Most of our operations continued to generate favorable operating profits, driven by their revenues being largely contracted or regulated. Despite that, some of our operating businesses were impacted by the economic shutdown in the second quarter. In addition, we recorded some non-cash revaluations, largely attributed to our real estate portfolio. As a result, we recorded a net loss of

Operating Highlights
We raised
The fundraising results highlight the breadth of our product offerings and strength of our existing investor base which have allowed us to raise significant amounts of capital even amidst a global shutdown. Our core, perpetual private funds are experiencing positive fundraising momentum and we have now added a European perpetual core-plus real estate fund that recently closed with €725 million of commitments and has an active pipeline of transactions. Fundraising for the distressed debt fund will continue throughout the year and we expect this fund, by final close, to be one of our largest funds.
As at June 30, 2020 fee-bearing capital was $277 billion, representing an increase of 69% from the prior year. We have an additional
Growth in our fee-related earnings is attributable to private fund capital raised in our infrastructure and private equity flagship funds, and across our perpetual private fund strategies, as well as three quarters of fee-related earnings from our credit business. Today, our latest flagship real estate, infrastructure and private equity funds are approximately 50% invested or committed, in aggregate. We expect that we will continue to find excellent places to deploy this capital as the current economic environment begins to stabilize over the coming months and new opportunities are uncovered.

Excluding realized carried interest and performance fees, CAFDR increased 13% over the prior year period, representing the strength and resiliency of the cash flow streams of our business, even in times of market and economic volatility. Today, we continue to generate over

We expect in the coming months, as government aid tapers and companies will increasingly be in need of capital, there will be many opportunities for us to invest across all our pools of capital, including control investments within our flagship funds, non-control investments within our Special Investments program capital, and distressed debt opportunities, within the latest flagship fund.

Lastly, in late July, we completed the previously announced privatization of TerraForm Power and the concurrent spin out of Brookfield Renewable Corporation (“BEPC”) – shares of Brookfield Renewable that are economically equivalent to existing BEP units. We are pleased with the tremendous success of the BIPC spin-out completed earlier this year within Brookfield Infrastructure, and look forward to the greater flexibility for investors to participate in our high-quality renewable power portfolio through BEPC.

Basis of Presentation
This news release and accompanying financial statements are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), unless otherwise noted.
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 include 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:
- FFO from Operating Activities 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 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 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 FFO to assess our operating results and the value of Brookfield’s business and believe that many shareholders and analysts also find this measure of value to them.
We note that FFO, its components, and its per share equivalent are non-IFRS measures which do not have any standard meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and entities.
We make reference to Invested Capital. Invested Capital is defined as the amount of common equity in our segments and underlying businesses within the segments.
We make reference to Cash available for distribution and/or reinvestment, which is referring to the sum of our Asset Management segment FFO and distributions received from our ownership of investments, net of Corporate Activities FFO, equity-based compensation and preferred share dividends. This provides insight into earnings received by the corporation that are available for distribution to common shareholders or to be reinvested into the business.
We provide additional information on key terms and non-IFRS measures in our filings available at www.brookfield.com.

We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive and other factors could also adversely affect its results. Investors and other readers are urged to consider the foregoing risks, as well as other uncertainties, factors and assumptions carefully in evaluating the forward-looking information and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking information. Except as required by law, the corporation 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.
Past performance is not indicative nor a guarantee of future results.
