BROOKFIELD BUSINESS PARTNERS L.P.
Q4 2020 Supplemental Information
Fourth Quarter and Full Year, December 31, 2020
Important Cautionary Notes
All amounts in this Supplemental Information are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise indicated, the statistical and financial data in this document is presented as at December 31, 2020.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION
Note: This supplemental information contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Canadian provincial securities laws and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and in any applicable Canadian securities regulations. Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, include statements regarding the operations, business, financial condition, expected financial results, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook of Brookfield Business Partners, as well as the outlook for North American and international economies for the current fiscal year and subsequent periods, and include words such as "expects," "anticipates," "plans," "believes," "estimates," "seeks," "intends," "targets," "projects," "forecasts" or negative versions thereof and other similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as "may," "will," "should," "would" and "could."
Although we believe that our anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information are based upon reasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Brookfield Business Partners to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: 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 the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19"); the behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates; global equity and capital markets and the availability of equity and debt financing and refinancing within these markets; strategic actions including dispositions; the ability to complete and effectively integrate acquisitions into existing operations and the ability to attain expected benefits; changes in accounting policies and methods used to report financial condition (including uncertainties associated with critical accounting assumptions and estimates); the ability to appropriately manage human capital; the effect of applying future accounting changes; business competition; operational and reputational risks; technological change; changes in government regulation and legislation within the countries in which we operate; governmental investigations; litigation; changes in tax laws; ability to collect amounts owed; catastrophic events, such as earthquakes; hurricanes and pandemics/epidemics; the possible impact of international conflicts and other developments including terrorist acts and cyber terrorism; and other risks and factors detailed from time to time in our documents filed with the securities regulators in Canada and the United States.
In addition, our future results may be impacted by the government mandated economic restrictions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the related global reduction in commerce and travel and substantial volatility in stock markets worldwide, which may negatively impact our revenues, affect our ability to identify and complete future transactions, impact our liquidity position and result in a decrease of cash flows and impairment losses and/or revaluations on our investments and assets, and therefore we may be unable to achieve our expected returns. See "Risks Associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic" in the "Risks and Uncertainties" section included in our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020 to be made available.
We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on our forward-looking statements, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Except as required by law, Brookfield Business Partners 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.
Cautionary Statement Regarding the Use of Non-IFRS Measures
This supplemental information contains references to Non-IFRS Measures. When determining Company FFO and Company EBITDA, we include our unitholders' share of Company FFO and Company EBITDA for equity accounted investments. Company FFO and Company EBITDA are not generally accepted accounting measures under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions used by other entities. We believe these metrics are useful supplemental measures that may assist investors in assessing the financial performance of Brookfield Business Partners and its subsidiaries. However, Company FFO and Company EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, analysis of our financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.
References to Brookfield Business Partners are to Brookfield Business Partners L.P. together with its subsidiaries, controlled affiliates and operating entities. Brookfield Business Partners' results include publicly held limited partnership units, redemption-exchange units, general partnership units and special limited partnership units. More detailed information on certain references made in this supplemental information will be available in our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Company FFO in the prior period included a $35 million after-tax net gain recognized on the sale of our palladium mining operations, North American Palladium ("NAP").
- Net income attributable to unitholders for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $85 million ($0.56 per unit) compared to a net loss of $105 million (loss of $0.70 per unit) in the prior period.

Subsequent Events
- On January 8, 2021, we closed the acquisition of Everise for $360 million, comprising $240 million of equity and $120 million of financing to be secured post closing. BBU expects to fund $85 million of the investment for an approximate 35% ownership.
- On January 14, 2021, together with institutional partners, we sold 20 million shares of GrafTech for proceeds of approximately $214 million, $74 million attributable to BBU. The sale reduced BBU's ownership to approximately 17%.
- On February 4, 2021 the Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.0625 per unit, payable on March 31, 2021 to unitholders of record as at the close of business on February 26, 2021.
- Figures presented are attributable to limited partnership unitholders, general partnership unitholders, redemption-exchange unitholders and special limited partnership unitholders.
- Investment in a derivative requiring no initial capital outlay, and as a result, proceeds equivalent to gain on disposition.
- The carrying value of equity used in determining our accounting gain was negative as a result of historical distributions. An after-tax net gain of $170 million was generated on the partial sale and
recognized in equity. | 6 |

Incentive Distribution Right ("IDR")
- The Special Limited Partner is entitled to an incentive distribution of 20% based on the volume-weighted average increase in the partnership's unit price over an incentive distribution threshold. The IDR is recorded as a distribution in equity once approved by the partnership's board.
- During the fourth quarter of 2020, the volume weighted average price per unit was $33.75, which was below the previous incentive distribution threshold of $41.96 per unit, resulting in an incentive distribution of $nil.
Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB")
- During the third quarter of 2020, we renewed the NCIB for our limited partnership units (the "units"). Under the NCIB, Brookfield Business Partners is authorized to repurchase annually up to 5% of its issued and outstanding units, or 4,016,508 units, including up to 20,432 units on the TSX during any trading day. Brookfield Business Partners can make block purchases that exceed this daily purchase restriction, up to a maximum of 2,000,000 units and subject to the annual aggregate limit.
- During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, a total of 881,245 units and 1,858,671 units, respectively, were repurchased.

