BROOKFIELD, News, Nov. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (Brookfield Infrastructure, BIP, or the Partnership) (NYSE:BIP, TSX:BIP) today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
“Brookfield Infrastructure delivered another solid quarter, generating strong financial results and achieving our annual growth and asset sale objectives,” said Sam Pollock, Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Infrastructure. “We enter 2026 from a position of strength, with a substantial runway for growth that is further accelerated by an expanded opportunity set driven by AI infrastructure.”
Overview
Brookfield Infrastructure generated funds from operations (FFO) per unit of $0.83, a 9% increase compared to the previous year, highlighting the continued strength and stability of our financial performance.
These results were delivered despite FFO contributions foregone with a record year to date of asset sales. We generated over $3 billion in sale proceeds across 12 transactions, the majority of which have already closed. Combined, these transactions crystallize a realized IRR of over 20% and a 4x multiple of our capital.
Approximately $1 billion of these proceeds were recycled into new acquisitions that closed during the quarter and partially contributed to results. Additionally, we have deployed over $500 million in new investments across four transactions, the majority of which are expected to close in the fourth quarter or early next year.

Brookfield Infrastructure reported net income of $440 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, up substantially from last year. Current quarter results benefited from strong operational performance and realized gains associated with our capital recycling activities, partially offset by higher borrowing costs incurred to fund recent growth initiatives.
FFO for the third quarter was $654 million, representing a 9% increase compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by strong organic growth, capturing the inflationary benefits embedded in our portfolio, increased revenues in our midstream segment, and the commissioning of over $1 billion in new capital projects from our backlog over the last 12 months. Our results were also supported by the partial contribution from new acquisitions completed during the quarter, which was more than offset by the foregone income associated with completed asset sales.
Strategic Initiatives
We have met our deployment objective for the year, securing six new investments totaling over $1.5 billion at our share, including the first project under a newly established $5 billion framework agreement with Bloom Energy Corporation to install up to 1 GW of behind the meter power solutions for data centers and AI factories. This project provides a hyperscale customer with 55 MW of power for an AI data center in the U.S. with completion expected in Q4 2025. BIP invested approximately $140 million in the project which should be completed in the fourth quarter.
We also recently secured two utility acquisitions in Asia-Pacific. The first is Clarus, a New Zealand natural gas infrastructure business for an equity purchase price of approximately $270 million (BIP’s share – approximately $70 million). Clarus primarily operates a leading gas transmission, distribution and storage business that represents 85% of the total EBITDA and is fully regulated or long-term contracted with inflation indexation. The remaining 15% is generated by New Zealand’s largest liquified petroleum gas retailer, providing energy across the country including areas not serviced by transmission and distribution infrastructure. This value-based acquisition is highly cash generative resulting in a short payback period of seven years. We expect the transaction to close in Q2 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals.
The second is the acquisition of a South Korean industrial gas business that supplies gaseous nitrogen, clean dry air and other industrial gases to industry-leading and investment-grade semiconductor manufacturers. The business includes a pipeline segment that represents approximately 75% of the consolidated EBITDA and is underpinned by 20-year, minimum take-or-pay offtake agreements, with significant cost pass throughs. The remaining 25% is derived from supplying bulk liquified gases to its pipeline customers, with exclusive feedstock access from Korea’s largest refinery and supported primarily by long-term contracts that have cost pass throughs or inflation indexation. The total equity purchase price is $500 million (BIP’s share – approximately $125 million), and the transaction is expected to close in Q4 2025.
We successfully completed two other transactions this year, including the acquisition of Colonial Enterprises, the largest refined products pipeline in the U.S., in July, and Hotwire Communications, a leading U.S. bulk fiber provider, in September. We continue to advance the acquisition of the second-largest railcar leasing platform in North America, in partnership with GATX, which remains on track to close in Q1 2026 or earlier.
Capital Recycling
The momentum in our asset sale program has continued, having locked in significant value created during our ownership, and showcasing our fully self-funded business model. For the year, we have generated over $3 billion in proceeds and are on track to achieve a further $3 billion over the next 12 to 18 months.
The two most significant and recent sales were completed in the public markets. First, we fully exited our remaining 26% interest in our Australian export terminal at a 9% premium to the prior sale price of a 23% interest in June. We generated $350 million of proceeds, crystallizing a 22% IRR and 4x multiple of capital on our investment.
In mid-October, Brookfield sold a 28% interest in our North American Gas storage platform in the largest initial public offering completed on the Toronto Stock Exchange since May of 2022, raising C$810 million of proceeds (BIP’s share – approximately $230 million). Since the formation of the platform, through a series of acquisitions, EBITDA has grown by more than 4x, driven by operational improvements and favorable market fundamentals. Through strategic initiatives — including the sale of two non-core assets in 2023, enhanced contracting and putting in place a permanent capital structure — the business has meaningfully enhanced the stability and quality of its earnings. We have now realized a 3.2x multiple on our invested capital, while continuing to have a significant interest in the business.
We have been successful in two additional smaller-scale asset sales. During the quarter we sold a 33% stake in our Indian gas transmission operation, retaining a 42% interest in the business. We also entered into an agreement to sell our U.K. intermodal operations that represent approximately half of the European revenues. Total sale proceeds at BIP’s share from these transactions are expected to be approximately $100 million.

