Brookfield Property Partners L.P.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (“BPY” or the “partnership”) was formed as a limited partnership under the laws of Bermuda, pursuant to a limited partnership agreement dated January 3, 2013, as amended and restated on August 8, 2013. BPY is a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield Asset Management,” “BAM,” or the “parent company”) and is the primary entity through which the parent company and its affiliates own, operate, and invest in commercial and other income producing property on a global basis.

The partnership’s sole direct investments are a 37% managing general partnership units (“GP Units” or “GP”) interest in Brookfield Property L.P. (the “operating partnership”) and an interest in BP US REIT LLC, which hold the partnership’s interest in commercial and other income producing property operations. The GP Units provide the partnership with the power to direct the relevant activities of the operating partnership.

The partnership’s limited partnership units (“BPY Units” or “LP Units”) were delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) on July 26, 2021. See Note 3, Privatization of the Partnership for further information.

The registered head office and principal place of business of the partnership is 73 Front Street, 5th Floor, Hamilton HM 12, Bermuda.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a)Statement of compliance
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the partnership and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB, have been omitted or condensed.

These condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the partnership on November 2, 2021.
b)Basis of presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those used in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for accounting standards adopted as identified in Note 2(c) below. Consequently, the information included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the partnership’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented in accordance with IFRS. The results reported in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should not necessarily be regarded as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

The 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.

c)Adoption of Accounting Standards:

i) Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond June 30 2021, Amendment to IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16 Amendment”)
The partnership adopted the IFRS 16 Amendment as of January 1, 2021 in advance of its April 1, 2021 mandatory effective date. The IFRS 16 Amendment provides the partnership as lessee only with an extension to the scope of the exemption from assessing whether rent concessions related to COVID-19 meeting certain conditions are lease modifications. Such qualifying rent concessions are accounted for as if they are not lease modifications, generally resulting in the effects of rent abatements being recognized as variable lease payments. The partnership has applied the practical expedient to all such qualifying rent concessions. The adoption of the IFRS 16 Amendment did not have a material impact on the results of the partnership.

ii) Interest Rate Benchmark Reform-Phase 2, Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4, and IFRS 16 (“IBOR Phase 2 Amendments”)
The partnership adopted the IBOR Phase 2 Amendments as of January 1, 2021, its mandatory effective date. The IBOR Phase 2 Amendments provide additional guidance to address issues that will arise during the transition of benchmark interest rates. The IBOR Phase 2 Amendments primarily relate to the modification of financial instruments where the basis for determining the contractual cash flows changes as a result of IBOR reform, allowing for prospective application of the applicable benchmark interest rate, and to the application of hedge accounting, providing an exception such that changes in the formal designation and documentation of hedge accounting relationships that are needed to reflect the changes required by IBOR reform do not result in the discontinuation of hedge accounting or the designation of new hedging relationships. The partnership is progressing through its transition plan to address the impact and effect required changes as a result of amendments to the contractual terms of IBOR referenced floating-rate borrowings, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and to update hedge designations. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the partnership’s financial reporting.
        7             



d)Critical judgements and estimates in applying accounting policies
The preparation of the partnership’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the partnership’s accounting policies. The accounting policies and critical estimates and assumptions have been set out in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the partnership’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Prior to the end of the first quarter of 2020, the global outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, prompted certain responses from global government authorities across the various geographies in which the partnership owns and operates investment properties (“global economic shutdown” or “the shutdown”). Such responses included mandatory temporary closure of, or imposed limitations on, the operations of certain non-essential properties and businesses including office properties and retail malls and associated businesses which operate within these properties such as retailers and restaurants. In addition, shelter-in-place mandates and severe travel restrictions had a significant adverse impact on consumer spending and demand in the near term. As vaccination campaigns against COVID-19 ramp up, the macroeconomic outlook has improved in certain geographies with the return of more favorable economic conditions, including the removal of occupancy restrictions and government-mandated closures. However, uncertainty remains in the near-term surrounding risks of new economic restrictions and general uncertainty surrounding leasing trends, market rates, and the ability to exit investments in the partnership’s expected timeframe. These circumstances have created estimation uncertainty in the determination of the fair value of investment properties as of September 30, 2021. For the current period, we undertook a process to assess the appropriateness of the discount and terminal capitalization rates considering changes to property-level cash flows and any risk premium inherent in such cash flow changes as well as the current cost of capital and capital spreads. In addition, we reviewed and adjusted our cash flow models with a view of risk and long-term value.

