Corporate capitalization shows debt on a deconsolidated basis. Proportionate consolidation, which reflects our proportionate interest in the underlying entities, depicts the extent to which our underlying equity is leveraged, which we believe is an important component of enhancing shareholder returns. Consolidated capitalization reflects the full consolidation of wholly owned and partially owned entities; however, excludes amounts within equity accounted investments. 22

24 Appendix Notes, Assumptions, and Definitions Fee Bearing Capital represents the capital committed, pledged or invested in our listed partnerships, private funds, and public securities that we manage, which entitle us to earn fee revenues and/or carried interest. Fee bearing capital includes both called ( invested ) and uncalled ( pledged or committed ) amounts. Fee Revenues include base management fees, incentive distributions, performance fees and transaction and advisory fees presented within our asset management segment. Fee revenues exclude carried interest. Fee Related Earnings ( FRE ) are comprised of fee revenues less direct costs (other than costs related to carried interests). FRE gross margin is equal to FRE as a percentage of Fee Revenues. Base Management Fees are determined by contractual arrangements, are typically equal to a percentage of fee bearing capital, are accrued quarterly, include base fees earned on fee bearing capital from both clients and ourselves and are typically earned on both called and uncalled amounts. Incentive Distributions ( IDRs ) are determined by contractual arrangements and are paid to us by our three primary listed partnerships and represent a portion of distributions paid by a listed partnership above a predetermined threshold. Performance Fees are paid to us when we exceed predetermined investment returns on certain portfolios managed in our public securities activities. Performance fees are typically determined on an annual basis and are not subject to clawback in future years. Carried Interest is a contractual arrangement whereby we receive a fixed percentage of investment gains generated within a private fund provided that the investors receive a pre-determined minimum return. Carried interest is typically paid towards the end of the life of a fund after the capital has been returned to investors and may be subject to clawback until all investments have been monetized and minimum investment returns are sufficiently assured. We defer recognition of carried interest in our financial statements until they are no longer subject to adjustment based on future events. Unlike fees and incentive distributions, we only include carried interest earned in respect of third-party capital when determining our segment results. Annualized Fee Base and Target Carry is a non-ifrs measure that consists of annualized fees plus target carried interest. Annualized fees include annualized base management fees which are determined by the contractual fee rate multiplied by the current level of fee bearing capital, annualized incentive distributions based on our listed partnerships current annual distribution policies, annualized transaction and advisory fees which are equal to a simple average of the last two years revenue, annualized performance fees earned from public securities which is equal to a simple average of the last two years revenues, and target carried interest. Target carried interest is a mechanical calculation that is intended to represent the annualized carried interest we would earn on third-party private fund capital subject to carried interest on the assumption that we achieve the targeted returns on the private funds. It is determined by multiplying the target gross return of a fund, less the base management fee, by the percentage carried interest to which we are entitled to, multiplied by the amount of third-party capital, and by the utilization factor. LTM represents last twelve months of financial data. Funds from Operations ( FFO ) is a key measure of our financial performance and we use FFO to assess operating results and our businesses performance on a segmented basis. We define FFO as net income prior to fair value changes, depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and transaction costs. When determining FFO, we include our proportionate share of the FFO of equity accounted investments on a fully diluted basis. FFO 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 companies. The most directly comparable IFRS financial measure is net income. Please refer to the Reconciliation of Net Income to FFO contained in the Supplemental Information posted and maintained on our website for the relevant period. Invested Capital is the amount of common equity allocated to a business segment or business line within a segment. This measure is intended to present the net assets associated with FFO of the segment. Invested capital is equal to common equity by segment, an IFRS measure contained in the filed Interim Report and Annual Report for the relevant period. The private funds performance summary on page 15 sets forth the aggregate performance of our private investment funds by strategy (collectively, the Funds ) that Brookfield is currently managing or has previously managed, and is intended to illustrate Brookfield s experience in managing funds. Committed capital includes original committed/pledged capital, including current capital available for commitments and capital that may no longer be available given the mandate of each product. Gross Internal Rate of Return ( Gross IRR ) reflects the annualized performance before fund expenses, management fees and carried interest. Net IRR reflects annualized performance taking into account fund expenses, management fees and carried interest and are calculated on a fund level and not for any individual investor. Fund investors will likely have different performance returns than those used to aggregate net performance herein due to varying economic terms. In certain funds, Brookfield and its affiliates do not pay management fees or carried interest as a limited partner, which would otherwise result in lower returns, as such Brookfield has included a notional fee on Sponsor capital as if it were a third party investor. Gross IRR and Net IRR by strategy reflect the aggregate equity invested, realized and unrealized proceeds, fund expenses, management fees and carried interest, in the funds currency, if applicable, for the respective private investment vehicle. Aggregate performance includes certain funds that are not eligible for performance fees or carried interest and excludes funds in marketing or funds closed within 12 months of the performance calculation date. Prior performance is not indicative of future results and there can be no guarantee that future funds or investments will achieve comparable results or be able to avoid losses. Gross IRR and Net IRR reflect performance from the funds initial investment date to September 30,