The utilities segment generated FFO of $190 million, which was slightly ahead of the prior year. Results benefited from inflation indexation in addition to contributions from over $450 million of capital added to the rate base. The strong underlying performance was partially offset by higher borrowing costs associated with an increase in interest rates in Brazil, and the sale of our Mexican regulated natural gas transmission business in Q1 2025.
FFO for the transport segment was $286 million, compared to $308 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the sale of our interest in an Australian export terminal and the sale of a 33% interest in a portfolio of fully contracted containers at our global intermodal logistics business, which collectively had no contribution in the current quarter. After adjusting for these impacts, FFO was slightly ahead of the prior year as the impact of rate increases of 1% across our rail networks and 5% across our toll road portfolio more than offset lower volumes across our Australian rail business.
Our midstream segment generated FFO of $156 million, up 6% compared to the same period last year. We experienced strong customer activity levels and asset utilization across our portfolio, particularly at our Canadian diversified midstream operation. Notably, we completed the acquisition of Colonial Enterprises during the quarter and the partial earnings contributions were offset by lost income associated with the sale of our U.S. gas pipeline in Q2 2025.
The data segment generated FFO of $138 million, representing a step change increase of 62% compared to the prior year. The increase was driven by a full quarter contribution from the tuck-in acquisition of a tower portfolio in India completed last year and strong organic growth across our data storage businesses. This growth included income earned by our global data center developers, the commissioning of 80 MW of capacity at our hyperscale data centers and 45 MW of new billings initiated at our U.S. retail colocation data center operation.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
The capital markets were favorable throughout the third quarter, characterized by robust new issuance activity and tightening credit spreads. During the period, we executed financings to enhance liquidity, support growth initiatives and refinance near-term maturities. This included a corporate issuance of medium-term notes in September across two tranches totaling C$700 million. The issuance had a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4% and was priced at our tightest credit spreads ever.
Our balance sheet remains well-capitalized. As a result of our proactive approach to refinancing, less than 1% of our non-recourse debt is maturing over the next 12 months and we maintain a well-laddered maturity profile, with a weighted average maturity of approximately seven years. Total liquidity at the end of the third quarter was $5.5 billion, including $2.5 billion at the corporate level and over $1.4 billion in cash retained at our operating businesses. This strong liquidity position provides us with the confidence to pursue a variety of growth opportunities as they arise.
Distribution and Dividend Declaration
The Board of Directors of BIP declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.43 per unit, payable on December 31, 2025 to unitholders of record as at the close of business on November 28, 2025. 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 3, Series 9 and Series 11 has been declared, which will also be payable on December 31, 2025 to holders on November 28, 2025. The Series 13 and Series 14 regular quarterly dividends have also been declared and will be payable on December 15, 2025 to holders on November 28, 2025. In conjunction with the Partnership’s distribution declaration, the Board of Directors of BIPC has declared an equivalent quarterly dividend of $0.43 per share, also payable on December 31, 2025 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on November 28, 2025.
Unit Repurchases and Establishment of an ATM Program
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. intends to increase repurchases of its outstanding limited partnership units (LP Units) under and in accordance with its normal course issuer bid (NCIB) program, repurchasing LP Units when they represent attractive value for repurchase. Separately, but at the same time, Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation is exploring establishing an at-the-market (ATM) equity program, providing it with the flexibility to issue additional BIPC Shares directly into the market at times when conditions are favorable.
Overall, any ATM program is expected to be non-dilutive as it is expected that the combined number of LP Units and BIPC Shares of Brookfield Infrastructure over the course of a program will be unchanged, however, fluctuations may occur from time to time depending on market dynamics. Overall, activity under the NCIB program and any ATM program are intended to further strengthen Brookfield Infrastructure’s financial position while increasing the public float and liquidity of BIPC to capitalize on growing demand for its Shares. There can be no assurance as to whether or when an ATM program would be established, and its establishment is subject to entering into a definitive agreement with dealers or agents for the program and the filing of one or more prospectus supplements in the U.S. and Canada.

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 and class A.2 exchangeable shares.
Average number of limited partnership units outstanding on a time weighted average basis for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 of 461.1 million and 459.8 million, respectively (2024: 461.7 million and 461.5 million).
We define FFO as net income excluding the impact of certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, mark-to-market gains (losses) and other income (expenses) that are not related to normal revenue earning activities or that are not normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary for business operations. FFO includes income (loss) earned by data center developers which is generated through development, commercialization, and sale of completed sites. The inclusion of this income reflects the operating performance of such investments and includes income (or losses) recognized in the current and prior periods. FFO also 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 11 of this release. Readers are encouraged to consider both measures in assessing our company’s results.
Average number of partnership units outstanding on a fully diluted time weighted average basis for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 was 791.5 million and 790.2 million, respectively (2024: 792.2 million and 792.1 million).
