CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of
Canadian provincial securities laws and "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of applicable U.S. and Canadian securities laws. The words "expect",
"estimate", "anticipate", "plan", "believe", "seek", "intend", "forecast", "project", "target" or
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 and information. Forward-
looking statements and information in this presentation include statements regarding
growth in FFO (as defined below) and FFO per unit; participating in a growing asset
class; the likelihood and timing of successfully completing the transactions and other
initiatives referred to in this presentation; the benefits of asset rotation; the ability to
expand margin in an inflationary environment; the limited impacts from changes in
interest and foreign exchange rates; the expansion and commissioning of our capital
backlog; the ability to secure new investment opportunities as a result of current
macroeconomic trends; the integration of newly acquired businesses into our existing
operations; the future prospects and financing of the assets that Brookfield
Infrastructure operates or will operate; our intention to maintain an investment grade
credit rating; the continued growth and expansion of Brookfield Infrastructure and its
businesses; future revenue and distribution growth prospects in general and other
statements with respect to our beliefs, outlooks, plans, expectations and intentions.
These forward-looking statements and information are not historical facts but reflect our
current expectations regarding future results or events and are based on information
currently available to us and on assumptions we believe are reasonable. Although we
believe that our anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by these forward-looking statements and information are based on reasonable
assumptions and expectations, the reader should not place undue reliance on forward-
looking statements and information because they involve assumptions, known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results,
performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements and information. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change
as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us or are
within our control. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and
results of operations and our plans and strategies may vary materially from those
expressed in the forward-looking statements and information herein.
Factors that could cause actual results of Brookfield Infrastructure to differ materially
from those contemplated or implied by the statements in this presentation include
general economic and political 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, 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
performance of global capital markets, the availability and terms of equity and debt
financing for Brookfield Infrastructure, 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, 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, changes in technology which have the potential
to disrupt the business and industries in which we invest, uncertainty with respect to
future sources of investment opportunities, our ability to achieve the milestones
necessary to deliver the targeted returns to our unitholders, our active pipeline of new
investment opportunities and growing backlog of committed organic growth capital
expenditure projects may not be completed as planned, and other risks and factors
described in the documents filed by Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (the
"Partnership") with the securities regulators in Canada and the United States including
under "Risk Factors" in the Partnership's most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, its
most recent interim report, and the prospectus qualifying the special distribution of
BIPC's shares. Except as required by law, Brookfield Infrastructure 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
To measure performance we focus on net income as well as funds from operations
("FFO"), adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO"), adjusted EBITDA, rate base, return
on rate base, adjusted EBITDA to interest ratio, consolidated leverage, corporate
interest coverage, constant currency basis and adjusted EBITDA margin, which we
refer to throughout this presentation. We define FFO 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 define AFFO as FFO less
maintenance capital expenditures. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding
the impact of depreciation and amortization, interest expense, current and deferred
income taxes, breakage and transaction costs and non-cash valuation gains or losses.
We define rate base as a regulated or notionally stipulated asset base. We define
return on rate base as adjusted EBITDA divided by time weighted average rate base.
We define adjusted EBITDA to interest ratio as adjusted EBITDA divided by interest
expense on a proportionate basis, taking into account Brookfield Infrastructure's
ownership in operations. We define consolidated leverage as net debt divided by net
debt plus the market value of Brookfield Infrastructure based on the closing price of
Brookfield Infrastructure's units on the New York Stock Exchange (assuming full
conversion of Brookfield's interest in Brookfield Infrastructure into units of Brookfield
Infrastructure). We define corporate interest coverage as AFFO plus interest expense
incurred on corporate debt divided by interest expense incurred on corporate debt. We
define constant currency basis as current period earnings translated at prior period
foreign exchange rates which allows the Partnership to remove the impact of changes
in rates from our operating results. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted
EBITDA divided by revenues. These measures are not calculated in accordance with,
and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). These measures are therefore unlikely to be comparable
to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures have limitations as
analytical tools. See the Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures section of the
Partnership's most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and most recent interim report
for a more fulsome discussion including reconciliations to the most directly comparable
IFRS measures.
