processing
projects, where first full year multiples are more favorable but
the earnings are more uneven than with our other business segments.
We expect the remaining $7.0 billion of projects in the backlog,
when realized, to generate an aggregate first full year Project
EBITDA multiple of approximately 5.8 times (up 0.4 times versus the
previous quarter).
2025 Outlook
For 2025, KMI budgeted net income attributable to KMI of $2.8
billion, up 8% versus 2024 and Adjusted EPS of $1.27, up 10% from
2024. KMI expects to declare dividends of $1.17 per share for 2025,
a 2% increase from the dividends declared for 2024. The company
also budgeted 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $8.3 billion, up 4% versus
2024, and to end 2025 with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio of
3.8 times. These amounts do not include contributions from the
Outrigger Energy II acquisition discussed below.
The budget assumes average annual prices for West Texas
Intermediate (WTI) crude oil and Henry Hub natural gas of $68 per
barrel and $3.00 per million British thermal units (MMBtu),
respectively, consistent with the published forward curve available
during the company’s annual budget process.
We plan to publish our annual outlook and budget presentation,
which will provide more detail on our 2025 budget, to KMI’s website
at:
https://ir.kindermorgan.com/events-and-presentations/default.aspx
on Wednesday, February 5, 2025.
This press release includes Adjusted Net Income Attributable to
KMI, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Segment EBDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Net
Debt, FCF and Project EBITDA, all of which are non-GAAP financial
measures. For descriptions of these non-GAAP financial measures and
reconciliations to the most comparable measures prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, please
see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables accompanying our
preliminary financial statements. Historically, KMI has disclosed
budgeted distributable cash flow, or DCF, in the aggregate and per
share. Consistent with KMI’s December 9, 2024 press release
announcing 2025 financial expectations, this press release does not
include discussion of DCF, due to declining investor interest in
DCF as a primary performance measure. However, historical DCF is
provided in Table 6 as supplemental information for comparability
purposes.
Overview of Business
Segments
“The Natural Gas Pipelines business segment’s improved
financial performance in the fourth quarter of 2024 relative to the
fourth quarter of 2023 was due primarily to continued higher
contributions from our Texas Intrastate system, additional
contributions from our STX Midstream acquisition and continued
higher contributions from expansion projects on Tennessee Gas
Pipeline (TGP), partially offset by lower contributions from our
gathering systems due to lower volumes,” said KMI President Tom
Martin.
“Natural gas transport volumes were flat to the fourth quarter
of 2023. Natural gas gathering volumes were down 7% from the fourth
quarter of 2023, primarily from our Haynesville and Bakken
gathering systems due to lower commodity prices. On a full-year
basis, gathering volumes were up 6% versus 2023.
“Contributions from the Products Pipelines business
segment were up compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 on higher
rates in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the impact of declining
commodity prices in the prior year period, partially offset by
lower volumes on our Hiland gathering system. Total refined
products volumes were up 2%, and crude and condensate volumes were
down 5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023,” Martin said.
“Terminals business segment earnings were up compared to
the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was led by our Jones Act
tanker fleet, which benefited from higher rates and remains fully
contracted under term charter agreements. Our bulk business
benefited from increased contributions from our petroleum coke
handling activities. Contributions from liquids terminals were
higher versus the prior year period largely owing to the impact of
expansion projects placed into service,” continued Martin.
“CO2 business segment earnings were down compared to the
fourth quarter of 2023 due to the divestiture of certain assets
earlier in the year and lower crude oil, CO2 and NGL volumes,
partially offset by contributions from the North McElroy Unit
acquired earlier in the year as well as lower power costs. Full
year crude net-to-KMI volumes were down 6% versus the prior year,
though within 1% of plan, and would have slightly exceeded plan
excluding acquisitions and divestitures,” said Martin.
Other News
Natural Gas Pipelines
- KMI is proceeding with its approximately $1.7 billion Trident
Intrastate Pipeline project. The approximately 216-mile project is
underpinned by long-term contracts and will provide approximately
1.5 Bcf/d of capacity from Katy, Texas to the LNG and industrial
corridor near Port Arthur, Texas. Pending receipt of all required
permits and approvals, KMI expects the project to be in service in
the first quarter of 2027.
