BROOKFIELD, NEWS, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: BAM, TSX: BAM.A) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September30, 2020.

Bruce Flatt, CEO of Brookfield, stated, Our third quarter results reflect the strength of both our operating businesses and our asset management franchise. We generated record operating FFO in the quarter, and over the last twelve months earned a record $2.8 billion of cash available for distribution and/or reinvestment, underlining the stability and continued growth of our cash flows. With over $75 billion of capital for deployment, our business is stronger than it has ever been.

See Basis of Presentation on page 9 and a reconciliation of net (loss) income to FFO on page 6.4. Consolidated basis includes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.

Funds from operations (FFO) were $1.0billion for the quarter and $4.3 billion over the last twelve months. Fee-related earnings were $372 million for the quarter and $1.4 billion over the last twelve months, representing increases of 22% and 36% from the prior periods, respectively. This reflects record fundraising and deploymentacross our long-term and perpetual private funds, growth in our listed affiliates, and a full years contribution of fee-related earnings from our credit business. FFO from invested capital increased 34% from theprior year quarter and was driven by positive results in several of our private equity businesses and financial assets which reversed losses from the second quarter. We also recorded $162 million of disposition gains in FFO. All of this led to overall net income in the quarter of $542 million. Net income attributable to shareholders was $172million, or $0.10 per share.

Regular Dividend Declaration

The Board declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.12 per share, payable on December 31, 2020 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on November 30, 2020. The Board also declared the regular monthly and quarterly dividends on its preferred shares.

Operating Highlights

We raised $18 billion of private fund capital during the quarter, and approximately $40 billion over the last twelve months. Growth in fee-bearing capital over the last twelve months led to a 36% increase in fee-related earnings over the same period.

Fundraising included $12 billion of previously announced commitments to our latest distressed debt fund and $6 billion of commitments raised across our perpetual core strategies, private credit funds and other co-investments and separately managed accounts. We launched our European core-plus real estate fund during the quarter raising over 1 billion and exceeding its initial target, and our second vintage private infrastructure debt fund has raised over $1.8 billion to date, compared with its predecessor fund of approximately $875million. Most of our credit funds and perpetual fund strategies earn fees on invested capital, as such the capital raised in the period will become fee-earning as it is invested.

Fee-bearing capital increased $12 billion during the quarter to $290billion as at September 30, 2020. Growth in fee-bearing capital includes $10 billion of growth across our listed affiliates, as well as $4 billion of capital invested across our credit and perpetual private funds. This growth was partially offset by distributions and the end of the investment period of our third flagship infrastructure fund. We currently also have approximately $30 billion of committed capital across our strategies that will earn $300 million of fees annually once deployed.

We generated $703million of carried interest during the quarter, and our accumulated unrealized carried interest now stands at $4.0billion.

We recorded $482million of realized carried interest into income over the last twelve months, including $42million during the quarter related to distributions received from the sale of shares in one of our private equity businesses. Real asset transactions slowed meaningfully over the last six months as a result of the economic shutdown, but we have seen the pipeline of deal activity for both private and public market transactions begin to pick up again, and we expect to realize an increasing amount of carried interest as we complete monetizations within our mature vintage flagship funds.

Annualized fee revenues and target carried interest now stand at a run-rate of $6.1 billion.

Growth in fee-bearing capital generated a commensurate increase in annualized fee revenues and target carried interest. Annualized fee revenues and annualized fee-related earnings are now $3.0 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, and gross target carried interest stands at $3.1 billion, or $1.7 billion net of costs, at our share.

We generated a record $2.8 billion of cash available for distribution and/or reinvestment (CAFDR) over the lasttwelve months. As at September 30, 2020, we had $76 billion of capital available to deploy into new investments.

Excluding realized carried interest, CAFDR increased 27% over the last twelve month period. The increase is due to the growth in our asset management franchise, and continues to be very resilient due to the contracted and predictable nature of both our fee-related earnings and distributions from listed affiliates.

