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. Along with net income and other measures, FFO is a key measure of our financial performance that we use to assess the operating results and performance of our operations on a segmented basis. It is not calculated in accordance with, and does not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. For further details regarding our use of FFO as well as a reconciliation of net income to this measure, please see the “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section in Item 5 “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects–Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

|
AFFO is defined as FFO less capital expenditures required to maintain the current performance of our operations (maintenance capital expenditures). AFFO is a measure of operating performance that is not calculated in accordance with, and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by, IFRS. AFFO is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. AFFO has limitations as an analytical tool. For further details regarding our use of AFFO, as well as a reconciliation of net income to this measure, please see the “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section in Item 5 “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects–Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined 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. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with, and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by, IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. For further details regarding our use of Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of net income to this measure, please see the “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section in Item 5 “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects–Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.
|
(7)
|
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. Adjusted Earnings is not calculated in accordance with, and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by, IFRS. Adjusted Earnings is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted Earnings has limitations as an analytical tool.

there is no accepted industry standard for what constitutes an infrastructure asset. For example, Brookfield may consider certain assets that have both real-estate related characteristics and infrastructure related characteristics to be real estate and not infrastructure;
|
•
|
it is an integral part of Brookfield’s (and our) strategy to pursue the acquisition of infrastructure assets through consortium arrangements with institutional investors, strategic partners and/or financial sponsors and to form partnerships (including private funds, joint ventures and similar arrangements) to pursue such acquisitions on a specialized or global basis. Although Brookfield has agreed with us that it will not enter any such arrangements that are suitable for us without giving us an opportunity to participate in them, there is no minimum level of participation to which we will be entitled;
|
•
|
the same professionals within Brookfield’s organization that are involved in sourcing and executing acquisitions that are suitable for us are responsible for sourcing and executing opportunities for the vehicles, consortiums and partnerships referred to above, as well as having other responsibilities within Brookfield’s broader asset management business. Limits on the availability of such individuals will likewise result in a limitation on the availability of acquisition opportunities for us;
|
•
|
Brookfield will only recommend acquisition opportunities that it believes are suitable and appropriate for us. Our focus is on assets where we believe that our operations-oriented approach can be deployed to create value. Accordingly, opportunities where Brookfield cannot play an active role in influencing the underlying assets may not be consistent with our acquisition strategy and, therefore, may not be suitable for us, even though they may be attractive from a purely financial perspective. Legal, regulatory, tax and other commercial considerations will likewise be an important consideration in determining whether an opportunity is suitable and/or appropriate for us and will limit our ability to participate in certain acquisitions; and
|
•
|
in addition to structural limitations, the question of whether a particular acquisition is suitable and/or appropriate is highly subjective and is dependent on a number of portfolio construction and management factors including our liquidity position at the relevant time, the expected risk return profile of the opportunity, its fit with the balance of our investments and related operations, other opportunities that we may be pursuing or otherwise considering at the relevant time, our interest in preserving capital in order to secure other opportunities and/or to meet other obligations, and other factors. If Brookfield determines that an opportunity is not suitable or appropriate for us, it may still pursue such opportunity on its own behalf, or on behalf of a Brookfield-sponsored vehicle, partnership or consortium.

Our Chilean electricity transmission operation was acquired by Brookfield on June 30, 2006 by a consortium of buyers led by Brookfield. As part of the stock purchase agreement between the parties, the buyers agreed to pay a purchase price adjustment of $160 million that was determined on April 4, 2008 following the final resolution of the 2006 transmission rate proceeding.

On November 20, 2009, we invested $941 million to acquire an interest in Prime, and direct interests in two assets from Prime (collectively, the “BBI Transaction”). In total, our investment in Prime was part of a comprehensive recapitalization in which Prime raised over $1.6 billion from our partnership, Brookfield and other investors to repay debt. The first direct investment was in a U.K. port operation, which is one of the largest in the U.K. The second investment was an economic interest in an Australian terminal operation, one of the largest coal export terminals in the world. Our interests in North American gas transmission operations, Australian regulated distribution operations, U.K. regulated distribution operations, European energy distribution operations, Australian energy distribution operations, Australian rail operations, European port operations and an additional interest in the Australian terminal operations were held through Prime.

Our U.K. port operation, PD Ports, owns and operates Teesport, one of the deepest general purpose quays in the U.K. supporting the movement of international imports and exports through northern U.K. Teesport has taken a proactive step to protect rivers and seas from plastic by becoming the first port operation to sign up to the British Plastic Federation’s Operation Clean Sweep. This initiative aims to ensure that plastic pellets, flakes, and powders that pass-through manufacturing facilities in the U.K. are handled with care. Through this initiative, PD Ports has committed to adhere to best practices and implement systems to prevent plastic pellet loss, ensuring the protection and preservation of the aquatic environment.

|
AFFO is defined as FFO less maintenance capital expenditures. Refer to the “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section of this MD&A for a reconciliation from net income to AFFO.
|
(6)
|
Return on invested capital is calculated as AFFO, adjusted for an estimate of the portion of earnings that represent a return of capital on concession-based businesses, divided by Invested Capital. The return of capital estimate for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $109 million (2018: $87 million, 2017: $68 million). Refer to the “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section of this MD&A for reconciliation from partnership capital to Invested Capital.
|
(7)
|
Adjusted EBITDA is defined 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. Refer to the “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section of this MD&A for a reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITDA.
|
(8)
|
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. Refer to the “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section of this MD&A for a reconciliation from net income to Adjusted Earnings.

