Alerian Explains: The Kinder Family

2014.09.12 Alerian Explains - Kinder




  1.  December 3, 2013. Kinder Morgan releases guidance for its family of companies that was generally below sell-side analysts’ expectations. EPB’s distribution, previously growing at double digits, is expected to be flat for 2014. Despite a schedule of dropdowns and expansion projects expected during the year, EPB distribution growth will be hindered by rate cases and lower contract renewal rates. Distribution growth of 5% for KMP and KMR is seen as slightly negative, as it falls at the low end of the 5%-6% long-term range previously given by management. KMI, which receives IDRs from both companies, also has its distribution growth rate reduced, to 8% from 9%-10% previously.


  2. December 18-31, 2013. During the last two weeks of December, the S&P 500, the AMZ, and the Kinder family of companies (especially KMI) all rally. The January effect may simply have been early. In the last week of the year, Kinder acquires five Jones Act vessels, entering the domestic tanker business.

  3.  January 29, 2014. No major announcements are made during Kinder’s analyst day. The only notable update is that EPB’s distribution growth is expected to resume in 2017. The Kinder Trade this year loses 2.8% on KMP and 1.1% on KMR. In 2013 and 2012, the Kinder Trade would have made an investor 10.3% and 16.9% for KMP, and 12.7% and 14.9% for KMR, respectively.

  4.  February 22, 2014. Barron’s features Kinder Morgan but is decidedly bearish. Kinder Morgan responds the following day. In the next week, the article, author, and publication are criticized in the comments section. Additionally, sell-side analysts and other articles note the lack of perspective and failure to provide a contrasting opinion.

  5.  July 31, 2014. MLPs pull back 4.3% on a price return basis in July, following a 13.0% positive return during the first half of the year. Underperformance is likely due to some profit taking and fears of rising rates, as many income-oriented sectors also saw a pull back. Kinder’s second quarter earnings reports were in line with expectations.

  6.  August 10, 2014. Consolidation announcement indicates that KMI will buy KMP, KMR, and EPB for a total of $71 billion, making it the second largest energy deal in history. Based on the previous day’s closing price, KMP is bought at a 12.0% premium, KMR at a 16.5% premium, and EPB at a 15.4% premium. Further Alerian commentary is available.
