Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Fiduciary Committee of the
Kinder Morgan Savings Plan:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Kinder Morgan Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Plan’s management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Supplemental Information
The supplemental information in the accompanying Schedule H. Line 4(i) - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2017, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but rather required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Kinder Morgan Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements |
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
General
The Kinder Morgan Savings Plan (the “Plan”) was established in 1945 for the benefit of eligible employees of Kinder Morgan, Inc. (the “Company”). The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Plan participants (“Participants”) should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Benefits under the Plan are not guaranteed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
Plan Administration
The Plan is administered by the Company's Fiduciary Committee. Empower Retirement provides record keeping services for the Plan. The maintenance and custody of the Plan assets is administered by Great-West Trust Company, LLC (the "Trustee").
Contributions
Participants may elect to make pre-tax contributions from 1% to 50% of their annual compensation, limited by requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Participants may discontinue their elections to contribute at any time. All new Participants are automatically enrolled in the Plan with a pre-tax contribution by the Participant of 3% of their eligible annual compensation. Within the first 30 days of hire, employees may opt out of automatic enrollment. The Company has established a goal percentage rate of 8% (“SmartGoal”). Every February the Participants who have not opted out of automatic enrollment and who have a participation rate below the SmartGoal will automatically get a 1% increase until the Participant meets the SmartGoal. Participants can opt out of SmartGoal at any time.
The Company makes a Qualified Non-Elective Contribution (“QNEC”) to the Plan on behalf of each Participant. The QNEC is equal to 5% of eligible compensation and is deposited as of each pay period.
Company contributions for bargaining Participants follow the respective collective bargaining agreements. All QNEC and other Company contributions (matched or fixed contributions) are invested according to Participants’ investment elections on file or the default, if no election is filed. Participants can transfer from the default fund(s) to any other available investment fund(s) at any time.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company's contributions totaled approximately $46.8 million.
The Plan provides an option for Participants to make after-tax “Roth” contributions (Roth 401(k) option) to a separate Participant account. Unlike traditional 401(k) plans, where Participant contributions are made with pre-tax dollars, earnings grow tax-deferred and the withdrawals are treated as taxable income, Roth 401(k) contributions are made with after-tax dollars, earnings are tax-free, and the withdrawals are tax-free if they occur after both (i) the fifth year of participation in the Roth 401(k) option, and (ii) attainment of age 59 ½, death or disability. The Company contribution will still be considered taxable income at the time of withdrawal.
Under the IRC, annual additions under the Plan and all other qualified plans sponsored by the Company are limited to the lesser of 100% of eligible compensation or $54,000 for each Participant for 2017. Annual additions are defined as Company contributions and Participant contributions.
Benefits/Vesting
Company contributions vest on the second anniversary of the date of hire. Vesting of Company contributions for bargaining Participants will follow the respective collective bargaining agreements.
Participant contributions may be withdrawn in the event of unusual expenses connected with illness or disability, for college or funeral expenses for a Participant or his or her dependents, for the repair of damage to a primary residence caused by fire, storm, or other casualties, or for the purchase of a primary residence, as defined in the Plan document. If not withdrawn earlier, a Participant’s account will be available for distribution, rollover, or payable in the event of termination of employment, death, or termination of the Plan. If upon termination, a Participant’s account is $1,000 or less, a lump-sum distribution will automatically
|
|
Kinder Morgan Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements |
be made. If a Participant’s account is greater than $1,000, the Participant’s distribution options are: lump-sum distribution, partial distribution, or periodic installments. Upon termination, Participants whose accounts exceed $1,000 may choose to leave their accounts in the Plan until age 70 ½, when minimum distributions are required under the IRC.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, Participants would become fully vested in Company contributions.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow, from the vested portion of their Plan accounts, a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of 50% of their vested balance or $50,000, minus the highest outstanding loan balance from the previous 12 months. All loans are charged an interest rate equal to the prime rate on the first business day of the month of issuance plus 2% and the rate remains fixed during the life of the loan. The loans are subject to certain restrictions as defined in the Plan document and applicable restrictions under the IRC.
