Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Results

INTRODUCTION
This management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (“BPY”, the “partnership”, or “we”) covers the financial position as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) and related notes as of March 31, 2023, included elsewhere in this report, and our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2022 on Form 20-F.

We disclose a number of financial measures in this MD&A that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). Non-IFRS measures used in this MD&A are reconciled to or calculated from the most comparable IFRS measure. We utilize these measures in managing our business, including for performance measurement, capital allocation and valuation purposes and believe that providing these performance measures on a supplemental basis to our IFRS results is helpful to investors in assessing our overall performance. These financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for similar financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. We caution readers that these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from the calculations disclosed by other businesses, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by others. Reconciliations of these non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, where applicable, are included within this MD&A on page 17. We also caution readers that this MD&A may contain forward-looking statements, see page 28 for our “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

This MD&A includes financial data for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and includes material information up to May 5, 2023.

OBJECTIVES AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The partnership’s capital structure is comprised of five classes of partnership units: General partnership units (“GP Units”), limited partnership units (“LP Units”), Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership units (“REUs”), special limited partnership units of the operating partnership (“Special LP Units”) and FV LTIP units of the operating partnership (“FV LTIP Units”). In addition, the partnership issued Class A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units, Series 1 in the first quarter of 2019, Class A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units, Series 2 in the third quarter of 2019 and Class A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units, Series 3 in the first quarter of 2020 (“Preferred Equity Units”). Holders of the GP Units, LP Units, REUs, Special LP Units, FV LTIP Units will be collectively referred to throughout this MD&A as “Unitholders”. The LP Units and REUs have the same economic attributes in all respects, except that the holders of REUs have the right to request that their units be redeemed for cash consideration. In the event that Brookfield Corporation (or “the Corporation”), as the holder of the REUs exercises this right, our partnership has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the redemption request with its LP Units, rather than cash, on a one-for-one basis. As a result, the Corporation, as holder of REUs, participates in earnings and distributions on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of the LP Units of our partnership. However, given the redemption feature referenced above and the fact that they were issued by our subsidiary, we present the Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units as a component of non-controlling interests.

On December 9, 2022, the Corporation completed the distribution of 25% of its asset management business, through Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (“the Manager”), by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Manager Distribution”). The transaction resulted in the division of Brookfield into two publicly traded companies – the Manager under the stock ticker BAM and the Corporation under the stock ticker BN. In advance of the Manager Distribution, a reorganization took place within the Corporation whereby the partnership redeemed $1 billion of preferred units issued by a subsidiary of the partnership and acquired certain LP interests in several real estate funds and other investment interests from the Corporation (“Manager Reorganization”) for net consideration of $2,475 million through the issuance of Class D junior preferred shares, Series 1 and 2 of a subsidiary of the partnership, Brookfield BPY Holdings Inc. (“CanHoldco Class D Junior Preferred Shares”), to the Corporation. The LP interests and other investment interests acquisitions, including related working capital balances acquired, were accounted for as a business acquisition under common control, as discussed in Note 2 of our December 31, 2022 Financial Statements, whereby the partnership records assets and liabilities recognized as a result of transfers of businesses or subsidiaries between entities under common control at carrying value. Differences between the consideration given or received and the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities transferred are recorded within ownership changes in equity. On January 1, 2023, a further LP interest in a real estate fund was acquired from the Corporation for consideration of $588 million through the issuance of a non-interest bearing note. The funding for this acquisition, along with the subsequent $530 million capital call came through the issuance of LP Units, Special LP Units and REUs to the Corporation. After the transaction, the LP interest in BSREP IV U.S. and foreign investments previously held by the Corporation is held solely by us.

Financial data has been prepared using accounting policies in accordance with IFRS, except as otherwise noted. Unless otherwise specified, all operating and other statistical information is presented as if we own 100% of each property in our portfolio, regardless of whether we own all of the interests in each property. We believe this is the most appropriate basis on which to evaluate the performance of properties in the portfolio relative to each other and others in the market.

All dollar references, unless otherwise stated, are in millions of U.S. Dollars. Canadian Dollars (“C$”), Australian Dollars (“A$”), British Pounds (“£”), Euros (“€”), Brazilian Reais (“R$”), Indian Rupees (“₨”), Chinese Yuan (“C¥”), South Korean Won (“₩”) and United Arab Emirates Dirham (“AED”) are identified where applicable.

OVERVIEW OF THE BUSINESS
    We are Brookfield Corporation’s primary vehicle to make investments across all strategies in real estate. Our goal is to be a leading global owner and operator of high-quality real estate.

Core Office
Our diversified Core Office portfolio consists of 92 million square feet across 134 premier office assets in some of the world’s leading commercial markets such as New York, London, Sydney, Toronto, and Berlin. We target to earn core-plus total returns on this portfolio. Represented within this portfolio are some of our most iconic assets, including Manhattan West in New York and Canary Wharf in London. We focus on high-quality real estate assets in some of the best locations around the world because we have found that these outperform over very long periods of time and through economic cycles.

Core Retail
Our Core Retail portfolio consists of 110 million square feet across 109 best-in-class malls and urban retail properties across the United States. We also target to earn core-plus total returns on this portfolio. Similar to our Core Office portfolio, within our Core Retail portfolio are trophy assets such as Ala Moana in Honolulu and Fashion Show in Las Vegas which collectively represent the majority of equity attributable to Unitholders in our Core Retail portfolio. Their stable and growing cash flows ensure that we can earn attractive compounding rates of return.

LP Investments
Our LP Investments portfolio includes our equity invested in Brookfield-sponsored real estate opportunity funds, which target high-quality assets with operational upside across various real estate sectors, including office, retail, multifamily, logistics, hospitality, mixed-use and other alternative real estate. We target to earn opportunistic returns on our LP Investments portfolio. These investments have a defined hold period and typically generate the majority of profits from gains recognized from realization events, including the sale of an asset or portfolio of assets, or exit of the entire investment. As such, capital invested in our LP Investments recycles over time, as existing funds return capital, and we reinvest these proceeds in future vintages of Brookfield-sponsored funds.

There have been no material changes to our investment strategy since December 31, 2022. For a more detailed description of our investment strategy, please refer to the section titled Item 4.B. “Business Overview” in our December 31, 2022 annual report on Form 20-F.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES
We consider the following items to be important drivers of our current and anticipated financial performance:
•increases in occupancies by leasing vacant space and pre-leasing active developments;
•increases in rental rates through maintaining or enhancing the quality of our assets and as market conditions permit; and
•reductions in operating costs through achieving economies of scale and diligently managing contracts.

