$15 billion of Capital Returned to Shareholders in 2022

Distributable Earnings of $5.2 billion and Net Income of $5.2 billion for the Year

BROOKFIELD, NEWS, Feb. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Corporation (NYSE:BN, TSX:BN) today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Nick Goodman, President of Brookfield Corporation, stated, "Financial results were very strong for the year. We generated $5.2 billion of distributable earnings and $5.2 billion of net income. Our results were driven by growth in our asset management franchise, the continued ramp-up in earnings from our insurance solutions business, and the resilience of our inflation-protected and highly cash generative global portfolio of real assets. We ended the year with approximately $125 billion of deployable capital as we look for new investment opportunities to enhance returns and further diversify our business."

He continued, "We successfully completed the distribution to shareholders and listing of a 25% interest in our asset management business in December 2022. This is a milestone in Brookfield's evolution and sets us up to execute on the next phase of growth, while adding approximately $40 billion of liquid assets to our investment portfolio."

Operating Results

Excluding the impact of realizations recorded in the prior year, distributable earnings increased by 24% compared to the prior year.

Our businesses continued to deliver very strong financial performance. Operating Funds from Operations ("Operating FFO") was $4.6 billion for the year, representing growth of 23% compared to the prior year. Net income was $5.2 billion for the year. The comparative period net income included higher valuation and non-recurring disposition gains.

Distributable Earnings ("DE") before realizations were $1.1 billion for the quarter and $4.3 billion for the year, an increase of 24% compared to last year. This was driven by strong contributions across the business. Our asset management franchise delivered growth of 26% compared to the prior year, insurance solutions continues to yield the benefits of re-deploying its highly liquid and short-duration portfolio into higher returning assets and the distributions from our operating businesses grew by 20% compared to the prior year. DE before realizations also benefited from acquisitions over the last year, including the acquisition of American National in May. Total DE for the quarter was $1.5 billion and $5.2 billion for the year.

Regular Dividend Declaration

The Board declared a quarterly dividend for the Corporation of $0.07 per share, payable on March 31, 2023 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on February 28, 2023.

Combined, Brookfield Corporation's quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share and Brookfield Asset Management Ltd.'s ("BAM") quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share (equivalent to $0.08 per Class A share held prior to the special distribution), would equate to $0.15 per Class A share held prior to the special distribution; representing a 7% increase compared to 2022.

The Board also declared the regular monthly and quarterly dividends on its preferred shares.

Operating Highlights

DE before realizations was $1.1 billion for the quarter and $4.3 billion for the year, representing an increase of 24% over the prior year. Total DE for the quarter was $1.5 billion and $5.2 billion for the year.

Our asset management business generated fee-related earnings of $576 million in the quarter and $2.1 billion for the year with inflows of $14 billion and $93 billion during the quarter and full year, respectively. Fee-bearing capital was $418 billion at the end of the year, an increase of approximately $11 billion during the quarter and $54 billion or 15% over the prior year. The increase in fee-bearing capital contributed to a 26% increase in fee-related earnings, when excluding performance fees, compared to last year. With a number of tailwinds accelerating for our highly differentiated asset management business, we are set to continue to deliver strong earnings growth in 2023 and beyond.

Our insurance solutions business generated distributable earnings of $170 million in the quarter and $388 million for the full year with the growth in earnings providing a natural interest rate hedge to our broader business. During the quarter, we re-deployed $2 billion of highly liquid and short-duration investments into higher yielding assets, increasing annualized DE to $650 million today.

Distributions from our operating businesses were $624 million for the quarter and $2.6 billion for the year, representing an increase of 20% compared to last year. Our operating businesses continue to demonstrate their resilience with strong cash generation. The essential nature of many of the businesses and assets that we own, the inflation linkage in their revenues, and the high cash margins they generate are proving to be differentiators in this environment, as supported by the 23% growth in Operating FFO compared to the prior year.

We invested and/or committed $81 billion of capital to new investments during the year and advanced monetizations on numerous mature assets.

We continue to acquire high-quality businesses and assets during the quarter, including $2.5 billion to acquire a global leader in third-party audience measurement and $3.1 billion for a portfolio of luxury hotels in the U.S. at a deep discount to intrinsic value.

Our monetization pipeline across our businesses remains strong. We recently sold a student housing business in the U.K. for $4.5 billion, a portfolio of telecom towers in New Zealand for $1.1 billion and several electricity transmission lines in Brazil for $0.8 billion, with numerous other sales processes in progress. Additionally, we generated disposition gains of $360 million from the sale of principal investments during the year.

We ended the year with approximately $125 billion of capital available to deploy into new investments.

We have significant group-wide liquidity with approximately $37 billion of cash, financial assets and undrawn credit lines at the Corporation and our affiliates, and $87 billion of uncalled fund commitments.

We continue to have strong access to capital, and in December completed a C$1 billion issuance of 10-year bonds at 5.43%. Also in December, we received a credit rating upgrade from Moody's on our senior unsecured debt to A3, reflecting the strengthening and resiliency of the inflation-linked cash flows generated across our business. With this rating upgrade, we now have an A- or equivalent rating on our unsecured senior debt from S&P, Fitch, Moody's and DBRS.

We have been actively repurchasing shares. In total, we returned approximately $15 billion of capital to shareholders, including $686 million of open market share repurchases, regular dividends and our special distribution of BAM shares. In addition, our balance sheet remains conservatively capitalized and we have no maturities until 2024.

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 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 includes 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:

Operating FFO 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 make reference to Distributable Earnings ("DE"), which is referring to the sum of distributions from our asset management business, operating earnings from our insurance solutions business, distributions received from our ownership of investments, realized carried interest and disposition gains from principal investments, net of Corporate Activities FFO, 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.

We use FFO and 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 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 FFO and 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.
