CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
(i) Revision of comparative period disclosure
In preparing the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the partnership corrected its comparative period related party transaction disclosures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 to include revenues earned by one of its subsidiaries from an associate accounted for under the equity method, which had previously been omitted. See Note 17 for further information. The partnership concluded that the related impacts were not material, and the revisions had no impact on the partnership’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position, statements of operating results, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2024 and three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
(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, 2024. 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, 2024.

The partnership operates in countries, including Canada, which have enacted 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 are no material current tax impacts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The global minimum top-up tax is not anticipated to have a material impact on the financial position of the partnership.
(i)(b) U.S. legislation for domestic energy production and manufacturing
On August 16, 2022, the United States enacted laws providing 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 tax benefits. The tax benefits are available for qualifying activities from 2023 to 2032, subject to phase out beginning in 2030.
For qualified business activities in the partnership’s advanced energy storage operation beginning in its fiscal year 2024 subsequent to October 1, 2023, these tax benefits 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 present benefits of a similar nature as income or an offset to a related expense. The partnership has elected to present these benefits as a reduction to direct operating costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the partnership recorded a benefit of $256 million and $515 million, respectively (June 30, 2024: $nil and $nil, respectively).
(ii)Going concern
In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate and whether there are material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the partnership’s ability to continue as a going concern, management has made certain estimates and assumptions about future cash flows. These judgments considered various forward-looking factors, such as forecasted cash flows, access to financing and liquidity reserves, planned capital expenditures and debt repayment obligations. The assumptions underlying this assessment are based on actual operating results and the most relevant available information about the future, including the partnership’s strategic initiatives and business plans and may be affected by market conditions, regulatory developments and macroeconomic risks.

(c)Future changes in accounting policies
(i)Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments which clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system, add further guidance for assessing the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with contingent feature, and add new or amended disclosures relating to investments in equity instruments designated at FVOCI and financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The partnership is currently assessing the impact of these amendments.
(ii)IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 to replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”). IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 aims to improve financial reporting by requiring additional defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosures about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for the aggregation and disaggregation of items. The partnership is currently assessing the impact of these amendments.
There are currently no other future changes to IFRS® Accounting Standards 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 six months ended June 30, 2025
Industrials
Chemelex
On January 30, 2025, the partnership, together with institutional partners, acquired a 100% economic interest in Chemelex, a leading manufacturer of electric heat tracing systems. Total consideration for the business was $1,654 million, funded with debt and equity. The partnership received 100% of the voting rights, which provided the partnership with control, and accordingly, the partnership has consolidated the business for financial reporting purposes. The partnership’s economic ownership interest in the business is approximately 26%.
Goodwill of $654 million was recognized and represents the growth the partnership expects to experience from the operations. The goodwill recognized was not deductible for income tax purposes. Intangible assets of $804 million were acquired as part of the transaction, comprising customer relationships of $498 million, brand and trademarks of $198 million, and developed technology and software of $108 million. Other items include $115 million of property, plant and equipment, $109 million of inventory, and $28 million of net other liabilities. Transaction costs of approximately $34 million were recorded as other expenses in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results.
The partnership’s results from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 include revenues of $261 million and $15 million of net loss attributable to Unitholders from the acquisition. If the acquisition had been effective January 1, 2025, the partnership would have recorded revenues of $302 million and a net loss of $13 million attributable to Unitholders for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
(b)Acquisitions completed in 2024
There were no significant acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2024.

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.

A number of these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, a pre-tax net loss of $6 million and $94 million, respectively (June 30, 2024: pre-tax net gain of $101 million and $241 million, respectively) was recorded in other comprehensive income for the effective portion of cash flow hedges.

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 or BBSY 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, 2030. The balance drawn on the bilateral credit facility, net of deferred financing costs, as at June 30, 2025 was $1,116 million (December 31, 2024: $2,142 million).
The partnership had $1 billion available on its revolving credit facility with Brookfield (the “Brookfield Credit Agreement”) as at June 30, 2025. 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, CORRA, base rate or prime rate loans. The credit facility bears interest at the specified SOFR or CORRA 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, 2030, subject to automatic one year extensions occurring on April 27 of each year unless Brookfield provides written notice of its intention not to further extend their prevailing maturity date. The total available amount on the credit facility will decrease to $500 million on April 27, 2026. As at June 30, 2025, 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 June 30, 2025, there were no funds on deposit from Brookfield (December 31, 2024: $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 June 30, 2025, net of deferred financing costs and other accounting adjustments, were $1,360 million and $41,133 million, respectively (December 31, 2024: $1,616 million and $35,104 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.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
The partnership has financing arrangements within its operating businesses that trade in public markets or are held at major financial institutions. The financing arrangements primarily comprise term loans, securitization programs, 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. As at June 30, 2025, the partnership’s subsidiaries were in compliance with or had obtained waivers related to all material covenant requirements and the partnership continues to work with its businesses to monitor performance against such covenant requirements.
(i)Healthcare services operation
On May 26, 2025, the partnership’s healthcare services operation entered receivership due to an event of default under its credit agreement after unsuccessful efforts to negotiate with key stakeholders on a sustainable long-term solution for the business. Following the appointment of a receiver and transition of oversight of the operations, the partnership ceased to have control of the business and therefore, deconsolidated the net liabilities of the business, and recorded a pre-tax net gain of $236 million in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results, included in other income (expense). Upon deconsolidation, the partnership derecognized property, plant and equipment of $2,361 million, accounts payable and other liabilities of $2,008 million, non-recourse borrowings of $950 million, accounts receivable of $171 million and other net assets of $237 million related to its healthcare services operation. The results of the healthcare services operation are included in the partnership’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operating results up until the partnership lost control of the business on May 26, 2025.
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. The ultimate parent of the partnership is Brookfield Corporation. Other related parties of the partnership include Brookfield Corporation’s subsidiaries, affiliates, and operating entities.
(a)Transactions with Brookfield
The partnership had $1 billion available on its revolving credit facility with Brookfield as at June 30, 2025. As at June 30, 2025, $nil was drawn on the Brookfield Credit Agreement (December 31, 2024: $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 June 30, 2025, the net deposit from Brookfield was $nil (December 31, 2024: $nil) and the partnership incurred interest income (expense) of $nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (June 30, 2024: $nil) on these deposits.
Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement (“Master Services Agreement”), the partnership 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 LP Units 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 was $22 million and $43 million, respectively (June 30, 2024: $21 million and $44 million, respectively).

