Brookfield Infrastructure Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results

BROOKFIELD, News, Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (Brookfield Infrastructure, BIP, or the Partnership) (NYSE:BIP, TSX:BIP) today announced its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

"We delivered strong second-quarter results driven by robust organic growth and the positive impact of several years of outsized capital deployment," said Sam Pollock, Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners. "The outlook for growth is very favorable as the surge in AI adoption is generating substantial capital deployment opportunities across our data, electric utility and natural gas sectors."

Brookfield Infrastructure reported net income of $8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 compared to $378 million in the prior year. Current quarter results benefited from contributions at our global intermodal logistics operation, but some of that was offset by increased borrowing costs, and the prior comparative period included gains on our capital recycling program.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the second quarter was $608 million, a 10% increase over the prior year period. The current quarter benefited from organic growth that was at the midpoint of our target range, as well as recent acquisitions that contributed to results. This included a continuation of the strong performance at our global intermodal logistics operation, higher contributions from our increased stake in our Brazilian integrated rail and logistics provider and three data center platform investments. The strong underlying performance in the second quarter was also driven by inflationary rate increases across our utilities and transport assets, higher revenues in our midstream operations and the commissioning of over $1 billion at our share of new capital from our backlog over the last 12 months. These positive drivers were partially offset by assets sold last year that are no longer contributing income, higher interest costs and foreign exchange.

Segment Performance

The following table presents FFO by segment:

	For the three months ended June 30								For the six months ended June 30
US$ millions, unaudited1		2024				2023				2024				2023
FFO by segment
Utilities	$	180			$	224			$	370			$	432
Transport		319				199				621				391
Midstream		143				161				313				359

Corporate		(112	)			(104	)			(227	)			(218	)
FFO4	$	608			$	552			$	1,223			$	1,106

The utilities segment generated FFO of $180 million, compared to $224 million in the same period last year. The decline is primarily attributable to capital recycling activity, which includes the sale of our interest in an Australian regulated utility business and additional interest associated with a financing completed at our Brazilian regulated gas transmission business in the first quarter. The base business performed well during the quarter due to the continued benefit of inflation indexation and the commissioning of over $450 million of capital into the rate base over the last twelve months.

The transport segment generated FFO of $319 million, which represents a 60% increase over the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to our acquisition of a global intermodal logistics operation and an incremental 10% stake in our Brazilian integrated rail and logistics operation that closed in the first quarter. The remaining businesses also performed well, achieving organic growth of 9%, which was primarily driven by inflationary tariff increases across the portfolio.

Our midstream segment generated FFO of $143 million, which is ahead of the prior year after excluding the impact of capital recycling initiatives. Strong demand and customer activity levels across our critical midstream assets continue to benefit results, most prevalent at our North American gas storage business where we continue to add contract duration and execute these contracts at much higher rates compared to the prior years. Overall segment results were impacted by the financing of our U.S. gas pipeline, as well as the impact of turnaround activity within our Canadian diversified midstream operation.

FFO from our data segment was $78 million, representing an 8% increase over the same period last year. These results reflect the contribution from recently completed acquisitions, including the purchase of 40 retail colocation sites. This growth was partially offset by the loss of income due to the sale of our New Zealand integrated distribution business in June 2023.

Update on Strategic Initiatives

One of the benefits of our business is that we have many avenues to deploy capital. In periods where large-scale M&A activity is lower, we focus heavily on tuck-in, follow-on and organic growth opportunities embedded in our portfolio. In 2024 alone, we secured or completed seven follow-on acquisitions comprising nearly $4 billion of enterprise value. This included the acquisition of 40 data center sites due to a previous owner mismanaging their capital structure and ending up in bankruptcy. It also included the follow-on acquisition of a 10% stake in our Brazilian integrated rail and port logistics operation and the bolt-on acquisition of a tower portfolio in India, which remains on track to close early in the fourth quarter or sooner.

We also maintain a large organic growth project backlog, which has increased by 15% from this time last year to $7.7 billion. In our midstream sector, we are supporting increased producer activity through contracted infrastructure projects including pipeline expansions and incremental gathering and processing facility capacity. Combined, these projects represent almost $800 million in capital, which will generate over $115 million in EBITDA on a 100% basis and fully contribute to results in the next two years. In our data segment, we are commercializing our existing land bank and investing over $1 billion in near-term growth capital to build data centers for our hyperscale customers, while supporting their growth ambitions through the strategic acquisition of land parcels in Athens, Chicago, Frankfurt, Milan and Phoenix.

With respect to new investments, market conditions are trending positively, and as a result we expect the back half of 2024 to be active for M&A. Much of this is driven by the improved interest rate environment as the Bank of Canada and the European Central Bank are leading the way with a loosening of their monetary policies. Additionally, the large industry tailwinds such as AI are creating opportunities for well capitalized businesses like ours where we are an obvious partner of choice for technology companies that are seeking alternative access to private capital. Our novel transaction with Intel from several years ago is providing the blueprint for similar large-scale opportunities, which are gaining momentum.

        

Lastly, on capital recycling, we are extremely active and have three advanced processes in a number of areas. We have six further asset sales progressing that, when combined with our advanced processes, are expected to generate almost $2.5 billion in proceeds on a net to BIP basis over the coming quarters. This quarter, we monetized assets totaling approximately $210 million, which brings our total capital recycling for the year to $1.4 billion.

Distribution and Dividend Declaration

The Board of Directors of BIP declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.405 per unit, payable on September 27, 2024 to unitholders of record as at the close of business on August 30, 2024. 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 $0.405 per share, also payable on September 27, 2024 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on August 30, 2024.

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, 2024 was 461.5 million and 461.4 million, respectively (2023: 458.7 million and 458.5 million).
4. 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.
5. Average number of partnership units outstanding on a fully diluted time weighted average basis for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 was 792.1 million and 792.1 million, respectively (2023: 771.6 million and 771.5 million).

Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results

The Board of Directors of Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation ("BIPC" or our "company") ((NYSE, TSX:BIPC) today declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.405 per class A exchangeable subordinate voting share of BIPC (a "Share"), payable on September 27, 2024 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on August 30, 2024. 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). 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://sedarplus.ca.

Results

The net income of BIPC is captured in the Partnership's financial statements and results.

BIPC reported net income of $643 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $154 million in the prior year. After removing the impact of the revaluation on our own Shares that are classified as liabilities under IFRS and the impact of foreign exchange on loans with BIP denominated in Canadian dollars, underlying earnings were 18% higher than the prior year. Current period results benefited from the acquisition of Triton International, our global logistics operation, and capital commissioned into rate base at our U.K. regulated distribution business. These benefits were partially offset by higher financing costs at our businesses as a result of incremental borrowings. Additionally offsetting results was an increase in dividends paid on our exchangeable shares, which are classified as interest expense, due to the 6% increase in our quarterly dividend compared to the prior year and approximately 21.1 million exchangeable shares issued in connection with our acquisition of Triton.
