OUR OPERATIONS
We invest in renewable power and sustainable solutions assets directly, as well as with institutional partners, joint venture partners and through other arrangements. Across our business, we leverage our extensive operating experience to maintain and enhance the value of assets, grow cash flows on an annual basis and cultivate positive relations with local stakeholders. Our portfolio includes assets for which we have access to a priority growth pipeline that if funded would provide us the opportunity to own a near-majority share of the business.
Our global diversified portfolio of renewable power assets, which makes up over 97% of our business, has approximately 33,200 MW of operating capacity and annualized LTA generation of approximately 94,200 GWh and a development pipeline of approximately 200,100 MW.

The business performed well this quarter, building on our strong start to the year. We were successful in deploying significant capital into growth, progressing project development and advancing asset recycling initiatives.
Significant growth in corporate demand for clean power on a global basis continues to support the fundamentals for our business and we are now better positioned than ever to benefit. Our portfolio is capturing incrementally higher all-in pricing and we are commissioning projects at an increasing pace.
Data center investment continues to accelerate globally and it is widely estimated that data centers could reach up to 10% and 20% of electricity consumption globally and in the U.S., respectively, by the end of the decade. This is on top of the electrification of industrial capacity, heating for houses and other uses that is driving unprecedented demand for electricity. To put this in perspective, the global installed capacity for electricity is expected to more than double over the next 20 years, while also trying to replace half of the existing capacity that will be retired as it is very carbon intensive. A truly unprecedented undertaking.
In this environment, we are continuing to differentiate ourselves with our large operating fleet and expansive development pipeline, which now stands at over 230,000 megawatts, of which approximately 65,000 megawatts has advanced stage land, interconnection and permitting status in core renewable markets. This large, advanced pipeline and our credibility in delivering projects is enhancing our position as the partner of choice for the largest buyers of clean power. To put it simply, nobody is better placed to provide clean power on a global basis to fuel this AI revolution.
We were also able to execute several acquisitions of leading renewable development platforms during the quarter, expanding our business into high-value geographies that are new to us, but where Brookfield more broadly is a prominent investor. Looking forward, our pipeline of opportunities to deploy capital on an accretive basis remains very strong.
At the same time, we continue to see strong demand for high-quality, de-risked, operating renewable power assets and expect to sell a number of assets this year, generating approximately $3 billion of proceeds ($1.3 billion net to Brookfield Renewable) at attractive returns. Capitalizing on this dynamic, and based on our ongoing sales processes, we expect it to be our largest year for capital recycling to date.
Highlights for the quarter include:
•Generated FFO of $339 million, up 9% from the prior year, or $0.51 per unit. We continue to expect to generate 10%+ FFO per unit growth for the year.
•Deployed, or committed to deploy $8.6 billion of capital ($970 million net to Brookfield Renewable) across multiple investments globally, further diversifying our business and adding leading platforms in attractive regions.
•Advanced commercial priorities securing contracts to deliver an incremental 2,700-gigawatt hours per year of generation, of which ~90% of development was contracted with corporate customers, building on the success of our recently announced partnership with Microsoft to deliver over 10,500 megawatts of renewable capacity between 2026 and 2030.
•Commissioned ~1,400 megawatts of new renewable energy capacity in the quarter and continue to expect to bring on ~7,000 megawatts this year.

•Strong balance sheet with $4.4 billion of available liquidity and progressing asset recycling initiatives that we expect to generate significant proceeds to deploy into our pipeline of growth opportunities.
Growing where the demand is
During the quarter, we successfully invested in businesses with established operating portfolios and development pipelines in attractive markets, where demand for clean power is growing. Further, our growth activities this quarter enabled us to expand into some new high value renewables markets, where broader Brookfield has been a prominent and successful investor for years.
We signed an agreement to acquire ~53% of the outstanding shares of publicly-listed Neoen. Neoen is a leading global renewable platform with best-in class management and market leading positions in each of France, Australia and the Nordics. The company has 8,000 megawatts of highly contracted operating or under construction assets, and a 20,000-megawatt advanced stage pipeline with completed technical studies, and land and interconnection already secured.
Neoen’s three core markets represent some of the fastest growing markets for renewables, with strong corporate demand and high barriers to entry. The addition of Neoen to our portfolio immediately makes us a top player in each of these very attractive markets, where we can supplement Neoen’s local capabilities with our commercial, procurement and operating expertise. With our combined capabilities and access to capital, we intend to support the company, with a view to increasing Neoen’s development activities, as we serve the growing needs of the largest corporate customers globally.
We were able to offer a compelling solution to the existing owners of Neoen, leveraging our access to capital, capabilities, and geographic reach to acquire a large, high-quality global platform, that complements our existing footprint. Perhaps most importantly, our ability to partner with large-scale institutional capital allowed us to provide a complete solution that few could match. While the transaction size is large, this is a textbook example of the type of deal that leverages the core competencies of our business.
After regulatory approvals, which are expected in the fourth quarter of this year, we will launch a tender offer for the remaining shares. Our offer to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Neoen is for $6.7 billion ($540 million net to Brookfield Renewable).
We acquired Leap Green, a leading wind focused commercial and industrial renewable business in India with ~500 megawatts of operating capacity and an almost 3,000-megawatt development pipeline for ~$200 million (~$40 million net by Brookfield Renewable).
We began investing in the Indian market in 2017 with an initial investment in 300 megawatts of operating capacity, establishing a platform in the country to use for expansion. At the time of our initial investment, the broader Brookfield business had been investing in India very successfully for years and we were able to build on the relationships, knowledge and local infrastructure that Brookfield had established. This approach has served us very well and we now operate one of the largest renewable energy businesses in the country, with over 3,000 megawatts of operating assets and a ~20,000-megawatt development pipeline. Further, the platform has matured to the extent that we have line of sight to monetizing some of our first investments in the country at attractive returns and recycling that capital back into new and accretive opportunities.
We are employing a similar approach in South Korea, a very attractive market for renewables with strong policy objectives and corporate demand for clean power that is outpacing supply. We entered the market by acquiring the operating and development platform of Hanmaeum Energy, a full-service platform with 340 megawatts of operating and near construction distributed generation capacity and over 4,000 megawatts of development projects and identified acquisition opportunities for up to ~$500 million of upfront and follow-on growth capital (~$100 million net to Brookfield Renewable).

