PARTNERSHIP CAPITAL | 12 Months Ended

Equity [abstract] |
PARTNERSHIP CAPITAL | PARTNERSHIP CAPITAL As at December 31, 2023, our partnership’s capital structure was comprised of three classes of partnership units: limited partnership units, preferred units and general partnership units. Limited partnership units entitle the holder to their proportionate share of distributions. Preferred units entitle the holder to cumulative preferential cash distributions in accordance with their terms. General partnership units entitle the holder to the right to govern the financial and operating policies of our partnership. The Holding LP’s capital structure is composed of four classes of partnership units: special general partner units, Holding LP Class A preferred units, managing general partner units and redeemable partnership units held by Brookfield. On June 10, 2022, Brookfield Infrastructure completed a three-for-two split of our units, BIPC exchangeable shares, Exchange LP Units, and BIPC exchangeable LP units, by way of a subdivision whereby unitholders/shareholders received an additional one-half of a unit/share for each unit/share held. The Managing General Partner Units, Special General Partner Units and Redeemable Partnership Units of the Holding LP were concurrently split. Brookfield Infrastructure’s preferred units were not affected by the split. All historical unit and share counts, as well as per unit/share disclosures have been adjusted to effect for the change in units as a result of the splits. In its capacity as the holder of the Special General Partner Units of the Holding LP, the special general partner is entitled to incentive distribution rights which are based on the amount by which quarterly distributions on the Holding LP’s units (other than Holding LP Class A Preferred Units) exceed specified target levels. To the extent distributions on the Holding LP’s units (other than Holding LP Class A Preferred Units) exceed $0.1218 per quarter, the incentive distribution rights entitle the special general partner to 15% of incremental distributions above this threshold. To the extent that distributions on the Holding LP’s units (other than Holding LP Class A Preferred Units) exceed $0.1320 per unit, the incentive distribution rights entitle the special general partner to 25% of incremental distributions above this threshold. During the year, the Holding LP paid incentive distributions of $266 million (2022: $240 million, 2021: $206 million). Prior to the split on June 10, 2022, the above thresholds of $0.1218 and $0.1320 were $0.1827 and $0.1980, respectively. The Holding LP has issued 190.3 million Redeemable Partnership Units to Brookfield, which may, at the request of the holder, require the Holding LP to redeem the Redeemable Partnership Units for cash in an amount equal to the market value of our units. This right is subject to our partnership’s right of first refusal which entitles it, at its sole discretion, to elect to acquire any Redeemable Partnership Units so presented to the Holding LP in exchange for one of our partnership’s units (subject to certain customary adjustments). Both the units issued by our partnership and the Redeemable Partnership Units issued by the Holding LP have the same economic attributes in all respects, except for the redemption right described above. The Redeemable Partnership Units participate in earnings and distributions on a per Redeemable Partnership Unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of the units of our partnership. Our partnership reflects the Redeemable Partnership Units issued to Brookfield by the Holding LP as non-controlling interest—Redeemable Partnership Units held by Brookfield. In September 2023, Brookfield Investments Corporation, a subsidiary of Brookfield Corporation, exercised its redemption right in respect of 3,287,267 Redeemable Partnership Units. Our partnership exercised its right of first refusal in respect of all such Redeemable Partnership Units and issued 3,287,267 units to Brookfield Investments Corporation in full satisfaction of such redemption request. Such exchanged units were subsequently transferred to Brookfield Reinsurance. Brookfield Corporation and Brookfield Reinsurance have agreed that all decisions to be made by Brookfield Reinsurance with respect to the voting of the units held by Brookfield Reinsurance will be made jointly by mutual agreement of the applicable Brookfield Reinsurance subsidiary and Brookfield Corporation.

In November 2021, Brookfield Infrastructure issued 14.2 million units in public offerings in the U.S. and Canada. In total, $556 million of gross proceeds were raised through the issuance and $23 million in equity issuance costs were incurred. Concurrently, Brookfield Infrastructure issued approximately 10.7 million Redeemable Partnership Units at the public offering price, net of commissions, to Brookfield for additional proceeds of $400 million. As a result of the issuances during 2021, inclusive of equity raised as part of the IPL acquisition, equity was reallocated between limited partners, the general partner, non-controlling interests - Redeemable Partnership Units held by Brookfield, non-controlling interests - Exchange LP units, non-controlling interests - BIPC exchangeable LP units, and non-controlling interests - BIPC exchangeable shares to reflect the difference between the ratio in which the unit/shareholders participated in the issuance and their original economic interest in the partnership. The resulting impacts were recognized as ownership changes within the Consolidated Statements of Partnership Capital. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were also ratably allocated. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Brookfield Infrastructure repurchased less than 1 million units for $25 million (2022: nil, 2021: nil) and incurred less than $1 million in commission costs (2022: $nil, 2021: $nil). Our partnership has implemented a distribution reinvestment plan (the “Plan”) that allows eligible holders of our units to purchase additional units by reinvesting their cash distributions. Under the Plan, units are acquired at a price per unit calculated by reference to the volume weighted average of the trading price for our units on the New York Stock Exchange for the five trading days immediately preceding the relevant distribution date. During the year ended December 31, 2023, our partnership issued 0.4 million units for proceeds of $13 million (2022: 0.3 million units for proceeds of $13 million, 2021: 0.4 million units for proceeds of $12 million). The weighted average number of Special General Partner Units outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 2.4 million (2022: 2.4 million, 2021: 2.4 million). The weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 459.4 million (2022: 458.1 million, 2021: 445.1 million). Net income per limited partnership unit was $0.14 for the year ended December 31, 2023 (2022: $0.14, 2021: $1.16). Net income per limited partnership unit is calculated as the total net income attributable to limited partnership units, less preferred partnership distributions, divided by the average number of limited partnership units outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2023. On February 1, 2024, the partnership declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.405 per unit, payable on March 29, 2024 to unitholders of record as at the close of business on February 29, 2024. This distribution represents a 6% increase compared to the prior year. The regular quarterly dividends on the partnership preferred units have also been declared.

In September 2023, Brookfield converted approximately 3 million of its RPUs held with a carrying value of approximately $100 million into an equivalent amount of LP units.

The weighted average number of Redeemable Partnership Units outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 192.7 million (2022: 193.6 million, 2021: 184.2 million).

Given the exchangeable feature, the BIPC exchangeable shares are presented as a component of non-controlling interests. Refer to Note 1, Organization and Description of the Business, for further details. During the year ended December 31, 2023, BIPC exchangeable shareholders exchanged approximately 0.2 million BIPC exchangeable shares (2022: less than 0.1 million) for less than $3 million of our units (2022: less than $1 million).

In total, $293 million net proceeds were raised.
