Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are identified as any statement that does not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “forecast,” “strategy,” “position,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” or the negative of those terms or other variations of them or comparable terminology. In particular, expressed or implied statements concerning future actions, conditions or events, future operating results or the ability to generate sales, income or cash flow or to pay dividends are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Future actions, conditions or events and future results of operations may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to control or predict.

See “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (2013 Form 10-K) for a more detailed description of factors that may affect the forward-looking statements. When considering forward-looking statements, one should keep in mind the risk factors described in our 2013 Form 10-K. The risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Because of these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. We plan to provide updates to projections included in this report when we believe previously disclosed projections no longer have a reasonable basis.

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

Organization

Kinder Morgan, Inc. is the largest midstream and the fourth largest energy company in North America with a combined enterprise value of approximately $110 billion. We own an interest in or operate approximately 80,000 miles of pipelines and 180 terminals. Our pipelines transport natural gas, refined petroleum products, crude oil, condensate, CO2 and other products, and our terminals transport, transload and store petroleum products, ethanol and chemicals, and handle such products as coal, petroleum coke and steel. We are also the leading producer and transporter of CO2, for enhanced oil recovery projects in North America.
 
We own an approximate 10% limited partner interest and the 2% general partner interest in KMP, a leading pipeline transportation and energy storage company and one of the largest publicly-traded pipeline limited partnerships in America. KMP’s limited partner units are traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “KMP.” 

We also own an approximate 40% limited partner interest and the 2% general partner interest in EPB, as well as certain natural gas pipeline assets. EPB’s limited partner units are traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “EPB.”

Our common stock trades on the NYSE under the symbol “KMI.”
 
KMR is a publicly traded Delaware LLC.  KMGP, the general partner of KMP and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, owns all of KMR’s voting shares.  KMR, pursuant to a delegation of control agreement, has been delegated, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, all of KMGP’s power and authority to manage and control the business and affairs of KMP, subject to KMGP’s right to approve certain transactions.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
General

Our reporting currency is U.S. dollars, and all references to dollars are U.S. dollars, except where stated otherwise. Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These rules and regulations conform to the accounting principles contained in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, the single source of GAAP. Under such rules and regulations, all significant intercompany items have been eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, we have condensed or omitted certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with the Codification. We believe, however, that our disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. 
 
Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect normal adjustments, and also recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of our management, necessary for a fair statement of our financial results for the interim periods. In addition, certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation (including reclassifications between “Services” and “Product sales and other” within the “Revenues” section of our accompanying consolidated statements of income). 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 2013 Form 10-K.

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries including the accounts of KMP, EPB and KMR.  Investments in jointly-owned operations in which we hold a 50% or less interest (other than KMP, EPB and KMR, because we have the ability to exercise significant control over their operating and financial policies) are accounted for under the equity method.
 
Notwithstanding the consolidation of KMP and EPB, and their respective subsidiaries, into our financial statements, we are not liable for, and our assets are not available to satisfy, the obligations of KMP and EPB, and/or their respective subsidiaries, and vice versa, except as discussed in Note 10, “Litigation, Environmental and Other Contingencies — Other Contingencies.”  Responsibility for payments of obligations reflected in our, KMP or EPB’s financial statements is a legal determination based on the entity that incurs the liability.

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q



 Goodwill

We evaluate goodwill for impairment on May 31 of each year. There were no impairment charges resulting from our May 31, 2014 impairment testing, and no event indicating an impairment has occurred subsequent to that date.

Earnings per Share
 
We calculate earnings per share using the two-class method. Earnings were allocated to Class P shares of 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 do not participate in excess distributions over earnings.

The following table sets forth the allocation of net income available to shareholders for Class P shares and for participating securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):

2.  Acquisitions and Divestitures
 
Acquisitions

American Petroleum Tankers and State Class Tankers

Effective January 17, 2014, KMP acquired APT and State Class Tankers (SCT) for aggregate consideration of $961 million in cash (the APT acquisition). APT is engaged in the marine transportation of crude oil, condensate and refined products in the U.S. domestic trade, commonly referred to as the Jones Act trade. APT’s primary assets consist of a fleet of five medium range Jones Act qualified product tankers, each with 330 MBbl of cargo capacity, and each operating pursuant to long-term time charters with high quality counterparties, including major integrated oil companies, major refiners and the U.S. Military Sealift Command. As of the closing date, the vessels’ time charters had an average remaining term of approximately four years, with renewal options to extend the terms by an average of two years. APT’s vessels are operated by Crowley Maritime Corporation.

SCT has commissioned the construction of four medium range Jones Act qualified product tankers, each with 330 MBbl of cargo capacity. The SCT vessels are scheduled to be delivered in 2015 and 2016 and are being constructed by General Dynamics’ NASSCO shipyard. KMP expects to invest approximately $214 million to complete the construction of these four SCT vessels, and upon delivery, the vessels will be operated pursuant to long-term time charters with a major integrated oil company. Each of the time charters has an initial term of five years, with renewal options to extend the term by up to three

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q


years. The APT acquisition complements and extends KMP’s existing crude oil and refined products transportation business, and all of the acquired assets are included in the Terminals—KMP business segment.

As of June 30, 2014, KMP’s preliminary purchase price allocation related to the APT acquisition, as adjusted to date, is as follows (in millions). The evaluation of the assigned fair values is ongoing and subject to adjustment.

The “Goodwill” intangible asset amount represents the future economic benefits expected to be derived from KMP’s acquisition that are not assignable to other individually identifiable, separately recognizable assets acquired. We believe the goodwill was primarily generated by the value of the synergies created by expanding KMP’s non-pipeline liquids handling operations. Furthermore, KMP expects to fully deduct for tax purposes the entire amount of goodwill recognized. The “Unfavorable customer contracts” figure represents the amount, on a present value basis, by which the customer contracts were below market day rates at the time of acquisition. This amount is amortized as a noncash adjustment to revenue over the remaining contract period.

Other

Effective May 1, 2013, KMP acquired all of Copano’s outstanding units for a total purchase price of approximately $5.2 billion (including assumed debt and all other assumed liabilities). The transaction was a 100% unit for unit transaction with an exchange ratio of 0.4563 of KMP’s common units for each Copano common unit. KMP issued 43,371,210 of its common units valued at $3,733 million as consideration for the Copano acquisition (based on the $86.08 closing market price of a common unit on the NYSE on the May 1, 2013 issuance date). Also, due to the fact that KMP’s Copano acquisition included the remaining 50% interest in Eagle Ford Gathering that it did not already own, KMP remeasured its existing 50% equity investment in Eagle Ford Gathering to its fair value as of the acquisition date. As a result of this remeasurement, we recognized a $558 million non-cash gain, which represented the excess of the investment’s fair value ($704 million) over the carrying value as of May 1, 2013 ($146 million), and we reported this gain separately as “Gain on remeasurement of previously held equity interest in Eagle Ford Gathering to fair value” on our accompanying consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

The table above reflects changes we made in the first six months of 2014 to our preliminary purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2013. Based on our final measurement of fair values for all of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date, we reduced the preliminary value assigned to (i) “Investments” by $87 million; (ii) “Property, plant and equipment, net” by $17 million; and (ii) combined working capital items by $3 million.

The “Goodwill” intangible asset amount represents the future economic benefits expected to be derived from this acquisition that are not assignable to other individually identifiable, separately recognizable assets acquired. We believe the goodwill was primarily generated by the value of the synergies created by KMP’s expanding natural gas gathering and refined product transportation operations. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes and is subject to an impairment test at least annually. The “Other intangibles, net” asset amount represents the fair value of acquired customer contracts and agreements. We are currently amortizing these intangible assets over an estimated remaining useful life of 25 years.

Our accounting policy is to apply the look-through method of recording deferred taxes on the outside book tax basis differences in our investments without regard to non-tax deductible goodwill. As a result of the goodwill recorded by KMP for its Copano acquisition, KMI’s deferred tax liability and goodwill were decreased by $285 million for the portion of its outside basis difference associated with KMP’s underlying goodwill.

Effective June 1, 2013, KMP acquired certain oil and gas properties, rights, and related assets located in the Goldsmith Landreth San Andres oil field unit in the Permian Basin of West Texas from Legado Resources LLC for an aggregate consideration of $298 million, consisting of $280 million in cash and assumed liabilities of $18 million (including $12 million of long-term asset retirement obligations).

For additional information about KMP’s Copano and Goldsmith Landreth acquisitions (including our preliminary purchase price allocations as of December 31, 2013), see Note 3 “Acquisitions and Divestitures—Business Combinations and Acquisitions of Investments” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Divestitures

Express Pipeline System

Effective March 14, 2013, KMP sold both its one-third equity ownership interest in the Express pipeline system and its subordinated debenture investment in Express to Spectra Energy Corp. KMP received net cash proceeds of $402 million (after paying $1 million in the third quarter of 2013 for both a final working capital settlement and certain transaction-related selling expenses), and we reported the $403 million of proceeds received in the first half of 2013 within “Proceeds from sales of investments” within the investing section of our accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Additionally, we recognized a combined $225 million pre-tax gain with respect to this sale in the first half of 2013, and we reported this gain amount separately as “Gain on sale of investments in Express pipeline system” on our accompanying consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2013. We also recorded an income tax expense of $84 million related to this gain on sale for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and we included this expense within “Income Tax Expense.” As of the date of sale, KMP’s equity investment in Express totaled $67 million and its note receivable due from Express totaled $110 million.

BBPP Holdings Ltda

On January 18, 2013, we completed the sale of our equity interests in the Bolivia to Brazil Pipeline for $88 million, which amount is included in “Proceeds from sales of investments” within the investing section of our accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Drop-down of Assets to EPB

On May 2, 2014, EPB acquired from us our 50% equity interest in Ruby Pipeline Holding Company, L.L.C. (Ruby), our indirect 50% equity interest in Gulf LNG Holdings Group, L.L.C. (Gulf LNG) and our indirect 47.5% equity interest in Young Gas Storage Company, Ltd in a transaction valued at approximately $2 billion (the “May 2014 drop-down transaction”). The transaction value includes approximately $1 billion of debt as of April 30, 2014, representing 50% of total debt of Ruby and Gulf LNG as of such date and was effective as of the close of business on April 30, 2014. Following the receipt of separate fairness opinions from different investment banks, the terms of this drop-down transaction were approved on our behalf by the independent members of our board of directors and on EPB’s behalf by a conflicts committee comprised of the independent members of EPB’s general partner’s board of directors, and following the recommendation by such conflicts committee, by its general partner’s board of directors. The aggregate consideration of $972 million paid to us in this drop-down transaction

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q


consisted of approximately $875 million of cash and 3,059,924 newly issued EPB common units representing limited partner interest in EPB.

3. Debt

We classify our debt based on the contractual maturity dates of the underlying debt instruments.  We defer costs associated with debt issuance over the applicable term. These costs are then amortized as interest expense in our accompanying consolidated statements of income using the effective interest rate method. The following table provides detail on the principal amount of our outstanding debt balances as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The table amounts exclude all debt fair value adjustments, including debt discounts and premiums (in millions).