The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses;
|
•
|
Other companies may calculate proportionate results differently than we do.
|
•
|
Proportionate debt amounts do not represent our consolidated obligation for debt underlying a consolidated investment. If an individual project does not generate sufficient cash flows to service the entire amount of its debt payments, our company may determine, in our discretion, to pay the shortfall through an equity injection to avoid defaulting on the obligation. Such a shortfall may not be apparent from or may not equal the difference between aggregate proportionate Adjusted EBITDA for all of our portfolio investments and aggregate proportionate debt for all of our portfolio investments; and
|
•
|
Other companies may calculate proportionate debt differently than we do.
|
•
|
FFO does not include depreciation and amortization expense; because we own capital assets with finite lives, depreciation and amortization expense recognizes the fact that we must maintain or replace our asset base in order to preserve our revenue generating capability;
|
•
|
FFO does not include deferred income taxes, which may become payable if we own our assets for a long period of time; and
|
•
|
FFO does not include certain non-recurring charges such as breakage and transaction costs or non-cash valuation gains, losses and impairment charges.

These adjustments have the combined effect of excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, breakage and transaction costs, and non-cash valuation gains or losses recorded within our investments in associates and joint ventures in accordance with our definition of FFO.
|
(3)
|
By adjusting FFO attributable to non-controlling interests, our partnership is able to remove the portion of FFO earned at non-wholly owned subsidiaries that is not attributable to our partnership. We believe our proportionate financial information, when read in conjunction with our partnership’s reported results under IFRS, provides the most meaningful assessment of how our operations are performing. Please refer to the discussion of limitations of the proportional results as an analytical tool within this section.

The above table provides each segment’s results 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 accounted for using the consolidation and equity methods under IFRS. The above table reconciles Brookfield Infrastructure’s proportionate results to our consolidated statements of operating results on a line by line basis by aggregating the components comprising the earnings from our partnership’s investments in associates and reflecting the portion of each line item attributable to non-controlling interests.
|
(2)
|
Includes net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests—Redeemable Partnership Units held by Brookfield, non-controlling interests—Exchange LP Units, general partners and limited partners.

Represents non-recourse debt to Brookfield Infrastructure as the holders have recourse only to the underlying operations.
|
(2)
|
As of December 31, 2019, approximately 44% has been issued as floating rate debt. Brookfield Infrastructure and its subsidiaries have entered into interest rate swaps whereby the floating rate debt has been converted to fixed rate debt, effectively decreasing floating rate debt maturities to approximately 32% of our total borrowings. Excluding working capital and capital expenditure facilities, floating rate debt maturities are approximately 21% of our total borrowings, inclusive of the impact of interest rate swaps.
|

|
Includes draws made under Brookfield's private funds credit facility used to bridge acquisitions over year-end. Borrowings made under the facility are secured by limited partner commitments and are non-recourse to our partnership.

We leverage any natural hedges that may exist within our operations

We utilize local currency debt financing to the extent possible

By removing cash from operating activities attributable to non-controlling interests, our partnership is able to present AFFO attributable to our partnership. We believe our proportionate financial information, when read in conjunction with our partnership’s reported results under IFRS, provides the most meaningful assessment of how our operations are performing. Please refer to the discussion of the limitations of proportional results as an analytical tool within the“Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section on page 139.
|
(2)
|
The most-closely related IFRS measure to AFFO is net income. However, occasionally we believe the alternative reconciliation can be useful and have therefore provided this reconciliation of consolidated cash flow from operations to AFFO. Please see the “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” section on page 139 for a reconciliation of AFFO to net income.

Our 2019 and 2018 payout ratios were impacted by the timing related to deployment of capital raised in our July 2019 equity offering, the 2018 sale of our Chilean electricity transmission business and the 2018 financing at our Brazilian regulated gas transmission business.

growth capital expenditures: capital outlays underpinned by incremental revenues that will enhance our partnership’s returns. These projects are eligible for inclusion in the rate base of our utilities segment, or they are meant to add capacity to further expand our existing infrastructure networks in our transport, energy and data infrastructure operations; or

