Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Kinder Morgan delivered a record Q1 2026 with EPS up 41% and EBITDA growing 18% year-over-year, as the natural gas demand outlook was strengthened through 2031 driven by LNG, data centers, and industrial growth. Full-year EBITDA guidance was raised by more than 3% above budget excluding the $500 million Monument pipeline acquisition. The expansion backlog reached $10.1 billion, and the Western Gateway pipeline open season succeeded. Balance sheet strengthening continued with credit upgrades, though the carbon capture business was retreating.
