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

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

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

The partnership’s limited partnership units (“BPY Units” or “LP Units”) were delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) on July 26, 2021. See Note 3, Privatization of the Partnership for further information. The partnership’s 6.5% Preferred Units, Series 1, 6.375% Preferred Units, Series 2, 5.75% Preferred Units, Series 3, and Brookfield Property Preferred L.P.’s (“New LP”) 6.25% Preferred Units, Series 1 are traded on the Nasdaq under the symbols “BPYPP”, “BPYPO”, “BPYPN”, and “BPYPM” respectively. The New LP 6.25% Preferred Units, Series 1 are also traded on the TSX under the symbol “BPYP.PR.A

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

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

These condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the partnership on May 6, 2022.
b)Basis of presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those used in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Consequently, the information included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the partnership’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, as a result of a change in accounting policy, the partnership reclassified depreciation and amortization expense, which was previously presented as a separate line item, to direct commercial property expense and direct hospitality expense. Prior period amounts were also adjusted to reflect this change, which resulted in an increase to direct commercial property expense and direct hospitality expense of $20 million and $48 million for three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, with equal and offsetting decreases to depreciation and amortization expense. This reclassification had no impact on revenues or net income.

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

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

c)Critical judgements and estimates in applying accounting policies
The preparation of the partnership’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the partnership’s accounting policies. The accounting policies and critical estimates and assumptions have been set out in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the partnership’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

There remains a residual risk arising from any emerging or future variants of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”), and any resulting responses from global government authorities, across the various geographies in which the partnership owns and operates investment properties, and property, plant and equipment. As a result of this residual risk, there remains uncertainty in the near-term surrounding leasing trends, market rates, and the ability to exit investments in the partnership’s expected timeframe. These circumstances have created estimation uncertainty in the determination of the fair value of investment properties as of March 31, 2022.

Judgment is applied when determining whether indicators of impairment exist when assessing the carrying values of the partnership’s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for potential impairment as a result of COVID-19. Consideration is given to a combination of factors,
        7             


including but not limited to forecasts of revenues and expenses, valuations of assets, and projections of market trends and economic environments.

NOTE 3. PRIVATIZATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
During the first quarter of 2021, Brookfield Asset Management announced a proposal to acquire all LP Units and limited partnership units of Brookfield Office Properties Exchange LP (“Exchange LP Units”) that it did not previously own (“Privatization”) for $18.17 cash per unit, BAM class A limited voting shares (“BAM shares”), or BPY preferred units with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit (“New LP Preferred Units”, see Note 13, Capital Securities for further information ), subject to pro-ration. On July 16, 2021, the Privatization was approved by the unitholders. On July 26, 2021, BAM completed the Privatization and the acquisition of all Brookfield Property Retail Holding LLC (“BPYU”) Class A stock, par value $.01 per share (“BPYU Units”) that it did not previously own. The LP Units were delisted from the TSX and Nasdaq at market close on July 26, 2021. The BPYU Units were delisted from Nasdaq at market close on the same date. The New LP Preferred Units issued in the privatization began trading on the TSX under the symbol “BPYP.PR.A” and Nasdaq under the symbol “BPYPM” on July 27, 2021.

Based on unitholder elections, together with the amounts to be delivered to holders of BPYU Units, an aggregate of 51,971,192 units elected for cash, 271,358,615 units elected for BAM shares and 17,970,971 units elected for New LP Preferred Units. As holders elected to receive more BAM shares than were available under the transaction, unitholders that elected to receive BAM shares received 54.5316% of the aggregate BAM shares they elected to receive and the balance was delivered 93.05% in cash and 6.95% in New LP Preferred Units. Unitholders who made an election to receive 100% of their consideration in cash received $18.17 in cash and Unitholders who made an election to receive 100% of their consideration in New LP Preferred Units received 0.7268 New LP Preferred Units.

Cash consideration of approximately $3.0 billion was paid by the partnership, whilst BAM distributed 59,279,263 BAM Class A shares and 19,287,783 New LP Preferred Units to holders of LP Units, BPYU Units and Exchange LP Units. The cash consideration was funded to the partnership by BAM in exchange for approximately $2.5 billion of non-voting common equity of a BPY subsidiary which is accounted for as non-controlling interests by BPY (“Canholdco Class B Common Shares”) with the remainder for New LP Preferred Units. The New LP Preferred Units were recognized at a fair value of approximately $474 million upon issuance and classified as a financial liability under the amortized cost basis on the balance sheet. See Note 13, Capital Securities for further information on New LP Preferred Units.