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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 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 instruments in accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation (“IAS 32”).

Brookfield entered into a commitment agreement with the partnership in 2022 to subscribe for up to $1.5 billion of perpetual preferred equity securities of subsidiaries of the partnership. The preferred securities are redeemable at the option of Brookfield to the extent the partnership completes asset sales, financings or equity issuances. These perpetual 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.

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 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 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.

Our dealer software and technology services operation is a leading provider of cloud-based software to dealerships and Original Equipment Manufacturers (“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.
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 workflow SaaS that is 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.
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 186,000 customers and generally help them buy their first home and secure commercial vehicle financing. With a pan-India distribution network of more than 598 branches, our Indian non-bank financial services operation is well established to cater to the growing credit demand in the country.
On July 17, 2025, our Indian non-bank financial services operation completed the previously announced sale of its non-core home finance lending operation for approximately $200 million of proceeds, which was retained in the business and should support accelerating growth of the core commercial vehicle lending 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.
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.

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 118,000 vehicles.
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. To mitigate risk, contracts are generally procured using a two-stage approach, which includes early engagement during the design phase prior to the execution of the main contract. 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, health, tourism 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.
Payment processing services operation

This modernization and development is intended to include enhanced entertainment offerings and integrated property expansions that incorporates 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.
Healthcare services
On May 26, 2025, our healthcare services operation entered receivership due to an event of default under its credit agreement after unsuccessful efforts to negotiate with key stakeholders on a sustainable long-term solution for the business. Following the appointment of a receiver and transition of oversight of the operations, we ceased to have control of the business and therefore, deconsolidated the net liabilities of the operation and recorded a pre-tax net gain of $236 million in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results, included in other income (expense), net.

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 January 16, 2025, the partnership’s offshore oil services completed the previously announced sale of its shuttle tanker operation for consideration of $484 million, resulting in a net gain of $214 million recorded in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results, included in gain (loss) on dispositions, net.

Our scale and reputation as a leader in engineering innovation and productivity are competitive advantages in a fragmented industry. Our solutions support a wide range of global infrastructure ranging from refineries and petrochemical plants to commercial buildings, bridges, hydroelectric dams and other power facilities. 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. We have joint control over the business and have accounted for our investment as an equity accounted investment.
Industrials
Our industrials segment includes our (i) advanced energy storage operation, (ii) engineered components manufacturing operation, (iii) water and wastewater operation, (iv) electric heat tracing systems manufacturer and (v) other industrials operations.

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 United States enacted laws providing 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 tax benefits. The tax benefits are available for qualifying activities from 2023 to 2032, subject to phase out beginning in 2030.
For qualified business activities in the partnership’s advanced energy storage operation beginning in its fiscal year 2024 subsequent to October 1, 2023, these tax benefits 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 present benefits of a similar nature as income or an offset to a related expense. The partnership has elected to present these benefits as a reduction to direct operating costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the partnership recorded a benefit of $256 million and $515 million, respectively (June 30, 2024: $nil and $nil, respectively).
In January 2025, our advanced energy storage operation raised $5 billion of new first lien debt. $4.5 billion of the proceeds were used to fund a special distribution to owners, of which our share was approximately $1.2 billion.

As described below under “Recent Developments in Our Business”, together with institutional partners, we completed the acquisition of Antylia Scientific, a leading specialty consumables and equipment manufacturer, for total consideration of $1.3 billion, of which the partnership's share of equity is $168 million for a 26% economic interest. We have accounted for our investment as an equity accounted investment.
Our solar power solutions provider is a leading distributor of solar power solutions for the distributed generation market in Brazil.
Our returnable plastic packaging operation is a leading European provider of returnable plastic packaging that has a strong competitive position given its extensive scale, diversified base of long-term customers serving multiple industries and its solid reputation for product innovation. We operate in a growing segment of the packaging space that has favorable long-term trends driven by an increased focus on sustainability and logistics. During the quarter, we met the conditions for the merger of our returnable plastic packaging operation with a Norther American packaging solutions provider to be considered highly probable. As a result, we classified the assets and liabilities of our returnable plastic packaging operation as held for sale within other assets and accounts payable and other in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position. Subsequent to quarter-end, we completed the merger, deconsolidated the net assets and received an approximate 10% economic interest in the merged business.