(a)
The senior secured term loan facility, due May 24, 2015, was repaid and replaced in May 2014 with a new unsecured senior term loan facility due May 6, 2017 (see “— Credit Facilities” below).
(b)
On June 30, 2014, El Paso Issuing Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of El Paso Holdco LLC and the corporate co-issuer under certain guaranteed notes, merged with and into El Paso Holdco LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KMI, and immediately thereafter, El Paso Holdco LLC merged with and into KMI pursuant to an internal restructuring transaction. KMI succeeded El Paso Holdco LLC as issuer with respect to these debt obligations. Consequently, El Paso Holdco LLC ceased to be an obligor with respect to approximately $3.6 billion of outstanding senior notes. Therefore, the condensed consolidating financial information that had previously been disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements is no longer required as of June 30, 2014.
(c)
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the weighted average interest rates on KMI’s credit facility borrowings were 2.16% and 2.67%, respectively.
(d)
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our “Debt fair value adjustments” increased our combined debt balances by $1,973 million and $1,977 million, respectively. In addition to all unamortized debt discount/premium amounts and purchase accounting on our debt balances, our debt fair value adjustments also include (i) amounts associated with the offsetting entry for hedged debt; and (ii) any unamortized portion of proceeds received from the early termination of interest rate swap agreements. For further information about our debt fair value adjustments, see Note 5 “Risk Management—Debt Fair Value Adjustments.”
(e)
As of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the average interest rate on KMP’s outstanding commercial paper borrowings was 0.28%. The borrowings under KMP’s commercial paper program were used principally to finance the acquisitions and capital expansions, and in the near term, KMP expects that its short-term liquidity and financing needs will be met primarily through borrowings made under its commercial paper program.
(f)
Amounts include outstanding commercial paper borrowings discussed above in footnote (e).
(g)
LIBOR plus 1.75%.

Credit Facilities

KMI
 
On May 2, 2014, KMI’s term loan facility was partially repaid using proceeds from the May 2014 drop-down transaction, resulting in a remaining outstanding balance of $650 million. On May 6, 2014, KMI replaced its previous $1.75 billion, secured revolving credit facility and its term loan facility which were scheduled to mature in December 2014 and May 2015, respectively, with a new $1.75 billion five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility due May 2019 and a new $650 million three-year, term loan facility maturing May 2017. Additionally, as a result of the new unsecured revolving credit and term loan facilities, KMI’s and its wholly-owned subsidiaries’ senior notes are now unsecured. Borrowings under the new revolving credit facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The credit facility’s financial covenants are similar to those in our previous revolving credit facility, including restrictions on indebtedness, entering into mergers, granting liens and making any dividends if an event of default exists. The covenants also include a maximum ratio of total debt (net of cash on hand) divided by Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement and which includes cash items from operations and distributions received from subsidiaries or investments, and excludes non-cash items) of 4.75 or 5.5 for periods following specified acquisitions. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all required financial covenants. The new revolving credit facility provides that the margin we will pay with respect to borrowings and the facility fee we will pay on the total commitment will vary based on our senior debt rating. Interest on the new revolving credit facility accrues at KMI’s option at a floating rate equal to either:

the administrative agent’s base rate, plus a margin, which varies depending upon the credit rating of KMI’s long-term senior unsecured debt (the administrative agent’s base rate is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, plus 0.50%, (ii) the Prime Rate and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin between 0.25% and 1.25% per annum); or
LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% per annum.

As of June 30, 2014, we had $820 million outstanding under KMI’s $1.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and $58 million in letters of credit. Our availability under this facility as of June 30, 2014 was approximately $872 million.  

KMP

On January 15, 2014, in anticipation of the APT acquisition, KMP entered into a short-term unsecured liquidity facility with KMP as borrower, and UBS as administrative agent. This liquidity facility provided for borrowings of up to $1.0 billion from a syndicate of financial institutions and was scheduled to mature on July 15, 2014. Additionally, in conjunction with the establishment of this liquidity facility, KMP increased its commercial paper program to provide for the issuance of up to $3.7 billion (up from $2.7 billion). KMP made no borrowings under this liquidity facility, and after receiving the cash proceeds from both its February 2014 public offering of senior notes (described following) and its February 2014 public offering of common units (described in Note 4 “Stockholder’s Equity—Noncontrolling Interests—Contributions”), KMP terminated the liquidity facility and decreased its commercial paper program to again provide for the issuance of up to $2.7 billion.

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q



As of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, KMP had no borrowings under its $2.7 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing May 1, 2018. Borrowings under KMP’s revolving credit facility can be used for general partnership purposes and as a backup for KMP’s commercial paper program. Similarly, KMP’s borrowings under its commercial paper program reduce the borrowings allowed under its credit facility.

As of June 30, 2014, KMP had (i) $513 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding under its $2.7 billion credit facility; (ii) $205 million in letters of credit; and (iii) $175 million related to a capital contribution commitment to one of its unconsolidated subsidiaries. KMP’s availability under its credit facility as of June 30, 2014 was $1,807 million.

EPB

As of June 30, 2014, EPB had no outstanding balance under its revolving credit facility. EPB’s availability under its facility as of June 30, 2014 was $1 billion.

5.  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 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 certain of these risks.

As part of the EP acquisition, we acquired power forward and swap contracts. We have entered into offsetting positions that eliminate the price risks associated with our power contracts. As part of the May 1, 2013 Copano acquisition, KMP acquired derivative contracts related to natural gas, NGL and crude oil. None of these derivatives are designated as accounting hedges.

As of June 30, 2014, the maximum length of time over which we have hedged our exposure to the variability in future cash flows associated with energy commodity price risk is through December 2018.

Interest Rate Risk Management
 
As of June 30, 2014, KMI and KMP had a combined notional principal amount of $725 million and $5,175 million, respectively, of fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements, effectively converting the interest expense associated with certain series of senior notes from fixed rates to variable rates based on an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread.  All of KMI’s and KMP’s swap agreements have termination dates that correspond to the maturity dates of the related series of senior notes and, as of June 30, 2014, the maximum length of time over which we have hedged a portion of our exposure to the variability in the value of this debt due to interest rate risk is through March 15, 2035.

 As of December 31, 2013, KMI and KMP had a combined notional principal amount of $725 million and $4,675 million, respectively, of fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements. In February 2014, KMP entered into four separate fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements having a combined notional principal amount of $500 million. These agreements effectively convert a portion of the interest expense associated with KMP’s 3.50% senior notes due March 1, 2021, from a fixed rate to a variable rate based on an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread.

Debt Fair Value Adjustments

The offsetting entry to adjust the carrying value of the debt securities whose fair value was being hedged is included within “Debt fair value adjustments” on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Our “Debt fair value adjustments” also include all unamortized debt discount/premium amounts, purchase accounting on our debt balances, and any unamortized portion of proceeds received from the early termination of interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, these fair value adjustments to our debt balances included (i) $1,302 million and $1,379 million, respectively, associated with fair value adjustments to our debt previously recorded in purchase accounting; (ii) $255 million and $143 million, respectively, associated with the offsetting entry for hedged debt; (iii) $485 million and $517 million, respectively, associated with unamortized premium from the termination of interest rate swap agreements; and offset by (iv) $69 million and $62 million, respectively, associated with unamortized debt discount amounts. As of June 30, 2014, the weighted-average amortization period of the unamortized premium from the termination of the interest rate swaps was approximately 16 years.

_________
(a)
We expect to reclassify an approximate $49 million loss associated with energy commodity price risk management activities included in our accumulated other comprehensive loss and noncontrolling interest balances as of June 30, 2014 into earnings during the next twelve months (when the associated forecasted sales and purchases are also expected to occur), however, actual amounts reclassified into earnings could vary materially as a result of changes in market prices.

Credit Risks
 
We and our subsidiary, KMP, have counterparty credit risk as a result of our use of financial derivative contracts.  Our counterparties consist primarily of financial institutions, major energy companies, natural gas and electric utilities, and local distribution companies.  This concentration of counterparties may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that the counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other conditions.
 
We maintain credit policies with regard to our counterparties that we believe minimize our overall credit risk.  These policies include (i) an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition; (ii) collateral requirements under certain circumstances; and (iii) the use of standardized agreements which allow for netting of positive and negative exposure associated with a single counterparty.  Based on our policies, exposure, credit and other reserves, our management does not anticipate a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of counterparty performance.
 
Our OTC swaps and options are entered into with counterparties outside central trading organizations such as futures, options or stock exchanges.  These contracts are with a number of parties, all of which have investment grade credit ratings.  While we enter into derivative transactions with investment grade counterparties and actively monitor their ratings, it is nevertheless possible that, from time to time, losses will result from counterparty credit risk in the future.
 
In conjunction with the purchase of exchange-traded derivative contracts or when the market value of our derivative contracts with specific counterparties exceeds established limits, we are required to provide collateral to our counterparties, which may include posting letters of credit or placing cash in margin accounts.  As of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, KMP had no outstanding letters of credit supporting its hedging of energy commodity price risks associated with the sale of natural gas, NGL and crude oil. As of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, KMI had $167 million of outstanding letters of credit supporting its commodity price risks associated with the sale of natural gas and power.  
 
KMP and KMI also have agreements with certain counterparties to their derivative contracts that contain provisions requiring us to post additional collateral upon a decrease in their credit rating. As of June 30, 2014, we estimate that if KMP’s credit rating was downgraded one notch, KMP would be required to post no additional collateral to its counterparties.  If KMP was downgraded two notches (that is, below investment grade), KMP would be required to post $122 million of additional collateral. As of June 30, 2014, we estimate that if KMI’s credit rating was downgraded one or two notches, KMI would be required to post no additional collateral to its counterparties.

6.  Fair Value
 
The fair values of our financial instruments are separated into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2 and 3) based on our assessment of the availability of observable market data and the significance of non-observable data used to determine fair value.  Each fair value measurement must be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
 
The three broad levels of inputs defined by the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 Inputs—quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 Inputs—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 Inputs—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.  These unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (which might include the reporting entity’s own data).
 
Fair Value of Derivative Contracts
 
The following two tables summarize the fair value measurements of our (i) energy commodity derivative contracts and (ii) interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, based on the three levels established by the Codification.  Also, certain of our derivative contracts are subject to master netting agreements. The following tables present our derivative contracts subject to such netting agreements as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in millions):

(a)
Three and six month 2013 amounts represent the purchase of Level 3 energy commodity derivative contracts associated with KMP’s May 1, 2013 Copano acquisition.

As of June 30, 2014, our Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities consisted primarily of WTI options, NGL options and power derivative contracts, where a significant portion of fair value is calculated from underlying market data that is not readily observable. The derived values use industry standard methodologies that may consider the historical relationships among

25

various commodities, modeled market prices, time value, volatility factors and other relevant economic measures. The use of these inputs results is our management’s best estimate of fair value.

7.  Reportable Segments
 
We operate the following reportable business segments.  These segments and their principal sources of revenues are as follows:

Natural Gas Pipelines—the sale, transport, processing, treating, fractionation, storage and gathering of natural gas and NGL;  
CO2—KMP—the production, sale and transportation of crude oil from fields in the Permian Basin of West Texas and the production, transportation and marketing of CO2 used as a flooding medium for recovering crude oil from mature oil fields;
Products Pipelines—KMP— the transportation and terminaling of refined petroleum products (including gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel), NGL, crude oil and condensate, and bio-fuels;
Terminals—KMP—the transportation, transloading and storing of refined petroleum products, crude oil, condensate, and bulk products, including coal, petroleum coke, cement, alumina, salt and other bulk chemicals;
Kinder Morgan Canada—KMP—the transportation of crude oil and refined products from Alberta, Canada to marketing terminals and refineries in British Columbia, and the state of Washington. As further described in Note 2, Kinder Morgan Canada divested its interest in the Express pipeline system effective March 14, 2013; and
Other—primarily includes other miscellaneous assets and liabilities purchased in our 2012 EP acquisition including (i) our corporate headquarters in Houston, Texas; (ii) several physical natural gas contracts with power plants associated with EP’s legacy trading activities; and (iii) other miscellaneous EP assets and liabilities.

