Operations

Funds From Operations of $339 million or $0.51 on a per Unit basis is higher than the prior year driven by:

•Contributions from growth, both from acquisitions and roughly 4,700 MW of new development projects reaching commercial operation in the past 12 months;

•Strong all-in pricing across most of our fleet; and

•High asset availability across our portfolio

After deducting non-cash depreciation, foreign exchange and derivative gains or losses and other, net loss attributable to Unitholders for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $154 million.

We continued to focus on being the partner of choice to procure power

•Advanced commercial priorities, including securing contracts to deliver an incremental 2,700 gigawatt hours per year of generation, of which ~90% of development was contracted with corporate customers, building on the success of our recently announced partnership with Microsoft to deliver over 10.5 GW of renewable capacity between 2026 and 2030

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our best-in-class balance sheet with investment grade BBB+ credit rating and access to diverse sources of capital continue to differentiate our business and enable us to opportunistically invest when capital becomes scarce

•Our balance sheet is very strong and we have $4.4 billion of available liquidity providing us the flexibility to deploy scale capital in the current environment where we are seeing a significant volume of opportunities to invest at attractive risk adjusted returns

•During the quarter we took advantage of tightening spreads by executing $1.7 billion of project level financings. We continue to execute on opportunities to refinance project level debt extending maturities in what is a constructive market for investment grade financings

•In July, we opportunistically issued C$300 million of 10-year notes and C$100 million of 30-year notes at 4.9% and 5.4% respectively. The issuances extended our average corporate debt maturity beyond 12 years at an attractive cost of capital

•We have executed or signed asset sales generating over $400 million ($250 million net to Brookfield Renewable) and two times our invested capital. We continue to see strong demand for high-quality, de-risked, operating renewable power assets and expect to sell a number of assets this year generating approximately $3 billion of proceeds ($1.3 billion net to Brookfield Renewable) at attractive returns.

Growth and Development

Together with our institutional partners, we have deployed or committed to deploy $8.6 billion of capital (approximately $970 million net to Brookfield Renewable) across multiple investments globally, further diversifying our business and adding leading platforms in attractive regions, including:

•Agreed to acquire a 53% controlling stake in Neoen, a global renewable platform with market leading positions in each of France, Australia and the Nordics. Neoen has 8 GW of operating and in construction renewable power and energy storage assets, and a 20 GW advanced stage pipeline. After regulatory approvals, which are expected in the fourth quarter of this year, we will launch a tender offer for the remaining shares. Our offer to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Neoen is for $6.7 billion (up to $540 million net to Brookfield Renewable).

•We acquired a 74% interest in Leap Green, a leading wind focused commercial and industrial renewable business in India, with ~500 MW of operating capacity and an almost 3 GW development pipeline for initial consideration of $89 million (expected $18 million net to Brookfield Renewable) with the opportunity to invest an incremental $121 million with a path to achieving a 98% interest (expected $24 million net to Brookfield Renewable).

•We acquired the operating and development platform of Hanmaeum Energy, a South Korean solar-focused renewables platform with 340 MW of operating and near construction distributed generation capacity and a 2.2 GW pipeline for upfront payments of $30 million (expected $6 million net to Brookfield Renewable) with the potential to deploy up to $468 million of incremental capital (expected $96 million net to Brookfield Renewable).

•Agreed to acquire a 75% interest in a leading renewables development platform in Australia with over 2 GW of wind and co-located battery development projects for $162 million ($32 million net to Brookfield Renewable) with the opportunity to invest an incremental $408 million ($82 million net to Brookfield Renewable).

We continue to accelerate our development activities

•We continued to grow and advance our development pipeline which now stands at over 200 GW with 65 GW at the advanced stage. We expect to commission approximately 7 GW of new capacity this year, which will add approximately $90 million of annual incremental FFO.

With lower capital costs, higher potential revenues and increasing demand we are deploying capital into battery storage solutions and were awarded twenty-year capacity contracts for 400 MW of battery storage from the grid operator in Ontario through a joint venture. With our development projects and the closing of our Neoen acquisition, we will be one of the largest battery developers with 2,300 MW of operating and under construction capacity.

