Brookfield Infrastructure reported net income for the quarter of $78 million ($0.16 per unit) compared to $123 million ($0.31
per unit) in the prior year as higher earnings generated by the business were offset by movements in fair value associated with
our hedging activities.
Our FFO during the quarter of $235 million benefitted from solid organic growth across the business. In addition, the
increased ownership in our North American natural gas transmission and Brazilian toll road businesses, and contributions from
several acquisitions positively impacted results during the period. These factors more than offset the impact of foreign exchange
where the U.S. dollar strengthened compared to the various currencies we are exposed to. Our payout ratio(5) for the
quarter was 68%, which remains within our target range of 60-70%.
"We continue to build momentum heading into 2017. We delivered 12% FFO per unit growth and completed three transactions in the
third quarter," said Sam Pollock, CEO of Brookfield Infrastructure. "In the upcoming years, we expect to benefit from a number of
current growth initiatives. We will be investing over $1.1 billion in the build-out of our Brazilian gas and electricity
transmission business and have $1.5 billion of growth projects that will be coming online over the next 12-18 months."
Segment Performance
Our utilities segment generated FFO of $102 million for the quarter, compared to $99 million last year. Results for this
segment increased as a result of the strength in connection activity in our UK regulated distribution business, inflation
indexation across our operations and the commissioning of capital into the rate base over the past 12 months. The impact of
these positive results more than offset lower contribution from our regulated terminal that experienced a reduction in its return
as a result of its recent regulatory reset.
Our transport segment generated FFO of $112 million in the third quarter, which was 9% ahead of prior year. These results
were driven by higher tariffs and volumes across a number of our operations. Our results also reflect the contribution from
the incremental interest we acquired in our Brazilian toll road business in May, new toll road investments in India and Peru, and
partial contribution from our recently closed Australian ports business. The impact of these positive factors were modestly
offset by foreign exchange and tariff relief that we extended to one of our Australian rail clients.
Our energy segment generated FFO of $40 million in the third quarter, compared to $19 million last year. This improvement
reflects the incremental contribution from increased ownership and reduced leverage in our North American natural gas
transmission business, contribution from our newly acquired gas storage business in North America, as well as strong same-store
growth of 15%.
Our French communications infrastructure operations generated FFO of $19 million, which is consistent with the prior year.

Update on Strategic Initiatives
We have executed on a number of initiatives in the third quarter that will contribute meaningfully to our businesses.
- Recently completed acquisitions - In recent months, we closed on three investments totaling $660
million of capital, consisting of a group of Australian ports, Peruvian toll roads and a North American gas storage
business. These transactions were completed in the third quarter and will contribute a full quarter of results beginning
in the fourth quarter. We expect the transactions to generate attractive going-in yields of approximately 8-10% on a
combined basis.
-
Build-out of our gas and electricity transmission businesses - We plan to deploy over $1.1 billion
in the gas and electricity utility sectors. Given the attractive nature of the assets, we expect they will be very
accretive to our overall results.
- In September, alongside several of our institutional partners, we announced an agreement to acquire a 90% controlling
stake in Nova Transportadora do Sudeste S.A. ("NTS"), from Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. ("Petrobras"), for total consideration
of $5.2 billion. Brookfield Infrastructure's investment will be a minimum of 20% of the total transaction,
representing approximately $825 million of the consideration payable on closing. NTS owns the backbone natural gas
transmission system that serves the core economic regions in the highly populated states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and
Minas Gerais in South Central Brazil. These uniquely-positioned long-life assets will earn revenues that are indexed
to inflation, and have no volume risk.
- Additionally, we expect to invest approximately $300 million in a business that is developing approximately 4,200 km of
greenfield electricity transmission lines, including projects that were awarded to us under government auctions last week.
These are attractive 30-year concession assets that earn cash flows under a stable, availability-based regulatory
framework. Construction of these projects is underway and they will be commissioned over the next five years.
We are also pursuing the acquisition of various networks of operating electricity transmission lines, in addition to securing
greenfield projects planned for construction in the next few years. We are encouraged by the number of prospective
investments that are ahead of us as we strive to build a transmission business of meaningful scale.
Appointment of a New Director
Brookfield Infrastructure is also pleased to announce the appointment of William Cox to the Board of Brookfield Infrastructure
Partners Limited, effective November 3, 2016. William Cox is the President of The Waterfront, the owner and manager of real
estate and retail property in Bermuda, and has a wealth of experience operating a number of businesses in senior executive
positions over his career. In conjunction with this addition, Don Mackenzie is stepping off the Board. Derek Pannell,
Chairman of the Board, stated "I am very pleased to welcome William Cox to the Board and look forward to his business
insights. William Cox is a seasoned business executive who will be very helpful in assisting Brookfield Infrastructure from
an operational and organizational perspective as it continues to grow and expand its businesses. I would also like to thank Don
Mackenzie for his advice and guidance since joining the Board in 2013. His commitment to the success of Brookfield
Infrastructure has been greatly appreciated."
Distributions
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.39 per unit, payable on December 30, 2016 to
unitholders of record as at the close of business on November 30, 2016 ("Q4 2016 distribution"). The regular quarterly
dividends on the Cumulative Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 1, Series 3 and Series 5 have also been
declared.
The quarterly distributions payable on the limited partnership units ("LP units") are declared in U.S. dollars. Registered
unitholders who are U.S. residents receive their dividends in U.S. dollars, unless they request the Canadian dollar equivalent.
Beginning with the Q4 2016 distribution, registered unitholders who are Canadian residents and beneficial unitholders whose units
are registered in the name of the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited ("CDS") or a name other than their own name (i.e.,
generally those holding their LP Units with a Canadian brokerage), will receive their dividends in the Canadian dollar
equivalent, unless they request to receive dividends in U.S. dollars. The Canadian dollar equivalent of the quarterly dividend is
based on the Bank of Canada noon exchange rate on the record date for the dividend.