We evaluate performance principally based on each segment’s EBDA (including amortization of excess cost of equity investments), which excludes general and administrative expenses, third-party debt costs and interest expense, unallocable interest income, and unallocable income tax expense.  Our reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services, and they are structured based on how our chief operating decision makers organize their operations for optimal performance and resource allocation.  Each segment is managed separately because each segment involves different products and marketing strategies. Financial information by segment follows (in millions):

Tax expense from income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 is approximately $178 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 26% for continuing operations, as compared with $225 million tax expense and an effective tax rate of 22%, for the same period of 2013. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 is lower than the statutory federal rate of 35% primarily due to (i) the net effect of consolidating KMP and EPB’s income tax provision; (ii) dividend-received deductions from our 50% interest in Florida Gas Pipeline (through our investment in Citrus, LLC); and (iii) adjustments to KMI’s income tax reserve for uncertain tax positions. These decreases are partially offset by (i) state income taxes; and (ii) the amortization of the deferred charge recorded as a result of the August 2012 and March 2013 drop-down transactions to KMP.

Tax expense from income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is approximately $378 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 26% for continuing operations, as compared with $504 million tax expense and an effective tax rate of 26% for the same period of 2013. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is lower than the statutory federal rate of 35% primarily due to (i) the net effect of consolidating KMP and EPB’s income tax provision; and (ii) dividend-received deductions from our 50% interest in Florida Gas Pipeline (through our investment in Citrus, LLC). These decreases are partially offset by (i) state income taxes; and (ii) the amortization of the deferred charge recorded as a result of the August 2012 and March 2013 drop-down transactions to KMP.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013 is lower than the statutory federal rate of 35% primarily due to (i) the net effect of consolidating KMP and EPB’s income tax provisions; (ii) dividend-received deductions from our 50% investment in Florida Gas Pipeline; and (iii) the tax impact of a decrease in the deferred state tax rate as a result of the acquisition of Copano. These decreases are partially offset by state income taxes and a change in nondeductible goodwill related to our investment in KMP.

10.  Litigation, Environmental and Other Contingencies
 
We and our subsidiaries are parties to various legal, regulatory and other matters arising from the day-to-day operations of our businesses 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, that the ultimate resolution of such items will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations or dividends to our shareholders. 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 contingencies where an adverse outcome may be material, or in the judgment of management, we conclude the matter should otherwise be disclosed.
 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Proceedings
 
The tariffs and rates charged by SFPP and EPNG are subject to a number of ongoing proceedings at the FERC. A substantial portion of our legal reserves relate to these FERC cases and the CPUC cases described below them.
SFPP
The tariffs and rates charged by SFPP are subject to a number of ongoing proceedings at the FERC, including the complaints and protests of various shippers. In general, these complaints and protests allege the rates and tariffs charged by SFPP are not just and reasonable under the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA). In late June of 2014, certain shippers filed complaints with the FERC (docketed at OR14-35 and OR14-36) challenging SFPP’s adjustments to its rates in 2012 and 2013 for inflation under the FERC’s indexing regulations. If the shippers are successful in proving these claims or other of their claims, they are entitled to seek reparations (which may reach back up to two years prior to the filing of their complaints) or refunds of any excess rates paid, and SFPP may be required to reduce its rates going forward. These proceedings tend to be protracted, with decisions of the FERC often appealed to the federal courts. The issues involved in these proceedings include, among others, whether indexed rate increases are justified, and the appropriate level of return and income tax allowance KMP may include in its rates. With respect to all of the SFPP proceedings at the FERC, we estimate that the shippers are seeking approximately $20 million in annual rate reductions and approximately $100 million in refunds. However, applying the principles of several recent FERC decisions in SFPP cases, as applicable, to pending cases would result in substantially lower rate reductions and refunds than those sought by the shippers. We do not expect refunds in these cases to have an impact on KMP’s distributions to its limited partners or our dividends to our shareholders.
EPNG
The tariffs and rates charged by EPNG are subject to two ongoing FERC proceedings (the “2008 rate case” and the “2010 rate case”). With respect to the 2008 rate case, the FERC issued its decision (Opinion 517) in May 2012. EPNG implemented certain aspects of that decision and believes it has an appropriate reserve related to the findings in Opinion 517. EPNG has sought rehearing on Opinion 517. With respect to the 2010 rate case, the FERC issued its decision (Opinion 528) on October 17, 2013. EPNG sought rehearing on certain issues in Opinion 528. As required by Opinion 528, EPNG filed revised pro

29

 
Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q


forma recalculated rates consistent with the terms of Opinion 528. The FERC also required an Administrative Law Judge to conduct an additional hearing concerning one of the issues in Opinion 528 and a decision is expected in September 2014.

California Public Utilities Commission Proceedings
 
KMP has previously reported ratemaking and complaint proceedings against SFPP pending with the CPUC. The ratemaking and complaint cases generally involve challenges to rates charged by SFPP for intrastate transportation of refined petroleum products through its pipeline system in the state of California and request prospective rate adjustments and refunds with respect to tariffed and previously untariffed charges for certain pipeline transportation and related services. These matters have generally been consolidated and assigned to two administrative law judges.
 
On May 26, 2011, the CPUC issued a decision in several intrastate rate cases involving SFPP and a number of its shippers, (the “Long” cases). The decision included determinations on issues, such as SFPP’s entitlement to an income tax allowance, allocation of environmental expenses, and refund liability, which KMP asserted are contrary both to CPUC policy and precedent and to established federal regulatory policies for pipelines. On March 8, 2012, the CPUC issued another decision related to the Long cases. This decision largely reflected the determinations made on May 26, 2011, including the denial of an income tax allowance for SFPP. On March 23, 2012, SFPP filed a petition for writ of review in the California Court of Appeals, seeking a court order vacating the CPUC’s determination that SFPP is not entitled to recover an income tax allowance in its intrastate rates. The Court denied SFPP’s petition, and on October 16, 2013, the California Supreme Court declined SFPP’s request for further review. The precise impact of the now final state rulings denying SFPP an income tax allowance, together with other pending ratemaking issues, are subject to further consideration and determination by the CPUC.
 
On April 6, 2011, in proceedings unrelated to the above-referenced CPUC dockets, a CPUC administrative law judge issued a proposed decision (Bemesderfer case) substantially reducing SFPP’s authorized cost of service and ordering SFPP to pay refunds from May 24, 2007 to the present of revenues collected in excess of the authorized cost of service. The proposed decision was subsequently withdrawn, and the presiding administrative law judge is expected to reissue a proposed decision at some indeterminate time in the future.

On January 30, 2012, SFPP filed an application reducing its intrastate rates by approximately 7%. This matter remains pending before the CPUC.

On July 19, 2013, Calnev filed an application with the CPUC requesting a 36% increase in its intrastate rates. A decision from the CPUC approving the requested rate increase was issued on November 14, 2013.
 
On November 27, 2013, the CPUC issued its Order to Show Cause directing SFPP to demonstrate whether or not the CPUC should require immediate refund payments associated with various pending SFPP rate matters. Subsequently, the CPUC issued an order directing SFPP and its shippers to engage in mandatory settlement discussions. On April 3, 2014, the CPUC issued its ruling suspending proceedings in all pending SFPP matters until October 1, 2014 or the date upon which SFPP and its shippers inform the CPUC that SFPP and its shippers have reached settlement of all pending matters or have failed to do so. If the matter is not settled, a decision addressing, if not resolving, all pending SFPP rate matters at the CPUC is anticipated in the first quarter of 2015.

Based on KMP’s review of these CPUC proceedings and the shipper comments thereon, it estimates that the shippers are requesting approximately $400 million in reparation payments and approximately $30 million in annual rate reductions. The actual amount of reparations will be determined through settlement negotiations or further proceedings at the CPUC.  As of June 30, 2014, we believe our legal reserve is adequate such that the resolution of pending CPUC matters will not have a material adverse impact on KMP’s business, financial position or results of operations. Furthermore, we do not expect any reparations that KMP would pay in this matter to impact the per unit cash distributions it expects to pay to its limited partners for 2014.

Other Commercial Matters
 
Union Pacific Railroad Company Easements
 
SFPP and Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) are engaged in a proceeding to determine the extent, if any, to which the rent payable by SFPP for the use of pipeline easements on rights-of-way held by UPRR should be adjusted pursuant to existing contractual arrangements for the ten-year period beginning January 1, 2004 (Union Pacific Railroad Company v. Santa Fe Pacific Pipelines, Inc., SFPP, L.P., Kinder Morgan Operating L.P. “D”, Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., et al., Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, filed July 28, 2004). In September 2011, the trial judge determined that

30

 
Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q


the annual rent payable as of January 1, 2004 was $14 million subject to annual consumer price index increases. Judgment was entered by the Superior Court on May 29, 2012 and SFPP appealed the judgment. If the judgment is upheld on appeal, SFPP would owe approximately $95 million in back rent. Accordingly, KMP increased its rights-of-way liability to cover this potential liability for back rent. In addition, the trial judge determined that UPRR is entitled to approximately $20 million for interest through the date of the judgment on the outstanding back rent liability. KMP believes the award of interest is without merit and are pursuing our appellate rights. On June 27, 2014, the California Court of Appeals heard oral argument and requested that the parties submit supplemental briefing on the following issues: whether the UPRR ever had sufficient ownership interests to allow it to grant subsurface easements in land granted to it by Congress; whether there is sufficient evidence in the record on this question; and assuming that the UPRR did not have sufficient ownership interests to grant subsurface easements and that its rental agreements with SFPP were invalid, whether the parties can limit the scope of the Court’s inquiry on appeal by not disputing the underlying rights of the railroad. The parties are in the process of filing supplemental briefs on the foregoing issues and a decision is anticipated by the Court of Appeals in 2014.

By notice dated October 25, 2013, UPRR demanded the payment of $22.25 million in rent for the first year of the next ten-year period beginning January 1, 2014. SFPP rejected the demand and the parties are pursuing the dispute resolution procedure in their contract to determine the rental adjustment, if any, for such period.
 
SFPP and UPRR are also engaged in multiple disputes over the circumstances under which SFPP must pay for a relocation of its pipeline within the UPRR right-of-way and the safety standards that govern relocations. In July 2006, a trial before a judge regarding the circumstances under which SFPP must pay for relocations concluded, and the judge determined that SFPP must pay for any relocations resulting from any legitimate business purpose of the UPRR. SFPP appealed this decision, and in December 2008, the appellate court affirmed the decision. In addition, UPRR contends that SFPP must comply with the more expensive American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) standards in determining when relocations are necessary and in completing relocations. Each party is seeking declaratory relief with respect to its positions regarding the application of these standards with respect to relocations. A trial occurred in the fourth quarter of 2011, with a verdict having been reached that SFPP was obligated to comply with AREMA standards in connection with a railroad project in Beaumont Hills, California. On March 10, 2014, the trial court issued a tentative statement of decision addressing all of the causes of action and defenses and resolved those matters against SFPP, consistent with the jury’s verdict. If the tentative statement of decision and jury verdict become final and are affirmed on appeal, SFPP will be required to pay a judgment of $42.65 million. SFPP is continuing to evaluate its post-trial and appellate options.
 
Since SFPP does not know UPRR’s plans for projects or other activities that would cause pipeline relocations, it is difficult to quantify the effects of the outcome of these cases on SFPP. Even if SFPP is successful in advancing its positions, significant relocations for which SFPP must nonetheless bear the expense (i.e., for railroad purposes, with the standards in the federal Pipeline Safety Act applying) could have an adverse effect on KMP’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, distributions to its limited partners, and our dividends to our shareholders. These effects could be even greater in the event SFPP is unsuccessful in one or more of these litigations.
 
