Filing Explained

Three expansion projects are in service; future backlog additions remain contingent on approvals, separating completed capacity from planned capacity.

The July 22 Form 8-K furnishes preliminary second-quarter results and reports that three expansion projects are already in service, moving those projects from planned capital work into operating assets.

The completed projects are the Cumberland pipeline lateral, Hiland Express, and the Gulf Coast Express expansion, together representing approximately $660 million of KMI-share expansion projects placed in service during the quarter.

KMI says its project backlog fell by $500 million from the first quarter to $9.6 billion after these projects entered service, while the board gave contingent approval to almost $400 million of projects not yet in the backlog.

A named approval milestone is FERC action expected by the end of July 2026 on the SSE4 and MSX projects; their expected in-service dates remain subject to permits and approvals.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA of $2,199 million was also a record for the second quarter"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Free cash flow (FCF) financial
"free cash flow (FCF), which is after capital expenditures, of $1 billion"
Free cash flow (FCF) is the cash a company generates from its regular business after paying for necessary investments like equipment, buildings, or repairs—think of it as the money left in your wallet after paying bills and fixing the car. Investors watch FCF because it shows how much real, spendable cash a company has to pay dividends, pay down debt, buy back shares, or fund growth, making it a key measure of financial health and flexibility.
Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA financial
"ended the quarter with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.6 times"
Net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA is a leverage ratio that divides a company’s net debt (total debt minus cash and equivalents) by its adjusted EBITDA, which is the company’s operating cash profit after removing one-time or unusual items. It tells investors how many years of that recurring operating cash flow would be needed to pay off current net debt, like estimating how many paychecks it would take to clear a mortgage, and helps gauge financial risk and borrowing capacity.
Non-GAAP financial measures financial
"This press release includes Adjusted Net Income Attributable to KMI ... all of which are non-GAAP financial measures"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
Project EBITDA multiple financial
"remaining $8.5 billion of projects ... generate an aggregate first-full-year Project EBITDA multiple of approximately 5.6 times"
Net income attributable to KMI $867 million up 21% versus the second quarter of 2025
Adjusted Net Income attributable to KMI $821 million 33% higher than the second quarter of 2025
Adjusted EBITDA $2,199 million up 12% versus the second quarter of 2025
EPS $0.39 up 22% versus the second quarter of 2025
Adjusted EPS $0.37 up 32% versus the second quarter of 2025
Cash flow from operations $1,960 million up from $1,649 million in the second quarter of 2025
Free cash flow $978 million compared with $1,002 million in the second quarter of 2025
Guidance

For 2026, Kinder Morgan budgeted net income attributable to KMI of $3.1 billion, Adjusted EPS of $1.36, declared dividends of $1.19 per share, and Adjusted EBITDA of $8.6 billion, and currently expects Adjusted EBITDA to be more than 5% and Adjusted EPS more than 12% favorable to budget, with year-end Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA of 3.6 times.

KINDER MORGAN REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Achieves Record Second Quarter Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA
Earnings per share (EPS) 22% greater than 2025; Adjusted EPS up 32%

HOUSTON, July 22, 2026 - Kinder Morgan, Inc.’s (NYSE: KMI) board of directors today approved a cash dividend of $0.2975 per share for the second quarter ($1.19 annualized), payable on August 17, 2026, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 3, 2026. This dividend is a 2% increase over the second quarter of 2025.

KMI is reporting:

Second quarter net income attributable to KMI of $867 million, an all-time record high for the second quarter. This was up from $715 million in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted Net Income Attributable to KMI, which excludes Certain Items, was $821 million, 33% higher than the second quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA of $2,199 million was also a record for the second quarter and was up 12% versus the second quarter of 2025.

Earnings per share (EPS) of $0.39, up 22% versus the second quarter of 2025, and Adjusted EPS of $0.37, up 32% versus the second quarter of 2025.

“Our fee-based business model, strategically located network of assets, and portfolio of long-term contracts with financially strong customers continue to support stable and predictable cash flows,” Executive Chairman Richard D. Kinder said.

