Brookfield Infrastructure Reports Strong Second Quarter 2026 Results This news release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of the prospectus supplement dated November 19, 2025 to the short form base shelf prospectus of Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation and Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. dated January 29, 2025

BROOKFIELD, NEWS, July 30, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“Brookfield Infrastructure delivered strong results in the first half of the year, generating 10% FFO per unit growth while making significant progress on our asset sale and deployment initiatives,” said Sam Pollock, Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Infrastructure. “The strength of our operating performance and self-funding model positions us well to convert a growing pipeline of high-quality investment opportunities into per-unit cash flow growth.”

Overview

Brookfield Infrastructure generated funds from operations (FFO) per unit of $0.89, representing a 10% increase compared to the prior year and achieving our growth target. Results were supported by strong underlying performance across the portfolio, led by significant contributions from our data and midstream segments, where FFO increased 36% and 17%, respectively, compared to last year. Our utilities and transport segments also generated solid growth, reflecting strong broad-based performance across each business segment. This performance was achieved while continuing to execute our successful asset sale program, which moderated reported growth, particularly in the transport and midstream segments.

Brookfield Infrastructure reported net income of $44 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to net income of $69 million in the prior year. Current quarter results benefited from strong operational performance, mark-to-market gains on commodity contracts in our midstream segment and income associated with our asset sale program. This result was partially offset by higher depreciation and borrowing costs associated with our growth initiatives.

FFO for the second quarter was $702 million, representing 10% growth compared to the prior year on both a quarterly and year-to-date basis. The increase reflects strong organic growth within our 6-9% target range, supported by inflation-linked rate increases in our utilities segment, volume strength and higher utilization across our transport and midstream segments and the commissioning of over $1.5 billion of new capital projects from our backlog, particularly within our data segment. Results also benefited from the strong cash contribution from new investments, which are generating returns meaningfully above the yield on assets sold through our capital recycling program.

Strategic Initiatives

We had a successful first half of the year with our asset rotation strategy having secured or deployed over $800 million into new investments. In the past quarter, we have increased our equity commitment to the Bloom Energy framework to support an additional capex project and advanced the acquisition of Clarus, New Zealand’s leading gas infrastructure utility, with closing expected in the coming weeks.

Momentum in AI infrastructure is accelerating, with our AI factory strategy gaining traction globally and expanding our pipeline of investment opportunities. In the U.S., Brookfield was selected by the Department of Energy to develop an AI data center campus in Kentucky, designed to support over 1.2 GW of compute capacity over several years. We have formed a consortium with NextEra Energy and local utility partners to advance the project through a bring-your-own-power model. In South Korea, Brookfield, NAVER and NVIDIA announced plans to develop 200 MW of sovereign compute capacity. Under the proposed arrangement, Brookfield would act as NAVER’s exclusive capital partner to finance the deployment of NVIDIA GPUs at the campus, supporting one of South Korea’s largest planned sovereign compute developments.

We also expanded our framework with Bloom Energy five-fold, from $5 billion to $25 billion of total capex, creating a significant pipeline of future deployment opportunities for behind-the-meter power solutions for leading hyperscale and investment-grade customers. Together, these initiatives demonstrate the breadth of our AI infrastructure opportunity set and our ability to originate large-scale projects on a bilateral basis by combining our digital infrastructure and power expertise with flexible capital at scale to support leading energy and technology partners globally. As these opportunities progress, we will only commit material capital once appropriate commercial arrangements are secured and our risk-adjusted return objectives are met.

Our ability to pursue this growing opportunity set is supported by our successful asset sale program. We have generated nearly $1.2 billion of proceeds year to date, including approximately $200 million since last quarter, reinforcing our ability to self-fund growth while recycling capital at attractive valuations. With several sale processes well underway, we remain confident in achieving our capital recycling objective for 2026.

Public markets have been an increasingly effective exit channel to maximize value in our capital recycling program. So far during 2026, we have generated meaningful proceeds from public market transactions, reflecting both the quality of the businesses we have built and the depth of investor demand for scaled, high-quality infrastructure platforms. IPOs and follow-on public market monetizations provide us with an attractive path to crystallize value, broaden the buyer universe and retain flexibility to participate in future upside. They also give us optionality alongside private sale alternatives, supporting value maximization across multiple potential exit paths.

The most significant example was the IPO of our U.S. colocation data center operation on the New York Stock Exchange. Since our initial investment in 2018, we have transformed the business into a scaled platform comprising 64 sites across major U.S. markets and serving more than 1,700 customers. A key value driver in this transformation was the acquisition of over 40 sites from Cyxtera through its bankruptcy process, which scaled the platform, optimized the portfolio and accelerated growth. Since then, we have enhanced the company’s financial profile through lease-up of vacant capacity, under-roof densification projects, leased-site buyouts, cost optimization and selective site M&A. These initiatives have increased EBITDA by over 4x under our ownership and expanded capacity from 115 MW to approximately 390 MW.

The IPO represents the next step in our value creation plan. The transaction generated gross proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion at an attractive valuation, which were used primarily for a one-time deleveraging of the business’s balance sheet to better align the business’s capital structure with public market expectations. Brookfield retains a 64% ownership interest in the business and will continue to participate in future value creation, including the potential to grow the platform to approximately 1 GW of capacity through further equipment optimization and under-roof expansion.

We also advanced monetizations across two listed businesses in India. At our Indian telecom tower platform, we sold a 7% interest through the capital markets. At our Indian gas transmission operation, we completed several additional sell-downs to public market investors following our inaugural issuance last year, exiting a further 14% of the business. Combined, these transactions generated nearly $100 million of proceeds for BIP, with additional sales expected over the coming quarters.