Judgment is applied when determining whether indicators of impairment exist when assessing the carrying values of the partnership’s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for potential impairment as a result of COVID-19. Consideration is given to a combination of factors, including but not limited to forecasts of revenues and expenses, valuations of assets, and projections of market trends and economic environments.

NOTE 3. PRIVATIZATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
During the first quarter of 2021, Brookfield Asset Management announced a proposal to acquire all LP Units and Limited partnership units of Brookfield Office Properties Exchange LP (“Exchange LP”) Units that it did not previously own (“Privatization”) for $18.17 cash per unit, BAM class A limited voting shares (“BAM shares”), or BPY preferred units with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit (“New LP Preferred Units”, see Note 13, Capital Securities for further information ), subject to pro-ration. On July 16, 2021, the Privatization was approved by the unitholders. On July 26, 2021, BAM completed the Privatization and the acquisition of all Brookfield Property REIT Inc. (“BPYU”) Class A stock, par value $.01 per share (“BPYU Units”) that it did not previously own. The LP Units were delisted from the TSX and Nasdaq at market close on July 26, 2021. The BPYU Units were delisted from Nasdaq at market close on the same date. The New LP Preferred Units issued in the privatization began trading on the TSX under the symbol BPYP.PR.A and Nasdaq under the symbol BPYPM on July 27, 2021.

Based on unitholder elections, together with the amounts to be delivered to holders of BPYU Units, an aggregate of 51,971,192 units elected for cash, 271,358,615 units elected for BAM shares and 17,970,971 units elected for New LP Preferred Units. As holders elected to receive more BAM shares than were available under the transaction, unitholders that elected to receive BAM shares received 54.5316% of the aggregate BAM shares they elected to receive and the balance was delivered 93.05% in cash and 6.95% in New LP Preferred Units. Unitholders who made an election to receive 100% of their consideration in cash received $18.17 in cash and Unitholders who made an election to receive 100% of their consideration in New LP Preferred Units received 0.7268 New LP Preferred Units.

Cash consideration of approximately $3.0 billion was paid by the partnership, whilst BAM distributed 59,279,263 BAM Class A shares and 19,287,783 New LP Preferred Units to holders of LP Units, BPYU Units and Exchange LP Units. The cash consideration was funded to the partnership by BAM in exchange for approximately $2.5 billion non-voting common equity of a BPY subsidiary which is accounted for as non-controlling interests by BPY (“Canholdco Class B Common Shares”) with the remainder for New LP Preferred Units. The New LP Preferred Units were recognized at a fair value of approximately $474 million upon issuance and classified as a financial liability under the amortized cost basis on the balance sheet. See Note 13, Capital Securities for further information on New LP Preferred Units.

The impacts of the Privatization are disclosed separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity. The Privatization was accounted for by the partnership as a redemption of LP Units, Exchange LP Units and BPYU Units for cash and redeemable/exchangeable partnership units of the operating partnership (“Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units” or “REUs”). The difference between the carrying value of the redeemed LP Units, Exchange LP Units, and BPYU Units and the fair value of the consideration paid for was recognized in Ownership Changes and was attributed pro-rata to the remaining LP Units and the REUs. After the Privatization, all of the outstanding LP Units are owned by BAM. No Exchange LP Units or BPYU Units are held by public holders following the Privatization. In connection with the Privatization, approximately $250 million of preferred equity of BPYU was fully redeemed for cash. See Note 27, Unit-Based Compensation for information on the impact to unit-based compensation resulting from the Privatization.

Subsequent to the Privatization, there are no longer publicly traded LP Units. As such, earnings per unit is no longer presented.

