NOTE 2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

(a)Basis of presentation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the partnership have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and using the accounting policies the partnership applied in its annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the adoption of the new accounting policies and standards described below. The accounting policies the partnership applied in its annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023 are disclosed in Note 2 of such consolidated financial statements, with which reference should be made in reading these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. All defined terms are also described in the annual consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and have been presented in U.S. dollars rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise indicated.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the partnership’s general partner, Brookfield Business Partners Limited (the “General Partner”), on behalf of the partnership, and authorized for issue on November 12, 2024.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

As at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and

for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and2023

(b)     Critical accounting judgments and measurement uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires management to make critical judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period of the financial statements that are not readily apparent from other sources. The critical accounting estimates and judgments have been set out in Note 2 to the partnership’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. There have been no significant changes to the method of determining critical accounting estimates and judgments relative to those described in the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

(i)     Impact of tax legislation

(i)(a)    Global minimum top-up tax

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

(i)(b)    Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted in the United States, providing multiple incentives for domestic energy production and manufacturing. In December 2023, the United States Department of the Treasury issued proposed regulations, which were subsequently finalized in October 2024, that provided guidance in determining eligibility to claim Advanced Manufacturing Production Credits under the IRA (“IRA Credits”). The IRA Credits are available for qualifying activities from 2023 to 2032, subject to phase out beginning in 2030.

The partnership’s advanced energy storage operation is entitled to claim IRA Credits over the availability period as determined under the IRA. For qualified business activities for the period between October 1, 2022 and September 30, 2023, the IRA Credit is a carryforward to offset future taxes and accounted for under IAS 12, Income Taxes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the partnership recorded $433 million and $610 million, respectively, as deferred tax recovery in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results and related deferred tax assets in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

For qualified business activities in the partnership’s advanced energy storage operation beginning in its fiscal year 2024 subsequent to October 1, 2023, IRA Credits are eligible to be refundable or transferable, and therefore the benefits are accounted for in accordance with IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance (“IAS 20”).

IAS 20 permits a policy choice to record benefits of a similar nature as income or an offset to a related expense. The partnership has elected to record these benefits as a reduction to direct operating costs in its unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results, with a corresponding receivable in accounts and other receivable, net in its unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the partnership recorded a cumulative benefit of $1,069 million.

(c)New accounting policies adopted

The partnership has applied new and revised standards issued by the IASB that are effective for the period beginning on or after January 1, 2024.

(i)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 partnership adopted these amendments on January 1, 2024 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the partnership’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

As at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and

for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and2023

(d)Future changes in accounting policies

There are currently no other future changes to IFRS with expected material impacts on the partnership.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITION OF BUSINESSES

When determining the basis of accounting for the partnership’s investees, the partnership evaluates the degree of influence that the partnership exerts directly or through an arrangement over the investees’ relevant activities. Control is obtained when the partnership has power over the acquired entities and an ability to use its power to affect the returns of these entities.

The partnership accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, pursuant to which identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities are recognized and measured on the basis of their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

(a)Acquisitions completed in the nine months ended September 30, 2024

There were no significant acquisitions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

(b)Acquisitions completed in 2023

Infrastructure services

Mobile Mini Solutions (“Mobile Mini”)

On January 31, 2023, the partnership’s modular building leasing services acquired a 100% economic interest in Mobile Mini, a provider of portable storage solutions in the United Kingdom for total consideration of $419 million, funded with debt and equity. The partnership received 100% of the voting rights in Mobile Mini, which provided the partnership with control, and accordingly, the partnership has consolidated the business for financial reporting purposes.

Goodwill of $176 million was recognized and represents growth the partnership expects to experience from the operations. The goodwill recognized was not deductible for income tax purposes. Customer relationship intangible assets of $58 million, property, plant and equipment of $236 million and other net liabilities of $51 million were acquired as part of the transaction. Transaction costs of approximately $10 million were recorded as other expenses in the 2023 consolidated statements of operating results.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair values are determined by reference to quoted bid or ask prices, as appropriate. Where bid and ask prices are unavailable, the closing price of the most recent transaction of that instrument is used. In the absence of an active market, fair values are determined based on prevailing market rates such as bid and ask prices, as appropriate, for instruments with similar characteristics and risk profiles or internal or external valuation models, such as option pricing models and discounted cash flow analysis, using observable market inputs when available.

Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. In determining those assumptions, the partnership looks primarily to external readily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves, currency rates and price and rate volatility, as applicable.

NOTE 8. DISPOSITIONS

(a)Dispositions completed in the nine months ended September 30, 2024

Business services

Road fuels operation

During the quarter, the partnership completed the sale of its road fuels operation for total consideration of $250 million resulting in a pre-tax net gain of $483 million recorded in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results, included in gain (loss) on acquisitions/dispositions, net.

Payments processing services operation

On September 17, 2024, the partnership, along with institutions investors, completed the acquisition of Network International Holdings Plc ("Network"), a digital payment processor in the Middle East and Africa. Following the acquisition, the partnership combined the business with its existing payment processing services operation. The partnership invested an incremental $156 million of equity for an 11% economic interest in the combined business. As a result of the combination, the partnership deconsolidated the net assets of its payment processing services operation and recorded a pre-tax net gain of $110 million in gain (loss) on acquisitions/dispositions, net in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results. The gain on deconsolidation was calculated based on the fair value of the retained interest in the business, extinguishment of a contingent consideration liability, net of the derecognition of net assets and non-controlling interests, and net of closing costs. The partnership accounts for its interest in the combined business as an equity accounted investment.

Real estate services operation

On March 31, 2024, the partnership completed the sale of its general partner interest and residential real estate brokerage portfolio to Bridgemarq, a publicly listed real estate services operation and brokerage business in which the partnership has an equity accounted investment. As consideration, the partnership received limited partnership units in the Bridgemarq public entity, increasing the partnership’s ownership interest from 28% to approximately 42%. This resulted in a pre-tax gain of $15 million recorded in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results, included in gain (loss) on acquisitions/dispositions, net.

NOTE 16. BORROWINGS

(a)Corporate borrowings

The partnership has bilateral credit facilities backed by large global banks. The credit facilities are available in Euros, British pounds, Australian dollars, U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars. Advances under the credit facilities bear interest at the specified SOFR, SONIA, EURIBOR, CORRA, BBSY or bankers’ acceptance rate plus 2.50%, or the specified base rate or prime rate plus 1.50%. The credit facilities require the partnership to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and deconsolidated debt to capitalization ratio at the corporate level. The total capacity on the bilateral credit facilities is $2,350 million with a maturity date of June 29, 2029. The balance drawn on the bilateral credit facility, net of deferred financing costs, was $1,978 million as at September 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: $1,440 million).

The partnership had $1 billion available on its revolving credit facility with Brookfield (the “Brookfield Credit Agreement”) as at September 30, 2024. The credit facility is guaranteed by the partnership, the Holding LP and certain of the partnership’s subsidiaries. The credit facility is available in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars and advances are made by way of SOFR, base rate, bankers’ acceptance rate or prime rate loans. The credit facility bears interest at the specified SOFR or bankers’ acceptance rate plus 3.45%, or the specified base rate or prime rate plus 2.45%. The credit facility requires the partnership to maintain a minimum deconsolidated net worth and contains restrictions on the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to, among other things, incur certain liens or enter into speculative hedging arrangements. Net proceeds above a specified threshold that are received by the borrowers from asset dispositions, debt incurrences or equity issuances by the borrowers or their subsidiaries must be used to pay down the credit facility (which can then be redrawn to fund future investments). The maturity date of the credit facility is April 27, 2028, which date will automatically extend for a one-year period on April 27 of each year unless Brookfield provides written notice of its intention not to further extend the then prevailing maturity date. The total available amount on the credit facility will decrease to $500 million on April 27, 2025. As at September 30, 2024, the credit facility remained undrawn.

The partnership is currently in compliance with covenant requirements of its corporate borrowings and continues to monitor performance against such covenant requirements.

As at September 30, 2024, there were no funds on deposit from Brookfield (December 31, 2023: $nil). Refer to Note 17 for further details on the Deposit Agreements (defined herein) with Brookfield.

(b)Non-recourse subsidiary borrowings of the partnership

Current and non-current non-recourse subsidiary borrowings in subsidiaries of the partnership as at September 30, 2024, net of deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts, were $2,096 million and $37,475 million, respectively (December 31, 2023: $2,757 million and $38,052 million, respectively). Non-recourse borrowings in subsidiaries of the partnership include borrowings made under subscription facilities of Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds.

Some of the partnership’s operations have credit facilities in which they borrow and repay on a short-term basis. This movement has been shown on a net basis in the partnership’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flow.

The partnership has financing arrangements within its operating businesses that trade in public markets or are held at major financial institutions. The financing arrangements are primarily composed of term loans, securitization programs, credit facilities and notes and debentures which are subject to fixed or floating interest rates. The majority of borrowings drawn are not subject to financial maintenance covenants, however, some are subject to fixed charge coverage, leverage ratios and minimum equity or liquidity covenants.

The partnership principally finances assets at the subsidiary level with debt that is non-recourse to both the partnership and to its other subsidiaries and is generally secured against assets within the respective subsidiaries. Moreover, debt instruments at the partnership’s subsidiaries do not cross-accelerate or cross-default to debt at other subsidiaries. The partnership’s subsidiaries are currently in compliance with all material covenant requirements and the partnership continues to work with its businesses to monitor performance against such covenant requirements.

