for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

NOTE 1. NATURE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
Brookfield Business Partners L.P. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “partnership”) is an owner and operator of business services and industrials operations (“the Business”) on a global basis. Brookfield Business Partners L.P. was established as a limited partnership under the laws of Bermuda, and organized pursuant to a limited partnership agreement as amended on May 31, 2016, and as thereafter amended. Brookfield Corporation, formerly Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield Corporation” or together with its controlled subsidiaries, excluding the partnership, “Brookfield”), is the ultimate parent of the partnership. Brookfield Business Partners L.P.’s limited partnership units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbols “BBU” and “BBU.UN”, respectively. The registered head office of Brookfield Business Partners L.P. is 73 Front Street, 5th Floor, Hamilton HM 12, Bermuda.
Brookfield Business Partners L.P.’s sole direct investment is a managing general partnership interest in Brookfield Business L.P. (the “Holding LP”), which holds the partnership’s interests in business services and industrial operations. The partnership’s consolidated equity interests include the non-voting publicly traded limited partnership units (“LP Units”) held by public unitholders and Brookfield, general partner units held by Brookfield (“GP Units”), redemption-exchange partnership units (“Redemption-Exchange Units”) in the Holding LP held by Brookfield, special limited partnership units (“Special LP Units”) in the Holding LP held by Brookfield and class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares (“BBUC exchangeable shares”) of Brookfield Business Corporation (“BBUC”), a consolidated subsidiary of the partnership, held by the public and Brookfield. Holders of the LP Units, GP Units, Redemption-Exchange Units, Special LP Units and BBUC exchangeable shares will be collectively referred to throughout as “Unitholders” unless the context indicates or requires otherwise. LP Units, GP Units, Redemption-Exchange Units, Special LP Units and BBUC exchangeable shares will be collectively referred to throughout as “Units” unless the context indicates or requires otherwise.
The partnership’s principal operations include business services operations, such as a residential mortgage insurer, healthcare services, construction operations and dealer software and technology services operations. The partnership’s principal industrial operations include advanced energy storage operations and engineered components manufacturing operations, among others. The partnership’s operations also include infrastructure services which comprise nuclear technology services operations, offshore oil services operations, modular building leasing services operations and lottery services operations. The partnership’s operations are primarily located in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States and Brazil.
Brookfield Business Corporation
On March 15, 2022, the partnership completed a special distribution whereby holders of LP Units and GP Units of record as of March 7, 2022 (the “Record Date”) received one BBUC exchangeable share, for every two Units held (the “special distribution”).
Immediately prior to the special distribution, the partnership received BBUC exchangeable shares through a distribution of BBUC exchangeable shares by the Holding LP (the “Holding LP Distribution”) to all of its unitholders. As a result of the Holding LP Distribution, (i) Brookfield and its subsidiaries received approximately 35 million BBUC exchangeable shares and (ii) the partnership received approximately 38 million BBUC exchangeable shares, which it subsequently distributed to its unitholders pursuant to the special distribution. Immediately following the special distribution, (i) holders of LP Units, excluding Brookfield, held approximately 35.3% of the issued and outstanding BBUC exchangeable shares, (ii) Brookfield and its affiliates held approximately 64.7% of the issued and outstanding BBUC exchangeable shares, and (iii) a subsidiary of the partnership owned all of the issued and outstanding class B multiple voting shares, or class B shares, which represent a 75% voting interest in BBUC, and all of the issued and outstanding class C non-voting shares, or class C shares, of BBUC. The class C shares entitle the partnership to all of the residual value in BBUC after payment in full of the amount due to holders of BBUC exchangeable shares and class B shares.
The partnership directly and indirectly controlled BBUC prior to the special distribution and continues to control BBUC subsequent to the special distribution through its interests in BBUC. The BBUC exchangeable shares are listed on the NYSE and the TSX under the symbol “BBUC”.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