Severstal Sparrows Point Crane Collapse
 
On June 4, 2008, a bridge crane owned by Severstal and located in Sparrows Point, Maryland collapsed while being operated by our subsidiary Kinder Morgan Bulk Terminals, Inc. (KMBT). According to KMP’s investigation, the collapse was caused by unexpected, sudden and extreme winds. On June 24, 2009, Severstal filed suit against KMBT in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Case No. 09CV1668-WMN. Severstal and its successor in interest, RG Steel, allege that KMBT was contractually obligated to replace the collapsed crane and that its employees were negligent in failing to properly secure the crane prior to the collapse. RG Steel seeks to recover in excess of $30 million for the alleged value of the crane and lost profits. KMBT denies each of RG Steel’s allegations. A bench trial occurred in November 2013. On March 6, 2014, the Court issued findings of fact and conclusions of law and entered judgment against KMBT in the amount of $13.79 million, which was later amended to $15.55 million by order dated May 6, 2014. KMBT has filed a notice of appeal of the judgment.
 
Plains Gas Solutions, LLC v. Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C. et al

On October 16, 2013, Plains Gas Solutions, LLC (Plains) filed a petition in the 151st Judicial District Court for Harris County, Texas (Case No. 62528) against TGP, Kinetica Partners, LLC and two other Kinetica entities. The suit arises from the sale by TGP of the Cameron System in Louisiana to Kinetica Partners, LLC on September 1, 2013. Plains alleges that defendants breached a straddle agreement requiring that gas on the Cameron System be committed to Plains’ Grand Chenier gas-processing facility, that requisite daily volume reports were not provided, that TGP improperly assigned its obligations under the straddle agreement to Kinetica, and that defendants interfered with Plains’ contracts with producers. The petition alleges damages of at least $100 million. Under the Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement with Kinetica,

Kinetica has agreed to indemnify TGP in connection with the gas commitment and reporting claims. The suit was removed to federal court and Plains has filed a motion to remand. We intend to vigorously defend the suit.

Brinckerhoff v. El Paso Pipeline GP Company, LLC., et al.

In December 2011 (Brinckerhoff I), March 2012, (Brinckerhoff II), May 2013 (Brinckerhoff III) and June 2014 (Brinckerhoff IV), derivative lawsuits were filed in Delaware Chancery Court against El Paso, El Paso Pipeline GP Company, L.L.C., the general partner of EPB, and the directors of the general partner at the time of the relevant transactions. EPB was named in these lawsuits as a “Nominal Defendant.” The lawsuits arise from the March 2010, November 2010, May 2012 and June 2011 drop-down transactions involving EPB’s purchase of SLNG, Elba Express, CPG and interests in SNG and CIG. The lawsuits allege various conflicts of interest and that the consideration paid by EPB was excessive. Brinckerhoff I and II have been consolidated into one proceeding. On June 12, 2014, defendants’ motion for summary judgment was granted in Brinckerhoff I, dismissing the case in its entirety. Defendants’ motion for summary judgment in Brinckerhoff II was granted in part, dismissing certain claims and allowing the matter to go to trial on the remaining claims. A motion to dismiss has been filed in Brinckerhoff III. Defendants continue to believe these lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously.

Allen v. El Paso Pipeline GP Company, L.L.C., et al.

In May 2012, a unitholder of EPB filed a purported class action in Delaware Chancery Court, alleging both derivative and non derivative claims, against EPB, and EPB’s general partner and its board. EPB was named in the lawsuit as both a “Class Defendant” and a “Derivative Nominal Defendant.” The complaint alleges a breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing in connection with the March 2011 sale to EPB of a 25% ownership interest in SNG. On June 20, 2014, defendants’ motion for summary judgment was granted, dismissing the case in its entirety. Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal on July 28, 2014.

Price Reporting Litigation

Beginning in 2003, several lawsuits were filed against El Paso Marketing L.P. (EPM) alleging that EP, EPM and other energy companies conspired to manipulate the price of natural gas by providing false price information to industry trade publications that published gas indices. Several of the cases have been settled or dismissed. The remaining cases, which were pending in Nevada federal court, were dismissed, but the dismissal was reversed by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. A petition for certiorari was granted by the U.S. Supreme Court, and the matter is stayed pending appeal. Although damages in excess of $140 million have been alleged in total against all defendants in one of the remaining lawsuits where a damage number is provided, there remains significant uncertainty regarding the validity of the causes of action, the damages asserted and the level of damages, if any, that may be allocated to us. Therefore, our costs and legal exposure related to the remaining outstanding lawsuits and claims are not currently determinable.

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.

General
 
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 our total reserve for legal matters was $688 million and $624 million, respectively. The reserve primarily relates to various claims from regulatory proceedings arising from KMP’s products pipeline and natural gas pipeline transportation rates.

Slotoroff v. Kinder Morgan, Inc., Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., et al.

On February 5, 2014, a putative class action and derivative complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (Case No. 9318) against defendants KMI, KMGP and nominal defendant KMEP. The suit was filed by Jon Slotoroff, a purported unitholder of KMEP and seeks to assert claims both individually and on behalf of a putative class consisting of all public holders of KMEP units during the period of February 5, 2011 through the date of the filing of the suit. The suit alleges

32

 
Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q


direct and derivative causes of action for breach of the partnership agreement, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, aiding and abetting, and tortious interference. Among other things, the suit alleges that defendants made a bad faith allocation of capital expenditures to expansion capital expenditures rather than maintenance capital expenditures for the alleged purpose of “artificially” inflating KMEP’s distributions and growth rate. The suit seeks disgorgement of any distributions to KMGP, KMI and any related entities, beyond amounts that would have been distributed in accordance with a “good faith” allocation of maintenance capital expenses, together with other unspecified monetary damages including punitive damages and attorney fees. Defendants believe this suit is without merit and intend to defend it vigorously.

Burns et al v. Kinder Morgan, Inc. Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc. et al
On March 27, 2014, a putative class action and derivative complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (Case No. 9479) against defendants KMI, KMGP and nominal defendant KMEP. The suit was filed by Darrell Burns and Terrence Zehrer, purported unitholders of KMEP, and seeks to assert claims both individually and on behalf of a putative class consisting of all public holders of KMEP units during the period of February 5, 2011 through the date of the filing of the suit. The suit asserts claims and allegations substantially similar to the suit filed by Jon Slotoroff described above. On April 8, 2014, the Court ordered that this suit be consolidated for all purposes with the suit filed by Jon Slotoroff described above and that the caption of the consolidated action shall be In Re Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. Derivative Litigation, Consolidated Case No. 9318.
Walker v. Kinder Morgan, Inc., Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc. et al
On March 6, 2014, a putative class action and derivative complaint was filed in the District Court of Harris County, Texas (Case No. 2014-11872 in the 215th Judicial District) against KMI, KMGP, KMR, Richard D. Kinder, Steven J. Kean, Ted A. Gardner, Gary L. Hultquist, Perry M. Waughtal and nominal defendant KMEP. The suit was filed by Kenneth Walker, a purported unit holder of KMEP, and alleges direct and derivative causes of action for alleged violation of duties owed under the partnership agreement, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, “abuse of control” and “gross mismanagement” in connection with the calculation of distributions and allocation of capital expenditures to expansion capital expenditures and maintenance capital expenditures. The suit seeks unspecified money damages, interest, punitive damages, attorney and expert fees, costs and expenses, unspecified equitable relief, and demands a trial by jury. Defendants believe this suit is without merit and intend to defend it vigorously. By agreement of the parties, the case is stayed pending further resolution of the suit filed by Jon Slotoroff described above.
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 federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment. Although we believe our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental law and regulations, risks of additional costs and liabilities are inherent in pipeline, 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, 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, could result in substantial costs and liabilities to us.

We are currently involved in several governmental proceedings involving alleged violations of environmental and safety regulations. As we receive notices of non-compliance, we attempt to negotiate and settle such matters where appropriate. We do not believe that these alleged violations will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or dividends to our shareholders.

We are also currently involved in several governmental proceedings involving groundwater and soil remediation efforts under administrative orders or related state remediation programs. We have established a reserve to address the costs associated with the cleanup.

In addition, we are involved with and have been identified as a potentially responsible party 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, NGL, natural gas and CO2.

Portland Harbor Superfund Site, Willamette River, Portland, Oregon
 
In December 2000, the EPA issued General Notice letters to potentially responsible parties including GATX Terminals Corporation (n/k/a KMLT). At that time, GATX owned two liquids terminals along the lower reach of the Willamette River, an industrialized area known as Portland Harbor. Portland Harbor is listed on the National Priorities List and is designated as a Superfund Site under CERCLA. A group of potentially responsible parties formed what is known as the Lower Willamette Group (LWG), of which KMLT is a non-voting member and pays a minimal fee to be part of the group. The LWG agreed to conduct the remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) leading to the proposed remedy for cleanup of the Portland Harbor site. Once the EPA determines the cleanup remedy from the remedial investigations and feasibility studies conducted during the last decade at the site, it will issue a Record of Decision. Currently, KMLT and 90 other parties are involved in an allocation process to determine each party’s respective share of the cleanup costs. This is a non-judicial allocation process. KMEP is participating in the allocation process on behalf of both KMLT and KMBT. Each entity has two facilities located in Portland Harbor. KMEP expects the allocation process to conclude in 2015. KMEP also expects the LWG to complete the RI/FS process in 2015, after which the EPA is expected to develop a proposed plan leading to a Record of Decision targeted for 2017. It is anticipated that the cleanup activities will begin within one year of the issuance of the Record of Decision.

Roosevelt Irrigation District v. Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. , U.S. District Court, Arizona
 
The Roosevelt Irrigation District sued KMGP, KMEP and others under CERCLA for contamination of the water purveyor’s wells.  The First Amended Complaint sought $175 million in damages against approximately 70 defendants. On August 6, 2013 plaintiffs filed their Second Amended Complaint seeking monetary damages in unspecified amounts and reducing the number of defendants to 26 including KMEP and SFPP. The claims now presented against KMEP and SFPP are related to alleged releases from a specific parcel within the SFPP Phoenix Terminal and the alleged impact of such releases on water wells owned by the plaintiffs and located in the vicinity of the Terminal. On October 24, 2013, we moved to dismiss this suit and the motion remains pending.

Paulsboro, New Jersey Liquids Terminal Consent Judgment

On June 25, 2007, the NJDEP, the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the Administrator of the New Jersey Spill Compensation Fund, referred to collectively as the plaintiffs, filed a complaint in Gloucester County, New Jersey against ExxonMobil and KMLT, formerly known as GATX Terminals Corporation, alleging natural resource damages related to historic contamination at the Paulsboro, New Jersey liquids terminal owned by ExxonMobil from the mid-1950s through November 1989, by GATX Terminals Corporation from 1989 through September 2000, and later owned by Support Terminals and Pacific Atlantic Terminals, LLC. The terminal is now owned by Plains Products, which was also joined as a party to the lawsuit.

In mid-2011, KMLT and Plains Products entered into a settlement agreement and subsequent Consent Judgment with the NJDEP which resolved the state’s alleged natural resource damages claim. The natural resource damage settlement includes a monetary award of $1 million and a series of remediation and restoration activities at the terminal site. KMLT and Plains Products have joint responsibility for this settlement. Simultaneously, KMLT and Plains Products entered into an agreement that settled each party’s relative share of responsibility (50/50) to the NJDEP under the Consent Judgment noted above. The Consent Judgment is now entered with the Court and the settlement is final. According to the agreement, Plains will conduct remediation activities at the site and KMLT will provide oversight and 50% of the costs. We are awaiting approval from the NJDEP in order to begin remediation activities.

Mission Valley Terminal Lawsuit

In August 2007, the City of San Diego, on its own behalf and purporting to act on behalf of the People of the State of California, filed a lawsuit against KMP and several affiliates seeking injunctive relief and unspecified damages allegedly resulting from hydrocarbon and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) impacted soils and groundwater beneath the City’s stadium property in San Diego arising from historic operations at the Mission Valley terminal facility. The case was filed in the Superior Court of California, San Diego County, case number 37-2007-00073033-CU-OR-CTL. On September 26, 2007, KMP removed the case to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California, case number 07CV1883WCAB. The City disclosed in discovery that it is seeking approximately $170 million in damages for alleged lost value/lost profit from the redevelopment of the City’s property and alleged lost use of the water resources underlying the property. Later, in 2010, the City amended its initial disclosures to add claims for restoration of the site as well as a number of other claims that increased its claim for damages to approximately $365 million.

