BROOKFIELD INFRASTRUCTURE REPORTS STRONG 2013 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

November 6, 2013 – Brookfield Infrastructure (NYSE: BIP; TSX: BIP.UN) today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

	Three months ended Sept. 30				Nine months ended Sept. 30
US$ millions (except per unit amounts)	2013		2012		2013		2012

FFO1	$	167	$	113	$	507	$	332
– per unit2		0.80		0.58		2.47		1.76
Net income		33		68		137		56
– per unit3		0.12		0.33		0.55		0.23

Brookfield Infrastructure posted strong results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 with funds from operations (“FFO”) totalling $167 million ($0.80 per unit) compared to FFO of $113 million ($0.58 per unit) in the third quarter of 2012. This 48% increase (38% on a per unit basis) in FFO was primarily driven by organic growth in most of its businesses, in addition to incremental earnings from capital deployed in order to grow its transport and utilities businesses. For the quarter, Brookfield Infrastructure generated an AFFO yield4 of 12%, and currently has a payout ratio5 of 59% that is conservative versus its long-term target range of 60%-70%.

Brookfield Infrastructure reported net income of $33 million ($0.12 per unit) for the period ended September 30, 2013, compared to net income of $68 million ($0.33 per unit) in the prior quarter. The benefit of a deferred tax recovery at our North American gas transmission business in the third quarter of 2012, higher depreciation and amortization expenses associated with our expanded asset base and deferred tax charges relating to the sale of its Pacific Northwest timberlands more than offset the growth in FFO.

“Our results this quarter were strong as virtually all of our operations performed better than the prior year,” said Sam Pollock, Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Infrastructure. “Our focus has shifted from capital recycling to capital deployment. We have advanced a number of initiatives, including increasing our investments in our toll roads and expanding our district energy business. We continue to evaluate a number of opportunities and are enthusiastic about our growth prospects going forward.”

Segment Performance

Brookfield Infrastructure’s utilities platform produced FFO of $97 million in the current quarter compared with $80 million in the third quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to the impact of the investments made in its UK regulated distribution business and its Chilean electricity transmission system at the end of last year. Excluding the contribution from these investments, the underlying performance of the utilities platform was solid, benefitting from inflation indexation and additions to the rate base of its existing operations.

The transport platform generated FFO of $82 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $40 million in the prior year period. The significant increase in FFO was driven by the commissioning of the Australian railroad’s expansion program, the final portion of which was commissioned in March 2013 and a higher contribution from the toll road business, where significant investments have been made over the past 12 months.

Brookfield Infrastructure’s energy platform earned FFO of $14 million in the current quarter which was consistent with $14 million in the third quarter of 2012. Contributions from its recently acquired district energy system in Toronto were offset by lower results at its natural gas transmission system which continues to be impacted by weak market fundamentals in the North American natural gas market.

The following table presents net income and FFO by segment:

Growth Initiatives

During the quarter, Brookfield Infrastructure initiated and completed a number of growth initiatives:

Invested a further approximately $500 million into its Brazilian toll road platform, increasing its ownership to approximately 31%. The business has performed well since the initial acquisition in December 2012, and has recently invested over R$500 million of growth capital to widen its roads, which is expected to facilitate higher traffic going forward.

·	Commissioned the second segment of the Texas transmission system. We expect to have the project fully commissioned into the rate base by the end of the year.

Achieved approximately 70% of anticipated savings following the integration of Inexus into its UK regulated distribution business. The Partnership is continuing to implement the business plan to achieve the balance of synergies. It is also focused on extending its multi-utility capabilities into offerings such as fibre-to-home connections, with several sales completed in the quarter, positioning the business well for future growth.

Advancing several growth opportunities at its district energy business in Toronto. During the quarter it completed the connection of a commercial office property in downtown Toronto to its system and made substantial progress with development plans relating to two additional buildings that it expects to have connected by the end of next year.

·	Acquired district energy systems in Houston and New Orleans. Brookfield Infrastructure is progressing the necessary consents and anticipates closing the transaction in the fourth quarter.
