This 20-F serves as the comprehensive annual report following the company's significant corporate simplification, which converted it from a partnership to a corporation. While the restructuring was previously announced, this filing provides the full financial and operational details for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, under the new corporate structure. Key financial highlights include a decrease in net income to $387 million and revenues to $27.46 billion, primarily due to dispositions and lower tax benefits. However, Adjusted EBITDA remained relatively stable at $2.41 billion. The company actively managed its portfolio with several large acquisitions and dispositions, including the sale of interests to a Brookfield-managed evergreen fund for $688 million and the acquisition of Chemelex for $1.7 billion. Net debt increased to $40.2 billion, raising the net debt-to-capital ratio to 72%, indicating increased leverage. Counterbalancing this, the company executed substantial share repurchases, buying back over 8.4 million LP Units and BBUC exchangeable shares in 2025. The report also details Brookfield's continued significant voting control (92%) and the incentive dividend structure. Investors should monitor the company's leverage and the integration of new acquisitions, while noting the strategic benefits of the corporate simplification and ongoing capital recycling.