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.
Our roofing products manufacturer is the world’s largest provider of slate roofing tiles. With its 29 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 have joint control over the business and have accounted for our investment as an equity accounted investment.
Corporate and other
Corporate and other includes corporate cash and liquidity management, as well as activities related to the management of the partnership’s relationship with Brookfield.
Overview of Our Business
The partnership is a Bermuda exempted limited partnership registered under the Bermuda Limited Partnership Act 1883, as amended, and the Bermuda Exempted Partnerships Act 1992, as amended.
We were established by Brookfield to be its flagship public partnership for its business services and industrials operations. Our operations are primarily located in the United States, Europe, Australia, Brazil and Canada. 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 the key developments in our business since March 31, 2025:
On May 26, 2025, our healthcare services operation entered receivership due to an event of default under its credit agreement after unsuccessful efforts to negotiate with key stakeholders on a sustainable long-term solution for the business. Following the appointment of a receiver and transition of oversight of the operations, we ceased to have control of the business and therefore, deconsolidated the net liabilities of the operation and recorded a pre-tax net gain of $236 million in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results, included in other income (expense), net. The results of the healthcare services operation are included in the partnership’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operating results up until the partnership lost control of the business on May 26, 2025.
On May 27, 2025, we completed the previously announced acquisition of Antylia Scientific, a leading manufacturer and distributor of critical consumables and testing equipment serving life sciences and environmental labs for total consideration of $1.3 billion, of which the partnership's share of equity is $168 million for a 26% economic interest. We have accounted for our interest in the business as an equity accounted investment.
On July 1, 2025, we completed the merger of our returnable plastic packaging operation with a North American packaging solutions provider. We deconsolidated the net assets of our returnable plastic packaging operation and received an approximate 10% economic interest in the merged business.
On July 4, 2025, we completed the previously announced sale of a partial interest in three businesses to a new evergreen private equity fund, managed by Brookfield Asset Management. The transferred interests included approximately 12% of our engineered components manufacturing operation, approximately 7% of our dealer software and technology services operation, and approximately 5% of our work access services operation. In exchange, the partnership will receive units of the new evergreen fund with an initial redemption value of approximately $690 million. The units are expected to be redeemed for cash during the 18-month period following the initial closing of the fund, expected later this year.
On July 27, 2025 we entered into a partnership to privatize First National Financial Corporation, a leading publicly-listed Canadian residential and multi-family mortgage lender, for $2.7 billion. The transaction will be funded with approximately $1.3 billion of equity, of which our share is expected to be approximately $145 million for an 11% interest in the business. The transaction is expected to close later this year, subject to customary closing conditions.
Outlook
We target long-term capital appreciation driven by our ability to acquire for value and execute on our operational value creation plans to improve performance and enhance cash flows. 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. Most of our global operations are market leaders, largely providing goods and services where they are sourced, and as a result, are not overly reliant on cross-border trade. As global trade policies continue to evolve, we do not expect the impact of tariffs to have a material effect on the cash flows of our operations. Where there are effects, we anticipate we will be able to implement operational and commercial plans to mitigate the impacts. An overall higher inflationary environment could delay long-term investment decisions, impact growth and result in a more pronounced pullback in global demand. While we have seen the resiliency of our operations demonstrated through past cycles, we are working with all our management teams to ensure our businesses are well positioned in any economic environment.
Business services
Our residential mortgage insurer continues to perform well. While the overall Canadian housing market has softened, demand across the business’ market segment remains strong driven by access to new mortgage products, including extended 30-year amortization mortgages which has benefited homebuyer affordability. As a result, volumes of new insurance premiums written by the business have continued to grow, increasing over 20% compared to the prior year, while losses on claims remain well below historical average levels. The business remains well capitalized to manage the impacts of any correction in home prices and potentially higher losses on claims.
We continue to make progress on strengthening the leadership position and enhancing service levels at our dealer software and technology services operation. The business signed several contract renewals and extensions with larger dealer groups in the U.S. during the quarter, and churn levels appear to be stabilizing. Work that is underway to upgrade and modernize the technology stack is expected to continue for the next 12-18 months and the costs associated with these initiatives will continue to be reflected in our near-term financial performance.
Last year, we completed the acquisition of Network International, the leading digital payment processor in the Middle East, and shortly thereafter we combined the business with our existing payment processor in the region. Since the combination, we have hired a new executive leadership team and launched our integration workstreams focused on revenue, technology and cost related synergies. The increased scale of the combined platform is performing ahead of expectations, building on a strong track record of growth in underlying performance and benefiting from strong secular tailwinds particularly in the business’ core United Arab Emirates market.
Infrastructure services
At our lottery services operation, we recently signed several new contracts and extensions with lottery operators in the U.S. and Canada which should contribute to increased annual earnings later this year as the delivery of other recent wins for lottery operators in the U.K. and New Zealand continue to progress. While industry fundamentals remain resilient, lower lottery jackpot sizes and fewer hardware deliveries compared to prior year is reflected in our results. We are continuing to support the scaling of the business’ digital lottery offerings following the recent realignment of the digital lottery operations under a new leadership team aimed at strengthening the position in this high-growth area to support expansion into global markets.
Performance at our work access services has been impacted by ongoing market softness primarily within the commercial end markets resulting in reduced demand for the business’ higher margin rental services. Earlier this year we established a new transformation office comprising key leaders across the organization to reposition the business with a focus on expansion into higher growth segments of the market. While still early days, these efforts should help accelerate progress on our value creation plans at a time when smaller scale competitors are struggling in a challenging market environment.
Industrials
Our advanced energy storage operation is performing exceptionally well. Growing demand for advanced batteries and strong operational execution continue to drive increased underlying results. The business’ global share of low-voltage batteries in its addressable market is over 30% today and its share of advanced batteries is even greater. As part of its efforts to further strengthen its market leadership position, the business recently announced plans to establish a new U.S. manufacturing technology and training center, expand advanced battery manufacturing in the U.S. and enhance its U.S. recycling and critical mineral recovery capabilities. These initiatives are part of the business’ longer-term U.S. reinvestment plans supported by its ongoing cash flow generation. 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.
Volumes at our engineered components manufacturer are showing signs of an early stage improvement across many of its international and North American end markets. While demand remains well below normal cycle levels, the business is generating positive cash flow and improved margins driven by ongoing cost and working capital optimization initiatives. These actions position the business well for a broad based recovery in market conditions.
Our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer is off to a good start and carve-out activities are progressing well. We appointed a new leadership team, rebranded the business and established a value creation office to support the execution of our operational improvement plans which include optimizing its cost structure, upgrading its manufacturing capabilities and repositioning the commercial strategy. Underlying performance has been strong reflecting resilient aftermarket driven demand and favorable mix of higher margin product sales.

