-
Our renewable power and transition business, along with a consortium of investors, committed to acquire Origin Energy at an enterprise value of over
$12 billion in a public to private transaction. The transaction enables us to deploy our full-lifecycle renewable development capabilities to decarbonize and transition a large energy market inAustralia , in-line with the Brookfield Global Transition Fund’s mandate of generating attractive current yields while accelerating the global transition to net zero. -
Our infrastructure business signed an agreement to acquire Data4, a premier hyperscale data center platform in

Data4 has a backlog of contracted growth over the next five years, an existing revenue base that is 80% contracted with investment-grade hyperscalers, and enables us to expand our global data center footprint. With existing greenfield development platforms inNorth and South America ,Australia ,New Zealand ,India andKorea , this expansion toEurope supports our long-term strategy to invest in the digitalization of the global economy. -
Our infrastructure business signed an agreement to acquire Triton International, the world’s largest owner and lessor of intermodal containers, for a total enterprise value of over
$13 billion in a public to private transaction which requires an equity commitment of approximately$4.7 billion . Approximately 90% of Triton’s fleet is under long-term contract, which will enable us to generate an attractive risk-adjusted return, while offering a platform for growth.

Non-GAAP and Performance Measures
This news release and accompanying financial information are based on generally accepted accounting principles in
We make reference to Distributable Earnings (“DE”), which is referring to the sum of its fee-related earnings, realized carried interest, realized principal investments, interest expense, and general and administrative expenses; excluding equity-based compensation costs and depreciation and amortization. The most directly comparable measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of our asset management business for distributable earnings is net income. This provides insight into earnings received by the company that are available for distribution to common shareholders or to be reinvested into the business.
We use FRE and DE to assess our operating results and the value of Brookfield’s business and believe that many shareholders and analysts also find these measures of value to them.
We disclose a number of financial measures in this news release that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with US GAAP. These financial measures, which include FRE and DE, should not be considered as the sole measure of our performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, similar financial measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP. We caution readers that these non-GAAP financial measures or other financial metrics are not standardized under US GAAP and may differ from the financial measures or other financial metrics disclosed by other businesses and, as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and entities.
We provide additional information on key terms and non-GAAP measures in our filings available at bam.brookfield.com.
