Net income increased compared to the prior year as the current period benefited from organic growth at the high - end of our target range , contributions from recently closed acquisitions , and a gain on the sale of our U.S. district energy operation which closed in July . Funds from Operations ( or FFO ) of $ 422 million for the quarter reflects a 16 % increase compared with the same period last year . Results were supported by strong growth from our base business and the initial contribution from Inter Pipeline Ltd. ( IPL ) . Excluding the recovery of shutdown - related effects experienced in 2020 , organic growth was robust at 9 % . This includes inflationary tariff increases and the commissioning of over $ 800 million in new capital projects in the last twelve months . Current quarter results exclude the impact related to the sale of various assets , which raised almost $ 2 billion of net proceeds for Brookfield Infrastructure this year . Segment Performance The utilities segment generated FFO of $ 182 million compared with $ 169 million in the prior year . Organic growth for the segment of 7 % reflects inflation indexation and the commissioning of over $ 400 million of capital into the rate base during the last 12 months . Results also benefited from the acquisition of the remaining interest in our Brazilian regulated gas transmission operation . Last year's results included our U.K. smart meter portfolio and North American district energy platform , which were divested earlier this year . FFO for the transport segment was $ 181 million , an improvement of approximately 18 % compared with the prior year . Results benefited from strong organic growth driven by economic recovery - fueled volumes and inflationary tariff increases . Growth is also attributable to a full - quarter contribution from our U.S. liquified natural gas ( LNG ) export terminal . Prior year results included a full contribution from our Australian export terminal , of which we sold a 22 % stake in December 2020 . FFO for the midstream segment totaled $ 103 million , an annual increase of more than 55 % . Results reflect a partial contribution from IPL , in addition to strong gas transportation volumes and the benefit of elevated commodity prices across our existing businesses . Prior year results reflected an additional 12.5 % ownership in our U.S. gas pipeline , which was sold in March . Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. 1
