Operator: Welcome to the Brookfield Business Partners Third Quarter 2024 Results Conference Call and Webcast. As a reminder, all individuals are in listen-only mode and the convention is being recorded. After the presentation, there shall be a possibility to ask questions. [Operator Instructions] Now I want to flip the convention over to Alan Fleming, Head of Investor Relations. Please go forward, Mr. Fleming.

Alan Fleming: Thank you, operator, and good morning. Before we start, I’d wish to remind you that in responding to questions and speaking about our progress initiatives and our monetary and working efficiency, we could make forward-looking statements. These statements are topic to recognized and unknown dangers, and future outcomes could differ materially. For additional info on recognized threat elements, I encourage you to assessment our filings with the securities regulators in Canada and the U.S., that are each accessible on our web site. We’ll start the decision right now with a enterprise replace from Anuj Ranjan, our Chief Executive Officer. Anuj will then flip the decision over to Adrian Letts, Head of our Business Operations group, to offer an replace on a number of of our strategic initiatives.

We’ll finish the decision with Jaspreet Dehl, Chief Financial Officer, who will assessment our monetary efficiency for the quarter. After we end our ready remarks, the group will then be accessible to take your questions. And with that, I’d now wish to move the decision over to Anuj.

Anuj Ranjan: Thanks, Alan, and good morning, all people. Thank you for becoming a member of us on the decision right now. We had a superb quarter, and we’re happy with the progress that we’re making throughout our enterprise. Our monetary outcomes this quarter have been very sturdy with adjusted EBITDA rising to $844 million. This features a important worth of credit that Clarios is entitled to obtain beneath the Inflation Reduction Act, which is targeted on enhancing home provide chain and selling essential manufacturing within the United States. This provides us the flexibility to create an excellent stronger enterprise within the U.S. and search for further progress alternatives for the corporate. We’ve additionally been busy setting the stage for the continued progress of our enterprise.

We closed our acquisition of Network International, which we plan to mix with our current operation Magnati to create the market-leading digital funds enterprise within the area. Adrian will converse extra about this shortly. Meanwhile, on the capital recycling entrance, we generated greater than $350 million of proceeds from distributions and monetizations, together with the lately introduced sale of a good portion of Altera. We are additionally very inspired by the progress we’re making on our monetization plans at Clarios and will be capable of present an extra replace quickly. Stepping again, since launching BBU, we’ve invested about $9 billion alongside Brookfield’s personal fairness enterprise to amass high-quality mission essential and market-leading companies.

Most of those are nice compounders of worth in their very own proper, and we’re making them even higher as we execute our enchancment plans, leveraging our personal fairness playbook, which has been developed and honed over the previous 25-years. By promoting on the proper time, we will notice sturdy returns and reinvest the capital to proceed compounding worth. We’ve had nice success doing this as a public firm, realizing over $6 billion of proceeds from the sale of 20 companies delivering a 3 occasions a number of of our capital and producing an IRR of roughly 30%. This is an distinctive composite monitor report and we’re solely simply getting began. Half of the companies we personal right now have been acquired over simply the final three years, which suggests there’s nonetheless lots of runway to go as we execute our enchancment plans.

Most of those operations are bigger scale and better high quality than the companies we’ve bought, which signifies that the distribution must be bigger and the proceeds that can come again to us sooner or later once we promote these companies shall be even higher. While our buying and selling costs elevated practically 70% since this time final 12 months, our shares are nonetheless buying and selling at a large low cost to intrinsic worth. As charges proceed to return down, our money flows will develop, transaction exercise will return and traders ought to resume worth in our items on a elementary foundation. All of that is good for our enterprise and will set the stage for additional enchancment in our buying and selling efficiency as we proceed to concentrate on compounding worth for our shareholders. Before I move the decision over to Adrian, I wished to thank all of you who have been capable of be a part of us in September at our Annual Investor Day.

It was nice to see so many acquainted faces within the room and for anybody who is just not capable of be a part of us, the webcast and supplies can be found on our web site. And with that, I’ll now flip the decision over to Adrian.

Adrian Letts: Thank you, Anuj, and good morning, all people. It’s nice to be becoming a member of you this morning. As Anuj talked about, we’ve made some nice progress in our enterprise over the previous few months, together with closing the acquisition of Network International and signing an settlement to promote Altera’s shuttle tanker operations. Each present an perception into our method to worth creation, which I assumed I’d spend a while speaking about right now. So let’s begin with our acquisition of Network International. As a reminder, Network International is the market-leading digital cost companies supplier within the Middle East, servicing over 150,000 retailers, managing 18 million credit score and debit playing cards on behalf of main monetary establishments and processing over $50 billion of funds yearly.