We also believe that key external performance drivers include the availability of the following:
•debt capital at a cost and on terms conducive to our goals;
•preferred equity capital at a reasonable cost;
•new property acquisitions and other investments that fit into our strategic plan; and
•opportunities to dispose of peak value or non-core assets.

In addition to monitoring, analyzing and reviewing earnings performance, we also review initiatives and market conditions that contribute to changes in the fair value of our investment properties. These fair value changes, combined with earnings, represent a total return on the equity attributable to Unitholders and form an important component in measuring how we have performed relative to our targets.

To measure our performance against these targets, as described above, and measure our operating performance, we focus on non-IFRS measures including net operating income (“NOI”), funds from operations (“FFO”), Company FFO, and equity attributable to Unitholders. We define these non-GAAP measures on page 17.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS
REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
In this section, we review our financial position and consolidated performance as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Further details on our results from operations and our financial positions are contained within the “Segment Performance” section beginning on page 8.

    The following acquisitions and dispositions affected our consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Unless stated otherwise, proceeds represent the selling price attributable to the properties:
Q1 2023
•We acquired five logistics assets in the United States for approximately $400 million.
•We acquired a 23% LP interest in the foreign investments owned by BSREP IV from the Corporation (“Acquisition of Foreign Investments”) for consideration of $588 million through the issuance of a non-interest bearing note. There was a subsequent $530 million capital call related to the BSREP IV US and foreign investments. The consideration for Acquisition of Foreign Investments and capital call was funded by the issuance of LP Units, Special LP Units and REUs to the Corporation.

Q4 2022
•Brookfield Corporation completed the distribution of 25% of its asset management business, through the Manager, by way of the Manager Distribution. In advance of the Manager Distribution, a reorganization took place within Brookfield Corporation wherein we redeemed $1 billion of preferred units issued by a BPY subsidiary and acquired certain LP interests in several real estate funds and other investment interests from the Corporation for net consideration of $2,475 million through the issuance of CanHoldco Class D Junior Preferred Shares, to the Corporation.
•We sold a portfolio of student housing assets in the United Kingdom in BSREP II fund for approximately £3.4 billion ($4.0 billion).
•We sold three multifamily assets in the United States for approximately $192 million.

Q3 2022
•We sold two multifamily assets in the United States for approximately $231 million.
•We deconsolidated our investment in Brookfield Premier Real Estate Partners Australia (“BPREP-A”), as a result of the dilution of our interest. Prior to the transaction, our interest was consolidated and is now reflected as a financial asset.

Q2 2022
•We sold eleven multifamily assets in the United States in the BSREP II fund for approximately $469 million.
•One mall was conveyed to the lender in satisfaction of outstanding debt obligations of $361 million.
•We acquired our joint venture partner’s incremental interest in two properties including Plaza Frontenac and Saint Louis Galleria in Missouri, bringing our ownership in each of the malls to 100%. Prior to the acquisition of the two assets, our joint venture interest was accounted for under the equity method. These two assets are now consolidated.
•We sold an office asset in the United Kingdom for approximately £294 million ($360 million).

Q1 2022
•We sold a portfolio of triple net lease assets in the United States in the BSREP I fund for approximately $3.7 billion.
•We sold a portfolio of hotel assets in the United States in the BSREP II fund for approximately $1.5 billion.

For the purposes of the following comparison discussion between the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the above transactions are referred to as the investment activities.

Operating Results

Three months ended Mar. 31,
(US$ Millions) 2023 2022
Commercial property revenue $ 1,486  $ 1,255 
Hospitality revenue 565  313 
Investment and other revenue 189  486 
Total revenue 2,240  2,054 
Direct commercial property expense 588  470 
Direct hospitality expense 508  288 
Investment and other expense 69  239 
Interest expense 1,167  600 
General and administrative expense 332  232 
Total expenses 2,664  1,829 
Fair value (losses) gains, net (53) 1,270 
Share of earnings from equity accounted investments 24  380 
Income before income taxes (453) 1,875 
Income tax (recovery) expense (59) 183 
Net (loss) income $ (394) $ 1,692 

Net (loss) income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $(394) million compared to $1,692 million for the same period in prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to fair value losses, higher interest expense resulting from higher interest rates and the reorganization of certain LP interests in connection with the Manager Reorganization, as well as lower share of earnings from equity accounted investments in our Core Office and Core Retail segments, partially offset by reduced income tax expense.

Commercial property revenue and direct commercial property expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, commercial property revenue increased by $231 million compared to the same period in the prior year due to revenue from the Manager Reorganization and Acquisition of Foreign Investments, partially offset by property dispositions in our LP Investments and Core Office segments.

Direct commercial property expense increased by $118 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Margins in 2023 were 60.4%, an increase of 2.0% compared to 2022.

Hospitality revenue and direct hospitality expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, hospitality revenue increased by $252 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was attributable to the Manager Reorganization and Acquisition of Foreign Investments, as well as the continued recovery in the hospitality sector.

Direct hospitality expense increased to $508 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $288 million in the same period in the prior year. The increase was driven by additional expenses stemming from the reorganization of certain LP interests as a result of the Manager Reorganization and Acquisition of Foreign Investments.

Investment and other revenue, and investment and other expense
Investment and other revenue includes management fees, leasing fees, development fees, interest income and other non-rental revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, investment and other revenue decreased by $297 million, primarily due to the prior period dispositions of multifamily develop-for-sale assets, partially offset by incremental revenue due to the reorganization of certain LP interests as a result of the Manager Reorganization and Acquisition of Foreign Investments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, investment and other expense decreased by $170 million primarily due to the disposition of multifamily develop-for-sale assets in the prior year, partially offset by incremental expenses due to the reorganization of certain LP Interests as a result of the Manager Reorganization and Acquisition of Foreign Investments.

Interest expense
Interest expense increased by $567 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as a result of the rising interest rate environment in the current year, asset-level financings and corporate draws and the reorganization of certain LP interests as a result of the Manager Reorganization and Acquisition of Foreign Investments, partially offset by disposition activity.

General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense increased by $100 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is due to the reorganization of certain LP interests as a result of the Manager Reorganization and Acquisition of Foreign Investments, partially offset by disposition activity.

Fair value (losses) gains, net
Fair value (losses) gains, net includes valuation gains (losses) on commercial properties and developments as well as mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments and derivatives and foreign currency gains (losses) on disposal of assets denominated in foreign currencies. While we measure and record our commercial properties and developments using valuations prepared by management in accordance with our policy, external appraisals and market comparables, when available, are used to support our valuations.

