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, 2013 (2013 Form 10-K) for a more detailed description of factors that may affect the forward-looking statements. When considering forward-looking statements, one should keep in mind the risk factors described in our 2013 Form 10-K. The 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.

Basis of Presentation
General
Our reporting currency is U.S. dollars, and all references to dollars are U.S. dollars, except where stated otherwise. Canadian dollars are designated as C$.
Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. Additionally, 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 2013 Form 10-K.
Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries including 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.
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 10, “Litigation, Environmental and Other Contingencies — 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.

Goodwill
We evaluate goodwill for impairment on May 31 of each year. 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.
Earnings per Share
We calculate earnings per share 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 months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the following potential weighted-average Class P common shares are antidilutive and, accordingly, are excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share; (i) 7 million and 2 million, respectively, related to unvested restricted stock awards; (ii) 341 million and 439 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 available to shareholders for Class P shares and for participating securities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):

| Three Months Ended March 31,
| 2014 |  | 2013
| Net Income Available to Shareholders
Class P | $ | 284 |  |  | $ | 291 |
Participating securities(a) | 3 |  |  | 1 |
Net Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. | $ | 287 |  |  | $ | 292 |

_______

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

2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions
American Petroleum Tankers and State Class Tankers
Effective January 17, 2014, KMP acquired American Petroleum Tankers (APT) and State Class Tankers (SCT) for aggregate consideration of $960 million in cash, subject to purchase price adjustments (the APT acquisition). KMGP, as KMP’s general partner, has agreed to waive incentive distribution amounts of $13 million for 2014, $19 million for 2015 and $6 million for 2016 to facilitate the transaction.
APT is engaged in the marine transportation of crude oil, condensate and refined products in the U.S. domestic trade, commonly referred to as the Jones Act trade. APT’s primary assets consist of a fleet of five medium range Jones Act qualified product tankers, each with 330 MBbl of cargo capacity, and each operating pursuant to long-term time charters with high quality counterparties, including major integrated oil companies, major refiners and the U.S. Navy. The vessels’ time charters have an average remaining term of approximately four years, with renewal options to extend the initial terms by an average of two years. APT’s vessels are operated by Crowley Maritime Corporation.
SCT has commissioned the construction of four medium range Jones Act qualified product tankers, each with 330 MBbl of cargo capacity. The SCT vessels are scheduled to be delivered in 2015 and 2016 and are being constructed by General Dynamics’ NASSCO shipyard. KMP expects to invest approximately $214 million to complete the construction of the vessels. Upon delivery, the SCT vessels will be operated pursuant to long-term time charters with a major integrated oil company. Each of the time charters has an initial term of five years, with renewal options to extend the initial term by up to three years. The APT acquisition complements and extends KMP’s existing crude oil and refined products transportation business, and all of the acquired assets are included in the Terminals—KMP business segment.

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

As of March 31, 2014 , KMP’s preliminary purchase price allocation related to the APT acquisition, as adjusted to date, is as follows (in millions). The evaluation of the assigned fair values is ongoing and subject to adjustment.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation: |
Current assets | $ | 2 |
Property, plant and equipment | 887 |
Goodwill | 68 |
Other assets | 3 |
Total assets acquired | 960 |
Cash consideration | $ | 960 |

The “Goodwill” intangible asset amount represents the future economic benefits expected to be derived from KMP’s acquisition that are not assignable to other individually identifiable, separately recognizable assets acquired. We believe the primary items that generated the goodwill are the value of the synergies created by expanding KMP’s non-pipeline liquids handling operations, and we expect the entire amount to be deductible for tax purposes.
Other
Effective May 1, 2013, 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 common unit on the NYSE on the May 1, 2013 issuance date).
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 decreased by $260 million for the portion of its outside basis difference associated with KMP’s underlying goodwill.
Effective June 1, 2013, KMP acquired certain oil and gas properties, rights, and related assets located in the Goldsmith Landreth San Andres oil field unit in the Permian Basin of West Texas from Legado Resources LLC for an aggregate consideration of $298 million, consisting of $280 million in cash and assumed liabilities of $18 million (including $12 million of long-term asset retirement obligations).
For additional information about KMP’s Copano and Goldsmith Landreth acquisitions (including our preliminary purchase price allocations as of December 31, 2013), see Note 3 “Acquisitions and Divestitures—Business Combinations and Acquisitions of Investments” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Divestitures
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 $1 million in the second quarter of 2013 for both a final working capital settlement and certain transaction related selling expenses), and we reported the $403 million in proceeds received in the first quarter of 2013 within “Proceeds from sales of investments” within the investing section of our accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows. Additionally, we recognized a combined $225 million pre-tax gain with respect to this sale in the first quarter of 2013, and we reported this gain amount separately as “Gain on 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 gain on sale for the three month period, and we included this expense within “Income Tax Expense.” 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.
BBPP Holdings Ltda
On January 18, 2013, we completed the sale of our equity interests in the Bolivia to Brazil Pipeline for $88 million, which amount is included in “Proceeds from sale of investments” within the investing section of our accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows.
KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines Disposal Group – Discontinued Operations
As discussed in our 2013 Form 10-K, we sold KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group to Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP (now known as Tallgrass Development, LP) (Tallgrass) effective November 1, 2012. KMP and Tallgrass trued up the final consideration for the sale of KMP’s 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.
Subsequent Event—Drop-down of Assets to EPB
On April 28, 2014, EPB announced that it will acquire from us our 50% interest in Ruby Pipeline, our 50% interest in Gulf LNG and our 47.5% interest in Young Gas Storage in May 2014. The terms of this drop-down transaction were approved on our behalf by the independent members of our board of directors and on EPB’s behalf by its general partner's board of directors following the receipt of separate fairness opinions from different investment banks.

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

(b) | Excludes debt fair value adjustments. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our “Debt fair value adjustments” increased our combined debt balances by $1,969 million and $1,977 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—Debt Fair Value Adjustments.”

(c) | As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the average interest rates on KMP’s outstanding commercial paper borrowings were 0.26% and 0.28%, respectively. The borrowings under KMP’s commercial paper program were used principally to finance the acquisitions and capital expansions made during the first three months of 2014, 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.

(d) | Amounts include outstanding commercial paper borrowings discussed above in footnote (c).

(e) | LIBOR plus 1.75%.