Data infrastructure - Data is the fastest growing commodity in the world, with global usage expected to grow exponentially for the foreseeable future. This growth is driving the need for massive investment in the networks that transmit and store data. We have already begun making investments in data highways, namely fiber-to-the-home networks, telecom towers, and data centers, and are pursuing additional opportunities in the sector.
|
•
|
Midstream energy - Midstream energy assets are strategically located, difficult to replicate and have a strong contracted cash flow profile. Their scarcity value is supported by the fact that they are often the only connections between supply and demand centers. In addition, with the emergence of new resources and growing demand, there is a large funding gap of infrastructure build-out, making these assets primed to benefit from future growth.
|
•
|
Key value creation lever - most infrastructure assets reach a maturity point, where the pace of capital appreciation or same-store growth levels out. Capital appreciation is maximized in periods where there are operational improvements, increased capacity utilization and capital expansion. Absent these factors, we would generally consider these assets to have mature income streams. At this point we will look to sell them at attractive returns and redeploy the proceeds into new income streams that will earn our 12-15% target returns. In 2019, we secured or completed the sale of six mature assets and up financings for total proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion and an FFO exit yield of 9%. We redeployed the capital into several new investments that we expect to generate an average FFO yield of 12%.
|
•
|
Alternative source of capital - we sometimes issue equity to fund growth, however capital markets are not always available and thus capital recycling becomes an important alternative source of funding. We believe that capital recycling allows us to be more strategic and focus on selling bond-like businesses at a very low discount rate, while potentially increasing returns to unitholders by avoiding dilution on our high-growth businesses.
|
•
|
Institutes capital discipline - to us, it is imperative that businesses are sold to maximize proceeds, not when cash is needed as selling under duress almost never optimizes value. While our approach may result in periods where we have substantial liquidity that results in a short-term drag on results, as long-term investors, we believe it is the best way to create value over the long run.