South Korea is home to many high-quality power-intensive corporates with decarbonization objectives and has government mandated renewable portfolio requirements for energy companies, creating a strong market for renewable energy credits and capital recycling. And while this market is new for our renewables business, the broader Brookfield has been a long-time successful investor in the country.
Delivering competitive energy solutions
Over the past two decades, solar and wind have gone from a negligible source of global electricity production to over thirteen percent of total supply and have also become the most cost competitive sources of power globally. New build solar and wind now cost less than running existing fossil fuel plants in most markets.
We are seeing a similar scenario play out with batteries, where costs have declined 85% in the past decade and 60% in the past six years. Batteries are benefiting from economies of scale with the growth of the electric vehicle market, from incremental demand for capacity and grid stabilizing services, and by enabling increased penetration of low-cost renewables by providing a power solution for customers when the sun is not shining, or the wind is not blowing. As a result, the cost curve for batteries is now declining at a steeper pace than traditional renewables.
With lower capital costs, higher potential revenues and increasing demand for this type of solution from customers, we are focused on deploying capital into battery energy storage solutions in select markets. This quarter, we were awarded twenty-year capacity contracts for 400 megawatts of battery storage from the grid operator in Ontario through a joint venture with our First Nations partner. The projects have attractive risk-adjusted return profiles given the long-dated fixed revenue stream and high-quality offtaker. It should also be noted that Neoen (soon to be us) participated in the same Ontario auction, winning an equal amount of these attractive contracts.
We also began construction on 220 megawatts of battery storage capacity in Texas, targeting commissioning in the second half of 2025 and strong returns. With these development projects and the closing of our Neoen acquisition, we will be one of the largest battery developers globally with 2,300 megawatts of operating and under construction capacity.
Including our pumped storage assets, which are benefitting from the same demand drivers as batteries, we will have 5,000 megawatts of operating and under construction storage capacity. Alongside our hydro assets which have significant reservoir capacity, these assets are increasingly critical to enabling the deployment of low-cost 24-7 renewable power solutions that meet customers’ needs and represent a significant competitive advantage for our business.
And our existing portfolio is performing well
We generated FFO of $339 million this quarter, up 9% from the prior year, or $0.51 per unit, benefiting from asset development, recent acquisitions, and strong all-in pricing. We continue to diversify our business and enhance the durability of our cash flows and expect to achieve our 10%+ FFO per unit growth target for the year.
Our hydroelectric segment delivered FFO of $136 million, benefiting from strong all-in pricing, particularly in North America, and solid generation in Brazil.
Our wind and solar segments generated a combined $194 million of FFO, driven by recent additions in North America, Europe and India. The segment benefited from organic growth and M&A with an additional 7,200 megawatts of net operating capacity compared to the prior year.
Our distributed energy, storage, and sustainable solutions segments generated a combined $86 million of FFO in the quarter as we continue to grow this segment through M&A and organic development. Westinghouse, our nuclear services business, continues to perform well, and the outlook is getting stronger. We are seeing long-term upside in the business expectations from when we acquired the
| | | | | | | | |
Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | June 30, 2024 |
| | Page 7 |
business, driven primarily by an improved outlook for the nuclear fuel business and new plant deployment, as the only baseload carbon-free power at scale that exists with current proven technologies. As new nuclear generation is increasingly viewed as part of the solution to growing electricity demands, both for corporate customers, including technology players, and centralized utilities, we are exceedingly well-positioned to benefit, given Westinghouse’s global leadership position and leading technology offering.
We continued to grow and advance our development pipeline which now stands at 200,000 megawatts with 65,000 megawatts at the advanced stage. We expect to commission approximately 7,000 megawatts of new capacity this year, which when completed will add approximately $90 million of annual incremental FFO. We are scaling up our development activities and expect to grow our annual commissioning capacity to approximately 10,000 megawatts per annum over the next several years.
Balance sheet & liquidity
Our balance sheet is very strong and we have $4.4 billion of available liquidity providing us the flexibility to deploy scale capital in the current environment where we are seeing a significant volume of opportunities to invest at attractive risk adjusted returns.
During the quarter we took advantage of tightening spreads by executing $1.7 billion of project level financings. We continue to execute on opportunities to refinance project level debt extending maturities in what is a constructive market for investment grade financings.
In July, we opportunistically issued C$300 million of 10-year notes and C$100 million of 30-year notes at interest rates of approximately 4.9% and 5.4%, respectively. The issuances extended our average corporate debt maturity profile beyond 12 years at an attractive cost of capital.
We continue to see opportunities to monetize de-risked operating assets at attractive returns. In the quarter, we executed on asset sales generating over $400 million in proceeds (~$250 million net to Brookfield Renewable) and two times our invested capital.
We are well positioned to continue to rotate capital in this market, with both a large pipeline of development projects that we are de-risking and bringing into operation, as well as an expansive global portfolio of operating assets which we have acquired, de-risked, or developed over the years.
We have been advancing several additional sales processes at very attractive returns and expect to generate approximately $3 billion ($1.3 billion net to Brookfield Renewable) in proceeds this year from recycling, our highest year ever.
Outlook
The outlook for clean power and our business continues to improve, driven by corporate and industrial demand and broad stakeholder support. We are a customer focused business looking to provide solutions to our partners, whether through large, multi-year agreements like our renewable energy framework agreement with Microsoft or on a more targeted project-by-project basis. We will continue to employ this approach and go to where the demand growth is, while maintaining a high degree of discipline.
On behalf of the Board and management, we thank all our unitholders and shareholders for their ongoing support and look forward to updating you on our progress throughout the rest of the year.
Sincerely,

OUR COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS
Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (together with its controlled entities, “Brookfield Renewable”) is a globally diversified, multi-technology, owner and operator of clean energy and sustainable solutions assets.
Our business model is to utilize our global reach and experience to acquire and develop high quality clean energy and sustainable solutions assets below intrinsic value, finance them on a long-term, low-risk and investment grade basis through a conservative financing strategy and then optimize cash flows by applying our operating expertise to enhance value or bring these assets into production generating incremental cash flows for our business.
One of the largest, public decarbonization businesses globally. Brookfield Renewable has a 23-year track record as a publicly traded operator and investor in renewable power and sustainable solution assets. Today we have a large, multi-technology and globally diversified portfolio that is supported by approximately 4,770 experienced employees (inclusive of employees employed by our consolidated portfolio companies). Brookfield Renewable invests in assets directly, as well as with institutional partners, joint venture partners and through other arrangements. We have also made investments in our sustainable solutions portfolio comprised of assets and businesses that enable the transition to net-zero where we can leverage our access to capital and partnerships to accelerate growth, and emerging transition asset classes where our initial investment positions us for potential future large scale decarbonization investment. Our sustainable solutions portfolio also includes investments in power transformation opportunities where we have invested in businesses to enable the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the deployment of traditional renewables.
Our globally diverse portfolio helps to mitigate resource variability, and improves consistency of our cash flows. Our organic growth and acquisitions are typically done through Brookfield's private funds and therefore on a proportionate basis Brookfield Renewable's business will continue to diversify but remain heavily weighted to our premium hydroelectric assets.
Our renewable power portfolio consists of hydroelectric, wind, utility-scale solar, distributed generation and storage facilities in North America, South America, Europe and Asia, and totals approximately 33,200 megawatts of installed capacity and a development pipeline of approximately 200,100 megawatts. Our portfolio of sustainable solutions assets includes our investments in Westinghouse (a leading global nuclear services business), as well as investments in an operating portfolio of 57 thousand metric tonnes per annum of CCS capacity, 3 million MMBtu of annual agricultural RNG production capacity and over 1 million tons of recycled materials annually. Our sustainable solutions development pipeline includes opportunities to invest in additional projects with 20 million metric tonnes per annum (“MMTPA”) of CCS, 1.2 million tons of recycled materials, roughly 8.1 million MMBtu of RNG production capacity, a solar manufacturing facility capable of producing 3,000 MW panels annually.

