Important Notice (cont’d) IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES To measure performance we focus on net income as well as funds from operations (“FFO”), FFO per unit, adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), adjusted EBITDA and invested capital, 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 net income excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, interest expense, current and deferred income taxes, breakage and transaction costs and non-cash valuation gains or losses. We define invested capital as partnership capital removing the following items: non-controlling interest – in operating subsidiaries, retained earnings or deficit, accumulated other comprehensive income and ownership changes. We measure return on invested capital as AFFO divided by the weighted average invested capital for the period. 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 in the Appendix to this presentation, as well as reconciliations in 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 S&P/TSX Composite Index (the “S&P/TSX Composite Index”), 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”) (collectively, “Comparables”). The Comparables are considered to be an appropriate basis for comparison with the Partnership because these are the key 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. Investors will not be entitled to a remedy under applicable Canadian securities legislation in the event that the Comparables contain a misrepresentation.