The impacts of the Privatization are disclosed separately in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the year end December 31, 2021. The Privatization was accounted for by the partnership as a redemption of LP Units, Exchange LP Units and BPYU Units for cash and redeemable/exchangeable partnership units of the operating partnership (“Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units” or “REUs”). The difference between the carrying value of the redeemed LP Units, Exchange LP Units, and BPYU Units and the fair value of the consideration paid for was recognized in Ownership Changes and was attributed pro-rata to the remaining LP Units and the REUs. After the Privatization, all of the outstanding LP Units are owned by BAM. No Exchange LP Units or BPYU Units are held by public holders following the Privatization. In connection with the Privatization, approximately $250 million of preferred equity of BPYU was fully redeemed for cash. See Note 28, Unit-Based Compensation in the 2021 annual report for information on the impact to unit-based compensation resulting from the Privatization.

Subsequent to the Privatization, there are no longer publicly traded LP Units. As such, earnings per unit is no longer presented.

NOTE 4. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES
The following table presents a roll forward of the partnership’s investment property balances, all of which are considered Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021:

(1)Property dispositions represent the fair value on date of sale.
(2)Includes right-of-use commercial properties and commercial developments of $550 million and $22 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $557 million and $24 million). Current lease liabilities of $119 million (December 31, 2021 - $118 million) have been included in accounts payable and other liabilities and non-current lease liabilities of $457 million (December 31, 2021 - $558 million) have been included in other non-current liabilities.

The partnership determines the fair value of each commercial property based upon, among other things, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases reflecting market conditions at the applicable balance sheet dates, less future cash outflows in respect of such leases. Investment property valuations are generally completed by undertaking one of two accepted income approach methods,
        8             


which include either: i) discounting the expected future cash flows, generally over a term of 10 years including a terminal value based on the application of a capitalization rate to estimated year 11 cash flows; or ii) undertaking a direct capitalization approach whereby a capitalization rate is applied to estimated current year cash flows. Where there has been a recent market transaction for a specific property, such as an acquisition or sale of a partial interest, the partnership values the property on that basis. In determining the appropriateness of the methodology applied, the partnership considers the relative uncertainty of the timing and amount of expected cash flows and the impact such uncertainty would have in arriving at a reliable estimate of fair value. The partnership prepares these valuations considering asset and market specific factors, as well as observable transactions for similar assets. The determination of fair value requires the use of estimates, which are internally determined and compared with market data, third-party reports and research as well as observable conditions. Except for the impacts caused by COVID-19 and the resulting measurement uncertainty discussed in Note 2(c), Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Critical judgements and estimates in applying accounting policies, there are currently no other known trends, events or uncertainties that the partnership reasonably believes could have a sufficiently pervasive impact across the partnership’s businesses to materially affect the methodologies or assumptions utilized to determine the estimated fair values reflected in this report. In response to the measurement uncertainty caused by COVID-19, the partnership has adjusted cash flow assumptions for its estimate of the near-term disruption to cash flows to reflect collections, vacancy and assumptions with respect to new leasing activity. In addition, the partnership has assessed the appropriateness of the discount and terminal capitalization rates giving consideration to changes to property level cash flows and any risk premium inherent in such cash flow changes as well as the cost of capital and credit spreads. Discount rates and capitalization rates are inherently uncertain and may be impacted by, among other things, movements in interest rates in the geographies and markets in which the assets are located. Changes in estimates of discount and capitalization rates across different geographies and markets are often independent of each other and not necessarily in the same direction or of the same magnitude. Further, impacts to the partnership’s fair values of commercial properties from changes in discount or capitalization rates and cash flows are usually inversely correlated. Decreases (increases) in the discount rate or capitalization rate result in increases (decreases) of fair value. Such decreases (increases) may be mitigated by decreases (increases) in cash flows included in the valuation analysis, as circumstances that typically give rise to increased interest rates (e.g., strong economic growth, inflation) usually give rise to increased cash flows at the asset level. Refer to the table below for further information on valuation methods used by the partnership for its asset classes.