NOTE 17. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the normal course of operations, the partnership entered into the transactions below with related parties. These transactions have been measured at fair value and are recognized in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

(a)Transactions with Brookfield

The partnership is a party to the Brookfield Credit Agreement, which permits borrowings of up to $1 billion. As at September 30, 2024, $nil was drawn on the credit facilities under the Brookfield Credit Agreement (December 31, 2023: $nil). Refer to Note 16 for further details.

From time to time, each of Brookfield and the partnership may place funds on deposit with the other, on terms approved by the independent directors of the partnership’s General Partner, pursuant to deposit agreements entered into between Brookfield and the partnership (the “Deposit Agreements”). Interest earned or incurred on such deposits is at market terms. As at September 30, 2024, the net deposit from Brookfield was $nil (December 31, 2023: $nil) and the partnership incurred interest income (expense) of $nil for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 (September 30, 2023: $nil) on these deposits.

Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement (“Master Services Agreement”), Brookfield Business Partners L.P. and other service recipients (the “Service Recipients” as defined in the Master Services Agreement) pay a base management fee, referred to as the Base Management Fee, to certain service providers (the “Service Providers” as defined in the Master Services Agreement) equal to 0.3125% per quarter (1.25% annually) of the total capitalization of the partnership, which is reflected within general and administrative expenses. For purposes of calculating the base management fee, the total capitalization of the partnership is equal to the quarterly volume-weighted average trading price of an LP Unit on the principal stock exchange for the LP Units (based on trading volumes) multiplied by the number of LP Units outstanding at the end of the quarter (assuming full conversion of the Redemption-Exchange Units into LP Units of Brookfield Business Partners L.P.), plus the value of securities of the other Service Recipients (including the BBUC exchangeable shares) that are not held by the partnership, plus all outstanding debt with recourse to a Service Recipient, less all cash held by such entities. The base management fee for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $23 million and $67 million, respectively (September 30, 2023: $23 million and $69 million, respectively).

In its capacity as the holder of the Special LP Units, Brookfield is entitled to incentive distribution rights. The incentive distribution for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $nil (September 30, 2023: $nil).

An integral part of the partnership’s strategy is to participate with institutional investors in Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds that target acquisitions that suit the partnership’s investment mandate. In the normal course of business, the partnership and institutional investors have made commitments to Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds, and in connection therewith, the partnership, together with institutional investors, has access to short-term financing using the private equity funds’ credit facilities to facilitate investments that Brookfield has determined to be in the partnership’s best interests.

In addition, at the time of spin-off of the partnership from Brookfield in 2016, the partnership entered into indemnity agreements with Brookfield that relate to certain contracts that were in place prior to the spin-off. Under these indemnity agreements, Brookfield has agreed to indemnify the partnership for payments relating to such contracts.

As at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and

for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and2023

The Redemption-Exchange Units may, at the request of Brookfield, be redeemed in whole or in part, for cash in an amount equal to the market value of one of the partnership’s LP Units multiplied by the number of units to be redeemed (subject to certain customary adjustments). This right is subject to the partnership’s right, at its sole discretion, to elect to acquire any unit presented for redemption in exchange for one of the partnership’s LP Units (subject to certain customary adjustments). If the partnership elects not to exchange the Redemption-Exchange Units for LP Units, the Redemption-Exchange Units are required to be redeemed for cash. The Redemption-Exchange Units are presented as non-controlling interests since they relate to equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to Brookfield Business Partners L.P. Since this redemption right is subject to the partnership’s right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the redemption request with LP Units of Brookfield Business Partners L.P. on a one-for-one basis, the Redemption-Exchange Units are classified as equity instruments in accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation (“IAS 32”).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 3 Managing General Partner Units (September 30, 2023: 673) were issued to the partnership in connection with the exchange of 3 BBUC exchangeable shares into LP Units (September 30, 2023: 673).

As at September 30, 2024, Brookfield Holders owned approximately 65% of the issued and outstanding BBUC exchangeable shares. The Brookfield Holders have agreed that all decisions to be made with respect to the BBUC exchangeable shares will be made jointly among the Brookfield Holders.

Issued as at September 30, 2024	4

The weighted average number of special limited partner units outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 4 (September 30, 2023: 4).

In its capacity as the holder of the Special LP Units, the special limited partner is entitled to incentive distributions which are calculated as 20% of the increase in the market value of the LP Units on a fully exchanged basis (assuming the exchange of all of the Redemption-Exchange Units and BBUC exchangeable shares) over an initial threshold based on the volume-weighted average price of the LP Units, subject to a high-water mark.

NOTE 23. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The partnership’s operations are organized into four operating segments which are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of allocating resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The CODM uses adjusted earnings from operations (“Adjusted EFO”) to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. Adjusted EFO allows the CODM to evaluate the partnership’s segments on the basis of return on invested capital generated by its operations and to evaluate the performance of its segments on a levered basis. Adjusted EFO is calculated as net income and equity accounted income at the partnership’s economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investments, respectively, excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization expense, deferred income taxes, transaction costs, restructuring charges, unrealized revaluation gains or losses, impairment expenses or reversals and other income or expense items that are not directly related to revenue generating activities. The partnership’s economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests consistent with how the partnership determines net income attributable to non-controlling interests in its unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results. In order to provide additional insight regarding the partnership’s operating performance over the lifecycle of an investment, Adjusted EFO includes the impact of preferred equity distributions and realized disposition gains or losses recorded in net income, other comprehensive income, or directly in equity, such as ownership changes. Adjusted EFO does not include legal and other provisions that may occur from time to time in the partnership’s operations and that are one-time or non-recurring and not directly tied to the partnership’s operations, such as those for litigation or contingencies. Adjusted EFO includes expected credit losses and bad debt allowances recorded in the normal course of the partnership’s operations.

Other income (expense), net in the partnership’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results includes amounts that are not related to revenue generating activities, and are not normal, recurring operating income and expenses necessary for business operations. These include revaluation gains and losses, transaction costs, restructuring charges, stand-up costs and business separation expenses, gains or losses on debt extinguishments or modifications, gains or losses on dispositions of property, plant and equipment, non-recurring and one-time provisions that may occur from time to time at one of the partnership’s operations that are not reflective of normal operations, and other items. Other income (expense), net included within Adjusted EFO in the tables below corresponds to items of other income (expense), net at the partnership’s economic ownership interest that are considered by the partnership when evaluating operating performance and returns on invested capital generated by its businesses and may include realized revaluation gains and losses, realized gains or losses on the disposition of property, plant and equipment, and other items. Refer to the footnotes to the tables below for additional details on items included therein.

Gain (loss) on acquisitions/dispositions, net in Adjusted EFO reflects the partnership’s economic ownership interest in the gains or losses on acquisitions/dispositions recognized during the period in unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results that are considered by the partnership when evaluating the performance and returns on invested capital generated by its businesses.

Gain (loss) on acquisitions/dispositions, net recorded in equity in Adjusted EFO corresponds to the partnership’s economic ownership interest in gains and losses recorded in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity that have been realized through a completed disposition, including material realized disposition gains or losses that may be recorded in equity on the partial disposition of a subsidiary where the partnership retains control and through the sale of an investment in securities accounted for as financial assets measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income.

The following tables provide each segment’s results at the partnership’s economic ownership interest, in the format that the CODM organizes reporting segments to make resource allocation decisions and assess performance. Amounts attributable to non-controlling interests are calculated based on the economic ownership interests held by non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries. The tables below reconcile the partnership’s economic ownership interest in its consolidated results to the partnership’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results.

Business services

Our business services segment includes our (i) residential mortgage insurer, (ii) dealer software and technology services operation, (iii) healthcare services, (iv) construction operation, (v) non-bank financial services operation, (vi) fleet management and car rental services, (vii) payment processing services operation, (viii) entertainment operation and (ix) other operations.

Residential mortgage insurer

Our residential mortgage insurer is the largest private sector residential mortgage insurer in Canada, providing mortgage default insurance to Canadian residential mortgage lenders. Regulations in Canada require lenders to purchase mortgage insurance in respect of a residential mortgage loan whenever the loan-to-value ratio exceeds 80%. Our residential mortgage insurer plays a significant role in increasing access to homeownership for Canadian residents, particularly for first-time homebuyers.

Our residential mortgage insurer has built a broad underwriting and distribution platform across Canada that provides customer-focused products and support services to the vast majority of Canada’s residential mortgage lenders and originators. We underwrite mortgage insurance for residential properties in all provinces and territories of Canada.

The revenues of our residential mortgage insurer consist primarily of: (i) insurance revenues earned on mortgage insurance contracts and (ii) net investment income and gains/losses on the investment portfolio within the business.

Dealer software and technology services operation

Our dealer software and technology services operation is a leading provider of cloud-based software to dealerships and OEMs across automotive and related industries. The company’s cloud-based software as a service (“SaaS”) platform enables dealerships to manage their end-to-end business operations, including the acquisition, sale, financing, insuring, and repair and maintenance of vehicles. By automating and streamlining critical workflows, the integrated platform of solutions enables dealers to sell and service more vehicles by creating simple and convenient experiences for customers to help improve their financial and operational performance.

