Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | ' |
General | ' |
General | |
Organization | |
Kinder Morgan Management, LLC is a publicly traded Delaware LLC that was formed on February 14, 2001. We are a limited partner of KMP, a publicly traded limited partnership whose common units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “KMP,” through our ownership of all of KMP’s i-units. KMGP, the common equity of which is indirectly wholly owned by KMI, is the general partner of KMP and owns all of our voting shares. KMGP, pursuant to a delegation of control agreement among us, KMGP and KMP, has delegated to us, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and KMP’s limited partnership agreement, all of its rights and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of KMP, subject to KMGP’s right to approve specified actions. Our success is dependent upon our operation and management of KMP and its resulting performance. See Note 5 for summarized income statement information for KMP. | |
We have prepared our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements under the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules and regulations conform to the accounting principles contained in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. 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 management, necessary for a fair statement of our financial results for the interim periods, and certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year; accordingly, you should read these interim consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2013 Form 10-K. For additional information, see the KMP 2013 Form 10-K and KMP’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, included in this filing as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. | |
Significant KMP Transactions | |
On May 1, 2013, KMP completed the acquisition of Copano, for a total purchase price of approximately $5.2 billion, including the assumption of debt and all other liabilities. It was a 100% unit for unit transaction with an exchange ratio of 0.4563 KMP common units for each Copano common unit. Copano, a midstream natural gas company with operations primarily in Texas, Oklahoma and Wyoming, provides comprehensive services to natural gas producers, including natural gas gathering, processing and treating and natural gas liquids fractionation. | |
Effective March 1, 2013, KMP acquired from KMI the remaining 50% ownership interest it did not already own in both EPNG and the El Paso midstream assets or Kinder Morgan Altamont LLC (formerly, El Paso Midstream Investment Company, L.L.C.), which we refer to in this report as the “midstream assets,” for an aggregate consideration of approximately $1.7 billion (including KMP’s proportional share of assumed debt borrowings as of March 1, 2013). In this report, we refer to this acquisition of assets by KMP from KMI as the “March 2013 drop-down transaction” and the combined group of assets acquired by KMP from KMI as the “March 2013 drop-down asset group.” KMP acquired its initial 50% ownership interest in the midstream assets from an investment vehicle affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Co. L.P. effective June 1, 2012. | |
KMI acquired all of the assets included in the March 2013 drop-down asset group as part of its May 25, 2012 acquisition of El Paso Corporation. KMI accounted for its acquisition of the March 2013 drop-down asset group under the acquisition method of accounting, and KMP accounted for the March 2013 drop-down transaction as a combination of entities under common control. Accordingly, the KMP information in Note 5 has been prepared to reflect the transfer of EPNG and the remaining 50% of ownership interests in the midstream assets from KMI to KMP as if such transfers had taken place on the date when EPNG and the midstream assets met the accounting requirements for entities under common control — May 25, 2012 for EPNG and June 1, 2012 for the midstream assets. Specifically, KMP (i) consolidates its now 100% investments in the drop-down asset group as of the effective dates of common control, recognizing the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at KMI’s carrying value (including all of KMI’s purchase accounting adjustments); (ii) recognized any difference between its purchase price and the carrying value of the net assets it acquired as an adjustment to its Partners’ Capital (specifically, as an adjustment to its general partner’s and its noncontrolling interests’ capital interests); and (iii) retrospectively adjusted its consolidated financial statements, for any date after the effective dates of common control. | |
Additionally, because KMI both controls KMP and consolidates KMP’s financial statements into its consolidated financial statements as a result of its ownership of KMP’s general partner, KMP fully allocated to its general partner (i) the earnings of the March 2013 drop-down asset group for the periods beginning on the effective dates of common control (described above) and ending March 1, 2013 and (ii) incremental severance expense related to KMI’s acquisition of El Paso Corporation and allocated to KMP from KMI. These amounts are reported in “General Partner’s interest in pre-acquisition income from operations and severance expense of March 2013 drop-down asset group” in Note 5. The severance expense allocated to KMP was associated with the March 2013 drop-down asset group; however, KMP does not have any obligation to, nor did KMP pay, any amounts related to this expense. | |
