NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1—Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policy Updates

 

Description of the Business

 

Triton International Limited ("Triton" or the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, leases intermodal transportation equipment, primarily maritime containers, and provides maritime container management services through a worldwide network of service subsidiaries, third-party depots and other facilities. The majority of the Company's business is derived from leasing its containers to shipping line customers through a variety of long-term and short-term contractual lease arrangements. The Company also sells containers from its equipment leasing fleet as well as containers specifically acquired for resale from third parties. The Company's registered office is located in Bermuda.

 

Brookfield Infrastructure Transaction

 

On April 11, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia (“BIPC”), Thanos Holdings Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (“Parent”) and Thanos MergerSub Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and a subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Triton (the “Merger”), with Triton surviving the Merger as a direct subsidiary of Parent and an indirect subsidiary of BIPC.

 

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each common share of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (A) common shares owned by the Company or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, (B) common shares owned by BIPC, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their wholly owned subsidiaries and (C) any dissenting common shares), will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive $68.50 per common share in cash and $16.50 per common share in Class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares of BIPC ("BIPC Shares"), subject to a collar mechanism as described below (the “Merger Consideration”). The collar mechanism will be based on the volume weighted average price of BIPC Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) over the 10 trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the Effective Time (the “BIPC Final Stock Price”). If the BIPC Final Stock Price is greater than or equal to $42.36 but less than or equal to $49.23 (the "Collar"), the Company's shareholders will receive a number of BIPC Shares between 0.3352 and 0.3895 per common share equal to $16.50 in value. The Company's shareholders will receive 0.3895 BIPC Shares per common share if the BIPC Final Stock Price is below $42.36, and 0.3352 BIPC Shares per common share if the BIPC Final Stock Price is above $49.23. Outside of the Collar, the implied value of the stock portion of the Merger Consideration to be received in exchange for each common share will fluctuate based on the market price of BIPC Shares until the completion of the Merger because the stock portion of the Merger Consideration is payable in a fixed number of BIPC Shares. The Company's shareholders will have the option to elect to receive their consideration in cash, BIPC Shares or the mixture described above, subject to pro rata cut backs to the extent cash or BIPC Shares are oversubscribed.

 

The Merger, which is currently expected to close in the third quarter of 2023, is subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company's shareholders. If the transaction is consummated, Triton's common shares will be delisted from the NYSE and deregistered under the Exchange Act. Immediately following the closing of the Merger, Triton's Series A-E cumulative redeemable perpetual preference shares will remain outstanding as an obligation of the Company and are expected to remain listed on the NYSE.

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company suspended its share repurchase program after the close of business on April 6, 2023.

 

On April 28, 2023, in connection with the Merger, the Company entered into consents and amendments to its term loan and revolving credit facility to amend the definition of “Change of Control” in those facilities to exclude any transaction pursuant to which more than 50% of the total of all voting stock of the Company is owned or continues to be owned directly or indirectly by Brookfield, contingent upon and effective as of the consummation of the Merger. Additionally, the lenders consented to the Merger, and agreed that the Merger Agreement and Merger do not constitute a breach, potential default or default or give rise to any other right under those debt facilities.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

The interim Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023; the Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, and the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022; and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company's annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial data and the other financial information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements related to these periods are also unaudited. The consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 or for any other future annual or interim period.

 

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2023. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain changes in presentation have been made to conform the prior period presentation to current period reporting.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the Company's estimates in connection with leasing equipment, including residual values and depreciable lives, values of assets held for sale and other long lived assets, provision for income tax, allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company's equipment leases and trade receivables subject it to potential credit risk. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and credit history. Evaluations of the financial condition and associated credit risk of customers are performed on an ongoing basis. The Company's three largest customers accounted for 19%, 16%, and 11%, respectively, of the Company's lease billings for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

For information on the fair value of equipment held for sale, debt, and the fair value of derivative instruments, please refer to Note 2 - "Equipment Held for Sale", Note 7 - "Debt" and Note 8 - "Derivative Instruments", respectively.

 

Note 2—Equipment Held for Sale

 

The Company's equipment held for sale is recorded at the lower of fair value less cost to sell, or carrying value at the time identified for sale. Fair value is measured using Level 2 inputs and is based predominantly on recent sales prices. An impairment charge is recorded when the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value less cost to sell.