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q


On November 29, 2012, the Court issued a Notice of Tentative Rulings on the parties’ summary adjudication motions.  The Court tentatively granted our partial motions for summary judgment on the City’s claims for water and real estate damages and the State’s claims for violations of California Business and Professions Code § 17200, tentatively denied the City’s motion for summary judgment on its claims of liability for nuisance and trespass, and tentatively granted our cross motion for summary judgment on such claims.  On January 25, 2013, the Court rendered judgment in favor of all defendants on all claims asserted by the City.

On February 20, 2013, the City of San Diego filed a notice of appeal of this case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The appeal is currently pending.

This site has been, and currently is, under the regulatory oversight and order of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).  KMP’s subsidiary, SFPP has completed the soil and groundwater remediation at the City of San Diego’s stadium property site and will continue quarterly sampling and monitoring through 2014 as part of the compliance evaluation required by the RWQCB. SFPP’s remediation effort is now focused on its adjacent Mission Valley Terminal site.

On May 7, 2013, the City of San Diego filed a writ of mandamus to the California Superior Court seeking an order from the Court setting aside the RWQCB’s approval of KMP’s permit request to increase the discharge of water from KMP’s groundwater treatment system to the City of San Diego’s municipal storm sewer system. SFPP and KMP are coordinating with the RWQCB to oppose the City’s writ.

Uranium Mines in Vicinity of Cameron, Arizona

In the 1950s and 1960s, Rare Metals Inc., an historical subsidiary of EPNG, operated 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 potentially responsible party within the meaning of CERCLA. In August 2013, EPNG and the EPA entered into an Administrative Order on Consent and Scope of Work pursuant to which EPNG will conduct a radiological assessment of the surface of the mines. We are also seeking contribution from the applicable federal government agencies toward the cost of environmental activities associated with the mines, given their pervasive control over all aspects of the nuclear weapons program.

PHMSA Inspection of Carteret Terminal, Carteret, New Jersey

On April 4, 2013, the PHMSA, Office of Pipeline Safety issued a Notice of Probable Violation, Proposed Civil Penalty and Proposed Compliance Order (NOPV) arising from an inspection at the KMLT, Carteret, New Jersey location on March 15, 2011, following a release and fire that occurred during maintenance activity on March 14, 2011. On July 17, 2013, KMLT entered into a Consent Agreement and Order with the PHMSA, pursuant to which KMLT paid a penalty of $63,100 and is required to complete ongoing pipeline integrity testing and other corrective measures by May 2015.

Lower Passaic River Study Area of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site, Essex, Hudson, Bergen and Passaic Counties, New Jersey

EPEC Polymers, Inc. (EPEC Polymers) and EPEC Oil Company Liquidating Trust (EPEC Oil Trust), former El Paso entities now owned by KMI, are involved in an administrative action under CERCLA known as the Lower Passaic River Study Area Superfund Site (Site) concerning the lower 17-mile stretch of the Passaic River. It has been alleged that EPEC Polymers and EPEC Oil Trust may be potentially responsible parties under CERCLA based on prior ownership and/or operation of properties located along the relevant section of the Passaic River. EPEC Polymers and EPEC Oil Trust entered into two Administrative Orders on Consent (AOCs) which obligate them to investigate and characterize contamination at the Site. They are also part of a joint defense group of approximately 70 cooperating parties (CPG) which have entered into AOCs and are directing and funding the work required by the EPA. Under the first AOC, a remedial investigation and feasibility study of the Site is presently estimated to be completed by 2015. Under the second AOC, the CPG members are conducting a CERCLA removal action at the Passaic River Mile 10.9, including the dredging of sediment in mud flats at this location of the river to a depth of two feet and installation of a cap. The dredging was completed in 2013 and capping work is ongoing. We have established a reserve for the anticipated cost of compliance with the AOCs.

On April 11, 2014, the EPA announced the issuance of its Focused Feasibility Study (FFS) for the lower eight miles of the Passaic River Study Area, and its proposed plan for remedial alternatives to address the dioxin sediment contamination from

35

 
Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q


the mouth of Newark Bay to River Mile 8.3. The EPA estimates the cost for the alternatives will range from $365 million to $3.2 billion . The EPA’s preferred alternative would involve dredging the river bank-to-bank and installing an engineered cap at an estimated cost of $1.7 billion . In its FFS, the EPA stated that it has identified over 100 industrial facilities as potentially responsible parties and it is likely that there are hundreds more private and public entities that could be named in any litigation concerning responsibility for the Site contamination.

No final remedy for this portion of the Site will be selected until the public comment and response period for the FFS is completed and the Record of Decision (ROD) is issued by EPA, which is expected in early 2015. Until the ROD is issued there is uncertainty about what remedy will be implemented and the extent of potential costs. There is also uncertainty as to the impact of the RI/FS that the CPG is currently preparing for portions of the Site. Therefore, the scope of potential EPA claims for the lower eight miles of the Passaic River is not reasonably estimable at this time.

Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Litigation

On July 24, 2013, the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority - East (SLFPA) filed a petition for damages and injunctive relief in state district court for Orleans Parish, Louisiana (Case No. 13-6911) against TGP, SNG and approximately 100 other energy companies, alleging that defendants’ drilling, dredging, pipeline and industrial operations since the 1930’s have caused direct land loss and increased erosion and submergence resulting in alleged increased storm surge risk, increased flood protection costs and unspecified damages to the plaintiff. The SLFPA asserts claims for negligence, strict liability, public nuisance, private nuisance, and breach of contract. Among other relief, the petition seeks unspecified monetary damages, attorney fees, interest, and injunctive relief in the form of abatement and restoration of the alleged coastal land loss including but not limited to backfilling and re-vegetation of canals, wetlands and reef creation, land bridge construction, hydrologic restoration, shoreline protection, structural protection, and bank stabilization. On August 13, 2013, the suit was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. On September 10, 2013, the SLFPA filed a motion to remand the case to the state district court for Orleans Parish. The Court denied the remand motion on June 27, 2014. Louisiana Act 544 went into effect on June 6, 2014 and specified the political entities authorized to institute litigation for environmental damage in the coastal zone. Under the Act, which was specifically made retroactive, the SLFPA is not a valid plaintiff. Defendants intend to move to dismiss the suit under the Act among other grounds.

Plaquemines Parish Louisiana Coastal Zone Litigation

On November 8, 2013, the Parish of Plaquemines, Louisiana filed a petition for damages in the state district court for Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana (Docket No. 60-999) against TGP and 17 other energy companies, alleging that defendants’ oil and gas exploration, production and transportation operations in the Bastian Bay, Buras, Empire and Fort Jackson oil and gas fields of Plaquemines Parish caused substantial damage to the coastal waters and nearby lands (Coastal Zone) within the Parish, including the erosion of marshes and the discharge of oil waste and other pollutants which detrimentally affected the quality of state waters and plant and animal life, in violation of the State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act of 1978 (Coastal Zone Management Act). As a result of such alleged violations of the Coastal Zone Management Act, Plaquemines Parish seeks, among other relief, unspecified monetary relief, attorney fees, interest, and payment of costs necessary to restore the allegedly affected Coastal Zone to its original condition, including costs to clear, vegetate and detoxify the Coastal Zone. On December 18, 2013, defendants removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. On January 14, 2014, the plaintiff filed a motion to remand the case to state court and such motion remains pending.

Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Notice of Alleged Violations

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) has notified TGP of alleged violations of certain conditions to the construction permits issued to TGP for the construction of TGP’s 300 Line Project in 2011. The alleged violations arise from field inspections performed during construction by county conservation districts, as delegates of the PADEP, and generally involve the alleged failure by TGP to implement and maintain best practices to achieve sufficient erosion and sediment controls, stabilization of the right of way, and prevention of potential discharge of sediment into the waters of the commonwealth during construction and before placing the line into service. To resolve such alleged violations, the PADEP initially proposed a collective penalty of approximately $1.5 million. TGP and the PADEP are seeking to reach a mutually agreeable resolution of the alleged notices of violations, including an agreed penalty amount.

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, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have accrued

36

 
Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q


a total reserve for environmental liabilities in the amount of $353 million and $378 million, respectively, of which $190 million and $208 million, respectively, are associated with KMI (excluding KMP and EPB) and primarily relate to legacy sites acquired in the May 25, 2012 EP acquisition. In addition, as of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have recorded a receivable of $14 million for expected cost recoveries that have been deemed probable.

Other Contingencies

In conjunction with KMP’s acquisition of certain natural gas pipelines from us, we agreed to indemnify KMP with respect to approximately $5.9 billion of its debt. This includes $5.2 billion associated with KMP’s March 2013 and August 2012 purchases of natural gas assets from us. In conjunction with our EP acquisition and the May 2014 drop-down transaction to EPB (see Note 2), we have agreed to indemnify EPB with respect to $2.1 billion of its debt. We would be obligated to perform under these indemnities only if KMP’s or EPB’s assets, as applicable, were unable to satisfy its obligations.

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Accounting Standards Updates - Adopted

None of the Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) that we adopted and that became effective January 1, 2014 (including ASU No. 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)) had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. More information about this ASU can be found in Note 17 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to our consolidated financial statements that were included in our 2013 Form 10-K.

ASU No. 2014-09

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This ASU is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 include a five-step process by which entities will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the payment to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also will require enhanced disclosures, provide more comprehensive guidance for transactions such as service revenue and contract modifications, and enhance guidance for multiple-element arrangements. ASU No. 2014-09 will be effective for U.S. public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods (January 1, 2017 for us). Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently reviewing the effect of ASU No. 2014-09 on our revenue recognition.

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 (i) our accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related notes (included elsewhere in this report); (ii) our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2013 Form 10-K; and (iii) our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our 2013 Form 10-K.

We prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Accounting standards require information in financial statements about the risks and uncertainties inherent in significant estimates, and the application of GAAP involves the exercise of varying degrees of judgment.  Certain amounts included in or

38

 
Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q


affecting our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures must be estimated, requiring us to make certain assumptions with respect to values or conditions that cannot be known with certainty at the time our financial statements are prepared.  These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts we report for our assets and liabilities, our revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements.  We routinely evaluate these estimates, utilizing historical experience, consultation with experts and other methods we consider reasonable in the particular circumstances.  Nevertheless, actual results may differ significantly from our estimates, and any effects on our business, financial position or results of operations resulting from revisions to these estimates are recorded in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.
 
Furthermore, with regard to goodwill impairment testing, we review our goodwill for impairment annually, and we evaluated our goodwill for impairment on May 31, 2014. Our goodwill impairment analysis performed as of that date did not result in an impairment charge nor did our analysis reflect any reporting units at risk, and subsequent to that date, no event has occurred indicating that the implied fair value of each of our reporting units is less than the carrying value of its net assets.
Further information about us and information regarding our accounting policies and estimates that we consider to be “critical” can be found in Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

Non-GAAP Measures

The non-GAAP, financial measures of (i) cash available to pay dividends, both in the aggregate and per share, and (ii) segment EBDA and certain items are presented below under “—Cash Available to Pay Dividends” and “—Consolidated Earnings Results,” respectively. Certain items are items that are required by GAAP to be reflected in net income, but typically either do not have a cash impact, or by their nature are separately identifiable from our normal business operations and, in our view, are likely to occur only sporadically.

