Record Quarterly FFO and Per-Unit Growth
Generated funds from operations (FFO) of $709 million, or $0.90 per unit, representing a 10% year-over-year increase versus prior year.
Data Segment Step Change
Data segment FFO of $149 million, up 46% year-over-year, driven by the U.S. bulk fiber network acquisition and organic growth including commissioning of over 200 megawatts of operating data centers into earnings over the last year.
Midstream Outperformance
Midstream FFO of $190 million, up 12% year-over-year, reflecting attractive commodity pricing, strong asset utilization and robust customer activity.
Utilities Resilience and Rate Base Growth
Utilities FFO of $201 million, up 5% year-over-year, supported by inflation indexation, contribution from a recently acquired South Korean industrial gas business and over $500 million of capital commissioned into rate base.
Strong Liquidity and Balance Sheet Actions
Corporate liquidity of $2.5 billion at quarter-end; refinanced approximately $1.5 billion of non-recourse debt on a net-to-bid basis with no incremental borrowing costs.
Progress on Capital Recycling
Secured approximately $1 billion of capital recycling proceeds to date, including tranche close on a North American data center portfolio partnership, sale of a Brazilian transmission concession, secondary sale of 12% in North American gas storage and agreement to sell the largest independent bulk liquid storage provider in Scandinavia.
Strategic Partnerships and Growth Platforms
Launched an equipment leasing framework with a global investment-grade OEM (BIP's share expected upwards of ~$375 million / ~25% of gross $1–2 billion equity) and advanced a $5 billion behind-the-meter power partnership (additional $430 million CapEx secured; total capital committed under the framework ~ $1.6 billion; BIP equity committed ~ $60 million).
AI and Data Infrastructure Demand
Management highlighted very strong, broadened demand for AI-related data center capacity and compute; near-term scarcity of data center inventory for 2026 and constrained availability in 2027, supporting leasing activity and organic growth opportunities.
Acquisitions and Pipeline
Closed acquisition of a North American railcar leasing platform (effective Jan 1); Clarus (New Zealand gas infrastructure) expected to close in Q2 for approximately $70 million equity share; Midstream backlog and near-term FIDs expected from a meaningful pipeline (~$8 billion at opco level).
