Brookfield Infrastructure reported net income of
$113 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022
compared to $413 million in the prior year. Current year results
benefited from recent acquisitions and organic growth across our
base business, as well as mark-to-market gains on our foreign
currency hedging program. Prior year results included a gain of
approximately $425 million recognized on the sale of our U.S.
district energy business. After removing the impact of disposition
gains, net income increased by $125 million relative to the
prior year.
Funds from operations (FFO) for the third
quarter was $525 million, increasing 24% relative to the comparable
period. Organic growth for the quarter was robust at 10%,
reflecting the benefits of elevated inflation levels impacting
tariffs and the commissioning of approximately $1.2 billion of
capital projects in the last 12 months. Additionally, approximately
$2 billion of capital was deployed in acquisitions over the same
period that contributed to results.
Segment Performance
All of our segments had a strong quarter, with
midstream improving the most from the prior year. The following

FFO from our utilities segment was 8% above the
prior year at $196 million. The base business benefited from
inflation indexation and the commissioning of approximately $500
million of capital into the rate base during the last 12 months.
Results also benefited from the contribution of two Australian
utility acquisitions completed earlier this year. The positive
contributions were partially offset by the impact of increased
borrowing costs at our Brazilian utilities, as well as the prior
year contribution from our North American district energy platform
that we sold last year.
FFO for the transport segment was $203 million
for the quarter, an increase of 12% compared to the prior year.
Results benefited from strong organic growth driven by higher rates
in line with inflation and stronger volumes. Prior year results
included contributions from businesses that were sold including our
U.S. container terminal in the second quarter and our Chilean toll
road operation in 2021.
Our midstream segment generated $172 million of
FFO, an approximately 65% increase over the prior year. This result
was primarily due to the contribution from our diversified Canadian
midstream operations, which only partially contributed in the
comparable period. At a base business level, results continue to be
strong with high utilization of our infrastructure and elevated
market sensitive revenues.
Our highly contracted data businesses continue
to perform well in the current environment with FFO increasing to
$60 million for the quarter. Underlying growth from additional
points of presence, incremental megawatts commissioned, and
inflationary price escalators were partially offset by the impact
of foreign exchange during the quarter.
Update on Strategic Initiatives
In August, we announced a partnership with Intel
Corporation to invest in a $30 billion semiconductor foundry in
Arizona. Brookfield will be providing approximately $15 billion
over the construction period for a 49% interest in the facility.
The majority of our capital commitment has been sourced from
non-recourse debt, with base interest rate exposure fully hedged
concurrent with signing. Moreover, the majority of the Brookfield’s
approximately $2 billion equity investment ($500 million net to
BIP) is back-end weighted closer to the operational phase of the
project.
This investment is structured to achieve an
attractive risk-adjusted return. We draw parallels to other data
investments such as hyperscale data centers that are generally
contracted on a long-term basis, with highly creditworthy
counterparties, where we do not assume technological risk. In this
instance, we view Intel to be a creditworthy and market-leading
partner. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2022
and is thematically an example of the large-scale capital required
to support the onshoring of critical supply chains.
For the balance of the year, our focus will be
on closing the remaining two announced transactions, HomeServe and
DFMG, in Q4 2022 and Q1 2023, respectively. Once closed, we will
transition our focus to the execution of our growth plans in both
businesses.
- At HomeServe, we are splitting the
company’s U.S. and European operations to integrate them with
existing portfolio businesses in each geography. We plan to
accelerate growth by expanding our residential infrastructure
product and service offering to a wider customer base.
- At DFMG, we are acquiring a marquee
portfolio of 36,000 towers in Germany and Austria that also
includes a greenfield development portfolio of an additional 5,200
build-to-suit towers. These additional towers are to be constructed
over the next five-years and underpinned by the credit quality of
Deutsche Telekom. In addition to the built-in organic growth, we
plan to use this business as a platform for follow-on opportunities
in the fragmented European telecom tower market.
On the capital recycling front, earlier this
year, we signed agreements to sell three mature businesses for
approximately $600 million of proceeds. These sales were in
addition to the sale of our U.S. container terminal that closed
earlier this year for approximately $350 million. Of the three
secured sales, our New Zealand telecom tower portfolio sale closed
November 1st, our Brazilian electricity transmission lines are
expected to close in November and the Indian toll roads are on
track to close by year end. In addition, several sales processes
are underway that, combined, are expected to generate approximately
$1.5 billion of proceeds.
Distribution and Dividend
Declaration
The Board of Directors of BIP has declared a
quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.36 per unit, payable on
December 30, 2022 to unitholders of record as at the close of
business on November 30, 2022. 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 $0.36 per share, also payable on
December 30, 2022 to shareholders of record as at the close of
business on November 30, 2022.

Average number of limited partnership units outstanding on a time
weighted average basis for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2022 were 458.2 million and

443.3 million).
-
On June 10, 2022, Brookfield Infrastructure completed a
three-for-two stock split of BIP 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. Brookfield
Infrastructure’s preferred units were not affected by the stock
split. All historical unit and share counts, as well as per
unit/share disclosures have been adjusted to effect for the change
in units due to the stock split.
-
We define FFO as net income excluding the impact of depreciation
and amortization, deferred income taxes, mark-to-market on hedging
items 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.
-
Average number of partnership units outstanding on a fully diluted
time weighted average basis for the three and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2022 were 771.3 million and
771.2 million (2021: 710.7 million and
702.0 million).

