Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

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

See “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (2015 Form 10-K) and Item 1A “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this report for a more detailed description of factors that may affect the forward-looking statements. You should keep these risk factors in mind when considering forward-looking statements. These risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Because of these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. We plan to provide updates to projections included in this report when we believe previously disclosed projections no longer have a reasonable basis.

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

1.  General
 
Organization

We are the largest energy infrastructure company in America. We own an interest in or operate approximately 84,000 miles of pipelines and 180 terminals. Our pipelines transport natural gas, refined petroleum products, crude oil, condensate, CO2 and other products, and our terminals transload and store petroleum products, ethanol and chemicals, and handle such products as coal, petroleum coke and steel. We are also the leading producer and transporter of CO2, which is utilized for enhanced oil recovery projects in North America.

Basis of Presentation
 
General

Our reporting currency is U.S. dollars, and all references to dollars are U.S. dollars, unless stated otherwise. Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These rules and regulations conform to the accounting principles contained in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, the single source of GAAP. Under such rules and regulations, all significant intercompany items have been eliminated in consolidation.

In our opinion, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results for the interim periods have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. 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 2015 Form 10-K.

Impairments and Divestitures

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded non-cash pre-tax losses on impairments and divestitures netting to $76 million and $307 million, respectively. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 included (i) an $84 million loss on the sale of a 50% interest in our SNG natural gas pipeline system; (ii) losses of $1 million and $9 million, respectively, on a held-for-sale Transmix facility within our Products Pipelines business segment; and (iii) a $9 million net gain and a $3 million net loss, respectively, on other asset disposals. The nine months ended September 30, 2016 also included (i) $106 million of project write-offs on our Northeast Energy Direct (NED) Market project within our Natural Gas Pipelines business segment; (ii) a $21 million project write-off within our CO2 business segment; (iii) a $20 million impairment related to certain terminals with significant coal operations within our Terminals business segment; and (iv) $64 million of write-offs associated with our Palmetto project within our Products Pipelines business segment. The project write-offs recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were driven by management's assessment of the probability of those projects moving forward based on insufficient progress in obtaining contractual commitments from customers in the New England market, in the case of the NED Market project, and an unfavorable action by the Georgia legislature regarding permitting for refined products pipelines affecting the Palmetto project.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded non-cash pre-tax losses on impairments and divestitures netting to $385 million and $489 million, respectively. These amounts include (i) $99 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of impairments and project write-offs related to certain gas gathering and processing assets within our midstream operations of our Natural Gas Pipelines business segment; (ii) $388 million and $397 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, within our CO2 business segment primarily related to our Goldsmith oil and gas field, primarily driven by a decrease in commodity prices; and (iii) $3 million and $7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, of net gains on other asset disposals.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded $350 million and $344 million, respectively, of non-cash pre-tax net losses on impairments and divestitures of equity investments, primarily related to an impairment of our equity investment in MEP within our Natural Gas Pipelines business segment. Based on commercial discussions during the third quarter of 2016 with current and potential shippers on MEP regarding the outlook for long-term transportation contract rates, we concluded the fair value of our investment was other than temporarily impaired, thereby resulting in a write-down of

9


our investment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded $26 million non-cash pre-tax losses on impairments of equity investments in certain gas gathering operations within our Natural Gas Pipelines business segment.

As conditions warrant, we routinely evaluate our assets for potential triggering events that could impact the fair value of certain assets or our ability to recover the carrying value of long-lived assets. Such assets include accounts receivable, equity investments, goodwill, other intangibles and property, plant and equipment, including oil and gas properties and in-process construction. Depending on the nature of the asset, these evaluations require the use of significant judgments including but not limited to judgments related to customer credit worthiness, future cash flow estimates, future volume and long-term contract rate expectations, current and future commodity prices, regulatory environment, management’s decisions to dispose of certain assets and estimates of the fair values of our reporting units, as well as general economic conditions and the related demand for products handled or transported by our assets. For example, to the extent future commodity prices are significantly lower than current market expectations and thereby unfavorably affect our customers’ investment decisions, we may identify additional triggering events that may require future evaluations of the recoverability of the carrying value of our long-lived assets, investments, and goodwill which could result in further impairment charges. Because certain of our assets, including our oil and gas producing properties, have been written down to fair value, any deterioration in fair value that exceeds the rate of depletion of the related asset would result in further impairments. Such non-cash impairments could have a significant effect on our results of operations, which would be recognized in the period in which the carrying value is determined to not be recoverable. Certain of these impairments are based on Level 3 estimates of fair value using income approach valuation methodologies which include assumptions regarding commodity prices, future cash flows, terminal values and discount rates. We believe our methodologies are standard techniques and results would not vary materially using a reasonable range of assumptions.