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

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

Valuation Metrics
The key valuation metrics for the partnership’s consolidated commercial properties are set forth in the following tables below on a weighted-average basis:

Capital securities includes $474 million (December 31, 2021 - $474 million) of preferred equity interests issued in connection with the Privatization which have been classified as a liability, rather than as a non-controlling interest, due to the fact that the holders of such interests can demand cash payment upon maturity of July 26, 2081, for the liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit and any accumulated unpaid dividends.

Cumulative preferred dividends on the BOP Split Senior Preferred Shares are payable quarterly, as and when declared by BOP Split. On February 1, 2022, BOP Split declared quarterly dividends payable for the BOP Split Senior Preferred Shares.

Capital securities also includes $142 million at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $142 million) of preferred equity interests held by a third party investor in Rouse which have been classified as a liability, rather than as a non-controlling interest, due to the fact that the interests are mandatorily redeemable on or after November 12, 2025 for a set price per unit plus any accrued but unpaid distributions; distributions are capped and accrue regardless of available cash generated.

Capital securities also includes $499 million at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $440 million) of preferred equity interests held by third party investors in the India REIT, which have been classified as a liability, rather than as a non-controlling interest, due to the fact that India REIT has a contractual obligation to make distributions to unitholders every six months at an amount no less than 90% of net distributable cash flows.

Capital Securities – Fund Subsidiaries includes $833 million at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $810 million) of equity interests in Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC (“DTLA”) held by co-investors in DTLA which have been classified as a liability, rather than as non-controlling interest, as holders of these interests can cause DTLA to redeem their interests in the fund for cash equivalent to the fair value of the interests on October 15, 2023, and on every fifth anniversary thereafter. Capital Securities – Fund Subsidiaries are measured at FVTPL.

Capital Securities – Fund Subsidiaries also includes $47 million at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $49 million) which represents the equity interests held by the partnership’s co-investor in the D.C.

NOTE 14. INCOME TAXES
The partnership is a flow-through entity for tax purposes and as such is not subject to Bermudian taxation. However, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable by the primary holding subsidiaries of the partnership (“Holding Entities”), any direct or indirect corporate subsidiaries of the Holding Entities and for the impact of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to such entities.

(US$ Millions) 20222021

Deferred income tax156 79 
Income tax expense$183 $105 

The partnership’s income tax expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income, a reduction in the benefit recognized for previously unrecognized deferred tax assets, and non-recurring tax benefits from Brookfield Opportunity Zone fund investments that occurred in the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a change in the tax rate of certain subsidiaries and the derecognition of previously recognized deferred tax assets.

NOTE 17. EQUITY
The partnership’s capital structure is comprised of five classes of partnership units: GP Units, LP Units, REUs, special limited partnership units of the operating partnership (“Special LP Units”) and FV LTIP units of the operating partnership (“FV LTIP Units”). In addition, the partnership issued Class A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units, Series 1 in the first quarter of 2019, Class A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units, Series 2 in the third quarter of 2019 and Class A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units, Series 3 in the first quarter of 2020 (“Preferred Equity Units”).

As part of the Privatization, the partnership fully redeemed public holders of two classes of partnership units: Exchange LP Units and BPYU Units. Refer to Note 3, Privatization of the Partnership for discussion of the impacts of the Privatization to the partnership’s equity structure.

a)General and limited partnership equity
GP Units entitle the holder to the right to govern the financial and operating policies of the partnership. The GP Units are entitled to a 1% general partnership interest.

LP Units entitle the holder to their proportionate share of distributions. Each LP Unit entitles the holder thereof to one vote for the purposes of any approval at a meeting of limited partners, provided that holders of the Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units that are exchanged for LP Units will only be entitled to a maximum number of votes in respect of the Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units equal to 49% of the total voting power of all outstanding units.