We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to cash available to pay dividends is income from continuing operations. A reconciliation of cash available to pay dividends to income from continuing operations is provided below under “—Reconciliation of Cash Available to Pay Dividends to Income from Continuing Operation.” Our non-GAAP measures below should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income, operating income or any other GAAP measure. Cash available to pay dividends and segment EBDA and certain items are not financial measures in accordance with GAAP and have important limitations as analytical tools. You should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our computation of cash available to pay dividends and segment EBDA and certain items may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Management compensates for the limitations of these non-GAAP measures by reviewing our comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and taking this information into account in its analysis and its decision making processes.

Cash Available to Pay Dividends

Our board of directors has adopted the dividend policy set forth in our shareholders’ agreement, which provides that, subject to applicable law, we will pay quarterly cash dividends on all classes of our capital stock equal to the cash we receive from our subsidiaries and other sources less any cash disbursements and reserves established by a majority vote of our board of directors, including for general and administrative expenses, interest and cash taxes. See a further discussion on KMI dividends below under “—Financial Condition— Cash Flows— KMI Dividends.” The calculation of our cash available to pay dividends, and a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to income from continuing operations, for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013 are as follows:

Consolidated Earnings Results

With regard to our reportable business segments, we consider segment earnings before all DD&A expenses, and amortization of excess cost of equity investments to be an important measure of our success in maximizing returns to our shareholders. This measure, sometimes referred to in this report as segment EBDA, is more fully defined in footnote (a) to the “—Results of Operations” table below. We also use segment EBDA internally as a measure of profit and loss used for evaluating segment performance and for deciding how to allocate resources to our six reportable business segments. EBDA may not be comparable to measures used by other companies. Additionally, EBDA should be considered in conjunction with net income and other performance measures such as operating income, income from continuing operations or operating cash flows.

before unallocable income taxes by $40 million in the second quarter of 2014 and increase total income from continuing operations before unallocable income taxes by $361 million in the second quarter of 2013). After taking into effect these certain items, the remaining $72 million (11%) quarter-to-quarter increase in income from continuing operations before unallocable income taxes was largely driven by better performance in the second quarter of 2014 from the Natural Gas Pipelines, Terminals–KMP, Products Pipelines–KMP and CO2–KMP business segments.

For the comparable six month periods, the certain items described in footnotes (e), (f) and (g) to the tables above accounted for a $562 million decrease in income from continuing operations before unallocable income taxes in the first half of 2014, when compared to the first half of 2013 (combining to decrease total income from continuing operations before unallocable income taxes by $65 million in the first half of 2014 and increase total income from continuing operations before unallocable income taxes by $497 million in the first half of 2013). After taking into effect these certain items, the remaining $180 million (13%) period-to-period increase in income from continuing operations before unallocable income taxes was largely driven by better performance in the first six months of 2014 from the Natural Gas Pipelines, Terminals–KMP, CO2–KMP and Products Pipelines–KMP business segments.

(a)
Equity investment until May 1, 2013.  On that date, as part of KMP’s Copano acquisition, it acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest that it did not already own. Prior to that date, KMP recorded earnings under the equity method of accounting, but it received distributions in amounts essentially equal to equity earnings plus its share of depreciation and amortization expenses less its share of sustaining capital expenditures.

The primary increases and decreases in our Natural Gas Pipelines business segment’s EBDA in the comparable three
and six month periods of 2014 and 2013 included the following:
increases of $41 million (22%) and $76 million (19%), respectively, from TGP primarily due to higher revenues
from (i) firm transportation and storage due largely to new projects placed in service in the latter part of 2013 and new southbound capacity contracts; (ii) usage and interruptible transportation services due to both weather-related increases

46

 
Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q


and higher short-haul volumes; and (iii) natural gas park and loan customer services, due also primarily to colder winter weather relative to the first half of 2013;
incremental earnings of $31 million and $111 million, respectively, from KMP’s Copano operations which it acquired
effective May 1, 2013 (but excluding Copano’s 50% ownership interest in Eagle Ford, which is included below with
the 50% ownership interest we previously owned);
increases of $7 million (31%) and $10 million (28%), respectively, from Citrus assets, due largely to reduction of property tax expenses;
incremental earnings of $6 million and $30 million, respectively, from KMP’s total (100%) Eagle Ford natural gas
gathering operations, due mainly to the incremental 50% ownership interest it acquired as part of its acquisition of
Copano effective May 1, 2013, and to higher natural gas gathering volumes from the Eagle Ford shale formation;
increases of $6 million (228%) and $10 million (187%), respectively, from Ruby, due largely to higher transport revenues and lower interest expense;
increases of $5 million (28%) and $8 million (20%), respectively, from KMP’s EP midstream assets, due largely to higher gathering revenues from increased drilling from both the Altamont gathering system in Utah and the Camino Real gathering system in South Texas;
increases of $2 million (2%) and $6 million (3%), respectively, from EPNG, due largely to higher transport revenues;
• decreases of $8 million (23%) and $14 million (19%), respectively, from Wyoming Interstate Company, primarily due to lower reservation revenue of $8 million and $14 million, respectively, as a result of rate reductions pursuant to its Section 5 rate settlement;
• decreases of $5 million (4%) and $11 million (5%), respectively, from SNG, driven by lower reservation and usage revenues of $7 million and $15 million for the three and six month periods due to rate reductions pursuant to its rate case settlement effective September 1, 2013. Partially offsetting these unfavorable impacts were incremental revenues of $4 million and $10 million for the three and six month periods primarily due to increased park and loan services, additional firm transportation services and expansion revenue related to an expansion that was placed in service in late 2013. In addition, SNG experienced $2 million and $6 million of higher operating expenses for the three and six month periods in 2014 as compared to the same periods in 2013 primarily due to the aforementioned rate case settlement’s impact on our electricity cost recovery and higher property taxes and field operation and maintenance expenses;
decreases of $5 million (29%) and $7 million (25%), respectively, from KMP’s Kinder Morgan treating operations, due largely to reduced activity at SouthTex Treaters (its manufacturing facility); and
a decrease of $1 million (3%) and an increase of $18 million (11%), respectively, from KMP’s Texas intrastate natural
gas pipeline group, due largely to higher maintenance costs in the second quarter of 2014, and for the comparable six month periods, to higher natural gas sales, transportation and storage margins, all driven in part by colder weather in the first quarter of 2014.

We refer to the segment’s two primary businesses as its Oil and Gas Producing Activities and its Source and Transportation Activities and for each of these two primary businesses, following is information related to the increases and decreases in both EBDA and revenues before certain items, in the comparable three and six month periods of 2014 and 2013:

The primary increases and decreases in the CO2–KMP segment’s source and transportation activities in the comparable three and six month periods of 2014 and 2013 included the following:
EBDA increases of $21 million (23%) and $41 million (22%), respectively, driven primarily by higher revenues (described following), somewhat offset by higher labor costs, power costs and property taxes; and
revenue increases of $23 million (22%) and $49 million (24%), respectively, driven primarily by increases of 14% and 16%, respectively, in average CO2 sales prices. The increases in sales prices were due primarily to two factors: (i) a change in the mix of contracts resulting in more CO2 being delivered under higher price contracts; and (ii) heavier weighting of new CO2 contract prices to the price of crude oil. CO2 sales volumes were also higher by 13% and 14%, respectively, when compared to the same two periods in 2013, primarily due to expansion projects at KMP’s Doe Canyon field which went in service in the fourth quarter of 2013.

The primary increases and decreases in the CO2–KMP segment’s oil and gas producing activities, which include the operations associated with the segment’s ownership interests in oil-producing fields and natural gas processing plants, in the comparable three and six month periods of 2014 and 2013 included the following:
EBDA decreases of $12 million (4%) and $6 million (1%), respectively, driven by higher operating expenses as a result of incremental well work over costs at KMP’s recently acquired Goldsmith Landreth unit.  Power costs increased primarily due to increased production at SACROC and higher power prices along with the incremental power required at the Goldsmith Landreth unit. In addition, operating expenses increased due to higher property taxes and severance taxes related to the increases in revenue (described following); and
revenue increases of $11 million (3%) and $49 million (7%), respectively, driven primarily by an increase of 8% for both periods, in crude oil volumes. The increases in sales volumes were due primarily to higher production at the Katz field unit, incremental production from the Goldsmith Landreth unit (acquired effective June 1, 2013), and higher production at the SACROC unit (volumes presented in the results of operations table above). The increases in revenues from productions were offset somewhat in the second quarter by a decrease in weighted average prices of 5%.

The primary increases and decreases in the Products Pipelines–KMP business segment’s EBDA in the comparable three and
six month periods of 2014 and 2013 included the following:
increases of $14 million (699%) and $19 million (289%), respectively, from KMP’s Kinder Morgan Crude Oil &
Condensate Pipeline, due mainly to increases of 199% and 128%, respectively, in higher pipeline throughput volumes as the facility comes closer to capacity;
increases of $13 million (20%) and $10 million (8%), respectively, from KMP’s Pacific operations, due primarily to
higher volumes and margins and higher physical gains;
increases of $9 million (176%) and $12 million (64%), respectively, from KMP’s transmix processing operations, due to
higher volumes and margins at various transmix sales plants;
increases of $3 million (16%) and $5 million (14%), respectively, from KMP’s Southeast terminal operations, driven by
higher butane blending revenues; and
decreases of $9 million (52%) and $14 million (30%), respectively, from KMP’s Cochin Pipeline, primarily due to lower
terminal, storage and petrochemical volumes and associated revenues, as a result of the Cochin Reversal project, which converted the line to northbound condensate service to serve oilsands producers’ needs in western Canada.

The primary increases and decreases in the Terminals -KMP business segment’s EBDA in the comparable three and six month periods of 2014 and 2013 included the following:
increases of $16 million and $29 million, respectively, from acquired assets and businesses, primarily the marine
operations KMP acquired effective January 17, 2014 (the APT acquisition);
increases of $7 million (210%) and $11 million (162%), respectively, from KMP’s Gulf Central terminals, driven by
higher earnings from its approximately 55% owned BOSTCO oil terminal joint venture, which is located on the
Houston Ship Channel and began operations in October 2013;
increases of $6 million (42%) and $13 million (39%), respectively, from KMP’s West region terminals, driven by the
completion of expansion projects since the end of the second quarter of 2013;
increases of $3 million (4%) and $12 million (12%), respectively, from KMP’s Gulf Liquids terminals, due to higher liquids warehousing revenues from KMP’s Pasadena and Galena Park liquids facilities located along the
Houston Ship Channel. The facilities benefited from high gasoline export demand, increased rail services and new
and incremental customer agreements at higher rates, including new tankage from completed expansion projects since the end of the second quarter of 2013; and
increases of $1 million (4%) and $6 million (18%), respectively, from KMP’s Gulf Bulk terminals, driven by higher
volumes in 2014, due in large part to refinery and coker shutdowns in 2013 as a result of turnarounds taken.

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q



The increase of $1 million (1%) for the comparable quarterly periods from Trans Mountain’s earnings was due to minor changes in volumes. The decrease of $3 million (4%) for the comparable six month periods from Trans Mountain’s earnings was driven by an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. Due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar since the end of the second quarter of 2013, KMP translated Canadian denominated income and expense amounts into fewer U.S. dollars in 2014.

Other

Our other segment results are driven by activities from other miscellaneous assets and liabilities purchased in our 2012 EP acquisition that were not allocated to the above segments. There were earnings of $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. There were losses of $5 million and $1 million from this segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. However, these earnings include certain items of $2 million and $12 million which increased earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and a $1 million decrease in earnings and $2 million increase in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The six month 2014 certain items primarily related to foreign operations and non-recurring building expenses. After taking into effect the certain items, the earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the same two periods a year ago were essentially flat.

