Did KMI Beat Earnings? Q4 2024 Results

Kinder Morgan fell short of Wall Street expectations in the fourth quarter of 2024, posting adjusted EPS of $0.32 against a consensus estimate of $0.33, a miss of 2.71%, while revenue of $3.99 billion trailed the $4.14 billion estimate by 3.59%, thou… Read more Kinder Morgan fell short of Wall Street expectations in the fourth quarter of 2024, posting adjusted EPS of $0.32 against a consensus estimate of $0.33, a miss of 2.71%, while revenue of $3.99 billion trailed the $4.14 billion estimate by 3.59%, though it still edged up 0.5% year-over-year. The headline story beneath the misses, however, was one of operational momentum: net income attributable to KMI climbed 12% to $667 million, with Adjusted EBITDA rising 7% to $2.06 billion, fueled by stronger contributions across Natural Gas Pipelines, Products Pipelines, and Terminals. The most material catalyst was the announcement of the $1.70 billion Trident Intrastate Pipeline Project, a 216-mile Texas corridor serving LNG export demand, which helped push KMI's capital backlog nearly 60% higher sequentially to $8.10 billion. With growing interest in natural gas infrastructure tied to power generation and data center demand, management guided 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to $8.30 billion and Adjusted EPS to $1.27, up 10%, signaling confidence that near-term execution gaps won't derail the longer-term growth trajectory.

Key Takeaways

  • Higher contributions from Texas Intrastate system and TGP expansion projects
  • Additional contributions from STX Midstream acquisition
  • Higher rates on Products Pipelines and Jones Act tanker fleet
  • Increased petroleum coke handling at bulk terminals
  • Expansion projects placed into service at liquids terminals