Variance Analysis For The Three Months Ended June 30, 2024

Revenues totaling $1,482 million represents an increase of $277 million over the same period in the prior year due to the growth of our business, inflation escalation on contracted generation and high asset availability. Recently acquired and commissioned facilities contributed 3,957 GWh of generation and $221 million to revenues, which was partly offset by our recently completed asset sales that reduced generation by 76 GWh and revenues by $7 million. On a same store, constant currency basis, revenue increased by $37 million as the benefits from inflation escalation on our contracted generation in Canada, Brazil and Colombia and higher resources across our wind and U.S. hydro assets were partially offset by lower resources at our Canadian hydro portfolio and Colombian hydro assets, which experienced drier El Niño conditions.

The strengthening of the Colombian peso relative to the U.S. dollar compared to the same period in the prior year was partially offset by the relative weakening of the Canadian dollar, Euro and Brazilian real, increasing revenues by $26 million, which was offset by a $27 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact on our direct operating costs and interest expense for the quarter.

Direct operating costs totaling $618 million represents an increase of $193 million over the same period in the prior year primarily due to additional costs from our recently acquired and commissioned facilities including the growth of our business, higher power purchases in Colombia, which are passed through to consumers and the above noted foreign exchange fluctuations, which were partially offset by our recently completed asset sales.

Management service costs totaling $53 million represents a decrease of $2 million over the same period in the prior year.

Interest expense totaling $489 million represents an increase of $87 million over the same period in the prior year due to recent acquisitions, financing initiatives to fund development activities and the above noted foreign exchange fluctuations.

Depreciation expense totaling $517 million represents an increase of $59 million over the same period in the prior year due to the growth of our business.

Net loss totaling $88 million represents a decrease of $239 million over the prior year primarily due to the above noted items.

Variance Analysis For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Revenues totaling $2,974 million represents an increase of $438 million over the same period in the prior year due to the growth of our business, inflation escalation on contracted generation and high asset availability. Recently acquired and commissioned facilities contributed 8,039 GWh of generation and $452 million to revenue, which was partly offset by recently completed asset sales that reduced generation by 664 GWh and revenue by $49 million. On a same store, constant currency basis, revenues decreased by $58 million as the benefits from inflation escalation on our contracted generation in Canada, Brazil and Colombia and higher resources at our U.S. hydro assets were offset by lower resources at our Canadian hydro portfolio and our Colombia hydro portfolio that benefited from above LTA conditions in the prior year.

The strengthening of the Colombian peso and Euro relative to the U.S. dollar compared to the same period in the prior year was partially offset by the relative weakening of the Brazilian real and Canadian dollar, increasing revenues by $93 million, which was partly offset by a $76 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact on our operating and interest expense for the year.

Direct operating costs totaling $1,252 million represents an increase of $426 million over the same period in the prior year primarily due to additional costs from our recently acquired and commissioned facilities and higher power purchases in Colombia, which are passed through to our customers and the above noted foreign exchange fluctuations partly offset by our recently completed asset sales.

Management service costs totaling $98 million represents a decrease of $14 million over the same period in the prior year.

Interest expense totaling $965 million represents an increase of $169 million over the same period in the prior year due to recent acquisitions, financing initiatives to fund development activities and the above noted foreign exchange fluctuations.

Depreciation expense totaling $1,019 million represents an increase of $132 million over the same period in the prior year due to the growth of our business and the strengthening of the Colombian peso relative to the U.S. dollar.

Net loss totaling $158 million represents a decrease of $486 million over the prior year due to the above noted items.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Brookfield Renewable's related party transactions are in the normal course of business and are recorded at the exchange amount. Brookfield Renewable's related party transactions are primarily with Brookfield Corporation.

Brookfield Renewable sells electricity to Brookfield through a single long-term PPA across Brookfield Renewable’s New York hydroelectric facilities. Brookfield will support the price that Brookfield Renewable receives for energy generated by certain facilities in the United States.