In the fourth quarter 2015, we recorded a $1,150 million impairment of goodwill associated with our Natural Gas Pipeline - Non-Regulated reporting unit triggered by decreases in market valuations in our industry which were caused by the commodity price environment at that time.  Our May 31, 2016 annual goodwill impairment test indicated our remaining goodwill is recoverable, and no event indicating a goodwill impairment has occurred subsequent to that date.

We expect that the carrying value of our Natural Gas Pipelines - Non-Regulated reporting unit will continue to approximate fair value so long as our estimate of future cash flows and the market valuation remain consistent with current levels.  A prolonged period of lower commodity prices could result in further deterioration of market multiples, comparable sales transactions prices, weighted average costs of capital, and our cash flow estimates.  Unfavorable changes to any one or combination of these factors, particularly for our Natural Gas Pipelines - Non-Regulated reporting unit, would result in a change to the reporting unit fair values which could lead to further impairment charges.  Such potential impairment could have a significant effect on our results of operations.

Earnings per Share
 
We calculate earnings per share using the two-class method. Earnings were allocated to Class P shares of common stock and participating securities based on the amount of dividends paid in the current period plus an allocation of the undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings to the extent that each security participates in earnings or excess distributions over earnings. Our unvested restricted stock awards, which may be stock or stock units issued to management employees and include dividend equivalent payments, do not participate in excess distributions over earnings.

2.  Acquisitions and Divestiture
 
Acquisition of Terminal Assets from and Joint Venture With BP Products North America Inc. (BP)

On February 1, 2016, we completed the acquisition of 15 products terminals and associated infrastructure from BP for $349 million, including a transaction deposit paid in 2015 and working capital adjustments paid in 2016. In conjunction with this transaction, we and BP formed a joint venture, with an equity ownership interest of 75% and 25%, respectively. Subsequent to the acquisition, we contributed 14 of the acquired terminals to the joint venture, which we operate, and the remaining terminal is solely owned by us. BP acquired its 25% interest in the joint venture for $84 million, which we reported as “Contributions from noncontrolling interests” within our accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Of the acquired assets, 10 terminals are included in our Terminals business segment and 5 terminals are included in our Products Pipelines business segment based on synergies with each segment’s respective existing operations.

Allocation of Purchase Price

The evaluation of the assigned fair values for the BP terminals acquisition is ongoing and subject to adjustment. As of September 30, 2016, our preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the BP terminals acquisition and the adjusted purchase price allocations for the Hiland acquisition and Royal Vopak terminals acquisition, both completed in February 2015, are detailed below (in millions).

_______
(a)
Primarily consists of customer contracts and relationships with a weighted average amortization period of 16.4 years.

After measuring all of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value on the acquisition date, goodwill is an intangible asset representing the future economic benefits expected to be derived from an acquisition that are not assigned to other identifiable, separately recognizable assets.  We believe the primary items that generated our goodwill are both the value of the synergies created between the acquired assets and our pre-existing assets, and our expected ability to grow the business we acquired by leveraging our pre-existing business experience. We apply a look through method of recording deferred income taxes on the outside book-tax basis differences in our investments. As a result, no deferred income taxes are recorded associated with non-deductible goodwill recorded at the investee level.

Sale of Equity Interest in SNG

On September 1, 2016, we completed the sale of a 50% interest in our SNG natural gas pipeline system to The Southern Company (Southern Company), receiving proceeds of $1.4 billion, and the formation of a joint venture, which includes our remaining 50% interest in SNG. We used the proceeds from the sale to reduce outstanding debt (see Note 3). We recognized a pre-tax loss of $84 million on the sale of our interest in SNG which is included within “Loss on impairments and divestitures, net” on the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. As a result of this transaction, we no longer hold a controlling interest in SNG or Bear Creek Storage Company, LLC (Bear Creek) (50% of which is owned by SNG) and, as such, we now account for our remaining equity interests in SNG and Bear Creek as equity investments.