Note 4—Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for share-based payment transactions based on the grant date fair value. The expense is recognized over the employee's requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the equity award. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense in administrative expenses of $2.6 million and $4.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $3.7 million and $6.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Share-based compensation expense includes charges for performance-based shares and units that are deemed probable to vest.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued 135,716 restricted shares, and canceled 77,326 vested shares to settle payroll taxes on behalf of employees.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted share awards and units was $15.7 million, which is currently expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis through January 2026. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, Triton’s non-vested restricted shares and restricted share units that are outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger will be converted into a contingent right to receive an amount in cash equal to the number of shares subject to such award, assuming attainment of the maximum level of performance, multiplied by $85.00 per share (subject to adjustment outside the Collar), which will become payable upon the earlier of the vesting date of the award and the twelve month anniversary of the Merger closing date. Upon closing of the Merger, the incremental share-based compensation expense will be recognized in Transaction and other costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Note 5—Other Equity Matters

 

Share Repurchase Program

(1)     Represents number of shares authorized, issued, and outstanding.

 

Each Series of preferred shares may be redeemed at the Company's option, at any time after approximately five years from original issuance, in whole or in part at a redemption price, plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared. The Company may also redeem each Series of preferred shares prior to the lapse of the five year period upon the occurrence of certain events as described in each instrument, such as transactions that either transfer ownership of substantially all assets to a single entity or establish a majority voting interest by a single entity, and cause a downgrade or withdrawal of rating by the rating agency within 60 days of the event. If the Company does not elect to redeem each Series upon the occurrence of the preceding events, holders of preferred shares may have the right to convert their preferred shares into common shares. Specifically for Series E only, the Company may redeem the Series E Preference Shares if an applicable rating agency changes the methodology or criteria that were employed in assigning equity credit to securities similar to the Series E Preference Shares when originally issued, which either (a) shortens the period of time during which equity credit pertaining to the Series E Preference Shares would have been in effect had the methodology not been changed or (b) reduces the amount of equity credit as compared with the amount of equity credit that the rating agency had assigned to the Series E Preference Shares when originally issued.

 

Holders of preferred shares generally have no voting rights. If the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive), holders will be entitled to elect two additional directors to the Board of Directors and the size of the Board of Directors will be increased to accommodate such election. Such right to elect two directors will continue until such time as there are no accumulated and unpaid dividends in arrears.

 

Dividends

 

Dividends on shares of each Series are cumulative from the date of original issue and will be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. Dividends will be payable equal to the stated rate per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. The Series rank senior to the Company's common shares with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary.

 

Immediately following the closing of the Merger, Triton's Series A-E cumulative redeemable perpetual preference shares will remain outstanding as an obligation of the Company and are expected to remain listed on the NYSE.

(1) There were no executory costs included in gross finance lease receivables as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
(2) The Company's finance leases generally include a purchase option at nominal amounts that is reasonably certain to be exercised, and therefore, the Company has immaterial residual value risk for assets.
(3) The gross finance lease receivable is reduced as billed to customers and reclassified to accounts receivable until paid by customers.
(4) There were no unamortized initial direct costs as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
(5) One major customer represented 93% and 90% as of the Company's finance lease portfolio as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. No other customer represented more than 10% of the Company's finance lease portfolio in each of those periods.

 

The Company’s finance lease portfolio lessees are primarily comprised of the largest international shipping lines. In its estimate of expected credit losses, the Company evaluates the overall credit quality of its finance lease portfolio. The Company considers an account past due when a payment has not been received in accordance with the terms of the related lease agreement and maintains allowances, if necessary, for doubtful accounts. These allowances are based on, but not limited to, historical experience which includes stronger and weaker economic cycles, each lessee's payment history, management's current assessment of each lessee's financial condition, consideration of current economic conditions and reasonable market forecasts.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reversed $0.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of reserves established in 2022 due to better than expected recoveries. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company does not have an allowance on its gross finance lease receivables and does not have any material past due balances.

Asset-Backed Securitization Term Instruments

 

Under the Company's ABS facilities, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company enter into debt agreements for ABS term instruments, including ABS notes. These subsidiaries are intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

 

The Company’s borrowings under the ABS facilities amortize in monthly installments, typically in level payments over five or more years. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment is determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to nine months of interest expense depending on the terms of each facility.

