IMPORTANT NOTICE (continued) 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”) and adjusted EBITDA, 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, non-cash valuation gains or losses and other non-cash items. We define AFFO as FFO less maintenance capital expenditures. We define adjusted EBITDA as FFO excluding the impact of interest expense, cash taxes, and other income (expenses). These measures are not calculated in accordance with, and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by, International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and 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 the Partnership’s most recent interim report for more information on certain of these measures, including reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measures. COMPARABLES Page 5 of this presentation contains comparables regarding the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”), the Standard & Poor’s 500 Utilities Index (the “S&P Utilities Index”), the Alerian Master Limited Partnerships Index (the “Alerian MLP Index”) and the Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Index (“DJB Infrastructure Index”) (“Comparables”). The Comparables are considered to be an appropriate basis for comparison with Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. because these are the key infrastructure-related benchmarks the Partnership compares itself against.. The information relating to the Comparables has been obtained or derived from public sources, and has not been verified by Brookfield Infrastructure or the investment dealers attending this presentation. Risks relating to the Comparables, including risks in making an investment decision based on the comparables, include those discussed under the sections “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” of the Partnership’s short form base shelf prospectus (with such adjustments as necessary in respect of the Comparables). Investors will not be entitled to a remedy under applicable Canadian securities legislation in the event that the Comparables contain a misrepresentation.

2016 has been another successful year for the business 6 Reflecting progress on executing our long-term strategy: Build out of key operating groups Continued to expand operating groups – most significant being the execution of Brazilian transmission strategy that we set out as key focus for the group in the past 12 to 18 months Executed annual target for capital deployment Deployed and secured transactions of $2.2 billion and grew capital backlog to more than $2 billion – almost double what it was less than two years ago1 Reported strong year to date results FFO per unit up 12% year-over-year2, on the back of organic growth of 10% and contribution from new investments Progressed capital recycling plan Completed sales of European gas distribution and Ontario Transmission business at attractive returns There is no certainty that any or all of the projects comprising the capital backlog will be completed.

Brazil Electrical Transmission Utility 9 Brookfield has identified Brazilian electrical transmission as a high priority roll-up investment strategy Numerous investment opportunities and limited competition Attractive AFFO yield and inflation-linked FFO will further enhance BIP’s overall cash flow profile Long-term organic growth potential Formed 50/50 JV with Grupo ACS to develop seven transmission projects (4,200 km of lines) Total equity investment of ~R$4.2 billion or US$1.2 billion The structure is intended to allow the Brookfield consortium to ultimately own 100% of the assets once construction is completed (call option) BIP’s equity share – ~US$200 - 400 million1 depending on whether call option is exercised POTENTIAL BUILD-OUT OPPORTUNITIES The Brookfield consortium has a 50% ownership interest, which represents a commitment for BIP to deploy ~US$200 million of capital. The Brookfield consortium also has an option to acquire the remaining 50% when construction is completed. The exercise of this option is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the Brookfield consortium will increase its ownership. In the event that this option is exercised, the total equity commitment for BIP would be ~US$400 million.