Credit Facilities
KMI
As of March 31, 2014, we had $410 million outstanding under KMI’s $1.75 billion senior secured credit facility and $75 million in letters of credit. Our availability under this facility as of March 31, 2014 was approximately $1,265 million.
KMP
As of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, KMP had no borrowings under its $2.7 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing May 1, 2018. Borrowings under KMP’s revolving credit facility can be used for general partnership purposes and as a backup for KMP’s commercial paper program. Similarly, KMP’s borrowings under its commercial paper program reduce the borrowings allowed under its credit facility.
As of March 31, 2014, KMP had $419 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding under its $2.7 billion credit facility and $202 million in letters of credit. KMP’s availability under its credit facility as of March 31, 2014 was $2,079 million.
EPB
As of March 31, 2014, EPB had no outstanding balance under its revolving credit facility. EPB’s availability under its facility as of March 31, 2014 was approximately $1 billion.
Changes in Debt
On January 15, 2014, in anticipation of the APT acquisition, KMP entered into a short-term unsecured liquidity facility with KMP as borrower, and UBS as administrative agent. This liquidity facility provided for borrowings of up to $1.0 billion from a syndicate of financial institutions and was scheduled to mature on July 15, 2014. Additionally, in conjunction with the establishment of this liquidity facility, KMP increased its commercial paper program to provide for the issuance of up to $3.7 billion (up from $2.7 billion). KMP made no borrowings under this liquidity facility, and after receiving the cash proceeds from both its February 2014 public offering of senior notes (described following) and its February 2014 public offering of common units (described in Note 4 “Stockholder’s Equity—Noncontrolling Interests—Contributions”), KMP terminated the liquidity facility and decreased its commercial paper program to again provide for the issuance of up to $2.7 billion.
On February 24, 2014, KMP completed a public offering of a total $1.5 billion in principal amount of senior notes in two separate series. KMP received net proceeds of $743 million from the offering of $750 million in principal amount of 3.50% senior notes due March 1, 2021, and $739 million from the offering of $750 million in principal amount of 5.50% senior notes due March 1, 2044. KMP used the proceeds from its February 2014 debt offering to reduce the borrowings under its commercial paper program (by reducing the incremental commercial paper borrowings KMP made in January 2014 to fund its APT acquisition).
In February 2014, SLNG repaid $71 million of 9.50% senior notes.

Noncontrolling Interests
The caption “Noncontrolling interests” in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets consists of interests that we do not own in the following subsidiaries (in millions):

| March 31, 2014 |  | December 31, 2013
KMP | $ | 7,995 |  |  | $ | 7,642 |
EPB | 4,147 |  |  | 4,122 |
KMR | 3,183 |  |  | 3,142 |
Other | 309 |  |  | 286 |
| $ | 15,634 |  |  | $ | 15,192 |

Contributions
Contributions from our noncontrolling interests consist primarily of equity issuances by KMP, EPB and KMR. As of March 31, 2014, each of these subsidiaries has an equity distribution agreement in place which allows the subsidiary to sell its equity interests from time to time through a designated sales agent. The terms of each agreement are substantially similar. Sales of the subsidiary’s equity interests will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed between the subsidiary equity issuer and its sales agent. The subsidiary equity issuer may also sell its equity interests to its sales agent as principal for the sales agent’s own account at a price agreed upon at the time of the sale. Any sale of the subsidiary’s equity interests to the sales agent as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement between the subsidiary equity issuer and its sales agent. The equity distribution agreement provides the subsidiary with the right, but not the obligation to offer and sell its equity units or shares, at prices to be determined by market conditions. The subsidiary retains at all times complete control over the amount and the timing of sales under its respective equity distribution agreement, and it will designate the maximum number of equity units or shares to be sold through its sales agent, on a daily basis or otherwise as the subsidiary equity issuer and its sales agent agree.

Represents share distributions made in the period to noncontrolling interests and excludes 284,288 and 234,478 of shares distributed in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, on KMR shares we directly and indirectly own. On April 16, 2014, KMR declared a share distribution of 0.018700 shares per outstanding share (2,386,814 total shares) payable on May 15, 2014 to shareholders of record as of April 30, 2014, based on the $1.38 per common unit distribution declared by KMP.

Distributions Subsequent to March 31, 2014
Noncontrolling Interests Distributions
On April 16, 2014, KMP declared a cash distribution of $1.38 per unit for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014. The distribution will be paid on May 15, 2014 to KMP’s unitholders of record as of April 30, 2014.
On April 16, 2014, EPB declared a cash distribution of $0.65 per unit for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014. The distribution will be paid on May 15, 2014 to EPB’s unitholders of record as of April 30, 2014.
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 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, NGL and crude oil. None of these derivatives are designated as accounting hedges.

Energy Commodity Price Risk Management
As of March 31, 2014, KMI and KMP had entered into 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 | (24.0) |  | MMBbl
Natural gas fixed price | (23.0) |  | Bcf
Natural gas basis | (23.0) |  | Bcf
Derivatives not designated as hedging contracts |  |  |

Natural gas fixed price | (13.1) |  | Bcf
Natural gas basis | (8.3) |  | Bcf
NGL fixed price | (1.0) |  | MMBbl

As of March 31, 2014, 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 2018.
Interest Rate Risk Management
As of March 31, 2014, KMI and KMP had a combined notional principal amount of $725 million and $5,175 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 March 31, 2014, 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.
As of December 31, 2013, KMI and KMP had a combined notional principal amount of $725 million and $4,675 million, respectively, of fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements. In February 2014, KMP entered into four separate fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements having a combined notional principal amount of $500 million. These agreements effectively convert a portion of the interest expense associated with KMP’s 3.50% senior notes due March 1, 2021, from a fixed rate to a variable rate based on an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread.

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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, these fair value adjustments to our debt balances included (i) $1,340 million and $1,379 million, respectively, associated with fair value adjustments to our debt previously recorded in purchase accounting; (ii) $198 million and $143 million, respectively, associated with the offsetting entry for hedged debt; (iii) $501 million and $517 million, respectively, associated with unamortized premium from the termination of interest rate swap agreements; and offset by (iv) $70 million and $62 million, respectively, associated with unamortized debt discount amounts. As of March 31, 2014, the weighted-average amortization period of the unamortized premium from the termination of the interest rate swaps was approximately 16 years.

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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, KMP had no outstanding letters of credit supporting its hedging of energy commodity price risks associated with the sale of natural gas, NGL and crude oil. As of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, KMI had $167 million 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 us to post additional collateral upon a decrease in their credit rating. As of March 31, 2014, we estimate that if KMP’s credit rating 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 $25 million of incremental collateral. As of March 31, 2014, 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.

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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, based on the three levels established by the Codification. Also, certain of our derivative contracts are subject to master netting agreements. The following tables present our derivative contracts subject to such netting agreements as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in millions):

(b) | Cash margin deposits held by KMP associated with its energy commodity contract positions and OTC swap agreements and reported within “Other current liabilities” in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(c) | Cash margin deposits posted by KMP associated with energy commodity contract positions and OTC swap agreements and reported within “Other current assets” in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The table below provides a summary of changes in the fair value of our Level 3 energy commodity derivative contracts for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):

The amount of total gains or (losses) for the period included in earnings attributable to the change in unrealized gains or (losses) relating to assets held at the reporting date | $ | 3 |  |  | $ | (1 | )

As of March 31, 2014, our Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities consisted primarily of WTI options, WTI basis swaps, NGL options, NGL swaps 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 our management’s best estimate of fair value.

Total debt | $ | 37,211 |  |  | $ | 37,917 |  |  | $ | 36,193 |  |  | $ | 36,248 |

We used Level 2 input values to measure the estimated fair value of our outstanding debt balances as of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
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 NGL;

• | CO 2—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 CO 2 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 and jet fuel), NGL, crude oil and condensate, and bio-fuels;

• | Terminals—KMP—the transportation, transloading and storing of refined petroleum products, crude oil 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 other miscellaneous assets and liabilities purchased in our 2012 EP acquisition including (i) our corporate headquarters in Houston, Texas; (ii) several physical natural gas contracts with power plants associated with EP’s legacy trading activities; and (iii) other miscellaneous EP assets and liabilities.