|
Allocation of Investment Opportunities. In recommending acquisition opportunities, Brookfield has significant discretion to determine the suitability and/or appropriateness of opportunities for us and to allocate such opportunities among us, Brookfield, Brookfield Accounts, and/or third parties as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion. Brookfield and Brookfield Accounts have (and future Brookfield Accounts may in the future have) investment mandates that overlap with our investment mandate, including Brookfield Accounts that invest in infrastructure and related assets, and in which we generally expect to be a significant investor. In addition, Brookfield has provided, and will in the future provide (without notice to our unitholders or preferred unitholders), priority rights with respect to certain investment opportunities, including all or a select geographic, industry or other subset of opportunities, to certain Brookfield Accounts (but not to us) or to other persons pursuant to contractual or other arrangements. In particular, Brookfield Accounts with real estate, timberlands, renewable power or technology investment mandates generally have been (and will in the future be) given priority with respect to investment opportunities that are suitable and appropriate for them. As a result, in certain cases, Brookfield Accounts will compete with, or have priority over, our partnership in respect of investment opportunities, and opportunities that would otherwise be suitable for us will not be made available to us, we will receive a smaller allocation of such opportunities than would otherwise have been the case, or we will receive an allocation of such opportunities on different terms than Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts (which may be less favourable than otherwise would have been the case).
|
•
|
Allocation of Broken-Deal Expenses. We will incur expenses with respect to the consideration and pursuit of transactions that are not ultimately consummated, referred to as broken-deal expenses, including through our investments in Brookfield Accounts. Examples of broken-deal expenses include (i) research costs, (ii) fees and expenses of legal, financial, accounting, consulting or other advisers (including Brookfield) in connection with conducting due diligence or otherwise pursuing a particular non-consummated transaction, (iii) fees and expenses in connection with arranging financing for a particular non-consummated transaction, (iv) travel costs, (v) deposits or down payments that are forfeited in connection with, or amounts paid as a penalty for, a particular non-consummated transaction and (vi) other expenses incurred in connection with activities related to a particular non-consummated transaction. Broken-deal expenses generally will be allocated among our partnership, Brookfield and Brookfield Accounts in the manner that Brookfield determines to be fair and equitable, which may be pro rata or on a different basis.
|
•
|
Co-Investment Opportunities and Expenses. Because of the scale of typical infrastructure acquisitions, we offer portions of certain acquisition opportunities for co-investment. In addition, because our strategy includes completing acquisitions through Brookfield Accounts, we will likely make co-investments with Brookfield and Brookfield Accounts. Decisions regarding whether and to which parties to offer co-investment opportunities are made by Brookfield and are based on a number of factors, including portfolio construction, strategic or other considerations, taking into account the specific facts and circumstances relating to each potential co-investment opportunity. As a result, from time to time, we expect to offer (or receive from Brookfield Accounts) larger or smaller portions of co-investment opportunities than would otherwise have been the case or no portion of certain opportunities.
|
•
|
Other Activities of Our Investment Personnel. The same professionals within Brookfield’s organization who are involved in sourcing and executing acquisitions that are suitable for us are responsible for sourcing and executing opportunities for Brookfield Accounts as well as having other responsibilities within Brookfield’s broader asset management business. Limits on the availability of such individuals will likewise result in a limitation on the availability of acquisition opportunities for us, and such individuals’ broader responsibilities will potentially conflict with their responsibilities to us. These potential conflicts may be exacerbated in situations where Brookfield or its employees are entitled to greater fees, incentive compensation or other remuneration in connection with their activities for other Brookfield Accounts relative to their activities for our partnership or where there are differences in investments made for us relative to investments made for other Brookfield Accounts (including the Investing Affiliate (as defined below).
|
•
|
Investments by Brookfield Personnel. The partners, members, shareholders, directors, officers and employees of Brookfield (“Brookfield Personnel”) are permitted to buy and sell securities or other investments for their own or their family members’ accounts (including through Brookfield Accounts), subject to the limitations described below. Positions may be taken by such Brookfield Personnel that are the same, different from, or made at different times than positions taken directly or indirectly for us. To reduce the possibility of (a) potential conflicts between our investment activities and those of Brookfield Personnel, and (b) us being materially adversely affected by Brookfield Personnel’s personal trading activities, Brookfield has established policies and procedures relating to personal securities trading. To this end, Brookfield Personnel that participate in managing our investment activities are generally restricted from engaging in personal trading activities (unless such activities are conducted through accounts over which the personnel have no influence or control), and other personnel generally must pre-clear proposed personal trades. In addition, Brookfield’s policies include prohibitions on insider trading, front running, trading in securities that are on Brookfield’s restricted trading list, trading in securities that are subject to a black-out period and other restrictions.
|
•
|
Investments by the Investing Affiliate. Certain Brookfield executives own a substantial majority of an entity that makes investments for its own account (the “Investing Affiliate”). The Investing Affiliate’s activities are managed separately from our (or any Brookfield Account’s) activities. There is no formal informational barrier between the Investing Affiliate and the rest of Brookfield. Brookfield has adopted protocols designed to ensure that the Investing Affiliate’s activities do not materially adversely affect our (and Brookfield Accounts’) activities and to ensure that potential conflicts are resolved in a manner pursuant to which our (and Brookfield Accounts’) interests are, to the extent feasible, prioritized relative to the Investing Affiliate’s.
|
•
|
Warehousing Investments. From time to time, Brookfield will “warehouse” certain investments on our behalf, i.e., Brookfield will make an investment on our behalf and transfer it to us at a later date at cost, plus a pre-agreed interest rate, after we have raised sufficient capital, including financing to support the acquisition. Similarly from time to time, we will warehouse one or more investments for a Brookfield Account in which we are invested (or expect to invest) and transfer the warehoused investments to the applicable Brookfield Account at cost, plus a pre-agreed interest rate, once the Brookfield Account has raised sufficient capital, including financing, to support the acquisition. In the event the applicable Brookfield Account does not obtain sufficient capital and/or financing to purchase the warehoused investment and we cannot find another buyer for the investment, we would be forced to retain the investment, the value of which may have increased or declined.
|
•
|
Transacting with Brookfield. When permitted by applicable law and subject to and in accordance with our conflicts policy, from time to time we buy investments from and/or sell investments to Brookfield and/or Brookfield Accounts. While such transactions generally require the approval of our General Partner’s independent directors and, in connection with transactions with a Brookfield Account, the advisory committee of the applicable Brookfield Account, there can be no assurance that such transactions will be effected or that such transactions will be effected in the manner that is most favourable to us as a party to any such transaction.
|
•
|
Terms of an Investment by Our Partnership May Benefit or Disadvantage Brookfield or a Brookfield Account. In making decisions with regard to certain potential investments by our partnership (or by a Brookfield Account in which we are invested), Brookfield faces certain conflicts of interest between the interests of our partnership (or the Brookfield Account), on the one hand, and the interests of Brookfield, the Investing Affiliate and/or Brookfield Account(s) that have already made related investments, on the other hand. Similarly, prospective investments by Brookfield or Brookfield Account(s) present conflicts of interest with respect to investments held by our partnership. Subject to applicable law and our conflicts policy, Brookfield from time to time causes our partnership to invest in securities, bank loans or other obligations of companies affiliated with or advised by Brookfield or in which Brookfield, the Investing Affiliate or a Brookfield Account has an equity, debt or other interest, or to engage in investment transactions that result in Brookfield, the Investing Affiliate or a Brookfield Account getting an economic benefit, being relieved of obligations or divested of investments. For example, from time to time we make debt or equity investments in entities which are expected to use the proceeds of such investment to repay loans from Brookfield or a Brookfield Account. Depending on the circumstance, Brookfield or such Brookfield Account would benefit if our partnership invested more money, thus providing sufficient funds to repay Brookfield or the Brookfield Account, or it would benefit if the loans remained outstanding and Brookfield or such Brookfield Account continued to receive payment under the existing loans, if the loans were on attractive terms (including an attractive interest rate) from the perspective of Brookfield or such Brookfield Account. Alternatively, from time to time Brookfield and/or Brookfield Account(s) are in the position of making an investment that could be used to repay loans from our partnership, which would present the opposite conflict. Similar conflicts arise in other situations as well. For example, in certain circumstances, we pursue take-private, asset purchase or other material transactions with an issuer in which Brookfield, the Investing Affiliate or a Brookfield Account is invested, which results in a benefit to Brookfield, the Investing Affiliate or the Brookfield Account. In situations where our activities enhance Brookfield’s, the Investing Affiliate’s or a Brookfield Account’s profitability, Brookfield could take its, the Investing Affiliate’s or the Brookfield Account’s interests into consideration in connection with actions it takes on our behalf.