3. Debt

We classify our debt based on the contractual maturity dates of the underlying debt instruments.  We defer costs associated with debt issuance over the applicable term. These costs are then amortized as interest expense in our accompanying consolidated statements of income.

_______
(a)
On January 26, 2016, we entered into a $1.0 billion three-year unsecured term loan facility with a variable interest rate, which is determined in the same manner as interest on our revolving credit facility borrowings. In January 2016, we repaid $850 million of maturing 5.70% senior notes, and in February 2016, we repaid $250 million of maturing 8.00% senior notes primarily using proceeds from the three-year term loan. Since we refinanced a portion of the maturing debt with proceeds from long-term debt, we classified $1 billion of the maturing debt within “Long-term debt” on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015.
(b)
Amount includes senior notes that are denominated in Euros and have been converted and are respectively reported above at the September 30, 2016 exchange rate of 1.1235 U.S. dollars per Euro and the December 31, 2015 exchange rate of 1.0862 U.S. dollars per Euro. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our debt balance increased by $47 million as a result of the change in the exchange rate of U.S. dollars per Euro. The increase in debt due to the changes in exchange rates is offset by a corresponding change in the value of cross-currency swaps reflected in “Deferred charges and other assets” and “ Other long-term liabilities and deferred credits” on our consolidated balance sheets. At the time of issuance, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements associated with these senior notes, effectively converting these Euro-denominated senior notes to U.S. dollars (see Note 5 “Risk Management—Foreign Currency Risk Management”).
(c)
On September 30, 2016, we repaid the $332 million principal amount of 7.125% senior notes due 2021, plus accrued interest. We recognized a $28.3 million gain from the early extinguishment of debt, included within “Interest, net” on the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 consisting of an $11.8 million premium on the debt repaid and a $40.1 million gain from the write-off of unamortized purchase accounting associated with the extinguished debt. Copano continues to be a subsidiary guarantor under a cross guarantee agreement (see Note 11).
(d)
On August 16, 2016, CIG completed a private offering of $375 million in principal amount of 4.15% senior notes due August 15, 2026. The net proceeds of $372 million received from the offering were used to reduce debt incurred as the result of the repayment of CIG’s senior notes that matured in 2015 and for general corporate purposes.
(e)
Due to the September 1, 2016 sale of a 50% interest in SNG, we no longer consolidate SNG’s accounts in our consolidated financial statements. As of the transaction date, SNG had $1,211 million of debt outstanding (including a current portion of $500 million).

13


(f)
Amounts include outstanding credit facility borrowings, commercial paper borrowings and other debt maturing within 12 months (see “—Current Portion of Debt” below).
(g)
Excludes our “Debt fair value adjustments” which, as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, increased our combined debt balances by $1,710 million and $1,674 million, respectively. In addition to all unamortized debt discount/premium amounts, debt issuance costs and purchase accounting on our debt balances, our debt fair value adjustments also include amounts associated with the offsetting entry for hedged debt and any unamortized portion of proceeds received from the early termination of interest rate swap agreements.

We and substantially all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are a party to a cross guarantee agreement whereby each party to the agreement unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, the payment of specified indebtedness of each other party to the agreement. Also, see Note 11.

Credit Facilities
 
On January 26, 2016, in accordance with the terms of our revolving credit agreement, we increased the capacity of our revolving credit agreement from $4.0 billion to $5.0 billion. The other terms of the revolving credit agreement remain the same. Our availability under this facility as of September 30, 2016 was $4,832 million, which is net of $168 million in letters of credit. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility can be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes and as a backup to our commercial paper program. Borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the borrowings allowed under our credit facility.

Current Portion of Debt
In addition to outstanding credit facility borrowings, commercial paper borrowings, and other debt maturing within 12 months, our current portion of debt includes the current portion of the following significant series of long-term notes:
As of September 30, 2016
 
$600 million 6.00% notes due February 2017
 
 
$300 million 7.50% notes due April 2017
 
 
$355 million 5.95% notes due April 2017
 
 
$786 million 7.00% notes due June 2017
 
 
$749 million 7.25% notes originally due October 2020 (see “—Subsequent Event” below)
 
 
 
As of December 31, 2015
 
$500 million 3.50% notes due March 2016
 
Long-term Debt Issuances, Repayments and Other Significant Changes in Debt
The following are significant long-term debt issuances, repayments and other significant changes made during the nine months ended September 30, 2016:
  Issuances
 