We evaluate performance principally based on each segment’s EBDA (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 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. Financial information by segment follows (in millions):

9. 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 March 31,
| 2014 |  | 2013
Income tax expense | $ | 200 |  |  | $ | 279 |
Effective tax rate | 25 | % |  | 30 | %

Tax expense from income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is approximately $200 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 25% for continuing operations, as compared with $279 million tax expense and an effective tax rate of 30%, for the same period of 2013. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 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 and (ii) dividend-received deductions from our 50% interest in Florida Gas Pipeline (through our investment in Citrus Corporation). These decreases are partially offset by (i) state income taxes; (ii) a decrease in our share of non-tax deductible goodwill associated with our investments in KMP; (iii) adjustments to our income tax reserve for uncertain tax positions; and (iv) the amortization of the deferred charge recorded as a result of the August 2012 and March 2013 drop-down transactions to KMP.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 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 provisions; (ii) dividend-received deductions from our 50% investment in Florida Gas Pipeline; and (iii) the tax impact 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. These decreases are partially offset by state income taxes and the amortization of the deferred charge recorded as a result of the August 2012 and March 2013 drop-down transactions to KMP.

10. 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 KMP may include in its 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 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. EPNG implemented certain aspects of that decision and believes it has an appropriate reserve related to the findings in Opinion 517. 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. The FERC ordered EPNG to file within 60 days of issuance of Opinion 528 revised pro forma recalculated rates consistent with the terms of Opinion 528. The FERC has ordered additional proceedings concerning one of the issues in Opinion 528. EPNG has filed for rehearing on certain issues in Opinion 528. We have evaluated all recent decisions and believe our reserve is appropriate.
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 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
30

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

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 2014.
On July 19, 2013, Calnev filed an application with the CPUC requesting a 36% increase in its intrastate rates. A decision from the CPUC approving the requested rate increase was issued on November 14, 2013.
On November 27, 2013, the CPUC issued its Order to Show Cause directing SFPP to demonstrate whether or not the CPUC should require immediate refund payments associated with various pending SFPP rate matters. Subsequently, the CPUC issued an order directing SFPP and its shippers to engage in mandatory settlement discussions. On April 3, 2014, the CPUC issued its ruling suspending proceedings in all pending SFPP matters until October 1, 2014 or the date upon which SFPP and its shippers inform the CPUC that SFPP and its shippers have reached settlement of all pending matters or have failed to do so. If the matter is not settled, a decision addressing, if not resolving, all pending SFPP rate matters at the CPUC is anticipated in the first quarter of 2015.
Based on KMP’s review of these CPUC proceedings and the shipper comments thereon, it estimates that the shippers are requesting approximately $400 million in reparation payments and approximately $30 million in annual rate reductions. The actual amount of reparations will be determined through settlement negotiations or further proceedings at the CPUC. As of March 31, 2014, we believe our legal reserve is adequate such that the resolution of pending CPUC matters will not have a material adverse impact on KMP’s business, financial position or results of operations. Furthermore, we do not expect any reparations that KMP would pay in this matter to impact the per unit cash distributions it expects to pay to its limited partners for 2014.
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 $14 million subject to annual consumer price index increases. Judgment was entered by the Court on May 29, 2012 and SFPP appealed the judgment. If the judgment is upheld on appeal, SFPP would owe approximately $93 million in back rent. Accordingly, KMP increased its rights-of-way liability to cover this potential liability for back rent. In addition, the judge determined that UPRR is entitled to approximately $20 million for interest through the date of the judgment on the outstanding back rent liability. KMP believes the award of interest is without merit and are pursuing our appellate rights. By notice dated October 25, 2013, UPRR demanded the payment of $22.25 million in rent for the first year of the next ten-year period beginning January 1, 2014. SFPP rejected the demand and the parties are pursuing the dispute resolution procedure in their contract to determine the rental adjustment, if any, for such period.
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
31

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

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. On March 10, 2014, the trial court issued a tentative statement of decision addressing all of the causes of action and defenses and resolved those matters against SFPP, consistent with the jury’s verdict. If the tentative statement of decision and jury verdict become final and are affirmed on appeal, SFPP will be required to pay a judgment of at least $22.6 million. UPRR has also requested the trial court award prejudgment interest and costs to UPRR. SFPP is continuing to evaluate 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 our financial position, our results of operations, our cash flows, and our distributions to our 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 our subsidiary 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 U.S. 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. A bench trial occurred in November 2013. On March 6, 2014, the Court issued findings of fact and conclusions of law and entered judgment against KMBT in the amount of $13.79 million. KMBT has filed a notice of appeal of the judgment.
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. Under the Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement with Kinetica, Kinetica has agreed to indemnify TGP in connection with the gas commitment and reporting claims. The suit was removed to federal court and Plains has filed a motion to remand. We 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 EP, El Paso Pipeline GP Company, L.L.C., the general partner of EPB, and the directors of the 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 Company L.L.C, CPG and interests in SNG and CIG. The lawsuits allege various conflicts of interest and that the consideration paid by EPB was excessive. Defendants’ motion to dismiss in Brinckerhoff I was denied in part. Brinckerhoff I and II have been consolidated into one proceeding. The parties’ motions for summary judgment are pending. 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,
32

and Defendants’ motion for summary judgment is pending. 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 were pending in Nevada federal court, were dismissed, but the dismissal was reversed by the 9 th Circuit Court of Appeals. A petition for certiorari is pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 our total reserve for legal matters was $665 million and $624 million, respectively. The reserve primarily relates to various claims from regulatory proceedings arising from KMP’s products pipeline and natural gas pipeline transportation rates.

Slotoroff v. Kinder Morgan, Inc., Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., et al.
On February 5, 2014, a putative class action and derivative complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (Case No. 9318) against defendants KMI, KMGP and nominal defendant KMEP. The suit was filed by Jon Slotoroff, a purported unitholder of KMEP and seeks to assert claims both individually and on behalf of a putative class consisting of all public holders of KMEP units during the period of February 5, 2011 through the date of the filing of the suit. The suit alleges direct and derivative causes of action for breach of the partnership agreement, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, aiding and abetting, and tortious interference. Among other things, the suit alleges that defendants made a bad faith allocation of capital expenditures to expansion capital expenditures rather than maintenance capital expenditures for the alleged purpose of “artificially” inflating KMEP’s distributions and growth rate. The suit seeks disgorgement of any distributions to KMGP, KMI and any related entities, beyond amounts that would have been distributed in accordance with a “good faith” allocation of maintenance capital expenses, together with other unspecified monetary damages including punitive damages and attorney fees. On March 3, 2014, nominal defendant KMEP and defendants KMI and KMGP moved to dismiss this suit. Defendants believe that this suit is without merit and intend to defend it vigorously.
Burns et al v. Kinder Morgan, Inc. Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc. et al
On March 27, 2014, a putative class action and derivative complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (Case No. 9479) against defendants KMI, KMGP and nominal defendant KMEP. The suit was filed by Darrell Burns and Terrence Zehrer, purported unitholders of KMEP, and seeks to assert claims both individually and on behalf of a putative class consisting of all public holders of KMEP units during the period of February 5, 2011 through the date of the filing of the suit. The suit asserts claims and allegations substantially similar to the suit filed by Jon Slotoroff described above. On April 8, 2014, the Court ordered that this suit be consolidated for all purposes with the suit filed by Jon Slotoroff described above and that the caption of the consolidated action shall be In Re Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. Derivative Litigation, Consolidated Case No. 9318.

