KMR is a Delaware limited liability company.  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

We have prepared our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements under the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules and regulations conform to the accounting principles contained in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. Under such rules and regulations, 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (2012 Form 10-K).

Our accounting records are maintained in United States dollars, and all references to dollars are United States dollars, except where stated otherwise.  Canadian dollars are designated as C$.  Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries as well as 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.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 11, “—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.

KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines Disposal Group - Discontinued Operations

Effective November 1, 2012, we sold KMP’s (i) Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas Transmission natural gas pipeline system; (ii) Trailblazer natural gas pipeline system; (iii) Casper and Douglas natural gas processing operations; and (iv) 50% equity investment in the Rockies Express natural gas pipeline system to Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP (now known as Tallgrass Development, LP) (Tallgrass) for approximately $1.8 billion in cash (before selling costs), or $3.3 billion including KMP’s share of joint venture debt. In this report, we refer to this combined group of assets as KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group. For more information about the presentation of KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group as discontinued operations, see Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Basis of Presentation” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 Form 10-K.

Goodwill

We evaluate goodwill for impairment on May 31 of each year.  For this purpose, we have seven reporting units as follows: (i) Products Pipelines—KMP (excluding associated terminals); (ii) Products Pipelines Terminals—KMP (evaluated separately from Products Pipelines—KMP for goodwill purposes); (iii) Natural Gas Pipelines Regulated; (iv) Natural Gas Pipelines Non—Regulated; (v) CO₂—KMP; (vi) Terminals—KMP; and (vii) Kinder Morgan Canada—KMP.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Natural Gas Pipelines Non-Regulated reporting unit was created to include the non-regulated businesses KMP acquired from Copano on May 1, 2013 as well as other non-regulated businesses that were historically part of the former Natural Gas Pipelines reporting unit (now the Natural Gas Pipelines Regulated reporting unit). Goodwill was allocated between these two reporting units based on the relative fair values of the reporting units. There were no impairment charges resulting from our May 31, 2013 impairment testing, and no event indicating an impairment has occurred subsequent to that date.

The fair value of each reporting unit was determined based on a market approach utilizing an average dividend/distribution yield of comparable companies. The value of each reporting unit was determined on a stand-alone basis from the perspective of a market participant and represented the price estimated to be received in a sale of the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Earnings per Share

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, earnings per share was calculated using the two-class method.  Earnings were allocated to Class P shares of common stock and to 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. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the following potential Class P common shares are antidilutive and, accordingly, are excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share; (i) 6 million and 3 million, respectively, related to unvested restricted stock awards; (ii) 400 million and 419 million, respectively, related to outstanding warrants to purchase our Class P shares; and (iii) 10 million for each period, related to convertible trust preferred securities.

The following table sets forth the allocation of net income for Class P shares and for participating securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 (in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2013		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
	Net Income Available to Shareholders
Class P	$	283	$	851
Participating securities(a)	3		4
Net Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc.	$	286	$	855

_______

(a) Participating securities are unvested restricted stock awards issued to management employees that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments.

On December 26, 2012, the remaining series of our Class A, Class B and Class C shares were fully converted and as a result, only our Class P common stock was outstanding as of December 31, 2012.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, earnings per share was calculated using the two-class method.  Earnings were allocated to each class of common stock based on the amount of dividends paid in the current period

13

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

for each class of stock 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.  For the investor retained stock, the allocation of undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings was in direct proportion to the maximum number of Class P shares into which it could convert.

For the Class P diluted earnings per share computations, total net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. was divided by the adjusted weighted-average shares outstanding during the period, including all dilutive potential shares.  This included the Class P shares into which the investor retained stock (collectively, our Class A, Class B and Class C common stocks) was convertible.  The number of Class P shares on a fully-converted basis was the same before and after any conversion of our investor retained stock.  Each time one Class P share was issued upon conversion of investor retained stock, the number of Class P shares went up by one, and the number of Class P shares into which the investor retained stock was convertible went down by one.  Accordingly, there was no difference between Class P basic and diluted earnings per share because the conversion of Class A, Class B, and Class C shares into Class P shares did not impact the number of Class P shares on a fully-converted basis.  Commencing with the acquisition of EP, dilutive potential shares also included the Class P shares issuable in connection with the warrants and the trust preferred securities (see Note 4).  As no securities were convertible into Class A shares, the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for Class A shares were the same. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the following potential Class P common shares were antidilutive and, accordingly, were excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share; (i) 450 million and 457 million, respectively, related to outstanding warrants to purchase our Class P shares; and (ii) 11 million for each period, related to convertible trust preferred securities.

_______

(a) Participating securities included Class B shares, Class C shares, and unvested restricted stock awards issued to non-senior management employees that contained rights to dividend equivalents in the case of the restricted shares.  Our Class B and Class C shares were entitled to participate in our earnings, only to the extent of cash distributions made to them. As a result, no earnings in excess of dividends received were allocated to the Class B and Class C shares in our determination of basic and diluted earnings per share.

(b) The Class A shares earnings per share as compared to the Class P shares earnings per share were reduced due to the sharing of economic benefits (including dividends) amongst the Class A, B, and C shares.  Class A, B and C shares owned by Richard Kinder, the sponsor investors, the original shareholders, and other management were referred to as “investor retained stock,” and were convertible into a fixed number of Class P shares.  In the aggregate, our investor retained stock was entitled to receive a dividend per share on a fully-converted basis equal to the dividend per share on our common stock.  The conversion of shares of investor retained stock into Class P shares did not increase our total fully-converted shares outstanding, impact the aggregate dividends we paid or the dividends we paid per share on our Class P common stock.

(c) For the diluted earnings per share calculation, total net income attributable to each class of common stock was divided by the adjusted weighted-average shares outstanding during the period, including all dilutive potential shares.

2.  Acquisitions and Divestitures

Copano Energy, L.L.C. Acquisition 

Effective May 1, 2013, KMP closed its acquisition of Copano. 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 KMP common unit on the NYSE on the May 1, 2013 issuance date).

KMP accounted for its acquisition of Copano under the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, measured the consideration paid to Copano unitholders, the acquired identifiable tangible and intangible assets, and the assumed liabilities at their acquisition-date fair values. Also, due to the fact that KMP’s acquisition included the remaining 50% interest in Eagle Ford that it did not already own, KMP remeasured its existing 50% equity investment in Eagle Ford to its fair value as of the acquisition date, resulting in the recognition of a $558 million pre-tax non-cash gain reported separately within “Other Income (Expense)” on our accompanying consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, KMP’s preliminary purchase price allocation related to the Copano acquisition, as adjusted to date, is as follows (in millions). KMP’s evaluation of the assigned fair values is ongoing and subject to adjustment:

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation:
Current assets (including cash acquired of $30)	$	218
Property, plant and equipment	2,805
Investments	387
Goodwill	1,119
Other intangibles, net	1,375
Other assets	13
Total assets	5,917
Less: Fair value of previously held 50% interest in Eagle Ford	(704		)
Total assets acquired	5,213
Current liabilities	(207		)
Other liabilities	(4		)
Long-term debt	(1,252		)
Noncontrolling interests	(17		)
KMP’s common unit consideration	$	3,733

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. KMP believes the primary items that generated the goodwill are the value of the synergies created by expanding its 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, which are currently being amortized over an estimated remaining useful life of 25 years.

Copano provides comprehensive services to natural gas producers, including natural gas gathering, processing, treating and NGL fractionation.  Copano owns an interest in or operates approximately 6,900 miles of pipelines with 2.7 Bcf/d of natural gas transportation capacity, and also owns nine natural gas processing plants with more than 1 Bcf/d of natural gas processing capacity and 315 MMcf/d of natural gas treating capacity.  Its operations are located primarily in Texas, Oklahoma and Wyoming.  Most of the acquired assets are included in the Natural Gas Pipelines business segment.

Impact of KMP’s Acquisition of Copano on KMI’s Income Taxes

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 adjusted by $255 million for the portion of its outside basis difference associated with KMP’s underlying goodwill.

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

KMI Acquisition of EP

Effective on May 25, 2012, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of EP for an aggregate consideration of approximately $23 billion (excluding assumed debt). In total, EP shareholders received $11.6 billion in cash, 330 million KMI Class P shares with a fair value of $10.6 billion as of May 24, 2012 and 505 million KMI warrants with a fair value of $863 million as of May 24, 2012. The warrants have an exercise price of $40 per share and a 5-year term.

We accounted for the EP acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at their acquisition date fair values. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, management completed its purchase accounting valuation estimates and, as a result, retrospectively adjusted the valuations of certain liabilities with a corresponding increase to goodwill as of the acquisition date. The retrospective adjustments amounted to approximately $60 million and primarily related to revisions of estimates related to certain environmental obligations, sales and use tax liabilities, and deferred income taxes.

Goldsmith Landreth Unit

On June 1, 2013, KMP acquired certain oil and gas properties, rights, and related assets in the Permian Basin of West Texas from Legado Resources LLC for approximately $285 million (before working capital adjustments). KMP also assumed $18 million of liabilities. The acquisition of the Goldsmith Landreth San Andres oil field unit includes more than 6,000 acres located in Ector County, Texas, and based on KMP’s measurement of fair values for all of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, KMP assigned the $285 million amount to “Property, plant and equipment, net.” The acquired oil field is in the early stages of CO₂ flood development and includes a residual oil zone along with a classic San Andres waterflood. The field currently produces approximately 1,250 barrels of oil per day, and as part of the transaction, KMP obtained a long-term supply contract for up to 150 MMcf/d of CO₂. The acquisition complements KMP’s existing oil and gas producing assets in the Permian Basin, and the acquired assets are included as part of the CO₂—KMP business segment.

Pro Forma Information

The following summarized unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement information for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012, assumes that the EP, Copano and the Goldsmith Landreth Unit acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2012. We prepared the following summarized unaudited pro forma financial results for comparative purposes only. The summarized unaudited pro forma financial results may not be indicative of the results that would have occurred if these acquisitions had been completed as of January 1, 2012 or the results that will be attained in the future.

KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines Disposal Group – Discontinued Operations

We began accounting for KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2012 (prior to our sale announcement, we included the disposal group in the Natural Gas Pipelines business segment).  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a combined $934 million non-cash loss from both the remeasurement of the disposal group to fair value and from estimated costs to sell, and we reported this loss amount separately as “Loss on sale and the remeasurement of KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group to fair value, net of tax” within the discontinued operations section of our accompanying consolidated statement of income.

KMP and Tallgrass trued up the final consideration for the sale of our FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group in the first quarter of 2013, and based on this true up, we recognized an additional $2 million loss. We reported this loss amount separately as “Loss on sale and the remeasurement of KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group to fair value, net of tax” within the discontinued operations section of our accompanying consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and except for this loss amount, no other financial results from the operations of KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group were recorded in the first nine months of 2013.

Summarized financial information for KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group is as follows (in millions):

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 both a final working capital settlement and certain transaction related selling expenses in the current quarter), and we reported the net cash proceeds received from the sale separately as “Proceeds from sale of investments in Express pipeline system” within the investing section of our accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized a combined $224 million pre-tax gain with respect to this sale, and we reported this gain amount separately as “(Loss) gain on the sale of investments in Express pipeline system” on our accompanying consolidated statement of income. We also recorded an income tax expense of $84 million related to this nine month gain, and we included this expense within “Income Tax Expense” in our accompanying consolidated statement of income.

