Brookfield Infrastructure reported net income for the quarter of $11 million (a loss of $0.04 per unit) compared
to net income of $78 million ($0.16 per unit) in the prior year. While net income was higher across all of our operating segments
compared to 2016, these results were offset by the impact of non-cash movements relating to foreign currency hedges. The prior
period also included a non-recurring gain of $92 million recorded in our ports business.
FFO of $301 million increased by 28% compared to the prior year driven by contribution from the recent
acquisition of our regulated gas transmission business in Brazil and strong organic growth. Our payout ratio6 for the
period was 65%, which remains within our target range of 60-70%.
“FFO per unit continues to grow as we progress through the second half of the year, up 19% since last year,”
said Sam Pollock, Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Infrastructure. “A strong global economy is fueling the need for ongoing
infrastructure capital, and we are well-positioned to participate through our capital backlog and new investment
opportunities.”
Segment Performance
The utilities segment generated FFO of $170 million, representing a step-change increase over the prior year.
Results benefitted from a sizable contribution from our newly acquired Brazilian regulated gas transmission operations, additions
to rate base and upward inflation adjustments. These results were modestly offset by the impact of the sale of our Canadian
electricity transmission asset last year.
The transport segment posted solid results and delivered FFO of $136 million for the third quarter, an increase
of 21% compared to the prior year. Results for this segment reflected substantial volume growth, particularly in the toll road
business.
The energy segment generated FFO of $48 million in the third quarter, or 20% higher compared to the prior year.
Results reflect the growing contribution from our North American gas transmission business. This business is reporting stronger
results due to higher gas transport volumes, new contracts and reduced leverage levels. Our district energy operations also
performed well, while the gas storage business had weaker results due to lower gas spreads compared to the prior year.
Our communications infrastructure operations in France generated FFO of $19 million in the quarter, which is
consistent with the prior year. Results in local currency terms were higher by 8%, primarily reflecting additional
contribution from growth projects.

Update on Strategic Initiatives
- Indian toll road portfolio – In August, we agreed to acquire two high-quality, well-located roads
in southern India for $100 million (BIP’s share). These roads are in the advanced stages of construction and are therefore
partially tolling, with full commissioning expected in early 2018. This acquisition is a tuck-in to our existing portfolio of
Indian toll roads, bringing BIP’s total road portfolio in this country to over 600 kilometres.
- Indian telecom business – Our agreement to acquire the previously announced $200 million
investment (BIP’s share) in a portfolio of over 40,000 towers from Reliance Telecom was conditional on, among other standard
conditions, the merger of Reliance Communications with Aircel. The merger will not proceed and therefore our transaction as
previously announced will not proceed either. However, we continue to monitor the evolving situation to determine if revised
terms can be agreed upon.
We remain patient in pursuing this and several other potential opportunities in this sector. In particular, we are evaluating a
number of tower portfolios in the hopes of developing a scalable presence in India.
- Peruvian water utility – Closing the acquisition of a Peruvian water irrigation system for an
investment of approximately $15 million (BIP’s share) remains ongoing following receipt of customary regulatory approvals.
Distribution
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.435 per unit, payable on or