|
Investments with Related Parties. In certain circumstances, we will participate in investments that involve Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts in equity or debt positions within a transaction. For example, from time to time Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts will: (a) enter into a joint transaction with us; (b) be borrowers of certain investments or lenders in respect of our partnership; or (c) invest in different levels of an issuer’s capital structure. As a result of the various conflicts and related issues described herein, we could sustain losses during periods in which Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts achieve profits generally or with respect to particular investments, or could achieve lower profits or higher losses than would have been the case had the conflicts described herein not existed.
|
•
|
Excess Funds Liquidity Arrangement with Related Parties. We have an arrangement in place with Brookfield pursuant to which we lend Brookfield excess funds from time to time and it lends us excess funds from time to time. This arrangement is intended to enhance the use of excess funds between us and Brookfield when the lender has excess funds and the borrower has a business need for the capital (including, without limitation, to fund operating / investment activities and/or to pay down higher cost capital), providing (i) to the lender, a higher rate of return on the funds than it otherwise would be able to achieve in the market and (ii) to the borrower, a lower cost of funds than it otherwise would be able to obtain in the market.
|
•
|
Pursuit of Investment Opportunities by Certain Non-Controlled Affiliates. Certain companies affiliated with Brookfield (a) are controlled, in whole or in part, by persons other than Brookfield, including, for example, joint ventures or similar arrangements with third parties where Brookfield does not have complete control; (b) are separated from Brookfield pursuant to an information barrier; or (c) do not coordinate or consult with Brookfield with respect to investment decisions (together, “Non-Controlled Affiliates”). Such Non-Controlled Affiliates are likely to have investment mandates that overlap with our investment mandate giving rise to potential conflicts. For example, from time to time such Non-Controlled Affiliates or investment vehicles managed by such Non-Controlled Affiliates will pursue investment opportunities which are suitable for us but which are not made available to us since such Non-Controlled Affiliates do not consult with and/or are not wholly controlled by Brookfield. Similarly, certain of Brookfield’s investment activities are managed independently of, and carried out without any reference to the management of our partnership. In certain instances, there are information barriers in place pursuant to which investment operations are managed independently of each other and information is not generally shared relating to such activities.
|
•
|
Arrangements with Brookfield. Our relationship with Brookfield involves a number of arrangements pursuant to which Brookfield provides various services, including access to financing arrangements and acquisition opportunities. Certain of these arrangements were effectively determined by Brookfield in the context of the spin-off, and could contain terms that are less favorable than those which otherwise might have been negotiated between unrelated parties. Circumstances may arise in which these arrangements will need to be amended or new arrangements will need to be entered into, and conflicts of interest between our partnership and Brookfield will arise in negotiating such new or amended arrangements. Furthermore, Brookfield is generally entitled to share in the returns generated by our operations, which creates an incentive for it to assume greater risks when making decisions than it otherwise would in the absence of such arrangements. In addition, our investment in Brookfield Accounts provides Brookfield with certain ancillary benefits, such as satisfying Brookfield’s commitment to invest in such accounts (which Brookfield would otherwise need to satisfy from different sources) and assisting Brookfield in marketing the Brookfield Accounts.
|
•
|
Brookfield Personnel Arrangements. In the ordinary course, Brookfield employees are hired or retained by, or seconded or otherwise allocated to (in whole or in part), our partnership and/or portfolio companies that we are directly or indirectly invested in for performance of operating services or roles that in the normal course are expected to be carried out by our (or the relevant portfolio company’s) personnel. In connection with any such arrangement, all or a portion of the compensation and overhead expenses relating to such employees (including base salaries, benefits and incentive compensation (which may include long term incentive awards of equity or options for equity in Brookfield), among other things) will directly or indirectly be borne by us or the applicable portfolio companies. The compensation and overhead expenses relating to such employees generally will be within the market compensation range for the roles filled in the relevant market based on one or more of the following (i) market compensation studies or guidance provided by third parties, (ii) recent market hires made by the relevant portfolio company for comparable positions, (iii) the employee’s peers at Brookfield and the portfolio company, and/or (iv) specific compensation reviews conducted by compensation consultants. For these purposes, given how certain compensation arrangements are structured and valued (particularly various forms of incentive compensation that vest over time and whose value upon payment is based on estimates) and how overhead expenses are generally allocated, in each case requiring certain judgments and assumptions, there can be no assurance that portfolio companies (and indirectly our partnership) will not bear higher costs than they would have had such expenses been valued, allocated or charged differently.
|
•
|
Brookfield Investments in Companies. Brookfield (or Brookfield Accounts) will from time to time make equity or other investments in companies or businesses that provide services to or otherwise contract with us, Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested or our direct or indirect portfolio companies. In particular, Brookfield has in the past entered into, and expects to continue to enter into, relationships with companies in technology and other sectors and industries in which Brookfield has broad expertise and knowledge, whereby Brookfield acquires an equity or other interest in such companies that may, in turn, transact with us, Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested or our direct or indirect portfolio companies. For example, Brookfield (through an investment program referred to as Brookfield Growth) invests in emerging technology companies that develop and offer technology products that are expected to be of relevance to us, Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested or our direct or indirect portfolio companies (as well as third-party companies). In connection with such relationships, Brookfield refers, introduces or otherwise facilitates transactions between such companies and us, Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested or our direct or indirect portfolio companies. In all cases, Brookfield seeks to ensure that the transactions are in the best interests of our company, the Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested and/or our direct or indirect portfolio companies, with terms to be determined in good faith as fair, reasonable and equitable under the circumstances. However, these transactions also result in benefits to Brookfield, including via increased profitability of the relevant company, as well as financial incentives and/or milestones which benefit Brookfield (including through increased equity allotments), which are likely in some cases to be significant. Such financial incentives that inure to or benefit Brookfield (or Brookfield Accounts) pose an incentive for Brookfield to cause us, Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested or our direct or indirect portfolio companies to enter into such transactions that may not have otherwise been entered into. Financial incentives derived from relationships with such companies will generally not be shared with us. Furthermore, such transactions are likely to contribute to the development of expertise, reputational benefits and/or the development of new products or services by Brookfield and/or the companies or businesses that Brookfield is invested in, which Brookfield will seek to capitalize on to generate additional benefits that are likely to inure solely to Brookfield (or Brookfield Accounts) and not to us. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the arrangements and/or benefits described in this paragraph will not require notice to, or the consent of, our unitholders or preferred unitholders. Brookfield may take its own interests into account in considering and making determinations regarding these matters.
