‌NOTE 1. NATURE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

Brookfield Business Partners L.P. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "partnership") is an owner and operator of business services and industrials operations on a global basis. Brookfield Business Partners L.P. was established as a limited partnership under the laws of Bermuda, and organized pursuant to a limited partnership agreement as amended on May 31, 2016, and as thereafter amended. Brookfield Corporation (together with its controlled subsidiaries, excluding the partnership, "Brookfield") is the ultimate parent of the partnership. "Brookfield Holders" refers to Brookfield, Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. ("Brookfield Wealth Solutions") and their related parties. Brookfield Business Partners L.P.'s limited partnership units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbols "BBU" and "BBU.UN", respectively. The registered head office of Brookfield Business Partners L.P. is 73 Front Street, 5th Floor, Hamilton HM 12, Bermuda.

Brookfield Business Partners L.P.'s sole direct investment consists of the managing general partnership units ("Managing General Partner Units") of Brookfield Business L.P. (the "Holding LP"), which holds the partnership's interests in its operating businesses. The partnership's consolidated equity interests include the non-voting publicly traded limited partnership units ("LP Units") held by public unitholders and Brookfield Holders, general partner units held by Brookfield ("GP Units"), redemption-exchange partnership units ("Redemption-Exchange Units") in the Holding LP held by Brookfield, special limited partnership units ("Special LP Units") in the Holding LP held by Brookfield and class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares ("BBUC exchangeable shares") of Brookfield Business Corporation ("BBUC"), a consolidated subsidiary of the partnership, held by the public and Brookfield Holders. Holders of the LP Units, GP Units, Redemption-Exchange Units, Special LP Units and BBUC exchangeable shares will be collectively referred to throughout as "Unitholders", unless the context indicates or requires otherwise. LP Units, GP Units, Redemption-Exchange Units, Special LP Units and BBUC exchangeable shares will be collectively referred to throughout as "Units" unless the context indicates or requires otherwise.

The partnership's principal operations include business services operations such as a dealer software and technology services operation, non-bank financial services, a residential mortgage insurer and fleet management and car rental services. The partnership's industrials operations include an advanced energy storage operation and an engineered components manufacturing operation, among others. The partnership's infrastructure services operations include modular building leasing services, a lottery services operation, offshore oil services and work access services. The partnership's operations are primarily located in the United States, Europe, Australia, Brazil and Canada.

NOTE 2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

  1. Basis of presentation

    These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the partnership have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and using the accounting policies the partnership applied in its annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024. The accounting policies the partnership applied in its annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024 are disclosed in Note 2 of such consolidated financial statements, with which reference should be made in reading these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. All defined terms are also described in the annual consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and have been presented in U.S. dollars rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise indicated.

    These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the partnership's general partner, Brookfield Business Partners Limited (the "General Partner"), on behalf of the partnership, and authorized for issue on August 7, 2025.

    1. Revision of comparative period disclosure

      In preparing the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the partnership corrected its comparative period related party transaction disclosures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 to include revenues earned by one of its subsidiaries from an associate accounted for under the equity method, which had previously been omitted. See Note 17 for further information. The partnership concluded that the related impacts were not material, and the revisions had no impact on the partnership's unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position, statements of operating results, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2024 and three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

  2. Critical accounting judgments and measurement uncertainty

    The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires management to make critical judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period of the financial statements that are not readily apparent from other sources. The critical accounting estimates and judgments have been set out in Note 2 to the partnership's annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. There have been no significant changes to the method of determining critical accounting estimates and judgments relative to those described in the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

    1. Impact of tax legislation (i)(a) Global minimum top-up tax

      The partnership operates in countries, including Canada, which have enacted legislation to implement the global minimum top-up tax, effective from January 1, 2024. The partnership has applied a temporary mandatory relief from recognizing and disclosing deferred taxes in connection with the global minimum top-up tax and will account for it as a current tax when it is incurred. There are no material current tax impacts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The global minimum top-up tax is not anticipated to have a material impact on the financial position of the partnership.