It’s an unbelievable enterprise, offering a mission-critical know-how that enables each governments and retailers to securely course of each on and off-line funds, thereby forming the spine of the monetary economies the place it operates. Network can also be benefiting from huge secular tailwinds. Both income and revenue have grown at an annual price of greater than 15% over the previous two years, pushed by underlying demographic progress within the area and the continual shift from money to card and on-line funds. Despite this, the enterprise was by no means rather well understood as a publicly listed Middle Eastern firm on the London Stock Exchange, and the dislocation within the public worth allowed us to amass it for what we felt was superb worth. But what additionally made this acquisition notably attention-grabbing for us is that we already personal Magnati, the second largest cost processor within the area.

Combining these two companies creates a champion within the high-growth cost resolution area. The mixed platform can have unmatched scale and restricted buyer overlap. And with the vast majority of cost quantity within the area now going by means of our pipes, we can have an incredible information and knowledge benefit, which is able to permit us to generate insights to enhance each the product providing, but additionally the shopper expertise. It’s a tremendously thrilling alternative for us and the mixing plans are progressing effectively. We’ve stood up a devoted transformation workplace overseeing key work streams and have secured some latest wins throughout income, value and CapEx optimization synergies. Our capability to execute advanced carve-outs like what we did with Magnati and drive large-scale transformation makes us a associate of alternative in most of these conditions.

Turning to Altera, which as you understand, has been one in all our more durable conditions over the previous a number of years, it’s in most of these situations the place our hands-on method to worth creation serves us exceptionally effectively, taking a longer-term view doubling down on the backside and rolling up our sleeves to maximise our returns. It’s been practically two years since Altera emerged from a course of aimed toward simplifying the capital construction and giving the enterprise extra flexibility to execute on its long-term progress plans. We’ve offered the enterprise with further capital to deleverage the stability sheet and put in place a complete working plan to enhance efficiency and reposition operations. Since then, the outlook for Altera has dramatically improved, pushed by recovering buyer sentiment, a renewed concentrate on offshore discipline developments and the advantages of an inflationary setting, which has elevated the worth of Altera’s belongings and allowed it to contract at greater costs.

On the again of this, final 12 months, the enterprise entered into long-term contracts for the redeployment of two floating manufacturing storage and offloading vessels on new discipline developments offering elevated certainty to its longer-term earnings and money circulate. It additionally efficiently accomplished a debt refinancing, which lowered the price of its borrowings and has continued divesting non-core belongings to pay down debt. With the enterprise on a significantly better footing right now, simply this week, we reached an settlement to promote Altera’s shuttle tanker operations for complete consideration of about $1.9 billion. BBU’s share of web proceeds is anticipated to be $265 million. This is a wonderful consequence, and none of this might have been doable two years in the past, however by being affected person and leaning into our operational capabilities, we’re capable of assist the enterprise and discover a path to maximise worth as we proceed working in the direction of realizing further proceeds from the sale of different items of the enterprise.

With that, I’ll hand it over to Jaspreet for a assessment of the monetary efficiency within the quarter.

Jaspreet Dehl: Thanks, Adrian, and good morning, everybody. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $844 million in comparison with $655 million within the prior 12 months. Current interval outcomes included a $296 million profit recorded at our superior power storage operations. These advantages are manufacturing credit for the 12-months ended September 30, 2024, which the enterprise is entitled to say beneath the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and the relevant laws which have been finalized final month. On a same-store foundation after adjusting for acquisitions and tendencies and the profit recorded at Clarios through the quarter, adjusted EBITDA was consistent with prior 12 months. While general enterprise efficiency has been secure, we noticed some softness in choose markets.

At our engineered parts producer, we’re seeing weaker gross sales volumes and we count on demand will normalize subsequent 12 months. The state of affairs at our well being care companies operation on Australia is rather more difficult, the place the enterprise has an unsustainable value construction primarily resulting from wage inflation within the business. Adjusted EFO for the quarter was $582 million, which included $131 million of web positive factors primarily associated to the disposition of our highway gas operation and the deconsolidation of our cost processing companies operations in our Business Services section. Turning to our section efficiency. Our Industrial section generated $500 million of third quarter adjusted EBITDA. Underlying efficiency was supported by rising contributions from our Brazilian water and wastewater companies operations, pushed by greater billing charges in addition to sturdy contribution from our superior power operations.

