Most of our operations continued to generate favorable operating profits, driven by their revenues being largely contracted or regulated. Despite that, some of our operating businesses were impacted by the economic shutdown in the second quarter. In addition, we recorded some non-cash revaluations, largely attributed to our real estate portfolio. As a result, we recorded a net loss of $656 million attributable to shareholders, or $0.43 per share. Income of $844 million was recorded over the last twelve months.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) were $1.2 billion for the quarter and $4.1 billion over the last twelve months. Fee-related earnings before performance fees increased by 23% on a quarter-over-quarter basis to $324 million, and 41% over the last twelve months to $1.3 billion. This reflects strong fundraising in our long-term and perpetual private funds, solid performance in our listed partnerships, and the contribution of fee-related earnings from our credit business. Growth in FFO from invested capital deployed over the last twelve months was offset during the quarter by the impact of the short-term shutdowns across certain of our real estate businesses and some of our private equity businesses. This resulted in our operating FFO being in line with the prior year, and we are now seeing recoveries accelerating in many jurisdictions in which we operate. As a result, we expect this to contribute to better results for the second half of 2020.

During the quarter we recognized $473 million of disposition gains in FFO, mainly as a result of a partial sell down of our investment in BEP. The transaction served to increase the public float and liquidity of BEP units, which have experienced strong growth in performance and demand. Today, we remain a 52% owner of the company.

Dividend Declaration

The Board declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.12 per share, payable on September 30, 2020 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on August 31, 2020. The Board also declared the regular monthly and quarterly dividends on its preferred shares.

Operating Highlights

We raised $23 billion of capital in our asset management operations since we last reported, taking our assets under management to approximately $550 billion. This included commitments of $12 billion to our latest distressed debt fund and continued inflows to our perpetual private funds. Total growth in fee-bearing capital over the last twelve months led to a 41% growth in fee-related earnings, before performance fees, over the same period.

The fundraising results highlight the breadth of our product offerings and strength of our existing investor base which have allowed us to raise significant amounts of capital even amidst a global shutdown. Our core, perpetual private funds are experiencing positive fundraising momentum and we have now added a European perpetual core-plus real estate fund that recently closed with €725 million of commitments and has an active pipeline of transactions. Fundraising for the distressed debt fund will continue throughout the year and we expect this fund, by final close, to be one of our largest funds.

As at June 30, 2020 fee-bearing capital was $277 billion, representing an increase of 69% from the prior year. We have an additional $29 billion of capital that is currently committed and will earn fees when deployed, of which $15 billion was raised since we last reported. Our growth in fee-bearing capital over the last twelve months led to an increase in fee-related earnings of 23% in the quarter relative to the same period a year ago, and a 41% increase in earnings for the last twelve months, before performance fees.

Growth in our fee-related earnings is attributable to private fund capital raised in our infrastructure and private equity flagship funds, and across our perpetual private fund strategies, as well as three quarters of fee-related earnings from our credit business. Today, our latest flagship real estate, infrastructure and private equity funds are approximately 50% invested or committed, in aggregate. We expect that we will continue to find excellent places to deploy this capital as the current economic environment begins to stabilize over the coming months and new opportunities are uncovered.

We realized $264 million of net realized carried interest into income over the last twelve months, and our accumulated unrealized carried interest now stands at $2.9 billion.

We realized $16 billion through asset sales across the portfolio over the last twelve months and we remain focused on recycling capital across the business and returning capital to our investors. Over the last twelve months, we have recorded $264 million of net realized carried interest into income, including $31 million during the current quarter. We expect that any planned dispositions and associated realized carried interest initially forecasted to be recognized in the first half of 2020 will be recognized later in 2020 or into 2021. We have no required asset monetizations, and therefore capital recycling initiatives will be done opportunistically on a value basis. For the last twelve-month period, we generated $187 million of carried interest, before the impact of foreign exchange or costs.

Annualized fee revenues and target carried interest now stand at a run-rate of $5.6 billion.

Annualized fee revenues and annualized fee-related earnings are now $2.8 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. Gross target carried interest stands at $2.8 billion, or $1.6 billion net of costs, at our share. Growth in both our annualized fee-related earnings and target carried interest is attributable to private fund capital raised in our infrastructure and private equity flagship funds, and across our perpetual private fund strategies, as well as the contribution from our investment in our credit franchise.

We generated over $2.6 billion of cash available for distribution and/or reinvestment (“CAFDR”) over the last twelve months, and as at June 30, 2020, we had $66 billion of available liquidity to deploy into new investments.

Excluding realized carried interest and performance fees, CAFDR increased 13% over the prior year period, representing the strength and resiliency of the cash flow streams of our business, even in times of market and economic volatility. Today, we continue to generate over $2.4 billion of annualized CAFDR, before accounting for any carried interest.