5

The revenues at our dealer software and technology services operation are generated by providing a broad suite of subscription-based software and technology solutions for automotive retailers. We are focused on the use of SaaS and mobile-centric solutions that are highly functional, flexible and fast. Our flagship dealer management system (“DMS”) software solutions are hosted enterprise resource planning applications tailored to the unique requirements of the retail automotive industry. Our DMS products facilitate the sale of new and used vehicles, consumer financing, repair and maintenance services, and vehicle and parts inventory management. These solutions enable company-wide accounting, financial reporting, cash flow management, and payroll services. Our DMS software is typically integrated with OEM data processing systems that enable automotive retailers to order vehicles and parts, receive vehicle records, process warranties, and check recall campaigns and service bulletins while helping them to fulfill their franchisee responsibilities to their OEM franchisors.

In June 2024, our dealer software and technology services operation detected and promptly responded to unauthorized cyber activity on its network. Upon discovery, our dealer software and technology services operation shut down its systems to address and investigate the issue while notifying law enforcement. This cybersecurity incident, and the subsequent system shut down, caused disruption to the business. In addition, the business incurred certain expenses to respond to, investigate and remediate the matter, including one-time billing credits that were provided to customers. Our dealer software and technology services operation has successfully brought all active customers back onto its dealer management system and other applications. We do not expect that this cybersecurity incident will have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the partnership. For further information, refer to pages 21 and 22 of the “Risk Factors” section in our 2023 Annual Report.

Healthcare services

Our healthcare services in Australia is a leading private hospital operator and provider of essential social infrastructure to the Australian healthcare system. We operate 38 hospitals, providing doctors and patients with access to operating theaters, nursing staff, accommodations, and other critical care and consumables primarily in support of elective surgery activity.

The majority of our healthcare services’ revenues are generated from private health insurance funds and government-related bodies under Hospital Purchaser-Provider Agreements. These revenues are generally based on a pricing schedule set out in the agreements and are either on a case payment or per diem basis, depending on the type of service provided.

Construction operation

Our construction operation is a global contractor with a focus on high-quality construction, primarily on large-scale and complex landmark buildings and social infrastructure. Construction projects are generally delivered through contracts for the design and construction, including procurement for a defined price and program. The business also engages in construction management contracts on a reduced risk model. Most construction activity is typically subcontracted to reputable specialists whose obligations generally align with those contained within the main construction contract. Our construction operation primarily operates in Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada across a broad range of sectors, including office, residential, hospitality and leisure, social infrastructure, retail and mixed-use properties.

We recognize revenues when it is highly probable that economic benefits will flow to the business, and when it can be reliably measured and collection is assured. Revenues are recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied, by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting date, measured as the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs. A large portion of construction revenues and costs are earned and incurred in Australia and the United Kingdom and may be impacted by fluctuations in the Australian dollar and British pound. A significant portion of our revenues are generated from large projects, and the results from our construction operation can fluctuate quarterly and annually, depending on the level of work during a period. Our business is impacted by the general economic conditions and economic growth of the particular region in which we provide construction services.

Fleet management and car rental services

Our fleet management and car rental services operation is one of the leading providers of heavy equipment and light vehicle leasing and car rental services in Brazil. Our fleet management services lease a variety of assets to corporate clients under medium-term contracts linked to inflation, including a fleet of trucks, trailers, tractors, harvesters and light vehicles, in addition to related services. We have been able to sustain high contract renewal rates with high-quality clients as well as diversify into new asset and industry classes. Our car rental services benefit from a nationwide presence with access to a wide network of accredited maintenance shops, longstanding relationships with OEMs and a reputation for value added services. Our combined fleet management and car rental services maintain a fleet of more than 116,000 vehicles.

Non-bank financial services

Our Indian non-bank financial services operation is a financing company primarily focused on commercial vehicle lending. We cater to over 163,000 customers and generally help them buy their first home and secure commercial vehicle financing. With a pan-India distribution network of more than 567 branches, our Indian non-bank financial services operation is well established to cater to the growing credit demand in the country. As described below under “Developments in Our Business”, our Indian non-bank financial services operation recently agreed to sell its non-core home finance lending operation.

Our Australian asset manager and lender provides credit and investment solutions to over 28,000 borrowers and over 100,000 investors. The business plays an important role in providing fixed-income investment solutions to Australians approaching retirement, as well as providing secured credit to underserved customer segments that require specialized underwriting, such as small-medium sized business owners and recent immigrants.

Payment processing services operation

Our payment processing services operation is a leading provider of payment solutions in the United Arab Emirates. The business provides government, merchant and institutional clients with a payment platform for acquiring, issuing and processing customer transactions.

On September 17, 2024, together with institutional partners, we completed the acquisition of Network International Holdings Plc (“Network”) for a total consideration of $2.7 billion funded with debt and equity, of which our share was approximately $156 million of equity. Network is a leading enabler of digital commerce across the Middle East and Africa, providing a full suite of technology-enabled payment processing services to merchants and financial institutions.

On September 20, 2024, following the acquisition, we combined the business with our existing payment processing services operation in exchange for approximately 11% ownership interest in the combined business. As a result, we deconsolidated our investment in our payment processing services operation and now account for our ownership interest in the combined business as an equity accounted investment.

Entertainment operation

Our entertainment operation, in partnership with a leading Canadian gaming operator, consists of four entertainment facilities in the Greater Toronto Area. Through a long-term contract with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, we have the exclusive right to operate these facilities. Through our partnership, we have undertaken a growth strategy whereby we have been enhancing the guest experience and transforming our facilities into attractive, premier entertainment destinations. This modernization and development is intended to include enhanced entertainment offerings and integrated property expansions that will incorporate leading world-class amenities such as hotels, meeting and event facilities, performance venues, restaurants and retail shopping. We have joint control over the business and have accounted for our investment as an equity accounted investment.

We also provide valuations and related analytic services to financial institutions in Canada through which we process in excess of 190,000 appraisals and valuations per year.

On March 31, 2024, we completed the sale of our general partner interest and residential real estate brokerage portfolio to Bridgemarq, a publicly listed real estate services operation and brokerage business in which we have an equity accounted investment. As consideration, we received limited partnership units in the Bridgemarq public entity which increased our ownership interest in Bridgemarq from 28% to approximately 42%, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $15 million.

Our infrastructure services segment includes our (i) offshore oil services, (ii) lottery services operation, (iii) modular building leasing services and (iv) work access services.

Offshore oil services

Our offshore oil services is a global provider of marine transportation, offshore oil production, facility storage, and offshore installation, maintenance and safety services to the offshore oil production industry.

We operate in selected oil regions globally, including the North Sea (Norway and the United Kingdom), Brazil and Canada.

As a fee-based business focused on critical services, our offshore oil services has limited direct commodity exposure and a portfolio which primarily comprises medium-term, fixed-rate contracts with high-quality, primarily investment grade counterparties. A substantial part of our revenues are based on contracts with customers and is fee-based which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts.

On February 29, 2024, our offshore oil services completed the sale of its non-core towage business. The proceeds realized from the sale were equal to the carrying value of the business disposed, resulting in no gain or loss.

Lottery services operation

Our lottery services operation is a leading provider of products, services and technology across the lottery ecosystem in over 50 countries.

A substantial portion of our services are recurring and based on the ongoing maintenance requirements of our global customers. Since acquisition, our work access services has been focused on both organic growth, as well as growth through acquisitions. The business is executing on an active acquisition pipeline and acquired eight businesses, including a multi-craft services provider, a German scaffolding services provider, residential and commercial work access providers, a specialty industrial coating contractor, a cathodic protection provider, an insulation services provider, and a commercial scaffolding provider.

8

Industrials

Our industrials segment includes our (i) advanced energy storage operation, (ii) engineered components manufacturing operation, (iii) water and wastewater operation and (iv) other industrials operations.

Advanced energy storage operation

Our advanced energy storage operation is a global market leader in manufacturing automotive batteries that has over 17,000 employees around the world with a footprint that consists of over 50 manufacturing, recycling and distribution centers servicing a global customer base in over 100 countries. We manufacture and distribute over 150 million batteries per year, which power one in three cars in the world.

The batteries manufactured by our advanced energy storage operation power both internal combustion engines and electric vehicles. We sell starting, lighting and ignition batteries which are used primarily for initial engine ignition of traditional vehicles. The business has made significant investments to develop higher margin advanced battery technologies, including enhanced flooded batteries and absorbent glass mat batteries, which provide the energy density necessary for next-generation vehicles to comply with increased regulatory requirements and support increased electrical loads such as start-stop functionality and autonomous features.

Our advanced energy storage operation distributes products primarily to aftermarket retailers and to OEMs. Approximately 80% of the sales volume is generated through the aftermarket channel, which services the existing car parc and represents a stable and recurring revenue base as end users replace car batteries on average two to four times over the life of each vehicle. The remaining 20% of our sales volume is generated through the OEM channel, which comprises sales to major car manufacturers globally and is driven by global demand for new vehicles. We have also developed longstanding relationships with large aftermarket customers.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted in the United States, providing multiple incentives for domestic energy production and manufacturing. In December 2023, the United States Department of the Treasury issued proposed regulations, which were subsequently finalized in October 2024, that provided guidance in determining eligibility to claim Advanced Manufacturing Production Credits under the IRA (“IRA Credits”). The IRA Credits are available for qualifying activities from 2023 to 2032, subject to phase out beginning in 2030.