For all periods beginning after the acquisition date of March 1, 2013, KMP allocated its earnings (including the earnings from the March 2013 drop-down asset group) to all of its partners according to its partnership agreement. | |
Investments in KMP | |
We use the equity method of accounting for our investment in KMP. We record, in the period in which it is earned, our share of the earnings of KMP attributable to the i-units we own. We receive distributions from KMP in the form of additional i-units, which increase the number of i-units we own. We issue additional shares (or fractions thereof) to our existing shareholders in an amount equal to the additional i-units received from KMP. At September 30, 2014, through our ownership of KMP i-units, we owned approximately 28.8% of all of KMP’s outstanding limited partner interests. | |
Recent Developments | |
On August 9, 2014, we entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “KMR Merger Agreement”) with KMI pursuant to which KMI will acquire directly or indirectly all of our outstanding shares that KMI and its subsidiaries do not already own. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the KMR Merger Agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of KMI will merge with and into KMR (the “KMR Merger”), with KMR as the surviving limited liability company. KMI may, in its sole discretion and immediately after the KMR Merger, cause KMR to be merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of KMI (the "Second Step Merger Sub") with Second Step Merger Sub surviving such merger. | |
KMI has also entered into a merger agreement with KMP (the “KMP Merger Agreement”) and a merger agreement with EPB (the “EPB Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which KMI will acquire all of the outstanding common units of KMP and EPB that KMI and its subsidiaries do not already own. The transactions contemplated by the KMR Merger Agreement, the KMP Merger Agreement and the EPB Merger Agreement are referred to collectively as the “Merger Transactions.” | |
At the effective time of the KMR Merger, each voting share and listed share of KMR issued and outstanding (excluding listed shares owned by KMGP or KMI or any of its other subsidiaries, which shall be cancelled) will be converted into the right to receive 2.4849 shares of KMI common stock. | |
The completion of the KMR Merger is subject to the concurrent completion of the mergers contemplated by the KMP Merger Agreement and the EPB Merger Agreement. The completion of the KMR Merger is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including but not limited to: (a) approval of the KMR Merger Agreement by KMR’s shareholders; and (b) approval by KMI’s stockholders of (i) the amendment of KMI’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of KMI common stock and (ii) the issuance of KMI common stock in the Merger Transactions, as required pursuant to certain rules of the New York Stock Exchange. | |
The KMR Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for both KMR and KMI, and further provides that, in the event of termination of the KMR Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, KMR or KMI may be required to pay the other party a termination fee equal to $311 million. Either KMR or KMI may terminate the KMR Merger Agreement if the closing of the KMR Merger has not occurred on or before May 11, 2015. | |
The KMR Merger Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including covenants and agreements relating to the conduct of KMR’s business between the date of the signing of the KMR Merger Agreement and the closing of the transactions contemplated under the KMR Merger Agreement. On October 22, 2014, we, KMP, EPB and KMI each (i) announced November 20, 2014 as the date for the respective special meetings of shareholders or unitholders to vote on the proposals related to the Merger Transactions; and (ii) commenced mailing of proxy materials to the respective shareholders or unitholders. Unitholders and shareholders of record at the close of business on October 20, 2014, will be entitled to vote at the applicable special meeting. |

As discussed above in Note 1, KMI completed the March 2013 drop-down transaction with KMP during the first quarter of 2013 and during the second quarter of 2013, KMP acquired Copano. The March 2013 drop-down transaction was treated as an intercompany transfer of assets between KMI (an affiliate and shareholder of us) and KMP. KMP’s May 2013 acquisition of Copano in a unit for unit transaction with an exchange ratio of 0.4563 KMP common units for each Copano common unit resulted in KMP recording approximately $1.1 billion of nondeductible goodwill. Our and KMI’s accounting policy is to apply the look-through method of recording deferred taxes on the outside book tax basis difference in its investments without regard to nondeductible goodwill. The adjustments to our deferred tax liability as a result of (i) the intercompany transaction (including the associated transfer of nondeductible goodwill to KMP); and (ii) the increase in KMP’s nondeductible goodwill during the measurement period related to the Copano acquisition, are reflected as offsets to our shareholders’ equity. As a result of these two transactions, we have recorded decreases to our deferred tax liability and offsetting increases to our shareholders’ equity in the amounts of $6 million and $89 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||