“At the same time, demand for natural gas infrastructure continues to grow. Increasing LNG exports, rising power demand, and industrial expansion make our existing highly utilized assets more valuable and create significant opportunities for investment across our footprint.

“The company’s stable cash flows provide the financial flexibility to fund virtually all of our project backlog internally, support a growing dividend and maintain a strong balance sheet,” Kinder said. “We expect those projects to generate attractive returns, driving future earnings and cash flow growth while helping meet the nation's growing energy infrastructure needs.”

“Strong financial contributions from our business segments resulted in a record second quarter. The company delivered second quarter 2026 net income attributable to KMI of $867 million, 21% higher than the second quarter of 2025, while Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA were



32% and 12% higher, respectively, than the second quarter of 2025,” Chief Executive Officer Kim Dang said.

Dang continued, “In the second quarter, we continued to internally fund high-quality capital projects while generating cash flow from operations of $2 billion and free cash flow (FCF), which is after capital expenditures, of $1 billion. Our balance sheet remains healthy, as we ended the quarter with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.6 times, at the low end of our targeted range.

“We also achieved very strong results from capital expansion project execution this quarter, placing approximately $660 million (KM-share) in expansion projects into service. These included Tennessee Gas Pipeline’s (TGP) Cumberland Project that will serve a new natural gas-fired power plant in Tennessee; Hiland Express, a conversion of our Double H Pipeline system from crude oil to natural gas liquids service; and the eagerly anticipated Gulf Coast Express pipeline expansion to increase natural gas flows from the Permian Basin to South Texas markets. These revenue-generating expansion projects now join our strong base business, adding to our unparalleled network of pipeline and storage assets.

“As a result of placing those large projects into service, our project backlog at the end of the second quarter of 2026 was $9.6 billion, down $500 million from the first quarter of 2026, although the board today provided contingent approval on almost $400 million in projects that are not yet in the backlog. Natural gas projects account for approximately 92% of our project backlog, and more than 60% of the backlog is associated with projects supporting power generation and local distribution company demand. Even beyond the backlog, we continue to see strong interest from our customers in developing additional natural gas infrastructure.

“In calculating backlog Project EBITDA multiples, we exclude both the capital and EBITDA from our CO2 enhanced oil recovery projects and our gathering and processing projects where first-full-year multiples are more favorable, but the earnings are more uneven than with our other business segments. We expect the remaining $8.5 billion of projects in the backlog, when realized, to generate an aggregate first-full-year Project EBITDA multiple of approximately 5.6 times.”

2026 Outlook

For 2026, KMI budgeted net income attributable to KMI of $3.1 billion, Adjusted EPS of $1.36, declared dividends of $1.19 per share, Adjusted EBITDA of $8.6 billion, and year-end Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA of 3.8 times. Based on results through the second quarter, KMI currently expects to be more than 5% favorable to budget on an Adjusted EBITDA basis and more than 12% favorable to budget on Adjusted EPS for the year. We also expect to end the year with an improved Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA of 3.6 times.

This press release includes Adjusted Net Income Attributable to KMI, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Segment EBDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt, FCF, and Project EBITDA, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. For descriptions of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most comparable measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted



accounting principles, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables accompanying our preliminary financial statements.

Overview of Business Segments

“The Natural Gas Pipelines business segment’s financial performance was up in the second quarter of 2026 relative to the second quarter of 2025, on higher contributions from our Texas Intrastate system and our gathering assets,” KMI President Dax Sanders said.

“Natural gas transport volumes were up 7% compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to LNG deliveries on TGP, increased demand for services on our Texas Intrastate system, and increased exports to Mexico as well as higher power generation demand in Arizona on El Paso Natural Gas Pipeline.

“Natural gas gathering volumes were up 26% from the second quarter of 2025 across our assets, with our KinderHawk system experiencing the largest growth.

“Contributions from the Products Pipelines business segment were up compared to the second quarter of 2025 due primarily to higher commodity prices.

“Total refined products volumes were down 5% compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to temporary West Coast supply disruptions, as well as a higher commodity price environment over the quarter. Crude and condensate volumes were down 16% compared to the second quarter of 2025, largely due to the conversion of our Double H pipeline to natural gas liquids service,” Sanders said.

