Our business services segment generated Company EBITDA of $61 million, compared to $37 million in the same period last year. Results benefited from improved performance in our construction services business and contribution from our Healthscope acquisition which we closed on June 6.
Our infrastructure services segment generated Company EBITDA of $88 million during the quarter, compared to $41 million in the same period last year. Results benefited from the incremental contribution from Westinghouse which we acquired in August 2018. The company reported strong performance for the quarter.
Our industrials segment generated Company EBITDA of $108 million during the quarter, compared to $118 million in the same period last year. Results benefited from strong performance at North American Palladium, partially offset by reduced contribution from GrafTech as a result of our reduced ownership position. 2019 results included positive contribution from Clarios which we acquired at the end of April, partially offset by higher than normal costs related to the write up of inventory on acquisition. 2018 results included the contribution from our Australian oil and gas operation which was sold in November 2018.

Company FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $435 million compared to $177 million in 2018. The increase in Company FFO was a result of incremental contributions from recent investments, gain on sales of businesses and improved performance of select businesses within our operating segments. Our business services segment Company FFO includes a $297 million after tax gain recorded on the sales of our facilities management and executive relocation businesses, while 2018 second quarter Company FFO included a $46 million after tax gain on the sale of our U.S. brokerage joint venture.
Strategic Initiatives
- Healthscope Limited
In June 2019, together with institutional partners, we closed our acquisition of Healthscope for a total purchase price of approximately $4.1 billion including $1 billion of equity. Brookfield Business Partners’ share of the equity is approximately $295 million for a 28% ownership interest. We may syndicate a portion of this to our institutional partners. The remainder of the purchase price was funded with approximately $1.4 billion in debt financing and $1.7 billion from the sale and leaseback of 22 wholly owned freehold hospital properties. Healthscope is the second largest private hospital operator in Australia and the largest pathology services provider in New Zealand and we plan to enhance its position as a leading private healthcare operator.
- Ouro Verde Locação e Seviços S.A.
Subsequent to quarter end, together with institutional partners, we acquired 100% of Ouro Verde Locação e Seviços S.A. (“Ouro Verde”), a leading Brazilian heavy equipment and light vehicle fleet management company. Our acquisition was made by way of a recapitalization, where we invested $131 million to strengthen Ouro Verde’s balance sheet. Brookfield Business Partners’ share of the investment was $50 million.
- BGRS
In June 2019 we sold our executive relocation business, BGRS. The sale generated net proceeds of approximately $230 million for Brookfield Business Partners.
- BGIS
In May 2019, together with institutional partners, we sold BGIS, our global provider of facilities management services, for approximately $1 billion. Brookfield Business Partners’ share of net proceeds was approximately $170 million.
Capital Position
During the quarter, we issued approximately 20.4 million units for a total of $795 million in gross proceeds through an equity offering and concurrent private placements that closed on June 28, 2019. Subsequent to the quarter end, the underwriters exercised an overallotment option and purchased approximately 1.1 million additional units for additional gross proceeds of approximately $42 million. All proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes including future growth opportunities.
During the quarter we increased our credit facilities to an aggregate of $1.6 billion. These transactions, including funding for closed acquisitions, brought our total liquidity to approximately $2.4 billion, a record level for our business.
Distribution
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.0625 per unit, payable on September 30, 2019 to unitholders of record as at the close of business on August 30, 2019.

Cautionary Statement Regarding the Use of Non-IFRS Measures
This news release contains references to Non-IFRS Measures. When determining Company FFO and Company EBITDA, we include our unitholders’ proportionate share of Company FFO and Company EBITDA for equity accounted investments. Company FFO and Company EBITDA are not generally accepted accounting measures under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions used by other entities. We believe these metrics are useful supplemental measures that may assist investors in assessing the financial performance of Brookfield Business Partners and its subsidiaries. However, Company FFO and Company EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, analysis of our financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.
References to Brookfield Business Partners are to Brookfield Business Partners L.P. together with its subsidiaries, controlled affiliates and operating entities. Brookfield Business Partners’ results include publicly held limited partnership units, redemption-exchange units, general partnership units and special limited partnership units.