Helping to accelerate the decarbonization and stability of the electricity grids. Climate change and energy security are viewed as two of the most significant and urgent issues facing the global economy, posing immense risks to the safety and security of communities and to our collective and economic prosperity. In response, governments and businesses have adopted ambitious plans to support a transition to a decarbonized economy. We believe that our scale and global operating, development and investing capabilities make us well positioned to partner with governments and businesses to help them achieve their decarbonization goals.
Strong financial profile and conservative financing strategy. Brookfield Renewable maintains a robust balance sheet, strong investment grade rating, and access to global capital markets to ensure cash flow resiliency through the cycle. Our approach to financing is to raise the majority of our debt in the form of asset-specific, non-recourse borrowings at our subsidiaries on an investment grade basis with no financial maintenance covenants. Approximately 90% of our debt is either investment grade rated or sized to investment grade metrics. Our corporate debt to total capitalization is approximately 14%, and approximately 90% of our borrowings are non-recourse. Corporate borrowings and proportionate non-recourse borrowings each have weighted-average terms of approximately 12 years and 11 years, respectively, with no material maturities over the next five years. Approximately 90% of our financings are effectively fixed rate and only 7% of our debt outside North America and Europe is exposed to changes in interest rates. After issuing our July medium term notes, our available liquidity was $4.4 billion of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities and the available portion of credit facilities.
Best-in class operators and developers. Brookfield Renewable has approximately 4,770 experienced operators (inclusive of employees employed by our consolidated portfolio companies) and approximately 120 power marketing experts that are located across the globe to help optimize the performance and maximize the returns of all our assets. Our experience operating, developing, and managing power generation facilities span over 120 years. We continue to accelerate our development activities as we build out our approximately 200,100 MW renewable power pipeline, and further enhance our decarbonization offering to our customers through the build out of our sustainable solutions assets, which includes opportunities to invest in additional projects with 20 MMTPA of CCS, 1.2 million tonnes of recycled materials, roughly 8.1 million MMBtu of annual RNG production capacity, and 3,000 MW of annual solar panel manufacturing capacity. Increasingly, the combination of our operating and developing capabilities combined with our growth pipeline is differentiating our business as the partner of choice for buyers of clean power and entities looking to decarbonize, driving the growth of our business.

Diverse and high-quality portfolio of renewable power and sustainable solutions assets. Brookfield Renewable has a complementary portfolio of hydroelectric, wind, utility-scale solar, and other sustainable solutions assets, including distributed generation solar and storage:
•Hydroelectric Power. Today, hydroelectric power is the largest segment in our portfolio and continues to be a premium technology as one of the longest life, lowest-cost and cleanest most environmentally-preferred forms of power generation. Hydroelectric plants have high cash margins, storage capacity with the ability to dispatch power at all hours of the day.
•Wind & Solar Power. Our wind, utility-scale solar, and distributed generation facilities provide exposure to two of the fastest growing renewable power sectors, with high cash margins, zero fuel input cost, and diverse and scalable applications including distributed generation. Wind and solar are now among the lowest cost forms of power generation available globally.
•Energy Storage & Sustainability Solutions. Our energy storage facilities provide the markets in which they are located with critical services to the grid and dispatchable generation. Our other sustainable solutions assets, such as carbon capture and our nuclear service business, are helping businesses and countries achieve their net-zero goals and meet their energy needs.
With our scale, diversity and the quality of our assets, we are competitively positioned relative to other renewable power and transition companies. Our large pipeline and differentiated capabilities provide significant scarcity value and growth potential for our investors.
Well positioned for cash flow growth and an attractive long term distribution profile. We are focused on delivering resilient, stable distributions with meaningful growth of 5% to 9% annually through all market cycles from existing operations and new investments. We are fully funded by internally generated cash flows, with inflation escalations in the vast majority of our contracts, potential margin expansion through revenue growth and cost reduction initiatives, and the building out our development pipeline at premium returns. We also supplement this organic growth through acquisitions, leveraging Brookfield’s team of over 100 investment professionals globally who are dedicated to sourcing and underwriting accretive acquisitions on an opportunistic basis.
Disciplined and contrarian investment strategy. Our global scale and multi-technology capabilities allow us to rotate capital where it is scarce in order to earn strong risk-adjusted returns. We take a disciplined approach to allocating capital into development and acquisitions with a focus on downside protection and preservation of capital. Our ability to develop and acquire assets is strengthened by our operating and project development teams across the globe, strategic relationship with Brookfield, and our liquidity and capitalization profile.
Conservative approach to asset development and asset management. We employ a conservative approach with respect to asset development and management whereby we look to remove what we call “basis risk” before committing significant capital. To do this, we look to secure financing, customer agreements and engineering, procurement and construction contracts concurrently so we have strong visibility on cash flows and can lock-in our target returns. Where possible, we look to secure fixed rate financing, inflation indexed customer agreements and full wrap construction contracts to minimize uncertainty.

Operations
Funds From Operations of $339 million or $0.51 on a per Unit basis is higher than the prior year driven by:
•Contributions from growth, both from acquisitions and roughly 4,700 MW of new development projects reaching commercial operation in the past 12 months;
•Strong all-in pricing across most of our fleet; and
•High asset availability across our portfolio
After deducting non-cash depreciation, foreign exchange and derivative gains or losses and other, net loss attributable to Unitholders for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $154 million.
We continued to focus on being the partner of choice to procure power
•Advanced commercial priorities, including securing contracts to deliver an incremental 2,700 gigawatt hours per year of generation, of which ~90% of development was contracted with corporate customers, building on the success of our recently announced partnership with Microsoft to deliver over 10.5 GW of renewable capacity between 2026 and 2030
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our best-in-class balance sheet with investment grade BBB+ credit rating and access to diverse sources of capital continue to differentiate our business and enable us to opportunistically invest when capital becomes scarce
•Our balance sheet is very strong and we have $4.4 billion of available liquidity providing us the flexibility to deploy scale capital in the current environment where we are seeing a significant volume of opportunities to invest at attractive risk adjusted returns
•During the quarter we took advantage of tightening spreads by executing $1.7 billion of project level financings. We continue to execute on opportunities to refinance project level debt extending maturities in what is a constructive market for investment grade financings
•In July, we opportunistically issued C$300 million of 10-year notes and C$100 million of 30-year notes at 4.9% and 5.4% respectively. The issuances extended our average corporate debt maturity beyond 12 years at an attractive cost of capital
•We have executed or signed asset sales generating over $400 million ($250 million net to Brookfield Renewable) and two times our invested capital. We continue to see strong demand for high-quality, de-risked, operating renewable power assets and expect to sell a number of assets this year generating approximately $3 billion of proceeds ($1.3 billion net to Brookfield Renewable) at attractive returns.
Growth and Development
Together with our institutional partners, we have deployed or committed to deploy $8.6 billion of capital (approximately $970 million net to Brookfield Renewable) across multiple investments globally, further diversifying our business and adding leading platforms in attractive regions, including:
•Agreed to acquire a 53% controlling stake in Neoen, a global renewable platform with market leading positions in each of France, Australia and the Nordics. Neoen has 8 GW of operating and in construction renewable power and energy storage assets, and a 20 GW advanced stage pipeline. After regulatory approvals, which are expected in the fourth quarter of this year, we will launch a tender offer for the remaining shares. Our offer to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Neoen is for $6.7 billion (up to $540 million net to Brookfield Renewable).
•We acquired a 74% interest in Leap Green, a leading wind focused commercial and industrial renewable business in India, with ~500 MW of operating capacity and an almost 3 GW development pipeline for initial consideration of $89 million (expected $18 million net to Brookfield Renewable) with the opportunity to invest an incremental $121 million with a path to achieving a 98% interest (expected $24 million net to Brookfield Renewable).
•We acquired the operating and development platform of Hanmaeum Energy, a South Korean solar-focused renewables platform with 340 MW of operating and near construction distributed generation capacity and a 2.2 GW pipeline for upfront payments of $30 million (expected $6 million net to Brookfield Renewable) with the potential to deploy up to $468 million of incremental capital (expected $96 million net to Brookfield Renewable).
•Agreed to acquire a 75% interest in a leading renewables development platform in Australia with over 2 GW of wind and co-located battery development projects for $162 million ($32 million net to Brookfield Renewable) with the opportunity to invest an incremental $408 million ($82 million net to Brookfield Renewable).
| | | | | | | | |
Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | June 30, 2024 |
| | Page 15 |
We continue to accelerate our development activities
•We continued to grow and advance our development pipeline which now stands at over 200 GW with 65 GW at the advanced stage. We expect to commission approximately 7 GW of new capacity this year, which will add approximately $90 million of annual incremental FFO.
With lower capital costs, higher potential revenues and increasing demand we are deploying capital into battery storage solutions and were awarded twenty-year capacity contracts for 400 MW of battery storage from the grid operator in Ontario through a joint venture. With our development projects and the closing of our Neoen acquisition, we will be one of the largest battery developers with 2,300 MW of operating and under construction capacity.