Certain item footnotes
(a)
Three and six month 2014 amounts include decreases in expense of $9 million and $18 million, respectively, related to pension credit income, as well as net increases in expense of $6 million and $9 million, respectively, for various other certain items. Three and six month 2013 amounts include decreases in expense of $14 million and $29 million, respectively, related to pension credit income, and three month 2013 amount also includes a net increase in other expense of $5 million for various other certain items. 
(b)
The three month amount for 2013 includes certain items of $32 million. The six month amounts for 2014 and 2013 include certain items of $6 million and $37 million, respectively. These increases in expense from certain items are primarily related to severance expense allocated to KMP from us and business acquisition expenses.
(c)
2013 amounts include $1 million in severance expense allocated to EPB from us.
(d)
Three and six month 2014 amounts include (i) $8 million and $10 million, respectively, of amortization of capitalized financing fees which were associated with the EP acquisition; and (ii) $4 million and $10 million, respectively, of interest on margin for marketing contracts.  Three and six month 2013 amounts include (i) $15 million and $18 million, respectively, of amortization of capitalized financing fees which were associated with the EP acquisition; and (ii) $3 million and $7 million, respectively, of interest on margin for marketing contracts.
(e)
The three month amounts for 2014 and 2013 each are decreased by certain items of $2 million associated with debt fair value adjustments recorded in purchase accounting for KMP’s Copano acquisition. The six month amounts for 2014 and 2013 include increases for certain items of $9 million and decreases for certain items of $2 million, respectively. The six month 2014 certain item amount primarily relates to interest expense associated with a certain Pacific operations litigation matter in 2014.
Other footnote
(f) Three and six month 2014 amounts include a net decrease in expense of $6 million and $13 million, respectively; and three and six month 2013 amounts include a net decrease in expense of $5 million and $11 million, respectively, related to intercompany rental charges to KMP and EPB which were offset by intercompany rent expense included in KMP and EPB general and administrative expenses.

Items not attributable to any segment include general and administrative expenses, unallocable interest income and income tax expense, interest expense, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Our general and administrative expenses include such items as unallocated salaries and employee-related expenses, employee benefits, payroll taxes, insurance, office supplies and rentals, unallocated litigation and environmental expenses, and shared corporate services–including accounting, information technology, human resources and legal services. These expenses are generally not controllable by our business segment operating managers and therefore are not included when we measure business segment operating performance. For this reason, we do not specifically allocate our general and administrative expenses to our business segments. As discussed previously, we use segment EBDA internally as a measure of profit and loss to evaluate segment performance, and each of our segment’s EBDA includes all costs directly incurred by that segment.
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the certain items and other item described in footnotes (a) and (f) to the table above accounted for increases of $5 million and $18 million, respectively, in KMI’s general and administrative expenses,

56

 
Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q


when compared to the same two periods a year ago. Excluding these certain items, KMI’s general and administrative expenses for the second quarter and first half of 2014 when compared to the same two periods a year ago were essentially flat.
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the certain items described in footnote (b) to the table above accounted for decreases of $32 million and $31 million, respectively, in KMP’s general and administrative expenses, when compared to the same two periods a year ago. The remaining $1 million (1%) and $19 million (7%) period-to-period increases in expense were largely driven by the acquisition of additional businesses, associated primarily with its acquisition of Copano (effective May 1, 2013). Additional drivers were increased benefits costs and higher segment labor expenses.

In the table above, we report our interest expense as “net,” meaning that we have subtracted unallocated interest income and capitalized interest from our interest expense to arrive at one interest amount. After taking into effect the certain items described in footnote (d) to the table above, KMI’s remaining unallocable interest expense increased $6 million (5%) and $11 million (5%), respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, when compared to the same periods a year ago. The increases were primarily due to the refinancing of short-term KMI credit facility debt with a $1.5 billion long-term debt issuance in November 2013, which had a higher interest rate. This increase was partially offset by (i) a reduction in interest expense related to the EP acquisition term loan as a result of partial prepayments in March 2013 and May 2014 with cash proceeds KMI received from the March 2013 and May 2014 drop-down transactions; (ii) lower rates on the KMI credit facility and EP acquisition term loan as a result of the refinancing of those facilities in May 2014; and (iii) a lower average outstanding balance on the KMI credit facility for the periods in 2014 as compared to the same periods in 2013.

After taking into effect the certain item described in footnote (e) to the table above, KMP’s net interest expense increased $16 million (7%) and $42 million (10%), respectively, in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, when compared to the same periods a year ago. The increases were driven by higher average debt levels.

We, and our subsidiary KMP, swap a portion of 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately 25% and 27%, respectively, of KMI’s and 28% and 29%, respectively, of KMP’s consolidated debt balances (excluding debt fair value adjustments) 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 swap agreements.  For more information about our interest rate swaps, see Note 5 “Risk Management—Interest Rate Risk Management.”
 
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, which represents the allocation of our consolidated net income attributable to all outstanding ownership interests in our consolidated subsidiaries (primarily KMP and EPB) that are not held by us, decreased $291 million (58%) and $341 million (39%), respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared with the same periods a year ago.  The decrease was primarily due to our noncontrolling interest’s portion of (i) KMP’s 2013 $558 million gain from the remeasurement of its previously held 50% equity interest in Eagle Ford to fair value; and (ii) KMP’s 2013 $141 million after-tax gain on the sale of its investments in the Express pipeline system.

Income Taxes

Our tax expense from income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 is approximately $178 million as compared with tax expense of $225 million for the same period of 2013. The $47 million decrease in tax expense was primarily due to (i) the tax impact on significantly higher pretax earnings in 2013 associated with KMI’s investment in KMP (primarily as a result of KMP’s recognition of a $558 million gain on remeasurement to fair value of its previously held 50% interest in the Eagle Ford joint venture in the second quarter of 2013); and (ii) a 2013 decrease in KMI’s share of nondeductible goodwill associated with its investment in KMP (as a result of its change in ownership primarily due to KMP’s acquisition of Copano). These decreases are partially offset by the tax benefit in 2013 of a decrease in the deferred state tax rate as a result of KMP’s acquisition of Copano.

Total tax expense from income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is $378 million and $504 million, respectively. The $126 million decrease in tax expense was primarily due to (i) the tax impact on significantly higher pretax earnings in 2013 associated with KMI’s investment in KMP (primarily as a result of KMP’s recognition of a $558 million gain on remeasurement to fair value of its previously held 50% interest in the Eagle Ford joint venture in the second quarter of 2013); (ii) the tax expense in 2013 as a result of KMP’s sale of its one-third interest in the Express-Platte pipeline; and (iii) a 2013 decrease in KMI’s share of nondeductible goodwill associated with its investment in KMP (as a result of its change in ownership primarily due to KMP’s acquisition of Copano). These decreases were partially offset by the tax benefit in 2013 of a decrease in the deferred state tax rate as a result of the March 2013 drop-down transaction and KMP’s acquisition of Copano.

Financial Condition
 
General
 
As of June 30, 2014, we had a combined $363 million of “Cash and cash equivalents” on our consolidated balance sheet (included elsewhere in this report), a decrease of $235 million (39%) from December 31, 2013. We believe our cash position and remaining borrowing capacity discussed below in “—Short-term Liquidity” and our access to financial resources are adequate to allow us to manage our day-to-day cash requirements and anticipated obligations.
 
We have relied primarily on cash provided from operations to fund our operations as well as our debt interest payments, sustaining capital expenditures, quarterly dividend payments and our subsidiaries’ quarterly distributions.

Expansion capital expenditures, acquisitions and debt principal payments have historically been funded by us and our subsidiaries through (i) additional borrowings (including commercial paper issuances by KMP); (ii) the issuance of additional common stock by us; (iii) issuance of shares by KMR with proceeds used for its purchase of additional KMP i-units; (iv) issuance of common units by KMP or EPB; and (v) in some instances, proceeds from divestitures.

In addition, KMP has funded a portion of its historical expansion capital expenditures and working capital deficits with retained cash, including from i-units owned by KMR in the determination of KMP’s cash distributions per unit, but paying quarterly distributions on i-units in additional i-units rather than cash and from distributable cash flows generated in excess of what KMP distributes to its limited partners and KMGP.
     
Credit Ratings and Capital Market Liquidity

Based on our historical record, we believe that our capital structure will continue to allow us to achieve our business objectives.  We and our subsidiaries, including KMP and EPB, are subject, however, to conditions in the equity and debt markets and there can be no assurance we will be able or willing to access the public or private markets for equity and/or long-term senior notes in the future.  If we were unable or unwilling to access the equity markets, we would be required to either restrict expansion capital expenditures and/or potential future acquisitions or pursue debt financing alternatives, some of which could involve higher costs or negatively affect our or our subsidiaries’ credit ratings.  Furthermore, our subsidiaries’ ability to access the public and private debt markets is affected by their respective credit ratings.
In March 2014, Standard & Poor’s Rating Services upgraded EPB’s corporate credit rating to BBB from BBB- and revised EPB’s and KMI’s outlook from positive to stable. Moody’s Investor Services affirmed EPB’s corporate credit rating of Ba1 and revised its outlook from positive to stable.

Short-term Liquidity
 
As of June 30, 2014, our principal sources of short-term liquidity were (i) KMI’s, KMP’s and EPB’s respective credit facilities (discussed following); (ii) KMP’s $2.7 billion short-term commercial paper program; and (iii) cash from operations.  In May, 2014, KMI’s $1.75 billion secured credit facility due December 2014 was replaced with a $1.75 billion unsecured credit facility due May 2019 (see Note 3 “Debt”). The loan commitments under their facilities can be used to fund borrowings for the respective entity’s general corporate or partnership purposes, and KMP’s facility can also be used as a backup for its commercial paper program.  We provide for liquidity by maintaining a sizable amount of excess borrowing capacity related to our credit facilities and have consistently generated strong cash flow from operations, providing a source of funds of $2,203 million and $1,734 million in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively (the period-to-period increase is discussed below in “Cash Flows—Operating Activities”).

The following represents our primary revolving credit facilities that were available to KMI and its subsidiaries, KMP and EPB, debt outstanding under the credit facilities, including commercial paper borrowings, and available borrowing capacity under the facilities after deducting (i) outstanding letters of credit; (ii) outstanding borrowings under KMI’s and EPB’s credit facilities, and KMP’s commercial paper program (supported by its credit facility); and (iii) a capital contribution commitment to one of KMP’s unconsolidated subsidiaries.

Our combined balance of short-term debt as of June 30, 2014 was $2,623 million, primarily consisting of (i) $1,333 million combined outstanding borrowings under KMI’s $1.75 billion credit facility and KMP’s $2.7 billion commercial paper program; (ii) $500 million in principal amount of KMP’s 5.125% senior notes that mature November 15, 2014; (iii) $300 million in principal amount of KMP’s 5.625% senior notes that mature February 15, 2015; and (iv) $250 million in principal amount of KMI’s 5.15% senior notes that mature March 1, 2015. KMP and EPB intend to refinance its respective current short-term debt through a combination of long-term debt, equity, and/or the issuance of additional commercial paper borrowings (for KMP) or credit facility borrowings. KMI intends to refinance its short-term debt through additional credit facility borrowings or issuing new long-term debt. Our combined balance of short-term debt as of December 31, 2013 was $2,306 million.

We had working capital deficits of $3,120 million and $2,207 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The overall $913 million (41%) unfavorable change from year-end 2013 was primarily due to (i) a net increase in KMI’s credit facility borrowings; (ii) lower cash balances (described above); and (iii) higher “Other current liabilities.” The period-to-period increase in current liabilities was due largely to higher fair values on KMP’s short-term commodity hedging derivative contract liabilities and to KMP’s higher short-term legal and litigation liabilities. The overall increase in our working capital deficit was partially offset by a net decrease in KMP’s commercial paper borrowings and EPB’s current maturities. 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 combined cash and cash equivalent balances as a result of our or our subsidiaries’ debt or equity issuances (discussed below in “—Long-term Financing” and “—Capital Expenditures”).