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. Prior to KMP’s sale, we (i) accounted for KMP’s equity investment under the equity method of accounting; (ii) accounted for KMP’s debt investment under the historical amortized cost method of accounting; and (iii) included the financial results of the Express pipeline system within the Kinder Morgan Canada—KMP business segment.  As of December 31, 2012, KMP’s equity and debt investments in Express totaled $65 million and $114 million, respectively, and we included the combined $179 million amount within “Assets held for sale” on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

TGP’s Sale of Production Area Facilities

On September 1, 2013, TGP sold certain natural gas facilities located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore in the state of Louisiana for an aggregate consideration of $32 million in cash. TGP’s net assets sold in this transaction (including assets identified as “held for sale”) totaled $88 million, and as a result of the sale, TGP recognized both a $92 million increase in regulatory assets pursuant to a FERC order, and a $36 million gain from the sale of assets. We included the cash proceeds received from the sale in 2013 within “Sale or casualty of property, plant and equipment, investments and other net assets, net of removal costs” within the investing section of our accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months

ended September 30, 2013, and we included the gain amount within “Other Income (Expense)” on our accompanying consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

BBPP Holdings Ltda

As of December 31, 2012, we owned a 2% interest in Gas Transboliviano S.A., and 33 1/3% interest in BBPP Holdings Ltda which we acquired as a part of the May 25, 2012 EP acquisition. BBPP Holdings Ltda owned a 29% interest in Transportadora Brasileira Gasoduto Bolivia-Brasil S.A. which, together with Gas Transboliviano S.A., owned the Bolivia to Brazil Pipeline. On January 18, 2013, we completed the sale of our equity interests in the Bolivia to Brazil Pipeline for $88 million. As of December 31, 2012, our $88 million equity interests in the Bolivia to Brazil Pipeline was included within “Assets held for sale” on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Drop-Down of EP Assets to KMP 

August 2012

Effective August 1, 2012, KMP acquired a 100% ownership interest in TGP and an initial 50% ownership interest in EPNG from us for an aggregate consideration of approximately $6.2 billion (including a proportional share of assumed debt borrowings as of August 1, 2012). For additional information about this acquisition, see Note 3 “Acquisitions and Divestitures—Drop-Down of EP Assets to KMP” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 Form 10-K.

March 2013

Effective March 1, 2013, KMP acquired from us the remaining 50% ownership interest it did not already own in both EPNG and the EP midstream assets for an aggregate consideration of approximately $1.7 billion (including a proportional 50% share of assumed debt borrowings as of March 1, 2013). The consideration that we received from KMP consisted of (i) $994 million in cash (including $6 million in the second quarter of 2013 to settle the final working capital adjustment); (ii) 1,249,452 common units (valued at $108 million based on the $86.72 closing market price of KMP’s common unit on the NYSE on the March 1, 2013 issuance date); and (iii) $557 million in assumed debt (consisting of 50% of the outstanding principal amount of EPNG’s debt borrowings as of March 1, 2013, excluding any debt fair value adjustments). We used the proceeds from the March 1, 2013 drop-down transaction to (i) pay down $947 million of our senior secured term loan facility; and (ii) reduce borrowings under our credit facility. See Note 3 “Debt” for further discussion. The terms of the drop-down transaction were approved on our behalf by the independent members of our board of directors and on KMP’s behalf by the audit committees and the boards of directors of both KMGP, as KMP’s general partner, and KMR, in its capacity as the delegate of KMGP, following the receipt by our independent directors and by the audit committees of KMGP and KMR of separate fairness opinions from different independent financial advisors.

The drop-down transactions were accounted for as transfers of net assets between entities under common control. Specifically, we have retrospectively adjusted our consolidated financial statements to reflect the recognition by KMP of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at our carrying value, including our EP purchase accounting adjustments as of May 25, 2012.  In this report, we refer to these acquisitions of assets by KMP from us as the drop-down transactions; the combined group of assets acquired by KMP from us as the drop-down asset groups; the El Paso Natural Gas pipeline system or El Paso Natural Gas Company, L.L.C. as EPNG; and the EP Midstream assets or Kinder Morgan Altamont LLC (formerly, El Paso Midstream Investment Company, L.L.C.) as the midstream assets.

Income Tax Impact of the Drop-Down of EP Assets to KMP

As discussed above, we accounted for the acquisition of EP as a business combination and for the subsequent March 2013 and August 2012 drop-down transactions as transfers of net assets between entities under common control. For income tax purposes, the March 2013 drop-down transaction was treated as a contribution and the August 2012 drop-down transaction was treated as a partial sale, and a partial contribution.

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 drop-down transactions, a deferred tax liability arose related to the portion of the outside basis difference associated with the underlying goodwill that was contributed to KMP by us. However, since the drop-downs were transactions between entities under common control, we recognized an offsetting deferred charge of $448 million for the August 2012 and $53 million for the March 2013 drop-down transactions. These balances will be amortized to income tax expense over the remaining useful lives of the transferred assets of approximately 25 years Similar to the impact described above, KMP’s acquisition of a 50% ownership interest in the EP

Midstream joint venture, also generated the recognition of a deferred charge and corresponding deferred tax liability and is included in the amount above.

The amortization of the deferred charge will result in incremental income tax expense of approximately $20 million per year. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, total income tax expense related to the amortization of the deferred charges was approximately $5 million and $15 million, respectively.

(a) As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the weighted average interest rates on KMI’s credit facility borrowings were 2.68% and 2.72%, respectively.

(b) In December 2012, our subsidiary, EPC Building, LLC had issued $468 million of 3.967% amortizing promissory notes with payments due 2013 through 2035, of which $217 million was issued to third parties and the remaining $251 million was held by KMI until they were sold to third parties in April of 2013. EPC Building, LLC, as the landlord, leases the property to KMI as a tenant.  Proceeds from the issuance of the notes were used to reduce KMI’s credit facility borrowings.

(c) Excludes debt fair value adjustments. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our “Debt fair value adjustments” increased our debt balances by $2,124 million and $2,591 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—Fair Value of Derivative Contracts.”

(d) On February 28, 2013, KMP completed a public offering of $1 billion in principal amount of senior notes in two separate series, consisting of $600 million of 3.50% notes due September 1, 2023 and $400 million of 5.00% notes due March 1, 2043. KMP received net proceeds of $991 million, and used the proceeds to pay a portion of the purchase price for the March 2013 drop-down transaction and to reduce the borrowings under its commercial paper program. On August 5, 2013, KMP completed a public offering of $1.75 billion in principal amount of senior notes in three separate series, consisting of $800 million of 2.65% notes due February 1, 2019, $650 million of 4.15% notes due February 1, 2024 and $300 million of 5.00% notes due March 1, 2043 (the 5.00% notes issued in August 2013 constitute a further issuance of the $400 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.00% notes that KMP issued in February 2013 and form a single series with these notes). KMP received net proceeds of $1,724 million, and used the proceeds to reduce the borrowings of its commercial paper program and to fund its partial redemption and retirement of Copano’s 7.125% senior notes in September 2013 (see “—KMP’s Copano Debt” below).

(e) In May 2013, in association with the increase of capacity negotiated for KMP’s senior unsecured revolving bank credit facility (see “—Credit Facilities - KMP” below), KMP increased its commercial paper program by $500 million to provide for the issuance of up to $2.7 billion. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the average interest rates on KMP’s outstanding commercial paper borrowings were 0.27% and 0.45%, respectively. The borrowings under KMP’s commercial paper program were used principally to finance the acquisitions and capital expansions made during the first nine months of 2013 and during 2012, 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) Consists of six separate series of fixed-rate unsecured senior notes that KMP assumed as part of the August 2012 drop-down transaction.

(g) Consists of four separate series of fixed-rate unsecured senior notes that KMP assumed as part of the August 2012 and March 2013 drop-down transactions.

(h) Consists of a single series of fixed-rate unsecured senior notes that KMP guaranteed as part of its May 1, 2013 Copano acquisition. The notes mature in full on April 1, 2021, and interest on the notes is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year. For further information about these notes, see “—KMP’s Copano Debt” below.

(i) As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, includes commercial paper borrowings of $174 million and $621 million.

(j) In September 2013, EPPOC repaid $88 million of 8% senior notes.

(k) LIBOR plus 1.75%.

KMP’s Copano Debt

As of the May 1, 2013 Copano acquisition date, KMP assumed the following outstanding Copano debt amounts (i) $404 million of outstanding borrowings under Copano’s revolving credit facility due June 10, 2016; (ii) $249 million aggregate principal amount of Copano’s 7.75% unsecured senior notes due June 1, 2018; and (iii) $510 million aggregate principal amount of Copano’s 7.125% unsecured senior notes due April 1, 2021. Immediately following the acquisition, KMP repaid the outstanding $404 million of borrowings under Copano’s revolving credit facility, and terminated the credit facility at the time of such repayment. On June 1, 2013, KMP paid $259 million (based on a price of 103.875% of the principal amount) to fully redeem and retire the 7.75% series of senior notes in accordance with the terms and conditions of the indenture governing the notes. As part of its May 1, 2013 purchase price allocation, KMP valued the 7.75% senior notes equal to the $259 million redemption value and accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded from this debt retirement. KMP utilized borrowings under its commercial paper program for both of these debt retirements.

On September 4, 2013, KMP paid $191 million to complete the partial redemption and retirement of $178 million (35%) of the total $510 million outstanding principal amount of Copano’s 7.125% senior notes, (excluding a $6 million payment for accrued and unpaid interest on the redeemed notes as of September 4, 2013). As part of its May 1, 2013 purchase price allocation, KMP valued the 7.125% senior notes equal to the $191 million redemption value and accordingly, KMP recorded no gain or loss from this debt retirement. As of September 30, 2013, an aggregate principal amount of $332 million of 7.125% senior notes remained outstanding.

Credit Facilities

KMI

As of September 30, 2013, we had $1,514 million outstanding under KMI’s $1.75 billion senior secured credit facility and $80 million in letters of credit. Our availability under this facility as of September 30, 2013 was approximately $156 million.  

KMP

On May 1, 2013, KMP replaced its previous $2.2 billion, senior unsecured revolving bank credit facility that was due July 1, 2016, with a new $2.7 billionfive-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility expiring May 1, 2018. Borrowings under the credit facility can be used for general partnership purposes and as a backup for KMP’s commercial paper program. KMP had no borrowings under the credit facility as of September 30, 2013. The credit facility’s financial covenants are substantially similar to those in the previous facility, and as of September 30, 2013, KMP was in compliance with all required financial covenants. The new facility provides that the margin KMP will pay with respect to borrowings and the facility fee KMP will pay on the total commitment will vary based on its senior debt credit rating. Interest on the credit facility accrues at KMP’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 KMP’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 0.5%; (ii) the Prime Rate; or (iii) LIBOR for a one-month eurodollar loan, plus 1%); or

▪ LIBOR for a one-month eurodollar loan, plus a margin, which varies depending upon the credit rating of KMP’s long-term senior unsecured debt.

As of September 30, 2013, KMP had approximately $174 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding under its $2.7 billion credit facility and $204 million in letters of credit. KMP’s availability under its facility as of September 30, 2013 was approximately $2,322 million.

EPB

As of September 30, 2013, EPB had no outstanding balance under its revolving credit facility. EPB’s availability under this facility as of September 30, 2013 was approximately $1 billion.

On October 16, 2013, KMP declared a cash distribution of $1.35 per unit for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013. The distribution will be paid on November 14, 2013 to KMP’s unitholders of record as of October 31, 2013.

On October 16, 2013, EPB declared a cash distribution of $0.65 per unit for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013. The distribution will be paid on November 14, 2013 to EPB’s unitholders of record as of October 31, 2013.

5.  Risk Management

Certain of our business activities expose us to risks associated with unfavorable changes in the market price of natural gas, NGLs 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, NGLs and crude oil. None of these derivatives are designated as accounting hedges.

Energy Commodity Price Risk Management

As of September 30, 2013, KMI and KMP had the following outstanding commodity forward contracts to hedge their forecasted energy commodity purchases and sales:

	Net open position long/(short)
Derivatives designated as hedging contracts
Crude oil fixed price	(23.1	)	million barrels
Natural gas fixed price	(35.2	)	billion cubic feet
Natural gas basis	(30.7	)	billion cubic feet
Derivatives not designated as hedging contracts
Crude oil fixed price	0.5		million barrels
Crude oil basis	(1.2	)	million barrels
Natural gas fixed price	0.3		billion cubic feet
Natural gas basis	7.9		billion cubic feet
NGLs fixed price	0.4		million barrels

As of September 30, 2013, 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 2017.

Interest Rate Risk Management

As of September 30, 2013, KMI and KMP had a combined notional principal amount of$725 million and $5,050 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 and KMP’s swap agreements have termination dates that correspond to the maturity dates of the related series of senior notes and, as of September 30, 2013, 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.