|
•
|
Sharing of Services. In certain circumstances, in order to create efficiencies and optimize performance, one or more of our investments, portfolio companies or assets will determine to share the operational, legal, financial, back-office or other resources of another of our investments, portfolio companies or assets, or of an investment, portfolio company or asset of Brookfield or a Brookfield Account. In connection therewith, the costs and expenses related to such services will be allocated among the relevant entities on a basis that Brookfield determines in good faith is fair and equitable (but which will be inherently subjective, and there can be no assurance that we will not bear a disproportionate amount of any costs, including Brookfield’s internal costs).
|
•
|
Related Party Transactions. We (including our portfolio companies and portfolio companies of Brookfield Accounts that we are invested in) are and will be counterparties in agreements, transactions and other arrangements with other Brookfield Accounts (including their portfolio companies) for the provision of goods and services, purchase and sale of assets and other matters that would otherwise be transacted with independent third parties. Some of these agreements, transactions and other arrangements would not have been entered into but for the affiliation or relationship with Brookfield and, in certain cases, are expected to replace agreements, transactions and/or arrangements with third parties. These agreements, transactions and other arrangements will involve payment of fees and other amounts and/or other benefits to Brookfield Accounts and their portfolio companies (including, in certain cases, performance-based compensation), none of which will result in any offset to management and other fees payable by our partnership to Brookfield. Such agreements, transactions and other arrangements will generally be entered into without the consent or direct involvement of the General Partner’s independent directors or the unitholders.
|
•
|
Information Sharing. Because of the extensive scope of Brookfield’s activities, Brookfield often has or obtains information that can be utilized by Brookfield across multiple strategies. For example, information Brookfield has or acquires through its management of Brookfield Accounts and/or its own investing activities is used by Brookfield to identify or evaluate potential investments for us. Conversely, information Brookfield has or acquires in connection with our activities is used for the benefit of Brookfield and/or Brookfield Accounts (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Brookfield will have no duty (contractual, fiduciary or otherwise) to keep such information confidential from, or not to use such information in connection with the investment activities of, itself and/or Brookfield Accounts). Brookfield will trade, or may cause Brookfield Accounts to trade, on the basis of information it has or obtained through our investment and operations activities. In some cases, this trading will result in Brookfield and/or a Brookfield Account taking a position that is different from, and potentially adverse to, a position taken by our partnership, or result in Brookfield or a Brookfield Account benefiting from our investment activities. Brookfield has implemented policies and procedures to mitigate potential conflicts of interest and address certain regulatory requirements and contractual restrictions with respect to communication and information sharing. Such policies and procedures generally reduce synergies across Brookfield’s various activities, and negatively affect Brookfield’s or our ability to pursue attractive investment opportunities that would otherwise be available to Brookfield or us if such policies and procedures were not implemented. From time to time, such policies and procedures will result in our partnership, Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts having reduced investment opportunities or investment flexibility, or otherwise restrict us, Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts in their activities with respect to such information.
|
•
|
Material Non-Public Information; Trading Restrictions. From time to time, our ability to buy or sell certain securities will be restricted by applicable securities laws, regulatory requirements, information held by Brookfield, contractual obligations applicable to Brookfield, and potential reputational risks relating to our partnership, Brookfield and/or Brookfield Accounts (including Brookfield’s internal policies designed to comply with these and similar requirements). As a result, from time to time, Brookfield will not engage in transactions or other activities for, or enforce certain rights in favor of, our partnership due to Brookfield’s activities outside our partnership regulatory requirements, policies, and reputational risk assessments.
|
•
|
Client and Other Relationships. Brookfield pursues other business activities and provides certain services (including, in each case, through portfolio companies that it and Brookfield Accounts invest in) that compete directly with our business activities without providing us with an opportunity to participate, which results in the allocation of Brookfield’s resources, personnel and acquisition and business opportunities to others that compete with us. In addition, certain portfolio companies in which we, Brookfield and/or Brookfield Accounts are invested in provide investment banking and other advisory services to third parties with respect to assets in which we are invested or seeking to invest. The interests of such portfolio companies in such circumstances generally will conflict with (and be adverse to) our interests, and we generally will compete with such portfolio companies (and their third party clients) in pursuing certain investments. Brookfield generally implements policies and procedures (including, for example, information barriers) to mitigate potential conflicts of interest and address certain regulatory requirements relating to these potential circumstances.
|
•
|
Limited Liability of Brookfield. The liability of Brookfield and its directors is limited under our arrangements with them, and we have agreed to indemnify Brookfield and its directors against claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses which they may face in connection with those arrangements, which may lead them to assume greater risks when making decisions than they otherwise would if such decisions were being made solely for Brookfield’s own account, or may give rise to legal claims for indemnification that are adverse to the interests of our unitholders and preferred unitholders.
|
•
|
Valuation of Our Investments. Brookfield performs certain valuation services related to our securities and assets. Brookfield performs such services in accordance with its valuation policies. From time to time, Brookfield will value a similar or identical asset differently for our partnership than for itself or a Brookfield Account, including because our partnership, Brookfield and Brookfield Accounts are subject to different valuation guidelines pursuant to our and their respective governing agreements (e.g., in connection with differing applicable regulatory restrictions), different third-party vendors are hired to perform valuation functions for our partnership, Brookfield or the Brookfield Accounts, or otherwise. In addition, Brookfield faces a conflict with respect to valuations generally because of their effect on Brookfield’s fees and other compensation.
|
•
|
