Strong Financial Performance: Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP) reported Funds from Operations (FFO) of $599 million in Q3 2024, marking a 7% year-over-year increase, driven by new investments and tuck-in acquisitions. Utilities segment FFO grew 9% to $188 million, Transport segment surged 50% to $308 million, while the Data segment increased 29% to $85 million. Midstream segment FFO slightly declined from $163 million to $147 million due to higher interest costs.

Capital Backlog and Growth Outlook: The company has an $8 billion backlog of organic growth projects, with a 20% increase over the last twelve months. This backlog is expected to provide attractive project-level returns, bolstered by trends in artificial intelligence and decarbonization. The strong growth potential suggests ongoing revenue expansion in the medium to long term.

Capital Recycling Success: BIP achieved $600 million in capital recycling during the quarter, totaling approximately $2 billion for the year. Recent sales include a Mexican regulated natural gas transmission business expected to close in Q1 2025 for about $125 million. This trend is expected to continue, with forecasts of $5 to $6 billion in proceeds from asset sales in the next two years, helping to replenish liquidity.