Brookfield Renewable has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby Brookfield Renewable gained control of the entities that own certain renewable power generating facilities. Brookfield Renewable has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of the Colombian business. The voting agreements provide Brookfield Renewable the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide Brookfield Renewable with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewable consolidates the accounts of these entities.

Brookfield Renewable participates with institutional partners in Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund V, Brookfield Infrastructure Income Fund, Brookfield Global Transition Fund I, Brookfield Global Transition Fund II, and Brookfield Infrastructure Debt Fund (“Private Funds”), each of which is a Brookfield sponsored fund, and in connection therewith, Brookfield Renewable, together with our institutional partners, has access to financing using the Private Funds’ credit facilities.

From time to time, in order to facilitate investment activities in a timely and efficient manner, Brookfield Renewable will fund deposits or incur other costs and expenses (including by use of loan facilities to consummate, support, guarantee or issue letters of credit) in respect of an investment that ultimately will be shared with or made entirely by Brookfield sponsored vehicles, consortiums and/or partnerships (including private funds, joint ventures and similar arrangements), Brookfield Renewable, or by co-investors.

Brookfield Corporation has provided a $400 million committed unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in December 2024 and the draws bear interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin. During the current period, there were no draws on the committed unsecured revolving credit facility provided by Brookfield Corporation. Brookfield Corporation may from time to time place funds on deposit with Brookfield Renewable which are repayable on demand including any interest accrued. There were nil funds placed on deposit with Brookfield Renewable as at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: nil). The interest expense on the Brookfield Corporation revolving credit facility and deposit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled nil (2023: nil, respectively).

As at June 30, 2024, to the extent that LP unit distributions exceed $0.20 per LP unit per quarter, the incentive is 15% of distributions above this threshold. To the extent that quarterly LP unit distributions exceed $0.2253 per LP unit per quarter, the incentive distribution is equal to 25% of distributions above this threshold. Incentive distributions of $32 million and $65 million were declared during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (2023: $28 million and $55 million, respectively).

Preferred equity

The Class A Preference Shares of Brookfield Renewable Power Preferred Equity Inc. (“BRP Equity”) do not have a fixed maturity date and are not redeemable at the option of the holders. As at June 30, 2024, none of the issued Class A, Series 5 and 6 Preference Shares have been redeemed by BRP Equity.

In December 2023, the Toronto Stock Exchange accepted notice of BRP Equity's intention to renew the normal course issuer bid in connection with its outstanding Class A Preference Shares to December 17, 2024, or earlier should the repurchases be completed prior to such date.

Shareholders may receive a copy of the notice, free of charge, by contacting Brookfield Renewable. There were no repurchases of Class A Preference Shares during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

(2)Non-IFRS measures. For reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measure see “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

North America

Funds From Operations at our North American business was $97 million versus $114 million in the prior year as the benefit from inflation indexation on our contracted generation was offset by lower generation and lower average revenue per MWh due primarily to generation mix (resource was lowest in high value markets) and the weakening of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar.

Brazil

Funds From Operations at our Brazilian business was $30 million versus $36 million in the prior year as the benefit of LTA generation and inflation indexation of our contracted generation was offset by weaker pricing realized on our uncontracted generation and the weakening of the Brazilian real versus the U.S. dollar.

Colombia

Funds From Operations at our Colombian business was $9 million versus $21 million in the prior year as the benefits from higher average revenue per MWh due to inflation indexation on contracted generation and higher pricing realized on our uncontracted generation was offset by below LTA generation due to drier El Niño conditions.

CONTRACT PROFILE

We operate our power business on a largely contracted basis to provide a high degree of predictability in Funds From Operations. We maintain a long-term view that electricity prices and the demand for electricity will rise due to electrification of the global economy including segments like industrial and transportation as well as from increasing digitalization. We also expect demand for clean power to grow as renewables are the cheapest form of bulk electricity generation, on the increasing level of acceptance around climate change and the legislated requirements in some areas to diversify away from fossil fuel based generation.

In Brazil and Colombia, we also expect power prices will continue to be supported by the need to build new supply over the medium-to-long term to serve growing demand. In these markets, contracting for power is the only current mechanism to buy and sell power, and therefore we would expect to capture rising prices as we re-contract our power over the medium-term.