Walker v. Kinder Morgan, Inc., Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc. et al
On March 6, 2014, a putative class action and derivative complaint was filed in the District Court of Harris County, Texas (Case No. 2014-11872 in the 215th Judicial District) against KMI, KMGP, KMR, Richard D. Kinder, Steven J. Kean, Ted A. Gardner, Gary L. Hultquist, Perry M. Waughtal and nominal defendant KMEP. The suit was filed by Kenneth Walker, a purported unitholder of KMEP, and alleges direct and derivative causes of action for alleged violation of duties owed under the partnership agreement, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, “abuse of control” and “gross mismanagement” in connection with the calculation of distributions and allocation of capital expenditures to expansion capital expenditures and maintenance capital expenditures. The suit seeks unspecified money damages, interest, punitive damages, attorney and expert fees, costs and expenses, unspecified equitable relief, and demands a trial by jury. Defendants believe that this suit is without merit and intend to defend it vigorously. On April 9, 2014, the Court entered an order staying the case until the defendants’ motion to dismiss is decided in the suit filed by Jon Slotoroff described above.
Environmental Matters
We and our subsidiaries are subject to environmental cleanup and enforcement actions from time to time. In particular, 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 CO 2 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. 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, NGL, natural gas and CO 2.
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 Corporation (Occidental) and others under the New Jersey Spill Act for contamination in the Newark Bay Complex including numerous waterways and rivers. In 2009, Occidental et al. asserted claims for contribution against approximately 300 third party defendants. NJDEP claimed damages related to 40 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 named as a third party defendant because of the noted hazardous substances language and because the Carteret, New Jersey facility (a former GATX Terminals Corporation facility) is located on the Arthur Kill River, one of the waterways included in the litigation. KMLT, as part of a joint defense group, entered a settlement agreement (the Consent Judgment) with the NJDEP whereby the settling parties for a prescribed payment, obtained a contribution bar against first party defendants Occidental, Maxus Energy Corp. (Maxus) and Tierra Solutions, Inc. (Tierra) in addition to a release of claims. The Consent Judgment was published in the New Jersey Register for a 60-day comment period and no significant comments were received. Additionally, the NJDEP reached a settlement agreement with Maxus and Tierra. Occidental is not part of the settlement. On December 12, 2013, the Court approved the settlements. Pursuant to the Consent Judgment, KMLT submitted its settlement payment by the January 27, 2014 deadline and received the Court's order dismissing KMLT from the litigation.

Portland Harbor Superfund Site, Willamette River, Portland, Oregon
In December 2000, the EPA issued 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 (RI/FS) 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. KMEP is participating in the allocation process on behalf of both KMLT and KMBT. Each entity has two facilities located in Portland Harbor. KMEP expects the allocation process to conclude in 2015. KMEP also expects the LWG to complete the RI/FS process in 2015, after which the EPA is expected to develop a proposed plan leading to a Record of Decision targeted for 2017. It is anticipated that the cleanup activities will 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
The Roosevelt Irrigation District sued KMGP, KMEP and others under CERCLA for contamination of the water purveyor's wells. The First Amended Complaint sought $175 million in damages against approximately 70 defendants. On August 6, 2013 plaintiffs filed its Second Amended Complaint seeking monetary damages in unspecified amounts and reducing the number of defendants to 26 including KMEP and SFPP. The claims now presented against KMEP and SFPP are related to alleged releases from a specific parcel within the SFPP Phoenix Terminal and the alleged impact of such releases on water wells owned by the plaintiffs and located in the vicinity of the Terminal. On October 24, 2013, we moved to dismiss this suit.
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 was 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. On April 9, 2013, KMLT and the Port of Los Angeles entered into a settlement 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 agreement, we received a five-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 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 agreed to pay a percentage of the City’s costs to perform the required cleanup at the site. Cleanup activities by the Port began in the first quarter of 2014.
Paulsboro, New Jersey Liquids Terminal Consent Judgment
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 in Gloucester County, New Jersey against ExxonMobil and KMLT, formerly known as GATX Terminals Corporation, alleging natural resource damages related to historic contamination at the 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, which was also joined as a party to the lawsuit.
In mid-2011, KMLT and Plains Products entered into a settlement agreement and subsequent Consent Judgment with the NJDEP which resolved the state’s alleged natural resource damages 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 an 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. We are awaiting approval from the NJDEP in order to begin remediation activities.
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 U.S. 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 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 U.S. 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 (RWQCB). 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 RWQCB’s 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. KMP 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 20 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 U.S. 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 federal government agencies toward the cost of environmental activities associated with the mines, given their pervasive control over all aspects of the nuclear weapons program.
PHMSA Inspection of Carteret Terminal, Carteret, New Jersey
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 the PHMSA, pursuant to which KMLT paid a penalty of $63,100 and is required to complete ongoing pipeline integrity testing and other corrective measures by May 2015.

Lower Passaic River Study Area of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site, Essex, Hudson, Bergen and Passaic Counties, New Jersey
EPEC Polymers, Inc. (EPEC Polymers) and EPEC Oil Company Liquidating Trust (EPEC Oil 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 lower 17-mile stretch of the Passaic River. It has been alleged that EPEC Polymers and EPEC Oil Trust may be 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 EPEC Oil Trust entered into two Administrative Orders on Consent (AOCs) which obligate them to investigate and characterize contamination at the Site. They are also part of a joint defense group of approximately 70 cooperating parties (CPG) which have entered into AOCs and are directing and funding the work required by the EPA. Under the first AOC, a remedial investigation and feasibility study of the Site is presently estimated to be completed by 2015. 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 and installation of a cap. The dredging was completed in 2013 and capping work is ongoing. We have established a reserve for the anticipated cost of compliance with the AOCs.
On April 11, 2014, the EPA announced the issuance of its Focused Feasibility Study (FFS) for the lower eight miles of the Passaic River Study Area, and its proposed plan for remedial alternatives to address the dioxin sediment contamination from the mouth of Newark Bay to River Mile 8.3. The EPA estimates the cost for the alternatives will range from $365 million to $3.2 billion. The EPA’s preferred alternative would involve dredging the river bank-to-bank and installing an engineered cap at an estimated cost of $1.7 billion. In its FFS, the EPA stated that it has identified over 100 industrial facilities as potentially responsible parties and it is likely that there are hundreds more private and public entities that could be named in any litigation concerning responsibility for the Site contamination.
No final remedy for this portion of the Site will be selected until the public comment and response period for the FFS is completed and the Record of Decision (ROD) is issued by EPA, which is expect in early 2015. Until the ROD is issued there is uncertainty about what remedy will be implemented and the extent of potential costs. There is also uncertainty as to the impact of the RI/FS that the CPG is currently preparing for portions of the Site. Therefore, the scope of potential EPA claims for the lower eight miles of the Passaic River is not reasonably estimable at this time.
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, SNG and approximately 100 other 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. On September 10, 2013, the Flood Protection Authority filed a motion to remand the case to the state district court for Orleans Parish. On December 18, 2013, a hearing was conducted on the remand motion and it remains under consideration by the court.
Plaquemines Parish Louisiana Coastal Zone Litigation
On November 8, 2013, the Parish of Plaquemines, Louisiana filed a petition for damages in the state district court for Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana (Docket No. 60-999) against TGP and 17 other energy companies, alleging that defendants’ oil and gas exploration, production and transportation operations in the Bastian Bay, Buras, Empire and Fort Jackson oil and gas fields of Plaquemines Parish caused substantial damage to the coastal waters and nearby lands (Coastal Zone) within the Parish, including the erosion of marshes and the discharge of oil waste and other pollutants which detrimentally affected the quality of state waters and plant and animal life, in violation of the State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act of 1978 (Coastal Zone Management Act). As a result of such alleged violations of the Coastal Zone Management Act, Plaquemines Parish seeks, among other relief, unspecified monetary relief, attorney fees, interest, and payment of costs necessary to restore the allegedly affected Coastal Zone to its original condition, including costs to clear, vegetate and detoxify the Coastal Zone. On December 18, 2013, defendants removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. On January 14, 2014, the plaintiff filed a motion to remand the case to state court and such motion remains pending.

Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Notice of Alleged Violations
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) has notified TGP of alleged violations of certain conditions to the construction permits issued to TGP for the construction of TGP’s 300 Line Project in 2011. The alleged violations arise from field inspections performed during construction by county conservation districts, as delegates of the PADEP, and generally involve the alleged failure by TGP to implement and maintain best practices to achieve sufficient erosion and sediment controls, stabilization of the right of way, and prevention of potential discharge of sediment into the waters of the commonwealth during construction and before placing the line into service. To resolve such alleged violations, the PADEP initially proposed a collective penalty of approximately $1.5 million. TGP and the PADEP are seeking to reach a mutually agreeable resolution of the alleged notices of violations, including an agreed penalty amount.
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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have accrued a total reserve for environmental liabilities in the amount of $366 million and $378 million, respectively, of which$200 million and $208 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 both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have recorded a receivable of $14 million 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.
11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Updates

13. Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries
KMI had guaranteed the payment of the outstanding senior notes issued by El Paso LLC (formerly known as El Paso Corporation) as a result of the EP acquisition. These notes were also guaranteed by El Paso, 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. The aggregate principal amount of these series of El Paso LLC senior notes are referred to as the “Guaranteed Notes”. On October 3, 2013, El Paso LLC transferred substantially all of its 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. Prior to the internal restructuring, El Paso Holdco had been presented as the “Guarantor Subsidiary” and is now presented as one of the “Subsidiary Issuers.” KMI continues to guarantee the payment of the Guaranteed Notes. Finance Corp’s obligations as a co-issuer and primary obligor continue to be joint and several with the obligations of El Paso Holdco as issuer. As of both March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, approximately $3.8 billion of these guaranteed notes are outstanding. Subject to the limitations set forth in the applicable supplemental indentures, the guarantee of KMI is 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
39

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

no independent assets or operations. A significant amount of KMI’s income and cash flow are generated by its subsidiaries. As a result, the funds necessary to meet KMI’s debt service and/or guarantee obligations are provided in large part by distributions or advances from its subsidiaries. Included among the non-guarantor subsidiaries are KMP, KMR and EPB, along with KMGP, the general partner of KMP and El Paso Pipeline GP Company, L.L.C., the general partner of EPB. In the following condensed consolidating financial information, KMI is “Parent Guarantor,” and El Paso Holdco and Finance Corp are the “Subsidiary Issuers.” Both of the Subsidiary Issuers are 100% owned by KMI.

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 2013 Form 10-K; and (iii) our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our 2013 Form 10-K.
We prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
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 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 2013 Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
Non-GAAP Measures
The 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. Certain items are items that are required by GAAP to be reflected in net income, but typically either do not have a cash impact, or by their nature are separately identifiable from our normal business operations and, in our view, are likely to occur only sporadically.
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, operating income 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 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 months ended March 31, 2014 , and 2013 is as follows:

(a) | Based on (i) KMP distributions of $1.38 and $1.30 per common unit declared for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively; (ii) 454 million and 381 million aggregate common units, Class B units and i-units (collectively KMP units) outstanding as of April 30, 2014 and April 29, 2013, respectively; (iii) a waived incentive distribution of $3 million for the first quarter of 2014 related to KMP's APT acquisition; (iv) a waived incentive distribution of $4 million for the first quarter of 2013 related to KMP's acquisition of its initial 50% interest in May 2010, and subsequently, the remaining 50% interest in May 2011 of KinderHawk; and (v) a waived incentive distribution of $30 million for the first quarter of 2014 related to KMP's acquisition of Copano. In addition, we as the general partner of KMP, agreed to waive a portion of our future incentive distribution amounts equal to (i) $30 million for each of our second, third and fourth quarters in 2014, $120 million for 2015, $110 million for 2016, and annual amounts thereafter decreasing by $5 million per year from the 2016 level related to the Copano acquisition and (ii) $3.25 million for each of our second, third and fourth quarters in 2014, $19 million for 2015 and $6 million for 2016 related to KMP's APT acquisition.

(b) | Based on 28 million KMP units owned by us as of April 30, 2014 and April 29, 2013, multiplied by the KMP per unit distribution declared, as outlined in footnote (a) above.

(c) | Assumes that we sold the KMR shares that we received as distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We did not sell any KMR shares in the first three months of 2014 or 2013. We intend periodically to sell the KMR shares we receive as distributions to generate cash.

(d) | Based on (i) EPB distributions of $0.65 and $0.62 per common unit declared for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and (ii) 219 million and 216 million common units outstanding as of April 30, 2014 and April 29, 2013, respectively.

(e) | Based on 90 million EPB units owned by us as April 30, 2014 and April 29, 2013, multiplied by the EPB per unit distribution declared, as outlined in footnote (d) above.

Consolidated Earnings Results
With regard to our reportable business segments, we consider segment earnings before all DD&A expenses, and amortization of excess cost of equity investments to be an important measure of our success in maximizing returns to our shareholders. This measure, sometimes referred to in this report as segment EBDA, is more fully defined in footnote (a) to the “–Results of Operations” table below. 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.

_______

(a) | Includes revenues, earnings from equity investments, allocable interest income and other, net, less operating expenses, allocable income taxes, and other income, net. Operating expenses include natural gas purchases and other costs of sales, operations and maintenance expenses, and taxes, other than income taxes. Segment earnings include KMP’s allocable income tax expense of $9 million and $92 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(b) | 2014 and 2013 amounts include a decrease in earnings of $19 million and an increase in earnings of $125 million, respectively, related to the combined effect from all of the 2014 and 2013 certain items impacting continuing operations and disclosed below in our management discussion and analysis of segment results.

(c) | 2014 and 2013 amounts include decreases in expense of $4 million and $12 million, respectively, related to the combined effect from all of the 2014 and 2013 certain items related to general and administrative expenses disclosed below in “- General and Administrative, Interest, and Noncontrolling Interests”.

(d) | 2014 and 2013 amounts include increases in expense of $19 and $7 million, respectively, related to the combined effect from all of the 2014 and 2013 certain items related to interest expense, net of unallocable interest income disclosed below in “-General and Administrative, Interest, and Noncontrolling Interests”.

The certain items described in footnotes (b), (c) and (d) to the table above accounted for a $164 million decrease in income from continuing operations before unallocable income taxes in the first quarter of 2014, when compared to the same prior year period. After taking into effect these certain items, the remaining $111 million (16%) quarter-to-quarter increase in income from continuing operations before unallocable income taxes was largely driven by better performance in the first quarter of 2014 from the Natural Gas Pipelines, Terminals–KMP and CO 2–KMP business segments.