Our advanced energy storage operation is entitled to claim IRA Credits over the availability period as determined under the IRA. For qualified business activities for the period between October 1, 2022 and September 30, 2023, the IRA Credit is a carryforward to offset future taxes and accounted for under IAS 12, Income Taxes (“IAS 12”). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the partnership recorded $433 million and $610 million, respectively, as deferred tax recovery in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results and related deferred tax assets in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

For qualified business activities in our advanced energy storage operation beginning in its fiscal year 2024 subsequent to October 1, 2023, IRA Credits are eligible to be refundable or transferable, and therefore the benefits are accounted for in accordance with IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance (“IAS 20”).

IAS 20 permits a policy choice to record benefits of a similar nature as income or an offset to a related expense. The partnership has elected to record these benefits as a reduction to direct operating costs in its unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results, with a corresponding receivable in accounts and other receivable, net in its unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the partnership recorded a cumulative benefit of $1,069 million.

Engineered components manufacturing operation

Our engineered components manufacturing operation is a leading global manufacturer of highly engineered components primarily for industrial trailers and other towable-equipment providers.

Our properties are characterized by long-life, low-decline reserves located at shallow depths and are low-risk with low-cost capital projects. Operational results and financial condition are dependent principally upon the prices received for gas production which have fluctuated widely in recent years. Any upward or downward movement in natural gas prices could have an impact on the natural gas operations’ financial condition.

With its 30 quarries, the company produces and supplies premium slate roofing tiles globally to support the non-discretionary renovation of residential and heritage buildings in markets with strict local regulations that mandate the use of slate for roofing.

We are focused on owning and operating high-quality operations that benefit from a strong competitive position and provide essential products and services. We seek to build value through enhancing the cash flows of our businesses, pursuing an operations-oriented acquisition strategy and opportunistically recycling capital generated from operations and dispositions into our existing operations, new acquisitions and investments. The partnership’s goal is to generate returns to Unitholders primarily through capital appreciation with a modest distribution yield.

Recent Developments in Our Business

Below are key developments in our business since June 30, 2024:

During the quarter, we completed the previously announced sale of our road fuels operation, following the receipt of outstanding regulatory approvals, for total consideration of $250 million resulting in a pre-tax net gain of $483 million.

On September 17, 2024, together with institutional partners, we completed the acquisition of Network, a leading payment processor in the Middle East and Africa for total consideration of $2.7 billion funded with debt and equity, of which our share was approximately $156 million of equity. Following the acquisition, we combined the business with our existing payment processing services operation in exchange for an ownership interest of approximately 11% in the combined business. We have deconsolidated our investment in our existing payment processing services operation and are now accounting for the combined business as an equity accounted investment.

On September 19, 2024, our Indian non-bank financial services operation reached an agreement to sell its non-core home finance lending operation at an approximate 3x multiple of book value. The business expects to generate approximately $200 million of proceeds, which will be used to accelerate growth of the core commercial vehicle lending operations. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval.

On November 5, 2024, our offshore oil services operation reached an agreement to sell its shuttle tanker segment for total consideration of approximately $1.9 billion. Proceeds from the sale of our interest is expected to be approximately $265 million after the repayment of debt. The sale is expected to close in the first half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval. We continue to execute plans to realize additional proceeds from the sale of other business units.

Outlook

We seek to increase the cash flows from our operations through acquisitions and organic growth opportunities as described below. We believe our global scale and leading operations allow us to efficiently allocate capital around the world toward those sectors and geographies where we see the greatest opportunities to realize our targeted returns. We also actively seek to monetize business interests as they mature and reinvest the proceeds into higher yielding investment strategies, further enhancing returns. Operationally, we believe performance in our operations remain resilient and global inflationary pressures are starting to ease.

Business services

Performance at our dealer software and technology services operation recovered in the quarter and the business signed multi-year extension agreements with two of its largest North American publicly traded automotive dealership customers. Annual recurring revenue increased compared to prior year as the business continues to focus on retention initiatives and optimizing customer service levels. The business is also accelerating modernization and technology upgrade activities to further improve the user experience, strengthen security protocols and enhance the customer value proposition, which should contribute to results.

Our residential mortgage insurer continues to perform well in the context of the broader Canadian housing market. Despite affordability challenges due to the impact of higher mortgage rates, housing fundamentals across most markets in Canada remain largely balanced. Home prices have stabilized and further expected rate cuts by the Bank of Canada are supporting consensus estimates for low-single digit increases in home prices next year. Mortgage delinquencies have increased as expected compared to prior year but remain low relative to historical levels which is contributing to low levels of losses on claims in the business.

Infrastructure services

Our lottery services operation has a strong pipeline of new commercial opportunities which has continued to strengthen with bidding activity at peak levels. With its industry leading capabilities and long-term relationships with global lottery operators, we believe the business is well positioned. The business continues to focus on scaling its digital lottery capabilities and is working on initiatives focused on cost reduction actions, sourcing optimization and manufacturing rationalization.

Performance in our modular building leasing services continues to benefit from value added products and services and ongoing initiatives to enhance operational efficiency. Utilization of units has been impacted by a broader slowdown in Germany and in the United Kingdom, where we are continuing to execute on plans to integrate recent acquisitions and improve performance. Broader transformation initiatives focused on process optimization and capturing growth opportunities in more resilient segments of the European market are progressing well.

Industrials

Results in our advanced energy storage operation included a $1,069 million benefit which the business was entitled to claim as a production credit under the IRA legislation in the U.S. The benefit was recorded at our share as a reduction of direct operating costs in Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Ongoing commercial actions, operational efficiency initiatives and growing demand of higher margin advanced batteries continue to support underlying performance. In November 2023, the European Commission (“EC”) announced an investigation into the starter automotive battery market. While the EC’s investigation is ongoing and its outcomes uncertain, our advanced energy storage operation does not currently foresee any material adverse exposures in its future earnings or net cash flows in relation to the matter, because, among other things, it has received conditional immunity from the EC and is indemnified against losses incurred in relation to the matter, if any.

Market conditions at our engineered components manufacturer have remained weak contributing to reduced volumes across the business. The business is focused on implementing additional cost optimization initiatives to support profitability and strengthen its market position in the current environment.

Higher billing rates supported by contractual inflation adjustments and the impact of cost optimization initiatives are contributing to improved performance of our Brazilian water and wastewater services operation. The business has achieved cost and commercial optimization improvements over the past 12 months, which has contributed to improved margins and cash flows. While we are preparing the business for a potential sale, the macroeconomic environment in Brazil remains challenging amidst broader inflationary headwinds.

11

Along with our existing operations, we continue to grow our business to enhance our long-term cash flows. During the quarter, we completed the acquisition of Network, a leading digital payment processor in the Middle East and Africa. Following the acquisition, we combined the business with our existing payment processing services operation. We invested an incremental $156 million of equity for an 11% economic interest in the combined business alongside new strategic partners. As a result of the combination, we deconsolidated our investment in our existing payment processing services operation and are now accounting for the combined business as an equity accounted investment.

Revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenues decreased by $5,167 million to $9,232 million, compared to $14,399 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Revenues from our business services segment decreased by $3,889 million, primarily due to the disposition of our road fuels operation in July 2024 which reduced revenues by $4,129 million. Included in the revenues and direct operating costs at our road fuels operation, which has recently been disposed, is duty payable to the government of the United Kingdom of $704 million (September 30, 2023: $2,094 million), which is recorded gross within revenues and direct operating costs without impact on the margin generated by the business. Revenues from our infrastructure services segment decreased by $1,060 million, primarily due to the disposition of our nuclear technology services operation in November 2023. Revenues from our industrials segment decreased by $218 million primarily due to lower volumes at our engineered components manufacturing operation due to weak market conditions, combined with dispositions the partnership completed over the last twelve months. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in revenues from our advanced energy storage operation driven by continued execution of commercial initiatives and growth of higher margin advanced batteries driven by increased aftermarket demand.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenues decreased by $8,470 million to $33,193 million, compared to $41,663 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors described above.

Direct operating costs

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, direct operating costs decreased by $5,947 million to $7,069 million, compared to $13,016 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of our road fuels operation in July 2024 which reduced direct operating costs by $4,022 million, combined with other business dispositions completed over the last twelve months and a benefit of $1,069 million recognized at our advanced energy storage operation related to IRA Credits. As noted above, included in the revenues and direct operating costs at our road fuels operation, which has recently been disposed, is a duty payable to the government of the United Kingdom, which is recorded gross within revenues and direct costs without impact on the margin generated by the business.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, direct operating costs decreased by $8,937 million to $28,875 million, compared to $37,812 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decreasewas primarily due to the same factors described above.

General and administrative expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses decreased by $84 million to $319 million, compared to $403 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the dispositions of our road fuels operation in July 2024 and our nuclear technology services operation in November 2023, combined with the impact of other business dispositions completed over the last twelve months.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses decreased by $259 million to $943 million, compared to $1,202 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors described above.

Interest income (expense), net

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, interest expense decreased by $163 million to $778 million, compared to $941 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net interest expense was primarily due to reduced borrowings within our operations as a result of dispositions and the impact of refinancings which lowered the cost of debt at select operations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, interest expense decreased by $386 million to $2,352 million compared to $2,738 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decreasewas primarily due to the same factors described above.

Gain (loss) on acquisitions/dispositions, net

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net gain (loss) on acquisitions/dispositions was $593 million. This relates to a $483 million gain recognized from the disposition of our road fuels operation, combined with a gain of $110 million recognized from the deconsolidation of our payment processing services operation as a result of a change in accounting basis following its combination with Network.