In June 2013, KMP terminated three fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements in separate transactions having a combined notional principal amount of $975 million, and received combined proceeds of $96 million from the early termination of these swap agreements. In August 2013, KMP entered into six separate fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements having a combined notional principal amount of $500 million. Four of these agreements effectively convert a portion of the interest expense associated with KMP’s 2.65% senior notes due February 1, 2019 from a fixed rate to a variable rate based on an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread and the remaining two agreements effectively convert a portion of the interest expense associated with KMP’s 4.15% senior notes due February 1, 2024, from a fixed rate to a variable rate based on an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread. As of December 31, 2012, KMI and KMP had a combined notional principal amount of $725 million and $5,525 million, respectively, of fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements.

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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, these fair value adjustments to our debt balances included (i) $1,419 million and $1,470 million, respectively, associated with fair value adjustments to our debt previously recorded in purchase accounting; (ii) $235 million and $664 million, respectively, associated with the offsetting entry for hedged debt; (iii) $533 million and $490 million, respectively, associated with unamortized premium from the termination of interest rate swap agreements; and offset by (iv) $63 million and $33 million, respectively, associated with unamortized debt discount amounts. As of September 30, 2013, 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 $17 million loss associated with energy commodity price risk management activities and included in our accumulated other comprehensive loss and noncontrolling interest balances as of September 30, 2013 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. 

(b) Amounts reclassified were the result of the hedged forecasted transactions actually affecting earnings (i.e., when the forecasted sales and purchases actually occurred).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized losses of $7 million and $10 million, respectively, in income and included these amounts within “Product sales and other” from derivative contracts not designated as accounting hedges. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, such amounts were not significant.

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 (including credit ratings); (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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, KMP had no outstanding letters of credit supporting its hedging of energy commodity price risks associated with the sale of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, KMI had $170 million and $300 million, respectively, 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 the posting of additional collateral upon a decrease in their credit rating.  As of September 30, 2013, we estimate that if KMP’s credit rating

33

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

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 $18 million of incremental collateral. As of September 30, 2013, 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.

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Changes in the components of our “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are summarized as follows (in millions):

Balance as of September 30, 2013	$	(10	)	$	23		$	(110	)	$	(97	)

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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, based on the three levels established by the Codification. The fair value measurements in the tables below do not include cash margin deposits made by us or our counterparties, which are reported within “Other current assets” and “Accrued other current liabilities,” respectively, in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets (in millions).

_______

(a) 2012 purchases include a net liability of $246 million of Level 3 energy commodity derivative contracts associated with the EP acquisition. 2013 purchases include a net asset of $18 million of Level 3 energy commodity derivative contracts assumed in conjunction with KMP’s May 1, 2013 Copano acquisition.

35

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

As of September 30, 2013, our Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities consisted primarily of WTI options, WTI basis swaps, 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 various commodities, modeled market prices, time value, volatility factors and other relevant economic measures. The use of these inputs results in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our power derivative contracts are illiquid pricing points. As the delivery points in our power contracts are in an illiquid market and not actively traded, we adjust the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) forward curves by the difference between the 12-month rolling average of actual settled prices at delivery points in the PJM East region. As of September 30, 2012, the adjusted prices over the contract term ranged from $28.50 per MW/h to $60.93 per MW/h. However, we have entered into offsetting positions that eliminate the price risks associated with our PJM power contracts. Significant increases (decreases) in these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of our outstanding debt balance (both short-term and long-term and including debt fair value adjustments), is disclosed below (in millions):

	September 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Total debt	$	36,011	$	35,939	$	34,401	$	36,720

We used Level 2 input values to measure the estimated fair value of our outstanding debt balances as of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

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 NGLs;

• 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, jet fuel, NGLs, crude and condensate, and bio-fuels;

• Terminals—KMP—the transloading and storing of refined petroleum products and dry and liquid 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 several physical natural gas contracts with power plants associated with EP’s legacy trading activities. These contracts obligate EP to sell natural gas to these plants and have various expiration dates ranging from 2012 to 2028.

We evaluate performance principally based on each segment’s earnings before depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses (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

36

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

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.

Notes Receivable

Plantation Pipe Line Company

KMP and ExxonMobil have a term loan agreement covering a note receivable due from Plantation. KMP owns a 51.17% equity interest in Plantation and their proportionate share of the outstanding principal amount of the note receivable was $49 million as of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The note bears interest at the rate of 4.25% per annum and provides for semiannual payments of principal and interest on December 31 and June 30 each year, with a final principal

payment of $45 million (for KMP’s portion of the note) due on July 20, 2016. We included $1 million of this note receivable balance within “Other current assets,” on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and we included the remaining outstanding balance within “Deferred charges and other assets.”

Gulf LNG Holdings Group, LLC

In conjunction with the acquisition of EP, KMI acquired a long-term note receivable, bearing interest at 12% per annum, that was due from Gulf LNG Holdings Group, LLC, a 50% equity investee, with a remaining principal amount of $85 million. Subsequent to the EP acquisition and through the end of 2012, we received payments on this note totaling $75 million. We received payments for the remaining note balance of $10 million during the first quarter of 2013. The balance of $10 million at December 31, 2012 was included in our accompanying consolidated balance sheet within “Other current assets.”

(a) Reflects the gain recognized upon the February 2013 settlement of our obligations under the El Paso Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

During the period, we made amendments to our OPEB plans which will terminate coverage for post-age 65 Medicare eligible participants effective January 1, 2014. These participants, if receiving subsidized coverage, will purchase their future coverage through a retiree Medicare exchange. For those participants who are eligible, the plan will provide a subsidy to purchase their new coverage. Based on the materiality of the change in our OPEB obligation resulting from the amendments, we remeasured the assets and liabilities of the OPEB plans as of July 31, 2013. The remeasurement had the associated effects of (i) decreasing our net liability funded balance by $84 million; (ii) decreasing our accumulated other comprehensive loss balance by $53 million; and (iii) increasing accumulated deferred income taxes by $31 million.

10.  Income Taxes

Income taxes from continuing operations included in our accompanying consolidated statements of income were as follows (in millions, except percentages): 

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Income tax expense	$	171		$	60		$	675		$	165
Effective tax rate	24		%	13		%	25		%	18		%

Tax expense from income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 is approximately $171 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 24% as compared with $60 million tax expense, and an effective tax rate of 13%, for the same period of 2012. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 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 provision; (ii) dividend-received deductions from our 50% interest in Florida Gas Pipeline (through our investment in Citrus Corporation); and (iii) the tax impact of our 2013 sale of our investment in a Pakistan power plant. These decreases are partially offset by state income taxes.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012 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 20% investment in NGPL and 50% investment in Florida Gas Pipeline; (iii) an adjustment to non tax-deductible costs incurred to facilitate the EP acquisition; (iv) an adjustment to the deferred tax liability related to non tax-deductible goodwill recorded to our investment in KMP; and (v) adjustments to our income tax reserve for uncertain tax positions. These decreases are partially offset by state income taxes.

Tax expense from income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is approximately $675 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 25% as compared with $165 million tax expense, and an effective tax rate of 18%, for the same period of 2012. The effective tax rate for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013 is lower than the statutory federal rate of 35% primarily due to (i) the net effect of consolidating KMP’s and EPB’s income tax provision; (ii) dividend-received deductions from our 50% interest in Florida Gas Pipeline; and (iii) the tax impact of a decrease in our

41

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

deferred state tax rate as a result of the drop-down of our 50% ownership interests in EPNG and EP midstream assets and KMP’s acquisition of Copano. These decreases are partially offset by state income taxes and a change in nondeductible goodwill related to our investment in KMP.

The effective tax rate for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2012 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 20% investment in NGPL and 50% investment in Florida Gas Pipeline; (iii) adjustments to our income tax reserve for uncertain tax positions; (iv) the adjustment to the deferred tax liability related to our investment in KMR; and (v) the tax impact of recording a deferred tax asset related to our state net operating losses. These decreases are partially offset by (i) state income taxes; (ii) the impact of non tax-deductible costs incurred to facilitate the acquisition of EP; (iii) an adjustment to the deferred tax liability related to non tax-deductible goodwill recorded to our investment in KMP; and (iv) the tax impact of an increase in the deferred state tax rate as a result of the EP acquisition.

11.  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). If the shippers are successful in proving 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 we may include in our 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 other 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 and EPNG implemented certain aspects of that decision. 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 is evaluating Opinion 528 and its impact. Based on our preliminary assessment, we believe our incremental exposure for refunds above our existing legal reserve is zero to $50 million.

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

42

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

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 includes determinations on issues, such as SFPP’s entitlement to an income tax allowance, allocation of environmental expenses, and refund liability which KMP believes 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.  The CPUC’s order denied SFPP’s request for rehearing of the CPUC’s income tax allowance treatment, while granting requested rehearing of various, other issues relating to SFPP’s refund liability and staying the payment of refunds until resolution of the outstanding issues on rehearing. 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. SFPP is currently assessing the precise impact of the now final state rulings denying SFPP an income tax allowance and is awaiting CPUC decisions that will determine the impact related to the denial of an income tax allowance.

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, with a decision expected in the fourth quarter of 2013.

On July 19, 2013, Calnev filed an application with the CPUC requesting a 36% increase in its intrastate rates; a decision from the CPUC is expected by the first quarter of 2014.

Based on KMP’s review of these CPUC proceedings and the shipper comments thereon, it estimates that the shippers are requesting approximately $375 million in reparation payments and approximately $30 million in annual rate reductions.  The actual amount of reparations will be determined through further proceedings at the CPUC. As of September 30, 2013, KMP believes its legal reserve, including an adjustment of the reserve made in the second quarter of 2013 related in part to this matter, is adequate such that the resolution of pending CPUC matters will not have a material adverse impact on its business, financial position or results of operations. We do not expect any reparations that KMP would pay in this matter to impact KMP’s $5.33 per unit cash distributions it expects to pay to its limited partners for 2013.

Copano Shareholders’ Litigation

Three putative class action lawsuits were filed in connection with KMP’s merger with Copano: (i) Schultes v. Copano Energy, L.L.C., et al. (Case No. 06966), in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, which is referred to as the Texas State Action; (ii) Bruen v. Copano Energy, L.L.C., et al. (Case No. 4:13-CV-00540) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, which is referred to as the Texas Federal Action; and (iii) In re Copano Energy, L.L.C. Shareholder Litigation, Case No. 8284-VCN in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, which is referred to as the Delaware Action, which reflects the consolidation of three actions originally filed in the Court of Chancery. The Texas State Action, the Texas Federal Action and the Delaware Action are collectively referred to as the “Actions.”

The Actions name Copano, R. Bruce Northcutt, William L. Thacker, James G. Crump, Ernie L. Danner, T. William Porter, Scott A. Griffiths, Michael L. Johnson, Michael G. MacDougall, Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., KMEP and Javelina Merger Sub LLC as defendants. The Actions were purportedly brought on behalf of a putative class seeking to enjoin the merger and allege, among other things, that the members of Copano’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell Copano for inadequate and unfair consideration and pursuant to an inadequate and unfair process, and that Copano, KMEP, Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc. and Javelina Merger Sub LLC aided and abetted such alleged breaches. In addition, the plaintiffs in each of the Texas State Action and the Delaware Action alleged that the Copano directors breached their duty of candor to unitholders by failing to provide the unitholders with all material information regarding the merger and/or made misstatements in the preliminary proxy statement. The plaintiffs in the Texas Federal Action also asserted a claim under the federal securities laws alleging that the preliminary proxy statement omits and/or misrepresents material information in connection with the merger.

43

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

On April 21, 2013, the parties in all the Actions executed a Memorandum of Understanding pursuant to which Copano agreed to make certain additional disclosures concerning the merger in a Form 8-K, which Copano filed on April 22, 2013, and the plaintiffs agreed to enter into a stipulation of settlement providing for full settlement and dismissal with prejudice of each of the Actions. The parties then prepared and filed a Stipulation of Settlement with the Delaware Chancery Court, and on June 28, 2013, Copano announced that it had reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to settle all claims asserted against all defendants. The settlement does not require the defendants to pay any monetary consideration to the proposed settlement class. Following notice to the putative class, the Delaware Chancery Court held a settlement hearing and issued a final order approving the settlement on September 9, 2013. The order, among other things, dismissed the Delaware Action with prejudice and provided for a release in favor of all of the defendants for any and all claims by any of the putative class members arising out of the merger. The order also awarded plaintiffs’ counsel in the Delaware action $450,000 for their fees and expenses, to be paid by defendants. The plaintiff in the Texas Federal Action dismissed his case on May 13, 2013 and intervened in the Texas State Action on August 12, 2013 for the sole purpose of advancing a joint motion and petition for attorneys’ fees and expenses. On October 11, 2013, the court in the Texas State Action entered an order and final judgment denying plaintiffs’ joint motion for fees and expenses.