The following table sets out our power contracts over the next five years for generation output in North America, Brazil, Europe and certain other countries, assuming long-term average on a proportionate basis. The table excludes Brazil and Colombia hydroelectric portfolios, where we would expect the energy associated with maturing contracts to be re-contracted in the normal course given the construct of the respective power markets. In these countries we currently have a contracted profile of approximately 90% and 80%, respectively, of the long-term average and we would expect to maintain this going forward. Overall, our power portfolio has a weighted-average remaining contract duration of 13 years on a proportionate basis.

Weighted-average remaining contract durations on a proportionate basis are 14 years in North America, 14 years in Europe, 10 years in Brazil, 4 years in Colombia, and 15 years across our remaining jurisdictions.

In North America, over the next five years, a number of contracts will expire at our hydroelectric facilities. Based on current market prices for energy and ancillary products, we expect a net positive impact to cash flows.

In our Colombian portfolio, we continue to focus on securing long-term contracts while maintaining a certain percentage of uncontracted generation to mitigate hydrology risk.

The majority of Brookfield Renewable’s long-term power purchase agreements within our North American and European businesses are with investment-grade rated or creditworthy counterparties. The economic exposure of our contracted generation on a proportionate basis is distributed as follows: power authorities (35%), distribution companies (23%), commercial & industrial users (31%) and Brookfield (11%).

We operate with sufficient liquidity to enable us to fund growth initiatives, capital expenditures, distributions and withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances or short-term fluctuations in generation. We maintain a strong, investment grade balance sheet characterized by a conservative capital structure, access to multiple funding levers including a focus on capital recycling on an opportunistic basis, and diverse sources of capital. Principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, our credit facilities, up-financings on non-recourse borrowings and proceeds from the issuance of various securities through public markets.

We remain focused on refinancing near-term facilities on acceptable terms and maintaining a manageable maturity ladder. We do not anticipate material issues in refinancing our borrowings through 2028 on acceptable terms and will do so opportunistically based on the prevailing interest rate environment.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

We fund growth capital expenditures with cash flow generated from operations, supplemented by non-recourse debt sized to investment grade coverage and covenant thresholds. This is designed to ensure that our investments have stable capital structures supported by a substantial level of equity and that cash flows at the asset level can be remitted freely to our company. This strategy also underpins our investment grade profile.

To fund large scale development projects and acquisitions, we will evaluate a variety of capital sources including proceeds from selling mature businesses, in addition to raising money in the capital markets through equity, debt and preferred share issuances. Furthermore, we have $2.45 billion committed revolving credit facilities available for investments and acquisitions, as well as funding the equity component of organic growth initiatives. The facilities are intended, and have historically been used, as a bridge to a long-term financing strategy rather than a permanent source of capital.

PART 7 – CRITICAL ESTIMATES, ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS

CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, which require the use of estimates and judgments in reporting assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies. In the judgment of management, none of the estimates outlined in Note 1 – Basis of preparation and material accounting policy information in our audited consolidated financial statements are considered critical accounting estimates as defined in Canadian National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations with the exception of the estimates related to the valuation of property, plant and equipment, financial instruments, deferred income tax liabilities, decommissioning liabilities and impairment of goodwill. These assumptions include estimates of future electricity prices, discount rates, expected long-term average generation, inflation rates, terminal year, the amount and timing of operating and capital costs and the income tax rates of future income tax provisions. Estimates also include determination of accruals, provisions, purchase price allocations, useful lives, asset valuations, asset impairment testing and those relevant to the defined benefit pension and non-pension benefit plans. Estimates are based on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

In making estimates, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplemented by internal analysis, as required. These estimates have been applied in a manner consistent with that in the prior year and there are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that we believe will materially affect the methodology or assumptions utilized in this report. These estimates are impacted by, among other things, future power prices, movements in interest rates, foreign exchange volatility and other factors, some of which are highly uncertain, as described in the “Risk Factors” section. The interrelated nature of these factors prevents us from quantifying the overall impact of these movements on Brookfield Renewable’s financial statements in a meaningful way. These sources of estimation uncertainty relate in varying degrees to substantially all asset and liability account balances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