13

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net gain (loss) on acquisitions/dispositions was $692 million. The net gain includes a $483 million gain recognized from the disposition of our road fuels operation, a $110 million recognized from the deconsolidation of our payment processing services operation, an $84 million gain recognized on the sale of our Canadian aggregates production operation and a $15 million gain recognized from the disposition of our general partner interest and residential real estate brokerage portfolio to Bridgemarq, a publicly listed real estate services operation and brokerage business.

Other income (expense), net

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net other income (expense) decreased by $128 million to net other expense of $229 million, compared to net other expense of $101 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Other income (expense), net corresponds to amounts that are not directly related to revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring income or expenses necessary for business operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the components of other income (expense), net include $112 million related to provisions recorded at our construction operation primarily related to a legacy receivable balance from wound up Middle East operations, $44 million of business separation expenses, stand-up costs and restructuring charges, $27 million of net revaluation losses, $13 million of net losses on debt modification and extinguishment, $3 million of transaction costs and $30 million of other expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the components of other income (expense), net include $42 million of net losses on debt modification and extinguishment, $54 million of business separation expenses, stand-up costs and restructuring charges, $33 million of net revaluation gains, $31 million of transaction costs and $7 million of other expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, current income tax expense increased by $65 million to $276 million, compared to $211 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in current income tax expense is primarily due to a tax settlement in our advanced energy storage operation, partially offset by lower taxable income within our dealer software and technology services operation. Deferred income tax recovery increased by $286 million to $580 million, compared to $294 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in deferred income tax recovery is primarily due to the recognition of IRA Credits within our advanced energy storage operation, partially offset by lower utilization of tax attributes in our dealer software and technology services operation compared to the prior period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, current income tax expense decreased by $116 million to $488 million, compared to $604 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

____________________________________

(1)Average number of LP Units outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 74.3 million (September 30, 2023: 74.6 million).

Revenues and direct operating costs vary from quarter to quarter primarily due to acquisitions and dispositions of businesses, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, business and economic cycles, weather and seasonality, broader economic factors, and commodity market volatility. Within our industrials segment, at our advanced energy storage operation, the demand for batteries in the aftermarket is typically higher in the colder seasons, and in our natural gas production operation, the ability to move heavy equipment safely and efficiently in Western Canadian oil and gas fields is dependent on weather conditions. Within our infrastructure services segment, our work access services operation is impacted by seasonality in the industries it services; for example, most refineries tend to close down for turnarounds during the spring and fall. In addition, cold temperatures in the first and fourth fiscal quarters typically limit activity on maintenance and capital projects in cold climates. In our modular building leasing services, business activity peaks in the summer months while the fourth fiscal quarter is a seasonal low as deliveries typically reduce in the winter. Some of our business services activities are seasonal in nature and are affected by the general level of economic activity and related volume of services purchased by our clients. The mortgage insurance premiums underwritten at our residential mortgage insurer fluctuate based on the general seasonality and macroeconomic conditions affecting the Canadian housing market. Net income is impacted by periodic monetization gains and impairment losses.

Financial assets

Financial assets increased by $208 million to $13,384 million as at September 30, 2024, compared to $13,176 million as at December 31, 2023. The balance comprised marketable securities, loans and notes receivable, derivative assets and other financial assets. The increase was primarily due to higher mortgage and loans receivable at our Australian asset manager and lender and our Indian non-bank financial services operation due to growth in loan originations. The increase was partially offset by the disposition of our road fuels operation, combined with the sale of public securities within our industrials segment during the period.

The following table presents financial assets by segment as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

(US$ MILLIONS)	Business services		Infrastructure services		Industrials		Corporate and other		Total
September 30, 2024	$	12,847	$	189	$	347	$	1	$	13,384
December 31, 2023	$	12,617	$	159	$	399	$	1	$	13,176

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable, net decreased by $83 million to $6,480 million as at September 30, 2024, compared to $6,563 million as at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of our road fuels operation and the deconsolidation of our payment processing services operation, partially offset by an account receivable of $1,069 million recorded at our advanced energy storage operation related to IRA Credits.

Inventory and other assets

Inventory and other assets decreased by $606 million to $4,715 million as at September 30, 2024, compared to $5,321 million as at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of our road fuels operation, partially offset by the classification to assets held for sale of our non-core home finance lending business within our Indian non-bank financial services operation.

Property, plant & equipment and intangible assets

PP&E decreased by $197 million to $15,527 million as at September 30, 2024, compared to $15,724 million as at December 31, 2023. The decrease was due to regular depreciation expense of $1,244 million, dispositions of $1,227 million, impact of foreign exchange movements of $166 million and the classification of $56 million of PP&E to assets held for sale within our offshore oil services operation. These factors were partially offset by additions to PP&E of $2,496 million primarily due to growth capital expenditures. As at September 30, 2024, PP&E included $906 million of right-of-use assets (December 31, 2023: $1,296 million).

Intangible assets decreased by $1,512 million to $19,334 million as at September 30, 2024, compared to $20,846 million as at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to regular amortization expense of $1,184 million, combined with the impact of foreign exchange movements of $294 million and dispositions of $315 million, partially offset by additions of $281 million.

Capital expenditures represent additions to PP&E and certain intangible assets. Included in capital expenditures are maintenance capital expenditures, which are required to sustain the current performance of our operations, and growth capital expenditures, which are made for incrementally new assets that are expected to expand existing operations. Within our business services segment, capital expenditures were primarily related to maintenance and improvements on hospital facilities and new hospital equipment at our healthcare services and maintenance and expansion of the fleet at our fleet management and car rental services operation. Within our infrastructure services segment, capital expenditures were primarily vessel dry-docking costs at our offshore oil services operation which are contractually reimbursed by our customer and fleet investment at our modular building leasing services. Within our industrials segment, capital expenditures were primarily related to expansions and equipment replacement at our advanced energy storage operation. We also include additions to intangible assets in our water and wastewater operation within capital expenditures due to the nature of its concession agreements. Maintenance and growth capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $633 million and $1,418 million, respectively (September 30, 2023: $498 million and $1,894 million, respectively). Growth capital expenditures include fleet expansion capital expenditures at our fleet management and car rental services operation presented as cash used in operating activities in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Deferred Income Tax Assets

Deferred income tax assets increased by $689 million to $1,909 million as at September 30, 2024, compared to $1,220 million as at December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to recognition of IRA Credits at our advanced energy storage operation and tax attributes at our construction operation.

Equity Accounted Investments

Equity accounted investments increased by $210 million to $2,364 million as at September 30, 2024, compared to $2,154 million as at December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Network in September 2024 which was subsequently combined with our payment processing services operation, resulting in the recognition of our ownership interest in the combined business as an equity accounted investment.

Goodwill

Goodwill decreased by $589 million to $13,540 million as at September 30, 2024, compared to $14,129 million as at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the deconsolidation of our payment processing services operation and the disposition of our road fuels operation.

17

Accounts payable and other

Accounts payable and other decreased by $1,918 million to $16,460 million as at September 30, 2024, compared to $18,378 million as at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of our road fuels operation and deconsolidation of our payment processing services operation. These factors were partially offset by higher deferred revenues at our offshore oil services.

Corporate and non-recourse borrowings

Borrowings are discussed in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A.

Deferred Income Tax Liabilities

Deferred income tax liabilities decreased by $340 million to $2,886 million as at September 30, 2024, compared to $3,226 million as at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in tax attributes within our dealer software and technology services operation, combined with reductions to the deferred tax liabilities within our advanced energy storage operation, engineered components manufacturing operation and our water and wastewater operation.

Equity attributable to Unitholders

As at September 30, 2024, our capital structure comprised two classes of partnership units: LP Units and GP Units. LP Units entitle the holder to their proportionate share of distributions. GP Units entitle the holder the right to govern our financial and operating policies. See Item 10.B, “Memorandum and Articles of Association - Description of our Units and our Limited Partnership Agreement” in our 2023 Annual Report.

The Holding LP’s capital structure comprised three classes of partnership units: managing general partner units held by Brookfield Business Partners L.P., Special LP Units and Redemption-Exchange Units held by Brookfield. In its capacity as the holder of the Special LP Units, the special limited partner is entitled to receive incentive distributions based on a 20% increase in the LP Unit price over an initial threshold. See Item 10.B, “Memorandum and Articles of Association - Description of the Holding LP Limited Partnership Agreement” in our 2023 Annual Report.

During the third quarter of 2024, the volume-weighted average price was $20.22 per LP Unit, which was below the current incentive distribution threshold of $31.53 per LP Unit, resulting in an incentive distribution of $nil for the quarter.

BBUC’s capital structure comprised BBUC exchangeable shares held by Brookfield Holders and public shareholders. Each BBUC exchangeable share has been structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to one LP Unit, and BBUC targets to pay identical dividends on a per share basis to the distributions paid on each LP Unit. Each BBUC exchangeable share is exchangeable, at the BBUC shareholder’s option, for one LP Unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent.

On August 15, 2024, the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) accepted a notice filed by the partnership of its intention to renew a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) for its LP Units. Under the NCIB, the partnership is authorized to repurchase up to 5% of its issued and outstanding LP Units as at August 8, 2024, or 3,714,088 LP Units, including up to 10,340 LP Units on the TSX during any trading day.