Variance Analysis For The Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Revenues totaling $1,482 million represents an increase of $277 million over the same period in the prior year due to the growth of our business, inflation escalation on contracted generation and high asset availability. Recently acquired and commissioned facilities contributed 3,957 GWh of generation and $221 million to revenues, which was partly offset by our recently completed asset sales that reduced generation by 76 GWh and revenues by $7 million. On a same store, constant currency basis, revenue increased by $37 million as the benefits from inflation escalation on our contracted generation in Canada, Brazil and Colombia and higher resources across our wind and U.S. hydro assets were partially offset by lower resources at our Canadian hydro portfolio and Colombian hydro assets, which experienced drier El Niño conditions.
The strengthening of the Colombian peso relative to the U.S. dollar compared to the same period in the prior year was partially offset by the relative weakening of the Canadian dollar, Euro and Brazilian real, increasing revenues by $26 million, which was offset by a $27 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact on our direct operating costs and interest expense for the quarter.
Direct operating costs totaling $618 million represents an increase of $193 million over the same period in the prior year primarily due to additional costs from our recently acquired and commissioned facilities including the growth of our business, higher power purchases in Colombia, which are passed through to consumers and the above noted foreign exchange fluctuations, which were partially offset by our recently completed asset sales.
Management service costs totaling $53 million represents a decrease of $2 million over the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense totaling $489 million represents an increase of $87 million over the same period in the prior year due to recent acquisitions, financing initiatives to fund development activities and the above noted foreign exchange fluctuations.
Depreciation expense totaling $517 million represents an increase of $59 million over the same period in the prior year due to the growth of our business.
Net loss totaling $88 million represents a decrease of $239 million over the prior year primarily due to the above noted items.

Variance Analysis For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Revenues totaling $2,974 million represents an increase of $438 million over the same period in the prior year due to the growth of our business, inflation escalation on contracted generation and high asset availability. Recently acquired and commissioned facilities contributed 8,039 GWh of generation and $452 million to revenue, which was partly offset by recently completed asset sales that reduced generation by 664 GWh and revenue by $49 million. On a same store, constant currency basis, revenues decreased by $58 million as the benefits from inflation escalation on our contracted generation in Canada, Brazil and Colombia and higher resources at our U.S. hydro assets were offset by lower resources at our Canadian hydro portfolio and our Colombia hydro portfolio that benefited from above LTA conditions in the prior year.
The strengthening of the Colombian peso and Euro relative to the U.S. dollar compared to the same period in the prior year was partially offset by the relative weakening of the Brazilian real and Canadian dollar, increasing revenues by $93 million, which was partly offset by a $76 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact on our operating and interest expense for the year.
Direct operating costs totaling $1,252 million represents an increase of $426 million over the same period in the prior year primarily due to additional costs from our recently acquired and commissioned facilities and higher power purchases in Colombia, which are passed through to our customers and the above noted foreign exchange fluctuations partly offset by our recently completed asset sales.
Management service costs totaling $98 million represents a decrease of $14 million over the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense totaling $965 million represents an increase of $169 million over the same period in the prior year due to recent acquisitions, financing initiatives to fund development activities and the above noted foreign exchange fluctuations.
Depreciation expense totaling $1,019 million represents an increase of $132 million over the same period in the prior year due to the growth of our business and the strengthening of the Colombian peso relative to the U.S. dollar.
Net loss totaling $158 million represents a decrease of $486 million over the prior year due to the above noted items.

(2)Non-IFRS measures. For reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measure see “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
North America
Funds From Operations at our North American business was $97 million versus $114 million in the prior year as the benefit from inflation indexation on our contracted generation was offset by lower generation and lower average revenue per MWh due primarily to generation mix (resource was lowest in high value markets) and the weakening of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar.
Brazil
Funds From Operations at our Brazilian business was $30 million versus $36 million in the prior year as the benefit of LTA generation and inflation indexation of our contracted generation was offset by weaker pricing realized on our uncontracted generation and the weakening of the Brazilian real versus the U.S. dollar.
Colombia
Funds From Operations at our Colombian business was $9 million versus $21 million in the prior year as the benefits from higher average revenue per MWh due to inflation indexation on contracted generation and higher pricing realized on our uncontracted generation was offset by below LTA generation due to drier El Niño conditions.

CONTRACT PROFILE
We operate our power business on a largely contracted basis to provide a high degree of predictability in Funds From Operations. We maintain a long-term view that electricity prices and the demand for electricity will rise due to electrification of the global economy including segments like industrial and transportation as well as from increasing digitalization. We also expect demand for clean power to grow as renewables are the cheapest form of bulk electricity generation, on the increasing level of acceptance around climate change and the legislated requirements in some areas to diversify away from fossil fuel based generation.
In Brazil and Colombia, we also expect power prices will continue to be supported by the need to build new supply over the medium-to-long term to serve growing demand. In these markets, contracting for power is the only current mechanism to buy and sell power, and therefore we would expect to capture rising prices as we re-contract our power over the medium-term.
The following table sets out our power contracts over the next five years for generation output in North America, Brazil, Europe and certain other countries, assuming long-term average on a proportionate basis. The table excludes Brazil and Colombia hydroelectric portfolios, where we would expect the energy associated with maturing contracts to be re-contracted in the normal course given the construct of the respective power markets. In these countries we currently have a contracted profile of approximately 90% and 80%, respectively, of the long-term average and we would expect to maintain this going forward. Overall, our power portfolio has a weighted-average remaining contract duration of 13 years on a proportionate basis.