Prior interval outcomes included contributions from disposed operations, together with our Canadian aggregates manufacturing enterprise, which was bought in June. Moving to our Business Services section. We generated third quarter adjusted EBITDA of $228 million. Prior interval included contribution from our highway fuels operation, which was bought in July. Our residential mortgage insurer is performing effectively and benefited from greater insurance coverage income and funding revenue. Housing fundamentals in Canada stay balanced in most areas, and forecasts point out that costs are anticipated to extend subsequent 12 months as mortgage charges come down. Results at our seller software program and know-how companies operation included the influence of upper prices because the enterprise accelerates its modernization and know-how improve actions.

Finally, our Infrastructure Services section generated $146 million of adjusted EBITDA in comparison with $228 million final 12 months. Prior 12 months included $77 million of contributions from Nuclear Technology Services, which was bought final November. Results benefited from sturdy efficiency at our offshore oil companies operation. Performance at our lottery companies operations noticed some influence from the push out of terminal deliveries within the quarter and lower-sized jackpot ranges, which resulted in softer business volumes in comparison with final 12 months. The enterprise is positioned for a number of potential industrial wins over the subsequent few quarters that ought to contribute significant incremental progress. Turning to our stability sheet. We ended the quarter with $1.6 billion of liquidity on the company stage, which is pro-forma for latest and introduced acquisitions and realizations.

Our near-term focus is to cut back borrowings at our company credit score facility, which we’ve drawn as a bridge to fund a portion of our latest acquisition exercise. We’ll additionally proceed to spend money on strategic acquisitions to develop our enterprise, reinvest in our current operations to generate incremental returns and opportunistically repurchase our items the place it’ll improve intrinsic worth of our items. With that, I’d like to show the decision again over to the operator for questions.

Q&A Session

Operator: Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Our first query comes from the road of Gary Ho with Desjardins Capital Markets.

Gary Ho: Thanks and good morning. Maybe simply to start out off on the subject of this Inflation Reduction Act profit. Just questioning how sustainable this quantity is searching and simply ideas on any chats or chats with consultants and whatnot by way of form of the brand new Trump administration coming in, whether or not there could possibly be any modifications on this?

Anuj Ranjan: Thanks, Gary. It’s Anuj right here. I’ll begin, after which I’ll let Jaspreet chime in additional as effectively. So Clarios is entitled to those credit beneath laws, which have been lately finalized in October however are efficient as of January 2023. And the credit are successfully to incentivize home manufacturing and manufacturing within the United States, which incorporates the manufacturing of power storage and batteries. So based mostly on the laws and what the enterprise naturally does in our present manufacturing ranges, we count on the annual profit for the enterprise to be related. And that may be a view we’ve taken in, in, in fact, session with our advisers.

Gary Ho: Okay. And then Anuj whereas I’ve you, I don’t need to put you on the spot on Clarios however you retain that with an extra replace quickly remark. Maybe your ideas on how your group is considering the present IPO setting, particularly now with the U.S. election behind us. Is maybe a twin itemizing a consideration for that asset?

Anuj Ranjan: We’re conserving all choices open with Clarios. But as you understand, we’ve had a — we’re course of operating for a while. It’s really been fairly strong. And what I can say proper now could be that we’re very inspired by the conversations we’re having with numerous events. So we must always have an extra replace, hopefully quickly.

Gary Ho: Okay. Thank you. And then possibly simply final query on Altera. So it sounds such as you bought the tanker enterprise. Can you give us possibly some perspective on what this represents as a complete and by way of form of what’s left of Altera, how a lot debt is left? I mainly bear in mind there’s some form of lease construction, unsure if that’s in your proportionate debt quantity. And then by way of the stub, possibly simply stroll us by means of form of how we must always take into consideration that?

Jaspreet Dehl: Gary, it’s Jaspreet. I’ll take that. So the shuttle tanker enterprise from an EBITDA perspective is about half of the enterprise. So we’re promoting about half of the enterprise, and we’ll get again about a little bit bit lower than half of our invested capital in Altera. And then we’re going to proceed to carry the FPSO enterprise, which is the most important half of what’s going to stay. And in that enterprise, there’s the vessels which we’ve talked about earlier than, the seven vessels, however the Knarr and the Voyageur are two that we talked about earlier than which have long-term contracts. And then along with the FPSO, there’s additionally another non-core belongings throughout the enterprise that we hope we will monetize. So I’d say we’re fairly inspired simply by the business dynamics.