$1.0 billion unsecured term loan facility due 2019
 
 
$375 million 4.15% notes due 2026
 
 
 
  Repayments

$67 million 8.25% notes due 2016
 
 
$332 million 7.125% notes due 2021
 
 
 
Other significant changes
 
$1,211 million reduction due to the deconsolidation of SNG, including a current portion of $500 million (see Note 2)

Subsequent Event
On October 1, 2016, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of a 50% interest in SNG was used to repay the $749 million principal amount of Hiland’s 7.25% senior notes due 2020, plus accrued interest. As of September 30, 2016, funds for this early extinguishment were held in escrow as a restricted deposit and included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet

14


within “Restricted deposits.” As of September 30, 2016, we classified the $749 million of senior notes as “Current portion of debt” within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
4.  Stockholders’ Equity
 
Common Equity
 
As of September 30, 2016, our common equity consisted of our Class P common stock. For additional information regarding our Class P common stock, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Form 10-K.

On July 20, 2016, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $24.375 per share of our mandatory convertible preferred stock (equivalent of $1.21875 per depositary share) for the period from and including July 26, 2016 through and including October 25, 2016, which is payable on October 26, 2016 to mandatory convertible preferred shareholders of record as of October 11, 2016.

5.  Risk Management
 
Certain of our business activities expose us to risks associated with unfavorable changes in the market price of natural gas, NGL and crude oil.  We also have exposure to interest rate and foreign currency 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. In addition, prior to May 2016, we had power forward and swap contracts related to legacy operations of acquired businesses.

As of September 30, 2016, the maximum length of time over which we have hedged, for accounting purposes, our exposure to the variability in future cash flows associated with energy commodity price risk is through December 2020.

Interest Rate Risk Management

 As of September 30, 2016, we had a combined notional principal amount of $9,775 million of fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements, all of which were designated as fair value hedges.  As of December 31, 2015, we had a combined notional principal amount of $11,000 million of fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements, of which $9,700 million were designated as fair value hedges. All of our swap agreements effectively convert the interest expense associated with certain series of senior notes from fixed rates to variable rates based on an interest rate of London Interbank Offered Rate plus a spread and have termination dates that correspond to the maturity dates of the related series of senior notes. As of September 30, 2016, 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.

Foreign Currency Risk Management

In connection with the issuance of our Euro denominated senior notes in March 2015 (see Note 3), we entered into $1,358 million cross-currency swap agreements to manage the related foreign currency risk by effectively converting all of the fixed-rate Euro denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to U.S. dollar denominated debt at fixed rates equivalent to approximately 3.79% and 4.67% for the 7-year and 12-year senior notes, respectively. These cross-currency swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The terms of the cross-currency swap agreements correspond to the related hedged senior notes, and such agreements have the same maturities as the hedged senior notes.

_____
(a)
We expect to reclassify an approximate $49 million gain associated with cash flow hedge price risk management activities included in our accumulated other comprehensive loss balances as of September 30, 2016 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).
(c)
Amounts represent our share of an equity investee’s accumulated other comprehensive loss.

_______
(a) Three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 includes an approximate gain of $20 million and $59 million, respectively, associated with natural gas, crude and NGL derivative contract settlements. Three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes an approximate gain of $19 million and $21 million, respectively, associated with natural gas, crude and NGL derivative contract settlements.

Credit Risks
In conjunction with certain derivative contracts, we are required to provide collateral to our counterparties, which may include posting letters of credit or placing cash in margin accounts.  As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had no and $2 million, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit supporting our commodity price risk management program. As of September 30, 2016, we had cash margins of $16 million posted by us as collateral and no amounts posted by our counterparties as collateral. As of December 31, 2015, we had no cash margins posted by us as collateral and cash margins of $37 million posted by our counterparties as collateral. We also use industry standard commercial agreements which allow for the netting of exposures associated with transactions executed under a single commercial agreement. Additionally, we generally utilize master netting agreements to offset credit exposure across multiple commercial agreements with a single counterparty.
 
We also have agreements with certain counterparties to our derivative contracts that contain provisions requiring the posting of additional collateral upon a decrease in our credit rating.  As of September 30, 2016, based on our current mark to market positions and posted collateral, we estimate that if our credit rating were downgraded one or two notches, we would not be required to post additional collateral.
