• Generated 10% FFO growth, meeting long-term targets through organic inflation-linked rate increases and the commissioning of new capital projects.

• Data segment performance surged 36%, driven by the acquisition of a U.S. bulk fiber network and initial contributions from the Intel semiconductor foundry partnership.

• Midstream results benefited from strong asset utilization and elevated commodity pricing in the Canadian diversified midstream business, alongside new U.S. pipeline contributions.

• Transport segment growth was supported by a 'domino effect' from global AI infrastructure build-outs, driving increased demand for machinery and components through rail and port networks.

• Strategic capital recycling shifted toward public markets, utilizing IPOs and follow-on offerings to broaden the buyer universe and crystallize value at attractive valuations.

• The U.S. colocation data center IPO successfully demonstrated a value creation strategy that expanded capacity from 115 megawatts to 390 megawatts during ownership.

• Management emphasized a 'bring-your-own-power' model for large-scale AI campuses to secure social licenses and avoid adverse impacts on local utility ratepayers.

Outlook and Strategic Initiatives

• Anticipate completing a corporate simplification in Q4 2026 to convert BIP and BIPC into a single corporation, aimed at improving liquidity and index inclusion.

• Targeting $300 million to $500 million in annual equity deployment toward AI infrastructure, focusing on AI factories, compute, and behind-the-meter power solutions.

• AI factory capital deployment is expected to be back-end loaded over a three- to five-year timeframe due to the nature of large-scale development projects.

• The Bloom Energy framework expansion from $5 billion to $25 billion creates a significant pipeline for behind-the-meter power solutions for hyperscale customers.

• Future investment commitments remain contingent on securing appropriate commercial arrangements and meeting specific risk-adjusted return objectives.

Structural Changes and Risk Factors

• Executed a $1.2 billion IPO for the U.S. colocation data center business, retaining a 64% interest to participate in future growth toward 1 gigawatt of capacity.

• Advanced monetization of Indian telecom and gas assets, generating nearly $100 million in net proceeds through public market sell-downs.

• Management acknowledged growing 'NIMBYism' and local resistance to data centers, particularly in the U.S. and Europe, regarding water use and noise concerns.

• Asset sale proceeds of $1.2 billion year-to-date support the self-funding growth model and provide flexibility for upcoming M&A opportunities.