We ran a course of, fairly a strong course of. There is curiosity within the belongings and that culminated to the sale of the shuttle tanker, however we’re persevering with to take a look at alternatives for the stability of the enterprise. In phrases of debt, on the finish of the quarter, web debt at Altera was a little bit bit shy of $600 million at our share, I take into consideration $550 million, $575 million. And the general debt throughout the shuttle tanker enterprise is say about half or a little bit bit lower than half of that. So we do suppose that with the stability of the enterprise, we may promote that, repay the debt, and it ought to depart some fairness proceeds.

Gary Ho: Okay, nice. No, thanks for answering the decision on that. Those are my questions.

Operator: Thank you. And our subsequent query comes from the road of Devin Dodge with BMO Capital Markets.

Devin Dodge: Thanks. Good morning. Just questioning should you may speak a bit in regards to the broader setting for monetization. Just with rates of interest coming down, it must be a greater setting for exits, however I used to be simply attempting to get a way for the way that is evolving, each by way of the sectors or kinds of belongings the place you’re seeing curiosity, but additionally the kinds of consumers which are coming ahead.

Jaspreet Dehl: Sure. Devin, I can begin, after which I’ll let Anuj remark. So I’d say by way of form of the general monetization setting, like issues are trying fairly optimistic, I’d say simply typically. The M&A setting appears to be much more strong. The credit score markets have been open for some time, however a lot of the credit score market exercise we’ve seen this 12 months has been form of refinancings and repricings. The M&A market has been mild but it surely does really feel like there’s much more exercise. And we will see that broadly available in the market, but additionally in our personal pipeline, much more of our offers appear extra actionable and are transferring ahead faster, I’d say, than we’ve seen over the past 12 to 18 months. The IPO markets appear form of a little bit bit extra secure as effectively.

We’ve seen various IPOs available in the market. I’d say with the U.S. election behind us and the speed reduce that we noticed on Thursday, it units up the market fairly effectively for extra M&A exercise and particularly monetization. So we’re fairly inspired. The Altera course of, that was the second a part of your query round the place we’re seeing curiosity. Like I mentioned, the IPO markets are — appear to be coming again and appear to be strong. Rates appear to be taking place, which shall be constructive. The Altera sale, the shuttle tanker companies for — to a strategic, and we’ve talked about this earlier than, that’s our most well-liked form of exit although we’ve bought the potential to monetize in numerous methods. So it does really feel like on all fronts, the monetization and the overall M&A market is beginning to come again fairly sturdy.

Devin Dodge: Okay. Good colour. And then second query, Scientific Games, Jaspreet, I believe you talked about this a bit in your open feedback. But simply questioning should you may present a bit extra colour on the headwinds that you just noticed within the quarter, like should you count on these to persist? And there was point out of some industrial wins there. Just questioning should you’re capable of scale the potential upside for us.

Adrian Letts: So I’ll begin. It’s Adrian talking. So look, by way of U.S. retail gross sales, there have been some softness. Some of that was to do with the notably elevated ranges that we noticed final 12 months by way of jackpot sizes, which we predict encourages shopping for on the retail shops. In phrases of the wins, you’re completely proper. There was two. There’s a brand new iLottery contract in Delaware after which there’s a methods and know-how contract in Ohio. But I’ll hand over to Jaspreet by way of the worth that we anticipate from that.

Jaspreet Dehl: Yes. Maybe the one factor I’d add — a few factors I’d add is there was softness within the quarter, however the group is doing a extremely good job on form of operational enhancements, managing prices. So they’re executing on that. And on an annualized foundation, we haven’t seen the total advantage of that. So we do suppose that the enterprise is sort of effectively arrange there. Also on the highest line, we’ve talked about this earlier than. Over the final 12 months, they’ve received various contracts. But it does take time to onboard the brand new contracts once you win one. And so it takes a little bit little bit of time to onboard and get the income flowing. So we received the U.Okay. lottery contract final 12 months. We’re not seeing the total advantage of that in our revenues but, the Ohio and Delaware contracts in addition to various others that the enterprise has received.

I believe they’re going to start out — a few of them will begin producing income and money flows for us subsequent 12 months, and a few of them would be the 12 months after. But I’d say should you step again, we’re seeing sturdy progress within the enterprise by means of the brand new industrial wins and thru the associated fee optimization initiatives. So on a run price foundation, we predict this enterprise remains to be going to generate form of sturdy EBITDA and money flows form of consistent with the underwriting once we purchased the enterprise.