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 judge determined that the annual rent payable as of January 1, 2004 was $15 million, subject to annual consumer price index increases. SFPP intends to appeal the judge’s determination, but if that determination is upheld, SFPP would owe approximately $75 million in back rent. Accordingly, during 2011, KMP increased its rights-of-way liability to cover this liability amount. In addition, the judge determined that UPRR is entitled to an estimated $20 million for interest on the outstanding back rent liability.  KMP believes the award of interest is without merit and it is pursuing its appellate rights.

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. SFPP is evaluating 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) would have an adverse effect on KMP’s financial position, its results of operations, its cash flows, and KMP’s distributions to its limited partners.  These effects would 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 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 United States 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. Trial is scheduled to begin on November 12, 2013.

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 151^st 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. We believe that we are entitled to defense and indemnity from Kinetica under the Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement with Kinetica and 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”) and May 2013 (“Brinckerhoff III”), derivative lawsuits were filed in Delaware Chancery Court against El Paso, El Paso Pipeline GP Company, L.L.C., EPB’s general partner, and the directors of its general partner. EPB was named in these lawsuits as a “Nominal Defendant.” The lawsuits arise from the March 2010, November 2010 and May 2012 drop down transactions involving EPB’s purchase of SLNG, Elba Express, CPG and interest in SNG and CIG. The lawsuits allege various conflicts of interest and that the consideration EPB paid was excessive. Defendants’ motion to dismiss in Brinckerhoff I was denied in part. Brinckerhoff I and II have been consolidated into one proceeding. A motion to dismiss has been filed in Brinckerhoff III. Defendants continue to believe that these actions 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. Defendants’ motion to dismiss was denied. Defendants continue to believe this action is without merit and intend to defend against it vigorously.

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 are pending in federal court in Nevada, were dismissed, however, on April 10, 2013, the 9^th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed this dismissal and remanded the cases to the Nevada court. We have filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, and the matter has been stayed pending the filing of such petition. 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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our total reserve for legal matters was $619 million and $425 million, respectively.  The reserve primarily relates to various claims from regulatory proceedings arising from KMP’s products pipeline and natural gas pipeline transportation rates. The overall change in the reserve from December 31, 2012 was primarily due to increases in expense in the first nine months of 2013 associated with KMP’s adjustments to interstate and California intrastate transportation rate case liabilities.

Environmental Matters

We and our subsidiaries are subject to environmental cleanup and enforcement actions from time to time. In particular, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, also known as 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. Specifically, we are involved in matters including incidents at terminal facilities in New Jersey and Texas involving the United States Department of Transportation PHMSA and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, respectively, which may result in fines and penalties for alleged violations. 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, NGLs, natural gas and CO₂.

Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Inspections

In Fall 2012, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, referred to as COGCC, performed inspections at multiple well sites in Southwestern Colorado owned by KMCO₂ and some of these inspections resulted in alleged violations of COGCC’s rules. KMCO₂ took immediate steps to correct the alleged deficiencies and has engaged COGCC and other agencies in its efforts to maintain compliance. In June 2013, the parties settled the matter through an Administrative Order on Consent under which KMCO₂ agreed to pay $220,000 of which up to $80,000 may be paid toward a public project. Other than completion of the agreed public project, this matter is resolved and no further actions are anticipated.

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

EPEC Polymers and EPEC Oil Company Liquidating 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 remediation of the lower eight miles of the Passaic River. EPEC Polymers and EPEC Oil Company Liquidating Trust are 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 the EPEC Oil Company Liquidating Trust entered into two Administrative Orders on Consent (AOCs) which obligated them to investigate and characterize contamination at the Site. They are also part of a joint defense group of cooperating parties (CPG) which have entered into AOCs and are directing and funding the work required by EPA . Under the first AOC, a remedial investigation and feasibility study of the Site is presently estimated to be completed by 2015, at which time the EPA is expected to issue a Record of Decision directing the CPG and other parties to perform remedial measures. 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. After the completion of dredging, a cap will be installed. The removal action is ongoing and is estimated to be completed by December 2013. We have established a reserve for the anticipated cost of compliance with the AOCs.

New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection v. Occidental Chemical Corporation, et al. (Defendants), Maxus Energy Corp. and Tierra Solutions, Inc. (Third Party Plaintiffs) v. 3M Company et al., Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division - Essex County, Docket No. L-9868-05

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) sued Occidental Chemical and others under the New Jersey Spill Act for contamination in the Newark Bay Complex including numerous waterways and rivers.  Occidental et al. then brought in approximately 300 third party defendants for contribution.  NJDEP claimed damages related to forty years of discharges of TCDD (a form of dioxin), DDT and “other hazardous substances.” GATX Terminals Corporation (n/k/a Kinder Morgan Liquids Terminals LLC) (KMLT) was brought in as a third party defendant because of the noted hazardous substances language and because the Carteret, New Jersey facility (a former GATX Terminals facility) is located on the Arthur Kill River, one of the waterways included in the litigation.  This case was filed against third party defendants in 2009.  Recently, KMLT, as part of a joint defense group, entered a settlement agreement (Consent Judgment) with the NJDEP whereby the settling parties for a prescribed payment, get a contribution bar against first party defendants Occidental, Maxus and Tierra in addition to a release. This third-party Consent Judgment was published in the New Jersey Register for a 60-day comment period and no significant comments were received. Additionally, the NJDEP has reached an agreement for a settlement with Maxus and Tierra. Occidental is not part of the settlement. As part of this settlement, these defendants agreed to dismiss all direct claims against third-party defendants and to not oppose the third-party settlement. The notice and comment period for this settlement agreement has now closed and comments are being reviewed by the NJDEP. We anticipate the Maxus/Tierra settlement and the third-party settlement to be completed by year end. All discovery and trial proceedings are stayed during settlement negotiations.

Portland Harbor Superfund Site, Willamette River, Portland, Oregon

In December 2000, the EPA sent out 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 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.  KMP is participating in the allocation process on behalf of both KMLT and KMBT.  Each entity has two facilities located in Portland Harbor.  KMP expects the allocation to conclude in 2014 and the EPA to issue its Record of Decision in 2015. It is anticipated that the cleanup activities would 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

This is a CERCLA case brought against a number of defendants by a water purveyor whose wells have allegedly been contaminated due to the presence of a number of contaminants.  The Roosevelt Irrigation District is seeking up to $175 million from approximately 70 defendants. Plaintiffs filed its Second Amended Complaint (SAC) on August 6,2013. In the SAC, plaintiffs added defendants but also eliminated a number of claims and defendants that were previously named in the First Amended Complaint. KMEP was added as a defendant. The claims now presented in the SAC against KMEP and SFPP are all related to alleged releases from the SFPP Phoenix Terminal and the alleged impact of these releases on water wells owned by the plaintiffs and located in the vicinity of the Terminal. On October 24, 2013, we moved to dismiss the SAC.

The City of Los Angeles v. Kinder Morgan Liquids Terminals, LLC, Shell Oil Company, Equilon Enterprises LLC;  California Superior Court, County of Los Angeles, Case No. NC041463

KMLT is a defendant in a lawsuit filed in 2005 alleging claims for environmental cleanup costs at the former Los Angeles Marine Terminal in the Port of Los Angeles. The lawsuit was stayed beginning in 2009 and remained stayed following the last case management conference in March 2013. On April 9, 2013, KMLT and the Port of Los Angeles entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement the terms of which provide for the dismissal of the litigation by the Port and KMLT’s agreement to pay 60% of the Port’s costs to remediate the former terminal site up to a $15 million cap. Further, according to terms of the Settlement and Release, we received a 5-year lease extension that allows KMLT to continue fuel loading and offloading operations at another KMLT Port of Los Angeles terminal property. The Court approved the parties’ Good Faith Settlement motion in the Superior Court and dismissed the case.

The City of Los Angeles, KMLT, Chevron and Phillips 66 remain named on a Cleanup and Abatement Order from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board as parties responsible for the cleanup of the former Los Angeles Marine Terminal. The private parties have all settled with the City of Los Angeles and have agreed to pay a percentage of the City’s costs to perform the required cleanup. We anticipate that cleanup activities by the Port at the site will begin by 1^st quarter 2014.

Exxon Mobil Corporation v. GATX Corporation, Kinder Morgan Liquids Terminals, LLC and ST Services, Inc.

On April 23, 2003, ExxonMobil filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Gloucester County. The lawsuit relates to environmental remediation obligations at a 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, and it too is a party to the lawsuit.

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 against ExxonMobil and KMLT, formerly known as GATX Terminals Corporation, alleging natural resource damages related to historic contamination at the Paulsboro terminal.  The complaint was filed in Gloucester County, New Jersey.  Both ExxonMobil and KMLT filed third party complaints against Support Terminals/Plains and successfully brought Support Terminals/Plains into the case. The court consolidated the two cases.

In mid 2011, KMLT and Plains Products entered into a settlement agreement with the NJDEP for settlement of the state’s alleged natural resource damages claim. The parties then entered into a Consent Judgment concerning the 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 a settlement 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.

The settlement with the state did not resolve the original complaint brought by ExxonMobil. On or around, April 10, 2013, KMLT, Plains and ExxonMobil settled the original Exxon complaint for past remediation costs for $750,000 to be split 50/50 between KMLT and Plains. All parties have now executed the agreement and the litigation is settled and dismissed.

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 United States 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 their claim for damages to approximately $365 million.

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 issued its final order reaffirming in all respects its tentative rulings and 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 United States 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.  SFPP continues to conduct an extensive remediation effort at the City’s stadium property 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 California Regional Water Quality Control Board’s (RWQCB) 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. KMEP is 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 twenty 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 United States 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 United States’ federal government agencies toward the cost of environmental activities associated with the mines, given its pervasive control over all aspects of the nuclear weapons program.

PHMSA Inspection of Carteret Terminal, Carteret, NJ

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 PHMSA, pursuant to which KMLT paid a penalty of $63,100 and is required to conduct ongoing pipeline integrity testing and other corrective measures by May, 2015.

Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Litigation

On July 24, 2013, the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority - East (“Flood Protection Authority”) filed a petition for damages and injunctive relief in state district court for Orleans Parish, Louisiana (Case No. 13-6911) against TGP and SNG, and approximately one hundred 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 Flood Protection Authority 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.

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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we have accrued a total reserve for environmental liabilities in the amount of $390 million and $421 million, respectively, of which $219 million and $253 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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we have recorded a receivable of $14 million and $22 million, respectively, 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, we have agreed to indemnify EPB with respect to $470 million 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.

Capital Contributions for Elba Island Liquefaction Project

In January 2013, SLC, a subsidiary of EPB, and Shell US Gas and Power, LLC (Shell G&P), a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc (Shell), formed ELC, EPB’s equity method investment, to develop and own a natural gas liquefaction plant at SLNG’s existing Elba Island LNG terminal. In connection with the formation of ELC, SLC and Shell G&P entered into a LLC agreement in which SLC owns 51% of ELC and Shell G&P owns the remaining membership interest. Under the terms of the LLC agreement, SLC and Shell G&P are both obligated to make certain capital contributions in proportion to their membership interests in ELC to fund the construction of the liquefaction facilities. EPB’s estimated investment at the terminal in Phase I, including both the liquefaction facilities and SLNG ancillary facilities, is approximately $800 million. Phase I of the project requires no additional Department of Energy (DOE) approval.

12.  Accounting for Regulatory Activities

Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

Regulatory assets and liabilities represent probable future revenues or expenses associated with certain charges and credits that will be recovered from or refunded to customers through the ratemaking process.  We included the amounts of our regulatory assets and liabilities within “Other current assets,” “Deferred charges and other assets,” “Accrued other current liabilities,” and “Other long-term liabilities and deferred credits” respectively, in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2013, the recovery period for these regulatory assets is approximately one year to forty-two years .