(1)Property dispositions represent the fair value on date of sale.
(2)Includes right-of-use commercial properties and commercial developments of $722 million and $24 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $729 million and $10 million). Current lease liabilities of $36 million (December 31, 2020 - $35 million) have been included in accounts payable and other liabilities and non-current lease liabilities of $715 million (December 31, 2020 - $712 million) have been included in other non-current liabilities.

The partnership determines the fair value of each commercial property based upon, among other things, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases reflecting market conditions at the applicable balance sheet dates, less future cash outflows in respect of such leases. Investment property valuations are generally completed by undertaking one of two accepted income approach methods, which include either: i) discounting the expected future cash flows, generally over a term of 10 years including a terminal value based on the application of a capitalization rate to estimated year 11 cash flows; or ii) undertaking a direct capitalization approach whereby a capitalization rate is applied to estimated current year cash flows. Where there has been a recent market transaction for a specific property, such as an acquisition or sale of a partial interest, the partnership values the property on that basis. In determining the appropriateness of the methodology applied, the partnership considers the relative uncertainty of the timing and amount of expected cash flows and the impact such uncertainty would have in arriving at a reliable estimate of fair value. The partnership prepares these valuations considering asset and market specific factors, as well as observable transactions for similar assets. The determination of fair value requires the use of estimates, which are internally determined and compared with market data, third-party reports and research as well as observable conditions. Except for the impacts of the shutdown which are discussed below, there are currently no other known trends, events or uncertainties that the partnership reasonably believes could have a sufficiently pervasive impact across the partnership’s businesses to materially affect the methodologies or assumptions utilized to determine the estimated fair values reflected in this report. Discount rates and capitalization rates are inherently uncertain and may be impacted by, among other things, movements in interest rates in the geographies and markets in which the assets are located. Changes in estimates of discount and capitalization rates across different geographies and markets are often independent of each other and not necessarily in the same direction or of the same magnitude. Further, impacts to the partnership’s fair values of commercial properties from changes in discount or capitalization rates and cash flows are usually inversely correlated. Decreases (increases) in the discount rate or capitalization rate result in increases (decreases) of fair value. Such decreases (increases) may be mitigated by decreases (increases) in cash flows included in the valuation analysis, as circumstances that typically give rise to increased interest rates (e.g., strong economic growth, inflation) usually give rise to increased cash flows at the asset level. Refer to the table below for further information on valuation methods used by the partnership for its asset classes.

Commercial developments are also measured using a discounted cash flow model, net of costs to complete, as of the balance sheet date. Development sites in the planning phases are measured using comparable market values for similar assets.

In accordance with its policy, the partnership generally measures and records its commercial properties and developments using valuations prepared by management. However, for certain subsidiaries, the partnership relies on quarterly valuations prepared by external valuation professionals. Management compares the external valuations to the partnership’s internal valuations to review the work performed by the external valuation professionals. Additionally, a number of properties are externally appraised each year and the results of those appraisals are compared to the partnership’s internally prepared values.

2021 Conditions
Global Economic Shutdown
The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to cause disruption to business activities and supply chains as well as disrupted travel and adversely impacted local, regional, national and international economic conditions. As a result, future revenues and cash flows produced by these investment properties and our equity accounted investment properties continue to be more uncertain than normal. In response, the partnership has adjusted cash flow assumptions for its estimate of near-term disruption to cash flows to reflect collections, vacancy and assumptions with respect to new leasing activity. In addition, the partnership has continued to assess the appropriateness of the discount and terminal capitalization rates giving consideration to changes to property level cash flows and any risk premium inherent in such cash flow changes as well as the current cost of capital and credit spreads.

In the prior year, Securities - FVTPL included an investment in convertible preferred units of Hospitality Investors Trust. The preferred units earned a fixed cumulative dividend of 7.5% per annum compounding quarterly. Additionally, the partnership received distributions in additional convertible preferred units of Hospitality Investors Trust at 5.0% per annum compounding quarterly. The carrying value of these convertible preferred units at September 30, 2021 was nil (December 31, 2020 - $447 million). During the second quarter of 2021, the partnership gained control over the investment after converting the preferred units into common shares resulting in ownership of 100% of its common equity.