Weighted-average remaining contract durations on a proportionate basis are 14 years in North America, 14 years in Europe, 10 years in Brazil, 4 years in Colombia, and 15 years across our remaining jurisdictions.
In North America, over the next five years, a number of contracts will expire at our hydroelectric facilities. Based on current market prices for energy and ancillary products, we expect a net positive impact to cash flows.
In our Colombian portfolio, we continue to focus on securing long-term contracts while maintaining a certain percentage of uncontracted generation to mitigate hydrology risk.
The majority of Brookfield Renewable’s long-term power purchase agreements within our North American and European businesses are with investment-grade rated or creditworthy counterparties. The economic exposure of our contracted generation on a proportionate basis is distributed as follows: power authorities (35%), distribution companies (23%), commercial & industrial users (31%) and Brookfield (11%).

PART 5 – LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CAPITALIZATION
A key element of our financing strategy is to raise the majority of our debt in the form of asset-specific, non-recourse borrowings at our subsidiaries on an investment-grade basis with no maintenance covenants. Substantially all of our debt is either investment grade rated or sized to investment grade and approximately 90% of debt is non-recourse.

We operate with sufficient liquidity to enable us to fund growth initiatives, capital expenditures, distributions and withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances or short-term fluctuations in generation. We maintain a strong, investment grade balance sheet characterized by a conservative capital structure, access to multiple funding levers including a focus on capital recycling on an opportunistic basis, and diverse sources of capital. Principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, our credit facilities, up-financings on non-recourse borrowings and proceeds from the issuance of various securities through public markets.

We remain focused on refinancing near-term facilities on acceptable terms and maintaining a manageable maturity ladder. We do not anticipate material issues in refinancing our borrowings through 2028 on acceptable terms and will do so opportunistically based on the prevailing interest rate environment.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
We fund growth capital expenditures with cash flow generated from operations, supplemented by non-recourse debt sized to investment grade coverage and covenant thresholds. This is designed to ensure that our investments have stable capital structures supported by a substantial level of equity and that cash flows at the asset level can be remitted freely to our company. This strategy also underpins our investment grade profile.
To fund large scale development projects and acquisitions, we will evaluate a variety of capital sources including proceeds from selling mature businesses, in addition to raising money in the capital markets through equity, debt and preferred share issuances. Furthermore, we have $2.45 billion committed revolving credit facilities available for investments and acquisitions, as well as funding the equity component of organic growth initiatives. The facilities are intended, and have historically been used, as a bridge to a long-term financing strategy rather than a permanent source of capital.