The following table summarizes our regulatory asset and liability balances as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in millions):

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Current regulatory assets	$	77	$	62
Non-current regulatory assets	463		402
Total regulatory assets(a)	$	540	$	464
Current regulatory liabilities	$	123	$	7
Non-current regulatory liabilities	393		113
Total regulatory liabilities(b)	$	516	$	120

_______

(a) Includes an $87 million increase since December 31, 2012 (net of related amortization of $5 million) associated with TGP’s sale of certain natural gas facilities located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore in the state of Louisiana.

(b) During the second quarter of 2013, we began applying regulatory accounting to another one of KMP’s pipeline systems due to a newly negotiated long-term tolling agreement approved by the system’s regulator that went into effect in April 2013. The primary impact of applying regulatory accounting was the reclassification of approximately $362 million of current and long-term deferred credits to regulatory liabilities. KMP expects this regulatory liability to be refunded to rate-payers over approximately the next four years. As of September 30, 2013, $117 million remains classified as current regulatory liability.

On July 26, 2012, TGP filed an application with the FERC seeking authority to abandon by sale certain natural gas facilities located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore in the state of Louisiana, as well as a related offer of settlement that addressed the proposed rate and accounting treatment associated with the sale. The offer of settlement provided for a rate adjustment to TGP’s maximum tariff rates upon the transfer of the assets and established a regulatory asset for a portion of the unrecovered net book value of the facilities to be sold. Effective September 1, 2013, following the FERC’s approval of both the requested abandonment authorization and the offer of settlement, TGP sold these assets and recognized both a $92 million increase in regulatory assets and a $36 million gain from the sale of assets.

13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Updates

None of the Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) that we adopted and that became effective January 1, 2013 (including (i) ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities;” (ii) ASU No. 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment;” (iii) ASU No. 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities;” and (iv) ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”) had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.  More information about the four ASUs listed above can be found in Note 18 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to our consolidated financial statements that were included in our 2012 Form 10-K.

On March 5, 2013 the FASB issued 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).” This ASU amends the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 830, “Foreign Currency Matters,” and ASC 810, “Consolidation,” to address diversity in practice related to the release of cumulative translation adjustments (CTA) into earnings upon the occurrence of certain derecognition events. ASU No. 2013-05 precludes the release of CTA for derecognition events that occur within a foreign entity, unless such events represent a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity; however, derecognition events related to investments in a foreign entity result in the release of all CTA related to the derecognized foreign entity, even when a noncontrolling financial interest is retained. ASU No. 2013-05 also amends ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” for transactions that result in a company obtaining control of a business in a step acquisition by increasing an investment in a foreign entity from one accounted for under the equity method to one accounted for as a consolidated investment. ASU No. 2013-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 (January 1, 2014 for us) and is to be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (Topic 740).”  Under this ASU, an entity must present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability when (1) the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction and (2) the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. This guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013 (early adoption and retrospective application are permitted). We are currently reviewing the effects of ASU 2013-11. However, this guidance only affects gross versus net presentation and not the recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions under Topic 740.

15. Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries

KMI has guaranteed the payment of the outstanding senior notes issued by El Paso LLC (formerly known as El Paso Corporation). These notes were also guaranteed by El Paso Holdco LLC (“El Paso Holdco”), El Paso LLC’s direct parent. El Paso Issuing Corporation (“Finance Corp”), a direct subsidiary of El Paso LLC, is the co-issuer of these notes. As of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately $3.9 billion in aggregate principal amount of these series of El Paso LLC senior notes (referred to as the “Guaranteed Notes”) is outstanding. Finance Corp’s obligations as a co-issuer and primary obligor are the same as and joint and several with the obligations of El Paso LLC as issuer. Subject to the limitations set forth in the applicable supplemental indentures, the guarantees of KMI and El Paso Holdco are full and unconditional and joint and several, and guarantee the Guaranteed Notes through their respective maturity dates, the latest of which is in 2037. Finance Corp has no subsidiaries and no independent assets or operations. A significant amount of KMI’s and El Paso Holdco’s income and cash flow are generated by their subsidiaries. As a result, the funds necessary to meet KMI’s and El Paso Holdco’s debt service and/or guarantee obligations are provided in large part by distributions or advances from their subsidiaries. Included among the non-guarantor subsidiaries are KMP, KMR and EPB, along with Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., the general partner of KMP and El Paso Pipeline GP Company, L.L.C., the general partner of EPB. In the unaudited condensed

consolidating financial information presented below, KMI is “Parent Guarantor,” El Paso Holdco is the “Guarantor Subsidiary” and El Paso LLC and Finance Corp are the “Subsidiary Issuers.” The Guarantor Subsidiary and both of the Subsidiary Issuers are 100% owned by KMI.

Subsequent Event

On October 3, 2013 El Paso LLC transferred all of it’s assets to El Paso Holdco pursuant to an internal restructuring transaction. In connection with such internal restructuring, El Paso Holdco succeeded El Paso LLC as issuer with respect to the Guaranteed Notes and El Paso LLC ceased to be an obligor with respect to the Guaranteed Notes. KMI continues to guarantee the payment of the Guaranteed Notes and Finance Corp continues to be co-issuer of the Guaranteed Notes. The information below has been prepared based on the legal organization as it existed prior to the reorganization. The internal restructuring will result in a revised presentation of this unaudited condensed consolidating financial information in future periods.

Update for Recast and Correction to Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

During the second quarter 2013, KMI determined it had incorrectly presented certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidating Financial Information included in its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2012, and its Form 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2013. The Company revised its Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements, for the applicable periods presented, to correct for the presentation of (i) investments, loans, capital contributions and repayments between, and (ii) incorrect inclusion of certain entities within, the Parent Guarantor, Guarantor Subsidiary, Subsidiary Issuers and Non-guarantor Subsidiaries. These errors had no impact on KMI’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position, or any debt covenants. We concluded the errors were not material to the consolidated financial statements.

In addition, the Company has updated the Condensed Consolidating Financial Information to reflect the recast related to the March 1, 2013 drop-down transaction and the retroactive application of the EP purchase accounting adjustments discussed in Note 2 on each of the statements that were included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods indicated or the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2012. The impact of these revisions are shown in Note 15 “Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries” to our consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013.

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 2012 Form 10-K; and (iii) our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our 2012 Form 10-K.

We prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In addition, as discussed in Note 1 “General” and Note 2 “Acquisitions and Divestitures” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, our financial statements reflect:

• KMP’s August 2012 and March 2013 acquisitions of net assets from us as if such acquisitions had taken place on the effective dates of common control. We refer to these two separate transfers of net assets from us to KMP as the drop-down transactions, and we refer to the transferred assets as the drop-down asset groups. We accounted for the drop-down transactions as a combination of entities under common control, and accordingly, the financial information contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include the financial results of the drop-down asset groups for all periods subsequent to the effective dates of common control; and

• the reclassifications necessary to reflect the results of KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group as discontinued operations. We sold KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group effective November 1, 2012 for approximately $1.8 billion in cash (before selling costs), or $3.3 billion including KMP’s share of joint venture debt. In the first quarter of 2013, following the final working capital adjustment, we recorded an incremental loss of $2 million related to our sale of the disposal group, and except for this loss amount, we recorded no other financial results from the operations of the disposal group during the first nine months of 2013. Furthermore, we have excluded the disposal group’s financial results from the Natural Gas Pipelines business segment disclosures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

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 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, 2013. 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 (including its inherent goodwill) 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 2012 Form 10-K. 

Results of Operations

Non-GAAP Measures

The non-generally accepted accounting principles, or 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.

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, segment EBDA 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 either of 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

Consolidated Earnings Results

With regard to our reportable business segments, we consider segment earnings before all non-cash depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses, and amortization of excess cost of equity investments (defined in the “-Results of Operations” tables below and sometimes referred to in this report as EBDA) to be an important measure of our success in maximizing returns to our shareholders. 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.

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

Our income from continuing operations before income taxes (excluding income taxes allocated to segment earnings, see footnote (a)) increased by $276 million (62%) from $446 million in the third quarter of 2012 to $722 million in the third quarter of 2013. However, this increase included a $161 million (pre-tax) increase in income from continuing operations before income taxes from the combined effect of the certain items referenced in footnotes (b), (c) and (d) in the above tables.

After adjusting for these items, the remaining $115 million (20%) increase in income from continuing operations before income taxes was primarily due to better performance in the third quarter of 2013 from the Natural Gas Pipelines, CO2-KMP, Products Pipelines-KMP, and Terminals-KMP business segments. The quarterly increase was partially offset by a decrease in EBDA from the Kinder Morgan Canada-KMP business segment.

Our income from continuing operations before income taxes (excluding income taxes allocated to segment earnings, see footnote (a)) increased by $1,772 million (198%) from $893 million in the first nine months of 2012 to $2,665 million in the same period in 2013. However, this increase included a $1,071 million (pre-tax) increase in income from continuing operations before income taxes from the combined effect of the certain items referenced in footnotes (f), (g) and (h) in the above tables.

After adjusting for these items, the remaining $701 million (52%) increase in income from continuing operations before income taxes was primarily due to better performance in the first nine months of 2013 from the Natural Gas Pipelines (primarily due to a full nine months of contributions from the EP operations, including EPB), the Products Pipelines-KMP, CO2-KMP, and Terminals-KMP business segments. The overall increase in total segment EBDA across the comparable nine month periods included a decrease in EBDA from the Kinder Morgan Canada-KMP business segment.

In our discussions of the operating results of individual businesses that follow, we generally identify the important fluctuations between periods that are attributable to acquisitions and dispositions separately from those that are attributable to businesses owned in both periods.

_______

n/a – not applicable

(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 depreciation and amortization expenses less sustaining capital expenditures.

(b) Represents EBDA and revenues from those EP subsidiaries not included in KMP or EPB.

(c) Includes results from our 20% equity interest in NGPL Holdco LLC, the owner of Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America, LLC (NGPL) which had a carrying value of $64 million as of September 30, 2013. While not material to our results, the performance of this asset has further declined primarily due to continuing unfavorable market conditions affecting this asset including excess gas supply, reduced basis spreads, and low commodity prices. To the extent such market conditions are expected to persist or further deteriorate, this may affect the realization of our investment.

(d) Represents amounts attributable to KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group. 

The increases (primarily incremental earnings from the EP acquisition effective in May 25, 2012) and decreases in our Natural Gas Pipelines business segment’s EBDA from continuing operations in the comparable three and nine month periods of 2013 and 2012 were attributable to the following:

▪ incremental loss of $13 million (4%) and earnings of $465 million (110%), respectively, from EPB;

▪ incremental loss of $5 million (3%) and earnings of $333 million (130%), respectively, from TGP;

▪ incremental loss of $3 million (3%) and earnings of $155 million (120%), respectively, from EPNG;

▪ incremental earnings of $5 million (17%) and $40 million (81%), respectively, from the other KMI owned assets;

▪ incremental earnings of $4 million (23%) and $42 million (209%), respectively, from KMP’s EP midstream assets, which it acquired 50% from Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co L.P. (KKR) effective June 1, 2012, and 50% from us effective March 1, 2013;

▪ incremental earnings of $88 million and $146 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 KMP previously owned);

▪ increases of $17 million (29%) and $18 million (8%), respectively, from KMP’s Texas intrastate natural gas pipeline group, due largely to lower pipeline maintenance expenses and higher transportation volumes from the Eagle Ford shale formation in South Texas. The drop in maintenance expenses was due to both higher pipeline integrity maintenance and increased well repair expenses incurred in the third quarter of 2012. For the comparable nine month periods, the earnings increase was due to higher transport margins (primarily related to service associated with Eagle Ford), but partially offset by both lower storage margins (due mainly to timing differences on storage settlements) and lower natural gas processing margins (due mainly to lower NGLs prices). The growth in revenues across both comparable three and nine month periods reflect higher natural gas sales revenues, driven by higher natural gas sales volumes in

72

2013 versus 2012. However, because the intrastate group both purchases and sells significant volumes of natural gas, and because the group generally sells natural gas in the same price environment in which it is purchased, the increases in its natural gas sales revenues were largely offset by corresponding increases in its natural gas purchase costs;

▪ incremental earnings of $16 million (150%) and $46 million (279%), respectively, from KMP’s total (100%) Eagle Ford natural gas gathering operations, due mainly to higher natural gas gathering volumes from the Eagle Ford shale formation, and for the comparable nine month periods, to the incremental 50% ownership interest KMP acquired as part of its acquisition of Copano effective May 1, 2013;

▪ decreases of $11 million (46%) and $22 million (35%), respectively, from KMP’s natural gas treating operations, primarily due to lower sales volumes and margins from treating equipment manufacturing.