On August 15, 2024, the TSX accepted a notice filed by BBUC, a consolidated subsidiary of the partnership, of its intention to renew the NCIB for its BBUC exchangeable shares. Under the NCIB, BBUC is authorized to repurchase up to 5% of its issued and outstanding BBUC exchangeable shares as at August 8, 2024 or 3,647,722 shares, including up to 5,184 shares on the TSX during any trading day.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the partnership did not repurchase any of its LP Units (September 30, 2023: 54,264 LP Units).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Brookfield Corporation purchased 443,722 LP Units under our NCIB (September 30, 2023: 374,533 LP Units). Of this amount, 428,511 LP Units were purchased in the three months ended September 30, 2024.

As at September 30, 2024, Brookfield Holders owned approximately 65% of the issued and outstanding BBUC exchangeable shares. The Brookfield Holders have agreed that all decisions to be made with respect to the BBUC exchangeable shares will be made jointly among the Brookfield Holders.

18

As at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total number of Units outstanding are as follows:

UNITS	September 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
GP Units	4	4
LP Units	74,281,766	74,281,763
Non-controlling interests:
Redemption-Exchange Units	69,705,497	69,705,497
BBUC exchangeable shares	72,954,447	72,954,450
Special LP Units	4	4

Segment Analysis

Our operations are organized into four operating segments which are regularly reviewed by the CODM for the purpose of allocating resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The key measures used by the CODM in assessing performance and in making resource allocation decisions are adjusted earnings from operations (“Adjusted EFO”) and Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EFO is our segment measure of profit or loss reported in accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments. The CODM uses Adjusted EFO to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. Adjusted EFO is used by the CODM to evaluate our segments on the basis of return on invested capital generated by the underlying operations and is used by the CODM to evaluate the performance of our segments on a levered basis.

Adjusted EFO is calculated as net income and equity accounted income at our economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investments, respectively, excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization expense, deferred income taxes, transaction costs, restructuring charges, unrealized revaluation gains or losses, impairment reversals or expenses and other income or expense items that are not directly related to revenue generating activities. Our economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests consistent with how we determine net income attributable to non-controlling interests in our IFRS consolidated statements of operating results. In order to provide additional insight regarding our operating performance over the lifecycle of an investment, Adjusted EFO includes the impact of preferred equity distributions and realized disposition gains or losses, recorded in net income, other comprehensive income, or directly in equity, such as ownership changes. Adjusted EFO does not include legal and other provisions that may occur from time to time in the partnership’s operations and that are one-time or non-recurring and not directly tied to the partnership’s operations, such as those for litigation or contingencies. Adjusted EFO includes expected credit losses and bad debt allowances recorded in the normal course of the partnership’s operations.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure of operating performance, provides a comprehensive understanding of the ability of the partnership’s businesses to generate recurring earnings and assists our CODM in understanding and evaluating the core underlying financial performance of our businesses. For further information on Adjusted EBITDA, see the “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” section of this MD&A.

Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Net income attributable to Unitholders for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $301 million, representing an increase of $345 million compared to net loss attributable to Unitholders of $44 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Net income attributable to Unitholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $329 million, representing an increase of $347 million compared to net loss attributable to Unitholders of $18 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $844 million, representing an increase of $189 million compared to $655 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Current period results included a $296 million benefit, at our share, recognized within our advanced energy storage operation which the business is entitled to claim under the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act. The benefit was recorded as a reduction to direct operating costs in the current period and relates to the twelve months ended September 30, 2024. Prior period results included contributions from our nuclear technology services operation and other disposed operations.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1,912 million representing an increase of $29 million compared to $1,883 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the same factors described above.

Total equity	$	8,833	$	8,631

Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Adjusted EFO in our business services segment for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $245 million, representing an increase of $122 million, compared to $123 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in Adjusted EFO was primarily due to the net gain recognized on the disposition of our road fuels operation and the deconsolidation of our payment processing services operation as a result of combining the business with Network.

Adjusted EFO in our business services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $499 million, representing an increase of $44 million, compared to $455 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA in our business services segment for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $228 million, representing a decrease of $10 million, compared to $238 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Our residential mortgage insurer contributed $66 million to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $64 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Performance during the quarter benefited from higher insurance revenue and investment income. New insurance premiums increased compared to the prior period supported by a declining mortgage rate environment and increased overall Canadian housing activity. Mortgage delinquencies, while higher as expected compared to the prior period, remain low relative to historical levels and are contributing to low levels of losses on claims in the business. Our dealer software and technology services operation contributed $50 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $58 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Growth in annual recurring revenue, a key performance metric for the business, was offset by higher costs during the quarter associated with modernization and technology upgrades. The business continues to focus on retention initiatives and optimizing customer service levels. Our healthcare services contributed $10 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $12 million for three months ended September 30, 2023. Modestly higher admission rates were offset by a skew toward lower margin same day activity and higher overall operating costs. The business continues to face significant headwinds given the impact of a challenging operating environment and overall lower activity levels.

Adjusted EBITDA in our business services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $615 million, representing a decrease of $58 million compared to $673 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to additional costs incurred related to a project in Australia at our construction operation and the impact of costs incurred and one-time billing credits provided to customers related to the disruption of operations during a cybersecurity incident at our dealer software and technology services operation, combined with the factors discussed above.

Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Adjusted EFO in our infrastructure services segment for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $61 million, representing a decrease of $45 million, compared to $106 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lost contribution from our nuclear technology services operation that was sold in November 2023.

Adjusted EFO in our infrastructure services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $209 million, representing a decrease of $71 million, compared to $280 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA in our infrastructure services segment for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $146 million, representing a decrease of $82 million, compared to $228 million during the same period in 2023 which included $77 million of contribution from our nuclear technology services operation that was sold in November 2023.

Our offshore oil services operation contributed $49 million to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $45 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Performance during the quarter benefited from higher contribution from shuttle tanker operations due to higher utilization levels and lower operating costs. Our modular building leasing services operation contributed $43 million to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $42 million for three months ended September 30, 2023. Sales of value added products and services and the benefit of ongoing cost and operational efficiency initiatives contributed to results during the quarter. Performance was impacted by lower sales of new units and reduced utilization of units primarily in the United Kingdom and Germany. Our lottery services operation contributed $31 million to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Performance during the quarter was impacted by timing of hardware deliveries and decreased industry activity levels due to the lower overall size of jackpots compared to the prior period. The acceleration of cost reduction, sourcing and manufacturing optimization actions is supporting profitability as recently awarded commercial agreements continue to ramp up.

Adjusted EBITDA in our infrastructure services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $446 million, representing a decrease of $223 million compared to $669 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors described above.

The increase in Adjusted EFO was primarily due to a reduction in direct operating costs of $296 million, at our share, related to the IRA Credits in our advanced energy storage operation, partially offset by gains recognized on dispositions completed in the prior period.

Adjusted EFO in our industrials segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $742 million, representing an increase of $365 million, compared to $377 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA in our industrials segment for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $500 million, representing a decrease of $282 million, compared to $218 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Our advanced energy storage operation contributed $443 million to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $150 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Business performance remains strong driven by ongoing commercial actions, operational efficiency initiatives and growing demand for higher margin advanced batteries. Results for the quarter include a $296 million benefit, at our share, which the business is entitled to claim under the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act. The benefit was recorded as a reduction to direct operating costs in the current period and relates to the twelve months ended September 30, 2024. The business intends to continue investing in its U.S. manufacturing operations, including capacity expansions and important innovations to strengthen its global industry leadership position. Our engineered components manufacturing operation contributed $25 million to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $36 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to weak market conditions. We are continuing to work alongside the business on additional initiatives to optimize costs and support its market position in the current environment.

Adjusted EBITDA in our industrials segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $941 million, representing an increase of $308 million compared to $633 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher contributions from our advanced energy storage operation as described above.

Pursuant to our Master Services Agreement, we pay Brookfield a base management fee equal to 0.3125% quarterly (1.25% annually) of our total market capitalization, plus recourse debt, net of cash, and other securities held by corporate entities. Management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $23 million and $67 million, compared to $23 million and $69 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. General and administrative costs comprise management fees and corporate expenses, including audit and other expenses.

Adjusted EFO in the current period included lower distributions on preferred equity securities due to the redemption of preferred equity securities held by Brookfield during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

To measure our performance, amongst other measures, we focus on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure of operating performance presented as net income and equity accounted income at our economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investments, respectively, excluding the impact of interest income (expense), net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, gains (losses) on acquisitions/dispositions, net, transaction costs, restructuring charges, revaluation gains or losses, impairment expenses or reversals, other income or expenses, and preferred equity distributions. Adjusted EBITDA excludes other income (expense), net as reported in our IFRS consolidated statements of operating results, because this includes amounts that are not related to revenue earning activities, and are not normal, recurring operating income or expenses necessary for business operations. Other income (expense), net includes revaluation gains and losses, transaction costs, restructuring charges, stand-up costs and business separation expenses, gains or loss on debt extinguishments or modifications, gains or losses on dispositions of property, plant and equipment, non-recurring and one-time provisions that may occur from time to time at one of the partnership’s operations that are not reflective of normal operations, and other items. Our economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests consistent with how we determine net income attributable to non-controlling interests in our IFRS consolidated statements of operating results. Due to the size and diversification of our operations, including economic ownership interests that vary, Adjusted EBITDA is critical in assessing the overall operating performance of our business. When viewed with our IFRS results, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides a comprehensive understanding of the ability of our businesses to generate recurring earnings which allows users to better understand and evaluate the underlying financial performance of our operations and excludes items we believe do not directly relate to revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring items necessary for business operations. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA also gives investors comparability of our ongoing performance across periods.