- On January 13, 2025, KMI announced that its subsidiary, Hiland
Partners Holdings LLC, agreed to purchase a natural gas gathering
and processing system in North Dakota from Outrigger Energy II for
$640 million. The acquisition includes a 270 million cubic feet per
day (MMcf/d) processing facility and a 104-mile, large-diameter,
high-pressure rich gas gathering header pipeline with 350 MMcf/d of
capacity connecting supplies from the Williston Basin area to
high-demand markets. The gathering and processing system is backed
by long-term contracts with commitments from major customers in the
basin. KMI expects the acquisition to be immediately accretive to
its shareholders, with a 2025 Adjusted EBITDA multiple of
approximately 8 times on a full-year basis. Adjusted EBITDA does
not include approximately $20 million of expected cash payments in
2025 that receive deferred revenue recognition. The transaction is
subject to clearance under Hart-Scott-Rodino and is expected to
close in the first quarter of 2025.
- On December 19, 2024, TGP announced its decision to proceed
with its Mississippi Crossing (MSX) project after securing
long-term, binding transportation agreements for 1.5 Bcf/d of
capacity. Since then, TGP has secured additional long-term, binding
transportation agreements resulting in a current project
subscription of approximately 1.8 Bcf/d. The estimated $1.6 billion
project is now designed to transport up to 2.1 Bcf/d of natural gas
through the construction of nearly 206 miles of 42-inch and 36-inch
pipeline and three new compressor stations. The project will
originate near Greenville, Mississippi, and conclude near Butler,
Alabama, with connections to the existing TGP system and
third-party pipelines to provide critical supply access sourced
from multiple supply basins. Pending the receipt of all required
permits and clearances, the project is expected to be placed in
service in November 2028.
- Preliminary survey work is progressing on the South System
Expansion 4 (SSE4) project designed to increase Southern Natural
Gas’s (SNG) South Line capacity by approximately 1.2 Bcf/d. Upon
completion, the approximately $3 billion project will help meet
growing power generation and local distribution company demand in
the Southeast. SSE4 will be completed in two phases and is almost
entirely comprised of brownfield looping and horsepower compression
additions on the SNG and Elba Express (EEC) pipeline systems
(KM-share approximately $1.7 billion, including EEC). Subject to
all required approvals, KMI expects to place the first phase of the
project in service in the fourth quarter of 2028 and the second
phase in the fourth quarter of 2029.
- Preliminary construction activities are underway on the fully
contracted Gulf Coast Express Pipeline LLC (GCX) expansion project.
The $455 million expansion project (KM-share approximately $161
million) is designed to increase by 570 MMcf/d natural gas
deliveries from the Permian Basin to South Texas markets. Subject
to all required approvals, the project is expected to be in service
in mid-2026.
- Construction continues on the second phase of the approximately
$672 million Evangeline Pass project, which has an expected
in-service date of July 1, 2025. The two-phase project involves
modifications and enhancements to portions of the TGP and SNG
systems in Mississippi and Louisiana, resulting in the delivery of
approximately 2 Bcf/d of natural gas to Venture Global’s
Plaquemines LNG facility.
Terminals
- Construction is nearing completion on KMI’s latest expansion of
its industry-leading RD and SAF feedstock storage and logistics
offering at its lower Mississippi River hub. The approximately $54
million project at its Geismar River Terminal in Geismar, Louisiana
involves the construction of multiple tanks totaling approximately
250,000 barrels of heated storage capacity as well as various
marine, rail and pipeline infrastructure improvements. Due to
contractor delays, the project is now expected to be in service in
the first quarter of 2025.
Products
- In December 2024, the Kinder Morgan petroleum condensate
processing facility’s existing customer exercised its unilateral
right to extend its contract at existing rates for five years,
taking the term through 2030. The extension is a recognition of the
competitive value of the processing facility’s connectivity in the
Houston Ship Channel hub.
Energy Transition Ventures
- Autumn Hills RNG is expected to be placed into service in the
coming weeks. With a capacity of 0.8 Bcf of RNG annually, this
additional facility will bring KMI’s total RNG generation capacity
to 6.9 Bcf per year.

Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
As described in further detail below, our management evaluates
our performance primarily using Net income attributable to Kinder
Morgan, Inc. and Segment earnings before DD&A expenses
including amortization of excess cost of equity investments (EBDA),
along with the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Net income
attributable to Common Stock, and distributable cash flow (DCF),
both in the aggregate and per share for each, Adjusted Segment
EBDA, Adjusted Net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc.,
Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, DD&A expenses
including amortization of excess cost of equity investments
(EBITDA), and Net Debt.