Devin Dodge: Okay, thanks for that good abstract. I’ll flip it over. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Our subsequent query comes from the road of Robert Kwan with RBC Capital Markets.

Robert Kwan: Great. Good morning. If I can simply — again on the Brookfield Asset Management name, there was an outline round simply this transaction setting being a robust marketplace for each shopping for belongings and promoting belongings. Although a few of these feedback appear to be a little bit bit extra skewed to a secure companies. So are you able to simply discuss although the way you’re seeing like your commentary particular to BBU’s technique and the companies you personal?

Anuj Ranjan: Why don’t I begin and simply taking up from what Jaspreet simply mentioned, I’d say the market setting is sort of enabling proper now for transaction exercise. And it’s round secure companies, which is similar to what we purchase and what we personal in BBU. So companies that generate sustainable recurring money circulate and have a superb progress profile in entrance of them. Obviously, financing is obtainable, which helps dramatically. And as charges come off, we must always see transaction exercise proceed to tick up. But the opposite factor that we’ve seen is within the 10 companies we’ve bought over the past 18-months, strategic bid what Jaspreet referenced is totally, which is true is again. And strategics are shopping for good companies that, once more, generate money circulate that they need to personal.

And in a lot of our gross sales processes, whether or not it’s Altera, whether or not it’s Greenergy, together with a number of the ones that we have now going proper now, we have now seen important strategic curiosity. And that’s been very encouraging for the companies we personal. At the identical time, the expansion alternatives are additionally fairly thrilling. And I’d say that there’s — we, as a Brookfield, as a broader Brookfield after which the personal fairness group have been investments and making acquisitions and for BBU, once more, based mostly on our capital priorities, we’ll at all times have a balanced method, and we’ll presumably have a look at new investments as effectively.

Robert Kwan: That’s nice. I suppose simply on the brand new funding facet of issues, you famous the elevated involvement from strategics. And then once you pair that along with your commentary that your most up-to-date investments have typically been greater high quality than those you’ve been promoting, does that then change within the cycle? Do you suppose there could also be higher alternatives for belongings or companies that want just a bit bit extra work? Or would you count on to proceed to focus on the upper high quality companies?

Anuj Ranjan: So we’ve at all times — it’s an amazing query. Look, we’ve at all times prioritized higher-quality companies or companies with the potential to be very prime quality. But the place there’s a worth creation element that we will ship, that’s normally form of fairly distinctive to us or whether or not there’s a state of affairs across the enterprise that causes some complexity for why we predict we will purchase for worth. Network was an amazing instance of that being listed in London however proudly owning a number one Middle Eastern funds supplier, it simply wasn’t getting the precise worth therapy for the standard of enterprise it was. And the truth that we personal the quantity two participant that Adrian talked about, Magnati, gave us an enormous worth creation potential that nobody else had. So it’s not that we’re not shopping for very high-quality companies. We’re simply shopping for them the place they’re undeservingly unloved and we’re capable of do one thing with the enterprise that in all probability no one else can.

Robert Kwan: Okay that’s nice, respect the colour, thanks.

Operator: Thank you. And our subsequent query comes from the road of Dimitry with Veritas.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Yes. Hi. And thanks lots for taking my query. So on highway gas operation, are you able to please remind us how a lot EBITDA within the EFO did it contribute on a quarterly foundation?

Jaspreet Dehl: Dimitry, we don’t escape the EBITDA within the EFO e-book [Technical Difficulty] individually. But it’s not — it hasn’t been a significant EBITDA contribution from our Business Services section.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Okay. And then on the $350 million of proceeds from distributions and introduced monetization, I’m wondering should you can break it down by parts, so distribution versus the monetizations?

Jaspreet Dehl: Sure. I can possibly touch upon a number of the bigger items of it. So the most important piece is the money that can are available from the sale of Altera, in order that’s about $265 million. It consists of the proceeds from the sale of Greenergy that we obtained, in addition to ongoing distributions from a few of our companies, the most important of which is Sagen.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: And so now on this distributions from Sagen, they don’t seem to be included in EFO. Are they?