Brookfield Public Securities Group. Brookfield is an active participant, as agent and principal, in the global fixed income, currency, commodity, equities and other markets. Certain of Brookfield’s investment activities are managed independently of, and carried out without any reference to, the management of our partnership. For example, Brookfield invests, trades or makes a market in the equity, debt or other interests of certain of our portfolio companies without regard to the impact on us of such activities. In particular, Brookfield’s Public Securities Group (“PSG”), manages investment funds and accounts that invest in public debt and equity markets. There is currently an information barrier in place pursuant to which PSG manages its investment operations independently of other parts of Brookfield and does not generally share information relating to such activities. Consequently, neither we nor PSG consults the other about, or has awareness of, investment decisions made by the other, and neither is subject to any internal approvals over its investment decisions by any person who would have knowledge of the investment decisions of the other. As a result, PSG will not share investment opportunities that may otherwise be suitable for our partnership with us, and our partnership will have no rights with respect to such opportunities. In addition, in certain circumstances, funds and/or accounts managed by PSG will hold an interest in one of our investments and, as a result of different investment objectives and views, PSG is likely to manage such interests in a way that is different from us (including, for example, by investing in different portions of an issuer’s capital structure, short selling securities, voting securities in a different manner, and/or selling its interests at different times than us). As a result of the information sharing barrier, our investment team may not be aware of, and may not have the ability to manage, such conflicts. Brookfield has discretion at any time, and without notice to our unitholders or preferred unitholders, to remove or modify such information barrier. In the event that the information barrier is removed or modified, Brookfield would be subject to certain protocols, obligations and restrictions in managing our partnership, including, for example, conflicts-management protocols, aggregated regulatory reporting obligations and certain potential investment-related restrictions.
|
•
|
Oaktree. In 2019, Brookfield acquired approximately 61% of the business of Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Oaktree”). Oaktree is a global investment manager with significant assets under management, emphasizing an opportunistic, value-oriented and risk-controlled approach to investments in credit, private equity, real assets and listed equities. Brookfield and Oaktree operate their respective investment businesses largely independently pursuant to an information barrier, with each remaining under its current brand and led by its existing management and investment teams.
|
•
|
Service Providers. Our service providers or service providers of our portfolio companies (including deal sourcers, consultants, lenders, brokers, accountants, attorneys and outside directors) may be (or their affiliates may be) unitholders or preferred unitholders and/or sources of investment opportunities and counterparties therein, or may otherwise participate in transactions or other arrangements with us and/or Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts. Furthermore, employees of Brookfield or Brookfield portfolio companies have and may in the future have family members or relatives employed by service providers (particularly the large, global providers) to Brookfield, Brookfield Accounts, us, and portfolio companies that we are directly or indirectly invested in. These factors create incentives for Brookfield in deciding whether to select such a service provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Brookfield will only select a service provider to the extent Brookfield determines that doing so is appropriate for us given all surrounding facts and circumstances and is consistent with Brookfield’s responsibilities under applicable law, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Brookfield often will not seek out the lowest-cost option when engaging such service providers as other factors or considerations typically prevail over cost.
|
•
|
Advisors. Brookfield engages or retains strategic advisors, senior advisors, operating partners, executive advisors, consultants and/or other professionals who are not employees or affiliates of Brookfield (including former Brookfield employees as well as current and former executive officers of Brookfield portfolio companies) and who are expected, from time to time, to receive payments from, or allocations or performance-based compensation with respect to, our portfolio companies (as well as from us, Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested). In such circumstances, such payments from, or allocations or performance-based compensation with respect to, our direct and indirect portfolio companies and/or our partnership or Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested generally will be treated as expenses of our partnership or such Brookfield Accounts. These strategic advisors, senior advisors, operating partners, executive advisors, consultants and/or other professionals (which may include certain former Brookfield employees) in certain circumstances are offered the ability to co-invest alongside our partnership, including in those investments in which they are involved (and for which they may be entitled to receive performance-based compensation, which will reduce our returns), or otherwise participate in equity plans for management of a portfolio company. In certain cases, these persons are likely to have certain attributes of Brookfield “employees” (e.g., they have dedicated offices at Brookfield, participate in general meetings and events for Brookfield personnel, work on Brookfield matters as their primary or sole business activity, have Brookfield-related email addresses, and/or participate in certain benefit arrangements typically reserved for Brookfield employees) even though they are not considered Brookfield employees, affiliates or personnel. Where applicable, Brookfield allocates the costs of such personnel to the applicable portfolio companies, to us and/or to Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested. Payments or allocations to Brookfield’s strategic advisors, senior advisors, operating partners, executive advisors, consultants and other similar professionals can be expected to increase the overall costs and expenses borne indirectly by unitholders. There can be no assurance that any of the strategic advisors, senior advisors, operating partners, executive advisors, consultants and/or other professionals will continue to serve in such roles and/or continue their arrangements with Brookfield and/or any portfolio companies or Brookfield Accounts.
|
•
|
Diverse Interests. The various types of investors in and beneficiaries of our partnership, including Brookfield, have conflicting investment, tax and other interests with respect to their interests. When considering a potential investment for us, Brookfield will generally consider our investment objectives, not the investment objectives of any particular investor or beneficiary. Certain of Brookfield’s decisions, including with respect to tax or other reporting positions, will be more beneficial to one type of investor or beneficiary than another, or to Brookfield than to investors or beneficiaries unaffiliated with Brookfield. Brookfield reserves the right on behalf of itself and its affiliates to take actions adverse to us or other Brookfield Accounts in these circumstances, including withholding amounts to pay actual or potential tax liabilities.
|
•
|
Reputational Considerations. Given the nature of its broader platform, Brookfield has an interest in preserving its reputation, including with respect to certain of its affiliates’ statuses as publicly traded vehicles, and in certain circumstances, such reputational considerations may conflict with our interests. Our General Partner or Brookfield have made (and will likely make) decisions on our behalf for reputational reasons that may not be directly aligned with the interests of unitholders and preferred unitholders or consistent with the determination our General Partner or Brookfield otherwise would have made absent its interest in Brookfield’s broader reputation. For example, Brookfield has limited (and will in the future limit) transactions and activities on our behalf for reputational or other reasons, including where Brookfield is providing (or may provide) advice or services to an entity involved in such activity or transaction, where a Brookfield Account is or may be engaged in the same or a related activity or transaction to that being considered on our behalf, where a Brookfield Account has an interest in an entity involved in such activity or transaction, or where such activity or transaction on behalf of or in respect of our partnership could affect our General Partner, Brookfield, Brookfield Accounts or their activities.
|
•
|
Possible Future Activities. Brookfield expects to expand the range of services that it provides over time. Except as provided herein, Brookfield will not be restricted in the scope of its business or in the performance of any services (whether now offered or undertaken in the future) even if such activities could give rise to conflicts of interest, and whether or not such conflicts are described herein. Brookfield has, and will continue to develop, relationships with a significant number of companies, financial sponsors and their senior managers, including relationships with companies that may hold or may have held investments similar to those intended to be made by us. These companies may themselves represent appropriate investment opportunities for us or may compete with us for investment opportunities.

