Market conditions to start the year were highly supportive of transaction activity. We secured
This month we signed an agreement to exit our Australian container terminal operation, which will result in proceeds of
Also during the quarter, we completed the sale of a minority stake in a portfolio of fully contracted containers within our global intermodal logistics operation to a financial investor for
We remain on track to close the remaining three asset sales later this year, which includes:
- The final
25% interest in a U.S. gas pipeline generating net proceeds of$400 million to BIP. When combined with the previous financing, total proceeds from the sale were over$900 million and crystallized an attractive18% IRR and a 3x multiple of capital on our investment since 2015. This transaction is expected to close in May. - A non-core data center site is on track to close in the second half of 2025, generating approximately
$400 million in net proceeds (over$60 million net to BIP). - The initial
30% interest in a 244-megawatt portfolio of operating sites at our European hyperscale data center platform. We expect to generate over$90 million of net to BIP proceeds, with closing in Q3 2025. We are also progressing the sale of up to a60% stake in the portfolio, which we hope to sign in the coming months and would add up to$190 million of proceeds at our share.
We are encouraged by the early results of our capital recycling program. Following the additional data center stake sale, we will have secured approximately
At the same time, our new investments pipeline remains robust and we expect it will continue to grow, particularly if market uncertainty persists, unlocking greater investment opportunities for well-capitalized and value-based investors like ourselves. Most recently we secured the
- Strong utilization with a competitive market position: Colonial represents a rare opportunity to invest in a high-quality energy infrastructure asset that forms part of the backbone of the U.S. economy. The pipeline system has maintained consistently high utilization of almost
90% for the past 25 years and serves a diverse customer base of over 200 primarily investment-grade customers along the U.S. East Coast. - Acquire for value, generally well below replacement cost: We acquired Colonial at a transaction multiple of approximately 9x EBITDA. Simultaneously, we exited our U.S. natural gas pipeline at several turns higher.
- Highly cash generative to provide a quick return of capital: Colonial has a mid-teen going-in cash yield that is expected to increase over time, resulting in a seven-year payback period for our invested capital.
- Minimal value paid for growth or opportunity to transition the asset: The value we paid is largely for the in-place assets, with conservative assumptions around terminal value and utilization profile over time. The cash flow profile for this business is highly stable and resilient, supported by a transparent regulatory framework and direct inflation-linkage.
We believe we were successful in acquiring the business due to the large scale of the transaction, sellers’ confidence in our ability to close, and proven track record of operating critical energy infrastructure assets safely and reliably. BIP’s equity investment is expected to be

- Average number of limited partnership units outstanding on a time weighted average basis for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 was 461.9 million (2024: 461.4 million).
- We define FFO as net income excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, mark-to-market gains (losses) and other income (expenses) that are not related to the revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary for business operations. FFO includes balances attributable to the Partnership generated by investments in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method and excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests based on the economic interests held by non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries. We believe that FFO, when viewed in conjunction with our IFRS results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our underlying operations. FFO is a measure of operating performance that is not calculated in accordance with, and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. FFO is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is available on page 9 of this release. Readers are encouraged to consider both measures in assessing our company’s results.
