BIP Brookfield Infrastructure Partners LP

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (Brookfield Infrastructure, BIP, or the Partnership) (NYSE: BIP; TSX: BIP.UN) today announced its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“Our business showcased its resilience during the second quarter, providing strong financial and operational results," said Sam Pollock, Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Infrastructure. “We have also already accomplished most of our current year strategic initiatives, exceeding our annual deployment target and successfully executing our capital recycling program, with $1.9 billion in asset sales this year.”

Brookfield Infrastructure reported net income of $378 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 compared to net income of $176 million in the prior year. Current year results benefited from the contribution associated with recently completed acquisitions, organic growth across our base business and realized gains on each of the six asset sales that closed in the second quarter. These positive impacts were partially offset by higher borrowing costs associated with the financing of our growth initiatives.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the second quarter was $552 million, increasing 8% relative to the comparable period. Results were supported by the contribution of approximately $2.1 billion of capital deployed in new acquisitions over the past year, partially offset by the impact of asset sales and borrowing costs associated with financing our new investments. Organic growth was near the high-end of our 6-9% target range, reflecting the benefit of elevated levels of inflation on tariff increases and the commissioning of approximately $1 billion in new capital projects over the last 12 months. Partially offsetting the strong underlying performance of our business was the normalization of market sensitive revenues, as the prior year benefited from elevated commodity prices.

Segment Performance

The following table presents FFO by segment:

	For the three monthsended June 30								For the six monthsended June 30
US$ millions, unaudited1		2023				2022				2023				2022
FFO by segment
Utilities	$	224			$	188			$	432			$	355

Corporate		(104	)			(104	)			(218	)			(217	)
FFO5	$	552			$	513			$	1,106			$	1,006

The utilities segment generated FFO of $224 million, an increase of 19% from the same period last year. Organic growth for the segment was 10%, reflecting the continued benefit of elevated inflation indexation and the commissioning of approximately $500 million of capital into our rate base during the last 12 months. Current quarter results benefited from the expansion of our residential decarbonization infrastructure platform in North America and Europe, following the acquisition of HomeServe in January 2023.

FFO for the transport segment was $199 million for the quarter, an increase of 5% from the prior year excluding our U.S. container terminal that was divested in the second quarter of 2022. Results continue to benefit from inflation-linked rate increases. Compared to the prior period last year, rates at our global toll road portfolio increased by 10% and our rail networks passed through increases of 8%. Volumes have remained resilient, with traffic levels increasing 2% across our toll roads and rail volumes were consistent with the prior year. Partially offsetting the strong operational results of our road and rail assets, was a 1% reduction in port volumes and the normalization of commodity prices that provided an outsized contribution at our U.S. LNG export terminal in the prior period.

The midstream segment generated $161 million of FFO, a modest decrease compared with the prior year. Strong performance across our base businesses from increased utilization and higher contracted cash flows was offset by softer results at our Canadian diversified midstream business due to the normalization of market sensitive revenues and the delay in a meaningful contribution from the Heartland Petrochemical Complex (HPC), which was offline for much of the quarter. Looking ahead, HPC is anticipated to partially contribute to results in the third quarter, while the fourth quarter is expected to provide full run-rate contribution.

The data segment generated FFO of $72 million, an increase of 20% from the same period last year. Current quarter results benefited from the acquisition of a European telecom tower operation in February and the contribution from an Australian fiber business acquired in August 2022.

Update on Strategic Initiatives

We continue to find good opportunities to invest capital above our targeted return threshold. During the second quarter, we accelerated our global data center growth strategy through the acquisition of two marquee development platforms in Europe and North America, respectively. These investments fill gaps in our existing portfolio, which was regionally focused in South America, Australia and India. We now have an asset footprint in all our core markets and have become one of the largest developers in the world.

Most recently, we entered into an agreement to acquire a co-controlling stake in Compass Datacenters for $1.35 billion, including Brookfield Infrastructure’s equity of approximately $375 million. Compass is a leading North American hyperscale data center platform that has approximately 170 megawatts of operating capacity, with a significantly de-risked contracted and reserved capacity backlog to be developed on power-ready and owned land across several major campuses. Total operating, contracted and reserved capacity is 735 megawatts, which is 85% underpinned by investment grade hyperscalers. Contracted capacity of 675 megawatts is included in this total and has a 13-year weighted average contract duration, with approximately 60% contracted on a triple net basis providing for recovery of maintenance and operating costs from our customers. The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The acquisition of Data4, our European hyperscale data center platform, closed on August 1, 2023. Since announcing the transaction, the business converted a 130 megawatt memorandum of understanding with a leading hyperscale client into firm contracted capacity, resulting in over 50% of our business plan growth profile of 400 megawatts being successfully contracted or reserved.

The Triton privatization is advancing well, with the majority of the required regulatory approvals received and a shareholder vote that has been set for August 24, 2023. We currently expect to close the transaction shortly after receiving confirmation of shareholder support. Across these three transactions, we expect Brookfield Infrastructure’s equity share of the deployment to be nearly $2 billion.

Brookfield Infrastructure continues to be successful in converting its advanced pipeline of capital recycling opportunities into completed sales. To date in this calendar year, we have secured $1.9 billion of asset sale proceeds, of which $1.4 billion has already closed. Generally, transactions are taking longer to complete and potential buyers have less access to capital. However, demand for highly contracted and essential infrastructure remains strong and we are focused on preparing for the next round of capital recycling initiatives in 2024.

