Distributable Earnings Before Realizations Increased 19% to a
Record $1.3 billion or $0.80 Per Share

Advanced Monetizations of $17 billion and New Investments of $20 billion
as Transaction Activity Continues to Increase

BROOKFIELD, NEWS, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Corporation (NYSE: BN, TSX: BN) announced record financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Nick Goodman, President of Brookfield Corporation, said, “Our financial performance in the third quarter was strong, delivering record cash earnings from our base businesses, and we expect this momentum to continue into 2025. We repurchased approximately $1 billion of shares over the last twelve months and will continue allocating capital opportunistically to share buybacks.”

He added, “With capital markets continuing to improve and transaction activity picking up, we recently executed on several financings and signed or closed a number of monetizations across our business. As the macro tailwinds turn in our favor, we are better positioned than ever to drive strong earnings growth and deliver 15%+ total returns to our shareholders over the long term.”

Operating Results

Distributable earnings (“DE”) before realizations increased by 19% over the prior year quarter.

See endnotes on page 8.

Total consolidated net income was $1.5 billion in the quarter and $4.9 billion for the last twelve months (“LTM”). Distributable earnings before realizations were a record $1.3 billion ($0.80/share) for the quarter and $4.6 billion ($2.90/share) for the last twelve months.

Our asset management business delivered 14% growth in fee-related earnings compared to the prior year quarter, due to recent fundraising momentum across our diversified strategies, primarily from our credit funds and insurance inflows.

Wealth solutions earnings doubled compared to the prior year quarter, benefiting from the acquisition of American Equity Life, increased annuity sales and strong investment performance.

Our operating businesses continue to deliver growing cash flows, backed by the resilient earnings of our renewable power and transition, infrastructure and private equity businesses and 4% growth in same-store net operating income (“NOI”) from our core real estate portfolio over the prior year quarter.

During the quarter and over the LTM, earnings from realizations were $66 million and $1.4 billion, with total DE for the quarter and the LTM of $1.3 billion ($0.84/share) and $6.0 billion ($3.78/share), respectively.

Non-IFRS and Performance Measures

This news release and accompanying financial information are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), unless otherwise noted.

We make reference to Distributable Earnings (“DE”). We define DE as the sum of distributable earnings from our asset management business, distributable operating earnings from our wealth solutions business, distributions received from our ownership of investments, realized carried interest and disposition gains from principal investments, net of earnings from our Corporate Activities, preferred share dividends and equity-based compensation costs. We also make reference to DE before realizations , which refers to DE before realized carried interest and realized disposition gains from principal investments. We believe these measures provide insight into earnings received by the company that are available for distribution to common shareholders or to be reinvested into the business.

Realized carried interest and realized disposition gains are further described below:

We use DE to assess our operating results and the value of Brookfield Corporation's business and believe that many shareholders and analysts also find these measures of value to them.

We make reference to Operating Funds from Operations (“ Operating FFO ”). We define Operating FFO as the company's share of revenues less direct costs and interest expenses; excludes realized carried interest and disposition gains, fair value changes, depreciation and amortization and deferred income taxes; and includes our proportionate share of FFO from operating activities recorded by equity accounted investments on a fully diluted basis.

We make reference to Net Operating Income (“NOI”) , which refers to the revenues from our operations less direct expenses before the impact of depreciation and amortization within our real estate business. We present this measure as we believe it is a key indicator of our ability to impact the operating performance of our properties. As NOI excludes non-recurring items and depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, it provides a performance measure that, when compared to prior periods, reflects the impact of operations from trends in occupancy rates and rental rates.

We disclose a number of financial measures in this news release that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with IFRS. These financial measures, which include DE, should not be considered as the sole measure of our performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, similar financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. We caution readers that these non-IFRS financial measures or other financial metrics are not standardized under IFRS and may differ from the financial measures or other financial metrics disclosed by other businesses and, as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and entities.

We provide additional information on key terms and non-IFRS measures in our filings available at www.bn.brookfield.com .

There can be no assurance that comparable results will be achieved in the future, that future investments will be similar to historic investments discussed herein, that targeted returns, growth objectives, diversification or asset allocations will be met or that an investment strategy or investment objectives will be achieved (because of economic conditions, the availability of appropriate opportunities or otherwise).