International Tax Reform - Amendments to IAS 12- Pillar Two model rules

Brookfield Renewable operates in countries, including Canada, which have enacted new legislation to implement the global minimum top-up tax, effective from January 1, 2024. Brookfield Renewable will recognize the top-up tax as a current tax as and when it is incurred but has applied a temporary mandatory relief from recognizing and disclosing deferred taxes in connection with the global minimum top-up tax. There is no material current tax impact for the period ended June 30, 2024. The global minimum top-up tax is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the financial position of Brookfield Renewable.

Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”)

The amendments clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments to IAS 1 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Brookfield Renewable noted no material impact.

FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)

In April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (IFRS 18). IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 is expected to improve the quality of financial reporting by requiring defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosure about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. Brookfield Renewable has not yet determined the impact of this standard on its disclosures.

There are currently no other future changes to IFRS with potential impact on Brookfield Renewable.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART 8 – PRESENTATION TO STAKEHOLDERS AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT

PRESENTATION TO PUBLIC STAKEHOLDERS

Equity

Brookfield Renewable’s consolidated equity interests include (i) non-voting publicly traded LP units, held by public unitholders and Brookfield, (ii) BEPC exchangeable shares, held by public shareholders and Brookfield, (iii) Redeemable/Exchangeable Limited partnership units in BRELP, a holding subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, held by Brookfield, and (iv) the GP interest in BRELP, held by Brookfield.

The LP units, the BEPC exchangeable shares and the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units have the same economic attributes in all respects, except that the BEPC exchangeable shares provide the holder, and the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units provide Brookfield, the right to request that all or a portion of such shares or units be redeemed for cash consideration. Brookfield Renewable, however, has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy any such redemption request with LP units, rather than cash, on a one-for-one basis. The public holders of BEPC exchangeable shares, and Brookfield, as holder of BEPC exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, participates in earnings and distributions on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of the LP units. Because Brookfield Renewable, at its sole discretion, has the right to settle any redemption request in respect of BEPC exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units with LP units, the BEPC exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units are classified under equity, and not as a liability.

Given the exchange feature referenced above, we are presenting LP units, BEPC exchangeable shares, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, and GP Interest as separate components of consolidated equity. This presentation does not impact the total income (loss), per unit or share information, or total consolidated equity.

Actual and Long-term Average Generation

For assets acquired, disposed or reached commercial operation during the year, reported generation is calculated from the acquisition, disposition or commercial operation date and is not annualized. Generation on a same store basis refers to the generation of assets that were owned during both periods presented. As it relates to Colombia only, generation includes both hydroelectric and cogeneration facilities. Distributed energy & sustainable solutions includes generation from our distributed generation, pumped storage, North America cogeneration and Brazil biomass assets.

North America hydroelectric long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation based on historical inflow data performed over a period of typically 30 years. Colombia hydroelectric long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation based on historical inflow data performed over a period of typically 20 years. For substantially all of our hydroelectric assets in Brazil the long-term average is based on the reference amount of electricity allocated to our facilities under the market framework which levelizes generation risk across producers. Wind long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of simulated historical wind speed data performed over a period of typically 10 years. Utility-scale solar long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation using historical irradiance levels in the locations of our projects from the last 14 to 20 years combined with actual generation data during the operational period.

We compare actual generation levels against the long-term average to highlight the impact of an important factor that affects the variability of our business results. In the short-term, we recognize that hydrology, wind and irradiance conditions will vary from one period to the next; over time however, we expect our facilities will continue to produce in line with their long-term averages, which have proven to be reliable indicators of performance.