Our non-GAAP financial measures described below should not be
considered alternatives to GAAP net income attributable to Kinder
Morgan, Inc. or other GAAP measures and have important limitations
as analytical tools. Our computations of these non-GAAP financial
measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.
You should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in
isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as
reported under GAAP. Management compensates for the limitations of
our consolidated non-GAAP financial measures by reviewing our
comparable GAAP measures identified in the descriptions of
consolidated non-GAAP measures below, understanding the differences
between the measures and taking this information into account in
its analysis and its decision-making processes.
Certain Items, as adjustments used
to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures, are items that are
required by GAAP to be reflected in net income attributable to
Kinder Morgan, Inc., but typically either (1) do not have a cash
impact (for example, unsettled commodity hedges and asset
impairments), or (2) by their nature are separately identifiable
from our normal business operations and in most cases are likely to
occur only sporadically (for example, certain legal settlements,
enactment of new tax legislation and casualty losses). (See the
accompanying Tables 2, 3, and 5.) We also include adjustments
related to joint ventures (see “Amounts from
Joint Ventures” below).
The following table summarizes our Certain Items for the three
and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

(4)
Amount for the twelve-month

reported within “Earnings from equity investments” on the
accompanying Preliminary Consolidated Statements of Income: $67
million of “Loss (gain) on divestitures and impairment, net” for a
non-cash impairment related to our investment in Double Eagle
Pipeline LLC in our Products Pipelines business segment.
(5)
Amounts for the periods ending
December 31, 2024 and 2023 include the following amounts reported
within "Interest, net" on the accompanying Preliminary Consolidated
Statements of Income: $(10) million and $3 million for the
three-month periods, respectively, and $(5) million and $(7)
million for the twelve-month periods, respectively, of “Change in
fair value of derivative contracts.”
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Kinder
Morgan, Inc. is calculated by adjusting net income
attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for Certain Items. Adjusted Net
Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. is used by us, investors
and other external users of our financial statements as a
supplemental measure that provides decision-useful information
regarding our period-over-period performance and ability to
generate earnings that are core to our ongoing operations. We
believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted Net
Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. is net income
attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. (See the accompanying Tables 1
and 2.)
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common
Stock is calculated by adjusting Net income attributable to
Kinder Morgan, Inc., the most comparable GAAP measure, for Certain
Items, and further for net income allocated to participating
securities and adjusted net income in excess of distributions for
participating securities. We believe Adjusted Net Income
Attributable to Common Stock allows for calculation of adjusted
earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) on the most comparable basis with
earnings per share, the most comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted
EPS. Adjusted EPS is calculated as
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stock divided by our
weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted EPS applies the same
two-class method used in arriving at basic earnings per share.
Adjusted EPS is used by us, investors and other external users of
our financial statements as a per-share supplemental measure that
provides decision-useful information regarding our
period-over-period performance and ability to generate earnings
that are core to our ongoing operations. (See the accompanying
Table 2.)
Adjusted Segment EBDA is calculated
by adjusting segment earnings before DD&A and amortization of
excess cost of equity investments, general and administrative
expenses and corporate charges, interest expense, and income taxes
(Segment EBDA) for Certain Items attributable to the segment.
Adjusted Segment EBDA is used by management in its analysis of
segment performance and management of our business. We believe
Adjusted Segment EBDA is a useful performance metric because it
provides management, investors and other external users of our
financial statements additional insight into performance trends
across our business segments, our segments’ relative contributions
to our consolidated performance and the ability of our segments to
generate earnings on an ongoing basis. Adjusted Segment EBDA is
also used as a factor in determining compensation under our annual
incentive compensation program for our business segment presidents
and other business segment employees. We believe it is useful to
investors because it is a measure that management uses to allocate
resources to our segments and assess each segment’s performance.
(See the accompanying Table 3.)
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by
adjusting net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for
Certain Items and further for DD&A and amortization of excess
cost of equity investments, income tax expense and interest. We
also include amounts from joint ventures for income taxes and
DD&A (see “Amounts from Joint
Ventures” below). Adjusted EBITDA (on a rolling 12-months
basis) is used by management, investors and other external users,
in conjunction with our Net Debt (as described further below), to
evaluate our leverage. Management and external users also use
Adjusted EBITDA as an important metric to compare the valuations of
companies across our industry. Our ratio of Net Debt-to-Adjusted
EBITDA is used as a supplemental performance target for purposes of
our annual incentive compensation program. We believe the GAAP
measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income
attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. (See the accompanying Tables 2
and 5.)