PART 7 – CRITICAL ESTIMATES, ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, which require the use of estimates and judgments in reporting assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies. In the judgment of management, none of the estimates outlined in Note 1 – Basis of preparation and material accounting policy information in our audited consolidated financial statements are considered critical accounting estimates as defined in Canadian National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations with the exception of the estimates related to the valuation of property, plant and equipment, financial instruments, deferred income tax liabilities, decommissioning liabilities and impairment of goodwill. These assumptions include estimates of future electricity prices, discount rates, expected long-term average generation, inflation rates, terminal year, the amount and timing of operating and capital costs and the income tax rates of future income tax provisions. Estimates also include determination of accruals, provisions, purchase price allocations, useful lives, asset valuations, asset impairment testing and those relevant to the defined benefit pension and non-pension benefit plans. Estimates are based on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In making estimates, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplemented by internal analysis, as required. These estimates have been applied in a manner consistent with that in the prior year and there are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that we believe will materially affect the methodology or assumptions utilized in this report. These estimates are impacted by, among other things, future power prices, movements in interest rates, foreign exchange volatility and other factors, some of which are highly uncertain, as described in the “Risk Factors” section. The interrelated nature of these factors prevents us from quantifying the overall impact of these movements on Brookfield Renewable’s financial statements in a meaningful way. These sources of estimation uncertainty relate in varying degrees to substantially all asset and liability account balances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
International Tax Reform - Amendments to IAS 12- Pillar Two model rules
Brookfield Renewable operates in countries, including Canada, which have enacted new legislation to implement the global minimum top-up tax, effective from January 1, 2024. Brookfield Renewable will recognize the top-up tax as a current tax as and when it is incurred but has applied a temporary mandatory relief from recognizing and disclosing deferred taxes in connection with the global minimum top-up tax. There is no material current tax impact for the period ended June 30, 2024. The global minimum top-up tax is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the financial position of Brookfield Renewable.
Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”)
The amendments clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments to IAS 1 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Brookfield Renewable noted no material impact.
FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
In April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (IFRS 18). IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 is expected to improve the quality of financial reporting by requiring defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosure about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. Brookfield Renewable has not yet determined the impact of this standard on its disclosures.
There are currently no other future changes to IFRS with potential impact on Brookfield Renewable.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART 8 – PRESENTATION TO STAKEHOLDERS AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
PRESENTATION TO PUBLIC STAKEHOLDERS
Equity
Brookfield Renewable’s consolidated equity interests include (i) non-voting publicly traded LP units, held by public unitholders and Brookfield, (ii) BEPC exchangeable shares, held by public shareholders and Brookfield, (iii) Redeemable/Exchangeable Limited partnership units in BRELP, a holding subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, held by Brookfield, and (iv) the GP interest in BRELP, held by Brookfield.
The LP units, the BEPC exchangeable shares and the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units have the same economic attributes in all respects, except that the BEPC exchangeable shares provide the holder, and the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units provide Brookfield, the right to request that all or a portion of such shares or units be redeemed for cash consideration. Brookfield Renewable, however, has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy any such redemption request with LP units, rather than cash, on a one-for-one basis. The public holders of BEPC exchangeable shares, and Brookfield, as holder of BEPC exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, participates in earnings and distributions on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of the LP units. Because Brookfield Renewable, at its sole discretion, has the right to settle any redemption request in respect of BEPC exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units with LP units, the BEPC exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units are classified under equity, and not as a liability.
Given the exchange feature referenced above, we are presenting LP units, BEPC exchangeable shares, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, and GP Interest as separate components of consolidated equity. This presentation does not impact the total income (loss), per unit or share information, or total consolidated equity.
Actual and Long-term Average Generation
For assets acquired, disposed or reached commercial operation during the year, reported generation is calculated from the acquisition, disposition or commercial operation date and is not annualized. Generation on a same store basis refers to the generation of assets that were owned during both periods presented. As it relates to Colombia only, generation includes both hydroelectric and cogeneration facilities. Distributed energy & sustainable solutions includes generation from our distributed generation, pumped storage, North America cogeneration and Brazil biomass assets.
North America hydroelectric long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation based on historical inflow data performed over a period of typically 30 years. Colombia hydroelectric long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation based on historical inflow data performed over a period of typically 20 years. For substantially all of our hydroelectric assets in Brazil the long-term average is based on the reference amount of electricity allocated to our facilities under the market framework which levelizes generation risk across producers. Wind long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of simulated historical wind speed data performed over a period of typically 10 years. Utility-scale solar long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation using historical irradiance levels in the locations of our projects from the last 14 to 20 years combined with actual generation data during the operational period.
We compare actual generation levels against the long-term average to highlight the impact of an important factor that affects the variability of our business results. In the short-term, we recognize that hydrology, wind and irradiance conditions will vary from one period to the next; over time however, we expect our facilities will continue to produce in line with their long-term averages, which have proven to be reliable indicators of performance.
Our risk of a generation shortfall in Brazil continues to be minimized by participation in the MRE administered by the government of Brazil. This program mitigates hydrology risk by assuring that all participants receive, at any particular point in time, an assured energy amount, irrespective of the actual volume of energy generated. The program reallocates energy, transferring surplus energy from those who generated an excess to those who generate less than their assured energy, up to the total generation within the pool. Periodically, low precipitation across the entire country’s system could result in a temporary reduction of generation available for sale. During these periods, we expect that a higher proportion of thermal generation would be needed to balance supply and demand in the country, potentially leading to higher overall spot market prices.
| | | | | | | | |
Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | June 30, 2024 |
| | Page 48 |
Generation from our pumped storage and cogeneration facilities in North America is highly dependent on market price conditions rather than the generating capacity of the facilities. Our pumped storage facility in Europe generates on a dispatchable basis when required by our contracts for ancillary services. Generation from our biomass facilities in Brazil is dependent on the amount of sugar cane harvested in a given year. For these reasons, we do not consider a long-term average for these facilities.
Voting Agreements with Affiliates
Brookfield Renewable has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby Brookfield Renewable gained control or have significant influence over the entities that own certain renewable power and sustainable solution investments. Brookfield Renewable has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of the Colombian business. The voting agreements provide Brookfield Renewable the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide Brookfield Renewable with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewable consolidates the accounts of these entities.
For entities previously controlled by Brookfield Corporation, the voting agreements entered into do not represent business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3, as all combining businesses are ultimately controlled by Brookfield Corporation both before and after the transactions were completed. Brookfield Renewable accounts for these transactions involving entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interest, which requires the presentation of pre-voting agreement financial information as if the transactions had always been in place. Refer to Note 1(s)(ii) – Critical judgments in applying accounting policies – Common control transactions in our December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements for our policy on accounting for transactions under common control.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
Segment Information
Our operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) utility-scale solar, 4) distributed energy and storage (distributed generation and pumped storage), 5) sustainable solutions (agricultural renewable natural gas, carbon capture and storage, recycling, cogeneration, biomass, nuclear services, and power transformation), and 6) corporate – with hydroelectric further segmented by geography (i.e., North America, Colombia, and Brazil).This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews results of our company.
The reporting to the CODM was revised during the fourth quarter of 2023 to disaggregate the distributed energy & sustainable solutions business into distributed energy & storage and sustainable solutions. This change is consistent with the development of Brookfield Renewable’s business as distributed generation and sustainable solutions continue to grow as a more significant component of the business. The financial information of operating segments in the prior period has been restated to present the corresponding results of the distributed energy & storage and sustainable solutions.
We report our results in accordance with these segments and present prior period segmented information in a consistent manner. See Note 5 – Segmented information in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
One of our primary business objectives is to generate stable and growing cash flows while minimizing risk for the benefit of all stakeholders. We monitor our performance in this regard through three key metrics – i) Net Income (Loss), ii) Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and iii) Funds From Operations.
It is important to highlight that Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and have limitations as analytical tools. We provide additional information below on how we determine Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations. We also provide reconciliations to Net income (loss). See “Part 4 – Financial Performance Review on Proportionate Information – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” and “Part 6 – Selected Quarterly Information – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures”.
Proportionate Information
Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources has been provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a Unitholder perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating
| | | | | | | | |
Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | June 30, 2024 |
| | Page 49 |
decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results that can be allocated to Unitholders.
Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, depreciation, current and deferred income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items (1) include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earnings from equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, and (2) exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items.
The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
•The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and
•Other companies may calculate proportionate results differently than we do.
Because of these limitations, our proportionate financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under IFRS.
Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses do not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claims or exposures to such items.
Unless the context indicates or requires otherwise, information with respect to the megawatts ("MW") attributable to Brookfield Renewable’s facilities, including development assets, is presented on a consolidated basis, including with respect to facilities whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or jointly controls the applicable facility.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income (loss) is calculated in accordance with IFRS.
Net income (loss) is an important measure of profitability, in particular because it has a standardized meaning under IFRS. The presentation of net income (loss) on an IFRS basis for our business will often lead to the recognition of a loss even though the underlying cash flows generated by the assets are supported by strong margins and stable, long-term power purchase agreements. The primary reason for this is that accounting rules require us to recognize a significantly higher level of depreciation for our assets than we are required to reinvest in the business as sustaining capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze the operating performance of companies.
Brookfield Renewable uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of its operations before the effects of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, management service costs, non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash income or loss from equity-accounted investments, distributions to preferred shareholders, preferred limited partnership unit holders, perpetual subordinated noteholders and other typical non-recurring items, and including investment tax credits not allocated to tax equity partners. Brookfield Renewable adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by management for evaluating operating performance. Brookfield Renewable includes realized disposition gains and losses on assets that we developed and/or did not intend to hold over the long-term within Adjusted EBITDA in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in the current period.
Brookfield Renewable believes that presentation of this measure will enhance an investor’s ability to evaluate its financial and operating performance on an allocable basis.
| | | | | | | | |
Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | June 30, 2024 |
| | Page 50 |
Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze net earnings from operations without the effects of certain volatile items that generally have no current financial impact or items not directly related to the performance of Brookfield Renewable.
Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of Brookfield Renewable before the effects of certain cash items (e.g. acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g. deferred income taxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business and including investment tax credits not allocated to tax equity partners. Brookfield Renewable includes realized disposition gains and losses on assets that we developed and/or did not intend to hold over the long-term in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in the current period. In the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Brookfield Renewable, the revaluation approach is used in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, whereby depreciation is determined based on a revalued amount, thereby reducing comparability with peers who do not report under IFRS as issued by the IASB or who do not employ the revaluation approach to measuring property, plant and equipment. Management adds back deferred income taxes on the basis that they do not believe this item reflects the present value of the actual tax obligations that they expect Brookfield Renewable to incur over the long-term investment horizon of Brookfield Renewable.
Brookfield Renewable believes that analysis and presentation of Funds From Operations on this basis will enhance an investor’s understanding of the performance of Brookfield Renewable. Funds From Operations is not a substitute measure of performance for earnings per share and does not represent amounts available for distribution.
Funds From Operations is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Funds From Operations used by other entities, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALPAC”) and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). Furthermore, this measure is not used by the CODM to assess Brookfield Renewable’s liquidity.
Proportionate Debt
Proportionate debt is presented based on the proportionate share of borrowings obligations relating to the investments of Brookfield Renewable in various portfolio businesses. The proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Proportionate debt measures are provided because management believes it assists investors and analysts in estimating the overall performance and understanding the leverage pertaining specifically to Brookfield Renewable's share of its invested capital in a given investment. When used in conjunction with Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA, proportionate debt is expected to provide useful information as to how Brookfield Renewable has financed its businesses at the asset-level. Management believes that the proportionate presentation, when read in conjunction with Brookfield Renewable’s reported results under IFRS, including consolidated debt, provides a more meaningful assessment of how the operations of Brookfield Renewable are performing and capital is being managed. The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
•Proportionate debt amounts do not represent the consolidated obligation for debt underlying a consolidated investment. If an individual project does not generate sufficient cash flows to service the entire amount of its debt payments, management may determine, in their discretion, to pay the shortfall through an equity injection to avoid defaulting on the obligation. Such a shortfall may not be apparent from or may not equal the difference between aggregate Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA for all of the portfolio investments of Brookfield Renewable and aggregate proportionate debt for all of the portfolio investments of Brookfield Renewable; and
•Other companies may calculate proportionate debt differently.
Because of these limitations, the proportionate financial information of Brookfield Renewable should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial statements of Brookfield Renewable as reported under IFRS.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING USE OF NON-IFRS MEASURES
This report contains references to Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit which are not generally accepted accounting measures standardized under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit used by other entities. In particular, our definition of Funds From Operations may differ from the definition of funds from operations used by other organizations, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”), in part because the NAREIT definition is based on U.S. GAAP, as opposed to IFRS. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit are useful supplemental measures that may assist investors in assessing our financial performance. None of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations or Funds From Operations per Unit should be considered as the sole measure of our performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS measures reflect how we manage our business and, in our opinion, enable the reader to better understand our business.
Reconciliations of each of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit to net income (loss) are presented in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis. We have also provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations to net income in Note 5 – Segmented information in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), have been omitted or condensed. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Brookfield Renewable’s December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements. The interim consolidated statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements.
The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods in accordance with IFRS.
The results reported in these interim consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire year. The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.
These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of Brookfield Renewable’s general partner, BRPL, on August 2, 2024.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
References to $, C$, €, £, R$, COP, INR and CNY are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, British pound, Brazilian reais, Colombian pesos, Indian rupees and Chinese yuan, respectively.
All figures are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
(b) Basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of property, plant and equipment and certain assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value. Cost is recorded based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
(c) Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which Brookfield Renewable has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Non-controlling interests in the equity of Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries are shown separately in equity in the combined statements of financial position.
(d) Recently adopted accounting standards
International Tax Reform - Amendments to IAS 12- Pillar Two model rules
Brookfield Renewable operates in countries, including Canada, which have enacted new legislation to implement the global minimum top-up tax, effective from January 1, 2024. Brookfield Renewable will recognize the top-up tax as a current tax as and when it is incurred but has applied a temporary mandatory relief from recognizing and disclosing deferred taxes in connection with the global minimum top-up tax. There is no material current tax impact for the period ended June 30, 2024. The global minimum top-up tax is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the financial position of Brookfield Renewable.
Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”)
The amendments clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments to IAS 1 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Brookfield Renewable noted no material impact.