Our risk of a generation shortfall in Brazil continues to be minimized by participation in the MRE administered by the government of Brazil. This program mitigates hydrology risk by assuring that all participants receive, at any particular point in time, an assured energy amount, irrespective of the actual volume of energy generated. The program reallocates energy, transferring surplus energy from those who generated an excess to those who generate less than their assured energy, up to the total generation within the pool. Periodically, low precipitation across the entire country’s system could result in a temporary reduction of generation available for sale. During these periods, we expect that a higher proportion of thermal generation would be needed to balance supply and demand in the country, potentially leading to higher overall spot market prices.


Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis	June 30, 2024
		Page 37

Generation from our pumped storage and cogeneration facilities in North America is highly dependent on market price conditions rather than the generating capacity of the facilities. Our pumped storage facility in Europe generates on a dispatchable basis when required by our contracts for ancillary services. Generation from our biomass facilities in Brazil is dependent on the amount of sugar cane harvested in a given year. For these reasons, we do not consider a long-term average for these facilities.

Voting Agreements with Affiliates

Brookfield Renewable has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby Brookfield Renewable gained control or have significant influence over the entities that own certain renewable power and sustainable solution investments. Brookfield Renewable has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of the Colombian business. The voting agreements provide Brookfield Renewable the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide Brookfield Renewable with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewable consolidates the accounts of these entities.

For entities previously controlled by Brookfield Corporation, the voting agreements entered into do not represent business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3, as all combining businesses are ultimately controlled by Brookfield Corporation both before and after the transactions were completed. Brookfield Renewable accounts for these transactions involving entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interest, which requires the presentation of pre-voting agreement financial information as if the transactions had always been in place. Refer to Note 1(s)(ii) – Critical judgments in applying accounting policies – Common control transactions in our December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements for our policy on accounting for transactions under common control.

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT

Segment Information

Our operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) utility-scale solar, 4) distributed energy and storage (distributed generation and pumped storage), 5) sustainable solutions (agricultural renewable natural gas, carbon capture and storage, recycling, cogeneration, biomass, nuclear services, and power transformation), and 6) corporate – with hydroelectric further segmented by geography (i.e., North America, Colombia, and Brazil).This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews results of our company.

The reporting to the CODM was revised during the fourth quarter of 2023 to disaggregate the distributed energy & sustainable solutions business into distributed energy & storage and sustainable solutions. This change is consistent with the development of Brookfield Renewable’s business as distributed generation and sustainable solutions continue to grow as a more significant component of the business. The financial information of operating segments in the prior period has been restated to present the corresponding results of the distributed energy & storage and sustainable solutions.

We report our results in accordance with these segments and present prior period segmented information in a consistent manner. See Note 5 – Segmented information in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

One of our primary business objectives is to generate stable and growing cash flows while minimizing risk for the benefit of all stakeholders. We monitor our performance in this regard through three key metrics – i) Net Income (Loss), ii) Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and iii) Funds From Operations.

It is important to highlight that Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and have limitations as analytical tools. We provide additional information below on how we determine Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations. We also provide reconciliations to Net income (loss). See “Part 4 – Financial Performance Review on Proportionate Information – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” and “Part 6 – Selected Quarterly Information – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures”.

Proportionate Information

Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources has been provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a Unitholder perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating


Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis	June 30, 2024
		Page 38

decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results that can be allocated to Unitholders.

Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, depreciation, current and deferred income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items (1) include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earnings from equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, and (2) exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items.

The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:

•The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and

•Other companies may calculate proportionate results differently than we do.

Because of these limitations, our proportionate financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under IFRS.

Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses do not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claims or exposures to such items.

Unless the context indicates or requires otherwise, information with respect to the megawatts ("MW") attributable to Brookfield Renewable’s facilities, including development assets, is presented on a consolidated basis, including with respect to facilities whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or jointly controls the applicable facility.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income (loss) is calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Net income (loss) is an important measure of profitability, in particular because it has a standardized meaning under IFRS. The presentation of net income (loss) on an IFRS basis for our business will often lead to the recognition of a loss even though the underlying cash flows generated by the assets are supported by strong margins and stable, long-term power purchase agreements. The primary reason for this is that accounting rules require us to recognize a significantly higher level of depreciation for our assets than we are required to reinvest in the business as sustaining capital expenditures.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze the operating performance of companies.

