PVF.UN Partners Value Investments LP

Partners Value Investments L.P. (the “Partnership”, TSX: PVF.UN TSX:PVF.PR.U) announced today its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2023. All amounts are stated in U.S. dollars.

The Partnership recorded net loss of $8.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to net income of $21.0 million in the prior year quarter. The net loss for the quarter was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign currency movement as a result of the appreciation of the Canadian dollar, valuation losses on the trading portfolio and higher tax expenses. A loss of $9.9 million was attributable to the Equity Limited Partners ($0.15 per Equity LP unit) and income of $1.7 million was attributable to Preferred Limited Partners.

As at June 30, 2023, the market prices of a Brookfield Corporation (formerly known as Brookfield Asset Management Inc., the “Corporation”, NYSE/TSX: BN) and Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (the “Manager”, NYSE/TSX: BAM) share were $33.65 and $32.63 respectively. As at August 25, 2023, the market prices of a BN and BAM share were $32.48 and $33.23, respectively.
