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 insurance 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:
* Realized Carried Interest represents our contractual share of investment
gains generated within a private fund after considering our clients' minimum
disposition gains include gains and losses recorded in net income and equity
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 it 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:
gains, fair value changes, depreciation and amortization and deferred income taxes; and includes our proportionate share of FFO from operating activities
We use DE and FFO 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 also 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 and FFO, 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.

of net realized carried interest into income this year.

representing an increase of $104 million during the quarter, net of carried
interest realized into income.

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 insurance 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:
* 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 from principal investments are included in DE
because we consider the purchase and sale of assets from our directly held
investments 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 DE.
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 it 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 as defined above.
* 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 DE and FFO 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 also 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 and FFO, 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.
