Although we believe that Brookfield Infrastructure's anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information are based upon reasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Brookfield Infrastructure to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or implied by forward-looking statements include: general economic and financial conditions in the countries in which we do business which may impact market demand for our products and services, foreign currency risk, the level of government regulation affecting our businesses, the outcome and timing of various regulatory, legal and contractual issues, global credit and financial markets, the competitive business environment in the industries in which we operate, the competitive market for acquisitions and other growth opportunities, availability of equity and debt financing, the completion of various large capital projects by customers of our businesses which themselves rely on access to capital and continued favourable commodity prices, weakening of demand for products and services in the markets for the commodities that underpin demand for our infrastructure, our ability to complete transactions in the competitive infrastructure space (including the transactions referred to in this presentation, some of which remain subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent, and the inability to reach final agreement with counterparties to transactions referred to in this presentation as being currently pursued, given that there can be no assurance that any such transaction will be agreed to or completed) and to integrate acquisitions into existing operations, our ability to complete large capital expansion projects on time and within budget, our ability to achieve the milestones necessary to deliver targeted returns to our unitholders, including targeted distribution growth, ability to negotiate favourable take-or-pay contractual terms, traffic volumes on our toll roads, our ability to obtain relevant regulatory approvals and satisfy conditions precedent required to complete acquisitions, acts of God, weather events, or similar events outside of our control, and other risks and factors detailed from time to time in documents filed by Brookfield Infrastructure with the securities regulators in Canada and the United States, including Brookfield Infrastructure's most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F under the heading "Risk Factors".
We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Brookfield Infrastructure, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Except as required by law, Brookfield Infrastructure undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether written or oral, that may be as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING USE OF NON-IFRS, ACCOUNTING MEASURES
Although our financial results are determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the basis of presentation throughout much of this report differs from IFRS in that it is organized by business segment and utilizes, funds from operations (FFO), adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), adjusted EBITDA and invested capital as important measures. This is reflective of how we manage the business and, in our opinion, enables the reader to better understand our affairs. We provide a reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS measure on pages 34-44 of this Supplemental Information. Readers are encouraged to consider both measures in assessing Brookfield Infrastructure's results.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND RISKS
Brookfield Infrastructure's financial results are impacted by various factors, including the performance of each of our operations and various external factors influencing the specific segments and geographic locations in which we operate; macro-economic factors such as economic growth, changes in currency, inflation and interest rates; regulatory requirements and initiatives; and litigation and claims that arise in the normal course of business. These and other factors are described in Brookfield Infrastructure's most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F which is available on our
website at www.brookfieldinfrastructure.com and at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml and www.sedar.com. | 1 |

Q3 2020 Highlights (cont'd)
OPERATIONS
- Deployed ~$230 million in growth capital expenditures to increase rate base in our utilities segment and add capacity at transport, energy and data operations
- Connection activity at our U.K. regulated distribution business averaged ~90% of planned levels as homebuilder activity continued to recover
- The business also secured a major capital project of 9,500 new connections across our five utility offerings, and its largest district energy project to-date
- Traffic volumes at our toll roads continue to recover from economic shutdown related impacts; traffic was 5% below prior year, a significant improvement over the 25% year-over-year decline in the second quarter
- Traffic volumes in October have fully recovered and are operating at pre-shutdown levels
- Our U.K. port operation received a favorable ruling in connection with an arbitration process with a large tenant, which increased annual rent by almost four times
- Received a positive draft regulatory decision at our Australian regulated terminal which proposes a transition to a more "light- handed" regime that would allow us to directly negotiate access charges with our users
- Our North American district energy operation closed several new growth initiatives during the quarter: (i) an exclusive agreement with Syracuse University, (ii) a large convention center in Denver, and (iii) five new capacity-based customer connections
- These long-term contracts should provide incremental annual EBITDA of $25 million (BIP's share - $9 million) once fully commissioned
GROWTH INITIATIVES
- Closed the acquisition of a newly constructed portfolio of 135,000 telecom towers in India for $3.4 billion (BIP's share - ~$600 million)
- We expect to add 40,000 towers over the next two years as they are constructed
- Acquired an interest in world class U.S. LNG export facility for ~$1.5 billion (BIP's share - ~$425 million)
FINANCING AND LIQUIDITY
- Liquidity at the corporate level currently stands at $2.4 billion
- Progressing several sale processes that we expect to generate ~$1.5 billion of additional liquidity
- Completed two corporate level financing initiatives which generated ~$220 million of net proceeds
- Raised C$500 million of medium term-notes to opportunistically refinance a C$450 million series of notes maturing in 2022
- Completed the inaugural issuance of $200 million of green preferred units

