CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATIONThis presentation contains “forward-looking information” within themeaning of Canadian provincial securities laws and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S.Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the U.S.Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, “safe harbor”provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation ReformAct of 1995 and in any applicable Canadian securities regulations.Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictivein nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, andinclude statements regarding our and our subsidiaries’ operations,business, financial condition, expected financial results,performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals,ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook, as well as the outlookfor North American and international economies for the currentfiscal year and subsequent periods, and include, but are notlimited to, statements regarding our asset management. In somecases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terms suchas “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,”“seeks,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “forecasts” or negativeversions thereof and other similar expressions, or future orconditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would” and“could.”Although we believe that our anticipated future results,performance or achievements expressed or implied by theforward-looking statements and information are based uponreasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should notplace undue reliance on forward- looking statements andinformation because they involve known and unknown risks,uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond ourcontrol, which may cause our and our subsidiaries’ actual results,performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipatedfuture results, performance or achievements expressed or impliedby such forward-looking statements and information.Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially fromthose contemplated or implied by forward-looking statementsinclude, but are not limited to: the impact or unanticipated impactof general economic, political and market factors in the countriesin which we do business; the fact that our success depends onmarket demand for our products; the behavior of financial
markets, including fluctuations in interest rates and foreignexchanges rates; changes in inflation rates in North America andinternational markets; the performance of global equity and capitalmarkets and the availability of equity and debt financing andrefinancing within these markets; strategic actions includingdispositions; the competitive market for acquisitions and othergrowth opportunities; our ability to satisfy conditions precedentrequired to complete such acquisitions; our ability to effectivelyintegrate acquisitions into existing operations and attain expectedbenefits; the outcome and timing of various regulatory, legaland contractual issues; changes in accounting policies andmethods used to report financial condition (including uncertaintiesassociated with critical accounting assumptions and estimates);the effect of applying future accounting changes; businesscompetition; operational and reputational risks; technologicalchange; changes in government regulation and legislation withinthe countries in which we operate; changes in tax laws;catastrophic events, such as earthquakes and hurricanes; thepossible impact of international conflicts and other developmentsincluding terrorist acts and cyberterrorism; and other risks andfactors detailed from time to time in our documents filed with thesecurities regulators in Canada and the United States.We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that mayaffect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on ourforward-looking statements, investors and others should carefullyconsider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties andpotential events. Except as required by law, we undertake noobligation to publicly update or revise any forward-lookingstatements or information in this presentation, whether as a resultof new information, future events or otherwise.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING USE OF NON-IFRSMEASURESThis presentation contains references to Company FFO andCompany EBITDA that are not calculated in accordance with, anddo not have any standardized meaning prescribed by InternationalFinancial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). We believe such non-IFRS measures including, but not limited to, Company funds fromoperations (“Company FFO”) and Company EBITDA. As thesenon-IFRS measures ae not generally accepted accountingmeasures under IFRS, references to Company FFO andCompany EBITDA are therefore unlikely to be comparable tosimilar measures presented by other issuers and entities.
We define Company FFO as net income excluding the impact ofdepreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, breakageand transaction costs, non-cash gains or losses and other items.Company FFO is presented net to unitholders, or net to parentcompany. When determining Company FFO, we include ourproportionate share of Company FFO of equity accountedinvestments. Company FFO is further adjusted as CompanyEBITDA to exclude the impact of realized disposition gains(losses), interest expense, current income taxes, and realizeddisposition gains, current income taxes and interest expensesrelated to equity accounted investments. Company EBITDA ispresented net to unitholders, or net to parent company. For furtherinformation on Company EBITDA see “Use of Non IFRSMeasures” on page 5 of the 2016 20-F. Our definition of CompanyFFO and Company EBITDA may differ from definitions ofCompany FFO, Funds from Operations or Company EBITDA usedby other entities. We believe that Company FFO and CompanyEBITDA are useful supplemental measures that may assistinvestors in assessing the financial performance of BrookfieldBusiness Partners and its subsidiaries. Company FFO andCompany EBITDA should not be considered as the sole measuresof our performance and should not be considered in isolation from,or as a substitute for, analysis of our financial statementsprepared in accordance with IFRS. For further information onCompany FFO add Company EBITDA see “Use of Non IFRSMeasures” on page 5 of the 2016 20-F.