For the above noted subsidiaries, our partnership has entered into voting arrangements to provide our partnership with the ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee. Our partnership controls these investees given that our partnership is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Our partnership exercises judgment to determine the level of variability that will achieve control over an investee, particularly in circumstances where our partnership’s voting interest differs from its ownership interest in an investee. The following were considered to determine whether our partnership controls these investees: the degree of power (if any) held by other investors, the degree of exposure to variability of each investor, the determination of whether any general partner removal rights are substantive and the purpose and design of the investee.

The above table provides each segment’s results in the format that management organizes its reporting 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 accounted for using the consolidation and equity methods under IFRS. The above table reconciles Brookfield Infrastructure’s proportionate results to our partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Operating Results on a line by line basis by aggregating the components comprising the earnings from our partnership’s investments in associates and reflecting the portion of each line item attributable to non-controlling interests.

Each segment is presented on a proportionate basis, taking into account Brookfield Infrastructure’s ownership in operations using consolidation and the equity method whereby our 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 our partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position by removing net liabilities contained within investments in associates and joint ventures and reflecting the assets attributable to non-controlling interests, and adjusting for working capital assets which are netted against working capital liabilities.

Level 1
|
|
—
|
|
Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2
|
|
—
|
|
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life. Fair valued assets and liabilities that are included in this category are primarily certain derivative contracts and other financial assets carried at fair value in an inactive market.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3
|
|
—
|
|
Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to determining the estimate. Fair valued assets and liabilities that are included in this category are interest rate swap contracts, derivative contracts, certain equity securities carried at fair value which are not traded in an active market and the non-controlling interest’s share of net assets of limited life funds.

Outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items (excluding foreign exchange derivative contracts) are adjusted at period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates from the rate at which they are translated;
|
•
|
Foreign currency derivative contracts are measured as the change in fair value of the derivative as a result of a 10% change in the spot currency rate; and
|
•
|
The impact on net income results from performing a sensitivity of a 10% change in foreign exchange rates applied to the profit or loss contribution from foreign operations (after considering the impact of foreign exchange derivative contracts).
