Forward Looking StatementsThese presentations contain “forward-looking statements” about the business, financial performance, contracts, leases and prospects of InfraREIT, Inc. (the Company).

Words such as “could,” “will,” “may,” “assume,” “forecast,” “position,” “predict,” “strategy,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “target,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “anticipate,”

“believe,” “project,” “budget,” “potential” or “continue” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements

contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on

currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. The Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those

expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements made in connection with this presentation. The Company’s capabilities or performance, stockholder value as well

as any other statements that are not historical facts in this presentation are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult

to predict and beyond the Company’s control. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements

include, without limitation, decisions by regulators or changes in governmental policies or regulations with respect to the Company’s organizational structure, lease

arrangements, capitalization, acquisitions and dispositions of assets, recovery of investments, authorized rate of return and other regulatory parameters; the Company’s

current reliance on its tenant for all of its revenues and, as a result, the Company’s dependence on its tenant’s solvency and financial and operating performance; the effects

of existing and future tax and other laws and governmental regulations; the Company's failure to qualify or maintain its status as a real estate investment trust (REIT) or

changes in the tax laws applicable to REITs; the amount of available investment to grow the Company’s rate base; insufficient cash available to meet distribution

requirements; the price and availability of debt and equity financing; the Company’s level of indebtedness or debt service ob ligations; cyber breaches, weather conditions or

other natural phenomena; the effects of existing and future tax and other laws and governmental regulations; the termination of the Company’s management agreement or

the loss of the services of the Company’s manager or other qualified personnel; and adverse developments in the electric power industry or in business conditions generally.

When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors”

included in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying

assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and reaffirmed, and the

Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required

by law.

Non-GAAP LegendThis presentation contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). InfraREIT’s management uses non-

GAAP measures as important supplemental measures of its operating performance. For example, management uses the cash available for distribution (CAD)

measurement when recommending dividends to its Board of Directors. These non-GAAP measures are also presented because management believes they help investors

understand InfraREIT’s business, performance and ability to earn and distribute cash to its stockholders by providing perspec tives not immediately apparent from net

income. InfraREIT has a diverse set of investors, including investors that primarily focus on utilities, yieldcos, MLPs or REITs. Management believes that each of these

different classes of investors focus on different types of metrics in their evaluation of InfraREIT. For instance, many util ity investors focus on earnings per share (EPS) and

management believes its presentation of non-GAAP earnings per share (Non-GAAP EPS) enables a better comparison to other utilities. Management believes it is

appropriate to calculate and provide these measures in order to be responsive to these investors. Including the reporting on these measures in InfraREIT’s public

disclosures also ensures that this information is available to all of InfraREIT’s investors. The presentation of Non-GAAP EPS; CAD; net income (loss) before interest

expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); Adjusted EBITDA; funds from operations (FFO); and adjusted FFO (AFFO) in this presentation

are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition,

InfraREIT’s method of calculating these measures may be different from methods used by other companies, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures

as calculated by other companies that do not use the same methodology as InfraREIT. Reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP

measures are included in Schedules 1-4 to this presentation.

Existing leases will be terminated and SDTS and SU will enter into two

new leases based on asset type

Transmission assets

Distribution assets

Leases will be directly regulated and approved by the PUCT as part of

an SDTS tariff

New leases are designed to continue to comply with the “true lease”

requirement and other tax rules applicable to REITs

Rent updated through rate cases, TCOS and DCRF filings instead of

annual rent supplements and validations

New leases will each have four-year terms compared to staggered,

multi-year expirations

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP EPSQ4 2016 vs. Q4 2015

22

Non-GAAP EPS

InfraREIT defines non-GAAP net income as net income (loss) adjusted in a manner the Company believes is appropriate to show

its core operational performance, including: (a) adding back the non-cash reorganization structuring fee, (b) adding back the

reorganization expense related to the Company’s initial public offering (IPO) and related reorganization transactions, (c) adding

back the expense related to the contingent consideration issued as deemed capital credits, (d) a quarterly, not annual, adjustment

for the difference between the amount of percentage rent payments that the Company expects to receive with respect to the

applicable period and the amount of percentage rent the Company recognizes under GAAP during the period and (e) an

adjustment for the difference between the amount of base rent payments that the Company receives with respect to the applicable

period and the amount of straight-line base rent recognized under GAAP. The Company defines Non-GAAP EPS as non-GAAP

net income (loss) divided by the weighted average shares outstanding calculated in the manner described in the footnotes below.