(1)Average number of LP Units outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was 88.9 million and 84.5 million, respectively (June 30, 2024: 74.3 million).
Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net income was $135 million, with $26 million of net income attributable to Unitholders ($0.12 per LP Unit). For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net income was $65 million, with $20 million of net loss attributable to Unitholders (loss of $0.10 per LP Unit).
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income was $391 million, with $106 million of net income attributable to Unitholders ($0.49 per LP Unit). For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net income was $268 million, with $28 million of net income attributable to Unitholders ($0.13 per LP Unit).
Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, revenues decreased by $5,251 million to $6,695 million, compared to $11,946 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Revenues from our business services segment decreased by $5,206 million, primarily due to the disposition of our road fuels operation in July 2024 which reduced revenues by $5,027 million. Revenues from our infrastructure services segment decreased by $178 million, primarily due to the disposition of our offshore oil services’ shuttle tanker operation in January 2025. Revenues from our industrials segment increased by $133 million primarily due to a full period of contributions from our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer acquired in January 2025.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, revenues decreased by $10,517 million to $13,444 million, compared to $23,961 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors described above, combined with reduced revenues at our advanced energy storage operation driven by a reduction in overall battery volumes as a result of lower automotive production levels and headwinds in Asia.
Direct operating costs
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, direct operating costs decreased by $5,463 million to $5,465 million, compared to $10,928 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of our road fuels operation in July 2024 which reduced direct operating costs by $4,975 million, combined with $256 million of tax benefits recognized at our advanced energy storage operation during the period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, direct operating costs decreased by $10,939 million to $10,867 million, compared to $21,806 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors described above.
General and administrative expenses
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expenses decreased by $36 million to $271 million, compared to $307 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of business dispositions completed over the last twelve months including our road fuels operation in July 2024.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expenses decreased by $42 million to $582 million, compared to $624 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors described above.
Interest income (expense), net
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net interest expense increased by $23 million to $801 million, compared to $778 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the impact of higher borrowings in our advanced energy storage operation and borrowings associated with our recently acquired electric heat tracing systems manufacturer. These factors were partially offset by reduced borrowings as a result of dispositions completed over the last twelve months and the repayment of borrowings on our corporate credit facilities in the first quarter of 2025.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net interest expense decreased by $3 million to $1,571 million, compared to $1,574 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to reduced borrowings as a result of dispositions and the repayment of borrowings on our corporate credit facilities, partially offset by the impact of higher borrowings in our advanced energy storage operation.
Gain (loss) on dispositions, net
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net gain on dispositions completed within our operations was $6 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net gain on dispositions was $220 million primarily driven by a $214 million gain recognized from the disposition of our offshore oil services’ shuttle tanker operation.
Other income (expense), net
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net other expense increased by $3 million to $103 million, compared to $100 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. 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 June 30, 2025, the components of other income (expense), net include $236 million of net gain recognized upon deconsolidation of our healthcare services operation, $183 million of expenses related to employee incentive payments linked to the realization of value at our advanced energy storage operation, $59 million of net revaluation losses, $57 million of business separation expenses, stand-up costs and restructuring charges, $19 million of net loss on debt modification and extinguishment, $3 million of transaction costs and $18 million of other expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the components of other income (expense), net include $82 million related to provisions recorded at our construction operation, $49 million of net gains on debt modification and extinguishment, $41 million of business separation expenses, stand-up costs and restructuring charges, $21 million of net revaluation gains, $8 million of transaction costs and $39 million of other expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net other expense increased by $202 million to $186 million, compared to net other income of $16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the components of other income (expense), net include $236 million of net gain recognized upon deconsolidation of our healthcare services operation, $183 million of expenses related to employee incentive payments linked to the realization of value at our advanced energy storage operation, $135 million of business separation expenses, stand-up costs and restructuring charges, $125 million of gains recorded at our offshore oil services due to completed upgrades and unrealized gains recorded on reclassification of property, plant and equipment to finance leases, $110 million of net revaluation losses, $38 million of transaction costs, $22 million of net loss on debt modification and extinguishment and $59 million of other expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the components of other income (expense), net include $179 million of net revaluation gains, $82 million related to provisions recorded at our construction operation, $61 million of business separation expenses, stand-up costs and restructuring charges, $50 million of other income related to a distribution at our entertainment operation, $38 million of net gains on debt modifications and extinguishments, $29 million of transaction costs and $79 million of other expenses.
Income tax (expense) recovery
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, current income tax expense decreased by $3 million to $119 million, compared to $122 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in current income tax expense was primarily due to lower taxable income in our advanced energy storage operation and lower profitability in our residential mortgage insurer due to timing of revenue recognition under IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (“IFRS 17”), partially offset by higher current income tax expense within our engineered components manufacturing operation and our modular building leasing services due to increased profitability. Deferred income tax recovery decreased by $55 million to $184 million, compared to $239 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in deferred income tax recovery was primarily due to a non-recurring deferred tax recovery recognized in the prior period at our advanced energy storage operation, combined with utilization of existing tax losses and decreased recognition of deferred tax assets within our construction operation.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, current income tax expense increased by $104 million to $316 million, compared to $212 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in current income tax expense was primarily due to a non-recurring tax recovery recognized in the prior period combined with withholding tax expense incurred relating to a special distribution to owners from our advanced energy storage operation. Deferred income tax recovery decreased by $96 million to $248 million, compared to $344 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in deferred income tax recovery was primarily due to the derecognition of tax losses in our solar power solutions operation and tax attributes in our engineered components manufacturing operation, combined with the decrease in recognition of deferred tax assets within our construction operation. This was partially offset by an increase in deferred tax recovery at our natural gas production operation due to recognition of tax losses.