Amounts from Joint Ventures -
Certain Items, DCF and Adjusted EBITDA reflect amounts from
unconsolidated joint ventures (JVs) and consolidated JVs utilizing
the same recognition and measurement methods used to record
“Earnings from equity investments” and “Noncontrolling interests
(NCI),” respectively. The calculations of DCF and Adjusted EBITDA
related to our unconsolidated and consolidated JVs include the same
items (DD&A and income tax expense, and for DCF only, also cash
taxes and sustaining capital expenditures) with respect to the JVs
as those included in the calculations of DCF and Adjusted EBITDA
for our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries; further, we remove
the portion of these adjustments attributable to non-controlling
interests. (See Tables 2, 5 and 6.) Although these amounts related
to our unconsolidated JVs are included in the calculations of DCF
and Adjusted EBITDA, such inclusion should not be understood to
imply that we have control over the operations and resulting
revenues, expenses or cash flows of such unconsolidated JVs.
Net Debt is calculated by
subtracting from debt (1) cash and cash equivalents, (2) debt fair
value adjustments, and (3) the foreign exchange impact on
Euro-denominated bonds for which we have entered into currency
swaps to convert that debt to U.S. dollars. Net Debt, on its own
and in conjunction with our Adjusted EBITDA (on a rolling 12-months
basis) as part of a ratio of Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA, is a
non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management, investors
and other external users of our financial information to evaluate
our leverage. Our ratio of Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA is also used
as a supplemental performance target for purposes of our annual
incentive compensation program. We believe the most comparable
measure to Net Debt is total debt as reconciled in the notes to the
accompanying Preliminary Consolidated Balance Sheets in Table
5.
DCF is calculated by adjusting net
income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for Certain Items, and
further for DD&A and amortization of excess cost of equity
investments, income tax expense, cash taxes, sustaining capital
expenditures and other items. We also adjust amounts from joint
ventures for income taxes, DD&A, cash taxes and sustaining
capital expenditures (see “Amounts from Joint
Ventures” below). DCF is used by us to evaluate our
performance and to measure and estimate the ability of our assets
to generate economic earnings after paying interest expense, paying
cash taxes and expending sustaining capital. DCF provides
additional insight into the specific costs associated with our
assets in the current period and facilitates period-to-period
comparisons of our performance from ongoing business activities.
DCF per share serves as the primary financial performance target
for purposes of annual bonuses under our annual incentive
compensation program and for performance-based vesting of equity
compensation grants under our long-term incentive compensation
program. DCF should not be used as an alternative to net cash
provided by operating activities computed under GAAP. We believe
the GAAP measure most directly comparable to DCF is net income
attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. DCF per share is DCF divided by
average outstanding shares, including restricted stock awards that
participate in dividends. (See the accompanying Table 6.)
Project EBITDA is calculated for an
individual capital project as earnings before interest expense,
taxes, DD&A and general and administrative expenses
attributable to such project, or for JV projects, consistent with
the methods described above under “Amounts from Joint Ventures,”
and in conjunction with capital expenditures for the project, is
the basis for our Project EBITDA multiple. Management, investors
and others use Project EBITDA to evaluate our return on investment
for capital projects before expenses that are generally not
controllable by operating managers in our business segments. We
believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Project EBITDA
is the portion of net income attributable to a capital project. We
do not provide the portion of budgeted net income attributable to
individual capital projects (the GAAP financial measure most
directly comparable to Project EBITDA) due to the impracticality of
predicting, on a project-by-project basis through the second full
year of operations, certain amounts required by GAAP, such as
projected commodity prices, unrealized gains and losses on
derivatives marked to market, and potential estimates for certain
contingent liabilities associated with the project completion.
FCF is calculated by reducing cash
flow from operations for capital expenditures (sustaining and
expansion), and FCF after dividends is calculated by further
reducing FCF for dividends paid during the period. FCF is used by
management, investors and other external users as an additional
leverage metric, and FCF after dividends provides additional
insight into cash flow generation. Therefore, we believe FCF is
useful to our investors. We believe the GAAP measure most directly
comparable to FCF is cash flow from operations. (See the
accompanying Table 7.)

The prepayment related to contracts expiring from 2035 to 2040 and
was discounted to present value at a rate that was attractive to
our cost of issuing debt.
