Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” about the business, financial performance, contracts, leases and prospects of InfraREIT, Inc. (InfraREIT or 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, and in no event should the inclusion of forecasted information in
this presentation be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained therein will be achieved. Statements about the Company’s anticipated financial and
operating performance, including projected or forecasted financial results, distributions to stockholders, capital expenditures, debt ratios, capitalization matters and other
forecasted metrics, as well as statements about a possible De-REIT alternative and 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 impact of any termination of the Company’s real estate investment trust (REIT) status; the implications of the
Company’s relationships with Hunt and its affiliates on any transaction or arrangement that may be proposed with respect to InfraREIT’s business or structure; the Company’s
current reliance on its tenant for all of its revenues and, as a result, the Company’s dependency on its tenant’s solvency and financial and operating performance; the amount
of available investment to grow the Company’s rate base; the Company’s ability to negotiate future rent payments or to renew leases with its tenant; insufficient cash available
to meet distribution requirements; and the effects of existing and future tax and other laws and governmental regulations. 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 Legend
This 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. InfraREIT also presents these measures because management believes they help
investors understand InfraREIT’s business, performance and ability to earn and distribute cash to its stockholders by providing perspectives 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 utility 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, 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 1-3 to this presentation.
Q1 2018 Highlights and Recent Events
2
 Solid Q1 2018 performance
 Growth in lease revenue was $6 million, up 15 percent, driven by fixed rent comprising a
larger percentage of expected total rent under the Company’s leases for 2018 and
additional assets under lease
 Net income increased $7 million to $18 million in the first quarter of 2018, primarily due
to higher lease revenue
 Net income attributable to InfraREIT, Inc. common shareholders per share (EPS) of
$0.29 in 2018 compared to $0.18 in 2017
 Non-GAAP EPS of $0.29 in 2018 compared to $0.20 in 2017
 $15 million of capital expenditures
 Second Circuit of the Panhandle loop and two synchronous condensers placed in
service during the first half of 2018
InfraREIT’s Corporate Structure
3
 InfraREIT’s Board of Directors completed its initial review of the Company’s
REIT status and has directed management to pursue an alternative structure
that would involve terminating REIT status and opting for a C-corp structure
(“De-REIT alternative”), which could also include one or more of the following:
 Combining SDTS and Sharyland
 Terminating the leases between SDTS and Sharyland
 Other negotiations with Hunt and its affiliates, including seeking to terminate or
renegotiate the following:
• Management agreement
• Development agreement
• Other related agreements
 The Board of Directors has not set a specific timeline for evaluating a De-REIT
alternative nor is there any guarantee that a De-REIT alternative will be
executed
 In tandem, the Conflicts Committee will continue to monitor Hunt’s Schedule
13D filings regarding Hunt’s intentions with respect to InfraREIT

 At the March 8th Open Meeting, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT)
approved a final order related to Lubbock Power & Light’s (LP&L) application to join the
ERCOT market
 The current planning-level estimate of the total transmission requirement to interconnect LP&L to
ERCOT is $364 million
 LP&L and Sharyland will build the required transmission interconnections
• The two parties were asked to work jointly to determine which portions of the new
transmission lines and substations would be built by each party
 The Company expects less than $10 million of Sharyland’s portion to be footprint capital
expenditures
 Later this summer, Sharyland expects ERCOT’s completion of the South Plains study
refresh taking into account the new lines already endorsed for the integration of
Lubbock into ERCOT. ERCOT’s independent review could include the endorsement of
a third and, depending on the new levels of committed wind generation, a fourth
synchronous condenser.
 If included and ultimately approved, the new synchronous condensers would be footprint capital
expenditures

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) 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 and (b) adding back the transaction costs
related to the Asset Exchange Transaction. 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 sets forth a reconciliation of net income attributable to InfraREIT, Inc. per diluted share to Non-GAAP EPS for the three
months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:
13
Schedule 1:
Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP EPS
(1) 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.
(2) This adjustment reflects the transaction costs related to the Asset Exchange Transaction. These costs are exclusive of the
Company’s routine business operations or typical rate case costs and have been excluded to present additional insights on
InfraREIT’s core operations.
(3) The weighted average common shares outstanding of 43.8 million was used to calculate net income attributable to InfraREIT, Inc.
per diluted share. The weighted average redeemable partnership units outstanding 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 of 60.7 million was used for the remainder of the per share calculations.
14
Schedule 2:
Explanation and Reconciliation of FFO and AFFO
Q1 2018 vs. Q1 2017
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) 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; (b) adding back the transaction costs related to the Asset Exchange Transaction; and (c)
adjusting for other income (expense), net.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income to FFO and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:

Forecasted Guidance for 2018
The Company provides yearly guidance for Non-GAAP EPS, which is one of the supplemental financial measures it uses
in evaluating the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Non-GAAP EPS helps the Company and
investors better understand the Company’s business and performance by providing perspectives not immediately
apparent from net income.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the forecasted GAAP net income attributable to InfraREIT, Inc. per share

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)
Financial Implications
22
 The TCJA reduced the corporate federal income tax rate from 35 percent to 21
percent
 As a result, the PUCT ordered all electric utilities to book a regulatory liability
for the revaluation of accumulated deferred federal income tax (ADFIT) and
the customer rate differential resulting from the lower corporate federal tax
rate
 Sharyland reduced its wholesale transmission rates for the reduced income
tax allowance instead of booking the regulatory liability for the customer rate
differential
 Sharyland communicated to InfraREIT its current intent not to request a reduction to
2018 lease payments to reflect the impacts of the TCJA
 Impacts to InfraREIT
 Reduced percentage rent in 2018 due to a reduction in Sharyland’s revenues
 Lower lease revenue per dollar of rate base on new assets placed in service or at
lease renewals reflecting a lower tax rate
 Created a $56 million regulatory liability during the fourth quarter of 2017 to reflect
the reduction in ADFIT

    Transmission Development Update 5 At the March 8th Open Meeting, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) approved a final order related to Lubbock Power & Light’s (LP&L) application to join the ERCOT market  The current planning-level estimate of the total transmission requirement to interconnect LP&L to ERCOT is $364 million  LP&L and Sharyland will build the required transmission interconnections • The two parties were asked to work jointly to determine which portions of the new transmission lines and substations would be built by each party  The Company expects less than $10 million of Sharyland’s portion to be footprint capital expenditures  Later this summer, Sharyland expects ERCOT’s completion of the South Plains study refresh taking into account the new lines already endorsed for the integration of Lubbock into ERCOT. ERCOT’s independent review could include the endorsement of a third and, depending on the new levels of committed wind generation, a fourth synchronous condenser.  If included and ultimately approved, the new synchronous condensers would be footprint capital expenditures

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 sets forth a reconciliation of net income attributable to InfraREIT, Inc. per diluted share to Non-GAAP EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:

    13 Schedule 1: Explanation andReconciliation of Non-GAAP EPS (1) 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. (2) This adjustment reflects the transaction costs related to the Asset Exchange Transaction. These costs are exclusive of the Company’s routine business operations or typical rate case costs and have been excluded to present additional insights on InfraREIT’s core operations. (3) The weighted average common shares outstanding of 43.8 million was used to calculate net income attributable to InfraREIT, Inc. per diluted share. The weighted average redeemable partnership units outstanding 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 of 60.7 million was used for the remainder of the per share calculations.

    14 Schedule 2: Explanation andReconciliation of FFO and AFFO Q1 2018 vs. Q1 2017 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) 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; (b) adding back the transaction costs related to the Asset Exchange Transaction; and (c) adjusting for other income (expense), net. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income to FFO and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017: ($ thousands) Q1 2018 Q1 2017 Net income $ 17,764 $ 11,017 Depreciation 11,577 12,687 FFO 29,341 23,704 Base rent adjustment (1) (120) 957 Other income, net (2) (733) (3) Transaction costs (3) 151 — AFFO $ 28,639 $ 24,658 (1) See footnote (1) on Schedule 1: Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP EPS (2) Includes allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) on other funds of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. There was no AFUDC on other funds recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017. (3) See footnote (2) on Schedule 1: Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP EPS

    Schedule 3: Forecasted Guidancefor 2018 Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP 15 Forecasted Guidance for 2018 The Company provides yearly guidance for Non-GAAP EPS, which is one of the supplemental financial measures it uses in evaluating the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Non-GAAP EPS helps the Company and investors better understand the Company’s business and performance by providing perspectives not immediately apparent from net income.

    Tax Cuts andJobs Act (TCJA) Financial Implications 22  The TCJA reduced the corporate federal income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent  As a result, the PUCT ordered all electric utilities to book a regulatory liability for the revaluation of accumulated deferred federal income tax (ADFIT) and the customer rate differential resulting from the lower corporate federal tax rate  Sharyland reduced its wholesale transmission rates for the reduced income tax allowance instead of booking the regulatory liability for the customer rate differential  Sharyland communicated to InfraREIT its current intent not to request a reduction to 2018 lease payments to reflect the impacts of the TCJA  Impacts to InfraREIT  Reduced percentage rent in 2018 due to a reduction in Sharyland’s revenues  Lower lease revenue per dollar of rate base on new assets placed in service or at lease renewals reflecting a lower tax rate  Created a $56 million regulatory liability during the fourth quarter of 2017 to reflect the reduction in ADFIT