We measure all investment properties at fair value, including those held within equity accounted investments. Valuations are prepared at a balance sheet date with changes to those values recognized as gains or losses in the income statement. Our valuations are generally prepared at the individual property level by internal investment professionals with the appropriate expertise in the respective industry, geography and asset type. We leverage their extensive expertise and experience in the valuation of properties accumulated through involvement in acquisitions and dispositions, negotiations with lenders and interactions with institutional private fund investors.

We obtain external appraisals for a number of properties each year to support our valuation process and for other business purposes. We compare the results of those external appraisals to our internally prepared values and reconcile significant differences when they arise. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we obtained external appraisals of 19 of our Core Office properties representing a gross property value of $9 billion (or 4% of the portfolio). These external appraisals were within 1% of management’s valuations. Our historical dispositions further provide support for our valuations, as we typically contract at prices comparable to IFRS values.

There have been no material changes to our valuation methodology since December 31, 2022. Refer to our 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F for further detail on the valuation methodology of our investment properties and hospitality properties.

Fair value losses, net for our Core Office segment were $138 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. These losses were driven by updated market assumptions partially offset by gains from updated cashflow assumptions in the U.S and the U.K. Fair value gains, net for our Core Office segment were $100 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. These gains were driven by capturing mark-to-market rents at an asset in the U.S and improved cash flow assumptions at an asset in the U.K.

Fair value losses, net for our Core Retail segment were $35 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. These losses were primarily updated market assumptions partially offset by gains from updated leasing assumptions. Fair value gains, net for our Core Retail segment were $46 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. These gains were primarily due to higher cash flow assumptions.

Fair value gains, net for our LP Investments segment were $128 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The fair value gains for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were primarily driven by updated valuation metrics and leasing assumptions in select manufactured housing, mixed-use, multifamily, and office assets located in the U.S. and the U.K. Fair value gains, net for our LP Investments segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $1,027 million primarily driven by fair value gains in our U.S. manufactured housing portfolio.

Share of net earnings from equity accounted investments
    Our most significant equity accounted investments are Canary Wharf in the U.K, Manhattan West in New York, Ala Moana Center in Hawaii, Fashion Show in Las Vegas, Grand Canal Shoppes in Las Vegas and our interest in a retail joint venture in Brazil.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold 13% of our interest in the Grace Building in New York for approximately $83 million.

Our share of net earnings from equity accounted investments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $24 million, which represents a decrease of $356 million, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in current year earnings is primarily due to the acquisitions of our joint venture partner’s interest in certain Core Retail properties in the prior year and fair value losses in the U.S. As a result of these acquisitions, we discontinued accounting for these assets under the equity method and now consolidate these properties. This was partially offset by higher share of net earnings from our hospitality portfolio as the sector continues to recover.

Income tax expense
The partnership’s income tax expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in the prior year as compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $128,158 million in total assets, compared with $112,516 million at December 31, 2022.

Commercial properties are commercial, operating, rent-producing properties. Commercial properties increased from $66,067 million at the end of 2022 to $78,293 million at March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the Acquisition of Foreign Investments and other acquisition activity and foreign currency translation, partially offset by fair value losses and property dispositions. Refer to Note 3, Investment Properties of our Q1 2023 Financial Statements for further information.

    Commercial developments consist of commercial property development sites, density rights and related infrastructure. The total fair value of development land and infrastructure was $4,433 million at March 31, 2023, an increase of $1,915 million from the balance at December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to the Acquisition of Foreign Investments, other acquisition activity, and capital spend in our Core Office and LP investments, partially offset by an office asset becoming operational in the current year. Refer to Note 3, Investment Properties of our Q1 2023 Financial Statements for further information.

Equity accounted investments increased by $382 million since December 31, 2022 primarily due to the acquisition of certain LP interests as a result of the Acquisition of Foreign Investments, the positive impact of foreign currency translation, and an increase in share of net earnings from equity accounted investments, partially offset by distributions and the disposition of interests in retail assets in the U.S. Refer to Note 4, Equity Accounted Investments of our Q1 2023 Financial Statements for further information.

Property, plant and equipment increased by $792 million since December 31, 2022, primarily due to the acquisition of certain LP interests as a result of the Acquisition of Foreign Investments, acquisitions within our LP investments and the positive impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by disposition activity.

Our debt obligations increased to $68,243 million at March 31, 2023 from $58,562 million at December 31, 2022.

Revenue varies from quarter to quarter due to acquisitions and dispositions of commercial and other income producing assets, changes in occupancy levels, including mandated closures, as well as the impact of leasing activity at market net rents. In addition, revenue also fluctuates as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates and seasonality. Seasonality primarily affects our retail assets, wherein the fourth quarter exhibits stronger performance in conjunction with the holiday season. In addition, our North American hospitality assets generally have stronger performance in the winter and spring months compared to the summer and fall months, while our European hospitality assets exhibit the strongest performance during the summer months. Fluctuations in our net income are also impacted by the fair value of properties in the period to reflect changes in valuation metrics driven by market conditions or property cash flows.

Core Office

Overview
    Our diversified Core Office portfolio consists of 92 million square feet across 134 premier office assets in some of the world’s leading commercial markets such as New York, London, Sydney, Toronto, and Berlin. We target to earn core-plus total returns on this portfolio. Represented within this portfolio are some of our most iconic assets, including Manhattan West in New York and Canary Wharf in London. We focus on high-quality real estate assets in some of the best locations around the world because we have found that these outperform over very long periods of time and through economic cycles.

Summary of Operating Results
The following table presents FFO, CFFO and net income in our Core Office segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Three months ended Mar. 31,
(US$ Millions) 2023 2022
FFO $ 17  $ 139 
CFFO 25  149 
Net (loss) income (82) 418 

FFO from our Core Office segment was $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $139 million in the same period in the prior year. This decrease was driven by higher interest expense due to increased interest rates on our variable debt obligations coupled with an increase in debt obligations as a result of financing activity as well as decreased earnings from equity accounted investments due to disposition activity, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation.
        8         



For the three months ended March 31, 2023, CFFO decreased by $124 million primarily attributable to the FFO movements discussed above.

Net (loss) income decreased by $500 million to $(82) million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower operating income and fair value losses across the portfolio, as discussed above.

(4)Presented using normalized foreign exchange rates, using the March 31, 2023 exchange rate.

