Funds from Operations (FFO) $646 million or $0.82 per unit, up 12% year-over-year, driven by strong inflation indexation, higher revenues across critical infrastructure networks, commissioning of over $1 billion from capital backlog, and contributions from tuck-in acquisitions.
Utilities Operations FFO $192 million, slightly ahead of the prior year; would have increased 13% year-over-year when adjusting for currency impact, reflecting inflationary benefits and $450 million of capital commissioned into rate base.
Transport Segment FFO $288 million, down from $302 million in the prior-year period; normalized results were in line with the prior year despite volume contraction, offset by record utilization levels in global intermodal logistics and higher volumes and rates in the road portfolio.
Midstream Segment FFO $169 million, up 8% year-over-year when adjusting for capital recycling and FX, reflecting strong volumes and higher pricing across Midstream assets, particularly in Canadian diversified midstream operations.
Data Segment FFO $102 million, a 50% increase compared to last year, attributed to strong organic growth in data center platforms and contributions from a tuck-in acquisition of a tower portfolio in India.
Capital Recycling Proceeds $1.4 billion secured to start the year, including $1.2 billion from exiting the Australian container terminal operation, generating approximately $500 million net to BIP.
Acquisition of Colonial Enterprises $9 billion acquisition expected to close in the second half of the year, with an equity investment of approximately $500 million, purchased at a transaction multiple of approximately 9 times EBITDA.
