3 Important Notice (cont’d) IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING NON - IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES To measure performance we focus on net income as well as funds from operations (“FFO”), FFO per unit, adjusted funds from ope rat ions (“AFFO”), adjusted EBITDA, and invested capital, which we refer to throughout this presentation. We define FFO as net income excluding the impac t o f depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, breakage and transaction costs, and non - cash valuation gains or losses. We define AFFO as FFO less capita l expenditures required to maintain the current performance of our operations (maintenance capital expenditures). We define adjusted EBITDA as net incom e e xcluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, interest expense, current and deferred income taxes, breakage and transaction costs and non - cash valuation gains or losses. We define invested capital as partnership capital removing the following items: non - controlling interest in operating subsidiaries, retained earnings or deficit, accumulated other comprehensive income and ownership changes. We measure return on invested capital as AFFO, less estimated r etu rns of capital on operations that are not perpetual in life, divided by the weighted average invested capital for the period. These measures ar e n ot calculated in accordance with, and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by, International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and therefore ar e u nlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and have limitations as analytical tools. See the Reconciliation of Non - IFRS Financi al Measures in the Appendix to this presentation, as well as reconciliations in BIP and BIPC’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20 - F and BIP and BIPC’s most r ecent interim report for more information on certain of these measures, including reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.