NOI from our consolidated properties decreased to $245 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year primarily due to lease expirations and the deconsolidation of our BPREP-A investments, partially offset by the positive impact of foreign currency translation.

NOI from our unconsolidated properties, which is presented on a proportionate basis, increased to $135 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $120 million in the prior year due to a development becoming operational since the prior year.

The following table presents the changes in investment properties in the Core Office segment from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023:

Commercial properties totaled $22,090 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $22,129 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease was driven primarily by fair value losses in the period, partially offset by an asset becoming operational, incremental capital expenditures in the U.S., and the positive impact of foreign currency translation.

Commercial developments decreased by $61 million from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of an asset becoming operational, partially offset by incremental capital expenditures and fair value gains in the period.

Equity accounted investments increased by $34 million since December 31, 2022 to $8,581 million at March 31, 2023. The increase was driven by the positive impact of foreign currency translation and share of net earnings, partially offset by distributions received.

Debt obligations increased by $4 million since December 31, 2022 to $14,270 million at March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by asset-level financing activity and the positive impact of foreign currency translation.

Our development pipeline consists of prominent, large-scale projects located primarily in the high growth markets of London and New York. For the office developments, we generally look to secure anchor leases before launching the projects. We monitor the scope and progress of our active developments and have an established track record of completion on time and within budget. We have recently completed office towers in the prime markets of New York, London, Toronto, Perth and Dubai and completed two urban multifamily developments in New York. Our current office and redevelopment projects stand at an average 73% pre-leased and are generally tracking on time and budget.

Core Retail

Overview
Our Core Retail portfolio consists of 110 million square feet across 109 best-in-class malls and urban retail properties across the United States. We also target to earn core-plus total returns on this portfolio. Similar to our Core Office portfolio, within our Core Retail portfolio are trophy assets such as Ala Moana in Honolulu and Fashion Show in Las Vegas which collectively represent the majority of equity attributable to Unitholders in our Core Retail portfolio. Their stable and growing cash flows ensure that we can earn attractive compounding rates of return.

Summary of Operating Results
The following table presents FFO, CFFO and net income (loss) in our Core Retail segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Three months ended Mar. 31,
(US$ Millions) 2023 2022
FFO $ 102  $ 168 
CFFO 118  180 
Net income 16  292 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, FFO earned in our Core Retail segment was $102 million compared to $168 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is due to higher interest expense as a result of the rising interest rate environment, partially offset by increased earnings as a result of the retail business’ continued recovery.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, CFFO decreased by $62 million respectively, primarily attributable to the FFO movements discussed above.

Net income was $16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to income of $292 million during the same period in the prior year due to the movements discussed above, as well as fair value losses compared to fair value gains in the prior year.

NOI from our consolidated properties increased to $255 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $247 million in the same quarter in 2022 primarily due to increased overage and percentage rent in addition to higher occupancy and higher NOI from incremental interest acquisitions from our joint venture partner in the prior year, partially offset by increased operating expenses due to malls operating at full capacity.

NOI from our unconsolidated properties remain unchanged at $187 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022, primarily as a result of recovery within the sector, offset by decreases from an incremental interest acquisition from our joint venture partner, which resulted in the acquired assets being consolidated.

LP Investments

Overview
    Our LP Investments portfolio includes our equity invested in Brookfield-sponsored real estate opportunity funds, which target high-quality assets with operational upside across various real estate sectors, including office, retail, multifamily, logistics, hospitality, triple net lease, student housing and manufactured housing. We target to earn opportunistic returns on our LP Investments portfolio.
    The partnership has interests in the following Brookfield-sponsored real estate opportunity funds:

•BSREP I - 31% interest in BSREP I, which is an opportunistic real estate fund, targeting gross returns of 20%. The fund is in its 11th year, is fully invested and is executing realizations.

•BSREP II - 26% interest in BSREP II, which is an opportunistic real estate fund, targeting gross returns of 20%. The fund is in its 8th year, is fully invested and is executing realizations.

•BSREP III - 7% interest in BSREP III, which is an opportunistic real estate fund, targeting gross returns of 20%; the fund is in its 6th year.

•BSREP IV - 23% interest in BSREP IV, which is an opportunistic real estate fund, targeting gross returns of 20%. The fund is in its 2nd year.

•A blended 32% interest in two value-add multifamily fund targeting gross returns of 25%. These funds seek to invest in a geographically diverse portfolio of U.S. multifamily properties through acquisition and development.

•A blended 31% interest in a series of real estate debt fund which seek to invest in commercial real estate debt secured by properties in strategic locations.

While our economic interest in these funds are less than 50% in each case, we consolidate several of the portfolios, specifically BSREP I, BSREP II, and BSREP IV, held through the LP Investments as Brookfield Corporation’s oversight as general partner together with our exposure to variable returns of the investments through our LP interests provide us with control over the investments. We do not consolidate our interest in BSREP III as our 7% non-voting interest does not provide us with control over the investment and therefore is accounted for as a financial asset.
        12         



Summary of Operating Results
    Our LP investments, unlike our Core portfolios, have a defined hold period and typically generate the majority of profits from realization events including the sale of an asset or portfolio of assets or the exit of the entire investment. The combination of gains from realization events and FFO earned during the hold period represent our earnings on capital invested in these funds and, once distributed by the Brookfield-sponsored real estate opportunity funds, provide liquidity to fund reinvestment.

The following table presents FFO, CFFO, and net income in our LP Investments segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Three months ended Mar. 31,
(US$ Millions) 2023 2022
FFO $ (30) $ 65 
CFFO (25) 78 
Net (loss) income (207) 1,042 

FFO decreased by $95 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by higher interest expense as a result of the acquisition of certain LP interests as a result of the Manager Reorganization and Acquisition of Foreign Investments, disposition activity and temporary borrowings on subscription facilities, partially offset by higher revenues as a result of the transaction.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, CFFO decreased by $103 million for the reasons discussed above.

Net (loss) income decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 by $1,249 million. The prior period included material fair value gains on our manufactured housing portfolio and a mixed-use asset in South Korea. In the current year, we had modest fair value gains from office assets in Brazil and our U.S. logistics portfolio, partially offset by valuation losses due to updated valuation metrics and leasing assumptions in select office assets located in the U.K., Europe and the U.S. and manufactured housing, as well as disposition activity.

Corporate
Certain amounts are allocated to our corporate segment as those activities should not be used to evaluate our other segments’ operating performance.