24

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool as it does not include interest income (expense), net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, gains (losses) on acquisitions/dispositions, net, transaction costs, restructuring charges, revaluation gains or losses, impairment reversals or expenses and other income (expense), net. As a result of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not 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 results as reported under IFRS. However, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure that we use to evaluate the performance of our operations.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

The following tables reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024:

____________________________________

(1)Other income (expense), net corresponds to amounts that are not directly related to revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring income or expenses necessary for business operations. The components of other income (expense), net include $112 million related to provisions recorded at our construction operation primarily related to a legacy receivable balance from wound up Middle East operations, $44 million of business separation expenses, stand-up costs and restructuring charges, $27 million of net revaluation losses, $13 million of net losses on debt modification and extinguishment, $3 million of transaction costs and $30 million of other expenses.

(2)Equity accounted Adjusted EBITDA corresponds to the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the partnership that is generated by our investments in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method.

(3)Amounts attributable to non-controlling interests are calculated based on the economic ownership interests held by the non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries.

Discussion of Reconciling Items

Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation of PP&E, amortization of intangible assets and depletion related to our energy assets. The depreciation and amortization expense in our infrastructure services segment is mainly due to the amortization of intangible assets at our modular building leasing services and our lottery services operation and the depreciation of vessels at our offshore oil services operation. The depreciation and amortization expense in our industrials segment is primarily related to the depreciation of PP&E and amortization of intangible assets at our advanced energy storage operation and our engineered components manufacturing operation. Depreciation and amortization expense in our business services segment is primarily due to amortization of intangible assets at our dealer software and technology services operation. Depreciation and amortization expense is generally consistent period-over-period with large changes typically attributable to the addition or disposal of depreciable assets and the impact of foreign exchange movements.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $86 million to $808 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $894 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of our nuclear technology services operation in November 2023.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $276 million to $2,425 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $2,701 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the same factor described above.

Income tax (expense) recovery, net was a net income tax recovery of $304 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $83 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in income tax recovery was primarily due to the recognition of IRA Credits within our advanced energy storage operation, combined with lower taxable income within our dealer software and technology services operation and lower overall income tax expense due to dispositions completed over the last twelve months. The increase was partially offset by lower utilization of tax attributes in our dealer software and technology services operation compared to the prior period.

28

Income tax (expense) recovery, net was a net income tax recovery of $436 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to an income tax expense of $26 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in income tax recovery was primarily due to the same factors described above.

Interest expense, net decreased by $163 million to $778 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $941 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to reduced borrowings within our operations as a result of dispositions and the impact of refinancings which lowered the cost of debt at select operations.

Interest expense, net decreased by $386 million to $2,352 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $2,738 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors described above.

Amounts attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by $583 million to $1,878 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1,295 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in amounts attributable to non-controlling interests is primarily due to the disposition of our road fuels operation in July 2024, combined with the deconsolidation of our payment processing services operation and the impact of business dispositions completed over the last twelve months.

Amounts attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by $418 million to $4,107 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $3,689 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors described above.

The following table reconciles equity attributable to LP Units, GP Units, Redemption-Exchange Units, BBUC exchangeable shares and Special LP Units to equity attributable to Unitholders for the periods indicated:

(US$ MILLIONS)	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Limited partners	$	1,980	$	1,909
General partner	—		—
Non-controlling interests attributable to:
Redemption-Exchange Units	1,858		1,792
Special LP Units	—		—
BBUC exchangeable shares	1,945		1,875
Equity attributable to Unitholders	$	5,783	$	5,576

The following table is a summary of our equity attributable to Unitholders by segment as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. This is determined based on the partnership’s economic ownership interest in the equity within each portfolio company. The partnership’s economic ownership interest in the equity within each portfolio company excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests consistent with how the partnership determines the carrying value of equity in its consolidated statements of financial position. Equity attributable to Unitholders reconciles to limited partners, redemption-exchange units, special limited partners and BBUC exchangeable shares in the consolidated statements of financial position.

(US$ MILLIONS)	Business services		Infrastructure services		Industrials		Corporate and other		Total
September 30, 2024	$	3,870	$	3,420	$	2,618	$	(4,125)	$	5,783
December 31, 2023	$	3,418	$	3,534	$	2,155	$	(3,531)	$	5,576

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and capital requirements are managed through cash flows from operations, use of credit facilities, opportunistically monetizing mature operations and refinancing existing debt. We aim to maintain sufficient financial liquidity to meet our ongoing operating requirements and to fund debt service payments, recurring expenses, required capital expenditures, and acquisition opportunities as they arise. In addition, an integral part of our strategy is to pursue acquisitions through Brookfield-led consortium arrangements with institutional partners or strategic partners, and to form partnerships to pursue acquisitions on a specialized or global basis. Brookfield has an established track record of leading such consortiums and partnerships and actively managing underlying assets to improve performance. Overall, we believe that our liquidity profile is strong, positioning us and our businesses well to take advantage of accretive investment opportunities.

Our principal sources of liquidity are financial assets, undrawn credit facilities, cash flows from operations, monetizations of businesses, and access to public and private capital markets.

The following table presents non-recourse borrowings in subsidiaries of the partnership by segment as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

(US$ MILLIONS)	Business services		Infrastructure services		Industrials		Total
September 30, 2024	$	16,988	$	8,852	$	13,731	$	39,571
December 31, 2023	$	17,310	$	8,977	$	14,522	$	40,809

As at September 30, 2024, the partnership had non-recourse borrowings in subsidiaries of $39,571 million compared to $40,809 million as at December 31, 2023. Non-recourse borrowings in subsidiaries of the partnership comprised the following:

(US$ MILLIONS)	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Term loans	$	18,055	$	19,260
Notes and debentures	12,908		13,169
Credit facilities (1)	3,520		4,738
Securitization program (2)	4,257		2,705
Project financing	831		937
Total non-recourse borrowings in subsidiaries of the partnership	$	39,571	$	40,809

____________________________________

(1)Includes borrowings made under subscription facilities of Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds.

(2)Our securitization program is related to the securitization of residential mortgages at our Australian asset manager and lender, and securitization at our Indian non-banking financial services operation.

The partnership has financing arrangements within its operating businesses that trade in public markets or are held at major financial institutions. The financing arrangements of the partnership’s operating businesses totaled $39,571 million as at September 30, 2024, compared to $40,809 million as at December 31, 2023. The decrease of $1,238 million was primarily due to scheduled debt repayments and repayment of borrowings made under subscription facilities of Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds, combined with debt repayments in our offshore oil services, repayments in our advanced energy storage operation and the disposition of our road fuels operation.

We principally finance our assets at the operating company level with debt that is non-recourse to both the partnership and to our other operations and is generally secured against assets within the respective operating companies. Moreover, debt instruments at the operating company level do not cross-accelerate or cross-default to debt at other operating companies. This debt has varying maturities ranging from less than one year to 57 years. The weighted average maturity as at September 30, 2024 was 6.6 years and the weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding was 7.6%, including the impact of hedges. Approximately 75% of our non-recourse borrowings are either fixed or hedged through derivatives or naturally hedged within our operations. As at September 30, 2024, we have $41,549 million in borrowings with an additional capacity of $8,523 million in undrawn credit facilities at the corporate and subsidiary level.

The use of credit facilities, term loans and debt securities is primarily related to ongoing operations, capital expenditures and to fund acquisitions. Interest rates charged on these facilities are based on market interest rates. The majority of borrowings drawn are not subject to financial maintenance covenants, however, some are subject to fixed charge coverage, leverage ratios and minimum equity or liquidity covenants. All of the partnership’s operations are currently in compliance with all material covenant requirements and the partnership continues to work with its businesses to monitor performance against such covenant requirements.

The partnership has bilateral credit facilities backed by large global banks that continue to be highly supportive of our business. The credit facilities are available in Euros, British pounds, Australian, U.S. and Canadian dollars. Advances under the credit facilities bear interest at the specified SOFR, SONIA, EURIBOR, CORRA, BBSY, or bankers’ acceptance rate plus 2.50%, or the specified base rate or prime rate plus 1.50%. The credit facilities require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and deconsolidated debt-to-capitalization ratio at the corporate level. The total capacity on the bilateral credit facilities is $2.35 billion with a maturity date of June 29, 2029, and the partnership had $365 million available as at September 30, 2024.

30

The partnership also has a revolving acquisition credit facility with Brookfield that permits borrowings of up to $1 billion. The credit facility is guaranteed by the partnership, the Holding LP, the Holding Entities and certain of our subsidiaries. The credit facility is available in U.S. or Canadian dollars, and advances are made by way of SOFR, base rate, bankers’ acceptance rate or prime rate loans. The credit facility bears interest at the specified SOFR or bankers’ acceptance rate plus 3.45%, or the specified base rate or prime rate plus 2.45%. The credit facility requires us to maintain a minimum deconsolidated net worth and contains restrictions on the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to, among other things, incur certain liens or enter into speculative hedging arrangements. The maturity date of the credit facility is April 27, 2028, which date will automatically extend for a one-year period on April 27 of each year unless Brookfield provides written notice of its intention not to further extend the then prevailing maturity date. The total available amount on the credit facility will decrease to $500 million on April 27, 2025. As at September 30, 2024, the revolving acquisition credit facility remains undrawn.