_______
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 its share of depreciation and amortization expenses less its share of sustaining capital expenditures.

The primary increases and decreases in our Natural Gas Pipelines business segment’s EBDA in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013 were attributable to the following:

• | incremental earnings of $80 million 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);

• | a $35 million (16%) increase from TGP, primarily due to higher revenues from (i) firm transportation and storage due largely to new projects placed in service since the end of the first quarter of 2013; (ii) usage and interruptible transportation services, due to both weather-related increases and higher short-haul volumes; and (iii) natural gas park and loan customer services, due also primarily to colder winter weather relative to the first quarter of 2013;

• | incremental earnings of $24 million from KMP’s total (100%) Eagle Ford natural gas gathering operations, due mainly to the incremental 50% ownership interest it acquired as part of its acquisition of Copano effective May 1, 2013 and to higher natural gas gathering volumes from the Eagle Ford shale formation; and

• | a $19 million (21%) increase from KMP’s Texas intrastate natural gas pipeline group, due largely to higher natural gas sales, transportation, and storage margins, all driven in part by colder weather in the first quarter of 2014.

n/a – not applicable

(a) | 2014 and 2013 amounts include unrealized losses of $3 million and unrealized gains of $2 million, respectively, all relating to derivative contracts used to hedge forecasted crude oil sales.

(b) | Includes McElmo Dome and Doe Canyon sales volumes.

(c) | Represents 100% of the production from the field. KMP owns an approximately 97% working interest in the SACROC unit, an approximately 50% working interest in the Yates unit, an approximately 99% working interest in the Katz Strawn unit and a 100% working interest in the Goldsmith Landreth unit.

(d) | Net to KMP, after royalties and outside working interests.

(e) | Includes all of KMP’s crude oil production properties.

(f) | Includes production attributable to leasehold ownership and production attributable to KMP’s ownership in processing plants and third party processing agreements.

The CO 2–KMP segment’s primary businesses involve the production, marketing and transportation of both CO 2 and crude oil, and the production and marketing of natural gas and NGL. We refer to the segment’s two primary businesses as its Oil and Gas Producing Activities and its Sales and Transportation Activities.
53

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

For each of the segment’s two primary businesses, following is information related to the increases and decreases, in the comparable three month periods of 2014 and 2013:
Three months ended March 31, 2014 versus Three months ended March 31, 2013

| EBDA increase/(decrease) |  | Revenues increase/(decrease)
| (In millions, except percentages)
Sales and Transportation Activities | $ | 20 |  |  | 22 | % |  | $ | 26 |  |  | 25 | %

Total CO 2–KMP | $ | 26 |  |  | 8 | % |  | $ | 59 |  |  | 14 | %

The quarter-to-quarter increase in EBDA from the segment’s sales and transportation activities was primarily revenue related, largely attributable to the following:

• | a $24 million (34%) increase in CO 2 sales revenues driven by an 18% increase in average sales prices. The increase in sales prices was due primarily to two factors: (i) a change in the mix of contracts resulting in more CO 2 being delivered under higher price contracts and (ii) heavier weighting of new CO 2 contract prices to the price of crude oil. CO 2 sales volumes were also higher by 14% in the first quarter of 2014 versus the first quarter of 2013.

The quarter-to-quarter increase 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, was largely due to the following:

• | a $37 million (13%) increase from higher crude oil sales revenues, due primarily to 6% increase in KMP’s realized weighted average price per barrel of crude oil, and partly due to higher oil sales volumes. Overall crude oil sales volumes increased 7% in the first quarter of 2014, when compared to the first quarter last year. The increase in sales volumes was due primarily to higher production at the Katz field unit, incremental production from the Goldsmith Landreth unit (acquired effective June 1, 2013), and higher production at the SACROC unit (volumes presented in the results of operations table above). The increase in revenue was partially offset by an increase in power costs that was due to higher gas and water volumes and market pricing. In addition, operating costs increased due to higher property taxes and severance taxes related to the increase in revenue. Incremental well work-over costs at KMP’s recently acquired Goldsmith property also contributed to an increase in operating expenses.

• | The $13 million increase from acquired assets and businesses relates primarily to the incremental earnings for the marine operations KMP acquired effective January 17, 2014 (KMP’s APT acquisition).

• | The higher earnings from KMP’s Gulf Liquids terminals were mainly due to higher liquids warehousing revenues from its 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, including new tankage from KMP’s expansion projects.

• | KMP also realized higher quarter-to-quarter earnings in 2014 from its West region terminals (driven by the completion of expansion projects since the end of the first quarter of 2013), its Gulf Bulk terminals (driven by higher volumes in the first quarter of 2014, due in large part to refinery and coker shutdowns in the first quarter of 2013 as a result of turnarounds taken), and its Gulf Central terminals (driven by higher earnings from BOSTCO, KMP’s oil terminal joint venture, of which it owns approximately 55%, located on the Houston Ship Channel that began operations in October 2013).

_______

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

The decrease in Trans Mountain’s earnings was driven by a $5 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. Due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar since the end of the first quarter of 2013, KMP translated Canadian denominated income and expense amounts into fewer U.S. dollars in 2014.
Other
Our other segment results are driven by activities from other miscellaneous assets and liabilities purchased in our 2012 EP acquisition that were not allocated to the above segments. There were earnings of $7 million and $4 million from this segment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

_______

(a) | 2014 amount includes decreases in expense of (i) $9 million related to post-merger pension credit; and (ii) $7 million elimination of intercompany rent expense included in KMP and EPB general and administrative expenses, partially offset by increases in expense of $3 million for other certain items. 2013 amount includes decreases in expense of (i) $15 million related to post-merger pension credit; (ii) $6 million elimination of intercompany rent expense included in KMP and EPB general and administrative expenses; and (iii) $5 million for other certain items.

(b) | For both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the NGPL Holdco LLC fixed fee revenues of $9 million 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) | 2014 amount includes (i) a $6 million increase in severance expense allocated to KMP from us (associated with both KMP’s March 2013 asset drop-down group and assets it acquired from us in August 2012; however, KMP does not have any obligation, nor did it pay any amounts related to this expense); (ii) a $1 million increase in expense associated with unallocated business acquisition costs; and (iii) a $1 million decrease in expense associated with capitalized overhead costs related to a certain Pacific operations litigation matter. 2013 amount also includes (i) a $9 million increase in expense attributable to KMP’s March 2013 drop-down asset group for periods prior to its March 1, 2013 acquisition date; (ii) a $4 million increase in expense associated with unallocated legal expenses and certain asset and business acquisition costs; and (iii) a $1 million increase in severance expense allocated to KMP from us (associated with both the March 2013 asset drop-down group and assets KMP acquired from us in August 2012); however, KMP does not have any obligation, nor did it pay any amounts related to this expense.

(d) | 2014 and 2013 amounts include (i) $2 million and $3 million, respectively, of amortization of capitalized financing fees which were associated with the EP acquisition and (ii) $6 million and $4 million, respectively, of interest on margin for marketing contracts.

(e) | 2014 amount includes a $13 million increase in interest expense associated with a certain Pacific operations litigation matter, and a $2 million decrease in interest expense associated with debt fair value adjustments recorded in purchase accounting for KMP’s Copano acquisition. 2013 amount includes a $15 million increase in interest expense attributable to KMP’s March 2013 drop-down asset group for periods prior to the March 1, 2013 acquisition date.