As at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
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 recast annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 (filed on September 26, 2023 on SEDAR+ and EDGAR), except for the adoption of the new accounting policies and standards described below. The accounting policies the partnership applied in its recast annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 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 7, 2023.
(i)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 recast annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 recast annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
(b)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, 2023.
(i)IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts (“IFRS 17”)
The partnership adopted IFRS 17 effective January 1, 2023 with a transition date of January 1, 2022. IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts. It replaces IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts (“IFRS 4”) and related interpretations. The adoption of IFRS 17 only impacted the reported results of the partnership’s residential mortgage insurer. Refer to the partnership’s recast annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information on the partnership’s adoption of IFRS 17.
(ii)Amendments to IAS 12 Income taxes (“IAS 12”)
In May 2021, IAS 12 was amended to clarify that the initial recognition exception does not apply to the initial recognition of transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The partnership adopted these amendments on January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the partnership’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2023, IAS 12 was amended to clarify requirements relating to International Tax Reform - Pillar Two model rules. The amendments (i) introduce a temporary exception to the accounting for deferred taxes arising from the implementation of the Pillar Two model rules published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) and (ii) require additional disclosures. The amendments became effective immediately upon their issue and retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The partnership adopted these amendments for the fiscal period beginning January 1, 2023 and elected to apply the temporary exception to the accounting requirements for deferred taxes related to Pillar Two income taxes. The adoption did not have an impact on the partnership’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

As at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
(iii)Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements (“IAS 1”)
The amendments aim to provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement to disclose ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose ‘material’ accounting policies and adding guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures.
The partnership adopted these amendments on January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the partnership’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
(c)Future changes in accounting policies
(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 amendments to IAS 1 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The partnership is currently assessing the impact of these amendments.
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, 2023
Mobile Mini Solutions (“Mobile Mini”)
On January 31, 2023, the partnership’s modular building leasing services operations 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. The fair values of acquired assets, assumed liabilities and goodwill for the acquisition have been determined on a preliminary basis at the end of the reporting period.
Goodwill of $174 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 $56 million, property, plant and equipment of $241 million and other net liabilities of $52 million were acquired as part of the transaction. Transaction costs of approximately $10 million were recorded as other expenses in the unaudited interim condensed 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 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, CDOR, 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 $2,300 million with a maturity date of June 29, 2028. The balance drawn on the bilateral credit facility as at September 30, 2023 was $2,020 million (December 31, 2022: $2,100 million).
The partnership had $1 billion available on its revolving credit facility with Brookfield (the “Brookfield Credit Agreement”) as at September 30, 2023. 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. 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. 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, 2024. As at September 30, 2023, 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, 2023, there were no funds on deposit from Brookfield (December 31, 2022: $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 of the partnership as at September 30, 2023, net of deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts, were $3,214 million and $40,679 million, respectively (December 31, 2022: $3,758 million and $40,835 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 businesses 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.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

As at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
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, credit facilities and notes and debentures which are subject to fixed or floating interest rates. Most of these borrowings 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. All of 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.
In 2022, the partnership’s offshore oil services operations voluntarily entered Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings with the objective of executing a comprehensive financial restructuring to reduce debt and strengthen its financial position. Subsequently, on January 6, 2023, the partnership’s offshore oil services operations emerged from the Chapter 11 restructuring process with a significantly deleveraged balance sheet. The restructuring reprofiled the operation’s bank loan facilities to better align cash flow with debt service obligations. Following the restructuring, the partnership’s economic interest was approximately 53%.
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, 2023, $nil was drawn on the credit facilities under the Brookfield Credit Agreement (December 31, 2022: $nil).
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 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, 2023, the amount of the deposit from Brookfield was $nil (December 31, 2022: $nil) and the amount on deposit with Brookfield was $nil (December 31, 2022: $nil). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the partnership recorded interest income (expense), net of $nil on these deposits (September 30, 2022: $nil).
Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, the Holding LP pays Brookfield a quarterly base management fee, 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, 2023 was $23 million and $69 million, respectively (September 30, 2022: $23 million and $70 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, 2023 was $nil and $nil (September 30, 2022: $nil and $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.

