Brookfield Infrastructure reported net income
for the year of $233 million ($0.07 per unit) compared to
$410 million ($0.59 per unit) in the prior year or $201
million on a comparable basis; an increase of 16%. Net income for
the year benefited from strong organic growth across our operations
and contributions from recent acquisitions. Prior year results
included a gain of $209 million (net of tax) realized on the sale
of our investment in an electricity transmission business.
FFO of $1.38 billion benefited from solid
organic growth of 9%, and contributions from new investments. Our
per unit FFO was impacted by equity capital that was raised earlier
this year and not yet fully invested and contributing to earnings.
Excluding this impact, our FFO per unit would have increased by 11%
compared to the prior year.
“2019 was one of the most active and positive
years in our company’s history. Our financial results and operating
performance were strong and we added high-quality assets to each of
our operating segments,” said Sam Pollock, Chief Executive Officer
of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners. “Our business is
well-positioned for continued growth and our outlook remains
positive. We are on track to raise $1.5─2 billion of capital from
our ongoing capital recycling program. Our plan is to redeploy
proceeds from asset sales into higher yielding new investments
which should provide for another period of outsized FFO
growth.”
Segment Performance
Our utilities segment contributed FFO of $577
million in 2019. This is consistent with the prior year, which
included the contribution of approximately $25 million from the
Chilean electricity transmission business sold in 2018. The segment
generated organic growth of 8%, reflecting inflation-indexation and
$300 million of capital commissioned into rate base. Results also
benefited from the initial contribution of the North American
regulated natural gas transmission business acquired in October.
These contributions were partially offset by the weakening of
foreign currencies, which lowered results by $14 million.
Our transport segment generated FFO of $530
million, compared to $518 million in the prior year. Organic growth
of 5% was driven by GDP-linked volume increases and higher tariffs
across most of our operations. The segment benefited from strong
agricultural rail volumes in Australia and Brazil, and higher
traffic and tariffs of 3% and 4%, respectively, across our global
toll road portfolio. FFO from our port operations exceeded prior
year levels by approximately 25%, excluding the contribution from
our European port operation which was sold in mid-2019. This
increase primarily reflects growth in container volumes at our U.K.
operations and higher tariffs at our Australian ports.
FFO from our energy segment was $412 million, an
increase of 53% over the prior year. This significant increase is
primarily attributable to the $1.2 billion of capital deployed to
acquire two North American businesses in late 2018 and a natural
gas pipeline in India in the first quarter of 2019. Results also
benefited from organic growth of 16%, which was attributable to
higher volumes at our North American natural gas pipeline business
and new customer connections at our distributed energy businesses
in North America.
FFO from our data infrastructure segment totaled
$136 million in 2019, an increase of over 75% relative to 2018.
This step change in FFO was a result of contributions related to
capital deployed at our French telecommunications business, as well
as four new investments which enabled us to establish our global
data infrastructure franchise. These acquisitions include three
data storage operations in the U.S., Brazil and Australia, as well
as an integrated data distribution business in New Zealand.

Update on Strategic
Initiatives
The fourth quarter was very active from an
investment perspective. We completed two previously announced
acquisitions, investing $750 million (BIP’s share) in a North
American rail business and the federally regulated assets of our
Western Canadian natural gas gathering and processing operation. In
addition, we have successfully expanded our data infrastructure
segment, committing nearly $1 billion (BIP’s share) in three
separate transactions:
- Indian Telecom
Towers – We finalized an agreement with Reliance Jio
to acquire a portfolio of telecom towers in India. We will be
investing up to $400 million (BIP’s share) and expect to complete
this acquisition in the first quarter of 2020.
- U.S. Data Transmission and
Distribution Business – In late December, we entered into
an agreement to acquire 100% of Cincinnati Bell Inc. (“CBB”) in a
take-private transaction investing $480 million (BIP’s share). CBB
is a leading fiber-to-the-home business in the U.S., serving
approximately 1.3 million residential and business customers in
greater Cincinnati and Hawaii. This is an attractive business with
substantial growth prospects. The transaction is subject to
shareholder and regulatory approvals, which, if obtained, would
likely result in a closing of this transaction in late 2020.
- U.K. Telecom
Towers – In December, we completed the acquisition of a
U.K.-based independent wireless infrastructure company, investing
$140 million (BIP’s share). It is comprised of over 2,000 fully
contracted operating towers and distributed antenna systems. The
business is well-positioned to capture expected network growth in
the U.K. and has significant potential to leverage Brookfield’s
real estate holdings to expand into other jurisdictions outside of
the U.K.
We are also making good progress on the next
phase of our capital recycling program. We completed three asset
sales which were announced last quarter, including the divestment
of our Australian district energy and distribution business, our
regulated distribution operation in Colombia and a further 33%
interest in our Chilean toll road business. In total, these
transactions generated net proceeds of $550 million (BIP’s
share).
Furthermore, during the fourth quarter, we
signed a binding agreement to sell our North American electricity
transmission operation for proceeds of approximately $60 million to
BIP. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2020 and generate
an after-tax IRR and multiple of capital of approximately 23% and
3.5 times, respectively.
Distribution Increase
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly
distribution in the amount of $0.5375 per unit, payable on
March 31, 2020 to unitholders of record as at the close of
business on February 28, 2020. This distribution represents a 7%
increase compared to the prior year. The regular quarterly
dividends on the Cumulative Class A Preferred Limited Partnership
Units, Series 1, Series 3, Series 5, Series 7, Series 9 and Series
11 have also been declared, as well as the initial dividend for BIP
Investment Corporation Senior Preferred Shares, Series 1.
Board of Directors Update
After 12 years as Chairman of the Board of
Brookfield Infrastructure, Derek Pannell has stepped aside from his
role as Chairman, but will continue as an independent director. In
conjunction, Anne Schaumburg has agreed to assume the role of Chair
of the company. Anne has served on the Board of Brookfield
Infrastructure for 11 years and has been Chair of the Audit
Committee for the last 10 years. Anne will continue her role as
Chair of the Audit Committee, in addition to her new role as BIP’s
Chair.
Furthermore, Brookfield Infrastructure is
pleased to announce the appointment of Roslyn Kelly to the Board of
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Limited, effective February 7,
2020. Roslyn brings over 25 years of experience in financial
markets. She is currently a Senior Managing Director in
Mediobanca’s Alternative Asset Management Group, based in London.
Ms. Kelly has fulfilled various investment banking and portfolio
management roles throughout her career within several large global
financial institutions. Roslyn will replace John Mullen, who has
stepped down from the Board for personal reasons.
Anne Schaumburg stated, “I am very pleased to
welcome Roslyn Kelly to the Board and look forward to her advice
and guidance. Roslyn is an experienced business executive whose
background will be of great benefit to our global operations.”

with IFRS. Management uses funds from operations (FFO) as a key
measure to evaluate operating performance. Readers are encouraged
to consider both measures in assessing Brookfield Infrastructure’s
results.
