BROOKFIELD, NEWS, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (Brookfield Infrastructure, BIP, or the Partnership) (NYSE: BIP; TSX: BIP.UN) today announced its results for the year ended December 31, 2025.

“In 2025 we exceeded our ambitious $3 billion capital recycling target and funded five new investments, showcasing our self-funding strategy.” said Sam Pollock, Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Infrastructure. “We expect FFO to inflect higher in 2026 as these investments fully contribute to results and we expand our growth pipeline to include AI infrastructure.”

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we reported net income attributable to the partnership of $1.1 billion. Current year results benefited from strong operational performance and realized gains associated with our capital recycling activities, partially offset by mark-to-market changes on our corporate foreign exchange hedging program.

BIP generated funds from operations (FFO) of $2.6 billion or $3.32 on a per unit basis in 2025. This was 10% above our normalized FFO and a 6% increase in total compared to 2024. Organic growth for the year was at the high end of our target range driven by elevated levels of inflation in the countries where we operate, stronger volumes across our critical infrastructure networks and the commissioning of over $1.5 billion of new capital projects from our backlog. In addition, we completed over $1.1 billion of new acquisitions during 2025 that partially contributed to earnings, the impact of which was more than offset by earnings foregone from over $3 billion of asset sales completed during the year.

Segment Performance

The following table summarizes FFO by segment:

The utilities segment generated FFO of $786 million, which on a comparable basis was up 7% year over year. The base business continued to perform well during the year, driven by inflation indexation across the portfolio and the contribution of approximately $500 million of capital commissioned into rate base over the last twelve months. Results also partially benefited from our acquisition of a South Korean industrial gas business that closed in December, and together with the strong base business performance, more than offset the loss of earnings from the sale of our Mexican regulated natural gas transmission pipelines.

FFO for the transport segment was $1,144 million, in line with the prior year after normalizing for asset sales and foreign exchange. During the year, we completed capital recycling initiatives totaling approximately $1.8 billion of proceeds. The loss of earnings from these sales was partially offset by higher revenues across our transportation networks, particularly in our rail and toll road segments, where volumes and rates grew by an average of 2% and 3% respectively.

The midstream segment generated FFO of $668 million, representing a 7% year over year increase. This growth reflects higher volumes and activity levels across our midstream assets, particularly at our Canadian natural gas gathering and processing operation and our recently acquired U.S. refined products pipeline system. This contribution more than offsets the loss of earnings from the sale of our U.S. gas pipeline.

Lastly, FFO for the data segment was $502 million, representing a step change increase of over 50% compared to the prior year period. The increase is attributable to several new investments completed over the last twelve months, the most recent being our U.S. bulk fiber network, which is now fully contributing to earnings. In addition, we achieved strong organic growth across our data storage business, which included the commissioning of 220 MW of capacity at our hyperscale data centers, 200 MW of new billings at our U.S. retail colocation data center operation and income generated by our global data center developers. Our platform now has development potential of approximately 3.6 GW, including 1.2 GW of operating capacity, a contracted project backlog of 1.1 GW, and a total land bank of 1.3 GW.

Update on Strategic Initiatives

Transaction activity accelerated in 2025, with $1.5 billion of new investments. We expect this momentum to carry into 2026 based on a robust pipeline of new investment opportunities that continues to be diversified across sectors and geographies.

During the quarter, we completed the inaugural project under the framework agreement with Bloom Energy, installing 55 MW of behind the meter power for a data center site in the U.S. We have since secured additional projects under the framework for several hyperscaler customers, bringing the total to approximately 230 MW of power generation. These additional projects have contract terms of at least 15 years in length. BIP’s total equity investment associated with these projects to date is expected to be approximately $50 million, and fully deployed by mid-2027.

Also during the quarter, we closed the acquisition of a South Korean industrial gas business that is the leading supplier of industrial gases to investment grade semiconductor manufacturers in the country. The total equity purchase price is $500 million (BIP’s share – approximately $125 million).

On January 1, we closed the acquisition of a leading railcar leasing platform in partnership with GATX, a best-in-class railcar lessor. The business is highly cash-generative, providing stable cash flows that are supported by a diversified, and largely investment-grade, customer base. The total equity consideration is approximately $1.2 billion (BIP’s share – approximately $300 million).  

