Kinder Morgan Market Opportunity and Financial Overview
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
KINDER MORGAN
The non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Earnings and distributable cash flow (DCF), both in the aggregate and per share for each; segment earnings before depreciation, depletion,
amortization (DD&A), amortization of excess cost of equity investments and Certain Items (Adjusted Segment EBDA); net income before interest expense, income taxes, DD&A, amortization of
excess cost of equity investments and Certain Items (Adjusted EBITDA); Net Debt; Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA; Project EBITDA; Free Cash Flow (or FCF); and CO2 EOR & Transport FCF
are presented herein.
Our non-GAAP financial measures described further below should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. or other GAAP measures and have
important limitations as analytical tools. Our computations of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. You should not consider these non-
GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Management compensates for the limitations of these non-GAAP financial
measures by reviewing our comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and taking this information into account in its analysis and its decision-making
processes.
We do not provide (i) budgeted revenue (the GAAP financial measure closest to net revenue) due to impracticality of predicting certain items required by GAAP, including projected commodity
prices at the multiple purchase and sale points across certain intrastate pipeline systems. Instead, we are able to project the net revenue received for transportation services based on
contractual agreements and historical operational experience; (ii) budgeted CO2 EOR & Transport Segment EBDA (the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to 2023 budgeted CO2
EOR & Transport FCF) due to the inherent difficulty and impracticability of predicting certain amounts required by GAAP, such as potential changes in estimates for certain contingent liabilities
and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives marked to market; or (iii) 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.
Certain Items, as adjustments used to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures, are items that are required by GAAP to be reflected in net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc., but
typically either (i) do not have a cash impact (for example, unsettled commodity hedges and asset impairments), or (ii) by their nature are separately identifiable from our normal business
operations and in our view are likely to occur only sporadically (for example, certain legal settlements, enactment of new tax legislation and casualty losses). We also include adjustments related
to joint ventures (see "Amounts from Joint Ventures" below).
Adjusted Earnings is calculated by adjusting net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for Certain Items. Adjusted Earnings is used by us and certain external users of our financial
statements to assess the earnings of our business excluding Certain Items as another reflection of our ability to generate earnings. We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to
Adjusted Earnings is net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. Adjusted Earnings per share uses Adjusted Earnings and applies the same two-class method used in arriving at basic
earnings per share.
Distributable Cash Flow is calculated by adjusting net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for Certain Items (or Adjusted Earnings, as defined above), and further by DD&A and
amortization of excess cost of equity investments, income tax expense, cash taxes, sustaining capital expenditures and other items. We also include amounts from joint ventures for income
taxes, DD&A and sustaining capital expenditures (see “Amounts from Joint Ventures" below). DCF is a significant performance measure useful to management and external users of our
financial statements in evaluating our performance and in measuring and estimating the ability of our assets to generate cash earnings after servicing our debt, paying cash taxes and expending
sustaining capital, that could be used for discretionary purposes such as dividends, stock repurchases, retirement of debt, or expansion capital expenditures. DCF should not be used as an
alternative to net cash provided by operating activities computed under GAAP. We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to DCF is net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc.
DCF per share is DCF divided by average outstanding shares, including restricted stock awards that participate in dividends.
