Partners Value Investments LP Announces 2016 Third Quarter Results

V.PVF.PR.U

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 28, 2016) - Partners Value Investments LP (the "Partnership") (TSX VENTURE:PVF) announced today its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Net income for the quarter was $25 million, of which $15 million was attributable to the Equity Limited Partners ($0.20 per unit) compared to a net loss of $35 million ($0.47 per unit) in the prior year quarter. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in investment income and higher level of returns from our investment activity.

The Partnership's net book value decreased by $4.74 per unit to $38.23 per unit primarily due to the capital reorganization as a portion of the previous equity of Partners Value Investments Inc. was exchanged for Preferred Limited Partnership units. Adjusting for the impact of the capital reorganization, the Partnership's net book value increased 12% from $34.05 to $38.23 per unit due to higher comprehensive income, mainly driven by the increase in value of Brookfield common shares.