Our Business
OUR MISSION
- To own and operate a globally diversified portfolio of high quality infrastructure assets that will generate sustainable and growing distributions over the long-term for our unitholders
PERFORMANCE TARGETS AND KEY MEASURES
- Target a 12% to 15% total annual return on invested capital measured over the long term
- Expect to generate returns from in-place cash flows plus growth through investments in upgrades and expansions of our asset base
- Growth in FFO per unit is one of the key performance metrics that we use to assess our ability to sustainably increase distributions in future periods
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
- For each operating segment, this Supplemental Information outlines Brookfield Infrastructure's proportionate share of results in order to demonstrate the impact of key value drivers of each operating segment on the partnership's overall performance
4
Distribution Policy
Our payout ratio is determined based on the amount of cash flow generated in our businesses that is available for distribution
- Objective is to pay a distribution that is sustainable on a long-term basis while retaining sufficient liquidity within operations to fund recurring growth capital expenditures and general corporate requirements
- We fund all of our growth initiatives through a combination of issuances of common equity, preferred equity and corporate debt, proceeds of asset sales and retained cash flows
- Available funding and assessment of corporate liquidity is undertaken prior to committing to all new investments and capital projects
- Distributions are determined on the basis of the proportionate cash flow generating capacity of our businesses. We monitor proportionate cash flow from operations rather than focusing exclusively on its consolidated equivalent, since we exercise co- control or significant influence over decision-making with respect to distributions from our unconsolidated subsidiaries:
- Each of our businesses is required to distribute all of its available cash (generally defined as cash on hand less any amounts reserved for committed growth projects)
- Our governance arrangements over these businesses effectively provide us with a veto over any decision not to distribute all available cash flow. That is, any decision not to distribute available cash flow in these businesses requires our consent
5
Distribution Profile
BIP has a conservative payout ratio underpinned by stable, highly regulated or contracted cash flows generated from operations
- We believe that a payout of 60-70% of FFO is appropriate
- Targeting 5% to 9% annual distribution growth, in light of expected per unit FFO growth
- Distribution payout is reviewed with the Board of Directors in the first quarter of each year
- The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.485 per unit, payable on December 31, 2020 to unitholders of record as at the close of business on November 30, 2020. This quarterly distribution represents a 7% increase compared to the prior year
- Distributions have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 11% over the last 10 years
- Below is a summary of our distribution history since the spin-off

Distribution Profile (cont'd)
Over the last 10 years, the Partnership has been able to achieve its target payout ratio of 60-70% of funds from operations while increasing its distribution by an average of 11%

Organic Growth within our Business
Organic growth demonstrates our ability to deliver sustainable cash flow growth
- Our business is well-positioned to deliver per unit FFO organic growth of 6-9%
- The three principle drivers of recurring annual cash flow growth embedded in our businesses are:
Inflationary | Volume Upside | Cash Flows | FFO/Unit | |
Price Increases | + | from GDP | Reinvested | Growth |
Growth | + | = | ||
3-4% | 1-2% | 2-3% | 6-9% |
- In order to showcase the sustainability of our cash flow growth year-over-year, we calculate organic growth prior to fees and corporate expenses and remove the following impacts:
- Contributions from acquisitions and dispositions completed in the last 12 months
- Impacts of foreign exchange since the previous period
- Movements in results at our gas storage operations as cash flows can be impacted by volatility caused by movements in spreads relating to natural gas prices
8
Our Operations
- Own and operate a diversified portfolio of high-quality,long-life utilities, transport, energy and data infrastructure assets
- Generate stable cash flows with ~95% of adjusted EBITDA supported by regulated or long-term contracts

- Return on rate base is adjusted EBITDA divided by time weighted average rate base
- Return on rate base excludes impact of connections revenue at our U.K. regulated distribution business, a return of capital component from earnings generated at our Brazilian transmission businesses and foreign exchange
- FFO of $139 million in Q3'20 compared to $145 million in the prior year
- FFO benefited from inflation-indexation and capital commissioned into rate base over the last 12 months, as well as the contribution from a North American regulated transmission business acquired in October 2019
- These positive impacts were more than offset by a delay in the recognition of connections revenue at our U.K. regulated distribution business, loss of earnings associated with two asset sales and the impact of a decline in the Brazilian real, which reduced U.S. dollar results by $14 million