The partnership’s consolidated equity interests include LP Units held by the public and Brookfield, GP Units held by Brookfield, Redemption-Exchange Units held by Brookfield, Special LP Units held by Brookfield and BBUC exchangeable shares held by the public and Brookfield, collectively, “Units” or “Unitholders” as described in Note 1, and $1,490 million of preferred securities held by Brookfield. As at September 30, 2023, Brookfield owned approximately 65.4% of the partnership on a fully exchanged basis.
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023, the partnership made distributions on the LP Units, GP Units, Redemption-Exchange Units and BBUC exchangeable shares of $14 million and $41 million, respectively or $0.0625 per Unit (September 30, 2022: $13 million and $36 million, respectively, or $0.0625 per Unit). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the partnership made distributions to others who have interests in the operating subsidiaries of $345 million and $1,564 million, respectively (September 30, 2022: $715 million and $2,166 million, respectively).

(a)GP Units and LP Units
LP Units entitle the holder to their proportionate share of distributions. GP Units entitle the holder the right to govern the financial and operating policies of Brookfield Business Partners L.P. The GP Units are not quantitatively material to the financial statements and therefore have not been separately presented on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

As at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and

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 in accordance with IAS 32, Financial instruments: presentation (“IAS 32”).
(c)BBUC exchangeable shares
The table below provides a continuity of BBUC exchangeable shares outstanding for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023:

Balance as at January 1, 202372,955,585

Issued as at September 30, 202372,954,912 
On March 15, 2022, the partnership completed a special distribution whereby Unitholders as of the Record Date received one BBUC exchangeable share, for every two Units held. The special distribution resulted in the issuance of 73 million BBUC exchangeable shares to public unitholders and Brookfield. Both the LP Units and GP Units issued by the partnership and the BBUC exchangeable shares issued by BBUC have the same economic attributes in all respects, except as noted below.
Each BBUC exchangeable share is exchangeable at the option of the holder for one LP Unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or for cash in an amount equal to the market value of one of the partnership’s LP Units. The partnership may elect to satisfy the exchange obligation by acquiring such tendered BBUC exchangeable shares for an equivalent number of LP Units or its cash equivalent. The partnership intends to satisfy any exchange requests on the BBUC exchangeable shares through the delivery of LP Units rather than cash. The BBUC exchangeable shares 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 exchange right is subject to the partnership’s right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the exchange request with LP Units of Brookfield Business Partners L.P. on a one-for-one basis, the BBUC exchangeable shares are classified as equity in accordance with IAS 32.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 673 BBUC exchangeable shares were exchanged into LP Units (September 30, 2022: 52,499).

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 over an initial threshold based on the volume-weighted average price of the LP Units, subject to a high-water mark.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the volume-weighted average price was $16.80 per LP Unit, which was below the current incentive distribution threshold of $31.53 per LP Unit, resulting in no incentive distribution declared during the period (September 30, 2022: $nil).

Opening balance$1,490 
Balance as at September 30, 2023$1,490 
Brookfield has subscribed for an aggregate of $15 million of preferred shares of three subsidiaries of the partnership. The preferred shares are entitled to receive a cumulative preferential cash dividend equal to 5% of their redemption value per annum as and when declared by the board of directors of the applicable entity and are redeemable at the option of the applicable entity at any time after the twentieth anniversary of their issuance. The partnership is not obligated to redeem the preferred shares and accordingly, the preferred shares have been determined to be equity of the applicable entities and are reflected as a component of non-controlling interests in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position.
The partnership has an additional commitment agreement with Brookfield, whereby Brookfield agreed to subscribe for up to $1.5 billion of preferred equity securities of subsidiaries of the partnership. The preferred securities bear fixed preferential cumulative dividends or distributions at 6% per annum and are redeemable at the option of Brookfield to the extent the partnership completes asset sales, financings or equity issuances. These preferred securities are presented as equity instruments in accordance with IAS 32, and accordingly, the partnership has classified them as a component of non-controlling interests in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position and changes in equity. As of September 30, 2023, Brookfield has subscribed for an aggregate of $1,475 million of perpetual preferred securities.
