| So, we're in a strong balance sheet scenario that we've got ample liquidity |
| And aligned management, 13% of our business is owned by management and board, good growth, good dividend yield and good idea for opportunistic buyback programs |
| So, we have about $3 billion of committed projects, strong returns associated with the projects |
| The total return opportunity set looks very attractive to us, and we think there's more to come |
| And we benefit from a lot of the trends that we'll go through here later in the presentation that has allowed us to build up a backlog of committed projects at very strong returns |
| Being a natural gas transporter means we are very well suited to take advantage and very well positioned to take advantage of some of the trends that we've talked about |
| We're very excited about our current prospects the assets that we own, the existing committed projects that we've got plus the incremental projects that we're working on |
| Plus, when we combine, and this is, again, kind of speaking to our advantaged footprint, when we combine our storage offerings with our transportation offerings, we're able to provide flexibility and a more robust broad services that many others can't compete with |
| We're seeing our -- the value of our storage facilities increased nicely, which is good |
| And this is why we're so excited about the future of Kinder Morgan right here |
| So, it's very exciting |
| We've got highly predictable cash flows, strong growth expected in 2024 |
| It's a story that has legs, and we're very advantage with regard to our physical assets that we own and operate in the natural gas space |
| And so, that there's going to be a good growth there, and we're positioning ourselves there to take advantage of some of that growth |
| So, we're very optimistic about our future and we hope with these comments |
| And Kinder is able to turn that into a really competitive dividend yield and has some nice financial optionality from here |
| We think that the opportunity for growth is even better than what we've seen during this timeframe |
| And we aim to create using this backdrop, these assets, financial policies, our strong financial position to create value and then deliver that value to our shareholders |
| So very strong returns |
| So very well-situated growth |
| So, we're very well situated |
| Since 2016, we've had some pretty good performance |
| So, it gives you an indication of why we're so confident that we're going to continue to grow and replenish the backlog |
| We've reduced our leverage by 26% [Audio Gap] priorities and that resulted in very strong financial performance, a strong financial position has created tremendous value for our shareholders, and we think there's more to come |
| So pretty good growth, especially for a company our size |
| But I would say that the liquefied natural gas build-out is one of the most exciting opportunities for a midstream company that this company, and I think any company in the U.S., any midstream company in the U.S |
| And in fact, we said we've got a $3 billion backlog that's committed and we're confident that those projects are going to be coming into service |
| And I think that will help set the stage for why we're so confident going forward because we think the same trends that were in place during this time frame are going to drive our future growth and then some |
| So even if we're not, if Kinder Morgan is not a pipeline of -- that wins the business to connect to a new Cheniere LNG train, for example, we could still benefit by supplying that pipeline with incremental supplies because the network that we have right now is full |
| We've grown our EPS by 8% annual |

| It can't be replaced with population growth and increased permitting challenges, increased regulation |
| We disagree with that somewhat |
| We disagreed with WoodMac in the past and because we've expected more power generation growth from natural gas, and we've been more right than WoodMac has been in the past |
| It's a double-edged sword because the low gas prices mean activity levels will come off a little bit in the U.S |
| But it continues to cannibalize some of these demand responses because of the global spread that they can achieve |
| Because of the challenging and permitting new energy infrastructure in that part of the country, the expansion opportunities there for us are likely to be more brownfield projects than greenfield projects |
| This is one that we whole hardly disagree with |
| And it's just hard to underestimate how significant that is |
| These are -- the way to think about these, these are very steady, slow-growing business with very little capital requirement |
| I know there's recent LNG DOE pause, permitting pause has come to line and is on a lot of people's attention |
| And in the past, on the face of it, in the past, you haven’t seen our net EBITDA grow very quickly in the past |
| In fact, leverage is coming down a little bit to 3.9x |
| So as renewable power penetrates the market further and further, you're not going to use coal because coal is not competitive for many reasons, you're not going to use nuclear because of the permitting process is a natural -- the natural perception that it's risky and unsafe and so forth |