 

Asset-Backed Securitization Warehouse

 

Under the Company’s ABS warehouse facility, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issues ABS notes. This subsidiary is intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

 

The Company's ABS warehouse facility has a borrowing capacity of $1,125.0 million that is available on a revolving basis to April 27, 2025 paying interest at term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 1.60%. After the revolving period, borrowings will convert to term notes with a maturity date of April 27, 2029, paying interest at SOFR plus 2.60%.

 

During the revolving period, the borrowing capacity under this facility is determined by applying an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment are determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three months of interest expense.

Senior Notes

 

The Company’s senior notes are unsecured and have initial maturities ranging from 2 - 10 years and interest payments due semi-annually. The senior notes are pre-payable (in whole or in part) at the Company's option at any time prior to the maturity date, subject to certain provisions in the senior note agreements, including the payment of a make-whole premium in respect to such prepayment.

 

Term Loan Facility

 

The Company's term loan facility has a maturity date of May 27, 2026, which amortizes in quarterly installments and has a reference rate of term SOFR plus 1.48%. This facility is subject to covenants customary for unsecured financings of this type, primarily financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum ratio of unencumbered assets to certain financial indebtedness.

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

The revolving credit facility has a maturity date of October 26, 2027, and has a maximum borrowing capacity of $2,000.0 million. The reference rate is term SOFR plus 1.48%. This facility is subject to covenants customary for unsecured financings of this type, primarily financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum ratio of unencumbered assets to certain financial indebtedness.

 

The Company hedges the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on a portion of its floating-rate debt by entering into interest rate swap agreements that convert a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The following table summarizes the Company's outstanding fixed-rate and floating-rate debt as of June 30, 2023:

 

   Balance Outstanding (in   Contractual Weighted Avg   Maturity Range   Weighted Avg

Unhedged floating-rate debt  $728,000    6.60%          
Total debt  $7,677,254    2.78%          

 

The fair value of total debt outstanding was $6,826.6 million and $7,264.7 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and was measured using Level 2 inputs.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the maximum borrowing levels for the ABS warehouse and the revolving credit facility were $1,125.0 million and $2,000.0 million, respectively. Certain of these facilities are governed by either borrowing bases or an unencumbered asset test that limits borrowing capacity. Based on those limitations, the availability under these credit facilities at June 30, 2023 was approximately $1,404.0 million.

 

On April 28, 2023, in connection with the Merger, the Company entered into consents and amendments to its term loan and revolving credit facility to amend the definition of “Change of Control” in those facilities to exclude any transaction pursuant to which more than 50% of the total of all voting stock of the Company is owned or continues to be owned directly or indirectly by Brookfield, contingent upon and effective as of the consummation of the Merger. Additionally, the lenders consented to the Merger, and agreed that the Merger Agreement and Merger do not constitute a breach, potential default or default or give rise to any other right under those debt facilities.

The Company is subject to certain financial covenants under its debt financings. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in accordance with the terms of its debt agreements.

 

Note 8—Derivative Instruments

 

Interest Rate Swaps / Caps

 

The Company enters into derivative agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate swap agreements are utilized to limit the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of floating-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments over the lives of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and accordingly, changes in the fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to interest and debt expense when they are realized.

 

The Company has entered into offsetting $500.0 million notional interest rate cap agreements with substantially similar economic terms related to certain debt facility requirements. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments, and because they offset, changes in fair value have an immaterial impact on the financial statements.

 

The counterparties to these agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of these agreements, the Company's exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each monthly settlement period over the life of the agreements. The Company does not anticipate any non-performance by the counterparties.

 

Certain assets of the Company's subsidiaries are pledged as collateral for various ABS facilities and the amounts payable under certain derivative agreements. Additionally, the Company may be required to post cash collateral on certain derivative agreements if the fair value of these contracts represents a liability. Any amounts of cash collateral posted are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are presented in operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of June 30, 2023, the Company posted cash collateral on derivative instruments of $2.1 million.

 

Within the next twelve months, we expect to reclassify $49.8 million of net unrealized and realized gains related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had derivative agreements in place to fix interest rates on a portion of the borrowings under its debt facilities with floating interest rates as summarized below:

 

Derivatives  Notional Amount (in millions)   Weighted Average
Fixed Leg (Pay) Interest Rate
   Weighted Average
Remaining Term
 
Interest Rate Swap(1)  $1,314.0    2.22%   3.5 years 

 

(1)Excludes certain interest rate swaps with an effective date in a future period ("forward starting swaps"). Including these instruments will increase total notional amount by $650.0 million and increase the weighted average remaining term to 5.2 years.

