The following table presents Adjusted EBITDA by segment:

Adjusted EBITDA3$627 $443  $1,676 $1,211 

Our Business Services segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $229 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $163 million for the same period in 2021. Results benefited from the contributions of new acquisitions, partially offset by reduced contribution from our residential mortgage insurer. Current period results included contributions from our dealer software and technology services operation and our Australian residential mortgage lender which we acquired in July 2022 and May 2022, respectively.

Our Industrials segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $228 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $171 million during the same period in 2021. Results benefited from the contributions of new acquisitions, resilient performance of our advanced energy storage operation and increased contribution from other smaller operations. Current period results included contributions from our engineered components manufacturer and our solar power solutions provider which we acquired in October 2021 and August 2021, respectively.

Our Infrastructure Services segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $205 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $140 million during the same period in 2021. Results benefited from the contributions of new acquisitions, partially offset by decreased contribution from our offshore oil services operation. Current period results included contributions from our modular building leasing services operation and lottery services operation which we acquired in December 2021 and April 2022, respectively.

The following table presents Adjusted EFO4 by segment:

Adjusted EFO for the three months ended September 30, 2022 reflected increased contributions from our Business Services, Industrials and Infrastructure Services operating segments. Adjusted EFO in the current period included an $11 million after-tax net gain on the partial sale of our investment in public securities.

Strategic Initiatives

  • Nuclear Technology Services
    In October 2022 we agreed to sell Westinghouse, our nuclear technology services operation, to a strategic consortium led by Cameco Corporation and Brookfield Renewable Partners for a total enterprise value of approximately $8 billion including proceeds from the separate sale of a non-core asset expected to be received prior to closing the transaction. We expect to generate approximately $1.8 billion in net proceeds from the sale of our 44% interest in the business. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2023, subject to certain conditions, including Brookfield Business Partners unitholder approval, regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.

    Since reaching an agreement to sell Westinghouse, unitholders representing more than 50% of the votes eligible to be cast have provided us with written support to vote in favor of the transaction. With that support, we have applied to the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) for exemptive relief from the requirements to call a special unitholder meeting to approve the transaction and to send an informational circular to unitholders, as previously described in our October 11, 2022 press release. If granted exemptive relief, we would obtain minority unitholder approval by written consent and provide additional disclosure describing the transaction to unitholders on SEDAR. In the absence of exemptive relief, a special meeting of unitholders will be held and an informational circular will be mailed to unitholders as previously contemplated, the timing of which, if required, will be provided in due course. The exemptive relief has not yet been obtained and there can be no assurance that the OSC will grant the exemptive relief.
  • Audience Measurement Services
    In October 2022 we completed the privatization of Nielsen alongside our partner in the business. Nielsen is the market leader in third-party audience measurement, data and analytics across all forms of media and content.
  • Payment Processing Services
    In August 2022 we completed the acquisition of 60% of Magnati, a Middle East based payment processing services provider, for an equity investment of approximately $190 million, of which we funded approximately $70 million for a 22% ownership interest.

Liquidity

We ended the quarter with approximately $2.5 billion of liquidity at the corporate level including $538 million of cash and liquid securities, $1.2 billion of availability on our credit facilities and $750 million of remaining availability on Brookfield Asset Management's commitment to subscribe for up to $1.5 billion of perpetual preferred equity securities.

Distribution

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.0625 per unit, payable on December 30, 2022 to unitholders of record as at the close of business on November 30, 2022.

Additional Information

The Board has reviewed and approved this news release, including the summarized unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein.

Brookfield Business Partners’ Letter to Unitholders and the Supplemental Information are available on our website https://bbu.brookfield.com under Reports & Filings.

Notes:

  1. Attributable to limited partnership unitholders, general partnership unitholders, redemption-exchange unitholders, special limited partnership unitholders and BBUC exchangeable shareholders.
  2. Net income (loss) per limited partnership unit calculated as net income (loss) attributable to limited partners divided by the average number of limited partnership units outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 which was 74.6 million and 75.5 million, respectively (September 30, 2021: 78.3 million and 78.6 million, respectively).
  3. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure of operating performance presented 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 interest income (expense), net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains (losses) on acquisition/disposition, net, transaction costs, restructuring charges, revaluation gains or losses, impairment expenses or reversals, other income (expense), net, and distributions to preferred equity holders. The Partnership’s economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investments excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests consistent with how the Partnership determines net income attributable to non-controlling interests in its IFRS consolidated statement of operating results. The Partnership believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a comprehensive understanding of the ability of its businesses to generate recurring earnings which allows users to better understand and evaluate the underlying financial performance of the Partnership’s operations and excludes items that the Partnership believes do not directly relate to revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring items necessary for business operations. Please refer to the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA included elsewhere in this release.
  4. Adjusted EFO is the Partnership’s segment measure of profit or loss and is presented 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, deferred income taxes, transaction costs, restructuring charges, 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 IFRS consolidated statement 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. Adjusted EFO allows the Partnership to evaluate its segments on the basis of return on invested capital generated by its operations and allows the Partnership to evaluate the performance of its segments on a levered basis.

Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, include statements regarding the operations, business, financial condition, expected financial results, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook of Brookfield Business Partners, as well as regarding recently completed and proposed acquisitions, dispositions, and other transactions, and the outlook for North American and international economies for the current fiscal year and subsequent periods, and include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “forecasts” or negative versions thereof and other similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.”

Although we believe that our anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information are based upon reasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Brookfield Business Partners to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the impact or unanticipated impact of general economic, political and market factors in the countries and industries in which we do business; including as a result of recessionary factors, rising interest rates, inflation and supply chain issues, as well as the ongoing novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, including any SARS-CoV-2 variants (See “Risks Associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic” in the “Risk Factors” section included in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Annual Report”)); the behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates; global equity and capital markets and the availability of equity and debt financing and refinancing within these markets; strategic actions including our ability to complete dispositions and achieve the anticipated benefits therefrom; the ability to complete and effectively integrate acquisitions into existing operations and the ability to attain expected benefits; changes in accounting policies and methods used to report financial condition (including uncertainties associated with critical accounting assumptions and estimates); the ability to appropriately manage human capital; the effect of applying future accounting changes; business competition; operational and reputational risks; technological change; changes in government regulation and legislation within the countries in which we operate; governmental investigations; litigation; changes in tax laws; ability to collect amounts owed; catastrophic events, such as earthquakes; hurricanes and pandemics/epidemics; the possible impact of international conflicts, wars and related developments including Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, terrorist acts and cyber terrorism; and other risks and factors detailed from time to time in our documents filed with the securities regulators in Canada and the United States including in the “Risks Factors” section in our 2021 Annual Report.

We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on our forward-looking statements and information, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Except as required by law, Brookfield Business Partners undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether written or oral, that may be as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Cautionary Statement Regarding the Use of Non-IFRS Measures

This news release contains references to Non-IFRS Measures. Adjusted EBITDA is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions used by other entities. We believe this measure is a useful supplemental measure that may assist investors in assessing the financial performance of Brookfield Business Partners and its subsidiaries. However, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.

References to Brookfield Business Partners are to Brookfield Business Partners L.P. together with its subsidiaries, controlled affiliates and operating entities. Brookfield Business Partners’ results include publicly held limited partnership units, redemption-exchange units, general partnership units, BBUC exchangeable shares and special limited partnership units. More detailed information on certain references made in this news release will be available in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our interim report for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 furnished on Form 6-K.