Items not attributable to any segment include general and administrative expenses, unallocable interest income and income tax expense, interest expense, and net income 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, 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 to evaluate 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 accounted for a $13 million increase in KMI’s general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2014, when compared to the same prior year period.
60

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

Excluding these certain items, KMI’s general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2014 when compared to the same prior year period were essentially flat.
The certain items described in footnote (c) to the table above accounted for an $8 million decrease in KMP’s general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2014, when compared to the same prior year period. The remaining $27 million (23%) quarter-to-quarter increase in expense was largely driven by the acquisition of additional businesses, associated primarily with KMP’s acquisition of both Copano (effective May 1, 2013) and the March 2013 drop-down asset group from us (effective March 1, 2013). Additional drivers were increased benefits costs and higher segment labor.
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. After taking into effect the certain items described in footnote (d) to the table above, KMI’s remaining unallocable interest expense increased $5 million (4%) in the first quarter of 2014, when compared to the first quarter of 2013. This increase was primarily due to the refinancing of short-term KMI credit facility debt with a $1.5 billion long-term debt issuance in November 2013, which had a higher interest rate. This increase was partially offset by (i) interest expense on the EP term loan before it was paid off in March 2013 with proceeds KMI received from the March 2013 drop-down transaction and (ii) a lower average outstanding balance on the KMI credit facility during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013.
After taking into effect the certain item described in footnote (e) to the table above, KMP’s unallocable interest expense increased $41 million (22%) in the first quarter of 2014, when compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase was driven by higher average debt levels (average borrowings for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 increased 16%, when compared to the same period a year ago), largely due to the capital expenditures, joint venture contributions and business acquisitions KMP has made since the end of the first quarter of 2013. T he weighted average interest rate on all of KMP’s borrowings-including both short-term and long-term borrowing amounts-was essentially flat across both three month periods (from 4.57% for the first quarter of 2013 to 4.60% for the first quarter of 2014).
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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately 28% and 27%, respectively, of KMI’s and 27% and 29%, respectively, of KMP’s consolidated debt balances (excluding 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.”
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, which represents the allocation of our consolidated net income attributable to all outstanding ownership interests in our consolidated subsidiaries (primarily KMP and EPB) that are not held by us, decreased $50 million (14%) for the first quarter of 2014 as compared with the same prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to our noncontrolling interest’s portion of KMP’s $141 million after-tax gain on the sale of its investments in the Express pipeline system in 2013.
Income Taxes
Our tax expense from income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is approximately $200 million as compared with tax expense of $279 million for the same period of 2013. The $79 million decrease in tax expense is primarily due to the tax expense in 2013 as a result of KMP’s sale of its one-third interest in the Express-Platte pipeline; partially offset by the tax benefit in 2013 of a decrease in the deferred state tax rate as a result of the March 2013 drop-down transaction.
Financial Condition
General
As of March 31, 2014, we had a combined $513 million of “Cash and cash equivalents” on our consolidated balance sheet (included elsewhere in this report), a decrease of $85 million (14%) from December 31, 2013. We believe our cash position and remaining borrowing capacity discussed below in “—Short-term Liquidity” and our access to financial resources are adequate to allow us to manage our day-to-day cash requirements and anticipated obligations.
We have relied primarily on cash provided from operations to fund our operations as well as our debt interest payments, sustaining capital expenditures, quarterly dividend payments and our subsidiaries’ quarterly distributions.
61

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

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; (iv) issuance of common units by KMP or EPB; (v) for KMP, retained cash which may result from distributing additional i-units to KMR rather than cash; and (vi) in some instances, proceeds from divestitures.
In addition, KMP has funded a portion of its historical expansion capital expenditures and working capital deficits with retained cash, including from 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 distributable cash flows generated in excess of what KMP distributes to its limited partners and KMGP.
Credit Ratings and Capital Market Liquidity
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.
In March 2014, Standard & Poor's Rating Services upgraded EPPOC's corporate credit rating to BBB from BBB- and revised EPPOC’s and KMI’s outlook from positive to stable. Moody’s Investor Services affirmed EPPOC’s corporate credit rating of Ba1 and revised its outlook from positive to stable.
Short-term Liquidity
As of March 31, 2014, our principal sources of short-term liquidity were (i) KMI, KMP and EPB’s respective credit facilities (discussed following); (ii) KMP’s $2.7 billion short-term commercial paper program; and (iii) cash from operations. 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. We provide for liquidity by maintaining a sizable amount of excess borrowing capacity related to our credit facilities and have consistently generated strong cash flow from operations, providing a source of funds of $1,118 million and $767 million in the first three months of 2014 and 2013, respectively (the period-to-period increase is discussed below in “Cash Flows—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).

Credit Facilities |  |  |
KMI |  |  |
$1.75 billion, six-year secured revolver, due December 2014 | $ | 410 |  |  | $ | 1,265 |
KMP |  |  |

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

Our combined balance of short-term debt as of March 31, 2014 was $2,412 million, primarily consisting of (i) $829 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 5.125% senior notes that mature November 15, 2014; (iii) $300 million in principal amount of KMP’s 5.625% senior notes that mature February 15, 2015; (iv) $250 million in principal amount of KMI’s 5.15% senior notes that mature March 1, 2015; (v) $207 million in principal amount of EP’s 6.875% senior notes that mature on June 15, 2014; and (vi) a combined $110 million of borrowings outstanding under EP credit facilities. KMP and EPB intend to refinance its respective current short-term debt through a combination of long-term debt, equity, and/or the issuance of additional commercial paper borrowings (for KMP) or credit facility borrowings to replace maturing commercial paper and current maturities of long-term debt. 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, 2013 was $2,306 million.
We had working capital deficits of $2,406 million and $2,207 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The overall $199 million (9)% unfavorable change from year-end 2013 was primarily due to (i) a net increase in KMI’s credit facility borrowings; and (ii) a net increase in KMI and KMP’s current maturities. 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the consolidated 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 $34,413 million and $33,062 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.
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’s (formerly known as El Paso Corporation) outstanding debt. As of the successor date of August 13, 2012, each series of El Paso outstanding notes in aggregate principal amount became guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by KMI and the Combined Other Guarantor Subsidiaries. As of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately $3.8 billion in aggregate principal amount of these series of El Paso senior notes is outstanding. See Note 13 “Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries.”
For additional information about our debt-related transactions in the first three months of 2014, see Note 3 “Debt.” For information regarding our debt securities, see Note 8 “Debt” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Form 10-K.
Capital Expenditures
We account for our capital expenditures in accordance with GAAP. Capital expenditures include those that are maintenance/sustaining capital expenditures and those that are capital additions and improvements (which we refer to as expansion, or discretionary capital expenditures). These distinctions are used when determining cash from operations pursuant to our subsidiaries’ MLP partnership agreements (which is distinct from GAAP cash flows from operating activities). Capital additions and improvements are those expenditures which increase throughput or capacity from that which existed immediately prior to the addition or improvement, and are not deducted in calculating cash from operations. Maintenance capital expenditures are those which maintain throughput or capacity. Thus under the MLP partnership agreements, the distinction between maintenance capital expenditures and capital additions and improvements is a physical determination rather than an economic one.
Generally, the determination of whether a capital expenditure is classified as maintenance or as capital additions and improvements is made on a project level. The classification of the MLP’s capital expenditures as capital additions and improvements or as maintenance capital expenditures under the MLP partnership agreements is left to the good faith determination of KMGP as KMP’s general partner and El Paso Pipeline GP Company, L.L.C. as EPB’s general partner, which is deemed conclusive.
Generally we fund our sustaining capital expenditures with existing cash or from cash flows from operations, and we initially fund our discretionary capital expenditures through borrowings under our credit facilities (or commercial paper program for KMP) until the amount borrowed is of a sufficient size to cost effectively replace the initial funding with long-term debt, or equity (including for KMP, retained cash related to its i-unit distributions to KMR), or both.