Terminals business segment earnings were up compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was led by our liquids terminals business, which benefited from higher rates and ancillary fees at our Houston Ship Channel hub facilities as well as favorable commodity pricing. Earnings from our Jones Act tanker fleet, which remains fully contracted under term charter agreements, were also up versus the prior year period on higher average charter rates. Contributions from our bulk terminals business were down despite higher volumes owing to one-time events in the prior year period,” Sanders continued.

CO2 business segment earnings, which include the Energy Transition Ventures group, were up compared to the second quarter of 2025 due primarily to higher commodity prices and volumes. Volumes at SACROC, our largest field, were up 15% compared to the prior year period,” Sanders said.

Other News

Natural Gas Pipelines
On June 26, 2026, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a Final Environmental Impact Statement covering both Southern Natural Gas (SNG) and Elba Express (EEC) Companies’ South System Expansion 4 (SSE4) project and TGP’s



Mississippi Crossing (MSX) project. FERC has previously indicated that it expects to issue orders granting certificates of public convenience and necessity for both projects by the end of July 2026. The approximately $3.5 billion SSE4 project (KM-share, including EEC, approximately $1.8 billion) is designed to increase SNG’s South Main Line capacity by roughly 1.3 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). With the timely receipt of all permits and approvals, KMI expects to place the first phase of SSE4 in service in the fourth quarter of 2028 and the second phase in the fourth quarter of 2029. The approximately $1.7 billion MSX project is expected to be placed in service as early as the second quarter of 2028, subject to the timely receipt of all permits and approvals.

On June 5, 2026, TGP filed an application with the FERC for its South Texas Enhancement Project. The approximately $90 million project is designed to provide incremental firm natural gas transportation to South Texas and Mexico markets and extend existing shippers’ transportation paths to access incremental natural gas supplies. The project includes approximately 1.7 miles of new pipeline, an overpressure protection facility, and a new compressor station. With the timely receipt of all required permits and approvals, TGP expects the project to be placed in service in the second quarter of 2028.

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America LLC (NGPL) is continuing to develop its Amarillo Expansion project to support growing demand in the Texas Panhandle, including additional data center development. The expansion is expected to provide incremental firm transportation capacity of up to approximately 550,000 Dth/d. All of the project’s capacity is fully subscribed under a long-term contract. NGPL is preparing to file an application with the FERC for the approximately $200 million project (KM-share approximately $75 million) in the third quarter of 2026. With the timely receipt of all required permits and approvals, NGPL expects the project to be placed in service in the third quarter of 2028.

On May 26, 2026, TGP placed in service its approximately $235 million Cumberland project, an approximately 32-mile, 30-inch pipeline lateral originating from TGP’s existing 100 Line in Dickson County, Tennessee and terminating at Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) new natural gas-fired power plant in Stewart County, Tennessee. The project provides approximately 245,000 Dth/d of additional natural gas transportation service to support TVA’s commissioning and operation of its new power plant.

On April 29, 2026, KMI placed in service its approximately $165 million Hiland Express Pipeline project, converting the Double H Pipeline system from crude oil to natural gas liquids service and providing Williston Basin producers and midstream companies with pipeline capacity to key market hubs.

On June 23, 2026, the approximately $450 million Gulf Coast Express expansion project (KM-share approximately $160 million) was placed in service. The expansion increases natural gas transportation capacity by approximately 570 million cubic feet per day from the Permian Basin to South Texas markets and brings total system capacity to approximately 2.59 Bcf/d.




Products Pipelines
KMI and Phillips 66 continue to advance the Western Gateway Pipeline project and have started the process of pursuing the necessary permits. As previously noted, the project is subject to the execution of definitive transportation service agreements, joint venture agreements, and respective board approvals. The refined products pipeline system would connect Midwest and Gulf Coast refinery supplies to Phoenix, Arizona, and California markets with connectivity to Las Vegas, Nevada, via KMI’s CALNEV Pipeline.

