Where can I find the specific financial results for the fourth quarter of 2021?

It acts as a formal notification of key financial updates.

Did Kinder Morgan release any new guidance or outlook in this filing?

This 8-K filing itself does not contain new guidance or outlook. It serves to announce the preliminary results and point investors towards the press release (Exhibit 99.1) where such information, if provided, would be located.

What does it mean that the information is 'not deemed filed'?
