Brookfield recorded $7.6 billion of revenue and $635 million of net losses in 2019 from the acquired operations as a result of the acquisitions made during the year. If the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the year, they would have contributed $14.7 billion and $189 million to total revenue and net income, respectively. The difference in our net losses since acquisition date compared to net income had we held our investments since January 1 primarily relate to the timing of acquisitions during the year as those with large contributors to net income were purchased in late 2019. In addition, our post-acquisition margins were reduced from the step-up in inventory costs resulting from purchase price allocations as well as restructuring costs in certain of our acquisitions.
The following table summarizes the balance sheet impact as a result of significant business combinations that occurred in 2019. The valuations of the assets acquired are still under evaluation and as such the business combinations have been accounted for on a provisional basis.

Total revenues and net income that would have been recorded if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the year are $2.3 billion and $235 million, respectively.
On December 31, 2019, a subsidiary of the company, along with institutional partners, acquired a 100% interest in NorthRiver Midstream Inc., the federally regulated portion of Enbridge Inc.’s Canadian natural gas midstream business to be operated alongside the provincial assets acquired in 2018, for a total consideration of $1.3 billion. Consideration paid funded with $861 million of cash on hand and the remainder funded through non-recourse borrowings raised concurrently on closing. The acquisition resulted in recognition of $218 million of goodwill, which is largely reflective of potential growth prospects and strong market position.

Total consideration, including amounts paid by non-controlling interests that participated in the acquisition as investors in Brookfield-sponsored private funds or as co-investors.
On June 12, 2018, a subsidiary of the company, along with institutional investors, acquired a 95% interest in Saeta Yield, S.A. (“Saeta Yield”) for total cash consideration of $1.1 billion, funded through an equity issuance at the subsidiary, amounts drawn on a non-recourse credit facility and available cash on hand. The acquisition resulted in $115 million of goodwill due to the recognition of a deferred tax liability because the tax bases of the net assets are lower than their acquisition date fair value. None of the goodwill recognized is deductible for income tax purposes. Total revenues and net income that would have been recorded if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the year are $407 million and $63 million, respectively.
On August 1, 2018, a subsidiary of the company, together with institutional investors, acquired a 100% interest in Westinghouse Electric Company (“Westinghouse”). Total consideration paid was $3.8 billion in cash, with $886 million provided by the subsidiary and its partners and the balance funded through asset level debt raised concurrently on closing. On acquisition, goodwill of $213 million was recognized, which represents future growth the subsidiary expects to receive from the integration of Westinghouse’s operations; this goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Total revenues and net losses that would have been recorded if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the year are $3.9 billion and $239 million, respectively.
On August 3, 2018, a subsidiary of the company, together with institutional investors, acquired a 100% leasehold interest in 666 Fifth Avenue, a commercial office asset in New York, for total consideration of $1.3 billion. Total revenues and net income that would have been recorded if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the year are $84 million and $85 million, respectively.
On August 28, 2018, a subsidiary of the company acquired all outstanding shares of GGP other than those shares already held by the subsidiary for total consideration of $13.2 billion, plus the payment of a pre-closing dividend of $9.05 billion. The pre-closing dividend was funded by financing activity and proceeds from the sales of partial interests in certain properties within GGP.
A new entity, Brookfield Property REIT (“BPR”), was formed to hold the GGP assets; BPR issued 161 million shares to GGP shareholders as consideration. BPR shares, which are structured to provide an economic return equivalent to that of BPY units, are presented as non-controlling interests within equity.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages. Our existing equity interest in GGP was remeasured to its fair value of $7.8 billion immediately prior to the completion of the transaction based on our interest in the fair value of GGP’s identifiable net assets and liabilities. As a result of this remeasurement, a loss of approximately $502 million was recognized in fair value changes.
Total consideration of $13.2 billion is made up of our existing equity investment of $7.8 billion, new equity, in the form of 88 million BPY LP units and 161 million BPR Class A shares, issued to GGP’s shareholders totaling $5.2 billion, cash consideration of $200 million and share-based payment awards to GGP employees with a fair value of $28 million. On acquisition, we recognized a bargain purchase gain of $921 million in fair value changes as the agreed upon transaction price and the fair value of the consideration transferred was less than the aggregate fair value of the assets acquired net of the liabilities assumed.
Total revenues and net income that would have been recorded if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the year are $1.8 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.
On October 1, 2018, a subsidiary of the company, together with institutional investors, acquired a 100% interest in NorthRiver Midstream Inc. (“NorthRiver”), a western Canadian natural gas gathering and processing business, for total cash consideration of $2.0 billion. The acquisition was funded through cash on hand and asset level debt raised concurrently on closing. On acquisition, goodwill of $524 million was recognized, which represents the potential for obtaining long-term contracts for the business’ unutilized capacity and production growth in certain locations. None of the goodwill acquired is deductible for tax purposes. Total revenues and net income that would have been recorded if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the year are $246 million and $16 million, respectively.
On October 16, 2018, a subsidiary of the company, together with institutional investors, acquired a 100% interest in Enercare Inc. (“Enercare”), a North American residential energy infrastructure business, for total consideration of $2.4 billion. The acquisition was funded through $2.2 billion of cash with the remainder through equity issued to certain Enercare shareholders. On acquisition, goodwill of $1.3 billion was recognized, which represents potential growth prospects and a strong market position as a key provider of residential energy infrastructure in North America. None of the goodwill recognized is deductible for tax purposes. Total revenues and net income that would have been recorded if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the year are $949 million and $5 million, respectively.
On December 7, 2018, a subsidiary of the company, together with institutional investors, acquired a 100% interest in Forest City Realty Trust, Inc. (“Forest City”) for total cash consideration of $6.9 billion. The acquisition was funded through cash on hand and asset level debt raised concurrently on closing. The non-controlling interest acquired represents equity in partially owned and consolidated operations which are not attributable to Forest City. Total revenues and net income that would have been recorded if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the year are $1.1 billion and $381 million, respectively.
On December 31, 2018, a subsidiary of the company, together with institutional investors, acquired a 100% interest in Evoque Data Center Solutions (“Evoque”), AT&T’s large-scale data center business, for total cash consideration of $1.1 billion. The acquisition was funded through cash on hand and asset level debt raised concurrently on closing. On acquisition, goodwill of $463 million was recognized, which is largely reflective of potential customer growth, arising from the business’ position as one of the largest colocation providers in the United States and the increasing rate of worldwide data consumption. All of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. Total revenues and net income that would have been recorded if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the year are $321 million and $6 million, respectively.