The period-to-period decreases in earnings before depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses from discontinued operations was due to the sale of KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group effective November 1, 2012. For further information about this sale, see Note 1 “General-Basis of Presentation-FTC Natural Gas Pipelines Disposal Group - Discontinued Operations” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

The CO2–KMP segment’s primary businesses involve the production, marketing and transportation of both CO2 and crude oil, and the production and marketing of natural gas and NGLs. We refer to the segment’s two primary businesses as its Oil and Gas Producing Activities and its Sales and Transportation Activities.

The certain items described in footnotes (a) and (b) to the table above (i) decreased segment EBDA by $4 million and increased segment EBDA $1 million, respectively; and (ii) decreased segment revenues by $4 million and increased segment revenues by $8 million, respectively, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, when compared to the same periods of 2012. For each of the segment’s two primary businesses, following is information related to the increases and decreases, in the comparable three and nine month periods of 2013 and 2012, in the segment’s remaining (i)$17 million (5%) and$51 million (5%) increases in EBDA; and (ii) $40 million (9%) and$87 million (7%) increases in operating revenues:

Total CO2–KMP	$	51	5	%	$	87		7	%

The period-to-period increases in EBDA from 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, were largely due to the following:

▪ increases of $35 million (12%) and $91 million (11%), respectively, in crude oil sales revenues-due primarily to higher average realized sales prices for U.S. crude oil and partly due to higher oil sales volumes. KMP’s realized weighted average price per barrel of crude oil increased 8% in the third quarter of 2013 and4% in the first nine months of 2013, when compared to the same periods in 2012. The overall increases in oil sales revenues were also favorably impacted by increases in sales volumes of 4% and 6%, respectively. The period-to-period increases in volumes were due primarily to higher production at the Katz field unit and to incremental production from the Goldsmith Landreth unit (acquired effective June 1, 2013), and for the comparable nine month periods, to higher production at the SACROC unit (volumes presented in the results of operations table above);

▪ an increase of $3 million (9%) and a decrease of $8 million (6%), respectively, in natural gas plant products sales. The quarter-to-quarter increase was driven by both a 6% increase in KMP’s realized weighted average price per barrel of NGLs and a 3% increase in sales volumes. The year-over-year decrease in products sales revenues was due to an 11% decrease in KMP’s average sales price, but was partially offset by a 6% increase in sales volumes; and

▪ decreases of $28 million (29%) and $47 million (16%), respectively, due to higher combined operating expenses, driven primarily by higher fuel and power expenses, and higher maintenance and well workover expenses, all related to increased drilling activity relative to the comparable three and nine month periods of 2012.

Earnings before depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses from the segment’s sales and transportation activities increased by $6 million (7%) in the third quarter of 2013, and by $13 million (5%) in the first nine months of 2013, when

74

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

compared to the same periods last year. The period-to-period increases in earnings were driven by higher average sales prices for CO₂ in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, when compared to the same two periods a year ago.

Combined, the certain items described in footnotes (a) and (b) to the table above increased the Products Pipelines–KMP business segment’s EBDA by $35 million in the third quarter of 2013, and decreased segment EBDA by $145 million in the first nine months of 2013, when compared to the same prior year periods. Following is information related to the increases and decreases, in the comparable three and nine month periods of both years, in the segment’s (i) remaining $17 million (9%) and $54 million (10%) increases in EBDA; and (ii) $88 million (23%) and $431 million (46%) increases in operating revenues:

The primary increases and decreases in the Products Pipelines–KMP business segment’s EBDA in the comparable three and nine month periods of 2013 and 2012 included the following:

▪ incremental earnings of $7 million and $11 million, respectively, from the Kinder Morgan Crude Oil & Condensate Pipeline, which began transporting crude oil and condensate volumes from the Eagle Ford shale gas formation to multiple terminaling facilities along the Texas Gulf Coast in October 2012;

▪ an increase of $3 million (4%) and a decrease of $4 million (2%), respectively, from the Pacific operations. The increase in earnings for the comparable third quarter periods was driven by higher mainline transportation revenues, due primarily to an almost 5% increase in system-wide delivery volumes. The decrease in earnings for the comparable nine month periods was primarily attributable to a reduction in mainline transportation revenues recorded in the the second quarter of 2013. The reduction to transport revenues related to rate reductions associated with various interstate and California intrastate rate case decisions;

▪ increases of $3 million (12%) and $6 million (10%), respectively, from KMP’s Southeast terminal operations, driven by higher margins from ethanol blending operations, and higher revenues from refined products and bio-fuels throughput volumes;

76

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

▪ incremental earnings of $2 million and $2 million, respectively, from KMP’s 50% interest in the Double Eagle pipeline system-which gathers condensate and crude oil for Eagle Ford shale producers and which it acquired as part of its Copano acquisition effective May 1, 2013;

▪ increases of $1 million (8%) and $16 million (112%), respectively, from KMP’s transmix processing operations. Transmix processing earnings were essentially unchanged across the comparable three month periods, but increased across the comparable nine month periods due to higher margins on processing volumes, incremental earnings from third-party sales of excess renewable identification numbers (RINS) (generated through KMP’s ethanol blending operations), and to the recognition of unfavorable net carrying value adjustments to product inventory recognized in the first nine months of 2012. The period-to-period increases in revenues were mainly due to the expiration of certain transmix fee-based processing agreements since the end of the third quarter of 2012. Due to the expiration of these contracts, KMP now directly purchases incremental transmix volumes and sell incremental volumes of refined products, resulting in both higher revenues and higher costs of sales expenses;

▪ increases of $1 million (3%) and $14 million (25%), respectively, from the Cochin Pipeline-earnings were essentially flat across the comparable quarterly periods, as higher transportation revenues were largely offset by higher income tax expenses (due to the recognition of a favorable income tax adjustment recorded in the third quarter of 2012). The increase in year-over-year earnings was primarily due to higher transportation revenues, driven by an overall 29% increase in pipeline throughput volumes, partly attributable to incremental ethane/propane volumes as a result of pipeline modification projects completed in June 2012; and

▪ increases of $1 million (7%) and $4 million (10%), respectively, from KMP’s approximate 51% interest in the Plantation pipeline system-due largely to higher transportation revenues driven by increases in system delivery volumes of13% and 11%, respectively, and by higher average tariff rates since the end of the third quarter of 2012.

(e) Volumes for acquired terminals are included for all periods and include KMP’s proportionate share of joint venture tonnage.

(f) The ratio of KMP’s actual leased capacity to its estimated potential capacity.

The Terminals–KMP business segment includes the operations of the petroleum, chemical and other liquids terminal facilities (other than those included in the Products Pipelines–KMP segment), and all of the coal, petroleum coke, fertilizer, steel, ores and other dry-bulk material services facilities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the certain items described in footnotes to the table above (i) increased segment EBDA by $19 million and $22 million, respectively; and (ii) increased segment revenues by$4 million, when compared to the same two periods of 2012. Following is information related to the increases and decreases, in the comparable three and nine month periods of both years, in the segment’s (i) remaining $15 million (8%) and $23 million (4%) increases in EBDA; and (ii) remaining $16 million (5%) and $13 million (1%) increases in operating revenues:

For both comparable three and nine month periods, the overall increases in earnings before depreciation, depletion and amortization from the Terminals-KMP segment were driven primarily by incremental contributions from KMP’s Gulf Liquids terminals. The increases were mainly due to higher liquids warehousing revenues from the 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.

The period-to-period increases in earnings from the Northeast terminal operations were driven by incremental contributions from KMP’s Carteret New Jersey liquids facility, and for the comparable nine month periods, its Perth Amboy, New Jersey liquids terminal. Carteret benefited from both higher non-operating income (due to insurance indemnifications received for 2012 business interruptions caused by Hurricane Sandy) and higher revenues (due in part to new customer agreements). The Perth Amboy terminal benefited from higher year-over-year revenues, due mainly to additional and restructured customer contracts at higher rates.

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

Earnings increases from the Gulf Bulk terminals were driven by both an 11% increase in petroleum coke volumes and lower operating expenses in the third quarter of 2013, and for the comparable nine month periods, to a 36% increase in coal transfer volumes. The quarter-to-quarter decrease in expense was due primarily to lower expenses at KMP’s engineering and conveying facility and at its steel handling facilities. The overall increases in earnings were partially offset, however, by lower engineering and conveying service revenues due to less third party work.

For all terminals included in the Terminals-KMP business segment, total liquids leaseable capacity increased to 62.6 million barrels at the end of the third quarter of 2013, up 4% from a capacity of60.2 million barrels at the end of the third quarter of 2012. The increase was mainly due to the acquisition of KMP’s Norfolk and Chesapeake, Virginia facilities from Allied Terminals in June 2013 (incremental contributions from these two terminals are included within the “Acquired assets and businesses” line in the two tables above). At the same time, KMP’s overall liquids utilization capacity rate increased2.5% since the end of the third quarter of 2012.

The increases in the Terminals-KMP segment’s earnings reported in the “All others” lines in the two tables above represent increases and decreases in terminal results at various locations. The overall $4 million (5%) increase in earnings across the comparable quarterly periods was due in large part to (i) completed capital expansion projects since the end of the third quarter of 2012 at KMP’s IMT facility and (ii) higher steel handling activity at KMP’s Mid-River steel and metal alloy facilities. The overall increase in earnings was partially offset by higher segment income tax expenses in the third quarter of 2013 (from income tax expenses not allocated to regions but instead included in the “All others” table line).

Earnings from both the West and Mid-Atlantic terminal facilities were flat across the comparable three month periods, but KMP benefited from incremental ancillary terminal services from its North 40 Edmonton, Canada crude oil tank farm across the comparable nine month periods. The year-over-year decrease in earnings from the Mid-Atlantic terminals was due primarily to a 10% drop in coal transfer volumes at KMP’s Pier IX facility due largely to some weakening in the coal export market relative to 2012, and partly to scheduled maintenance at the facility in the second quarter of 2013.

(a) Three and nine month 2013 amounts include a loss of $1 million and a gain of $224 million, respectively, from the sale of KMP’s equity and debt investments in the Express pipeline system.

(b) Nine month 2013 amount includes an $84 million increase in income tax expense related to the pre-tax gains associated with the sale of KMP’s equity and debt investments in the Express pipeline system described in footnote (a).

(c) Represents Trans Mountain pipeline system volumes.

The Kinder Morgan Canada–KMP business segment includes the operations of the Trans Mountain and Jet Fuel pipeline systems, and until March 14, 2013, the effective date of sale, KMP’s one-third ownership interest in the Express crude oil pipeline system. The certain items relating to KMP’s sale of Express (described in the footnotes (a) and (b) to the table above) decreased segment EBDA by $1 million in the third quarter of 2013, and increased segment EBDA by $140 million in the first nine months of 2013, when compared to the same prior year periods. For each of the segment’s three primary businesses, following is information related to the increases and decreases, in the comparable three and nine month periods of both years, in the segment’s (i) remaining$12 million (21%) and $12 million (8%) decreases in EBDA; and (ii) $6 million (8%) and $5 million (2%) decreases in operating revenues:

_______

(a) Equity investment, accordingly, KMP records earnings under the equity method of accounting. However, KMP sold its debt and equity investments in Express effective March 14, 2013.

The period-to-period decreases in EBDA from Express were primarily due to both lower equity earnings and lower interest income resulting from the sale of KMP’s equity and debt investments in Express effective March 14, 2013.

The decreases in Trans Mountain’s earnings were driven by (i) higher income tax expenses (due largely to general increases in British Columbia’s income tax rates since the end of the third quarter of 2012); (ii) unfavorable impacts from foreign currency translation (due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar since the end of the third quarter of 2012, KMP translated Canadian denominated income and expense amounts into less U.S. dollars in 2013) and (iii) lower management incentive fees earned from the operation of the Express pipeline system (due to its sale in March 2013). The period-to-period decreases in Trans Mountain’s earnings were partially offset by incremental non-operating income from allowances for funds used during construction (representing an estimate of the cost of capital funded by equity contributions).