Forfeitures
Forfeitures of non-vested employer contributions remain in the Plan and earn interest income. During 2017, terminated Participants forfeited $971,198 of employer contributions, and available forfeitures in the amount of $957,106 were used to reduce future Company QNEC.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Plan’s management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the accompanying financial statements and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Subsequent events, which are events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2017 through the issuance of the accompanying financial statements, have been evaluated through June 27, 2018, and management has concluded that there are no significant events to be reported.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Shares of registered investment companies (mutual funds) are accounted for at fair market values as determined by quoted market prices in an active market. The Plan’s interest in common/collective trust funds are based on the fair value of the funds' underlying investments as based on information reported by the investment advisor using the audited financial statements of the funds at year-end. Common stocks are valued at the closing price reported on the active markets on which the individual securities are traded.
The Plan invests in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts ("FBRIC") held in a stable value fund and the FBRICs are accounted for at contract value. Contract value is the relevant measure for the portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contributions plan attributable to FBRICs because contract value is the amount Participants normally would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan.
The Plan presents in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net appreciation in the fair value of investments, which consists of realized gains and losses, and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is the difference between the fair value of the investment at the end of the current year and the cost of the investment, if acquired during the Plan year, or the fair value of the investment at the beginning of the Plan year. Purchases and sales of the funds are reflected on a trade date basis. Interest income is recognized when earned. Dividends are recognized on the ex-dividend date.

Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivable from Participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent notes receivable from Participants are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan document.
Administrative Expenses
Certain administrative services for the Plan may be provided by the Company at no cost to the Plan. All other expenses are paid by the Plan with the exception of expenses associated with any Qualified Domestic Relations Order, which are paid by the Participant.
Expense Offset Arrangement
Fees incurred by the Plan for investment management services or record keeping services are included in net appreciation in fair value of investments, as they are paid through revenue sharing, rather than a direct payment.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). ASU No. 2015-07 applies to reporting entities that elect to measure the fair value of an investment using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient. Under the amendments in this update, investments for which fair value is measured using NAV per share (or its equivalent) as the practical expedient should not be categorized in the fair value hierarchy. Removing those investments from the fair value hierarchy not only eliminates the diversity in practice resulting from the way in which investments measured at NAV per share (or its equivalent) with future redemption dates are classified, but also ensures that all investments categorized in the fair value hierarchy are classified using a consistent approach. Investments that calculate NAV per share (or its equivalent), but for which the practical expedient is not applied, will continue to be included in the fair value hierarchy. A reporting entity should continue to disclose information on investments for which fair value is measured at NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient to help users understand the nature and risks of the investments and whether the investments, if sold, are probable of being sold at amounts different from NAV. ASU No. 2015-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2016 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted and accordingly, Plan management elected to early adopt ASU No. 2015-07 during the 2015 plan year. The adoption of ASU 2015-07 in 2015 impacted disclosures only by removing those investments measured at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient from classification in the fair value hierarchy in Note 4.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-12, Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965) - (Part I) Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts, (Part II) Plan Investment Disclosures, (Part III) Measurement Date Practical Expedient, to reduce the complexity in employee benefit plan accounting.
| |
Part I - | Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts: Eliminates the requirements to measure the fair value of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts and provide certain disclosures. Contract value is the only required measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. Further, Part I clarifies the definition of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts to only include contracts directly between the Plan and the issuer of the contract. Indirect investments in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts (such as through stable value common or collective trusts) should no longer be reflected as fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. |
| |
Part II - | Plan Investment Disclosures: Eliminates the requirements to disclose individual investments that represent 5 percent or more of net assets available for benefits and the net appreciation or depreciation in fair value of investments by general type. Part II also simplifies the level of disaggregation of investments that are measured using fair value. Plans will continue to disaggregate investments that are measured using fair value by general type; however, plans are no longer required to also disaggregate investments by nature, characteristics and risks. |
|
|
Kinder Morgan Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements |
Further, the disclosure of information about fair value measurements shall be provided by general type of plan asset.
Part III - Measurement Date Practical Expedient: Reduces complexity in employee benefit plan accounting by providing a practical expedient that permits plans to measure investments and investment-related accounts as of a month-end date that is closest to the plan's fiscal year-end, when the fiscal period does not coincide with month-end.