Summary of Operating Results
The following table presents FFO, CFFO and net (loss) in our corporate segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Three months ended Mar. 31,
(US$ Millions) 2023 2022
FFO $ (188) $ (174)
CFFO (187) (173)
Net loss (121) (60)

FFO was a loss of $188 million (2022 - loss of $174 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Corporate FFO includes interest expense and general and administrative expense.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, interest expense totaled $100 million (2022 - $71 million), which reflects $25 million (2022 - $25 million) of interest expense on capital securities and $75 million (2022 - $46 million) of interest expense on our credit facilities and corporate bonds.

Another component of FFO is general and administrative expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, general and administrative expense consisted of $50 million of management fees and equity enhancement fees (2022 - $55 million) and $62 million (2022 - $14 million) of other corporate costs. The management fee is calculated at an annualized rate of 1.05% of the sum of the following amounts, as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter: (1) the equity attributable to unitholders for our Core Office, Core Retail and the Corporate segments; and (ii) the carrying value of the Canholdco Class B Common Shares.

The three months ended March 31, 2023 includes property development revenue of $32 million (2022 - nil) as a result of the Manager Reorganization in the prior period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we also recorded income tax recovery of $63 million (2022 - income tax of $17 million), primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income.

As of March 31, 2023, the carrying value of the Canholdco Class B Common Shares was $1,689 million (December 31, 2022 - $1,759 million).
        13         


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We attempt to maintain a level of liquidity to ensure we are able to participate in investment opportunities as they arise and to better withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances. Our primary sources of liquidity include cash, undrawn committed credit facilities, construction facilities, cash flow from operating activities and access to public and private providers of capital. In addition, we structure our affairs to facilitate monetization of longer-duration assets through financings and co-investor participations.

The principal sources of our operating cash flow are from our consolidated properties as well as properties in joint venture arrangements. These sources generate a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, debt service and dividends to holders of our preferred units. Cash is used in investing activities to fund acquisitions, development or redevelopment projects and recurring and nonrecurring capital expenditures. These balances may fluctuate as a result of timing differences relating to financing and investing activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our operating cash flow was $(847) million, cash flow from investing activities was $(148) million and cash used for financing activities was $(124) million.

We finance our assets principally at the operating company level with asset-specific debt that generally has long maturities, few restrictive covenants and with recourse only to the asset. We endeavor to maintain prudent levels of debt and strive to ladder our principal repayments over a number of years.

The following table summarizes our secured debt obligations on investment properties by contractual maturity over the next five years and thereafter:

(US$ Millions) Mar. 31, 2023
2023 $ 15,996 
2024 12,882 
2025 6,162 
2026 3,173 
2027 3,967 
2028 and thereafter 6,360 
Deferred financing costs (251)
Secured debt obligations $ 48,289 
Debt to investment property ratio 58.4  %

We generally believe that we will be able to either extend the maturity date, repay, or refinance the majority of the debt that is scheduled to mature in 2023-2024, however, approximately 2% of our debt obligations represent non-recourse mortgages where we have suspended contractual payments. We are currently engaging in modification or restructuring discussions with the respective creditors. These negotiations may, under certain circumstances, result in certain properties securing these loans being transferred to the lenders.

For further discussion on our liquidity and capital resources, refer to our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2022 on Form 20-F.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The financial results of our business are impacted by the performance of our properties and various external factors influencing the specific sectors and geographic locations in which we operate, including: macro-economic factors such as economic growth, changes in currency, inflation and interest rates (including recent significant increases in market interest rates); regulatory requirements and initiatives; and litigation and claims that arise in the normal course of business.

    There have been no material changes to risk factors facing our business, including tenant credit risk, lease rollover risk and other risks, since December 31, 2022. For a more detailed description of the risk factors facing our business, please refer to the section entitled Item 3.D. “Key Information - Risk Factors” in our December 31, 2022 annual report on Form 20-F.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISKS
We and our operating entities use derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage financial risks, including interest rate, commodity, equity price and foreign exchange risks. The use of derivative contracts is governed by documented risk management policies and approved limits. We do not use derivatives for speculative purposes. We and our operating entities use the following derivative instruments to manage these risks:

•foreign currency forward contracts to hedge exposures to Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, British Pound, Euro, Chinese Yuan, Brazilian Real, Indian Rupee and South Korean Won denominated investments in foreign subsidiaries and foreign currency denominated financial assets;
•interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with planned refinancings and existing variable rate debt;
•interest rate caps to hedge interest rate risk on certain variable rate debt; and
•cross-currency swaps to manage interest rate and foreign currency exchange rates on existing variable rate debt.

We are progressing through our transition plan to address the impact and effect required changes as a result of amendments to the contractual terms of Interbank Offered Rates (“IBOR”) referenced floating-rate borrowings, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and to update hedge designations. Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) replaced £ London Interbank Offered Rate (“£ LIBOR”), and one week and two month US$ LIBOR were discontinued effective December 31, 2021. Euro Short-term Rate (“€STR”) was published as an alternative to Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) during 2021, though EURIBOR remains available for Euro lending. It is currently expected that Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) will replace US$ LIBOR, and Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) will replace Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”), though the transition period has been extended to June 2023 for the remaining US$ LIBOR and June 2024 for CDOR. The partnership has addressed the impact and effected the changes required as a result of amendments to the contractual terms of £ LIBOR referenced floating-rate borrowings, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and to update hedge designations. The partnership is finalizing the changes required as a result of amendments to the contractual terms of US$ LIBOR referenced floating-rate borrowings, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and to update hedge designations. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the partnership’s financial reporting.

There have been no other material changes to our financial risk exposure or risk management activities since December 31, 2022. Please refer to Note 32, Financial Instruments in our December 31, 2022 annual report on Form 20-F for a detailed description of our financial risk exposure and risk management activities, and refer to Note 27, Financial Instruments of our Q1 2023 Financial Statements for further information on derivative financial instruments as at March 31, 2023.

RELATED PARTIES
    In the normal course of operations, the partnership enters into transactions with related parties. These transactions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. These transactions have been measured at exchange value and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The immediate parent of the partnership is Brookfield Property Partners Limited. The ultimate parent of the partnership is Brookfield Corporation. Other related parties of the partnership include Brookfield Corporation’s subsidiaries and operating entities, certain joint ventures and associates accounted for under the equity method, as well as officers of such entities and their spouses.