Asset sales also accelerated in 2025. We achieved a record $3.1 billion in proceeds raised and we believe that the elevated pace of capital recycling will continue into the year ahead. We have two transactions already secured that crystallize attractive returns, giving us conviction in our ability to realize $3 billion of asset sale proceeds during 2026.

First, we agreed to sell the largest of four concessions within our Brazilian electricity transmission operation that spans over 1,200 kilometers. We expect proceeds of approximately $150 million net to BIP, generating an attractive IRR of 45% and an 8.5x multiple of capital, with closing anticipated in Q1 2026. Following this sale, we will have completed divestments of six of the nine concessions, with the remaining concessions expected to be sold this year.

Second, we partnered on a portfolio of stabilized and under-construction data centers in North America. Proceeds are expected to be used to support the build out of our powered land bank. An initial tranche of assets is expected to close this quarter, with the remaining under-construction projects expected to close on a programmatic basis upon completion over the next two years under a pre-agreed pricing framework.

Distribution and Dividend Increase

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.455 per unit, payable on March 31, 2026 to unitholders of record as at the close of business on February 27, 2026. 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 9 and Series 11 have been declared, which will also be payable on March 31, 2026 to holders on February 27, 2026. The Series 13 and Series 14 regular quarterly dividends have also been declared and will be payable on March 16, 2026 to holders on February 27, 2026. In conjunction with the Partnership’s distribution declaration, the Board of Directors of BIPC has declared an equivalent quarterly dividend of $0.455 per share, payable on March 31, 2026 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on February 27, 2026.

3. Average number of limited partnership units outstanding on a time weighted average basis for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025 was 460.1 million (2024: 461.6 million).
4. 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.

2. Other (income) expenses corresponds to amounts that are not related to the revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary for business operations. Other income/expenses excluded from FFO primarily includes gains on acquisitions and dispositions of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, gains or losses relating to foreign currency translation reclassified from accumulated comprehensive income to other expense, acquisition costs, gains/losses on remeasurement of borrowings, amortization of deferred financing costs, fair value remeasurement gains/losses, accretion expenses on deferred consideration or asset retirement obligations, impairment losses, and gains or losses on debt extinguishment.
3. Amounts attributable to non-controlling interests are calculated based on the economic ownership interests held by non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries. By adjusting FFO attributable to non-controlling interests, our partnership is able to remove the portion of FFO earned at non-wholly owned subsidiaries that are not attributable to our partnership.

The Statements of Funds from Operations per unit above are prepared on a basis that is consistent with the Partnership’s Supplemental Information and differs from net income per limited partnership unit as presented in Brookfield Infrastructure’s Consolidated Statements of Operating Results on page 7 of this release, which is prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management uses funds from operations per unit (FFO per unit) as a key measure to evaluate operating performance. Readers are encouraged to consider both measures in assessing Brookfield Infrastructure’s results.

Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation Reports Solid 2025 Year-End Results
& Announces Dividend Increase

The Board of Directors of Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (“BIPC” or our “company”) (NYSE, TSX: BIPC) today has declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.455 per class A exchangeable subordinate voting share of BIPC (a “Share”), payable on March 31, 2026 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on February 27, 2026. This dividend represents a 6% increase compared to the prior year. This dividend is identical in amount per Share and has identical record and payment dates to the quarterly distribution announced today by BIP 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.UN). 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 annual letter to unitholders, supplemental information and its other continuous disclosure filings. BIP’s annual 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.com.

Results

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

BIPC reported net income of $700 million compared to $72 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 60% higher than the prior year. Current period results benefited from gains on capital recycling initiatives at our global intermodal logistics operation, inflation-indexation across our businesses and capital commissioned into rate base at our U.K. regulated distribution business. These benefits were partially offset by higher financing costs on our variable rate non-recourse borrowings in Brazil and an increase in dividends paid on our exchangeable shares that are classified as interest expense, resulting from the 6% increase in our quarterly dividend compared to the prior year.