 

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into forward starting swaps with a notional value of $300.0 million that will commence on August 1, 2023 and have a termination date of March 31, 2025. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges to fix the interest rates on a portion of our floating rate debt.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

 

The Company presents the fair value of derivative financial instruments on a gross basis as a separate line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

The Company has elected to use the income approach to value its interest rate swap and cap agreements, using Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future values to a single discounted present value. The Level 2 inputs for the interest rate swap and cap valuations are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR and swap rates and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals). The LIBOR reference rate sunset on June 30, 2023. Effective July 1, 2023, the Company’s derivative instruments utilizing LIBOR transitioned to SOFR as the alternative reference rate per the ISDA 2020 IBOR fallbacks protocol.

 

Note 9—Segment and Geographic Information

 

Segment Information

 

The Company operates its business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and has two operating segments which also represent its reporting segments:

 

•Equipment leasing - the Company owns, leases and ultimately disposes of containers and chassis from its lease fleet.

 

•Equipment trading - the Company purchases containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resells these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment. Included in the equipment trading segment revenues are leasing revenues from equipment purchased for resale that is currently on lease until the containers are dropped off.

 

These operating segments were determined based on the chief operating decision maker's review and resource allocation of the products and services offered.

 

The following tables summarizes our segment information and the consolidated totals reported (in thousands):

There are no intercompany revenues or expenses between segments. Certain administrative expenses have been allocated between segments based on an estimate of services provided to each segment. A portion of the Company's equipment purchased for resale in the equipment trading segment may be leased for a period of time and is reflected as leasing equipment as opposed to equipment held for sale and the cash flows associated with these transactions are reflected as purchases of leasing equipment and proceeds from the sale of equipment in investing activities in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

Geographic Segment Information

 

The Company generates the majority of its leasing revenues from international containers which are deployed by its customers in a wide variety of global trade routes. The majority of the Company's leasing related revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars.

 

The following table summarizes the geographic allocation of total leasing revenues based on customers' primary domicile (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended June 30,   Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
Total leasing revenues:                    
Asia  $132,202   $151,894   $272,437   $301,880 
Europe   206,082    219,781    414,209    439,887

Total  $386,539   $421,608   $784,262   $838,696 

 

Since the majority of the Company's containers are used internationally, where no one container is domiciled in one particular place for a prolonged period of time, all of the Company's long-lived assets are considered to be international.

 

The following table summarizes the geographic allocation of equipment trading revenues based on the location of the sale (in thousands):

Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies

 

Container Equipment Purchase Commitments

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had commitments to purchase equipment in the amount of $4.7 million to be paid in 2023.

 

Contingencies

 

The Company is party to various pending or threatened legal or regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Based upon information presently available, the Company does not expect any liabilities arising from these matters to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

Note 11—Income Taxes

 

The following table summarizes the Company's effective tax rate:

 

   Three Months Ended June 30,   Six months ended June 30, 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
Effective Income Tax Rate   9.2%   7.5%   8.5%   7.1%

 

The Company has computed the provision for income taxes based on the estimated annual effective tax rate and the application of discrete items, if any, in the applicable period. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to an increase in the portion of the Company's income generated in higher tax jurisdictions and a one-time $1.4 million write-off of deferred tax benefits resulting from the early buyout of containers under finance leases in the second quarter of 2023.

 

Note 12—Related Party Transactions

 

The Company holds a 50% interest in Tristar Container Services (Asia) Private Limited ("Tristar"), which is primarily engaged in the selling and leasing of container equipment in the domestic and short sea markets in India.  The Company's equity investment in Tristar is included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company received payments on finance leases with Tristar of $0.5 million and $1.0 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company has a direct finance lease balance with Tristar of $6.6 million and $7.4 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

These Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (“BIP”, “Brookfield Infrastructure” or the “partnership”), are prepared based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the partnership and Triton International Ltd. (“Triton”). These unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the consummated acquisition of Triton (the “Transaction”) on the consolidated financial statements of the partnership.