On December 9, 2022, the Corporation completed the distribution of 25% of its asset management business, by way of the Manager Distribution. In advance of the Manager Distribution, a Manager Reorganization took place for net consideration of $2,475 million through the issuance of CanHoldco Class D Junior Preferred Shares, to the Corporation. The LP interests and other investment interests acquisitions, including related working capital balances acquired, were accounted for as a business acquisition under common control, as discussed in Note 2 to the partnership’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, whereby we record assets and liabilities recognized as a result of transfers of businesses or subsidiaries between entities under common control at carrying value. Differences between the consideration given or received and the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities transferred are recorded within ownership changes in equity.
    

On January 1, 2023, we acquired a 23% LP interest in the foreign investments owned by BSREP IV from the Corporation for consideration of $588 million through the issuance of a non-interest bearing note. In February 2023, there was a $530 million capital call in respect to BSREP IV US and foreign investments. We repaid the non-interest bearing note and funded the capital call through the issuance of LP Units, Special LP Units and REUs to the Corporation. After the transaction, the LP interest in BSREP IV US and foreign investments previously held by the Corporation are held solely by us.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES, AND JUDGEMENTS
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The result of our ongoing evaluation of these estimates forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.

For further reference on accounting policies and critical judgments and estimates, see our accounting policies contained in Note 2 to the December 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements and Note 2, Summary of Material Accounting Policy Information of the Financial Statements.

TREND INFORMATION
We seek to increase the cash flows from our office and retail property activities through continued leasing activity as described below. In particular, we are operating below our historical office occupancy levels, which provides the opportunity to expand cash flows through higher occupancy. There remains some uncertainty in the near-term surrounding leasing trends, market rates, and the ability to exit investments in the partnership’s expected timeframe, which the partnership will continue to monitor and mitigate. In addition, we expect to face a meaningful amount of lease rollover in 2023 and 2024, which may restrain FFO growth from this part of our portfolio in the near future. Our belief as to the opportunities for our partnership to increase its occupancy levels, lease rates and cash flows is based on assumptions about our business and markets that management believes are reasonable in the circumstances. There can be no assurance as to growth in occupancy levels, lease rates or cash flows. There also remains some uncertainty in the recent rising interest rate environment, which we will continue to monitor and mitigate its impact on borrowing costs and our ability to refinance existing debt. See “Statement Regarding Forward-looking Statements and Use of Non-IFRS Measures”.

We believe our global scale and best-in-class operating platforms provide us with a unique competitive advantage as we are able to efficiently allocate capital around the world toward those sectors and geographies where we see the greatest returns. We actively recycle assets on our balance sheet as they mature and reinvest the proceeds into higher yielding investment strategies, further enhancing returns. In addition, due to the scale of our stabilized portfolio and flexibility of our balance sheet, our business model is self-funding and does not require us to access capital markets to fund our continued growth.

Given the small amount of new office and retail development that occurred over the last decade, we see an opportunity to advance our development inventory in the near term in response to demand we are seeing in our major markets. In addition, we continue to reposition and redevelop existing retail properties, in particular, a number of the highest performing shopping centers in the United States.

A number of our assets are interest rate sensitive: increases in long-term interest rates will, absent all else, increase the partnership’s interest rate expense, impacting profitability, and decrease the value of these assets by reducing the present value of the cash flows expected to be produced by the asset. An increase in interest rates could decrease the amount buyers may be willing to pay for our properties, thereby reducing the market value of our properties and limiting our ability to sell properties or to obtain mortgage financing secured by our properties. Further, increased interest rates may effectively increase the cost of properties that we acquire to the extent that we utilize leverage for those acquisitions and may result in a reduction in the acquisition price to the extent we reduce the amount we offer to pay for properties to a price that sellers may not accept. Although we attempt to manage interest rate risk, there can be no assurance that we will hedge such exposure effectively or at all in the future. Accordingly, increases in interest rates above that which we anticipate based upon historical trends would adversely affect our cash flows.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There have been no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting that have occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
To measure our operating performance, we focus on NOI, FFO, CFFO, net income attributable to Unitholders, and equity attributable to Unitholders. Some of these performance metrics do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may differ from similar metrics used by other companies.

•NOI: revenues from our commercial properties operations less direct commercial property expenses before the impact of depreciation and amortization (“Commercial property NOI”) and revenues from our hospitality operations less direct hospitality expenses before the impact of depreciation and amortization (“Hospitality NOI”).
•FFO: net income, prior to fair value gains, net, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and income taxes less non-controlling interests of others in operating subsidiaries and properties therein. When determining FFO, we include our proportionate share of the FFO of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and associates, as well as gains (or losses) related to properties developed for sale.
•Company FFO: FFO before the impact of depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets, transaction costs, gains (losses) associated with non-investment properties, imputed interest on equity accounted investments and the partnership’s share of BSREP III FFO. The partnership accounts for its investment in BSREP III as a financial asset and the income (loss) of the fund is not presented in the partnership’s results. Distributions from BSREP III, recorded as dividend income under IFRS, are removed from investment and other income for Company FFO presentation.
•Net income attributable to Unitholders: net income attributable to holders of GP Units, LP Units, REUs, Special LP Units, Exchange LP Units (prior to the Privatization), FV LTIP Units and BPYU Units.
•Equity attributable to Unitholders: equity attributable to holders of GP Units, LP Units, Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units, Special LP Units, Exchange LP Units (prior to the Privatization), FV LTIP Units and BPYU Units.

    NOI is a key indicator of our ability to impact the operating performance of our properties. We seek to grow NOI through pro-active management and leasing of our properties. Because NOI excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year-over-year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates and rental rates. We reconcile NOI to net income on page 18.

We also consider FFO an important measure of our operating performance. FFO is a widely recognized measure that is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of real estate entities, particularly those that own and operate income producing properties. Our definition of FFO includes all of the adjustments that are outlined in the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition of FFO, including the exclusion of gains (or losses) from the sale of investment properties, the add back of any depreciation and amortization related to real estate assets and the adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In addition to the adjustments prescribed by NAREIT, we also make adjustments to exclude any unrealized fair value gains (or losses) that arise as a result of reporting under IFRS, and income taxes that arise as certain of our subsidiaries are structured as corporations as opposed to real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). These additional adjustments result in an FFO measure that is similar to that which would result if our partnership was organized as a REIT that determined net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which is the type of organization on which the NAREIT definition is premised. Our FFO measure will differ from other organizations applying the NAREIT definition to the extent of certain differences between the IFRS and U.S. GAAP reporting frameworks, principally related to the timing of revenue recognition from lease terminations and sale of properties. Because FFO excludes fair value gains (losses), including equity accounted fair value gains (losses), realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment properties, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and income taxes, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year-over-year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We do not use FFO as a measure of cash flow generated from operating activities. We reconcile FFO to net income on page 18 as we believe net income is the most comparable measure.
    