Today, we have $77 billion of total deployable capital, including $16 billion of cash, financial assets and undrawn lines of credit in BAM and our affiliates and $61 billion of uncalled fund commitments available for new transactions. The increase in core liquidity since the prior quarter includes raising approximately $1.3 billion of long-term financing across BAM and the public affiliates as well as $2 billion of increased credit facility capacity to be used for new investment opportunities.

We expect in the coming months, as government aid tapers and companies will increasingly be in need of capital, there will be many opportunities for us to invest across all our pools of capital, including control investments within our flagship funds, non-control investments within our Special Investments program capital, and distressed debt opportunities, within the latest flagship fund.

We invested $9 billion during the current quarter.

During the quarter, we have invested $5 billion across our credit funds, and over $1 billion into certain public toehold positions, and approximately $250 million in convertible preferred shares in a propane distribution company, within our Brookfield Special Investments program, which already has a strong pipeline of investments.

Subsequent to quarter-end, we announced a commitment, along with other institutional partners, to purchase up to $1 billion units and shares of Brookfield Property Partners. We view that we are buying at a fraction of the underlying value of the business, even in the most draconian scenario.

Lastly, in late July, we completed the previously announced privatization of TerraForm Power and the concurrent spin out of Brookfield Renewable Corporation (“BEPC”) – shares of Brookfield Renewable that are economically equivalent to existing BEP units. We are pleased with the tremendous success of the BIPC spin-out completed earlier this year within Brookfield Infrastructure, and look forward to the greater flexibility for investors to participate in our high-quality renewable power portfolio through BEPC.

Basis of Presentation

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

We make reference to Funds from Operations (“FFO”). We define FFO as net income attributable to shareholders prior to fair value changes, depreciation and amortization, and deferred income taxes, and include realized disposition gains that are not recorded in net income as determined under IFRS. FFO also includes the company’s share of equity accounted investments’ FFO on a fully diluted basis. FFO consists of the following components:

• FFO from Operating Activities represents 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 present this measure as we believe it assists in describing our results and variances within FFO.
   
• Realized Carried Interest represents our contractual share of investment gains generated within a private fund after considering our clients minimum return requirements. Realized carried interest is determined on third-party capital that is no longer subject to future investment performance.
   
• Realized Disposition Gains are included in FFO because we consider the purchase and sale of assets to be a normal part of the company’s business. Realized disposition gains include gains and losses recorded in net income and equity in the current period, and are adjusted to include fair value changes and revaluation surplus balances recorded in prior periods which were not included in prior period FFO.

We use FFO to assess our operating results and the value of Brookfield’s business and believe that many shareholders and analysts also find this measure of value to them.

We note that FFO, its components, and its per share equivalent are non-IFRS measures which do not have any standard meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and entities.

We make reference to Invested Capital. Invested Capital is defined as the amount of common equity in our segments and underlying businesses within the segments.

We make reference to Cash available for distribution and/or reinvestment, which is referring to the sum of our Asset Management segment FFO and distributions received from our ownership of investments, net of Corporate Activities FFO, equity-based compensation and preferred share dividends. This provides insight into earnings received by the corporation that are available for distribution to common shareholders or to be reinvested into the business.

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

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) investment returns that are lower than target; (ii) the impact or unanticipated impact of general economic, political and market factors in the countries in which we do business including as a result of COVID-19 and the related global economic shutdown; (iii) the behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates; (iv) global equity and capital markets and the availability of equity and debt financing and refinancing within these markets; (v) strategic actions including dispositions; the ability to complete and effectively integrate acquisitions into existing operations and the ability to attain expected benefits; (vi) changes in accounting policies and methods used to report financial condition (including uncertainties associated with critical accounting assumptions and estimates); (vii) the ability to appropriately manage human capital; (viii) the effect of applying future accounting changes; (ix) business competition; (x) operational and reputational risks; (xi) technological change; (xii) changes in government regulation and legislation within the countries in which we operate; (xiii) governmental investigations; (xiv) litigation; (xv) changes in tax laws; (xvi) ability to collect amounts owed; (xvii) catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and epidemics/pandemics; (xviii) the possible impact of international conflicts and other developments including terrorist acts and cyberterrorism; (xix) the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives and strategies; (xx) the failure of effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting and other risks; (xxi) health, safety and environmental risks; (xxii) the maintenance of adequate insurance coverage; (xxiii) the existence of information barriers between certain businesses within our asset management operations; (xxiv) risks specific to our business segments including our real estate, renewable power, infrastructure, private equity, and residential development activities; and (xxiv) factors detailed from time to time in our documents filed with the securities regulators in Canada and the United States.

We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive and other factors could also adversely affect its results. Investors and other readers are urged to consider the foregoing risks, as well as other uncertainties, factors and assumptions carefully in evaluating the forward-looking information and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking information. Except as required by law, the corporation 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.

Past performance is not indicative nor a guarantee of future results.