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 decreased by $713 million to $11,658 million as at June 30, 2025, compared to $12,371 million as at December 31, 2024. The balance comprises marketable securities, loans and notes receivable, derivative assets and other financial assets. The decrease was primarily due to a net reduction in the mortgages receivable at our Australian asset manager and lender as a result of higher loan repayments compared to new loan originations, combined with a reduction in other financial assets within our offshore oil services.
The following table presents financial assets by segment as at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(US$ MILLIONS) | | Business services | | Infrastructure services | | Industrials | | Corporate and other | | Total |
June 30, 2025 | | $ | 11,328 | | | $ | 31 | | | $ | 297 | | | $ | 2 | | | $ | 11,658 | |
December 31, 2024 | | $ | 11,713 | | | $ | 253 | | | $ | 404 | | | $ | 1 | | | $ | 12,371 | |
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable, net increased by $869 million to $7,148 million as at June 30, 2025, compared to $6,279 million as at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to timing of billed receivables within our offshore oil services operation, our water and wastewater operation and our engineered components manufacturer, combined with the acquisition of our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer. Included in accounts receivable is an additional $515 million recorded at our advanced energy storage operation related to tax benefits for the current period.
Inventory and other assets
Inventory and other assets increased by $80 million to $5,808 million as at June 30, 2025, compared to $5,728 million as at December 31, 2024. Inventory increased by $454 million primarily due to higher units on hand at our advanced energy storage operation, combined with the acquisition of our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer in January 2025. This was mostly offset by a $374 million decrease in other assets primarily due to the disposition of our offshore oil services’ shuttle tanker operation in January 2025, which was previously classified as assets held for sale. The decrease in other assets was partially offset by the reclassification to assets held for sale of our returnable plastic packaging operation and higher other assets within our offshore oil services due to the recognition of finance lease receivables.
Property, plant & equipment and intangible assets
PP&E decreased by $2,641 million to $10,591 million as at June 30, 2025, compared to $13,232 million as at December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to the deconsolidation of our healthcare services operation which reduced PP&E by $2,320 million and the reclassification of certain vessels within our offshore oil services from PP&E to finance leases of $1,419 million. This was partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange movements of $746 million. As at June 30, 2025, PP&E included $772 million of right-of-use assets (December 31, 2024: $874 million).
Intangible assets increased by $841 million to $19,158 million as at June 30, 2025, compared to $18,317 million as at December 31, 2024. The increase was due to net additions of $881 million primarily driven by the acquisition of our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer and the impact of foreign exchange movements of $898 million. These factors were partially offset by regular amortization expense of $792 million and reclassification of $146 million of intangible assets to assets held for sale related to our returnable plastic packaging operation.
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 production costs associated with developing or enhancing proprietary technology as well as maintenance of computer and hosting equipment at our dealer software and technology services operation 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 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 were $398 million and $633 million, respectively (June 30, 2024: $394 million and $954 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 $215 million to $1,959 million as at June 30, 2025, compared to $1,744 million as at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of deferred tax assets in our advanced energy storage operation, our natural gas production operation, and our residential mortgage insurer combined with the impact of foreign exchange movements within our operations.
Equity accounted investments
Equity accounted investments increased by $72 million to $2,397 million as at June 30, 2025, compared to $2,325 million as at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Antylia Scientific in May 2025, partially offset by distributions received from equity accounted investments within our operations.
Goodwill
Goodwill increased by $1,048 million to $13,287 million as at June 30, 2025, compared to $12,239 million as at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer and the impact of foreign exchange movements.
Accounts payable and other
Accounts payable and other decreased by $2,925 million to $13,766 million as at June 30, 2025, compared to $16,691 million as at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the deconsolidation of our healthcare services operation in May 2025 which reduced liabilities by $1,986 million, combined with the disposition of our offshore oil services' shuttle tanker operation, whose liabilities were previously classified as liabilities held for sale.
Corporate and non-recourse borrowings
Borrowings are discussed in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A.
Equity attributable to Unitholders
As at June 30, 2025, 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 2024 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 2024 Annual Report.
During the second quarter of 2025, the volume-weighted average price was $23.77 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.
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. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, 184 BBUC exchangeable shares were exchanged into LP Units (June 30, 2024: 3).
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 six months ended June 30, 2025, the partnership repurchased 3,559,221 LP Units (June 30, 2024: nil LP Units).
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, Brookfield Corporation did not purchase any LP Units under the partnership’s NCIB (June 30, 2024: 15,211 LP Units).
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, BBUC repurchased 2,957,523 BBUC exchangeable shares under its NCIB (June 30, 2024: nil exchangeable shares).
As at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total number of Units outstanding are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
UNITS | | June 30, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
GP Units | | 4 | | | 4 | |
LP Units (1) | | 88,828,511 | | | 74,281,767 | |
Non-controlling interests: | | | | |
Redemption-Exchange Units (1) | | 51,599,716 | | | 69,705,497 | |
BBUC exchangeable shares | | 69,996,739 | | | 72,954,446 | |
Special LP Units | | 4 | | | 4 | |
____________________________________
(1)In February 2025, the partnership issued 18,105,781 LP Units to wholly-owned subsidiaries of Brookfield Wealth Solutions in exchange for 18,105,781 Redemption-Exchange Units, pursuant to the exercise of the Redemption-Exchange Mechanism.
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 consolidated statements of operating results prepared using IFRS Accounting Standards. 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Net income attributable to Unitholders for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $26 million, representing an increase of $46 million compared to net loss attributable to Unitholders of $20 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Net income attributable to Unitholders for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $106 million, representing an increase of $78 million compared to net income attributable to Unitholders of $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $591 million, representing an increase of $67 million compared to $524 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 reflecting increased performance on a same store basis and contribution from recently completed acquisitions. Prior period results included $71 million, at our share, of contribution from disposed operations including our offshore oil services’ shuttle tanker operation which was sold in January 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,182 million representing an increase of $114 million compared to $1,068 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the same factors described above, combined with tax benefits recorded at our advanced energy storage operation.

Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Adjusted EFO in our business services segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $105 million, representing an increase of $19 million, compared to $86 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in Adjusted EFO was primarily due to the factors described below.
Adjusted EFO in our business services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $222 million, representing a decrease of $32 million, compared to $254 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA in our business services segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $205 million, representing an increase of $23 million, compared to $182 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Results in the prior period reflected the impact of reduced contribution from our dealer software and technology services operation and contribution from our road fuels operation which was sold in July 2024.
Our residential mortgage insurer contributed $49 million to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $62 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Performance during the quarter reflects the timing impact of slower revenue recognition under IFRS 17 accounting standards due to revised model assumptions given current macroeconomic uncertainty and consensus view of the Canadian housing market. Volumes of new insurance premiums written increased compared to the prior period as first-time homebuyer demand remains strong driven by the introduction of new mortgage products and improved affordability. Losses on claims remain below historical average levels supported by borrowers' ability to self-cure delinquencies.
Our dealer software and technology services operation contributed $43 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $18 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Results in the prior period included $38 million of costs, at our share, incurred and one-time billing credits related to a cybersecurity incident. Excluding the impact, current quarter performance reflects elevated costs associated with ongoing investments in product modernization and technology upgrades. Churn levels appear to be stabilizing and during the quarter, the business signed several contract renewals and extensions with larger dealer groups in the U.S.
Our healthcare services operation contributed $7 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $16 million for three months ended June 30, 2024. In May 2025, the business entered into receivership which resulted in a loss of control and deconsolidation of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA in our business services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $418 million, representing an increase of $31 million compared to $387 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the same factors described above.
Infrastructure services
The following table presents Adjusted EFO and Adjusted EBITDA for our infrastructure services segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Total equity | | $ | 5,717 | | | $ | 5,760 | |
Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Adjusted EFO in our infrastructure services segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $38 million, representing a decrease of $38 million, compared to $76 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lost contributions from the shuttle tanker operation in our offshore oil services, which was sold in January 2025, partially offset by lower interest expense due to reduced borrowings within our operations.
Adjusted EFO in our infrastructure services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $204 million, representing an increase of $56 million, compared to $148 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA in our infrastructure services segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $109 million, representing a decrease of $48 million, compared to $157 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Prior period results included contribution from our offshore oil services’ shuttle tanker operation which was sold in January 2025.
Our modular building leasing services operation contributed $38 million to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $41 million for three months ended June 30, 2024. Market weakness in the U.K., Germany and France contributed to lower units on rent during the quarter. Despite reduced activity levels, the business continues to advance operational and commercial improvement initiatives which are supporting profitability. Growth of value added products and services also contributed to results in the quarter.
Our lottery services operation contributed $32 million to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $38 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Performance during the quarter reflects lower contribution from a joint venture, combined with the impact of fewer hardware deliveries and lower earnings related to the size of lottery jackpot levels compared to the prior period. Industry fundamentals remain resilient as the business continues to pursue a strong pipeline of new commercial opportunities and execute the ramp-up of recently awarded contracts.
Adjusted EBITDA in our infrastructure services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $213 million, representing a decrease of $87 million compared to $300 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors described above.

Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Adjusted EFO in our industrials segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $154 million, representing a decrease of $52 million, compared to $206 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in Adjusted EFO was primarily due to $103 million net gains recognized on the disposition of our Canadian aggregates production operation and the sale of public securities included in prior period results.
Adjusted EFO in our industrials segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $284 million, representing a decrease of $102 million, compared to $386 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA in our industrials segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $307 million, representing an increase of $94 million, compared to $213 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Current period results benefited from strong operating performance and $71 million of tax benefits, at our share, at our advanced energy storage operation, as well as contribution from recent acquisitions including our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer which was acquired in January 2025. Prior period results included contribution from our Canadian aggregates production operation which was sold in June 2024.
Our advanced energy storage operation contributed $228 million to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $140 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Results for the quarter included $71 million of tax benefits. Strong commercial and operational execution combined with growing demand for higher margin advanced batteries contributed to performance, which was partially offset by lower overall volumes primarily driven by lower automotive production levels and headwinds in Asia.
Our engineered components manufacturing operation contributed $34 million to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $33 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, reflecting improved margin performance driven by cost optimization and execution of commercial initiatives. While demand remains below normal cycle levels, volumes during the quarter improved across many international and North American end markets.
Adjusted EBITDA in our industrials segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $611 million, representing an increase of $170 million compared to $441 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the factors 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 were $22 million and $43 million, respectively, compared to $21 million and $44 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. General and administrative costs comprise management fees and corporate expenses, including audit and other expenses.
Adjusted EFO in the current period included lower interest expense due to repayments of borrowings on our corporate credit facilities earlier in the year.
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 consolidated statements of operating results prepared using IFRS Accounting Standards, 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 consolidated statements of operating results prepared using IFRS Accounting Standards. 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 results prepared using IFRS Accounting Standards, 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.
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 using IFRS Accounting Standards. However, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure that we use to evaluate the performance of our operations.

Discussion of Reconciling Items
Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
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 primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets at our modular building leasing services and our lottery services operation. Depreciation and amortization expense in our business services segment is primarily related to amortization of intangible assets at our dealer software and technology services operation and fleet management and car rental services. 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 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 $42 million to $767 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $809 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the recent dispositions including our offshore oil services' shuttle tanker operation in January 2025 and our road fuels operation in July 2024, partially offset by higher contribution from our advanced energy storage operation.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $120 million to $1,497 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $1,617 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors described above.
Income tax (expense) recovery, net was a net income tax recovery of $65 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $117 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower taxable income and a non-recurring tax recovery recognized in the prior period at our advanced energy storage operation, lower profitability at our residential mortgage insurer due to timing of revenue recognition under IFRS 17, combined with utilization of existing tax losses and decreased recognition of deferred tax assets within our construction operation. This was partially offset by higher current tax expense within our engineered components manufacturing operation and our modular building leasing services due to increased profitability.
Income tax (expense) recovery, net was a net income tax expense of $68 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to an income tax recovery of $132 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to a non-recurring tax recovery recognized in the prior period combined with a withholding tax expense incurred relating to a special distribution to owners from our advanced energy storage operation, derecognition of tax losses in our solar power solutions operation and tax attributes in our engineered components manufacturing operation and decreased recognition of deferred tax assets within our construction operation. This increase was partially offset by deferred tax recovery in our natural gas production operation due to recognition of tax losses.
Interest expense, net increased by $23 million to $801 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $778 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the impact of higher borrowings in our advanced energy storage operation combined with borrowings associated with our recently acquired electric heat tracing systems manufacturer. These factors were partially offset by reduced borrowings within our operations a result of dispositions and the repayment of borrowings on our corporate credit facilities in the first quarter of 2025.
Interest expense, net decreased by $3 million to $1,571 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $1,574 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to reduced borrowings within our operations as a result of dispositions and the repayment of borrowings on our corporate credit facilities in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by the impact of higher borrowings in our advanced energy storage operation.
Amounts attributable to non-controlling interests increased by $150 million to $1,223 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $1,073 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in amounts attributable to non-controlling interests was primarily due to the tax benefits recorded at our advanced energy storage operation during the period and the acquisition of our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer in January 2025, partially offset by the impact of dispositions completed over the last twelve months.
Amounts attributable to non-controlling interests increased by $241 million to $2,470 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $2,229 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the same factors described above.