FFO contribution from investments in associates and joint ventures
correspond to the FFO attributable to the partnership that are
generated by its investments in associates and joint ventures
accounted for using the equity method.
-
Gains on disposition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures
are presented net of gains/losses relating to foreign currency
translation reclassified from accumulated comprehensive income to
other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statement of Operating
Results.
-
Other expense corresponds to amounts that are not related to the
revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring cash
operating items necessary for business operations. Other
income/expenses excluded from FFO primarily includes gains on the
disposition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures,
acquisition costs, gains/losses on remeasurement of borrowings,
amortization of deferred financing costs, fair value remeasurement
gains/losses, accretion expenses on deferred consideration or asset
retirement obligations, and gains or losses on debt
extinguishment.
-
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 partnership is able
to remove the portion of FFO earned at non-wholly owned
subsidiaries that are not attributable to our partnership.

Notes:
The Statements of Funds from Operations per unit

Partnership’s Supplemental Information and differs from net income
per limited partnership unit as presented in Brookfield
Infrastructure’s Consolidated Statements of Operating Results on
page 7 of this release, which is prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Management uses funds from operations per unit (FFO per unit) as a
key measure to evaluate operating performance. Readers are
encouraged to consider both measures in assessing Brookfield
Infrastructure’s results.
Brookfield Infrastructure
CorporationReports Third Quarter 2022
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
$0.36 per class A exchangeable subordinate voting share of BIPC (a
“Share”), payable on December 30, 2022 to shareholders of record as
at the close of business on November 30, 2022. 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 BIP (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 thoroughly
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
www.brookfield.com/infrastructure. Copies of the Partnership’s
continuous disclosure filings are available electronically on EDGAR
on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on SEDAR at
www.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 net income of $331 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2022, compared to $213
million in the prior year. Current quarter earnings benefited from
$149 million of incremental revaluation gains on our Shares that
are classified as liabilities under IFRS and organic growth,
partially offset by foreign currency translation losses.
FFO increased to $119 million this quarter,
representing a 6% increase compared to the same period in the prior
year. The current quarter benefited from capital commissioned into
rate base, higher connections activity at our U.K. regulated
distribution business, inflationary tariff increases and the
acquisition of our Australian regulated utility earlier this year.
These benefits were partially offset by an increase in financing
costs resulting from higher rates and incremental borrowings at our
Brazilian regulated transmission operation, as well as an increase
in the base management fee following growth in our market
capitalization.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking
Statements
This news release may contain forward-looking
information within the meaning of Canadian provincial securities
laws and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section
27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of
the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, “safe harbor”
provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 and in any applicable Canadian securities
regulations. The words “believe”, “expect”, “will” derivatives
thereof and other expressions which are predictions of or indicate
future events, trends or prospects and which do not relate to
historical matters, identify the above mentioned and other
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this news
release include statements regarding the three-for-two split of
BIP’s and BIPC’s respective units and Shares, the impact of the
market price of BIP’s units and the combined business performance
of our company and BIP as a whole on the market price of the
Shares. Although Brookfield Infrastructure believes that these
forward-looking statements and information are based upon
reasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should not
place undue reliance on them, or any other forward-looking
statements or information in this news release. The future
performance and prospects of Brookfield Infrastructure are subject
to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Factors
that could cause actual results of Brookfield Infrastructure to
differ materially from those contemplated or implied by the
statements in this news release include general economic conditions
in the jurisdictions in which we operate and elsewhere which may
impact the markets for our products and services, the ability to
achieve growth within Brookfield Infrastructure’s businesses and in
particular completion on time and on budget of various large
capital projects, which themselves depend on access to capital and
continuing favorable commodity prices, and our ability to achieve
the milestones necessary to deliver the targeted returns to our
unitholders, the impact of market conditions on our businesses, the
fact that success of Brookfield Infrastructure is dependent on
market demand for an infrastructure company, which is unknown, the
availability of equity and debt financing for Brookfield
Infrastructure, the impact of health pandemics such as COVID-19 on
our business and operations, the ability to effectively complete
transactions in the competitive infrastructure space (including the
ability to complete announced and potential transactions that may
be subject to conditions precedent, and the inability to reach
final agreement with counterparties to transactions being currently
pursued, given that there can be no assurance that any such
transaction will be agreed to or completed) and to integrate
acquisitions into existing operations, the future performance of
these acquisitions, changes in technology which have the potential
to disrupt the business and industries in which we invest, the
market conditions of key commodities, the price, supply or demand
for which can have a significant impact upon the financial and
operating performance of our business and other risks and factors
described in the documents filed by BIPC with the securities
regulators in Canada and the United States including “Risk Factors”
in BIPC’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and other risks
and factors that are described therein. Except as required by law,
Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation undertakes no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or
information, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise.
-
We define FFO as net income excluding the impact of depreciation
and amortization, deferred income taxes, mark-to-market on hedging
items 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 also
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. FFO includes
balances attributable to our company generated by investments in
associates 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 16 of this
release. Readers are encouraged to consider both measures in
assessing our company’s results.

-
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.
-
Other (income) expenses correspond to amounts that are not related
to the revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring
cash operating items necessary for business operations. Other
(income) expenses excluded from FFO primarily include fair value
remeasurement gains/losses and accretion expense on deferred
consideration.
-
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 the partnership.
