“Our operations were resilient and we achieved great progress on our growth initiatives in 2022,” said Cyrus Madon, CEO of Brookfield Business Partners. “Our solid financial results in a challenging environment demonstrate the quality of our operations. We are well positioned to continue building value in 2023 as we execute our operational improvement plans.”

Net income (loss) per limited partnership unit2$0.04$(0.25) $0.73$3.28
      
Adjusted EBITDA3$659$550  $2,335$1,761

Net income attributable to unitholders for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $146 million ($0.73 per limited partnership unit) compared to net income of $643 million ($3.28 per limited partnership unit) in the prior year. Prior year results included net gains on the partial sale of our graphite electrode operation and public securities.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $2,335 million compared to $1,761 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, reflecting increased contribution from our Business Services, Industrials and Infrastructure Services segments.

The following table presents Adjusted EBITDA by segment:

Corporate and Other (38) (36)  (138) (126)
Adjusted EBITDA3$659 $550  $2,335 $1,761 

Our Infrastructure Services segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $872 million in 2022, compared to $613 million in 2021. Results benefited from the contribution of recent acquisitions and increased performance at our nuclear technology services operation, partially offset by decreased contribution from offshore oil services. Current year results included contribution from our modular building leasing services operation and lottery services operation which we acquired in December 2021 and April 2022, respectively.

Our Industrials segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $879 million in 2022, compared to $713 million in 2021. Results benefited from the contribution of recent acquisitions and strong performance at our water and wastewater services operation. Current year results included contribution from our solar power solutions provider and engineered components manufacturing operation which we acquired in August 2021 and October 2021, respectively.

Our Business Services segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $722 million in 2022, compared to $561 million in 2021. Results benefited from the contribution of recent acquisitions and strong performance at our residential mortgage insurance operation, partially offset by reduced contribution from our non-bank financial services operation in India. Current year results included contribution from our Australian residential mortgage lender and dealer software and technology services operation which we acquired in May 2022 and July 2022, respectively.

Adjusted EFO for the year ended December 31, 2022 reflected increased contribution from our Infrastructure Services and Business Services operating segments. Adjusted EFO in the current year included $57 million in after-tax net gains primarily related to the partial sale of public securities. Prior year results included after-tax gains of $476 million recognized in our Industrials segment on the partial sale of our graphite electrode operation and public securities.

Strategic Initiatives

  • Nuclear Technology Services
    During the quarter we obtained exemptive relief from the Ontario Securities Commission from the requirements to call a special unitholder meeting to approve the proposed sale of Westinghouse, our nuclear technology services operation. In December we filed a disclosure document in connection with the sale and have since received written consents from unitholders representing more than 50% of the votes eligible to be cast to vote in favor of the transaction. As a result, we have satisfied the requirement for minority approval and expect to close the sale in the second half of 2023, subject to regulatory approvals.
  • Offshore Oil Services
    In January our offshore oil services operation emerged from the Chapter 11 restructuring process with a significantly deleveraged balance sheet. The restructuring reprofiled the company’s bank loan facilities to better align cash flow with debt service obligations and equitized more than $1 billion in junior debt obligations. Following the restructuring, we, along with our institutional partners, own 88% of the post-reorganization equity. Our share of the post-reorganization equity is 53%.
  • Unit Repurchase Program
    For the year ended December 31, 2022 we repurchased 2,525,490 of Brookfield Business Partners L.P. units under our normal course issuer bid (NCIB).

Liquidity

We ended the year with approximately $1.6 billion of liquidity at the corporate level including $392 million of cash and liquid securities and $1.2 billion of availability on our credit facilities.

Distribution

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.0625 per unit, payable on March 31, 2023 to unitholders of record as at the close of business on February 28, 2023.

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 twelve months ended December 31, 2022 which was 74.6 million and 75.3 million, respectively (December 31, 2021: 77.6 million and 78.3 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.

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, investors and other readers 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 achievements 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: general economic conditions and risks relating to the economy, including unfavorable changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, inflation and volatility in the financial markets; 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, including the anticipated sale of Westinghouse; 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 including COVID-19; the possible impact of international conflicts, wars and related developments including Russia’s invasion of 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 annual report for the year ended December 31, 2022 to be filed on Form 20-F.

Statements relating to “reserves” are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described herein can be profitably produced in the future. We qualify any and all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary factors.

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, we undertake 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. Unitholders’ results include 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 annual report for the year ended December 31, 2022 to be filed on Form 20-F.