Distribution and Dividend Declaration

The Board of Directors of BIP has declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.3825 per unit, payable on September 29, 2023 to unitholders of record as at the close of business on August 31, 2023. This distribution represents a 6% increase compared to the prior year. The regular quarterly dividends on the Cumulative Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 1, Series 3, Series 9, Series 11, Series 13 and Series 14 have also been declared, as well as the capital gains dividend for BIP Investment Corporation Senior Preferred Shares, Series 1. In conjunction with the Partnership’s distribution declaration, the Board of Directors of BIPC has declared an equivalent quarterly dividend of $0.3825 per share, also payable on September 29, 2023 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on August 31, 2023.

1. Please refer to page 11 for results of Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation.
2. Includes net income attributable to limited partners, the general partner, and non-controlling interests ‒ Redeemable Partnership Units held by Brookfield, Exchange LP units, BIPC exchangeable LP units and BIPC exchangeable shares.
3. Average number of limited partnership units outstanding on a time weighted average basis for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 were 458.7 million and 458.5 million (2022: 458.0 million and 458.0 million).
4. On June 10, 2022, Brookfield Infrastructure completed a three-for-two split of our units, BIPC exchangeable shares, Exchange LP Units, and BIPC exchangeable LP units, by way of a subdivision whereby unitholders/shareholders received an additional one-half of a unit/share for each unit/share held. The Managing General Partner Units, Special General Partner Units and Redeemable Partnership Units of the Holding LP were concurrently split. Brookfield Infrastructure’s preferred units were not affected by the split.
5. We define FFO as net income excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, mark-to-market gains (losses) and other income (expenses) that are not related to the revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary for business operations. FFO includes balances attributable to the Partnership generated by investments in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method and excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests based on the economic interests held by non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries. We believe that FFO, when viewed in conjunction with our IFRS results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our underlying operations. FFO is a measure of operating performance that is not calculated in accordance with, and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. FFO is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is available on page 9 of this release. Readers are encouraged to consider both measures in assessing our company’s results.
6. Average number of partnership units outstanding on a fully diluted time weighted average basis for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 were 771.6 million and 771.5 million (2022: 771.1 million and 771.1 million).

Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

The Board of Directors of Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (“BIPC” or our “company”) (NYSE, TSX: BIPC) today has declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.3825 per class A exchangeable subordinate voting share of BIPC (a “Share”), payable on September 29, 2023 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on August 31, 2023. This dividend is identical in amount per Share and has identical record and payment dates to the quarterly distribution announced today by Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (“BIP” or the “Partnership”) on its units.

The Shares of BIPC are structured with the intention of being economically equivalent to the non-voting limited partnership units of Brookfield Infrastructure Partnership L.P. (“BIP” or the “Partnership”) (NYSE: BIP; TSX: BIP.UN). We believe economic equivalence is achieved through identical dividends and distributions on the Shares and BIP’s units and each Share being exchangeable at the option of the holder for one BIP unit at any time. Given the economic equivalence, we expect that the market price of the Shares will be significantly impacted by the market price of BIP’s units and the combined business performance of our company and BIP as a whole. In addition to carefully considering the disclosure made in this news release in its entirety, shareholders are strongly encouraged to carefully review BIP’s letter to unitholders, supplemental information and its other continuous disclosure filings. BIP’s letter to unitholders and supplemental information are available at https://bip.brookfield.com. Copies of the Partnership’s continuous disclosure filings are available electronically on EDGAR on the SEC’s website at https://sec.gov or on SEDAR at https://sedar.com.

Results

The net income and funds from operations1 (FFO) of BIPC are captured in the Partnership’s financial statements and results.

BIPC reported a net loss of $154 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2023, compared to net income of $842 million in the prior year. After removing the impact of the revaluation on our own Shares that are classified as liabilities under IFRS, underlying earnings were consistent with the prior year. Current period results benefited from inflation indexation across our business and capital commissioned into rate base at our U.K. regulated distribution business. These benefits were offset by an increase in income taxes as a one-time deferred tax recovery was recorded in the comparative period.

FFO increased to $124 million this quarter, representing a 7% increase compared to the same period in the prior year. FFO benefited from inflation indexation across our businesses, as well as higher connections activity at our U.K. regulated distribution business. These benefits were partially offset by an increase in financing costs at our Brazilian regulated gas transmission business.

1. We define FFO as net income excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, mark-to-market gains (losses) and other income (expenses) that are not related to the revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary for business operations. We exclude from FFO dividends paid on the exchangeable shares of our company that are presented as interest expense, as well as the interest expense on loans payable to the partnership which represent the partnership’s investment in our company. We also exclude from FFO amounts attributable to non-controlling interests based on the economic interests held by non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries. FFO excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests based on the economic interests held by non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries. We believe that FFO, when viewed in conjunction with our IFRS results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our underlying operations. FFO is a measure of operating performance that is not calculated in accordance with, and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. FFO is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is available on page 16 of this release. Readers are encouraged to consider both measures in assessing our company’s results.

1. FFO contribution from investments in associates correspond to the FFO attributable to our company that are generated by its investments in associates accounted for using the equity method.2. Other expenses correspond to amounts that are not related to the revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary for business operations. Other expenses excluded from FFO primarily include fair value remeasurement gains/losses and accretion expense on deferred consideration.3. Amounts attributable to non-controlling interests are calculated based on the economic ownership interests held by non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries. By adjusting FFO attributable to non-controlling interests, our company is able to remove the portion of FFO earned at non-wholly owned subsidiaries that are not attributable to our company.