Long-term Financing
 
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the consolidated balances of long-term debt, including the current portion and the preferred interest in the general partner of KMP, but excluding debt fair value adjustments was $33,838 million and $33,062 million, respectively.  To date, our and our subsidiaries’ debt balances have not adversely affected our operations, our ability to grow or our ability to repay or refinance our indebtedness.

The $875 million cash proceeds from the May 2014 drop-down transaction were used to pay down the EP acquisition debt in the second quarter of 2014 (see Note 2 “Acquisitions and Divestitures—Drop-down of Assets to EPB”).

For additional information about our debt-related transactions in the first six months of 2014, see Note 3 “Debt.”  For information regarding our debt securities, see Note 8 “Debt” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Form 10-K. 

Capital Expenditures

We account for our capital expenditures in accordance with GAAP. Capital expenditures include those that are maintenance/sustaining capital expenditures and those that are capital additions and improvements (which we refer to as expansion, or discretionary capital expenditures). These distinctions are used when determining cash from operations pursuant to the MLP partnership agreements (which is distinct from GAAP cash flows from operating activities). Capital additions and improvements 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 cash from operations. With respect to KMP’s oil and gas

59

 
Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q


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. Thus under the MLP partnership agreements, the distinction between maintenance capital expenditures and capital additions and improvements 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 capital additions and improvements 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 or as capital additions and improvements is made on a project level. The classification of the MLP’s capital expenditures as capital additions and improvements or as maintenance capital expenditures under the MLP partnership agreements is left to the good faith determination of KMGP as KMP’s general partner and El Paso Pipeline GP Company, L.L.C. as EPB’s general partner, which is deemed conclusive.

  Our capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and the amount we expect to spend for the remainder of 2014 to grow and sustain our businesses are as follows:

(a)
Six-month 2014 amount, 2014 Remaining amount, and Total 2014 amount include $25 million, $42 million, and $67 million, respectively, for our proportionate share of sustaining capital expenditures of unconsolidated joint ventures.
(b)
Six-month 2014 amount (i) includes $130 million of discretionary capital expenditures of unconsolidated joint ventures and acquisitions; and (ii) excludes a combined $150 million net change from accrued capital expenditures, contractor retainage and amounts primarily related to contributions from KMP’s noncontrolling interests to fund a portion of certain capital projects.
(c)
2014 Remaining amount includes contributions to certain unconsolidated joint ventures and small acquisitions, net of contributions estimated from unaffiliated joint venture partners for consolidated investments.

We generally fund our sustaining capital expenditures with existing cash or from cash flows from operations, and we initially fund our discretionary capital expenditures through borrowings under our credit facilities (or commercial paper program from KMP) until the amount borrowed is of a sufficient size to cost effectively replace the initial funding with long-term debt, equity (including for KMP, retained cash related to its i-unit distributions to KMR), or both.

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, 2013 in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Cash Flows
 
Operating Activities

The net increase of $469 (27%) million in cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 2014 compared to the respective 2013 period was primarily attributable to:

60

 
Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q



a $269 million increase in cash from overall higher net income after adjusting our period-to-period $339 million decrease in net income for non-cash items primarily consisting of the 2013 gain on the remeasurement of KMP’s previous 50% equity investment in Eagle Ford Gathering; the 2013 gain on sale of KMP’s investments in the Express pipeline system (see the discussion of these investments in Note 2 “Acquisition and Divestitures” to our consolidated financial statements); DD&A; deferred income taxes; and a decrease in transportation rate case and legal liabilities;
a $302 million increase in cash associated with net changes in working capital items and non-current assets and liabilities. The overall increase in cash was driven primarily by higher cash inflows from favorable changes in trade receivables and payables, favorable changes in previously deferred reimbursable costs and expenses, and changes related to commodity hedging activities. These increases in cash were partially offset by lower cash flows from both natural gas storage and pipeline transportation system balancing, and accrued tax liabilities; and
a $96 million decrease in cash from interest rate swap termination payments. In the first half of 2013, in separate transactions, KMP terminated three existing fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements prior to their contractual maturity dates.
Investing Activities
The $1,590 million net decrease in cash in investing activities in the first half of 2014 compared to the respective 2013 period due to higher cash expended was primarily attributable to:
a $707 million decrease in cash due to higher expenditures for the acquisition of assets and investments from unrelated parties. The overall increase was primarily related to the $961 million KMP paid in the first half of 2014 for the APT acquisition, versus the $280 million it paid in the first half of 2013 to acquire the Goldsmith Landreth San Andres oil field unit (both discussed in Note 2 “Acquisitions and Divestitures”);
a combined $491 million decrease in cash due to proceeds received in 2013 from both KMP’s sale of the investments in the Express pipeline system and our sale of BBPP Holding Ltds (both discussed in Note 2 “Acquisitions and Divestitures”); and
a $372 million decrease in cash in the first half of 2014 due to higher capital expenditures, as described above in “—Capital Expenditures.”
Financing Activities
The net increase of $567 million in cash from financing activities in the first half of 2014 compared to the respective 2013 period was primarily attributable to:
a $608 million net increase in cash from overall debt financing activities. The increase was driven by, among other things, a $308 million increase in cash due to a decrease in net repayments on the acquisition debt resulting from the $1,528 million of repayments made in the first half of 2014, of which $650 million was refinanced under a new three-year senior unsecured term loan facility, compared to the $1,186 million of repayments made in the first half of 2013. Further information regarding the acquisition debt is discussed in Note 3 “Debt” to our consolidated financial statements;
a $318 million increase in contributions provided by noncontrolling interests, primarily reflecting the following (i) the $236 million incremental proceeds EPB received from the issuance of its common units to the public in the first half of 2014 versus the respective 2013 period; and (ii) the $128 million incremental proceeds KMP received from the sales of additional KMP common units in the first half of 2014 versus the respective 2013 period. These increases were partially offset by a $42 million decrease in other noncontrolling interests contributions, mainly due to the contributions KMP received from its BOSTCO partners in the first half of 2013;
a $215 million decrease in cash associated with distributions to noncontrolling interests, primarily reflecting the increased distributions to common unit owners by KMP and EPB;
an $81 million decrease in cash due to higher dividend payments; and
a $61 million decrease in cash due to higher repurchases of shares offset partially by lower repurchases of warrants in the first half of 2014.

KMI Dividends 

Our board of directors has adopted the dividend policy set forth in our shareholders’ agreement, which provides that, subject to applicable law, we will pay quarterly cash dividends on all classes of our capital stock equal to the cash we receive from our subsidiaries and other sources less any cash disbursements and reserves established by a majority vote of our board of directors, including for general and administrative expenses, interest and cash taxes. Our board of directors may declare dividends by a majority vote in accordance with our dividend policy pursuant to our bylaws. This policy reflects our judgment

61

 
Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q


that our stockholders would be better served if we distributed to them a substantial portion of our cash. As a result, we may not retain a sufficient amount of cash to fund our operations or to finance unanticipated capital expenditures or growth opportunities, including acquisitions.

We expect to declare dividends of at least $1.72 per share for 2014, an 8% increase over our 2013 declared dividends of $1.60 per share. Growth in 2014 is expected to being driven by continued strong performance at KMP and contributions from EPB.

Our board of directors may amend, revoke or suspend our dividend policy at any time and for any reason. There is nothing in our dividend policy or our governing documents that prohibits us from borrowing to pay dividends. 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, market opportunities, our capital requirements, legal, regulatory and contractual constraints, tax laws and other factors. In particular, distributions received from KMP continue to be the most significant source of our cash available to pay dividends. Our ability to pay and increase dividends to our stockholders is primarily dependent on distributions received from KMP and EPB.

Our dividends are not cumulative. Consequently, if dividends on our common stock are not paid at the intended levels, our common stockholders are not entitled to receive those payments in the future. We pay our dividends after we receive quarterly distributions from KMP and EPB, which are paid within 45 days after the end of each quarter, generally on or about the 15th day of each February, May, August and November. Therefore, our dividend generally will be paid on or about the 16th day of each February, May, August and November. If the day after we receive KMP’s and EPB’s distributions is not a business day, we expect to pay our dividend on the business day immediately following.

At June 30, 2014, we owned, directly, and indirectly in the form of i-units corresponding to the number of shares of KMR we owned, approximately 44 million limited partner units of KMP. These units, which consist of 22 million common units, 5 million Class B units and 17 million i-units, represent approximately 9.6% of the total outstanding limited partner interests of KMP. In addition, we indirectly own all the common equity of the general partner of KMP, which holds an effective 2% combined interest in KMP and its operating partnerships. Together, at June 30, 2014, our limited partner and general partner interests represented approximately 11.4% of KMP’s total equity interests and represented an approximate 50% economic interest in KMP. This difference results from the existence of incentive distribution rights held by KMGP, the general partner of KMP.
 
KMP’s partnership agreement requires that it distribute 100% of “Available Cash,” as defined in its partnership agreement, to its partners within 45 days following the end of each calendar quarter. Our 2013 Form 10-K contains additional information concerning KMP’s partnership distributions, including the definition of “Available Cash,” the manner in which its total distributions are divided between KMGP, as the general partner of KMP, and KMP’s limited partners, and the form of distributions to all of its partners, including its noncontrolling interests. For further information about the partnership distributions KMP declared and paid in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, see Note 4 “Stockholders’ Equity—Noncontrolling Interests—Distributions.”

On July 16, 2014, KMP declared a cash distribution of $1.39 per unit for the second quarter of 2014 compared to the $1.32 per unit distribution KMP declared for the second quarter of 2013.

As a result of certain KMP acquisitions, KMGP, as general partner of KMP, intends to forgo incentive distribution amounts of $133 million in 2014, $139 million in 2015, $116 million in 2016, $105 million in 2017, and annual amounts thereafter decreasing by $5 million per year from the 2017 level.

Although the majority of the cash generated by KMP’s assets is fee based and is not sensitive to commodity prices, the CO2–KMP business segment is exposed to commodity price risk related to the price volatility of crude oil and NGL, and while

KMP hedges the majority of its crude oil production, it does have exposure on its unhedged volumes, the majority of which are NGL volumes. KMP’s 2014 budget assumes an average WTI crude oil price of approximately $96.15 per barrel (with some minor adjustments for timing, quality and location differences) in 2014, and based on the actual prices it has received through the date of this report and the forward price curve for WTI (adjusted for the same factors used in KMP’s 2014 budget), KMP currently expects the average price of WTI crude oil will be approximately $102.71 per barrel in 2014. For 2014, KMP expects that every $1 change in the average WTI crude oil price per barrel will impact the CO2–KMP segment’s cash flows by approximately $7 million on a full year basis (or approximately 0.125% of KMP’s combined business segments’ anticipated EBDA). This sensitivity to the average WTI price is very similar to what KMP experienced in 2013.

EPB

As of June 30, 2014, we owned approximately 93 million limited partner units of EPB, representing approximately 40% of the total equity interests of EPB. In addition, we are the sole owner of the general partner of EPB, which holds an effective 2% interest in EPB, including all of EPB’s incentive distribution rights.

EPB’s partnership agreement requires that it distribute 100% of “Available Cash”, as defined in its partnership agreement, to its partners within 45 days following the end of each calendar quarter. Our 2013 Form 10-K contains additional information concerning EPB’s partnership distributions.

On July 16, 2014, EPB declared a cash distribution of $0.65 per unit for the second quarter of 2014 compared to the $0.63 per unit distribution EPB declared for the second quarter of 2013.

For further information about the partnership distributions EPB declared and paid in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, see Note 4 “Stockholders’ Equity—Noncontrolling Interests—Distributions.”

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
There have been no material changes in market risk exposures that would affect the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented as of December 31, 2013, in Item 7A in our 2013 Form 10-K.  For more information on our risk management activities, see Note 5 “Risk Management” to our consolidated financial statements.  

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
 
As of June 30, 2014, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.  Based upon and as of the date of the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