On May 4, 2012, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (Credit Suisse). Pursuant to the provisions of the equity distribution agreement, we may sell from time to time through Credit Suisse, as our sales agent, our shares having an aggregate offering amount of up to $500 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we issued 1,734,513 of our shares pursuant to our equity distribution agreement. We received net proceeds of $134 million from the issuance of these shares and we used the proceeds to purchase additional KMP i-units. | ||||||||||||||||
Sales of shares pursuant to our equity distribution agreement are made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed between us and Credit Suisse. Under the terms of this agreement, we also may sell shares to Credit Suisse as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of the sale. Any sale of shares to Credit Suisse as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement between us and Credit Suisse. | ||||||||||||||||
Our equity distribution agreement provides us the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares in the future, at prices we deem appropriate. We retain at all times complete control over the amount and the timing of each sale, and we will designate the maximum number of shares to be sold through Credit Suisse, on a daily basis or otherwise as we and Credit Suisse agree. Credit Suisse will then use its reasonable efforts to sell, as our sales agent and on our behalf, all of the designated shares. We may instruct Credit Suisse not to sell shares if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. Either we or Credit Suisse may suspend the offering of shares pursuant to the agreement by notifying the other party. | ||||||||||||||||
Share Distributions | ||||||||||||||||
Under the terms of our LLC agreement, except in connection with our liquidation, we do not pay distributions on our shares in cash but instead make distributions on our shares in additional shares or fractions of shares. At the same time KMP makes a distribution on its common units and i-units, we distribute on each of our shares that fraction of a share determined by dividing the amount of the cash distribution to be made by KMP on each common unit by the average closing market price of a share determined for the ten-trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for our shares. The following table presents share distributions we have paid or declared in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. | ||||||||||||||||

We do not receive a fee for our services under the delegation of control agreement, nor do we receive any margin or profit when we are reimbursed for expenses incurred. We incurred, on behalf of KMP, approximately $86 million and $266 million of expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively and approximately $82 million and $245 million of expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The expense reimbursements by KMP to us are accounted for as a reduction to the expense incurred by us. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $14 million and $10 million, respectively, primarily receivables from KMP, are recorded in the caption “Accounts receivable – affiliated party” in the accompanying interim consolidated balance sheets. | |
One of our affiliates provides, and incurs expense with respect to, payroll and related services to KMP. These expenses are reimbursed by KMP at cost. These expenses totaled approximately $93 million and $324 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively and approximately $93 million and $337 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. |

Income Taxes | ||||||||||||||||
We are an LLC that has elected to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Our income taxes consist solely of deferred income tax. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of our assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. We have excluded nondeductible goodwill associated with our investment in KMP. Currently, our only such temporary difference results from our investment in KMP. Changes in tax legislation are included in the relevant computations in the period in which such changes are effective. | ||||||||||||||||

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, our effective tax rate was lower than the statutory federal rate of 35% primarily due to an increase in our share of nondeductible goodwill associated with our investment in KMP, partially offset by state income taxes. | ||||||||||||||||

Legal Proceedings | |
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 KMR 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, we 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 its 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). KMP’s subsidiary, SFPP, L.P. (SFPP), has completed the soil and groundwater remediation at the City of San Diego’s stadium property site and will continue quarterly sampling and monitoring through 2014 as part of the compliance evaluation required by the RWQCB. SFPP's remediation effort is now focused on its adjacent Mission Valley Terminal site. | |
On May 7, 2013, the City of San Diego petitioned the California Superior Court for a writ of mandamus seeking an order setting aside the RWQCB’s approval of an amendment to KMP’s permit to increase the discharge of water from KMP’s groundwater treatment system to the City of San Diego’s municipal storm sewer system. On October 10, 2014, the court ruled that the City’s petition was moot and dismissed the case because the amendment to the permit was no longer required and had been rescinded by the RWQCB at the request of SFPP upon SFPP’s completion of soil and groundwater remediation at the City’s stadium property site. | |