ASU No. 2015-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Parts I and II are effective on a retrospective basis, and Part III is effective on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. Plan management elected to early adopt Parts I and II during the 2015 plan year. Part III is not applicable to the Plan. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-12, Parts I and II, is reflected through the presentation of investments meeting the definition of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts at contract value, and indirect investments in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts within investments at fair value, in the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits, with no adjustment from fair value to contract value. The adoption of ASU 2015-12 did not have a significant impact on the Plan’s financial statements and related footnotes.
3. INVESTMENT CONTRACTS
The Plan, through its Invesco Stable Value Fund (the “Fund”), holds investments in common/collective trust funds. To reduce the risk of market losses on these investments, the Fund entered into synthetic investment contracts (which consist of common/collective trust funds) with financial institutions and insurance companies. Synthetic investment contracts enable participants to transact at the investments' contract value by protecting the principal amount invested over a specified period of time. The assets underlying the investment contracts are owned by the Plan. These synthetic investment contracts are fully benefit-responsive, and their contract value is reflected in the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. Contract value represents the original cost of the contract, plus interest (based upon the crediting rates of the underlying contracts) and deposits, reduced by administrative fees, transfers out, and withdrawals.
Under certain events, the amounts withdrawn from investment contracts may be payable at fair value rather than contract value. These events include termination of the Plan, a material adverse change to the provisions of the Plan, if the employer elects to withdraw from an investment contract or if the terms of a successor plan do not meet the contract issuer’s criteria for the issuance of a similar contract. In some cases, an investment contract issuer may terminate a contract with the Plan and settle at an amount different than the contract value. Examples of these events include the Plan’s loss of its qualified status, material breaches of responsibilities that are not cured or material and adverse changes to the provisions of the Plan.
4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions (inputs) that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable, and valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Plan uses a hierarchal disclosure framework that ranks the quality and reliability of information used to determine fair values.
The hierarchy is associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs to the fair value measurement process—quoted prices are the most reliable valuation inputs, whereas model values that include inputs based on unobservable data are the least reliable.
The three broad levels of inputs defined by the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| |
Level 1 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 | Inputs to the valuation methodology include: |
| |
• | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| |
• | Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; |
| |
• | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and |
| |
• | Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
|
|
Kinder Morgan Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements |
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
| |
Level 3 | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (which might include the reporting entity’s own data). |
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
In determining fair value, the Plan uses two different approaches (the market approach and the income approach) depending on the nature of the assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant data based on market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount, with the measurement based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and approaches used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Common and preferred equity: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. (Market approach)
Corporate bonds: Valued using pricing models maximizing the use of observable inputs for similar securities. This includes basing value on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings. (Income approach)
Registered investment companies (mutual funds, including exchanged traded funds): Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the SEC. These funds are required to publish their daily NAV and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded. (Market approach)
The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s assets at fair value as of December 31, 2017 and 2016:

5. TAX STATUS
The Plan is qualified under the IRC as exempt from federal income taxes, and the Plan received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service on March 21, 2016. The Plan has been amended since receiving this determination; however, the Company's Fiduciary Committee believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, the Company's Fiduciary Committee believes that the Plan was tax exempt as of the financial statement dates. Employer contributions to the Plan and all earnings from Plan investments are not taxable to Participants until a partial or complete distribution of such contributions or earnings is made.
6. PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are in accounts managed by the Trustee, and the Plan has notes receivable from certain of its Participants. Additionally, the Plan invests in shares of the Company’s common stock. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions, as defined by ERISA. However, such transactions are permitted under the provisions of the Plan and are exempt from the prohibition of party-in-interest transactions under ERISA.

7. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Plan provides for various investment options in mutual funds, common stocks, money market funds and common collective trusts. Investments, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investments will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect Participants’ account balances and the amounts shown in the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Amounts allocated to deemed distributions of notes receivable from Participants are recorded as a receivable in the accompanying financial statements and recorded as an expense on Form 5500.
A note receivable from a Participant is deemed distributed during the plan year under the provisions of IRC section 72(p) and Treasury Regulation section 1.72(p) if the note receivable is treated as a note receivable solely of the Participant’s individual account and the Participant has discontinued payment of the note receivable as of the end of the year. In accordance with GAAP, the note receivable balance is still considered as an outstanding note receivable until the note receivable obligation has been satisfied and is not treated as an actual distribution until such time the Participant separates from employment and the Participant’s vested account balance is fully distributed.