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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

(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 $42,493 million as at June 30, 2025, compared to $36,720 million as at December 31, 2024. The increase of $5,773 million was primarily due to $5 billion of new debt raised at our advanced energy storage operation to fund a special distribution to owners ($1.2 billion to the partnership), combined with the recent acquisition of our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer.
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 56 years. The weighted average maturity of total borrowings as at June 30, 2025 was 5.8 years and the weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding was 7.5%, including the impact of hedges. Approximately 69% of our non-recourse borrowings are either fixed or hedged through derivatives or naturally hedged within our operations. As at June 30, 2025, we have $43,609 million in borrowings with an additional capacity of $9,054 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. As at June 30, 2025, the partnership’s operations were in compliance with or had obtained waivers related to all material covenant requirements and we continue to work with our 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 or BBSY 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, 2030, and the partnership had $1,230 million available as at June 30, 2025.
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, CORRA, base rate or prime rate loans. The credit facility bears interest at the specified SOFR or CORRA 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, 2030, subject to automatic one year extensions occurring on April 27 of each year unless Brookfield provides written notice of its intention not to further extend their prevailing maturity date. The total available amount on the credit facility will decrease to $500 million on April 27, 2026. As at June 30, 2025, 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 June 30, 2025, the amount of the deposit from Brookfield was $nil (December 31, 2024: $nil) and the amount on deposit with Brookfield was $nil (December 31, 2024: $nil).
Brookfield entered into a commitment agreement with the partnership in 2022 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 the 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 June 30, 2025, the amount subscribed from subsidiaries of the partnership was $725 million (December 31, 2024: $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 June 30, 2025, distributions of $13 million have been declared on the perpetual preferred equity securities (June 30, 2024: $13 million).
The table below outlines the partnership’s consolidated net debt-to-capital as at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

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 July 31, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.0625 per unit payable on September 29, 2025 to Unitholders of record as at the close of business on August 29, 2025.
During the second quarter of 2025, the volume-weighted average price was $23.77 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 June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,329 million, compared to $3,239 million as at December 31, 2024. The net cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, |

Net change in cash classified within assets held for sale | | (15) | | | — | |
Change in cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 90 | | | $ | (293) | |
Cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities
Total cash flow provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,298 million compared to cash flow provided by operating activities of $423 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Net of non-cash working capital changes, the cash flow provided by operating activities was $1,206 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily attributable to the cash generated by our advanced energy storage operation and our residential mortgage insurer.
Cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities
Total cash flow provided by financing activities was $533 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to total cash flow provided by financing activities of $530 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our financing activities included net proceeds from non-recourse borrowings of the partnership of $4,948 million, primarily related to debt raised which funded the special distribution at our advanced energy storage operation and the acquisition of our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer. Financing activities also included capital provided by others who have interests in operating subsidiaries of $675 million, primarily related to the acquisition of our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer and the investment in our specialty consumables and equipment manufacturer. This was partially offset by $3,797 million of distributions and capital paid to others who have interests in operating subsidiaries, primarily related to the special distribution at our advanced energy storage operation, combined with repayments of corporate borrowings of $1,440 million using proceeds from our advanced energy storage operation’s special distribution and the disposition of our offshore oil services’ shuttle tanker operation.
Cash flow provided by (used in) investing activities
Total cash flow used in investing activities was $1,939 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to total cash flow used in investing activities of $1,084 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cash flows used in investing activities were primarily related to the acquisition of our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer. Investing activities also included capital expenditures for PP&E and intangible assets of $969 million primarily at our offshore oil services operation, which is contractually reimbursed by our customer, as well as at our advanced energy storage operation. This was partially offset by proceeds of $484 million received from the disposition of our offshore oil services’ shuttle tanker 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 June 30, 2025, the total outstanding amount was approximately $2.0 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. Any known losses have been brought to account.
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 a cybersecurity incident in 2024 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 June 30, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1)Includes approximately $539 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.
The following table presents a summary as at June 30, 2025 of our Unitholder equity positions by functional currency and our derivative contract net investment hedges:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Net Unitholder Equity by Functional Currency |

FX Contracts – US$ | | | | (583) | | | (250) | | | (146) | | | — | | | (33) | | | (54) | | | — | |
As at June 30, 2025, approximately 21% 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, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Impact of tax legislation
(i)Global minimum top-up tax
The partnership operates in countries, including Canada, which have enacted 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 are no material current tax impacts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The global minimum top-up tax is not anticipated to have a material impact on the financial position of the partnership.
(ii)U.S. legislation for domestic energy production and manufacturing
On August 16, 2022, the United States enacted laws providing 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 tax benefits. The tax benefits are available for qualifying activities from 2023 to 2032, subject to phase out beginning in 2030.
For qualified business activities in the partnership’s advanced energy storage operation beginning in its fiscal year 2024 subsequent to October 1, 2023, these tax benefits 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 present benefits of a similar nature as income or an offset to a related expense. The partnership has elected to present these benefits as a reduction to direct operating costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the partnership recorded a benefit of $256 million and $515 million, respectively (June 30, 2024: $nil and $nil, respectively).
Controls and procedures
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Excluded from our evaluation were controls over financial reporting at our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer acquired on January 30, 2025. The financial statements of this business constitute approximately 3% of total assets, 5% of net assets, less than 2% of revenues and 15% of net income of the consolidated financial statements of our partnership as at and for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Future changes in accounting policies
(i)Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments which clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system, add further guidance for assessing the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with contingent feature, and add new or amended disclosures relating to investments in equity instruments designated at FVOCI and financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The partnership is currently assessing the impact of these amendments.
(ii)IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 to replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”). IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 aims to improve financial reporting by requiring additional defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosures about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for the aggregation and disaggregation of items. The partnership is currently assessing the impact of these amendments.
There are currently no other future changes to IFRS Accounting Standards with expected material impacts on the partnership.
