Operational Update

The following table presents Adjusted EBITDA by segment:

	Three Months Ended December 31,							Year Ended December 31,
US$ millions, unaudited		2025			2024				2025			2024
Industrials	$	354		$	306			$	1,281		$	1,247
Business Services		217			217				823			832
Infrastructure Services		119			160				436			606
Corporate		(38	)		(30	)			(131	)		(120	)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	652		$	653			$	2,409		$	2,565

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $2,409 million compared to $2,565 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Current year Adjusted EBITDA includes $297 million of tax recoveries at our advanced energy storage operation and reflects the impact of lower ownership in three businesses from the partial sale of interests to a Brookfield managed evergreen fund. Prior year results included $371 million of tax recoveries and $200 million of contribution from disposed operations.

Industrials segment Adjusted EBITDA was $1,281 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a 10% increase compared to prior year excluding the impact of acquisitions, dispositions and tax recoveries. Full year results included contributions from our electric heat tracing systems manufacturer and our specialty consumables and equipment manufacturer acquired in January 2025 and May 2025, respectively.

Performance at our advanced energy storage operation benefited from the growing demand of higher margin advanced batteries and strong commercial execution. Improved contribution at our engineered components manufacturer compared to prior year were supported by margin optimization initiatives and commercial discipline, despite the impact of weak market conditions and reduced volumes.

Business Services segment Adjusted EBITDA was $823 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $832 million in 2024 and included the impact from the sale of a partial interest in our dealer software and technology operation in July 2025. Full year results excluding the impact of acquisitions and dispositions increased by approximately 5% compared to prior year.

Volumes of new insurance premiums written at our residential mortgage insurer increased 26% compared to prior year, reflecting strong business performance and resiliency in the first-time homebuyer market. Full year results reflect the timing impact of slower revenue recognition under the IFRS 17 accounting standard given uncertain Canadian economic forecasts. Results at our dealer software and technology services operation were lower compared to prior year reflecting both the sale of a partial interest in the business and increased technology modernization costs. Stable renewal activity and commercial initiatives are largely offsetting the impact of churn in the business.

Infrastructure Services segment Adjusted EBITDA was $436 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $606 million in 2024. Results included the impact of the disposition of our offshore oil services' shuttle tanker operation in January 2025 and the sale of a partial interest in our work access services operation in July 2025.

Margin enhancement initiatives and the ongoing ramp-up of recent commercial wins at our lottery services operation were offset by the timing impact of reduced terminal deliveries and hardware sales compared to prior year. Lower activity levels and fleet utilization at our modular building leasing services operation impacted results during the year, partially offset by continued growth of value-added products and services.

The following table presents Adjusted EFO⁴ by segment:

	Three Months Ended December 31,							Year Ended December 31,
US$ millions, unaudited		2025			2024				2025			2024

Infrastructure Services		50			78				295			287
Corporate		(75	)		(83	)			(273	)		(331	)

Adjusted EFO for the year ended December 31, 2025 included $161 million of net gains primarily related to the disposition of the shuttle tanker operation at our offshore oil services operation. Adjusted EFO in prior year included $306 million of net gains primarily related to dispositions in our Business Services and Industrials segments and the deconsolidation of our payment processing services operation.

Strategic Initiatives

• Capital Deployment
  
  In December, we reached an agreement to acquire Fosber, a leading global provider of machinery, parts and services for the corrugated packaging industry. The business generates approximately two-thirds of its profitability from recurring aftermarket demand and as a carve-out from a larger conglomerate, we see opportunities to enhance growth and efficiency. The transaction is expected to be funded with approximately $480 million of equity, of which BBU's share is expected to be approximately $170 million for a 35% interest in the business. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the first half of 2026.

• Corporate Reorganization
  
  In connection with our previously announced plans to simplify our corporate structure, we held special meetings of BBU unitholders and BBUC shareholders on January 13, 2026 where we received the required securityholder approval for the transaction. Subsequent to the meetings, on January 16, 2026, the reorganization was approved by the Supreme Court of British Columbia. We expect to complete the transaction by the end of the first quarter, subject to final regulatory approvals.

• Repurchase Program
  
  During and subsequent to quarter end, we invested $72 million to repurchase 2.1 million of our units and shares at an average price of approximately $34 per unit and share. Since we launched our buyback program at the beginning of last year, we have returned approximately $235 million to owners through the repurchase of 8.8 million units and shares under our normal course issuer bid (NCIB).