With respect to accounts receivable, the partnership recorded a $33 million (2020 - $93 million) loss allowance in commercial property operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, office rent collections have returned to pre-pandemic levels and the partnership has collected 95% of third quarter retail rents. While working to preserve profitability and cash flow, the partnership is also working with its tenants regarding requests for lease concessions and other forms of assistance, predominantly within the Core Retail segment. As of September 30, 2021, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the partnership granted rent deferrals of 1% and rent abatements of 4% of 2021 retail rent. The rent abatements granted were considered lease modifications and will be recognized prospectively over the remaining lease terms from the period the rent was abated. While the partnership anticipates that it may grant further rent concessions, such as the deferral or abatement of lease payments, such rent concession requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Where tenants are expected to be able to meet their lease obligations after concessions have been granted, the allowance for expected credit losses includes only the portion of the expected abatements that is deemed attributable to the current period, considering the weighted average remaining lease terms. Not all requests for rent relief will be granted as the partnership does not intend to forgo its legally enforceable contractual rights that exist under its lease agreements.

NOTE 29. OBLIGATIONS, GUARANTEES, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER
In the normal course of operations, the partnership and its consolidated entities execute agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third parties in transactions such as dispositions, acquisitions, sales of assets and sales of services.
Certain of the partnership’s operating subsidiaries have also agreed to indemnify their directors and certain of their officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings prevent the partnership from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that it could be required to pay third parties as 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, neither the partnership nor its consolidated subsidiaries have made significant payments under such indemnification agreements.
The partnership and its operating subsidiaries may be contingently liable with respect to litigation and claims that arise from time to time in the normal course of business or otherwise.

The partnership maintains insurance on its properties in amounts and with deductibles that it believes are in line with what owners of similar properties carry. The partnership maintains all risk property insurance and rental value coverage (including coverage for the perils of flood, earthquake and named windstorm). The partnership does not conduct its operations, other than those of equity accounted investments, through entities that are not fully or proportionately consolidated in these financial statements, and has not guaranteed or otherwise contractually committed to support any material financial obligations not reflected in these financial statements.

NOTE 30. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
a)Derivatives and hedging activities
The partnership and its operating entities use derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage financial risks, including interest rate, commodity, equity price and foreign exchange risks. The use of derivative contracts is governed by documented risk management policies and approved limits. The partnership does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. The partnership and its operating entities use the following derivative instruments to manage these risks:
foreign currency forward contracts to hedge exposures to Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, British Pound, Euro, Chinese Yuan, Brazilian Real, Indian Rupee and South Korean Won denominated net investments in foreign subsidiaries and foreign currency denominated financial assets;
interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with planned refinancings and existing variable rate debt;
interest rate caps to hedge interest rate risk on certain variable rate debt; and
cross-currency swaps to manage interest rate and foreign currency exchange rates on existing variable rate debt.

There have been no material changes to the partnership’s financial risk exposure or risk management activities since December 31, 2020. Please refer to Note 33, Financial Instruments in the December 31, 2020 annual report on Form 20-F for a detailed description of the partnership’s financial risk exposure and risk management activities.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value is defined as 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 (i.e., an exit price). Fair value measurement establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets represent a Level 1 valuation. When quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the partnership maximizes the use of observable inputs within valuation models. When all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, the valuation is classified as Level 2. Valuations that require the significant use of unobservable inputs are considered Level 3, which reflect the partnership’s market assumptions and are noted below. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

        30             


The following table outlines financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements and the level of the inputs used to determine those fair values in the context of the hierarchy as defined above:

NOTE 31. RELATED PARTIES
In the normal course of operations, the partnership enters into transactions with related parties. These transactions have been measured at exchange value and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The immediate parent of the partnership is Brookfield Property Partners Limited. The ultimate parent of the partnership is Brookfield Asset Management. Other related parties of the partnership include Brookfield Asset Management’s subsidiaries and operating entities, certain joint ventures and associates accounted for under the equity method, as well as officers of such entities and their spouses.