Adding to our asset sale progress, we executed a second transaction under our established framework for monetizing de-risked and contracted container portfolios at our global intermodal logistics operation. On July 1, we completed a further programmatic sale of a majority interest in a portfolio of contracted containers, generating approximately $60 million of proceeds at BIP’s share. Including prior sales, we have now sold a 67% interest in a portfolio of containers representing over 25% of the business’s total fleet.

Finally, at our North American railcar leasing platform, we generated approximately $100 million of sale proceeds, or $20 million at BIP’s share. These proceeds were primarily generated through our structured investment framework, which provides for the transfer of ownership to our partner, GATX, over time.

Segment Performance

The following table presents FFO by segment:

The utilities segment generated FFO of $196 million, up 5% over the prior year. The increase was driven by inflation indexation, the contribution from over $500 million of capital commissioned into rate base over the last 12 months and the acquisition of our South Korean industrial gas business completed last year. This growth was partially offset by foregone earnings from asset sales, including the largest of four concessions within our Brazilian electricity transmission operation, which closed during the first quarter, and our Mexican regulated natural gas transmission pipeline business, which contributed to results in the comparable period.

FFO for the transport segment was $311 million, representing a 7% increase over the prior year after normalizing for capital recycling activity. The increase was primarily driven by broad-based operating performance, with volumes across our rail, port and toll road operations each increasing 3–7% year over year. In addition, results benefited from the contribution from our leading railcar leasing platform formed in partnership with GATX, which closed on January 1. These contributions were partially offset by foregone earnings from the sale of a 49% interest in our Australian export terminal, the sale of our Australian container terminal business, and a partial sale of our U.K. port operation, all of which closed in the prior year.

Our midstream segment generated FFO of $183 million, up 17% compared to the same period last year. The increase reflects strong organic growth across the portfolio, particularly at our Canadian diversified midstream business, which benefited from strong asset utilization and elevated commodity pricing. Results also benefited from the contribution of our recently acquired U.S. refined products pipeline system, partially offset by foregone earnings from the sale of our U.S. gas pipeline last year.

The data segment generated FFO of $154 million, representing a step-change increase of 36% compared to the prior year. The increase was driven by the contribution from our U.S. bulk fiber network acquired last September, as well as strong organic growth across the segment including income generated by our data center developers and the initial contribution from our partnership with Intel to construct semiconductor foundries in Arizona.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Capital markets remained constructive for high-quality issuers during the second quarter, despite ongoing volatility and uncertainty around the path of interest rates. Against this backdrop, we continued to benefit from the strength of our business and our conservative financing structure. Our asset-level balance sheets remain well insulated, with over 95% of our non-recourse term debt, excluding Brazil, at fixed rates. Recent prefunding activity has also reduced near-term maturities to less than 2% of our non-recourse debt over the next 12 months.

We recently executed several opportunistic asset-level financings to extend maturities and improve financial flexibility. Notable transactions include:

On our corporate balance sheet we have over $2.6 billion of liquidity. This positions us well to execute on our investment pipeline and fund our backlog of organic growth opportunities while maintaining financial discipline. Our maturity profile remains well laddered, with no corporate debt maturities until 2027, and both credit rating agencies recently reaffirmed our BBB+ credit rating during the quarter, reflecting the strength of our balance sheet and overall credit profile.

BIP and BIPC Structure

We recently announced our intention to simplify Brookfield Infrastructure's corporate structure by combining BIP and BIPC into a single publicly traded corporation.

We expect the simplification to be tax-deferred for Canadian and U.S. investors and benefit all securityholders by improving trading liquidity, increasing demand from index funds and ETFs, simplifying investor analysis, broadening access to investors who prefer a traditional corporate structure and enhancing governance. For BIP unitholders, the simplification will eliminate onerous partnership tax reporting forms, while also providing preferential dividend tax rates for many Canadian and U.S. taxable investors.

A special meeting for securityholders to vote on the simplification will be held on October 14, 2026, and subject to approvals and closing conditions, the simplification transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Investor Day

We look forward to hosting our Investor Day on September 29, 2026 in Toronto where members of Brookfield Infrastructure's senior management team will provide an update on our strategic priorities and growth outlook.

Distribution and Dividend Declaration

The Board of Directors of BIP declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.455 per unit, payable on September 29, 2026 to unitholders of record as at the close of business on August 31, 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 September 29, 2026 to holders on August 31, 2026. The Series 13 and Series 14 regular quarterly dividends have also been declared and will be payable on September 15, 2026 to holders on August 31, 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, also payable on September 29, 2026 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on August 31, 2026.

Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation Reports Solid Second Quarter 2026 Results

The Board of Directors of Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (“BIPC” or our “company”) (NYSE, TSX: BIPC) today declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.455 per class A exchangeable subordinate voting share of BIPC (a “Share”), payable on September 29, 2026 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on August 31, 2026. This dividend is identical in amount per Share and has identical record and payment dates to the quarterly distribution announced today by Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (“BIP” or the “Partnership”) (NYSE: BIP; TSX: BIP.UN) on its units.

The Shares of BIPC are structured with the intention of being economically equivalent to the non-voting limited partnership units of BIP. 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 supplemental information and its other continuous disclosure filings. BIP’s supplemental information is 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.ca.

Results

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

BIPC reported net income of $61 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $309 million in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the reduced impact of the revaluation on our own Shares that are classified as liabilities under IFRS. Current period results benefited from inflation-indexation across our businesses and capital commissioned into rate base at our U.K. regulated distribution business, which was partly offset by higher financing costs and an increase in dividends paid on our exchangeable shares that are classified as interest expense, resulting from a 6% increase in our quarterly dividend compared to the prior year.