In addition, we consider Company FFO a useful measure for securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our partnership’s performance. Company FFO, similar to FFO discussed above, provides a performance measure that reflects the impact on operations of trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and interest costs. In addition, the adjustments to Company FFO relative to FFO allow the partnership insight into these trends for the real estate operations, by adjusting for non-real estate components. We reconcile net income to Company FFO on page 18.

    Net income attributable to Unitholders and Equity attributable to Unitholders are used by the partnership to evaluate the performance of the partnership as a whole as each of the Unitholders participates in the economics of the partnership equally.

SUBSIDIARY PUBLIC ISSUERS
Brookfield Property Split Corp. (“BOP Split Corp.”) was incorporated for the purpose of being an issuer of preferred shares and owning a portion of the partnership’s investment in Brookfield Office Properties Inc. (“BOPI”) common shares. Pursuant to the terms of a Plan of Arrangement, holders of outstanding BPO Class AAA Preferred Shares Series G, H, J and K, which were convertible into BPO common shares, were able to exchange their shares for BOP Split Senior Preferred Shares, subject to certain conditions. The BOP Split Senior Preferred shares are listed on the TSX and began trading on June 11, 2014. All shares issued by BOP Split are retractable by the holders at any time for cash.

In connection with an internal restructuring completed in July 2016, the partnership and certain of its related entities agreed to guarantee all of BPO’s Class AAA Preferred Shares and all of BPO’s debt securities issued pursuant to BPO’s indenture dated December 8, 2009.

In April 2018, the partnership formed two subsidiaries, Brookfield Property Finance ULC and Brookfield Property Preferred Equity Inc. to act as issuers of debt and preferred securities, respectively. The partnership and certain of its related entities have agreed to guarantee securities issued by these entities.

Brookfield Property Partners L.P.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (“BPY” or the “partnership”) was formed as a limited partnership under the laws of Bermuda, pursuant to a limited partnership agreement dated January 3, 2013, as amended and restated on August 8, 2013. BPY is a subsidiary of Brookfield Corporation, formerly known as Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“BN,” “the Corporation,” or the “parent company”) and is the primary entity through which the parent company and its affiliates own, operate, and invest in commercial and other income producing property on a global basis.

The partnership’s sole direct investment is a 36% managing general partnership units (“GP Units” or “GP”) interest in Brookfield Property L.P. (the “operating partnership”). The GP Units provide the partnership with the power to direct the relevant activities of the operating partnership.

The partnership’s 6.5% Preferred Units, Series 1, 6.375% Preferred Units, Series 2, 5.75% Preferred Units, Series 3, and Brookfield Property Preferred L.P.’s (“New LP”) 6.75% Preferred Units, Series 1 are traded on the Nasdaq under the symbols “BPYPP”, “BPYPO”, “BPYPN”, and “BPYPM”, respectively. The New LP 6.75% Preferred Units, Series 1 are also traded on the TSX under the symbol “BPYP.PR.A”.

The registered head office and principal place of business of the partnership is 73 Front Street, 5th Floor, Hamilton HM 12, Bermuda.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
a)Statement of compliance
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the partnership and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB, have been omitted or condensed.

These condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the partnership on May 5, 2023.
b)Basis of presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those used in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. Consequently, the information included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the partnership’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022. Effective January 1, 2023, the partnership adopted the Disclosure of Accounting Policies (amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2). The amendments to IAS 1 require that the partnership discloses its material accounting policies instead of its significant accounting policies. As a result of the adoption of these amendments, there were no adjustments to the presentation or amounts recognized in the interim financial statements.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented in accordance with IFRS. The results reported in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should not necessarily be regarded as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and have been presented in U.S. Dollars rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise indicated.

c)Critical judgements and estimates in applying accounting policies
The preparation of the partnership’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the partnership’s accounting policies. The accounting policies and critical estimates and assumptions have been set out in Note 2, to the partnership’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

d)Future accounting policies
The partnership is currently assessing the impact of Amendments to IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current. The amendments to IAS 1 affect only the presentation of liabilities as current or non-current in the consolidated balance sheets and not the amount or timing of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, or the information disclosed about those items. The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period, specify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether the partnership will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability, explain that rights are in existence if covenants with which an entity is required to comply on or before the end of the reporting period, and introduce a definition of ‘settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. The amendments are applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted. The partnership is in the process of determining the impact of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

(4)Includes right-of-use commercial properties and commercial developments of $1,089 million and $128 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $1,045 million and $127 million). Current lease liabilities of $133 million (December 31, 2022 - $122 million) have been included in accounts payable and other liabilities and non-current lease liabilities of $854 million (December 31, 2022 - $810 million) have been included in other non-current liabilities.

The partnership determines the fair value of each commercial property based upon, among other things, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases reflecting market conditions at the applicable balance sheet dates, less future cash outflows in respect of such leases. Investment property valuations are generally completed by undertaking one of two accepted income approach methods, which include either: i) discounting the expected future cash flows, generally over a term of 10 years including a terminal value based on the application of a capitalization rate to estimated year 11 cash flows; or ii) undertaking a direct capitalization approach whereby a capitalization rate is applied to estimated current year cash flows. Where there has been a recent market transaction for a specific property, such as an acquisition or sale of a partial interest, the partnership values the property on that basis. In determining the appropriateness of the methodology applied, the partnership considers the relative uncertainty of the timing and amount of expected cash flows and the impact such uncertainty would have in arriving at a reliable estimate of fair value. The partnership prepares these valuations considering asset and market specific factors, as well as observable transactions for similar assets. The determination of fair value requires the use of estimates, which are internally determined and compared with market data, third-party reports and research as well as observable conditions.

Except for the impacts of interest rates and inflation, there are currently no known trends, events or uncertainties that the partnership reasonably believes could have a sufficiently pervasive impact across the partnership’s businesses to materially affect the methodologies or assumptions utilized to determine the estimated fair values reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Discount rates and capitalization rates are inherently uncertain and may be impacted by, among other things, movements in interest rates in the geographies and markets in which the assets are located. Changes in estimates of discount and capitalization rates across different geographies and markets are often independent of each other and not necessarily in the same direction or of the same magnitude. Further, impacts to the partnership’s fair values of commercial properties from changes in discount or capitalization rates and cash flows are usually inversely correlated. Decreases (increases) in the discount rate or capitalization rate result in increases (decreases) of fair value. Such decreases (increases) may be mitigated by decreases (increases) in cash flows included in the valuation analysis, as circumstances that typically give rise to increased interest rates (e.g., strong economic growth, inflation) usually give rise to increased cash flows at the asset level. Refer to the table below for further information on valuation methods used by the partnership for its asset classes.

