News Explained

The simplification is approved, but New BN share delivery remains tied to closing; taxable U.K. and Canadian holders have election steps.

Brookfield Corporation reports that shareholders approved its simplification transaction on July 16; the release makes closing the trigger for receiving New BN shares, so approval has occurred but the stated exchange remains tied to completion.

U.S., Canadian non-taxable, and other-country holders are told that no action is required and that they will receive New BN shares on closing; U.K. and Canadian taxable holders can file elections to defer tax.

The company also says it issued C$750 million of 10-year and 30-year Corporation notes, adding disclosed long-term financing to its capital structure.

The named milestone to monitor is the closing of the simplification transaction, together with any applicable tax-election process for taxable U.K. and Canadian holders.

Key Terms

distributable earnings, fee-bearing capital, carried interest, combined ratio, +1 more

5 terms

distributable earnings financial

"Distributable earnings (“DE”) before realizations per share increased by 15%"

Distributable earnings are the portion of a company’s reported profits that management determines is safe to pay out to shareholders after accounting for cash needs, required reserves, and non-cash bookkeeping items. Think of it like the money left in your household budget after paying bills and putting aside savings — it shows what can realistically be handed out as dividends or distributions and helps investors judge how sustainable and reliable future payouts may be.

fee-bearing capital financial

"increased fee-bearing capital to $672 billion at quarter end"

Fee-bearing capital is the amount of money a firm manages or oversees that generates direct fees — such as management, advisory, or performance fees — for the firm. For investors, it matters because this capital is the primary source of predictable revenue and profit; like rented property producing regular rent, more fee-bearing capital typically means steadier cash flow and higher potential valuation for a financial firm.

carried interest financial

"Total accumulated unrealized carried interest was $12.5 billion"

Carried interest is a share of the profits earned by investment managers from the investments they oversee, serving as their reward for successful performance. It functions like a bonus that motivates managers to maximize returns for investors, similar to earning a commission based on performance. This income is often taxed at a lower rate than regular income, making it a significant aspect of investment compensation.

combined ratio financial

"contributed to a 99% combined ratio"

The combined ratio is a way insurance companies measure how well they are doing by adding up all their costs and claims and comparing them to the money they earn from premiums. If the ratio is below 100%, it means the company is making a profit; if it's above 100%, they are losing money. It helps see if an insurance company is financially healthy or not.

non-recourse borrowings financial

"Non-recourse borrowings of managed entities"

A non-recourse borrowing is a loan where the lender’s recovery is limited to specific pledged collateral and they cannot go after the borrower’s other assets if the collateral doesn’t cover the debt. For investors, this matters because it shields a borrower’s wider balance sheet from the lender’s claims, concentrates risk on the pledged asset (like a project or property), and can affect credit risk, leverage ratios, and potential losses if the collateral underperforms—think of a mortgage where the bank can only take the house.

Record Fundraising Increases Deployable Capital to $210 Billion

Completed Acquisitions of Oaktree and Just Group While Continuing Share Repurchases

BROOKFIELD, NEWS, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Corporation (NYSE: BN, TSX: BN) announced strong financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Nick Goodman, President of Brookfield Corporation, said, “Our business performed well in the second quarter, with continued momentum driving 15% growth in earnings per share. We were active through the first six months of the year—raising $98 billion of capital, deploying $100 billion into large-scale opportunities, and monetizing $40 billion of assets at attractive returns.”

He added, “We also advanced several strategic initiatives. We expanded our global insurance platform through the acquisition of Just Group in the U.K., completed the acquisition of Oaktree, and shareholders approved our simplification transaction. These initiatives set us up for our next phase of growth, and with over $200 billion of deployable capital we are well positioned to invest at scale in the opportunities ahead.”

Asset Management delivered strong results, with fee-related earnings increasing by 20% compared to the prior year quarter. Strong fundraising across our flagship and complementary strategies, together with continued growth in credit, drove record inflows of $77 billion and increased fee-bearing capital to $672 billion at quarter end.

Wealth Solutions grew earnings by 23% compared to the prior year quarter, supported by strong organic inflows, growth in net investment income, and the first full-quarter contribution from Just Group.

Operating Businesses

• DE was $361 million ($0.15/share) in the quarter and $1.5 billion ($0.65/share) for the last twelve months.
• Cash distributions from our operating businesses were supported by the strong underlying fundamentals and resilient operating earnings of our infrastructure, energy, and private equity businesses.

• Our real estate business continued to perform well, supported by strong operating fundamentals. During the quarter, we completed 6 million square feet of office and retail leasing, with office net rents 19% above expiring levels. Our super-core and core-plus portfolios ended the quarter with over 95% occupancy, reflecting sustained tenant demand for our high-quality, well-located assets.

Total accumulated unrealized carried interest was $12.5 billion at quarter end, after realizing $121 million of net carried interest into income in the quarter, and $520 million over the last twelve months.
  
  

We ended the quarter with a record $210 billion of capital available to deploy into new investments.

• Deployable capital includes $96 billion of cash, financial assets, and undrawn credit lines at the Corporation, our affiliates and our wealth solutions business, and $114 billion of uncalled private fund commitments.

We define DE as the sum of distributable earnings before realizations from our asset management business and our wealth 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. Distributable earnings before realizations from our Asset Management business is comprised of fee-related earnings and other income (expenses), net of cash taxes and equity-based compensation costs from BAM, as well as FFO on direct investments. Distributable earnings from our Wealth Solutions business is calculated as net income from our Wealth Solutions business, excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, net income from our equity accounted investments, mark-to-market on investments and derivatives, breakage and transaction costs, and is inclusive of our proportionate share of DE from investments in associates. 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 profits generated within a private fund after achieving 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 use DE to assess our operating results and the value of Brookfield Corporation’s business and believe that many shareholders and analysts also find this measure 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 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.