Brookfield Renewable uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of its operations before the effects of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, management service costs, non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash income or loss from equity-accounted investments, distributions to preferred shareholders, preferred limited partnership unit holders, perpetual subordinated noteholders and other typical non-recurring items, and including investment tax credits not allocated to tax equity partners. Brookfield Renewable adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by management for evaluating operating performance. Brookfield Renewable includes realized disposition gains and losses on assets that we developed and/or did not intend to hold over the long-term within Adjusted EBITDA in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in the current period.

Brookfield Renewable believes that presentation of this measure will enhance an investor’s ability to evaluate its financial and operating performance on an allocable basis.


Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis	June 30, 2024
		Page 39

Funds From Operations

Funds From Operations is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze net earnings from operations without the effects of certain volatile items that generally have no current financial impact or items not directly related to the performance of Brookfield Renewable.

Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of Brookfield Renewable before the effects of certain cash items (e.g. acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g. deferred income taxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business and including investment tax credits not allocated to tax equity partners. Brookfield Renewable includes realized disposition gains and losses on assets that we developed and/or did not intend to hold over the long-term in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in the current period. In the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Brookfield Renewable, the revaluation approach is used in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, whereby depreciation is determined based on a revalued amount, thereby reducing comparability with peers who do not report under IFRS as issued by the IASB or who do not employ the revaluation approach to measuring property, plant and equipment. Management adds back deferred income taxes on the basis that they do not believe this item reflects the present value of the actual tax obligations that they expect Brookfield Renewable to incur over the long-term investment horizon of Brookfield Renewable.

Brookfield Renewable believes that analysis and presentation of Funds From Operations on this basis will enhance an investor’s understanding of the performance of Brookfield Renewable. Funds From Operations is not a substitute measure of performance for earnings per share and does not represent amounts available for distribution.

Funds From Operations is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Funds From Operations used by other entities, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALPAC”) and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). Furthermore, this measure is not used by the CODM to assess Brookfield Renewable’s liquidity.

Proportionate Debt

Proportionate debt is presented based on the proportionate share of borrowings obligations relating to the investments of Brookfield Renewable in various portfolio businesses. The proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Proportionate debt measures are provided because management believes it assists investors and analysts in estimating the overall performance and understanding the leverage pertaining specifically to Brookfield Renewable's share of its invested capital in a given investment. When used in conjunction with Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA, proportionate debt is expected to provide useful information as to how Brookfield Renewable has financed its businesses at the asset-level. Management believes that the proportionate presentation, when read in conjunction with Brookfield Renewable’s reported results under IFRS, including consolidated debt, provides a more meaningful assessment of how the operations of Brookfield Renewable are performing and capital is being managed. The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:

•Proportionate debt amounts do not represent the consolidated obligation for debt underlying a consolidated investment. If an individual project does not generate sufficient cash flows to service the entire amount of its debt payments, management may determine, in their discretion, to pay the shortfall through an equity injection to avoid defaulting on the obligation. Such a shortfall may not be apparent from or may not equal the difference between aggregate Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA for all of the portfolio investments of Brookfield Renewable and aggregate proportionate debt for all of the portfolio investments of Brookfield Renewable; and

•Other companies may calculate proportionate debt differently.

Because of these limitations, the proportionate financial information of Brookfield Renewable should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial statements of Brookfield Renewable as reported under IFRS.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING USE OF NON-IFRS MEASURES

This report contains references to Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit which are not generally accepted accounting measures standardized under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit used by other entities. In particular, our definition of Funds From Operations may differ from the definition of funds from operations used by other organizations, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”), in part because the NAREIT definition is based on U.S. GAAP, as opposed to IFRS. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit are useful supplemental measures that may assist investors in assessing our financial performance. None of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations or Funds From Operations per Unit should be considered as the sole measure of our performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS measures reflect how we manage our business and, in our opinion, enable the reader to better understand our business.

Reconciliations of each of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit to net income (loss) are presented in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis. We have also provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations to net income in Note 5 – Segmented information in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
