Partners Value Investments Inc. Announces Q3 2022 Interim Results
TORONTO, Nov. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Partners Value Investments Inc. (the "Company", TSX: PVF.WT) announced today its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2022. All amounts are stated in US dollars.
The Company generated net income of $343.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to a net loss of $269.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in net income was primarily due to remeasurement gains of $214.3 million during the quarter relating to the Company's retractable common shares, compared to remeasurement losses of $239.2 million in the prior year quarter. The Company's retractable common shares are classified as liabilities due to their exchangeable feature equivalent to a Partners Value Investments L.P (the "Partnership") unit, therefore the remeasurement gains or losses in a given period are driven by the respective depreciation or appreciation of the Partnership unit price. During the quarter, the Partnership unit price decreased by $3.59 compared to an increase of $3.25 in the prior year quarter. The Partnership unit value is primarily driven by the share price of Brookfield, which experienced a decrease in the period along with the broader market.
Excluding retractable share and warrant liability remeasurement gains, Adjusted Earnings for the Company was $78.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $22.7 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Earnings is higher in the current year period due to foreign currency gains and tax recoveries as a result of the depreciation of the Canadian dollar, partially offset by higher financing costs and investment valuation losses. Financing costs are higher in the current period as a result of senior unsecured notes issued since the prior year period and dividends declared and paid on the Company's retractable shares, which are recorded as a financing cost in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The market price of a Brookfield share was $40.89 as at September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 ? $60.38). The market price of a Brookfield share was $44.07 on November 21, 2022.