Terminals
KMI is expanding its industry-leading storage, connectivity, and logistics offering in its Houston Ship Channel refined products hub. The scope of work includes the construction of two dedicated refined products pipelines connecting KMI’s Pasadena Terminal with a nearby major refinery, as well as various intra-terminal piping and tank modifications, including enhanced in-tank blending capabilities for butane and other gasoline components. The approximately $139 million project is supported by a long-term storage and volume commitment with a major national oil company and is expected to be in service in the third quarter of 2027.

KMI is expanding the connectivity and capabilities of its 1.5-million-barrel Kinder Morgan Export Terminal (KMET) on the Houston Ship Channel. The scope of work includes the reconfiguration of two existing bi-directional refined products pipelines between KMET and KMI’s Pasadena Terminal and various piping and tank modifications enhancing the in-tank blending capabilities at KMET. The approximately $30 million project is supported by a long-term storage commitment with a major international trading company and is expected to be in service in the first quarter of 2027.

All expected in-service dates for projects described above assume timely receipt and continued effectiveness of all necessary permits and approvals.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As described in further detail below, our management evaluates our performance primarily using Net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. and Segment earnings before DD&A expenses (EBDA), along with the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stock, in the aggregate and per share, Adjusted Segment EBDA, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc., Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, DD&A expenses (EBITDA), and Net Debt.

Our non-GAAP financial measures described below should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. or other GAAP measures and have important limitations as analytical tools. Our computations of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. You should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Management compensates for the limitations of our consolidated non-GAAP financial measures by reviewing our comparable GAAP measures identified in the descriptions of consolidated non-GAAP measures below, understanding the differences between the measures and taking this information into account in its analysis and its decision-making processes.

Certain Items, as adjustments used to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures, are items that are required by GAAP to be reflected in net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc., but typically (1) do not have a cash impact (for example, unsettled commodity hedges and asset impairments), (2) by their nature are separately identifiable from our normal business operations and in most cases are likely to occur only sporadically (for example, certain legal settlements, enactment of new tax legislation and casualty losses), or (3) align the timing of cash impacts from natural gas inventory hedges with the future associated physical withdrawals from inventory. (See the accompanying Tables 2, 3, 5, and 6.) We also include adjustments related to joint ventures (see “Amounts associated with Joint Ventures” below).

The following table summarizes our Certain Items for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Notes
(1)Includes changes in fair value of unsettled derivatives, of which gains or losses are reflected within non-GAAP financial measures when realized.



(2)Includes natural gas inventory hedges, of which gains or losses are reflected within non-GAAP financial measures when the associated physical gas is withdrawn from inventory.
(3)Represents the income tax provision on Certain Items plus discrete income tax items. Includes the impact of KMI’s income tax provision on Certain Items affecting earnings from equity investments and is separate from the related tax provision recognized at the investees by the joint ventures which are also taxable entities.
(4)Amounts for the periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 include $(1) million and $(2) million for the three-month periods, respectively, and $(1) million for the six-month 2026 period reported within “Earnings from equity investments” on the accompanying Preliminary Consolidated Statement of Income of "Risk management activities."
(5)Amounts for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 includes $(1) and $1 million, respectively, reported within "Interest, net" on the accompanying Preliminary Consolidated Statement of Income of “Risk management activities.”

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI) is calculated by adjusting net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for Certain Items. Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. is used by us, our investors, and other external users of our financial statements as a supplemental measure that provides decision-useful information regarding our period-over-period performance and ability to generate earnings that are core to our ongoing operations. We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. is net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. (See the accompanying Tables 1 and 2.)

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stock is calculated by adjusting Net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc., the most comparable GAAP measure, for Certain Items, and further for net income allocated to participating securities and adjusted net income in excess of distributions for participating securities. We believe Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stock allows for calculation of adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) on the most comparable basis with earnings per share, the most comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EPS. Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stock divided by our weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted EPS applies the same two-class method used in arriving at basic earnings per share. Adjusted EPS is used by us, our investors, and other external users of our financial statements as a per-share supplemental measure that provides decision-useful information regarding our period-over-period performance and ability to generate earnings that are core to our ongoing operations. (See the accompanying Table 2.)

