Brookfield Infrastructure (NYSE: BIP; TSX: BIP.UN) today announced
its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
“The successful acquisition of Inter Pipeline
marked a significant milestone for Brookfield Infrastructure and
third quarter results were supported by its initial contribution,
as well as strong organic growth within our base business,” said
Sam Pollock, Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Infrastructure.
“Looking ahead, we are confident in our ability to capitalize on
new investment opportunities of scale across our target sectors and
geographies.”

Brookfield reported net income of $413 million
($0.72 per unit) for the three-month period ended September 30,
2021 compared to $5 million (a loss of $0.12 per unit) in the prior
year. Net income increased compared to the prior year as the
current period benefited from organic growth at the high-end of our
target range, contributions from recently closed acquisitions, and
a gain on the sale of our U.S. district energy operation which
closed in July.
Funds from Operations (or FFO) of $422 million
for the quarter reflects a 16% increase compared with the same
period last year. Results were supported by strong growth from our
base business and the initial contribution from Inter Pipeline Ltd.
("IPL"). Excluding the recovery of shutdown-related effects
experienced in 2020, organic growth was robust at 9%. This includes
inflationary tariff increases and the commissioning of over
$800 million in new capital projects in the last twelve
months. Current quarter results exclude the impact related to the
sale of various assets, which raised almost $2 billion of net
proceeds for Brookfield Infrastructure this year.
Segment Performance
The utilities segment generated FFO of $182
million compared with $169 million in the prior year. Organic
growth for the segment of 7% reflects inflation indexation and the
commissioning of over $400 million of capital into the rate base
during the last 12 months. Results also benefited from the
acquisition of the remaining interest in our Brazilian regulated
gas transmission operation. Last year’s results included our U.K.
smart meter portfolio and North American district energy platform,
which were divested earlier this year.
FFO for the transport segment was $181 million,
an improvement of approximately 18% compared with the prior year.
Results benefited from strong organic growth driven by economic
recovery-fueled volumes and inflationary tariff increases. Growth
is also attributable to a full-quarter contribution from our U.S.
liquified natural gas (LNG) export terminal. Prior year results
included a full contribution from our Australian export terminal,
of which we sold a 22% stake in December 2020.
FFO for the midstream segment totaled $103
million, an annual increase of more than 55%. Results reflect a
partial contribution from IPL, in addition to strong gas
transportation volumes and the benefit of elevated commodity prices
across our existing businesses. Prior year results reflected an
additional 12.5% ownership in our U.S. gas pipeline, which was sold
in March.
The data segment recorded FFO of $58 million, a
16% increase compared with the prior year. This reflects a full
quarter of results from our Indian telecom tower business and
organic growth within our existing operations. The contribution
from organic growth includes inflationary price increases and the
build-to-suit tower and fiber-to-the-home programs at our French
telecom operation.

Update on Strategic Initiatives
We completed or advanced several important
initiatives in, and subsequent to, the third quarter of 2021:
- Inter Pipeline
Ltd. – We completed the privatization of IPL on October 28
and have made good initial progress implementing our 100-day plan.
Initial activities include driving the construction and
commissioning of the Heartland petrochemical complex (HPC) to
ensure an on-time start-up in 2022, identifying areas for
optimization and efficiency post-closing and further identifying
near-term commercial opportunities to improve profitability of the
business. As part of the commercial review, we are highly focused
on opportunities where we can assist customers in reaching their
net-zero goals.
-
Australian Regulated Utility – Earlier this week,
it was announced that Brookfield’s open-ended core infrastructure
fund, alongside institutional partners, reached an agreement to
acquire 100% of AusNet Services Ltd., a publicly traded regulated
utility company in Australia for approximately A$17.8 billion on an
enterprise value basis (A$8.3 billion equity value). These are
high-quality, critical, regulated utilities that provide essential
services within Victoria and are part of Australia’s backbone
electricity transmission grid. The transaction is targeted to close
in the second quarter of 2022, and BIP is expected to invest
approximately $500 million.
-
Chilean Toll Road Operation – During the quarter,
we signed an agreement to divest Brookfield’s remaining 34% stake
in our Chilean toll road operation. The transaction is expected to
close this month and will generate net proceeds to Brookfield
Infrastructure of approximately $160 million. This equates to
an enterprise value consistent with the prior sales in 2019 and
2020 and an overall investment internal rate of return of
approximately 16%.
Distribution and Dividend
Declaration
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly
distribution in the amount of $0.51 per unit, payable on December
31, 2021 to unitholders of record as at the close of business on
November 30, 2021. This distribution represents a 5% increase
compared to the prior year. The regular quarterly dividends on the
Cumulative Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 1,
Series 3, Series 7, 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 $0.51 per share, also payable on December 31, 2021 to
shareholders of record as at the close of business on November 30,
2021.

operations on a segmented basis, net of underlying liabilities and
non-controlling interests, and includes partnership capital
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.
The Statements of Partnership Capital above are
prepared on a basis that is consistent with the Partnership’s
Supplemental Information and differs from the Brookfield
Infrastructure’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position on

Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation
ReportsThird Quarter 2021 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
$0.51 per class A exchangeable subordinate voting share of BIPC (a
“Share”), payable on December 31, 2021 to shareholders of record as
at the close of business on November 30, 2021. This dividend is
identical in amount per Share and has identical record and payment
dates to the quarterly distribution announced today by BIP 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
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.
Net income, after adjusting for revaluation and
dividends paid on our Shares that are classified as liabilities
under IFRS, was $46 million for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2021. This represents an increase of approximately
$30 million over the prior year as results benefited from capital
commissioned into rate base and the recovery of connections
activity at our U.K. regulated distribution business, as well as
inflationary tariff increases and an increased ownership interest
at our Brazilian regulated gas transmission business.
Our business generated FFO of $112 million for
the quarter, representing a 13% increase compared to the same
period of the prior year. FFO in the current quarter benefited from
inflationary-indexation and additions to rate base, as well as the
acquisition of an additional interest in our Brazilian regulated
gas transmission business. Last year’s results included our U.K.
smart meter portfolio which was divested earlier this year.

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
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 (including the availability,
distribution and acceptance of effective vaccines), 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.
-
FFO is defined as net income excluding the impact of depreciation
and amortization, deferred income taxes, breakage and transaction
costs, and non-cash valuation gains or losses. We also exclude from
FFO dividends paid to the holders of the Shares which are presented
as interest expense, as well as interest expense on loans payable
to the Partnership which represent the Partnership’s investment in
our company. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is available on
page 16 of this release.

Notes:
Funds from operations in this statement is on a
segmented basis and represents the operations of Brookfield
Infrastructure Corporation net of charges associated with related
liabilities and non-controlling interests. Adjusted EBITDA is
defined as FFO excluding the impact of interest expense and other
income or expenses. Net income attributable to shareholders
includes net income attributable to the Partnership prior to and
after the special distribution.
The Statements of Funds from Operations above
are prepared on a basis that differs from net income as presented
in Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation’s Consolidated Statements
of Operating Results on page 14 of this release, which is prepared
in accordance with IFRS. Management uses FFO as a key measure to
evaluate operating performance. Readers are encouraged to consider
both measures in assessing our company’s results.