Other

Our other segment activities include those operations that were acquired from EP on May 25, 2012 and are primarily related to several physical natural gas contracts with power plants associated with EP’s legacy trading activities. These contracts obligate EP to sell natural gas to these plants and have various expiration dates ranging from 2012 to 2028. There were losses of $3 million and $4 million, respectively, from this segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. There were gains of $21 million and $18 million, respectively, from this segment for the third quarter of 2012 and the period from May 25, 2012 to September 30, 2012, which included $21 million legal recoveries on EP legacy legal matters.

applicable GAAP rules; (iii) $37 million in advisory fees; (iv) $96 million for legal fees and litigation reserves; and (v) $17 million benefit associated with pension income.

(b) The NGPL Holdco LLC fixed fee revenues of $9 million and $8 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and of $27 million and $26 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, have been included in the “Product sales and other” caption in our accompanying consolidated statements of income with the offsetting expenses primarily included in the “General and administrative” expense caption in our accompanying consolidated statements of income. 

(c) Three and nine month 2013 amounts include (i) increases in severance expense of $2 million and $7 million, respectively, associated with the asset drop-down groups and allocated to KMP from us (however, KMP does not have any obligation, nor did it pay any amounts related to this expense); and (ii) increases in expense of $1 million and $33 million, respectively, associated with unallocated legal expenses and certain asset and business acquisition costs. Nine month 2013 amount also includes a $9 million increase in expense attributable to KMP’s drop-down asset groups for periods prior to the acquisition dates. Three and nine month 2012 amounts include (i) increases in expense of $28 million and $101 million (including $67 million of EP acquisition expenses for employee severance, retention and bonus costs), respectively, attributable to KMP’s drop-down asset groups for periods prior to the acquisition dates; (ii) a $3 million increase in severance expense associated with the asset drop-down groups and allocated to KMP from us (however, KMP does not have any obligation, nor did it pay any amounts related to this expense); and (iii) a $2 million increase in expense associated with certain asset and business acquisition costs. Nine month 2012 amount also includes a $1 million increase in unallocated severance expense associated with certain Terminal operations.

(d) Three and nine month 2013 amounts includes expenses and transactions for the periods after the May 25, 2012 EP acquisition date. Nine month 2013 and, three and nine month 2012 amounts include $1 million, $3 million and $32 million, respectively, in severance allocated to EPB from us; however, EPB does not have any obligation, nor did it pay any amounts related to this expense.

(e) Three and nine month 2013 amounts include (i) $2 and $20 million, respectively, of amortization of capitalized financing fees which are associated with KMI’s remaining debt issued to finance the cash portion of the EP acquisition purchase price; and (ii) $3 million and $10 million, respectively, of interest on margin for marketing contracts. Three and nine month 2012 amounts include $95 million and $104 million, respectively, of capitalized financing fees, almost all of which was associated with the EP acquisition financing, that was written-off (primarily due to debt repayment) or amortized.

(f) Three and nine month 2013 amounts include decreases in interest expense of $1 million and $3 million, respectively, associated with debt fair value adjustments recorded in purchase accounting for KMP’s Copano acquisition. Nine month 2013 amount and three and nine month 2012 amounts include increases in interest expense of $15 million, $26 million, and $45 million, respectively, all attributable to KMP’s drop-down asset groups for periods prior to the acquisition dates. Three and nine month 2012 amounts also include a $1 million increase in expense attributable to incremental fees related to KMP’s prior short-term bridge loan credit facility.

Items not attributable to any segment include general and administrative expenses, unallocable interest income and income tax expense, interest expense, and net income (loss) 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 and because we manage our business based on our reportable business segments and not on the basis of our ownership structure, 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 used for evaluating segment performance, and each of our segment’s EBDA includes all costs directly incurred by that segment.

Combined, the certain items described in footnotes (a) and (b) to the table above decreased KMI’s general and administrative expenses by $6 million and $340 million, respectively, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, when compared with the same prior year periods. Excluding the certain items discussed above, KMI’s general and administrative expenses for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 when compared to the same prior year periods was essentially flat.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the certain items described in footnote (c) to the table above accounted for decreases of $30 million and $58 million, respectively, in KMP’s general and administrative expenses, when compared to the same two periods a year ago. The remaining $20 million (18%) and $67 million (21%), respectively, period-to-period increases in expense were driven by KMP’s acquisition of additional businesses, primarily associated with acquisition of both the drop down asset groups from us, effective August 1, 2012 and March 1, 2013, and its acquisition of Copano, effective May 1, 2013.

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.  Combined, the certain items described in footnote (e) to the table above decreased KMI’s interest expense by $90 million and $74 million, respectively, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, when compared with the same prior year periods. Our remaining interest expense, net of interest income, decreased by $46 million (28%) in the third quarter of 2013 and increased by $57 million (19%) in the first nine months of 2013 when compared with the same prior year periods. The decrease in KMI’s interest expense in the third quarter of 2013, when compared to the respective 2012 period, resulted primarily from payments made in 2013 which reduced

82

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

the remaining outstanding balance of the EP acquisition debt. The increase in KMI’s interest expense during the first nine months of 2013, when compared to the same 2012 period was primarily due to interest expense incurred in 2013 from (i) KMI’s remaining debt issued to finance the cash portion of the May 2012 EP acquisition purchase price; and (ii) debt assumed in the EP acquisition, see Notes 2 and 3 “Acquisitions” and “Debt” respectively, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

After taking into effect the certain item described in footnote (f) to the table above, KMP’s net interest expense increased $49 million (28%) and $173 million (38%), respectively, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, when compared to the same year-earlier periods. The increases were primarily due to higher average debt levels and partly due to higher effective interest rates.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, KMP’s average debt balance increased by 10% and 15%, respectively, when compared to the same periods a year ago. The increases were largely due to the capital expenditures, business acquisitions (including debt assumed from the drop-down transactions), and joint venture contributions KMP has made since the end of the third quarter of 2012. KMP also realized a 9% increase in the weighted average interest rate on all of its borrowings in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, when compared to the same 2012 periods (including both short-term and long-term borrowing amounts, KMP’s average interest rate increased from 4.28% for the third quarter of 2012 to4.66% for the third quarter of 2013, and increased from 4.26% for the first nine months of 2012 to4.63% for the first nine months of 2013). The increases in average interest rates were driven primarily by higher rates on the debt obligations KMP assumed as part of the drop-down transactions.

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 September 30, 2013, approximately 41% of KMI’s and 27% of KMP’s debt balances (excluding the 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” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

EPB’s 2012 interest expense represents amounts incurred from the May 25, 2012 EP acquisition date through September 30, 2012.

Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, which represents the allocation of our consolidated net income (or loss) attributable to all outstanding ownership interests in our consolidated subsidiaries (primarily KMP and EPB) that are not held by us, increased $210 million (382%) and $1,289 million (826 %), respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 as compared with the same prior year periods.  The increase was primarily due to our noncontrolling interest’s portion of (i) KMP’s $558 million gain from the remeasurement of its previously held 50% equity interest in Eagle Ford to fair value; (ii) KMP’s $140 million after-tax gain on the sale of its investments in the Express pipeline system; (iii) the additional income from EP assets acquired by KMP from us; and (iv) the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 included $179 million and $934 million, respectively, net of tax loss from both costs to sell and the remeasurement of KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipeline disposal group net assets to fair value.

Income Taxes

Our tax expense from income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 is approximately $171 million as compared with tax expense of $60 million for the same period of 2012. The $111 million increase in tax expense is primarily due to (i) higher income in 2013 attributable to KMI as a result of our investments in KMP and EPB and expenses incurred by us in 2012 in connection with the EP acquisition; (ii) an adjustment in 2012 to non-tax deductible costs incurred to facilitate the EP acquisitions; and (iii) adjustments to our income tax reserve for uncertain tax positions. These increases are partially offset by the tax impact of our 2013 sale of our investment in a Pakistan power plant.

Our tax expense from income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is $675 million and $165 million, respectively. The $510 million increase in tax expense was primarily due to (i) higher 2013 income attributable to KMI primarily as a result of our investments in KMP and EPB; (ii) tax expense as a result of KMP’s 2013 sale of its one-third interest in the Express-Platte pipeline; and (iii) a decrease in our share of non-tax deductible goodwill associated with our investment in KMP primarily due to KMP’s acquisition of Copano. These increases are partially offset by (i) the impact of non tax-deductible costs incurred to facilitate the 2012 EP acquisition and (ii) the tax benefit in 2013 of a decrease in the deferred state tax rate as a result of the drop-down of our 50% ownership interests in EPNG and EP midstream assets and KMP’s Copano acquisition.

Financial Condition

General

As of September 30, 2013, we had a combined $816 million of “Cash and cash equivalents” on our consolidated balance sheet (included elsewhere in this report), an increase of $102 million (14%) from December 31, 2012.  As of September 30, 2013, KMI had approximately $156 million of borrowing capacity available under its $1.75 billion senior secured revolving credit facility. KMI intends to refinance its short-term debt through additional credit facility borrowings to replace maturing credit facility borrowings, issuing new long-term debt, or with proceeds from asset sales. As of September 30, 2013, KMP had approximately $2.3 billion of borrowing capacity available under its $2.7 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility and EPB (through its wholly-owned subsidiary, EPPOC) had approximately $1.0 billion of borrowing capacity available under its $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility.  We believe our cash position, KMP and EPB’s remaining borrowing capacity and our access to financial resources are adequate to allow us to manage our day-to-day cash requirements and anticipated obligations (see “—Short-term Liquidity” below).

We have relied primarily on cash provided from operations to fund our operations as well as our debt interest payments, sustaining capital expenditures, and quarterly dividend payments and our subsidiaries’ quarterly distributions.

Expansion capital expenditures, acquisitions and debt principal payments, as such debt principal payments become due, 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; and (iv) issuance of common units by KMP or EPB.

In addition, KMP has funded a portion of its historical expansion capital expenditures with retained cash, which results primarily from including 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 waived incentive distributions to KMGP, KMP’s general partner (discussed further below in “—KMP”).

Credit Ratings and Capital Market Liquidity

Our and our subsidiaries’ credit ratings affect our ability to access the public and private debt markets (including the commercial paper market by KMP), as well as the terms and pricing of our debt. Based on our and our subsidiaries’ credit ratings as discussed below, we and our subsidiaries expect that our respective short-term liquidity needs will be met primarily through short-term borrowings. Nevertheless, our and our subsidiaries’ ability to satisfy financing requirements or fund planned capital expenditures (including planned expenditures of our joint ventures) will depend upon future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in the energy pipeline and terminals industries and other financial and business factors, some of which are beyond our control.

On February 27, 2013, Moody’s Investor Services (Moody’s) modified its rating on KMI’s senior secured debt ratings from a negative to a stable outlook. On March 31, 2013, S&P updated its rating on KMI’s senior secured debt rating from a stable to a positive outlook.

Currently, KMP’s long-term corporate debt credit rating is BBB (stable), Baa2 (stable) and BBB (stable), at Standard and Poor’s Rating Services (S&P), Moody’s and Fitch Ratings (Fitch), respectively. KMP’s short-term corporate debt credit rating is A-2 (susceptible to adverse economic conditions, however, capacity to meet financial commitments is satisfactory), Prime-2 (strong ability to repay short-term debt obligations) and F2 (good quality grade with satisfactory capacity to meet financial commitments), at S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, respectively. Currently, EPB’s long-term corporate debt rating is BBB- (positive), Ba1 (positive), and BBB- (stable), at S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, respectively.

Short-term Liquidity

As of September 30, 2013, our principal sources of short-term liquidity were (i) KMP’s $2.7 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a diverse syndicate of banks that matures May 1, 2018; (ii) KMP’s $2.7 billion short-term commercial paper program (which is supported by its credit facility, with the amount available for borrowing under its credit facility being reduced by its outstanding commercial paper borrowings and letters of credit); (iii) EPB’s $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility that matures May 27, 2016; (iv) KMI’s $1.75 billion senior secured credit facility that matures December 31, 2014; and (v) cash from operations.  KMI intends to refinance its short-term debt through additional credit facility borrowings to replace maturing credit facility borrowings, issuing new long-term debt, or with proceeds from

84

asset sales. The loan commitments under the facilities can be used to fund borrowings for the respective entity’s general corporate or partnership purposes, and KMP’s facility can be used as a backup for its commercial paper program.  In addition, EPB’s credit facility is expandable to $1.5 billion for certain expansion projects and acquisitions.  We provide for additional liquidity by maintaining a sizable amount of excess borrowing capacity related to our credit facilities (discussed following).  Additionally, we have consistently generated strong cash flow from operations, providing a source of funds of $2,777 million and $1,927 million in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively (the period-to-period increase is discussed below in “—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; and (ii) outstanding borrowings under KMI and EPB’s credit facilities, and KMP’s commercial paper program (supported by its credit facility).