The following table set forth a reconciliation of net income attributable to InfraREIT, Inc. per diluted share to Non-GAAP EPS for

Schedule 1:

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP EPS

(1) Represents the difference between the amount of percentage rent payments and the amount recognized during the applicable

period, if any. Although the Company receives percentage rent payments related to each quarter, it does not recognize lease

revenue related to these percentage rent payments until the Company’s tenant’s annual gross revenues exceed minimum specified

annual breakpoints under the leases.

(2) This adjustment relates to the difference between the timing of cash base rent payments made under the Company’s leases and

when the Company recognizes base rent revenue under GAAP. The Company recognizes base rent on a straight-line basis over

the applicable term of the lease commencing when the related assets are placed in service, which is frequently different than the

period in which the cash rent becomes due.

(3) The weighted average common shares outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2016 of 43.7 million was used to

calculate net income attributable to InfraREIT, Inc. per diluted share. The weighted average redeemable partnership units

outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2016 of 16.9 million was used to calculate the net income attributable to

noncontrolling interest per share. The combination of the weighted average common shares and redeemable partnership units

outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2016 of 60.6 million was used for the remainder of the per share

calculations.

(4) The weighted average common shares outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2015 of 43.6 million was used to

calculate net income attributable to InfraREIT, Inc. per diluted share. The weighted average redeemable partnership units

outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2015 of 17.0 million was used to calculate the net income attributable to

noncontrolling interest per share. The combination of the weighted average shares and redeemable partnership units outstanding

during the three months ended December 31, 2015 of 60.6 million was used for the remainder of the per share calculations.

(5) The weighted average common shares outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2016 of 43.6 million was used to calculate

net income attributable to InfraREIT, Inc. per diluted share. The weighted average redeemable partnership units outstanding during

the year ended December 31, 2016 of 17.0 million was used to calculate net income attributable to noncontrolling interest per share.

The combination of the weighted average common shares and redeemable partnership units outstanding during the year ended

December 31, 2016 of 60.6 million was used for the remainder of the per share calculations.

(6) The weighted average common shares outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2015 of 43.0 million was used to calculate

net loss attributable to InfraREIT, Inc. per diluted share. The weighted average redeemable partnership units outstanding during the

year ended December 31, 2015 of 16.2 million was used to calculate net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest per share. The

combination of the weighted average common shares and redeemable partnership units outstanding during the year ended

December 31, 2015 of 59.2 million was used for the remainder of the per share calculations.

Schedule 2:

Explanation and Reconciliation of CADQ4 2016 vs. Q4 2015

25

CAD

The Company defines CAD in a manner that it believes is appropriate to show its core operational performance, which includes a

deduction of the portion of capital expenditures needed to maintain its net assets. This deduction equals depreciation expense

within the applicable period. The portion of the capital expenditures in excess of depreciation, which the Company refers to as

growth capital expenditures, will increase the Company’s net assets. The CAD calculation also includes various other

adjustments from net income, as outlined below and described in more detail on Schedules 1, 3 and 4.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income to CAD for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Explanation and Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAQ4 2016 vs. Q4 2015

27

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

InfraREIT defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net; income tax expense; depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted in a manner the Company believes is appropriate to show its core operational

performance, including: (a) adding back the non-cash reorganization structuring fee, (b) a quarterly, not annual, adjustment for the

difference between the amount of percentage rent payments that the Company expects to receive with respect to the applicable

period and the amount of percentage rent the Company recognizes under GAAP during the period, (c) an adjustment for the

difference between the amount of base rent payments that the Company receives with respect to the applicable period and the

amount of straight-line base rent recognized under GAAP, (d) adding back the reorganization expense related to the Company’s

IPO and related reorganization transactions and (e) adjusting for other income (expense), net.

Schedule 4:

Explanation of FFO and AFFO

29

FFO and AFFO

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with

GAAP), excluding gains and losses from sales of property (net) and impairments of depreciated real estate, plus real estate

depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated

partnerships and joint ventures. Applying the NAREIT definition to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which is the

basis for the FFO and the reconciliations below, results in FFO representing net income (loss) before depreciation, impairment of

assets and gain (loss) on sale of assets. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and it is

not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions.

AFFO is defined as FFO adjusted in a manner the Company believes is appropriate to show its core operational performance,

including: (a) adding back the non-cash reorganization structuring fee, (b) a quarterly, not annual, adjustment for the difference

between the amount of percentage rent payments that the Company expects to receive with respect to the applicable period and

the amount of percentage rent the Company recognizes under GAAP during the period, (c) an adjustment for the difference

between the amount of base rent payments that the Company receives with respect to the applicable period and the amount of

straight-line base rent recognized under GAAP, (d) adding back the reorganization expense related to the Company’s IPO and

related reorganization transactions and (e) adjusting for other income (expense), net.
