Kinder Morgan Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Earnings per share (EPS) up 23% versus Q2 2024; Adjusted EPS up 12%

Added $1.3 Billion to Project Backlog

Placed $750 Million of Projects in Service

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Kinder Morgan, Inc.鈥檚 (NYSE: KMI) board of directors today approved a cash dividend of $0.2925 per share for the second quarter ($1.17 annualized), payable on August 15, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2025. This dividend is a 2% increase over the second quarter of 2024.

KMI is reporting:

• Second quarter net income attributable to KMI of $715 million, up 24% versus $575 million in the second quarter of 2024; and Adjusted Net Income Attributable to KMI of $619 million, 13% higher than the second quarter of 2024.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $1,972 million, up 6% versus the second quarter of 2024.

鈥淲e are truly in an age of American global energy leadership. The United States has been the top global producer of natural gas for 15 consecutive years and the world鈥檚 top exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) since 2023,鈥� said Executive Chairman Richard D. Kinder.

鈥淲ith historic growing natural gas demand forecasts, a positive federal regulatory environment, and highly supportive federal permitting agencies, the future for our company is very bright. We will continue to reap the benefit of a business model structured around long-term take-or-pay, fee-based contracts with credit-worthy customers,鈥� Kinder concluded.

鈥淭丑别 company generated strong second quarter net income attributable to KMI and record Adjusted EBITDA, with increased financial contributions from our Natural Gas Pipelines and Terminals business segments versus the second quarter of 2024, very strong operational performance and project execution,鈥� said Chief Executive Officer Kim Dang.

鈥淲e continued to internally fund high-quality capital projects while generating cash flow from operations of $1.6 billion and $1.0 billion in free cash flow (FCF) after capital expenditures. Our balance sheet remains healthy, as we ended the quarter with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.0 times,鈥� continued Dang.

鈥淎 well-respected energy analyst recently noted that it鈥檚 鈥榮haping up to be an incredible year for U.S. LNG growth, with record levels of feedgas demand and exports.鈥� The longer term looks robust as well, as LNG nameplate capacity is expected to more than double by 2030. We currently have long-term contracts to move almost 8 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas to LNG facilities and, upon completion of projects under construction, that amount is expected to grow to almost 12 Bcf/d by the end of 2028. We are also pursuing a substantial number of additional LNG feedgas opportunities,鈥� said Dang.

鈥淥verall, total demand for natural gas is expected to grow by 20% through 2030, led by LNG exports. We are also actively pursuing well over 5 Bcf/d of opportunities to serve the natural gas power generation sector. Approximately 50% of our backlog is associated with projects supporting power generation. In the markets we serve, we expect nice growth in power demand in the coming years. With 66,000 miles of natural gas pipelines connected to all major basins and demand centers, along with over 700 Bcf of working gas storage capacity, we are confident that we will secure our share of additional natural gas infrastructure projects supporting rising natural gas demand,鈥� said Dang.

鈥淥ur project backlog reflects this strong natural gas demand. At the end of the second quarter of 2025, the backlog stood at $9.3 billion, net of approximately $750 million in projects placed in service. This constitutes a 6% increase compared to $8.8 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2025. Natural gas projects account for approximately 93% of our backlog.

鈥淚n calculating backlog Project EBITDA multiples, we exclude both the capital and EBITDA from our CO₂ enhanced oil recovery projects and our gathering and processing projects, where first-full-year multiples are more favorable but the earnings are more uneven than with our other business segments. We expect the remaining $7.6 billion of projects in the backlog, when realized, to generate an aggregate first-full-year Project EBITDA multiple of approximately 5.6 times,鈥� continued Dang.

鈥淚n contrast to the supportive federal permitting atmosphere, the application of escalating tariffs presents some challenges. However, at this point we do not believe that tariffs will have a significant impact on project economics. On existing projects, we have successfully reduced the potential impact by preordering critical project components, negotiating caps on cost increases, and securing domestic steel and mill capacity for our larger projects, which total two-thirds of our project backlog. For these projects, we currently estimate the impact of tariffs to be roughly one percent of project costs.