Jaspreet Dehl: In EFO, it consists of form of EBITDA much less the money curiosity and money taxes. So it’s a proxy for, let’s say, free money circulate within the enterprise, and there’s not lots of upkeep CapEx at Sagen. But I’d say it’s not a direct correlation, but it surely’s a superb proxy. I’d say on full cycle run price foundation, Sagen ought to generate CAD500 million to CAD600 million of free money circulate, and we personal 41% in BBU.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Right. Yes. So I’m simply attempting to grasp the distinction between distributions from Sagen, which I believe, as you alluded, they’re if you’ll, not a part of the EFO since you simply decide up your share of EFO from Sagen once you report outcomes, however then, for instance, there was up-financing at [One Toronto] (ph) and that was included in EFO. So I’m simply attempting to grasp the distinction.

Jaspreet Dehl: So the EFO of Sagen is a proxy for the way a lot money the enterprise is producing. So we’re — like that’s the money era within the enterprise and the enterprise does form of a dividend distribution from that money. So versus One Toronto, which was a dividend recap, and in that occasion, the dividend revenue that got here into us, we recorded One Toronto as an equity-accounted funding. I’m comfortable to undergo the numbers intimately with you off-line if that’s…

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Awesome. Yes. Okay. Perfect. That shall be nice. And then sorry, I simply didn’t catch in your remarks associated to $350 million in proceeds within the distributions. You talked about $165 million. What was that associated to?

Jaspreet Dehl: That quantity is form of our complete forecasted. It consists of the forecasted distribution. So $265 million of that’s Altera proceeds that we’re going to get in. And then it consists of the Greenergy after which different distributions, Sagen…

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Right. Okay. Awesome. And then on Altera, the sale of the shuttle tanker section. So the — as you precisely identified $265 million of proceeds, is that proceeds to fairness web of any debt repayments or these are your gross share of proceeds?

Jaspreet Dehl: It’s web. It’s the online money that can come as much as BBU on fairness.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Okay. Understood. And based mostly in your earlier feedback on the query that was requested earlier, I believe you instructed that roughly half of the $800 million price of fairness at your share, invested in Altera, that pertains to the shuttle tanker enterprise. Did I catch it right? Or there was nuances there?

Jaspreet Dehl: So it’s a little bit bit lower than half that we are going to notice as soon as the shuttle tanker proceeds are in. So there’s — we’ve gotten some curiosity revenue from the enterprise alongside the best way. Just curiosity money distributions on a few of our funding in Altera and then you definitely add to that the $265 million that can are available from the shuttle tanker. And it’ll give us again a little bit bit lower than half of the capital.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Okay. Because if I examine the $265 million in web fairness proceeds versus the $400 million funding — invested, that may suggest primarily a loss, financial loss on the disposition.

Jaspreet Dehl: So I’m unsure — are you able to say that once more?

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Yes. So should you invested $400 million in fairness primarily, give or take, within the shuttle enterprise and examine that to proceeds of $265 million you obtained on sale, then wouldn’t that suggest an financial loss on sale?

Jaspreet Dehl: So it’s not — I don’t suppose you possibly can take form of the $800 million that we invested in Altera and simply divide it by two as a result of the entire funding in Altera was for the entire enterprise. The manner we’re it’s our complete capital within the enterprise is about $800 million. At this level, with the $265 million of proceeds we’ll get from the shuttle tanker enterprise, the curiosity money that we’ve gotten alongside the best way on our holdings will give us again a little bit bit lower than half of that $800 million. And then we’ll proceed to carry about half — the enterprise that’s producing about half of the EBITDA, which is the FPSO and the FSO, in addition to an lodging unit. So there’s nonetheless fairly a little bit of unrealized worth within the enterprise that we’re going to work to unlock.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Okay, superior. And then on the CDK, did you present any reductions versus the prior contracted worth to the 2 North American publicly traded dealerships that you just renewed the contracts with?

Jaspreet Dehl: So look, we’re having reside negotiations with all of our clients on contracts, and there’s at all times some give and take. We can’t particularly converse to anyone contractor or what particular reductions we would have given to at least one explicit — to explicit clients. But I’d say, typically, the contracts that we’ve been signing have been form of at cheap margins that we might count on the enterprise to form of generate on new contracts.

Operator: Thank you. And I’m displaying no additional questions. So with that, I’ll hand the decision again over to CEO, Anuj Ranjan, for closing remarks.

Anuj Ranjan: Thank you, everybody, and I look ahead to seeing you on the subsequent quarter.

Operator: Ladies and gents, thanks for collaborating. This concludes right now’s program, and it’s possible you’ll now disconnect.