Deployable capital of $76 billion includes $16 billion of cash, financial assets and undrawn lines of credit in BAM and our affiliates and $60 billion of uncalled fund commitments available for new transactions. Liquidity remains very strong for high credit-worthy counterparties such as ourselves, and during the quarter we completed $1 billion of corporate financings across BAM and the listed affiliates. Subsequent to quarter-end, we also issued at a corporate level, $400 million of green subordinated notes with the proceeds to be deployed into eligible green projects.

We invested $14 billion during the current quarter, and $48 billion over the last twelve months.

During the quarter we invested $9 billion of private fund capital, along with $3 billion of co-investment capital, bringing our latest vintage of flagships to approximately 60% committed. We expect to be in the market with our next round of flagship funds shortly, starting with our next flagship real estate fund in early 2021. We funded BPYs purchase of close to $1 billion of its units/shares through substantial and normal-course issuer bids, and repurchased approximately $100 million of BAM shares since quarter end. We will remain active with repurchases as long as the shares continue to trade at meaningful discounts to our view of their underlying value. We also continued to increase the public floats of Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (BIPC) and Brookfield Renewable Corporation (BEPC) by selling approximately $500million of shares in those two securities into the markets.

BAM Reinsurance

We intend to distribute, in the first half of 2021, a special dividend in the form of a newly created paired entity, Brookfield Asset Management Reinsurance Partners (BAM Reinsurance). We expect this special dividend tobe approximately $500 million, or approximately 33 cents per share of BAM. BAM Reinsurance is the entity through which Brookfield will conduct its reinsurance and other related activities for the benefit of all shareholders of both entities.

BAM Reinsurance will be a paired share to Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and will aim to replicate the success of the structure used by us to create Brookfield Renewable Corporation and Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation. BAM Reinsurance will allow us to grow our reinsurance business in the most efficient fashion, and also provide flexibility to Brookfields shareholders in how they can own their interests in Brookfield. The attributes of these shares should be more attractive to some groups of shareholders.

As with our other paired entities, the Class A shares of BAM Reinsurance will be structured with the intention of being economically equivalent to the Class A shares of BAM. Each share of BAM Reinsurance will have the same dividend as a BAM share and shares of BAM Reinsurance will be exchangeable into shares of Brookfield at the shareholders option. Our infrastructure, renewable, and property partnerships successfully implemented this type of structure, pairing entities with shares having economic equivalency with their associated publicly traded units. In a similar manner, BAM Reinsurance will offer Brookfield shareholders an alternative security through which to hold their interests in the business and are expected to trade substantially at the same price as shares of Brookfield.

In order to launch BAM Reinsurance, Brookfield intends to pay a special dividend in the form of a fraction of a share of BAM Reinsurance for a given number of Class A shares of Brookfield. Details will be provided at the time of the declaration of the dividend, but from a corporate perspective, the transaction will be analogous to a stock split as it will not result in any underlying change to aggregate cash flows or net asset value, except for the adjustment for the number of shares outstanding and owned by all shareholders.

BAM Reinsurance is intended to provide our shareholders with a choice of holding either shares of Brookfield or the new shares of BAM Reinsurance, depending on what is most attractive to them based on their own circumstances, stated Nick Goodman, Chief Financial Officer of Brookfield. The very positive market reception, including in the case of the most recent listing of Brookfield Renewable Corporation, has encouraged us to offer a similar structure for our own shareholders, enhancing shareholders ability to meet their own financial planning objectives, while also facilitating the growth of our overall organization.

The special dividend will require the filing of a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities. BAM Reinsurance also intends to apply to list its class A shares in the United States on the NYSE and in Canada on the TSX. Subject to the receipt of all regulatory approvals, Brookfield anticipates completing the special distribution in the first half of 2021.

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 companys share of equity accounted investments FFO on a fully diluted basis. FFO consists of the following components:

-- FFO from Operating Activities represents the companys 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 companys 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 Brookfields 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.