Litigation Relating to the Merger Transactions | |
Four putative class action lawsuits were filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in connection with the proposed merger transactions: (i) William Bryce Arendt v. Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P., et al., Case No. 10093-VCL; (ii) The Haynes Family Trust U/A. v. Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P., et al., Case No. 10118-VCL; (iii) George H. Edwards, et al., v. El Paso Pipeline Partners, L.P., et al., Case No. 10160-VCL; and (iv) Irwin Berlin v. Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P., et al., Case No. 10191-VCL. On September 28, 2014, the Arendt and Haynes actions were consolidated under the caption In re Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. Unitholders Litigation, Case No. 10093-VCL, with the complaint in the Haynes action designated as the operative complaint. Among the relief sought in the complaints filed in these lawsuits is to enjoin one or more of the proposed merger transactions. | |
The plaintiffs in the In re Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. Unitholders Litigation action allege that (i) KMR, KMGP, and individual defendants breached the express terms of and their duties under the KMP partnership agreement, including the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, by entering into the KMP Transaction and by failing to adequately disclose material facts related to the transaction; (ii) KMI aided and abetted such breach; and (iii) KMI tortiously interfered with the rights of the plaintiffs and the putative class under the KMP partnership agreement by causing KMGP and the individual defendants to breach their duties under the KMP partnership agreement. Further, plaintiffs allege that the KMP partnership agreement mandates that the transaction be approved by two-thirds of KMP’s limited partner interests. | |
On September 26, 2014, plaintiffs filed a motion for expedited proceedings. On September 29, 2014, plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the KMP vote. | |
In the George H. Edwards, et al. v. El Paso Pipeline Partners, L.P., et al. action, plaintiffs allege that (i) El Paso Pipeline GP Company, L.L.C. (EPGP) breached the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing by approving the EPB transaction in bad faith; (ii) EPGP, the EPGP directors named as defendants, E Merger Sub LLC, and KMI aided and abetted such breach; (iii) EPGP breached its duties under the EPB partnership agreement, including the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing; and (iv) EPB, the EPGP directors named as defendants, E Merger Sub LLC, and KMI aided and abetted such breach and tortiously interfered with the rights of the EPB unitholders under the EPB partnership agreement. | |
The plaintiffs also allege that (i) KMR and KMGP breached their duties under the KMP partnership agreement including the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing; and (ii) KMP, the KMGP directors named as defendants, P Merger Sub LLC, and KMI aided and abetted such breach and tortiously interfered with the rights of the KMP unitholders under the KMP partnership agreement. In addition, plaintiffs allege that KMR and KMGP breached the residual fiduciary duties owed to KMP unitholders, and KMP, the KMGP directors named as defendants, P Merger Sub LLC, and KMI aided and abetted such breach. Finally, plaintiffs allege that the KMP partnership agreement mandates that the KMP merger be approved, alternatively, by at least 95% of all of KMP’s limited partner interests, by at least two-thirds of KMP’s limited partner interests, or by at least two-thirds of KMP’s common unitholders. On September 26, 2014, plaintiffs filed a motion for expedited discovery, and a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the KMP vote. | |
On October 7, 2014, the Court ruled that expedited discovery and expedited proceedings could proceed with respect to claims relating to the vote required to approve the KMP merger. The Court has scheduled a hearing on this matter for October 31, 2014. | |
In the Irwin Berlin v. Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P., et al. action, plaintiff alleges that (i) KMR, KMGP, KMI, and members of the Board of Directors of KMGP breached their fiduciary duties by entering into the KMP Transaction and by failing to adequately disclose material facts related to the transaction; (ii) KMI aided and abetted such breach; and (iii) KMGP breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing. Although KMP is listed as a defendant in the caption, no claims are asserted against it in the complaint. | |
The defendants believe the allegations against them lack merit, and they intend to vigorously defend these lawsuits. |

Investments in KMP | |
We use the equity method of accounting for our investment in KMP. We record, in the period in which it is earned, our share of the earnings of KMP attributable to the i-units we own. We receive distributions from KMP in the form of additional i-units, which increase the number of i-units we own. We issue additional shares (or fractions thereof) to our existing shareholders in an amount equal to the additional i-units received from KMP. |