The following table presents changes to the GP Units and LP Units from the beginning of the year:

(1)Each unit within these classes of non-controlling interest has economic terms substantially equivalent to those of an LP Unit. As such, income attributed to each unit or share of non-controlling interest is equivalent to that allocated to an LP Unit. The proportion of interests held by holders of the Redeemable/Exchangeable Units changes as a result of issuances, repurchases and exchanges. Consequently, the partnership adjusted the relative carrying amounts of the interests held by limited partners and non-controlling interests based on their relative share of the equivalent LP Units. The difference between the adjusted value and the previous carrying amounts was attributed to current LP Units as ownership changes in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity

NOTE 27. OBLIGATIONS, GUARANTEES, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER
In the normal course of operations, the partnership and its consolidated entities execute agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third parties in transactions such as dispositions, acquisitions, sales of assets and sales of services.
Certain of the partnership’s operating subsidiaries have also agreed to indemnify their directors and certain of their officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings prevent the partnership from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that it could be required to pay third parties as the agreements do not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, neither the partnership nor its consolidated subsidiaries have made significant payments under such indemnification agreements.
The partnership and its operating subsidiaries may be contingently liable with respect to litigation and claims that arise from time to time in the normal course of business or otherwise.

During 2013, Brookfield Asset Management announced the final close on the $4.4 billion BSREP I fund, a global private fund focused on making opportunistic investments in commercial property.

In November 2017, Brookfield Asset Management announced the final close on the $2.9 billion fifth Brookfield Real Estate Finance Fund (“BREF”) to which the partnership had committed $400 million. As of March 31, 2022, there remained approximately $160 million of uncontributed capital commitments.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). Fair value measurement establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets represent a Level 1 valuation. When quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the partnership maximizes the use of observable inputs within valuation models. When all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, the valuation is classified as Level 2. Valuations that require the significant use of unobservable inputs are considered Level 3, which reflect the partnership’s market assumptions and are noted below. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

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

NOTE 29. RELATED PARTIES
In the normal course of operations, the partnership enters into transactions with related parties. These transactions have been measured at exchange value and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The immediate parent of the partnership is Brookfield Property Partners Limited. The ultimate parent of the partnership is Brookfield Asset Management. Other related parties of the partnership include Brookfield Asset Management’s subsidiaries and operating entities, certain joint ventures and associates accounted for under the equity method, as well as officers of such entities and their spouses.

The partnership has a management agreement with its service providers, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Brookfield Asset Management. Pursuant to a Master Services Agreement, which was amended in connection with the Privatization, the partnership pays a base management fee (“base management fee”), to the service providers. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the base management fee was calculated one quarter in arrears based on the equity attributable to Unitholders of the Core Office, Core Retail and Corporate segments. Prior to the Privatization, the partnership paid a base management fee equal to 0.5% of the total capitalization of the partnership, subject to an annual minimum of $50 million plus annual inflation adjustments. The amount of the equity enhancement distribution is reduced by the amount by which the base management fee is greater than $50 million per annum, plus annual inflation adjustments. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the partnership paid a base management fee of $55 million (2021 - $30 million).

In connection with the issuance of preferred equity units of the operating partnership to a third party in the fourth quarter of 2014, Brookfield Asset Management contingently agreed to acquire the seven-year and ten-year tranches of preferred equity units from the holder for the initial issuance price plus accrued and unpaid distributions and to exchange such units for preferred equity units with terms and conditions substantially similar to the twelve-year tranche to the extent that the market price of the LP Units is less than 80% of the exchange price at maturity. On December 30, 2021, Brookfield Asset Management acquired the seven-year tranche of preferred equity units from the holder and
        28             


exchanged such units for Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units. The seven-year tranche of preferred equity units were subsequently canceled.

NOTE 30. SEGMENT INFORMATION
a)Operating segments
IFRS 8, Operating Segments, requires operating segments to be determined based on internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of allocating resources to the segment and to assessing its performance. The partnership’s operating segments are organized into four reportable segments: i) Core Office, ii) Core Retail, iii) LP Investments and iv) Corporate. This is consistent with how the partnership presents financial information to the CODM and investors. These segments are independently and regularly reviewed and managed by the Chief Executive Officer, who is considered the CODM.

b)Basis of measurement
The CODM measures and evaluates the performance of the partnership’s operating segments based on funds from operations (“FFO”). This performance metric does not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may differ from similar metrics used by other companies and organizations. Management believes that while not an IFRS measure, FFO is the most consistent metric to measure the partnership’s financial statements and for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing its performance.

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