鈥淎dditionally, we expect favorable tax benefits due to the recently passed budget reconciliation bill. The reinstatement of bonus depreciation and greater interest expense deductibility will lower our projected cash tax liability beginning in 2025 and we expect meaningful benefits in 2026 and 2027 as we put new projects into operation,鈥� Dang concluded.

2025 Outlook

We currently expect to exceed budget by at least the amount of contributions from the Outrigger Energy II acquisition that closed in the first quarter of 2025. For 2025, KMI budgeted net income attributable to KMI of $2.8 billion, up 8% versus 2024, and Adjusted EPS of $1.27, up 10% from 2024. KMI expects to declare dividends of $1.17 per share for 2025, a 2% increase from the dividends declared for 2024. The company also budgeted 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $8.3 billion, up 4% versus 2024, and to end 2025 with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.8 times. These amounts do not include contributions from the Outrigger acquisition.

The budget assumes average annual prices for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil and Henry Hub natural gas of $68 per barrel and $3.00 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), respectively, consistent with the published forward curve available during the company鈥檚 annual budget process.

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 鈥淣on-GAAP Financial Measures鈥� and the tables accompanying our preliminary financial statements.

Overview of Business Segments

鈥淭丑别 Natural Gas Pipelines business segment鈥檚 improved financial performance in the second quarter of 2025 relative to the second quarter of 2024 was due primarily to continued higher contributions from both our Texas Intrastate system and Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP),鈥� said KMI President Tom Martin.

鈥淣atural gas transport volumes were up 3% compared to the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to LNG deliveries on TGP, as well as new contracts and LNG deliveries on our Texas Intrastate system. Natural gas gathering volumes were down 6% from the second quarter of 2024, across most of our G&P assets, primarily our Haynesville system.

鈥淲hile volumes were up across all commodities handled by the Products Pipelines business segment, contributions from the business segment were down compared to the second quarter of 2024 due to weak commodity prices and the expiration of legacy contracts in advance of our Double H pipeline conversion to natural gas liquids service. Both of these impacts were partially offset by higher transport rates and volumes. Total refined products volumes and crude and condensate volumes were both up 2%, compared to the second quarter of 2024,鈥� Martin said.

鈥�Terminals business segment earnings were up compared to the second quarter of 2024. The increase was led by our Jones Act tanker fleet, which benefited from higher rates and remains fully contracted under term charter agreements. Our liquids terminals benefited from expansion projects placed into service as well as higher rates, primarily at our Houston Ship Channel facilities. While tonnage at our bulk terminals was down slightly due to higher coal tons handled in the prior year period resulting from the Baltimore bridge collapse, earnings from our bulk terminals were essentially flat to the second quarter of 2024,鈥� continued Martin.

鈥�CO₂ business segment earnings, which include Energy Transition Ventures (ETV), were down compared to the second quarter of 2024 due to lower CO₂ and D3 RIN prices, partially offset by higher D3 RIN volumes generated through increased renewable natural gas sales,鈥� said Martin.

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 and amortization of basis differences (previously known as amortization of excess cost of equity investments) related to our joint ventures (EBITDA), and Net Debt.

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

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

The following table summarizes our Certain Items for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

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

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

Adjusted Segment EBDA is calculated by adjusting segment earnings before DD&A, 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鈥� 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鈥檚 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, 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 鈥�Amounts associated with Joint Ventures鈥� 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 鈥淓arnings from equity investments鈥� and 鈥淣oncontrolling interests (NCI),鈥� respectively. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA related to our unconsolidated and consolidated JVs include the same adjustments (DD&A, amortization of basis differences, 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 鈥淎mounts associated with Joint Ventures,鈥� 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.)