Commercial developments are also measured using a discounted cash flow model, net of costs to complete, as of the balance sheet date. Development sites in the planning phases are measured using comparable market values for similar assets.

In accordance with its policy, the partnership generally measures and records its commercial properties and developments using valuations prepared by management. However, for certain subsidiaries, the partnership relies on quarterly valuations prepared by external valuation professionals. Management compares the external valuations to the partnership’s internal valuations to review the work performed by the external valuation professionals. Additionally, a number of properties are externally appraised each year and the results of those appraisals are compared to the partnership’s internally prepared values.

Capital securities includes $474 million (December 31, 2022 - $474 million) of preferred equity interests issued in connection with the Privatization which have been classified as a liability, rather than as a non-controlling interest, due to the fact that the holders of such interests can demand cash payment upon maturity of July 26, 2081, for the liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit and any accumulated unpaid dividends.

NOTE 26. OBLIGATIONS, GUARANTEES, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER
In the normal course of operations, the partnership and its consolidated entities execute agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third parties in transactions such as dispositions, acquisitions, sales of assets and sales of services.
Certain of the partnership’s operating subsidiaries have also agreed to indemnify their directors and certain of their officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings prevent the partnership from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that it could be required to pay third parties as the agreements do not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, neither the partnership nor its consolidated subsidiaries have made significant payments under such indemnification agreements.
The partnership and its operating subsidiaries may be contingently liable with respect to litigation and claims that arise from time to time in the normal course of business or otherwise.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). Fair value measurement establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets represent a Level 1 valuation. When quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the partnership maximizes the use of observable inputs within valuation models.
        24             


When all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, the valuation is classified as Level 2. Valuations that require the significant use of unobservable inputs are considered Level 3, which reflect the partnership’s market assumptions and are noted below. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

The following table outlines financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements and the level of the inputs used to determine those fair values in the context of the hierarchy as defined above:

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the partnership transferred its preferred shares in an operating company from Level 3 to Level 1, as the operating company underwent an initial public offering. The carrying value of the investment at March 31, 2023 is $13 million (December 31, 2022 - $10 million).

NOTE 28. RELATED PARTIES
In the normal course of operations, the partnership enters into transactions with related parties. These transactions have been measured at exchange value and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The immediate parent of the partnership is Brookfield Property Partners Limited. The ultimate parent of the partnership is Brookfield Corporation. Other related parties of the partnership include Brookfield Corporation’s subsidiaries and operating entities, certain joint ventures and associates accounted for under the equity method, as well as officers of such entities and their spouses.

The partnership has a management agreement with its service providers, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Brookfield Corporation. Pursuant to a Master Services Agreement, the partnership pays a base management fee (“base management fee”), to the service providers. The management fee is calculated at an annualized rate of 1.05% of the sum of the following amounts, as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter: (1) the equity attributable to unitholders for our Core Office, Core Retail and the Corporate segments; and (ii) the carrying value Canholdco Class B Common Shares. The amount of the equity enhancement distribution is reduced by the amount by which the base management fee is greater than $50 million per annum, plus annual inflation adjustments. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the partnership paid a base management fee of $50 million (2022 - $55 million).

In connection with the issuance of preferred equity units of the operating partnership to a third party in the fourth quarter of 2014, Brookfield Corporation contingently agreed to acquire the seven-year and ten-year tranches of preferred equity units from the holder for the initial issuance price plus accrued and unpaid distributions and to exchange such units for preferred equity units with terms and conditions substantially similar to the twelve-year tranche to the extent that the market price of the LP Units is less than 80% of the exchange price at maturity. On December 30, 2021, Brookfield Corporation acquired the seven-year tranche of preferred equity units from the holder and exchanged such units for Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units. The seven-year tranche of preferred equity units were subsequently canceled.

On December 9, 2022, Brookfield Corporation completed the distribution of 25% of its asset management business. In advance of the Manager Distribution, a reorganization took place within Brookfield Corporation whereby the partnership redeemed $1 billion of preferred units issued by a subsidiary of the partnership and acquired certain LP interests in several real estate funds and other investment interests from the Corporation (“Manager Reorganization”) for net consideration of $2,475 million through the issuance of Class D junior preferred shares, Series 1 and 2 of a subsidiary of the partnership, Brookfield BPY Holdings Inc. (“CanHoldco Class D Junior Preferred Shares”), to the Corporation. The LP interests and other investment interests acquisitions, including related working capital balances acquired, were accounted for as a business acquisition under common control, as discussed in Note 2 to the partnership’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, whereby the partnership records assets and liabilities recognized as a result of transfers of businesses or subsidiaries between entities under common control at carrying value. Differences between the consideration given or received and the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities transferred are recorded within ownership changes in equity.

On January 1, 2023, the partnership acquired a 23% LP interest in the foreign investments owned by BSREP IV from the Corporation (“Acquisition of Foreign Investments”) for consideration of $588 million through the issuance of a non-interest bearing note. In February 2023, there was a $530 million capital call in respect to BSREP IV US and foreign investments. The partnership repaid the non-interest bearing note and funded the capital call through the issuance of LP Units, Special LP Units and REUs to the Corporation. After the transaction, the LP interest in BSREP IV US and foreign investments previously held by the Corporation are held solely by the partnership.

NOTE 29. SEGMENT INFORMATION
a)Operating segments
IFRS 8, Operating Segments, requires operating segments to be determined based on internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of allocating resources to the segment and to assessing its performance. The partnership’s operating segments are organized into four reportable segments: i) Core Office, ii) Core Retail, iii) LP Investments and iv) Corporate. This is consistent with how the partnership presents financial information to the CODM. These segments are independently and regularly reviewed and managed by the Chief Executive Officer, who is considered the CODM.

b)Basis of measurement
The CODM measures and evaluates the performance of the partnership’s operating segments based on funds from operations (“FFO”).

The partnership defines FFO as net income, prior to fair value gains, net, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and income taxes less non-controlling interests of others in operating subsidiaries and properties share of these items. When determining FFO, the partnership also includes its proportionate share of the FFO of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and associates.