Liquidity

We ended the year with approximately $2,135 million of liquidity at the corporate level, including $2,020 million of availability on our corporate credit facilities. Pro forma for announced and recently closed transactions and an incentive distribution declared during the quarter, corporate liquidity is approximately $2,600 million.

Dividend

Following completion of our corporate reorganization, we expect to declare a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.0625 per share, payable on March 31, 2026. The dividend is expected to be declared and record date disclosed in connection with announcing the expected closing date of the corporate reorganization. Going forward, we expect to pay an annual dividend of $0.25 per share, consistent with the current distribution and dividend paid on BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares.

1. Attributable to limited partnership unitholders, general partnership unitholders, redemption-exchange unitholders, special limited partnership unitholders and BBUC exchangeable shareholders.
2. Net income (loss) per limited partnership unit calculated as net income (loss) attributable to Unitholders less incentive distributions declared to the special limited partnership unitholder during the period, divided by the average number of limited partnership units outstanding for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 which were 88.3 million and 86.5 million, respectively (December 31, 2024: 74.3 million and 74.3 million, respectively).
3. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure of operating performance presented as net income and equity accounted income at the partnership's economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investments, respectively, excluding the impact of interest income (expense), net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, gains (losses) on dispositions, net, transaction costs, restructuring charges, revaluation gains or losses, impairment expenses or reversals, other income or expenses, and preferred equity distributions. The partnership's economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investments excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests consistent with how the partnership determines net income attributable to non-controlling interests in its IFRS consolidated statements of operating results. The partnership believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a comprehensive understanding of the ability of its businesses to generate recurring earnings which allows users to better understand and evaluate the underlying financial performance of the partnership's operations and excludes items that the partnership believes do not directly relate to revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring items necessary for business operations. Please refer to the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA included elsewhere in this news release.
4. Adjusted EFO is the partnership's segment measure of profit or loss and is presented as net income and equity accounted income at the partnership's economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investments, respectively, excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization expense, deferred income taxes, transaction costs, restructuring charges, unrealized revaluation gains or losses, impairment expenses or reversals and other income or expense items that are not directly related to revenue generating activities. The partnership's economic ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests consistent with how the partnership determines net income attributable to non-controlling interests in its IFRS consolidated statements of operating results. In order to provide additional insight regarding the partnership's operating performance over the lifecycle of an investment, Adjusted EFO includes the impact of preferred equity distributions and realized disposition gains or losses recorded in net income, other comprehensive income, or directly in equity, such as ownership changes. Adjusted EFO does not include legal and other provisions that may occur from time to time in the partnership's operations and that are one-time or non-recurring and not directly tied to the partnership's operations, such as those for litigation or contingencies. Adjusted EFO includes expected credit losses and bad debt allowances recorded in the normal course of the partnership's operations. Adjusted EFO allows the partnership to evaluate its segments on the basis of return on invested capital generated by its operations and allows the partnership to evaluate the performance of its segments on a levered basis.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking Statements and Information

Note: This news release contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Canadian provincial securities laws and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. 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, the expected closing of our corporate reorganization, expected future distributions or dividends, as well as regarding recently completed and proposed acquisitions, dispositions, and other transactions, and 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", "views", "potential", "likely" 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, investors and other readers 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 achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us or are within our control. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and our plans and strategies may vary materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements and forward-looking information herein.

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 cyclical nature of our operating businesses and general economic conditions and risks relating to the economy, including unfavorable changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, inflation and volatility in the financial markets; global equity and capital markets and the availability of equity and debt financing and refinancing within these markets; strategic actions including our ability to complete dispositions and achieve the anticipated benefits therefrom; 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; changes to U.S. laws or policies, including changes in U.S. domestic economic policies and foreign trade policies and tariffs; governmental investigations; litigation; changes in tax laws; ability to collect amounts owed; catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and pandemics/epidemics; cybersecurity incidents; the possible impact of international conflicts, wars and related 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 including those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section in our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2025 to be filed on Form 20-F.

Statements relating to "reserves" are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described herein can be profitably produced in the future. We qualify any and all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary factors.

We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on our forward-looking statements and information, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Except as required by law, we undertake 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 a Non-IFRS Measure

This news release contains references to a Non-IFRS measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions used by other entities. We believe this is a useful supplemental measure that may assist investors in assessing the financial performance of Brookfield Business Partners and its subsidiaries. However, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute 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. Unitholders' results include limited partnership units, redemption-exchange units, general partnership units, BBUC exchangeable shares and special limited partnership units. More detailed information on certain references made in this news release will be available in our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2025 to be filed on Form 20-F.