      (i)(b) U.S. legislation for domestic energy production and manufacturing

      On August 16, 2022, the United States enacted laws providing incentives for domestic energy production and manufacturing. In December 2023, the United States Department of the Treasury issued proposed regulations, which were subsequently finalized in October 2024, that provided guidance in determining eligibility to claim tax benefits. The tax benefits are available for qualifying activities from 2023 to 2032, subject to phase out beginning in 2030.

      For qualified business activities in the partnership's advanced energy storage operation beginning in its fiscal year 2024 subsequent to October 1, 2023, these tax benefits are eligible to be refundable or transferable, and therefore the benefits are accounted for in accordance with IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance ("IAS 20").

      IAS 20 permits a policy choice to present benefits of a similar nature as income or an offset to a related expense. The partnership has elected to present these benefits as a reduction to direct operating costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the partnership recorded a benefit of $256 million and $515 million, respectively (June 30, 2024: $nil and $nil, respectively).

    2. Going concern

      In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate and whether there are material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the partnership's ability to continue as a going concern, management has made certain estimates and assumptions about future cash flows. These judgments considered various forward-looking factors, such as forecasted cash flows, access to financing and liquidity reserves, planned capital expenditures and debt repayment obligations. The assumptions underlying this assessment are based on actual operating results and the most relevant available information about the future, including the partnership's strategic initiatives and business plans and may be affected by market conditions, regulatory developments and macroeconomic risks.

  3. Future changes in accounting policies

    1. Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9") and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures ("IFRS 7")

      - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments

      In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments which clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system, add further guidance for assessing the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with contingent feature, and add new or amended disclosures relating to investments in equity instruments designated at FVOCI and financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The partnership is currently assessing the impact of these amendments.

    2. IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements ("IFRS 18")

      In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 to replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1"). IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 aims to improve financial reporting by requiring additional defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosures about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for the aggregation and disaggregation of items. The partnership is currently assessing the impact of these amendments.

      There are currently no other future changes to IFRS® Accounting Standards with expected material impacts on the partnership.

      NOTE 3. ACQUISITION OF BUSINESSES

      When determining the basis of accounting for the partnership's investees, the partnership evaluates the degree of influence that the partnership exerts directly or through an arrangement over the investees' relevant activities. Control is obtained when the partnership has power over the acquired entities and an ability to use its power to affect the returns of these entities.

      The partnership accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, pursuant to which identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities are recognized and measured on the basis of their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

      1. Acquisitions completed in the six months ended June 30, 2025 Industrials

        Chemelex

        On January 30, 2025, the partnership, together with institutional partners, acquired a 100% economic interest in Chemelex, a leading manufacturer of electric heat tracing systems. Total consideration for the business was $1,654 million, funded with debt and equity. The partnership received 100% of the voting rights, which provided the partnership with control, and accordingly, the partnership has consolidated the business for financial reporting purposes. The partnership's economic ownership interest in the business is approximately 26%.

        Goodwill of $654 million was recognized and represents the growth the partnership expects to experience from the operations. The goodwill recognized was not deductible for income tax purposes. Intangible assets of $804 million were acquired as part of the transaction, comprising customer relationships of $498 million, brand and trademarks of $198 million, and developed technology and software of $108 million. Other items include $115 million of property, plant and equipment,

        $109 million of inventory, and $28 million of net other liabilities. Transaction costs of approximately $34 million were recorded as other expenses in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results.

        The partnership's results from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 include revenues of $261 million and

        $15 million of net loss attributable to Unitholders from the acquisition. If the acquisition had been effective January 1, 2025, the partnership would have recorded revenues of $302 million and a net loss of $13 million attributable to Unitholders for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

      2. Acquisitions completed in 2024

        There were no significant acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2024.

        NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair values are determined by reference to quoted bid or ask prices, as appropriate. Where bid and ask prices are unavailable, the closing price of the most recent transaction of that instrument is used. In the absence of an active market, fair values are determined based on prevailing market rates such as bid and ask prices, as appropriate, for instruments with similar characteristics and risk profiles or internal or external valuation models, such as option pricing models and discounted cash flow analysis, using observable market inputs when available.

        Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. In determining those assumptions, the partnership looks primarily to external readily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves, currency rates and price and rate volatility, as applicable.

  1. Hedging activities

    Derivative instruments not designated in a hedging relationship are classified as FVTPL, with changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results.

    Net investment hedges

    The partnership uses foreign exchange derivative contracts, currency options and foreign currency denominated debt instruments to manage foreign currency exposures arising from net investments in foreign operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, a pre-tax net loss of $147 million and $188 million, respectively (June 30, 2024: pre-tax net gain of $110 million and $145 million, respectively) was recorded in other comprehensive income for the effective portion of hedges of net investments in foreign operations. As at June 30, 2025, there was a derivative asset balance of $90 million (December 31, 2024: $177 million) and a derivative liability balance of $98 million (December 31, 2024: $135 million) relating to derivative contracts designated as net investment hedges.

    Cash flow hedges

    The partnership uses commodity swap contracts to hedge the sale price of natural gas contracts, purchase price of lead, polypropylene, and tin, foreign exchange contracts and option contracts to hedge highly probable future transactions, and interest rate contracts to hedge the cash flows on its floating rate borrowings. A number of these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, a pre-tax net loss of $6 million and $94 million, respectively (June 30, 2024: pre-tax net gain of $101 million and $241 million, respectively) was recorded in other comprehensive income for the effective portion of cash flow hedges. As at June 30, 2025, there was a derivative asset balance of $97 million (December 31, 2024: $220 million) and derivative liability balance of $69 million (December 31, 2024:

    $52 million) relating to the derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

    Fair value hedges

    The partnership uses cross currency interest rate swap contracts to hedge its fair value exposure on certain foreign currency borrowings resulting from changes in foreign currency. As at June 30, 2025, there was a derivative asset balance of

    $72 million (December 31, 2024: $71 million) and derivative liability balance of $66 million (December 31, 2024: $28 million) relating to derivative contracts designated as fair value hedges.

  2. Fair value hierarchical levels - financial instruments

    Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include $935 million (December 31, 2024:

    $993 million) of financial assets and $26 million (December 31, 2024: $25 million) of financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value using valuation inputs based on management's best estimates.

    The following table categorizes financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, based upon the level of input as at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

NOTE 16. BORROWINGS

  1. Corporate borrowings

    The partnership has bilateral credit facilities backed by large global banks. The credit facilities are available in Euros, British pounds, Australian dollars, U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars. Advances under the credit facilities bear interest at the specified SOFR, SONIA, EURIBOR, CORRA or BBSY rate plus 2.50%, or the specified base rate or prime rate plus 1.50%. The credit facilities require the partnership to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and deconsolidated debt to capitalization ratio at the corporate level. The total capacity on the bilateral credit facilities is $2,350 million with a maturity date of June 29, 2030. The balance drawn on the bilateral credit facility, net of deferred financing costs, as at June 30, 2025 was $1,116 million (December 31, 2024: $2,142 million).

    The partnership had $1 billion available on its revolving credit facility with Brookfield (the "Brookfield Credit Agreement") as at June 30, 2025. The credit facility is guaranteed by the partnership, the Holding LP and certain of the partnership's subsidiaries. The credit facility is available in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars and advances are made by way of SOFR, CORRA, base rate or prime rate loans. The credit facility bears interest at the specified SOFR or CORRA rate plus 3.45%, or the specified base rate or prime rate plus 2.45%. The credit facility requires the partnership to maintain a minimum deconsolidated net worth and contains restrictions on the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to, among other things, incur certain liens or enter into speculative hedging arrangements. The maturity date of the credit facility is April 27, 2030, subject to automatic one year extensions occurring on April 27 of each year unless Brookfield provides written notice of its intention not to further extend their prevailing maturity date. The total available amount on the credit facility will decrease to

    $500 million on April 27, 2026. As at June 30, 2025, the credit facility remained undrawn.