 

On September 28, 2023, Brookfield Infrastructure, through its subsidiary Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (“BIPC”) and alongside institutional partners (the “Triton consortium”) completed the acquisition of Triton International Limited (“Triton”), the world’s largest owner and lessor of intermodal shipping containers, for consideration of $1.2 billion (Triton consortium - $4.5 billion), comprised of cash and approximately 21 million BIPC shares. The partnership, through BIPC, has an effective 28% interest in Triton. Concurrently, BIPC entered into a voting agreement with an affiliate of Brookfield, providing BIPC the right to direct the relevant activities of the entity, thereby providing BIPC with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Infrastructure consolidated the entity effective September 28, 2023.

 

The impact of the acquisition of Triton has been reflected in BIP's statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023, which is included in BIP’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 20-F. The information in the Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operating Results for the year ended December 31, 2023 gives effect to transaction accounting adjustments as if the Transaction had been consummated on January 1, 2023.

All financial data for Triton has been derived from its historical financial information. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with (1) the audited annual financial statements of the partnership, with the notes thereto, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in the partnership’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 20-F; (2) the audited annual financial statements of Triton as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the partnership’s Form 6-K filed on July 31, 2023; and (3) the unaudited interim financial statements of Triton as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, included in the partnership’s Form 6-K filed on April 5, 2024.

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating results of the partnership had the Transaction occurred on the dates indicated, nor is such pro forma financial information necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.

a.Management determined there to be no material adjustments to reconcile the financial statements of Triton, prepared under accounting standards generally accepted in the United States, to IFRS. Reclassification adjustments have been made to conform the presentation of the consolidated financial statements of Triton to the presentation of financial information in BIP’s financial statements, which mainly include reclassifying revenue and income into a single revenue line item and reclassifying operating expenses into a single direct operating expense line item.
b.Triton's historical consolidated net income has been attributed to BIP’s equity holders.

 

 

 

 

NOTE 2. TRANSACTION ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENTS

 

The following explanatory notes present Triton's statements of operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as adjusted to give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2023. Please refer to Note 6 of the Partnership's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 for the purchase price allocation of the Triton acquisition.

 

a.Revenue has been adjusted to reflect the changes of finance lease revenue due to the fair value adjustment to Triton's finance lease receivable as a result of acquisition accounting, computed using the weighted average market interest rates of Triton's finance lease portfolios.
b.Depreciation and amortization expense has been adjusted to reflect the fair value adjustments on property plant and equipment and intangibles assets (mainly including brand name and customer relationships) as a result of the Triton acquisition. The total asset fair value adjustments of $408 million are amortized over the remaining useful lives ranging between 10 and 50 years.
c.Adjustment reflects $140 million of amortization of the fair value adjustment of the assumed debt as a result of acquisition accounting of the Triton acquisition. The fair value adjustment is amortized over the weighted average remaining term of Triton’s fixed and floating-rate debt.
d.Included in BIP and Triton’s historical consolidated statement of operating results are transaction costs of $49 million and $71 million, respectively, in connection with the Triton acquisition.
e.Deferred income taxes as a result of transaction accounting adjustments on the unaudited pro forma statement of operating results of BIP have been adjusted based on a tax rate of 9.7%. The rates are based on the effective income tax rate of Triton as disclosed in Note 12 of Triton’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
f.The net effect of transaction accounting adjustments has been attributed to equity holders based on their proportionate ownership interest in Triton.

 

NOTE 3. MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BROOKFIELD CORPORATION

 

Brookfield Corporation and its subsidiaries provide management services to BIP pursuant to a master services agreement (the “Master Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, on a quarterly basis, BIP pays a base management fee to the service providers equal to 0.3125% (1.25% annually) of the market value of BIP. For purposes of calculating the base management fee, the market value of BIP is equal to the aggregate value of all the outstanding units, preferred units and securities of the other service recipients, which includes BIPC, plus all outstanding third party debt with recourse to a service recipient, less all cash held by such entities. Based on 21,094,441 of BIPC Shares issued in connection with the Triton acquisition, the base management fee is expected to increase by $9 million annually, which has not been reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements.

 

NOTE 4. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER UNIT ATTRIBUTABLE TO LIMITED PARTNERS

 

For the purpose of BIP’s unaudited pro forma statement of operating results, pro forma basic and diluted earnings per unit attributable to limited partners is calculated as pro forma total net income attributable to limited partners less preferred unit distributions for the period, divided by the weighted average number of BIP’s limited partnership units outstanding during the period. The number of BIP's limited partnership units did not change as a result of the Triton acquisition.