Financial Results - Three Months Ended December 31, 2020
- Company EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $92 million compared to $51 million in the prior period.
- Sagen was acquired in late Q4 2019 and contributed $34 million to Company EBITDA in Q4 2020. Sagen's Q4 2020 results reflect the benefit of strong new underwriting activity and low mortgage default rates supported by the continued strong Canadian housing market.
- Multiplex contributed $27 million to Company EBITDA in Q4 2020 compared to $6 million in Q4 2019. Multiplex's results benefited from strong performance in Australia, as a number of projects were completed during the quarter, as well as from continued cost saving initiatives.
- Healthscope contributed $15 million to Company EBITDA in Q4 2020 compared to $17 million in Q4 2019. Revenues for Q4 2020 were strong as surgical activity outside the state of Victoria continued to recover. In Victoria, activity levels improved after November as restrictions on elective surgeries were lifted. The business is incurring additional costs as a result of operating in the current environment which impacted results during the quarter.
- The increase in Company EBITDA was partially offset by weaker results at One Toronto Gaming due to the government mandated shutdown of operations.
- Company FFO increased by $59 million, primarily due to the factors noted above, combined with an after-tax net gain of $15 million recognized on the sale of the pathology business at Healthscope.

Financial Results - Three Months Ended December 31, 2020
- Company EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $156 million compared to $106 million in the prior period.
- Westinghouse contributed $78 million to Company EBITDA in Q4 2020 compared to $52 million in Q4 2019. Current quarter results benefited from higher contribution of new plant projects, resilience in the core plant servicing operations and ongoing cost saving initiatives.
- Altera contributed $58 million to Company EBITDA in Q4 2020 compared to $54 million in Q4 2019. Contribution from our increased ownership in Q4 2020 relative to Q4 2019 (43% vs. 31%) was partially offset by reduced contribution from Altera's FSO and FPSO operations.
- BrandSafway contributed $20 million to Company EBITDA during Q4 2020. The business is an equity accounted investment and was acquired in January 2020. Current quarter results were impacted by restrictions at customer sites and delayed project activity.
- Company FFO increased by $32 million, primarily due to the factors noted above.

Financial Results - Three Months Ended December 31, 2020
- Company EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $195 million compared to $215 million in the prior period.
- Clarios contributed $131 million to Company EBITDA in Q4 2020, compared to $115 million in Q4 2019. The business benefited from an overall increase in aftermarket battery volumes during the quarter, led by a continued strong recovery in demand. A favorable mix of higher margin advanced battery volumes partially offset the impact of additional costs and production inefficiencies associated with operating in the current environment.
- GrafTech contributed $40 million to Company EBITDA in Q4 2020, compared to $63 million in Q4 2019 primarily due to lower sales volume and prices charged for its graphite electrode product, combined with the decrease in our ownership in the business.
- The disposition of NAP in Q4 2019 contributed to the decrease in Company EBITDA relative to the prior period.
- Company FFO decreased by $32 million, primarily due to the factors noted above, partially offset by a $21 million after-tax net gain recognized on the sale of public securities. Prior period results include a $35 million after-tax net gain recognized on the disposition of NAP.
- During the quarter, we disposed a portion of our investment in public securities, generating proceeds and a gain of approximately $70 million ($21 million, after-tax attributable to BBU).

Financial Performance - Three Months Ended December 31, 2020

- Other income, net of $188 million includes $295 million mark- to-market net gains related to public securities, partially offset by restructuring costs at Clarios and Westinghouse. Other expense of $46 million in the prior period primarily comprised restructuring and other transaction costs at Clarios and Westinghouse, combined with mark-to-market losses on derivatives.

- Current tax expense decreased primarily due to a non- recurring current tax expense related to the sale of NAP in the prior period, partially offset by tax expenses at Sagen, acquired in Q4 2019.
- Deferred tax expense increased primarily due to the tax impact of mark-to-market gains on public securities within our Industrials segment.
1) Total gain on the sale of our investment in public securities was $70 million, comprising a gain of $40 million recognized in Q4 2020 and $30 million previously recorded as unrealized. | 18 |

Revenue and operating costs vary from quarter to quarter primarily due to acquisitions of businesses, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, business and economic cycles, and weather and seasonality in underlying operations. Broader economic factors and commodity market volatility, in particular, can have a significant impact on a number of our operations. Net income is impacted by periodic gains and losses on acquisitions, monetization and impairments.

Definitions
- Company Funds From Operations (Company FFO), where applicable, is a key measure of our financial performance and we use Company FFO to assess our business performance. Company FFO is a non-IFRS measure which does not have any standard meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Company FFO is calculated as the partnership's share of net income and equity accounted income excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, transaction costs, non-cash valuation gains or losses, impairment expense and other items. Company FFO includes realized disposition gains or losses recorded in net income or other comprehensive income, arising from transactions during the reporting period together with fair value changes recorded in prior periods. Company FFO is presented net to unitholders. For further information on Company FFO see "Use of Non IFRS Measures" of the 2020 20-F.
- Company EBITDA, where applicable, is a key measure of our financial performance and we use Company EBITDA to assess operating results and our business performance. Company EBITDA is non-IFRS measure which does not have any standard meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Company EBITDA is calculated as Company FFO excluding the impact of the partnership's share of realized disposition gains and losses, interest income and expense, and current income taxes. Company EBITDA is presented net to unitholders. For further information on Company EBITDA see "Use of Non-IFRS Measures" of the 2020 20-F.
- Equity accounted Company EBITDA is exclusive of non-cash items, realized disposition gains, current income taxes and interest income and interest expenses included within equity accounted income, and other items.
- Equity attributable to unitholders is exclusive of the equity interest of others in our operating subsidiaries.
- Net income (loss) attributable to unitholders is exclusive of the net income (loss) attributable to others in our operating subsidiaries.
- Unitholders are defined as limited partnership unitholders, general partnership unitholders, special limited partnership unitholders, and redemption-exchange unitholders.
- Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from borrowings.
- Proportionate share is our economic interest in the financial position and operating results at our subsidiaries, excluding our equity accounted investments.