(e) Future changes in accounting policies
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
In April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (IFRS 18). IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 is expected to improve the quality of financial reporting by requiring defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosure about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. Brookfield Renewable has not yet determined the impact of this standard on its disclosures.
There are currently no other future changes to IFRS with potential impact on Brookfield Renewable.
2. DISPOSAL OF ASSETS
On April 26, 2024, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a 60 MW battery storage asset in the U.S. for proceeds of approximately $87 million ($25 million net to Brookfield Renewable). As a result of the disposition, Brookfield Renewable derecognized $82 million of total assets from the consolidated statements of financial position. This resulted in a gain on disposition of $5 million ($2 million net to Brookfield Renewable) recognized within Other income in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
On May 28, 2024, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a 30 MW hydroelectric asset in the U.S. for proceeds of approximately $67 million ($15 million net to Brookfield Renewable) net of transaction fees. As a result of the disposition, Brookfield Renewable derecognized $42 million of total assets and $4 million of total liabilities from the consolidated statements of financial position. This resulted in a gain on disposition of $29 million ($6 million net to Brookfield Renewable) recognized within Other income in the consolidated statements of income (loss). As a result of the disposition, Brookfield Renewable's post-tax portion of the accumulated revaluation surplus of $28 million was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income directly to equity and presented as a Disposals item in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.
On May 31, 2024, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a 85 MW portfolio of biomass facilities in Brazil for proceeds of approximately R$251 million ($48 million) (R$105 million ($21 million) net to Brookfield Renewable). As a result of the disposition, Brookfield Renewable derecognized $86 million of total assets and $2 million of total liabilities from the consolidated statements of financial position. This resulted in loss on disposition of $24 million ($11 million net to Brookfield Renewable) recognized through other comprehensive income and $12 million ($5 million net to Brookfield Renewable) recognized within Other in the consolidated statements of income (loss) during the year.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
RISK MANAGEMENT
Brookfield Renewable’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (i.e., commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Brookfield Renewable uses financial instruments primarily to manage these risks.
There have been no other material changes in exposure to the risks Brookfield Renewable is exposed to since the December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements.
Fair value disclosures
Fair value is 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.
Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. In determining those assumptions, management looks primarily to external readily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves, currency rates, commodity prices and, as applicable, credit spreads.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset is the consideration that would be received in an orderly transaction between market participants, considering the highest and best use of the asset.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.
Level 1 – inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs, other than quoted prices in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

5. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
Brookfield Renewable’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) review the results of the business, manage operations, and allocate resources based on the type of technology.
Brookfield Renewable operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) utility-scale solar, 4) distributed energy and storage (distributed generation and pumped storage), 5) sustainable solutions (renewable natural gas, carbon capture and storage, recycling, cogeneration biomass, nuclear services, and power transformation), and 6) corporate - with hydroelectric further segmented by geography (i.e., North America, Colombia, and Brazil). This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews results of our company.
The reporting to the CODM was revised during the fourth quarter of 2023 to disaggregate the distributed energy & sustainable solutions business into distributed energy & storage and sustainable solutions. This change is consistent with the development of Brookfield Renewable’s business as distributed generation and sustainable solutions continue to grow as a more significant component of the business. The financial information of operating segments in the prior period has been restated to present the corresponding results of the distributed energy & storage and sustainable solutions.
Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources is provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a Unitholder (holders of the GP interest, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and LP units) perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results allocable to Brookfield Renewable’s Unitholders.
Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate consolidation basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, depreciation, current and deferred income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earnings from equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, and exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items.
Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its consolidated financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses does not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claims or exposures to such items.
Brookfield Renewable reports its results in accordance with these segments and presents prior period segmented information in a consistent manner.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Basis of preparation and material accounting policy information. Brookfield Renewable analyzes the performance of its operating segments based on Funds From Operations. Funds From Operations is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Funds From Operations used by other entities, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALPAC”) and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”).
Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of Brookfield Renewable before the effects of certain cash items (e.g., acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g., deferred income taxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business, and including investment tax credits not allocated to tax equity partners. Brookfield Renewable includes realized disposition gains and losses on assets that we developed and/or did not intend to hold over the long-term within Funds From Operations in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in current period net income.

Brookfield Renewable's effective income tax rate was (26)% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (2023: 12%). The effective tax rate is different than the statutory rate primarily due to rate differentials, non-recognition of the benefit of current year tax losses, and non-controlling interests' income or loss not subject to tax.