FINANCIAL RESULTS
- Adjusted EBITDA and FFO were $185 million and $139 million, respectively, versus $190 million and $145 million, respectively, in the prior year
- Regulated Transmission: Adjusted EBITDA and FFO benefited from inflation-indexation and the contribution from the acquisition of a North American regulated gas transmission business in October 2019
- These positive factors were more than offset by the loss of earnings from the sale of our North American transmission operation and the impact of a decline in the Brazilian real
- Regulated Distribution: Adjusted EBITDA and FFO benefited from inflation-indexation and capital commissioned into rate base in the last 12 months
- These positive factors were more than offset by lower connections activity at our U.K. regulated distribution business and the loss of earnings associated with the sale of our Colombian electricity distribution operation
- Regulated Terminal: Adjusted EBITDA and FFO benefited from inflation-indexation

CAPITAL BACKLOG
Projects that we have been awarded and/or filed with regulators with anticipated commissioning into rate base in the next two to three years
- Ended the period with ~$855 million of total capital to be commissioned into rate base; 17% decrease compared to year-end
- New connection mandates awarded during the period and the impact of foreign exchange were more than offset by capital projects commissioned into rate base
- Our U.K. regulated distribution business and Brazilian electricity transmission business are the largest contributors to our total capital expected to be commissioned into rate base; comprised of ~$580 million and ~$215 million of total projects, respectively
RATE BASE
- Rate base decreased compared to year-end as the impact of new connections at our U.K. regulated distribution business and inflation- indexation at our Brazilian regulated gas transmission business were more than offset by the impact of foreign exchange and asset sales

FINANCIAL RESULTS
- Adjusted EBITDA and FFO were $171 million and $135 million, respectively, versus $174 million and $128 million, respectively, in the prior year
- Rail: Adjusted EBITDA and FFO increased due to higher volumes moved on our rail networks in Brazil and Australia, in addition to the contribution from our North American rail operation acquired in December 2019
- These positive factors were partially offset by the impact of a lower Brazilian real
- Toll roads: Adjusted EBITDA and FFO decreased as a result of a partial sale of our Chilean toll road operation, the planned hand-back of a state concession at our Brazilian toll road operation, government restrictions on traffic flows and the impact of a lower Brazilian real
- Ports: Adjusted EBITDA and FFO benefited from strong shipping volumes at our North American port operation and a favorable arbitration with a large tenant at our U.K. operations that increased annual rent by almost four times

Foreign Currency Hedging Strategy
To the extent that it is economic to do so, we hedge a portion of our equity investments and/or cash flows exposed to foreign currencies. The following principles form the basis of our foreign currency hedging strategy:
- We leverage any natural hedges that may exist within our operations
- We utilize local currency debt financing to the extent possible
- We may utilize derivative contracts to the extent that natural hedges are insufficient
The following table presents our hedged position in foreign currencies as at September 30, 2020:

1. The above tables provide each segment's assets in the format that management organizes its segments to make operating decisions and assess performance. Each segment is presented on a proportionate basis, taking into account Brookfield Infrastructure's ownership in operations using consolidation and the equity method whereby the Partnership either controls or exercises significant influence over the investment respectively. The above table reconciles Brookfield Infrastructure's proportionate assets to total assets presented on the Partnership's consolidated statements of financial position by removing net liabilities contained within investments in associates, reflecting the assets attributable to non-controlling interests, and adjusting for working capital assets which are netted against working capital liabilities

Use of Non-IFRS Measures
- Funds from operations (FFO), adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings, invested capital and their per share equivalents, where applicable, are non-IFRSmeasures which do not have any standard meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies
- FFO, AFFO, adjusted earnings and invested capital are reconciled to Net Income and Partnership capital, respectively, the closest measures determined under IFRS on pages 35, 36 and 42, respectively
- FFO is defined as net income excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, breakage and transaction costs, and non-cash valuation gains or losses
- Brookfield Infrastructure uses FFO to assess its operating results
- Adjusted EBITDA is defined as FFO excluding the impact of interest expense, and other income or expenses
- Brookfield Infrastructure uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance
- Adjusted Earnings is defined as net income attributable to our partnership, excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization expense from revaluing property, plant and equipment and the effects of purchase price accounting, mark-to-market on hedging items and disposition gains or losses
- AFFO is a measure of our long-term sustainable performance and is calculated as FFO less capital expenditures required to maintain the current performance of our operations (maintenance capital expenditures)
- Invested capital tracks the initial investment that we make in a business plus all cash flow that we re-invest in the business