The partnership has a management agreement with its service providers, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Brookfield Asset Management. Pursuant to a Master Services Agreement, which was amended in connection with the Privatization, the partnership pays a base management fee (“base management fee”), to the service providers. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the base management fee was calculated one quarter in arrears based on the equity attributable to Unitholders of the Core Office, Core Retail and Corporate segments. Prior to the Privatization, the partnership paid a base management fee equal to 0.5% of the total capitalization of the partnership, subject to an annual minimum of $50 million plus annual inflation adjustments. The amount of the equity enhancement distribution is reduced by the amount by which the base management fee is greater than $50 million per annum, plus annual inflation adjustments (“equity enhancement adjustment”). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the partnership paid a base management fee of $46 million and $134 million, respectively (2020 - $19 million and $37 million).

In connection with the issuance of preferred equity units of the operating partnership to a third party in the fourth quarter of 2014, Brookfield Asset Management contingently agreed to acquire the seven-year and ten-year tranches of preferred equity units from the holder for the initial issuance price plus accrued and unpaid distributions and to exchange such units for preferred equity units with terms and conditions substantially similar to the twelve-year tranche to the extent that the market price of the LP Units is less than 80% of the exchange price at maturity.

On September 13, 2021, the partnership issued approximately 34 million Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units and non-voting perpetual preferred shares of two of the partnership’s subsidiary holding entities to affiliates of Brookfield Asset Management for aggregate consideration of $2 billion.

On July 26, 2021, Brookfield Asset Management completed its previously announced acquisition of all of the LP units of BPY it did not previously own. Cash consideration was funded to the partnership by BAM in exchange for approximately $2.5 billion of Canholdco Class B Common Shares, which is accounted for as non-controlling interests by BPY, with the remainder for New LP Preferred Units. For the three and
        31

NOTE 32. SUBSIDIARY PUBLIC ISSUERS
BOP Split was incorporated for the purpose of being an issuer of preferred shares and owning a portion of the partnership’s investment in BPO common shares. Pursuant to the terms of a Plan of Arrangement, holders of outstanding BPO Class AAA Preferred Shares Series G, H, J and K, which were convertible into BPO common shares, were able to exchange their shares for BOP Split Senior Preferred Shares, subject to certain conditions. The BOP Split Senior Preferred shares are listed on the TSX and began trading on June 11, 2014. All shares issued by BOP Split are retractable by the holders at any time for cash.

In connection with an internal restructuring completed in July 2016, the partnership and certain of its related entities agreed to guarantee all of BPO’s Class AAA Preferred Shares and all of BPO’s debt securities issued pursuant to BPO’s indenture dated December 8, 2009.

In April 2018, the partnership formed two subsidiaries, Brookfield Property Finance ULC and Brookfield Property Preferred Equity Inc. to act as issuers of debt and preferred securities, respectively. The partnership and certain of its related entities have agreed to guarantee securities issued by these entities.

In connection with the Privatization (refer to Note 3, Privatization of the Partnership for further information), the partnership formed a subsidiary, Brookfield Property Preferred L.P. (“New LP”), to issue preferred securities. The partnership and certain of its related entities have agreed to guarantee the securities issued by this entity. Refer to Note 33, New LP Preferred Units Guarantee, for further information.

NOTE 34. SEGMENT INFORMATION
a)Operating segments
IFRS 8, Operating Segments, requires operating segments to be determined based on internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of allocating resources to the segment and to assessing its performance. The partnership’s operating segments are organized into four reportable segments: i) Core Office, ii) Core Retail, iii) LP Investments and iv) Corporate. This is consistent with how the partnership presents financial information to the CODM and investors. These segments are independently and regularly reviewed and managed by the Chief Executive Officer, who is considered the CODM.

b)Basis of measurement
The CODM measures and evaluates the performance of the partnership’s operating segments based on funds from operations (“FFO”). This performance metric does not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may differ from similar metrics used by other companies and organizations. Management believes that while not an IFRS measure, FFO is the most consistent metric to measure the partnership’s financial statements and for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing its performance.

The partnership defines FFO as net income, prior to fair value gains, net, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and income taxes less non-controlling interests of others in operating subsidiaries and properties share of these items. When determining FFO, the partnership also includes its proportionate share of the FFO of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and associates.