The partnership also has deposit agreements with Brookfield whereby we may place funds on deposit with Brookfield and whereby Brookfield may place funds on deposit with our partnership. Any deposit balance due to our partnership is due on demand and bears interest at SOFR plus 40 basis points. Any deposit balance due to Brookfield is due on demand and bears interest at SOFR plus 160 basis points, subject to the terms of such interest more particularly described in the deposit agreement. As at September 30, 2024, the amount of the deposit from Brookfield was $nil (December 31, 2023: $nil) and the amount on deposit with Brookfield was $nil (December 31, 2023: $nil).

The partnership has an agreement with Brookfield to subscribe for up to $1.5 billion of perpetual preferred equity securities, whereby proceeds are available for us to draw upon for future growth opportunities as they arise. Brookfield has the right to cause our partnership to redeem the preferred securities at par to the extent of any asset sales, financings or equity issuances. Brookfield has the right to waive its redemption option. As at September 30, 2024, the amount subscribed from subsidiaries of the partnership was $725 million with an annual dividend of 7%. The remaining capacity on the commitment agreement with Brookfield is $25 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, distributions of $13 million have been declared on the perpetual preferred equity securities.

The table below outlines the partnership’s consolidated net debt-to-capitalization as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

(US$ MILLIONS, except as noted)	September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Corporate borrowings	$	1,978		$	1,440
Non-recourse borrowings in subsidiaries of the partnership	39,571			40,809
Cash and cash equivalents	(3,003)			(3,252)
Net debt	$	38,546		$	38,997
Total equity	19,361			18,532
Total capital and net debt	$	57,907		$	57,529
Net debt-to-capitalization ratio	67		%	68		%

The partnership’s general partner has implemented a distribution policy pursuant to which we intend to make quarterly cash distributions in an initial amount currently anticipated to be approximately $0.25 per unit on an annualized basis. On November 7, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.0625 per unit payable on December 31, 2024 to Unitholders of record as at the close of business on November 29, 2024.

During the third quarter of 2024, the volume-weighted average price was $20.22 per LP Unit, which was below the current incentive distribution threshold of $31.53 per LP Unit, resulting in no incentive distribution for the quarter.

Cash Flow

We believe that we have sufficient liquidity and access to capital resources and will continue to use our available liquidity and capital resources to fund our operations and to finance anticipated acquisitions and other material cash requirements. Our future capital resources include cash flow from operations, borrowings, proceeds from asset monetizations and proceeds from potential future equity issuances, if any.

As at September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,003 million, compared to $3,252 million as at December 31, 2023. The net cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(US$ MILLIONS)	2024		2023
Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities	$	2,333	$	1,704
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities	(457)		(695)
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities	(1,975)		(883)
Impact of foreign exchange on cash	(100)		6
Net change in cash classified within assets held for sale	(50)		(39)
Change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(249)	$	93

Cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities

Total cash flow provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $2,333 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1,704 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net of non-cash working capital changes, the cash flow provided by operating activities was $2,885 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1,581 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily attributable to the cash generated by our advanced energy storage operation and our residential mortgage insurer in Canada.

Cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities

Total cash flow used in financing activities was $457 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to total cash flow used in financing activities of $695 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our financing activities included distributions and capital paid to others who have interests in operating subsidiaries of $562 million, primarily using proceeds from the sale of our road fuels operation and our investments in public securities, combined with dividend distributions from our residential mortgage insurer. Financing activities also included repayments of non-recourse borrowings of $111 million at our advanced energy storage operation, which was partially offset by net proceeds from corporate borrowings of $545 million related to recent acquisitions.

Cash flow provided by (used in) investing activities

Total cash flow used in investing activities was $1,975 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to total cash flow used in investing activities of $883 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Cash flows used in investing activities were driven by capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of $1,924 million primarily at our offshore oil services operation, which is contractually reimbursed by our customer, and our advanced energy storage operation. This was partially offset by proceeds received from the disposition of our road fuels operation and our Canadian aggregates production operation.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of operations, our operating subsidiaries have bank guarantees, insurance bonds and letters of credit outstanding to third parties. As at September 30, 2024, the total outstanding amount was approximately $2.1 billion. If these letters of credit or bonds are drawn upon, our operating subsidiaries will be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit or bonds. The partnership does not conduct its operations, other than those of equity accounted investments, through entities that are not consolidated in the consolidated financial statements and has not guaranteed or otherwise contractually committed to support any material financial obligations not reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Our construction operation and other operations may be called upon to give, in the ordinary course of business, guarantees and indemnities in respect of the performance of controlled entities, associates and related parties of their contractual obligations.

32

In the normal course of operations, our operating subsidiaries will execute agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third parties in transactions such as business dispositions and acquisitions, construction projects, capital projects, and sales and purchases of assets and services. We have also agreed to indemnify our directors and certain of our officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings prevents us from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that we could be required to pay third parties, as many of the agreements do not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, we have made no significant payments under such indemnification agreements. In addition, we have also entered into indemnity agreements with Brookfield that relate to certain construction projects in the Middle East region that have been in place for several years. Under these indemnity agreements, Brookfield has agreed to indemnify us or refund us, as appropriate, for the receipt of payments relating to such projects.

From time to time, we may be contingently liable with respect to litigation and claims that arise in the normal course of operations. In our construction operation, this may include litigation and claims from clients or subcontractors, in addition to our associated counterclaims. Our dealer software and technology services operation has become subject to several class action lawsuits in connection with the cybersecurity incident and the operation may be subject to further lawsuits, claims, inquiries or investigations. We believe that the legal proceedings are without merit and intend to vigorously contest them. On an ongoing basis, we assess the potential impact of these events. Aside from the costs to defend against these claims, the potential loss amount from these claims cannot be measured and is not probable at this time.

Contractual Obligations

An integral part of the partnership’s strategy is to participate with institutional investors in Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds that target acquisitions that suit the partnership’s investment mandate. In the normal course of business, the partnership has made commitments to Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds to participate in these target acquisitions in the future, if and when identified.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements that may require future cash payments. The table below outlines our undiscounted contractual obligations as at September 30, 2024:

	Payments as at September 30, 2024
(US$ MILLIONS)	Total		< 1 Year		1-2 Years		3-5 Years		5+ Years
Borrowings	$	42,247	$	2,172	$	3,916	$	25,069	$	11,090
Lease liabilities	1,316		185		222		356		553
Interest expense	12,645		2,513		2,369		5,104		2,659
Decommissioning liabilities	749		9		5		16		719
Pension obligations	404		34		35		106		229
Commitments for capital expenditure (1)	997		862		109		26		—
Total	$	58,358	$	5,775	$	6,656	$	30,677	$	15,250

____________________________________

(1)Includes approximately $920 million of contractual commitments in the form of shipbuilding contracts at our offshore oil services. The capital expenditures relate to a customer contract and will be funded by proceeds to be contractually received from the customer.

Financial instruments - foreign currency hedging strategy

To the extent that we believe it is economical to do so, our strategy is to hedge all or a portion of our equity investments and/or cash flows exposed to foreign currencies by the partnership. The partnership’s foreign currency hedging policy includes leveraging any natural hedges that may exist within our operations, utilizing local currency debt financing to the extent possible and utilizing derivative contracts to minimize any residual exposures to the extent natural hedges are insufficient.

33

The following table presents a summary as at September 30, 2024 of our Unitholder equity positions by functional currency and our derivative contract net investment hedges:

	Net Unitholder Equity by Functional Currency
(US$ MILLIONS)	CAD		AUD		BRL		GBP		EUR		INR		Other
Net Equity	$	1,464	$	667	$	657	$	52	$	1,746	$	183	$	1,014
FX Contracts – US$	(588)		(204)		(370)		—		(51)		(46)		—

As at September 30, 2024, approximately 22% of our Unitholder equity with foreign currency exposure was hedged using derivative contracts.

Related Party Transactions

We entered into a number of related party transactions with Brookfield as described in Note 17 of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make critical judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources, during the reporting period. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

For further reference on accounting policies, critical judgments and estimates, see our material accounting policy information contained in Note 2 of our annual audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Global minimum top-up tax

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

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the IRA was enacted in the United States, providing multiple incentives for domestic energy production and manufacturing. In December 2023, the United States Department of the Treasury issued proposed regulations, which were subsequently finalized in October 2024, that provided guidance in determining eligibility to claim IRA Credits. The IRA Credits are available for qualifying activities from 2023 to 2032, subject to phase out beginning in 2030.

Our advanced energy storage operation is entitled to claim IRA Credits over the availability period as determined under the IRA. For qualified business activities for the period between October 1, 2022 and September 30, 2023, the IRA Credit is a carryforward to offset future taxes and accounted for under IAS 12. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the partnership recorded $433 million and $610 million, respectively, as deferred tax recovery in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results and related deferred tax assets in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

For qualified business activities in our advanced energy storage operation beginning in its fiscal year 2024 subsequent to October 1, 2023, IRA Credits are eligible to be refundable or transferable, and therefore the benefits are accounted for in accordance with IAS 20.

IAS 20 permits a policy choice to record benefits of a similar nature as income or an offset to a related expense. The partnership has elected to record these benefits as a reduction to direct operating costs in its unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results, with a corresponding receivable in accounts and other receivable, net in its unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the partnership recorded a cumulative benefit of $1,069 million.
