Strategic Initiatives
- Nuclear Technology Services
During the quarter we obtained exemptive relief from theOntario Securities Commission from the requirements to call a special unitholder meeting to approve the proposed sale of Westinghouse, our nuclear technology services operation. In December we filed a disclosure document in connection with the sale and have since received written consents from unitholders representing more than 50% of the votes eligible to be cast to vote in favor of the transaction. As a result, we have satisfied the requirement for minority approval and expect to close the sale in the second half of 2023, subject to regulatory approvals.
- Offshore Oil Services
In January our offshore oil services operation emerged from the Chapter 11 restructuring process with a significantly deleveraged balance sheet. The restructuring reprofiled the company’s bank loan facilities to better align cash flow with debt service obligations and equitized more than$1 billion in junior debt obligations. Following the restructuring, we, along with our institutional partners, own 88% of the post-reorganization equity. Our share of the post-reorganization equity is 53%.
- Unit Repurchase Program
For the year endedDecember 31, 2022 we repurchased 2,525,490 ofBrookfield Business Partners L.P. units under our normal course issuer bid (NCIB).

Additional Information
The Board has reviewed and approved this news release, including the summarized unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein.
Brookfield Business Partners’ Letter to Unitholders and the Supplemental Information are available on our website https://bbu.brookfield.com under Reports & Filings.
Notes:
- Attributable to limited partnership unitholders, general partnership unitholders, redemption-exchange unitholders, special limited partnership unitholders and BBUC exchangeable shareholders.
- Net income (loss) per limited partnership unit calculated as net income (loss) attributable to limited partners divided by the average number of limited partnership units outstanding for the three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2022 which was 74.6 million and 75.3 million, respectively (December 31, 2021 : 77.6 million and 78.3 million, respectively). - Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure of operating performance presented as net income and equity accounted income at the partnership’s economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investments, respectively, excluding the impact of interest income (expense), net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains (losses) on acquisition/disposition, net, transaction costs, restructuring charges, revaluation gains or losses, impairment expenses or reversals, other income (expense), net, and distributions to preferred equity holders. The partnership’s economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investments excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests consistent with how the partnership determines net income attributable to non-controlling interests in its IFRS consolidated statement of operating results. The partnership believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a comprehensive understanding of the ability of its businesses to generate recurring earnings which allows users to better understand and evaluate the underlying financial performance of the partnership’s operations and excludes items that the partnership believes do not directly relate to revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring items necessary for business operations. Please refer to the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA included elsewhere in this release.
- Adjusted EFO is the partnership’s segment measure of profit or loss and is presented as net income and equity accounted income at the partnership’s economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investments, respectively, excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, transaction costs, restructuring charges, revaluation gains or losses, impairment expenses or reversals, and other income or expense items that are not directly related to revenue generating activities. The partnership’s economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests consistent with how the partnership determines net income attributable to non-controlling interests in its IFRS consolidated statement of operating results. In order to provide additional insight regarding the partnership’s operating performance over the lifecycle of an investment, Adjusted EFO includes the impact of preferred equity distributions and realized disposition gains or losses, recorded in net income, other comprehensive income, or directly in equity, such as ownership changes. Adjusted EFO does not include legal and other provisions that may occur from time to time in the partnership’s operations and that are one-time or non-recurring and not directly tied to the partnership’s operations, such as those for litigation or contingencies. Adjusted EFO includes expected credit losses and bad debt allowances recorded in the normal course of the partnership’s operations. Adjusted EFO allows the partnership to evaluate its segments on the basis of return on invested capital generated by its operations and allows the partnership to evaluate the performance of its segments on a levered basis.
