flexible capital allow us to thrive in periods of market
volatility, and we expect to continue delivering on our broad
growth initiatives in these markets. Above all, we remain focused
on executing our plan to create long-term wealth for all of our
stakeholders.”

See endnotes on page 10.Net income in the first
quarter was $424 million. DE before realizations were
$945 million for the quarter and $4.3 billion for the
last twelve months. Both were driven by strong financial
performance across our businesses with the comparative period net
income including higher non-recurring valuation gains.
Our asset management franchise delivered growth
of 15% compared to the prior year quarter, benefiting from
continued strong fundraising and deployment, and our insurance
solutions business continues to benefit from re-deploying its
liquid and short-duration investment portfolio into higher
returning assets.
Our operating businesses continue to demonstrate
their resilience, generating a stable and growing stream of
recurring cash flows. This was supported by strong growth in
Operating Funds from Operations (“Operating FFO”) across our
infrastructure, renewable power & transition and private equity
businesses and same-store net operating income (“NOI”) growth in
our real estate business, reflecting strong underlying fundamentals
for our best-in-class assets.
During the quarter and over the last twelve
months, earnings from realizations were $212 million and
$892 million, respectively, with total DE for the quarter and
last twelve months of $1.2 billion and $5.2 billion,
respectively.
Regular Dividend Declaration
The Board declared a quarterly dividend for the
Corporation of $0.07 per share, payable on June 30, 2023 to
shareholders of record as at the close of business on May 31, 2023.
The Board also declared the regular monthly and quarterly dividends
on its preferred shares.
Operating Highlights
DE before realizations were $945 million for the
quarter and $4.3 billion for the last twelve months, representing
an increase of 24% over the prior year, after adjusting for the
special distribution of 25% of our asset management business. Total
DE for the quarter was $1.2 billion and $5.2 billion for the last
twelve months.
Distributions from our asset
management business were $678 million in the quarter and
$2.9 billion over the last twelve months, driven by a 15%
increase in the distributions from Brookfield Asset Management
compared to the prior year quarter. Fundraising continues to be
strong with clients focused on strategies investing into the
backbone of the global economy. This led to inflows of
$19 billion year-to-date and $98 billion over the past
twelve months. Fee-bearing capital ended the quarter at
$432 billion, an increase of approximately $14 billion
during the quarter and $53 billion or 14% over the last twelve
months.
Our insurance solutions
business generated distributable operating earnings of
$145 million in the quarter and $520 million over the
last twelve months, significantly higher than the comparative
periods. During the quarter, the average investment portfolio yield
was 5% on approximately $45 billion of assets, supporting
liabilities with an average cost of 3%. In February 2023, the
business announced the acquisition of Argo Group, a
well-established specialty P&C business in the U.S., further
diversifying and adding approximately $4 billion of assets to
the franchise. The shareholders of Argo Group recently approved
this transaction, which is expected to close in the second half of
this year. Our insurance solutions business remains on track to
increase its annualized earnings to $800 million by the end of
2023.
Distributions from our operating
businesses were $304 million for the quarter and
$1.5 billion over the last twelve months, demonstrating the
resilience of our underlying operations. Our infrastructure,
renewable power & transition and private equity businesses
continue to benefit from the essential nature of the services they
provide with organic levers driving earnings growth of 25% in
aggregate. Operating FFO within our real estate business was
impacted by higher interest rates but the underlying operating
performance continues to be strong, evidenced by 5% growth in NOI
of our prime retail and office assets. While the move in interest
rates has largely taken place, the revenues continue to grow and
will offset the impact of higher interest rates over time, which is
an important consideration for asset values.
Earnings from realizations of mature assets were
$212 million for the quarter and $892 million for the
last twelve months.
Total accumulated unrealized carried interest
now stands at $9.4 billion, representing a 2% increase during
the quarter, net of realized carried interest into income. We
continue to see a strong appetite for the cash-generating real
assets and businesses that we own and based on our plan for
dispositions, we expect to realize over $500 million of
realized carried interest into income this year. We recently closed
the sale of a hospitality investment in the U.S. for over
$800 million, returning a 2x multiple of capital.
We also realized $259 million of
disposition gains from the sale of principal investments and
$633 million of realized carried interest, net, over the last
twelve months.
We ended the quarter with $113 billion of
capital available to deploy into new investments.
During the quarter, we invested
$1.2 billion of balance sheet capital into our businesses to
continue to grow their operations, and returned $404 million
to shareholders through regular dividends and share repurchases. In
the last twelve months, we have repurchased $746 million of
Class A shares in the open market.
We have significant group-wide liquidity of $113
billion, which includes $33 billion of cash, financial assets and
undrawn credit lines at the Corporation and our affiliates. In
addition, our balance sheet remains conservatively capitalized,
with a weighted-average term of 12 years, and we have no maturities
until 2024.

- Amounts
attributable to non-controlling interests are calculated based on
the economic ownership interests held by non-controlling interests
in consolidated subsidiaries. By adjusting DE attributable to
non-controlling interests, we are able to remove the portion of DE
earned at non-wholly owned subsidiaries that is not attributable to
Brookfield.
- Non-IFRS measure – see Non-IFRS and
Performance Measures section on page 9.
- Includes our share of Oaktree’s
distributable earnings attributable to realized carried
interest.

Operating Businesses, generating substantial and growing free cash
flows, all of which is underpinned by a conservatively capitalized
balance sheet.
We employ a disciplined investment approach,
leveraging our global reach and the scale and flexibility of our
capital, to identify proprietary opportunities to invest on a value
basis. We then utilize our deep operating expertise, based on our
100+ year history as an owner and operator of real assets, to grow
cash flows and create value in each of our businesses to generate
strong risk-adjusted returns across market cycles.
Please note that Brookfield Corporation’s
previous audited annual and unaudited quarterly reports have been
filed on EDGAR and SEDAR and can also be found in the investor
section of its website at www.brookfield.com. Hard copies of the
annual and quarterly reports can be obtained free of charge upon
request.

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 distributions 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 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.

includes amounts attributable to non-controlling
interests. 2. Excludes amounts

2022 and the twelve months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were

management business on December 9, 2022.