    The partnership is currently in compliance with covenant requirements of its corporate borrowings and continues to monitor performance against such covenant requirements.

    As at June 30, 2025, there were no funds on deposit from Brookfield (December 31, 2024: $nil). Refer to Note 17 for further details on the Deposit Agreements (defined herein) with Brookfield.

  2. Non-recourse subsidiary borrowings of the partnership

    Current and non-current non-recourse subsidiary borrowings in subsidiaries of the partnership as at June 30, 2025, net of deferred financing costs and other accounting adjustments, were $1,360 million and $41,133 million, respectively (December 31, 2024: $1,616 million and $35,104 million, respectively). Non-recourse borrowings in subsidiaries of the partnership include borrowings made under subscription facilities of Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds.

    Some of the partnership's operations have credit facilities in which they borrow and repay on a short-term basis. This movement has been shown on a net basis in the partnership's unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flow.

    The partnership has financing arrangements within its operating businesses that trade in public markets or are held at major financial institutions. The financing arrangements primarily comprise term loans, securitization programs, credit facilities and notes and debentures which are subject to fixed or floating interest rates. Most of these borrowings are not subject to financial maintenance covenants, however, some are subject to fixed charge coverage, leverage ratios and minimum equity or liquidity covenants.

    The partnership principally finances assets at the subsidiary level with debt that is non-recourse to both the partnership and to its other subsidiaries and is generally secured against assets within the respective subsidiaries. Moreover, debt instruments at the partnership's subsidiaries do not cross-accelerate or cross-default to debt at other subsidiaries. As at June 30, 2025, the partnership's subsidiaries were in compliance with or had obtained waivers related to all material covenant requirements and the partnership continues to work with its businesses to monitor performance against such covenant requirements.

    1. Healthcare services operation

      On May 26, 2025, the partnership's healthcare services operation entered receivership due to an event of default under its credit agreement after unsuccessful efforts to negotiate with key stakeholders on a sustainable long-term solution for the business. Following the appointment of a receiver and transition of oversight of the operations, the partnership ceased to have control of the business and therefore, deconsolidated the net liabilities of the business, and recorded a pre-tax net gain of

      $236 million in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results, included in other income (expense). Upon deconsolidation, the partnership derecognized property, plant and equipment of $2,361 million, accounts payable and other liabilities of $2,008 million, non-recourse borrowings of $950 million, accounts receivable of $171 million and other net assets of $237 million related to its healthcare services operation. The results of the healthcare services operation are included in the partnership's unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operating results up until the partnership lost control of the business on May 26, 2025.

      NOTE 17. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      In the normal course of operations, the partnership entered into the transactions below with related parties. These transactions have been measured at fair value and are recognized in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The ultimate parent of the partnership is Brookfield Corporation. Other related parties of the partnership include Brookfield Corporation's subsidiaries, affiliates, and operating entities.

      1. Transactions with Brookfield

        The partnership had $1 billion available on its revolving credit facility with Brookfield as at June 30, 2025. As at June 30, 2025, $nil was drawn on the Brookfield Credit Agreement (December 31, 2024: $nil). Refer to Note 16 for further details.

        From time to time, each of Brookfield and the partnership may place funds on deposit with the other, on terms approved by the independent directors of the partnership's General Partner, pursuant to deposit agreements entered into between Brookfield and the partnership (the "Deposit Agreements"). Interest earned or incurred on such deposits is at market terms. As at June 30, 2025, the net deposit from Brookfield was $nil (December 31, 2024: $nil) and the partnership incurred interest income (expense) of $nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (June 30, 2024: $nil) on these deposits.

        Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement ("Master Services Agreement"), the partnership and other service recipients (the "Service Recipients" as defined in the Master Services Agreement) pay a base management fee, referred to as the Base Management Fee, to certain service providers (the "Service Providers" as defined in the Master Services Agreement) equal to 0.3125% per quarter (1.25% annually) of the total capitalization of the partnership, which is reflected within general and administrative expenses. For purposes of calculating the Base Management Fee, the total capitalization of the partnership is equal to the quarterly volume-weighted average trading price of LP Units on the principal stock exchange for the LP Units (based on trading volumes) multiplied by the number of LP Units outstanding at the end of the quarter (assuming full conversion of the Redemption-Exchange Units into LP Units of Brookfield Business Partners L.P.), plus the value of securities of the other Service Recipients (including the BBUC exchangeable shares) that are not held by the partnership, plus all outstanding debt with recourse to a Service Recipient, less all cash held by such entities. The Base Management Fee for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $22 million and $43 million, respectively (June 30, 2024: $21 million and

        $44 million, respectively).

        In its capacity as the holder of the Special LP Units, Brookfield is entitled to incentive distribution rights. The incentive distribution for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $nil (June 30, 2024: $nil). Refer to Note 19 for further details.

        An integral part of the partnership's strategy is to participate with institutional investors in Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds that target acquisitions that suit the partnership's investment mandate. In the normal course of business, the partnership and institutional investors have made commitments to Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds, and in connection therewith, the partnership, together with institutional investors, has access to short-term financing using the private equity funds' credit facilities to facilitate investments that Brookfield has determined to be in the partnership's best interests.

        In addition, at the time of spin-off of the partnership from Brookfield in 2016, the partnership entered into indemnity agreements with Brookfield that relate to certain contracts that were in place prior to the spin-off. Under these indemnity agreements, Brookfield has agreed to indemnify the partnership for payments relating to such contracts.

The weighted average number of Redemption-Exchange Units outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were 51.6 million and 57.2 million, respectively (June 30, 2024: 69.7 million).

As at June 30, 2025, the Holding LP had issued 51.6 million Redemption-Exchange Units to Brookfield Holders (December 31, 2024: 69.7 million). Both the LP Units and GP Units issued by Brookfield Business Partners L.P. and the Redemption-Exchange Units issued by the Holding LP have the same economic attributes in all respects, except as noted below.

The Redemption-Exchange Units may, at the request of Brookfield, be redeemed in whole or in part, for cash in an amount equal to the market value of one of the partnership's LP Units multiplied by the number of units to be redeemed (subject to certain customary adjustments). This right is subject to the partnership's right, at its sole discretion, to elect to acquire any unit presented for redemption in exchange for one of the partnership's LP Units (subject to certain customary adjustments). If the partnership elects not to exchange the Redemption-Exchange Units for LP Units, the Redemption-Exchange Units are required to be redeemed for cash. The Redemption-Exchange Units are presented as non-controlling interests since they relate to equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to Brookfield Business Partners L.P. Since this redemption right is subject to the partnership's right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the redemption request with LP Units of Brookfield Business Partners L.P. on a one-for-one basis, the Redemption-Exchange Units are classified as equity instruments in accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation ("IAS 32").

Brookfield has subscribed for an aggregate of $15 million of preferred shares of three subsidiaries of the partnership. The preferred shares are entitled to receive a cumulative preferential cash dividend equal to 5% of their redemption value per annum as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the applicable entity and are redeemable at the option of the applicable entity at any time after the twentieth anniversary of their issuance. The partnership is not obligated to redeem the preferred shares and accordingly, the preferred shares have been determined to be equity instruments of the applicable entities in accordance with IAS 32 and are reflected as a component of non-controlling interests in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

Brookfield entered into a commitment agreement with the partnership in 2022 to subscribe for up to $1.5 billion of perpetual preferred equity securities of subsidiaries of the partnership. The preferred securities are redeemable at the option of Brookfield to the extent the partnership completes asset sales, financings or equity issuances. These perpetual preferred securities are presented as equity instruments in accordance with IAS 32, and accordingly the partnership has classified them as a component of non-controlling interests in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position and changes in equity. As of June 30, 2025, the amount subscribed from subsidiaries of the partnership was $725 million with an annual dividend of 7% (December 31, 2024: $725 million). The remaining capacity available on the commitment agreement with Brookfield is $25 million.