Medium term notes
Corporate borrowings are obligations of a finance subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield Renewable Partners ULC (“Canadian Finco”) (Note 20 – Subsidiary public issuers). Canadian Finco may redeem some or all of the borrowings from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the indenture. The balance is payable upon maturity, and interest on corporate borrowings is paid semi-annually. The term notes payable by Canadian Finco are unconditionally guaranteed by Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield Renewable Energy L.P. (“BRELP”) and certain other subsidiaries.
During the first quarter of 2024, Brookfield Renewable issued C$400 million of Series 17 medium-term notes. The medium-term notes have a fixed interest rate of 5.32% and a maturity date of January 10, 2054. The Series 17 medium-term notes are corporate-level green bonds.
Non-recourse borrowings
Non-recourse borrowings are typically asset-specific, long-term, non-recourse borrowings denominated in the domestic currency of the subsidiary. Non-recourse borrowings in North America and Europe consist of both fixed and floating interest rate debt indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) and the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”). Brookfield Renewable uses interest rate swap agreements in North America and Europe to minimize its exposure to floating interest rates. Non-recourse borrowings in Brazil consist of floating interest rates of Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo (“TJLP”), the Brazil National Bank for Economic Development’s long-term interest rate, or Interbank Deposit Certificate rate (“CDI”), plus a margin. Non-recourse borrowings in Colombia consist of both fixed and floating interest rates indexed to Indicador Bancario de Referencia rate (“IBR”), the Banco Central de Colombia short-term interest rate, and Colombian Consumer Price Index (“IPC”), Colombia inflation rate, plus a margin. Non-Recourse borrowings in India consist of both fixed and floating interest indexed to Prime lending rate of lender (“MCLR”). Non-recourse borrowings in China consist of floating interest rates of People's Bank of China (“PBOC”).
Brookfield Renewable has completed an assessment and implemented its transition plan to address the impact and effect changes as a result of amendments to the contractual terms for the replacement of the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) with CORRA referenced floating-rate borrowings, interest rate swaps, and updating hedge designations. The adoption did not have a significant impact on Brookfield Renewable’s financial reporting.
As at June 30, 2024, Brookfield Renewable’s floating rate borrowings have not been materially impacted by SOFR and CORRA reforms.
The composition of non-recourse borrowings is presented in the following table:

General partnership interest in a holding subsidiary held by Brookfield, Participating non-controlling interests – in a holding subsidiary – Redeemable/Exchangeable units held by Brookfield and BEPC Class A exchangeable shares of Brookfield Renewable Corporation held by public shareholders and Brookfield
Brookfield, as the owner of the 1% GP interest in BRELP, is entitled to regular distributions plus an incentive distribution based on the amount by which quarterly distributions exceed specified target levels. As at June 30, 2024, to the extent that LP unit distributions exceed $0.20 per LP unit per quarter, the incentive is 15% of distributions above this threshold. To the extent that quarterly LP unit distributions exceed $0.2253 per LP unit per quarter, the incentive distribution is equal to 25% of distributions above this threshold. Incentive distributions of $32 million and $65 million were declared during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively (2023: $28 million and $55 million, respectively).
Consolidated equity includes Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and the GP interest. The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units and the GP interest are held 100% by Brookfield, the BEPC exchangeable shares are held 25% by Brookfield Holders, with the remainder held by public shareholders. The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units and BEPC exchangeable shares provide the holder, at its discretion, with the right to redeem these units or shares, respectively, for cash consideration. Since this redemption right is subject to Brookfield Renewable’s right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the redemption request with LP units of Brookfield Renewable on a one-for-one basis, the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units and BEPC exchangeable shares are classified as equity in accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation.
The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and the GP interest are presented as non-controlling interests since they relate to equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to Brookfield Renewable. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, exchangeable shareholders of BEPC exchanged 7,459 and 10,142 BEPC exchangeable shares (2023: 833 and 2,575 during the same periods) for an equivalent number of LP units amounting to less than $1 million (2023: less than $1 million). No Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units have been redeemed.
The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units issued by BRELP and the BEPC exchangeable shares issued by BEPC have the same economic attributes in all respects to the LP units issued by Brookfield Renewable, except for the redemption rights described above. The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and the GP interest, excluding incentive distributions, participate in earnings and distributions on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of the LP units of Brookfield Renewable.
As at June 30, 2024, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and units of GP interest outstanding were 194,487,939 units (December 31, 2023: 194,487,939 units), 179,641,384 shares (December 31, 2023: 179,651,526 shares), and 3,977,260 units (December 31, 2023: 3,977,260 units), respectively.
In December 2023, Brookfield Renewable renewed its normal course issuer bid in connection with its LP units and entered into a normal course issuer bid for its outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares. Brookfield Renewable is authorized to repurchase up to 14,361,497 LP units and 8,982,586 BEPC exchangeable shares, representing 5% of its issued and outstanding LP units and BEPC exchangeable shares. The bids will expire on December 17, 2024, or earlier should Brookfield Renewable complete its repurchases prior to such date. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were nil BEPC exchangeable shares repurchased.

An integral part of Brookfield Renewable’s strategy is to participate with institutional partners in Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds that target acquisitions that suit Brookfield Renewable’s profile. In the normal course of business, Brookfield Renewable has made commitments to Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds to participate in these target acquisitions in the future, if and when identified. From time to time, in order to facilitate investment activities in a timely and efficient manner, Brookfield Renewable will fund deposits or incur other costs and expenses (including by use of loan facilities to consummate, support, guarantee or issue letters of credit) in respect of an investment that ultimately will be shared with or made entirely by Brookfield sponsored vehicles, consortiums and/or partnerships (including private funds, joint ventures and similar arrangements), Brookfield Renewable, or by co-investors.
Contingencies
Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, arbitrations and actions arising in the normal course of business. While the final outcome of such legal proceedings and actions cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such proceedings and actions will not have a material impact on Brookfield Renewable’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Brookfield Renewable, on behalf of Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries, and the subsidiaries themselves have provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance. The activity on the issued letters of credit by Brookfield Renewable can be found in Note 8 – Borrowings.
Brookfield Renewable, along with institutional partners, has provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance as it relates to interests in the Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, the Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund V, Brookfield Global Transition Fund and Brookfield Global Transition Fund II. Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries have similarly provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance.

Letters of credit issued by Brookfield Renewable along with institutional partners and its subsidiaries were as at the following dates:

Brookfield Renewable's subsidiaries | 1,891 | | | 2,026 | |
| $ | 2,006 | | | $ | 2,126 | |
Guarantees
In the normal course of operations, Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries execute agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third-parties of transactions such as business dispositions, capital project purchases, business acquisitions, power marketing activities such as purchase and sale agreements, swap agreements, credit facilities of certain Brookfield private funds and that are also secured by committed capital of our third-party institutional partners, and sales and purchases of assets and services. Brookfield Renewable has also agreed to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings prevents Brookfield Renewable from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that Brookfield Renewable could be required to pay third parties as the agreements do not always 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 Brookfield Renewable nor its subsidiaries have made material payments under such indemnification agreements.