Adjusted Segment EBDA is calculated by adjusting segment earnings before DD&A, general and administrative expenses and corporate charges, interest expense, and income taxes (Segment EBDA) for Certain Items attributable to the segment. Adjusted Segment EBDA is used by management in its analysis of segment performance and management of our business. We believe Adjusted Segment EBDA is a useful performance metric because it provides management, investors, and other external users of our financial statements additional insight into performance trends across our business segments, our segments’ relative contributions to our consolidated performance, and the ability of our segments to generate earnings on an ongoing basis. Adjusted Segment EBDA is also used as a factor in determining compensation under our annual incentive compensation program for our business segment presidents and other business segment employees. We believe it is useful to investors because it is a measure that management uses to allocate resources to our segments and assess each segment’s performance. (See the accompanying Table 3.)




Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for Certain Items and further for DD&A, including the amortization of basis differences related to our joint ventures, income tax expense, and interest. We also include amounts from joint ventures for income taxes and DD&A (see “Amounts associated with Joint Ventures” below). Adjusted EBITDA (on a rolling 12-months basis) is used by management, investors, and other external users, in conjunction with our Net Debt (as described further below), to evaluate our leverage. Management and external users also use Adjusted EBITDA as an important metric to compare the valuations of companies across our industry. Our ratio of Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental performance target for purposes of our annual incentive compensation program. We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. (See the accompanying Tables 2 and 5.)

Amounts associated with Joint Ventures - Certain Items and Adjusted EBITDA reflect amounts from unconsolidated joint ventures (JVs) and consolidated JVs utilizing the same recognition and measurement methods used to record “Earnings from equity investments” and “Noncontrolling interests (NCI),” respectively. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA related to our unconsolidated and consolidated JVs includes the same adjustments (DD&A, including the amortization of basis differences related to joint ventures only, and income tax expense) with respect to the JVs as those included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries; further, we remove the portion of these adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests. (See Tables 2, 5 and 6.) Although these amounts related to our unconsolidated JVs are included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, such inclusion should not be understood to imply that we have control over the operations and resulting revenues, expenses, or cash flows of such unconsolidated JVs.

Net Debt is calculated by subtracting from debt (1) cash and cash equivalents, (2) debt fair value adjustments, and (3) the foreign exchange impact on Euro-denominated bonds for which we have entered into currency swaps to convert that debt to U.S. dollars. Net Debt, on its own and in conjunction with our Adjusted EBITDA (on a rolling 12-months basis) as part of a ratio of Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management, investors, and other external users of our financial information to evaluate our leverage. Our ratio of Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA is also used as a supplemental performance target for purposes of our annual incentive compensation program. We believe the most comparable measure to Net Debt is total debt as reconciled in the notes to the accompanying Preliminary Consolidated Balance Sheets in Table 5.

Project EBITDA is calculated for an individual capital project as earnings before interest expense, taxes, DD&A, and general and administrative expenses attributable to such project, or for JV projects, consistent with the methods described above under “Amounts associated with Joint Ventures,” and in conjunction with capital expenditures for the project, is the basis for our Project EBITDA multiple. Management, investors, and others use Project EBITDA to evaluate our return on investment for capital projects before expenses that are generally not controllable by operating managers in our business segments. We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Project EBITDA is the portion of net income attributable to a capital project. We do not provide the portion of budgeted net income attributable to individual capital projects (the



GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Project EBITDA) due to the impracticality of predicting, on a project-by-project basis through the second full year of operations, certain amounts required by GAAP, such as projected commodity prices, unrealized gains and losses on derivatives marked to market, and potential estimates for certain contingent liabilities associated with the project completion.

FCF is calculated by reducing cash flow from operations for capital expenditures (sustaining and expansion), and FCF after dividends is calculated by further reducing FCF for dividends paid during the period. FCF is used by management, investors, and other external users as an additional leverage metric, and FCF after dividends provides additional insight into cash flow generation. Therefore, we believe FCF is useful to our investors. We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to FCF is cash flow from operations. (See the accompanying Table 6.)