_______

(a) | Three-month 2014 amount, 2014 Remaining amount, and Total 2014 amount include $3 million, $65 million, and $68 million, respectively, for our proportionate share of sustaining capital expenditures of unconsolidated joint ventures.

(b) | Three-month 2014 amount (i) includes $71 million of discretionary capital expenditures of unconsolidated joint ventures and acquisitions; (ii) excludes a combined $116 million net change from accrued capital expenditures, contractor retainage and amounts primarily related to contributions from KMP’s noncontrolling interests to fund a portion of certain capital projects.

(c) | 2014 Remaining amount includes contributions to certain unconsolidated joint ventures and small acquisitions, net of contributions estimated from unaffiliated joint venture partners for consolidated investments.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
There have been no material changes in our obligations with respect to other entities that are not consolidated in our financial statements that would affect the disclosures presented as of December 31, 2013 in our 2013 Form 10-K.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our net cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for each period presented.

| Three Months Ended March 31, |  |
| 2014 |  | 2013 |  | Increase/(Decrease)
| (In millions)
Net cash provided by (used in): |  |  |  |  |

Operating Activities
The net increase of $351 (46%) million in cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the respective 2013 was primarily attributable to:

• | a $193 million increase in cash from overall higher net income after adjusting our period-to-period $55 million decrease in net income for non-cash items primarily consisting of the 2013 gain on the sale of KMP’s investments in the Express pipeline system; DD&A; and deferred income taxes; and

• | a $173 million increase associated with net changes in working capital items and non-current assets and liabilities. The overall increase in cash was driven primarily by higher cash inflows from favorable changes in trade receivables.

64

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

Investing Activities
The $1,703 million net increase in cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the respective 2013 was primarily attributable to:

• | a $960 million increase in cash used due to the payment KMP made in January 2014 for the APT acquisition (discussed in Note 2 “Acquisitions and Divestitures”);

• | a combined $491 million of proceeds received in 2013 from both KMP’s sale of the investments in the Express pipeline system and our sale of BBPP Holding Ltds (both discussed in Note 2 “Acquisitions and Divestitures”); and

• | a $247 million increase in cash used in 2014 due to higher capital expenditures, as described above in “—Capital Expenditures.”

Financing Activities
The net increase of $879 million in cash from financing activities in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the respective 2013 was primarily attributable to:

• | an $874 million net increase in cash from overall debt financing activities primarily due to $947 million of repayments made on the acquisition debt in the first quarter of 2013;

• | a $219 million increase in contributions provided by noncontrolling interests, primarily reflecting the following (i) the $240 million incremental proceeds received from the sales of additional KMP common units in the first quarter of 2014 versus the respective 2013 period; and (ii) the $14 million incremental proceeds EPB received from the issuance of its common units in the first quarter of 2014 versus the respective 2013 period excluding the common units issued to its general partner. These increases were partially offset by a $35 million decrease in other noncontrolling interests contributions, mainly due to the contributions KMP received from its BOSTCO partners in the first quarter of 2013;

• | a $104 million decrease in cash associated with distributions to noncontrolling interests, primarily reflecting the increased distributions to common unit owners by KMP and EPB;

• | a $69 million decrease in cash due to higher combined repurchases of shares and warrants; and

• | a $41 million decrease in cash due to higher dividend payments.

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. 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.

Three months ended |  | Total quarterly dividend per share for the period |  | Date of declaration |  | Date of record |  | Date of dividend

We expect to declare dividends of $1.72 per share for 2014, an 8% increase over our 2013 declared dividends of $1.60 per share. Growth in 2014 is expected to being driven by continued strong performance at KMP and contributions from EPB. The growth at KMI from KMP and EPB will be partially offset by the loss of income from the 2013 sales (drop-downs) of certain assets to KMP, and the budgeted and recently announced 2014 sales (drop-downs) of certain assets to EPB. On April 28, 2014, EPB announced that it will acquire from us our 50% interest in Ruby Pipeline, our 50% interest in Gulf LNG and our 47.5% interest in Young Gas Storage in May 2014. The terms of this drop-down transaction were approved on our behalf by the independent members of our board of directors and on EPB’s behalf by its general partner's board of directors following the receipt of separate fairness opinions from different investment banks.
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 March 31, 2014, 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 9.7% 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 March 31, 2014, our limited partner and general partner interests represented approximately 11.5% 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 2013 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. For further information about the partnership distributions KMP paid in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013 (for the fourth quarterly periods of 2013 and 2012, respectively), see Note 4 “Stockholders’ Equity—Noncontrolling Interests—Distributions.”
On April 16, 2014, KMP declared a cash distribution of $1.38 per unit for the first quarter of 2014 compared to the $1.30 per unit distribution KMP made for the first quarter of 2013.
As a result of KMP’s Copano acquisition, KMGP, as general partner of KMP, 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. As a result of the APT acquisition, KMGP has agreed to waive incentive distribution amounts of $13 million for 2014, $19 million for 2015 and $6 million for 2016 to facilitate the transaction.
Although the majority of the cash generated by KMP’s assets is fee based and is not sensitive to commodity prices, the CO 2–KMP business segment is exposed to commodity price risk related to the price volatility of crude oil and NGL, and while KMP hedges the majority of its crude oil production, it does have exposure on its unhedged volumes, the majority of which are NGL volumes. KMP’s 2014 budget assumes an average WTI crude oil price of approximately $96.15 per barrel (with some minor adjustments for timing, quality and location differences) in 2014, 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 2014 budget), KMP currently expects the average price of WTI crude oil will be approximately $96.62 per barrel in 2014. For 2014, KMP expects that every $1 change in the average WTI crude oil price per barrel will impact the CO 2–KMP segment’s cash flows by approximately $7 million on a full year basis (or approximately 0.125% of KMP’s combined business segments’ anticipated EBDA). This sensitivity to the average WTI price is very similar to what KMP experienced in 2013.
EPB
As of March 31, 2014, we owned approximately 90 million limited partner units of EPB, representing approximately 40% 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 2013 Form 10-K contains additional information concerning EPB’s partnership distributions.

On April 16, 2014, EPB declared a cash distribution of $0.65 per unit for the first quarter of 2014 compared to the $0.62 per unit distribution EPB made for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
For further information about the partnership distributions EPB paid in the first quarter of 2014 (for the fourth quarterly period of 2013), see Note 4 “Stockholders’ Equity—Noncontrolling Interests—Distributions.”
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes in market risk exposures that would affect the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented as of December 31, 2013, in Item 7A in our 2013 Form 10-K. For more information on our risk management activities, see Note 5 “Risk Management.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of March 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