$1.0 billion, five-year secured revolver, due May 2016	$	—	$	1,000

Our combined balance of short-term debt as of September 30, 2013 was $2,973 million, primarily consisting of (i) $1,688 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 5.00% senior notes that mature December 15, 2013; (iii) a combined $293 million of borrowings outstanding under EP credit facilities; and (iv) $207 million in principal amount of EP’s 6.875% senior notes that mature on June 15, 2014. KMP intends to refinance its current short-term debt through a combination of long-term debt, equity, and/or the issuance of additional commercial paper borrowings or credit facility borrowings to replace maturing commercial paper and current maturities.  KMI intends to refinance its short-term debt through additional credit facility borrowings to replace maturing credit facility borrowings, issuing new long-term debt, or with proceeds from asset sales. Our combined balance of short-term debt as of December 31, 2012 was $2,401 million.

We had working capital deficits of $2,824 million and $1,554 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The overall $1,270 million(82)% unfavorable change from year-end 2012 was primarily due to (i) a net increase in KMI’s credit facility borrowings; (ii) an increase in “Accrued other current liabilities,” due largely to certain transportation rate case liabilities being reclassified from long-term liabilities to short-term liabilities; (iii) a net increase in KMI and its subsidiaries (excluding KMP and EPB and its subsidiaries) current maturities; and (iv) the sale of the Express System and BBPP Holdings Ltda which were included at December 31, 2012 within “Assets held for sale” in our consolidated balance sheet included elsewhere in this report. The overall increase in our working capital deficit was partially offset by a net decrease in KMP’s commercial paper borrowings. 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”).

Long-term Financing

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the 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 $32,199 million and $30,154 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.

85

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

Proceeds from the March 2013 drop-down transaction were used to pay down $947 million of the EP acquisition debt in the first quarter of 2013 and $239 million in the second quarter of 2013 using proceeds from the sale of the remainder of the EPC building note to third parties. We anticipate that we will continue to reduce our debt balance with proceeds from future drop-down transactions.

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 (as discussed above in “—Credit Ratings and Capital Market Liquidity”).

KMI and some of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (referred to as the Combined Other Guarantor Subsidiaries), guarantee the payment of certain of El Paso LLC’s (formerly known as El Paso Corporation) outstanding debt. As of the successor date of August 13, 2012, each series of El Paso LLC outstanding notes in aggregate principal amount became guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by KMI and the Combined Other Guarantor Subsidiaries. As of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately $3.9 billion in aggregate principal amount of these series of El Paso LLC senior notes is outstanding. See Note 15 “Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

For additional information about our debt-related transactions in the first nine months of 2013, see Note 3 “Debt” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.  For additional information regarding our debt securities, see Note 8 “Debt” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 Form 10-K. 

Capital Expenditures

We define sustaining capital expenditures as capital expenditures which do not increase the capacity of an asset, and generally, we and our subsidiaries (including KMP and EPB) fund our sustaining capital expenditures with existing cash or from cash flows from operations. In addition to utilizing cash generated from their own operations, certain of our subsidiaries can each fund their own cash requirements for expansion capital expenditures with proceeds from issuing their own long-term notes or with proceeds from contributions received from us or their other member owners.

All of our and our subsidiaries’ capital expenditures, with the exception of sustaining capital expenditures, are classified as discretionary. Generally, KMP and EPB’s discretionary capital expenditures are initially funded through borrowings under the respective revolving credit facilities of KMP and EPB, or for KMP its commercial paper program, until the amount borrowed is of a sufficient size to cost effectively offer either debt, or equity, or both. For the year 2013, we expect to invest over $4 billion for our capital expansion program, which includes small acquisitions and contributions to joint ventures, but excludes KMP’s acquisition of Copano.

86

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and the amount we expect to spend for the remainder of 2013 to grow and sustain our businesses are as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013		Remaining 2013			Total
Sustaining capital expenditures (a)
KMP	$	210		$	133		$	343

 _______

(a) Nine month 2013 amount, 2013 remaining amount, and Total 2013 amount include $23 million, $15 million, and $38 million, respectively, for our proportionate share of sustaining capital expenditures of unconsolidated joint ventures.

(b) Nine month 2013 amount (i) includes discretionary capital expenditures of unconsolidated joint ventures and acquisitions, which amounted to $493 million; (ii) includes $239 million of a net increase in accrued capital expenditures; and (iii) excludes $104 million primarily related to contributions from KMP’s non-controlling interests to fund a portion of certain capital projects. Amounts include capital expenditures of Copano, its subsidiaries and unconsolidated joint ventures, after KMP’s May 1, 2013 acquisition date, but exclude the Copano acquisition.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our net cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for each period presented.

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	102		$	364		$	(262	)

Operating Activities

The net increase of $850 million (44%) in cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the respective 2012 period was primarily attributable to:

▪ a $1 billion increase in cash from overall higher net income after adjusting our period-to-period $2 billion increase in net income for non-cash items primarily consisting of higher net gains from both the sale and the remeasurement of net assets to fair value; the first nine months 2013 gain on the sale of KMP’s investments in the Express Pipeline System; deferred income taxes; depreciation, depletion and amortization; and an increase in expenses associated with adjustments to transportation rate case liabilities and legal liabilities; and

▪ a $205 million decrease associated with net changes in working capital items and non-current assets and liabilities, primarily driven by a decrease in cash due to unfavorable changes in accounts payables and current liabilities, including, among many other things, lower short-term net dock premiums and toll collections received from KMP’s Trans Mountain pipeline system customers, and lower collections on natural gas transportation and exchange imbalance payable. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in cash due to changes in the collection and payment of trade and related party receivables and rate case payments.

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

Investing Activities

The $4,327 million net increase in cash provided by investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the respective 2012 period was primarily attributable to:

▪ a $4,750 million increase from the acquisitions of assets and investments from unrelated parties primarily driven by the $4,970 million net outlay of cash in 2012 for the EP acquisition;

▪ a combined $490 million increase from the proceeds received in the first nine months of 2013 from both KMP’s sale of the investments in the Express pipeline system (as discussed in Note 2 “Acquisitions and Divestiture—Express Pipeline System” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report) and our sale of BBPP Holdings Ltda; and

▪ an $871 million decrease in cash due to higher capital expenditures, as described above in “—Capital Expenditures.”

Financing Activities

The net decrease of $5,414 million in cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the respective 2012 period was primarily attributable to:

▪ a $4,369 million net decrease in cash from overall debt financing activities primarily due to (i) $5,288 billion decrease due to the EP acquisition debt issued in the second quarter of 2012; (ii) a $1,475 million increase resulting from the $1,186 million of repayments made on the acquisition debt in 2013 primarily funded by the cash portion of the drop-down transactions, compared to $2,661 million of repayments made on the EP acquisition debt in 2012. Further information regarding the acquisition debt and EPNG and Midstream drop-down transaction is discussed in Note 2 “Acquisitions and Divestiture—Drop-Down of EP Assets to KMP” and Note 3 “Debt,” respectively, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report; and (iii) a $550 million net decrease in cash from our and our subsidiaries other debt repayments and debt issuances, as summarized below.

	KMI			KMP			EPB			Total

Additional information regarding our and our subsidiaries debt activities is discussed in Note 3 “Debt;”

▪ a $386 million decrease in cash due to higher dividend payments;

▪ a $367 million decrease in cash associated with distributions to non-controlling interests, primarily reflecting the increased distributions to common unit owners by KMP and EPB. Further information regarding KMP and EPB’s distributions are included in Note 4 “Stockholders’ Equity—Noncontrolling Interests—Distributions” in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report; and

▪ a $327 million decrease in cash due to higher repurchase of warrants.

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. The division of our dividends prior to December 26, 2012 among our classes of capital stock was in accordance with our charter. 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 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 $1.60 per share for 2013 which exceeds our original 2013 budget guidance of $1.57 per share and is a 14% increase over our 2012 declared dividends. Growth in 2013 is being driven by continued strong performance at KMP, including contributions from KMP’s acquisition of Copano on May 1, 2013, along with contributions from EPB and the natural gas assets that KMI acquired in the May 2012 EP transaction. Please read “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements” below.

On December 26, 2012, the remaining outstanding shares of our Class A, Class B, and Class C common stock were converted into Class P shares and as of December 31, 2012 only our Class P common stock was outstanding. Prior to the above common stock conversions, dividends on our Class A, Class B and Class C common stock (investor retained stock) generally were paid at the same time as dividends on our common stock and were based on the aggregate number of shares of common stock into which our investor retained stock was convertible on the record date for the applicable dividend. The portion of our dividends payable on the three classes of our investor retained stock varied among those classes, but the variations did not affect the dividends we paid on our common stock since the total number of shares of common stock into which our investor retained stock could convert in the aggregate was fixed on the closing of our initial public offering.

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.

KMP

At September 30, 2013, we owned, directly, and indirectly in the form of i-units corresponding to the number of shares of KMR we owned, approximately 43 million limited partner units of KMP. These units, which consist of 22 million common units, 5 million Class B units and 16 million i-units, represent approximately 10.0% 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 September 30, 2013, our limited partner and general partner interests represented approximately 11.7% 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 2012 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.

89

Table of Contents Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

For further information about the partnership distributions KMP paid in the third quarters of 2013 and 2012 (for the second quarterly periods of 2013 and 2012, respectively), see Note 4 “Stockholders’ Equity—Noncontrolling Interests—Distributions” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

On October 16, 2013, KMP declared a cash distribution of $1.35 per unit for the third quarter of 2013 (an annualized rate of $5.40 per unit). This distribution is 7% higher than the $1.26 per unit distribution KMP made for the third quarter of 2012.

On May 13, 2013, KMP announced an increase in the amount of cash distributions it expects to declare for the year 2013. Currently, KMP expects to declare cash distributions of $5.33 per unit for 2013, up from its 2013 published annual budget amount of $5.28 per unit. The increase was primarily based on projected contributions from KMP’s Copano acquisition, which closed on May 1, 2013. KMP’s current expected distributions of $5.33 per unit represent a 7% increase over its cash distributions of $4.98 per unit for 2012. KMP expects the Copano acquisition to be approximately $0.10 per unit accretive to KMP for at least the next five years beginning in 2014. Please read “—Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

As a result of KMP’s Copano acquisition, KMGP, as general partner of KMP, has agreed to forego $75 million of its incremental incentive distributions in 2013 (foregoing equal amounts of $25 million from each of its second, third and fourth quarter incentive distribution amounts), and intends to forgo incentive distribution amounts of $120 million in 2014, $120 million in 2015, $110 million in 2016, and annual amounts thereafter decreasing by $5 million per year from the 2016 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 NGLs, and while KMP hedges the majority of its crude oil production, it does have exposure on its unhedged volumes, the majority of which are NGLs volumes. KMP’s 2013 budget assumes an average WTI crude oil price of approximately $91.68 per barrel (with some minor adjustments for timing, quality and location differences) in 2013, 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 2013 budget), KMP currently expects the average price of WTI crude oil will be approximately $99.14 per barrel in 2013. For 2013, 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 $6 million on a full year basis (or approximately 0.1% of KMP’s combined business segments’ anticipated EBDA). This sensitivity to the average WTI price is very similar to what KMP experienced in 2012.

EPB

As of September 30, 2013, we owned approximately 90 million limited partner units of EPB, representing approximately 41% 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 2012 Form 10-K contains additional information concerning EPB’s partnership distribution.

On October 16, 2013, EPB declared a cash distribution of $0.65 per unit for the third quarter of 2013 (an annualized rate of $2.60 per unit). EPB expects to declare cash distributions of $2.55 per unit for 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, 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 September 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
