This is a 9.8% increase from the prior dividend of $0.41.The dividend will be payable on February 17, 2015, to stockholders of record on February 2, 2015, with an ex-dividend date of January 29, 2015.The annual yield on the dividend is 4.3 percent.Chairman and CEO Richard D. Kinder said, “KMI had a good year and will pay cash dividends of $1.74 per share for 2014, exceeding our annual budget of $1.72 per share, and 9 percent higher than the 2013 declared dividend of $1.60. While we experienced some headwinds in the fourth quarter due primarily to commodity pricing, Kinder Morgan demonstrated once again that our large diversified portfolio of mostly fee-based assets can produce good results even in tumultuous market conditions. In 2014 our businesses generated $7.539 billion in segment earnings before DD&A and certain items, a 9 percent increase over 2013, led by our Natural Gas Pipelines, Products Pipelines, SACROC production and Terminals assets. We also completed the transaction to merge the Kinder Morgan entities into one company in late November 2014, which we believe simplifies the company for investors and most importantly paves the way for superior growth at KMI for many years to come. Our current project backlog of expansion and joint venture investments is $17.6 billion. Since the third quarter earnings release, we have placed $730 million of completed projects into service, removed $785 million in projects (primarily in the CO2 segment that have been delayed beyond the time horizon of the backlog due to lower commodity prices), and added $1.24 billion in new projects to the backlog. Projects in the backlog have a high certainty of completion and will drive future growth at the company across all of our business segments.”KMI reported fourth quarter distributable cash flow before certain items of $1.278 billion versus $482 million for the comparable period in 2013. The increase over the fourth quarter 2013 is in part attributable to the KMI merger transactions, which resulted in the payment of a single dividend to all KMI shareholders in lieu of distributions to the former limited partners in Kinder Morgan Energy Partners and El Paso Pipeline Partners. Distributable cash flow per share before certain items was $0.60 compared to $0.46 for the fourth quarter last year. Fourth quarter net income before certain items was $664 million compared to $640 million for the same period in 2013. Net income was $566 million compared to $704 million for the fourth quarter last year. Certain items after tax in the fourth quarter totaled a net loss of $98 million compared to a net gain of $64 million for the same period last year, primarily due to a $235 million non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge on one of the company’s oil and gas properties, partially offset by a nonrecurring tax benefit.For the full year, KMI reported distributable cash flow before certain items of $2.618 billion, up from $1.713 billion for 2013. Distributable cash flow per share before certain items was $2.00 compared to $1.65 the previous year. Net income before certain items was $2.340 billion compared to $2.044 billion for 2013. Net income was $2.443 billion compared to $2.692 billion for the previous year, down primarily due to a $558 million gain recorded in 2013 related to the re-measurement of the company’s original 50 percent interest in the Eagle Ford joint venture to fair market value.Overview of Business SegmentsThe Natural Gas Pipelines business produced fourth quarter segment earnings before DD&A and certain items of $1.057 billion, up 5 percent from $1.006 billion for the same period last year. For the full year, Natural Gas Pipelines generated $4.069 billion in segment earnings before DD&A and certain items, a 9 percent increase over 2013.“This segment’s strong results and the increase in earnings compared to the fourth quarter last year were attributable to strong performances at Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP), El Paso Natural Gas (EPNG) and South Texas Copano midstream assets,” Kinder said. “For the full year, these same assets drove earnings growth and we benefited from a full year of ownership of the Copano assets. TGP’s services continue to be in high demand due primarily to ongoing production growth in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays. Earnings were boosted by a number of TGP expansion projects that came online in the fall of 2013 and during 2014, which resulted in a 16 percent throughput increase on TGP for the full year compared to the previous year. EPNG throughput was 10 percent higher than the previous year due to increased deliveries to California for storage refill and volumes on firm transportation contracts related to increased demand in Mexico. South Texas Copano midstream assets benefited from higher gathering volumes from the Eagle Ford Shale. These positives more than offset the impact of previously announced rate case settlements that resulted in lower rates on the Southern Natural Gas and Wyoming Interstate Company pipelines.”Natural gas continues to be the fuel of choice for America’s future energy needs and certain industry experts are projecting gas demand increases of about 40 percent to nearly 110 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) over the next 10 years. Since Dec. 1, 2013, KMI has entered into new and pending firm transport capacity commitments totaling 6.7 Bcf/d, and its pipelines currently move about one-third of the natural gas consumed in America. Future opportunities include the need for more capacity in the Northeast, demand for gas-fired power generation, LNG exports and exports to Mexico. KMI currently has a backlog of natural gas projects of approximately $4.6 billion.The CO2 business produced fourth quarter segment earnings before DD&A and certain items of $369 million, down from $392 million for the same period in 2013. For the full year, the CO2 business generated $1.458 billion, up 2 percent over the previous year, but below its published annual budget of 8 percent growth, primarily due to lower commodity prices.“Lower commodity prices obviously impacted earnings overall, but we had some outstanding operational results in this segment,” Kinder said. “In the fourth quarter our large SACROC Unit reported record quarterly oil production averaging 35.5 thousand barrels per day (MBbl/d) and strong NGL sales volumes of 20.4 MBbl/d at o
