Business Context and Reporting Period
Company: Brookfield Oaktree Holdings, LLC (BOH)
Filing Type: Form 10-Q (Unaudited)
Period Ended: June 30, 2025
Business Overview: BOH holds Credit, Real Estate, and Equity investments managed by Oaktree Capital Management and Brookfield Asset Management. The company's structure was significantly altered by a "2024 Restructuring" effective July 1, 2024, which resulted in the deconsolidation of Oaktree Capital I, L.P. (Oaktree Capital I). Consequently, BOH now accounts for its approximately 74% economic interest in Oaktree Capital I using the equity method rather than consolidation. The company continues to consolidate specific vehicles related to Oaktree Opportunities Fund XI and XII.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased to $264.5 million from $410.1 million in the prior year period. This is primarily due to the cessation of incentive income recognition following the deconsolidation of Oaktree Capital I.
- Net Income Drop: Net income attributable to Class A unitholders plummeted 97.5% year-over-year to $2.9 million (from $114.8 million). The decline is driven by significant unrealized investment losses, particularly in Oaktree Opportunities Fund XI (Opps XI), and the structural change in revenue recognition.
- Unrealized Losses: The company recorded a net change in unrealized depreciation of $140.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to an appreciation of $95.2 million in the prior year. This shift is largely attributed to performance in Opps XI.
- Debt Reduction: Debt obligations of consolidated funds decreased to $998.1 million from $1.47 billion at the end of 2024, reflecting repayments and the deconsolidation of certain funds previously held by Oaktree Capital I.
- Expense Structure: Incentive income compensation expense is now $0, as the company no longer earns incentive income directly. General and administrative expenses decreased slightly due to the deconsolidation of Oaktree Capital I.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Restructuring Impact: The 2024 Restructuring fundamentally changed the company's financial reporting. BOH no longer consolidates Oaktree Capital I or its associated funds/CLOs. Instead, it records its share of Oaktree Capital I's results as investment income. This eliminates direct incentive income and related compensation expenses from the top line.
- Liquidity: The company maintains $15.2 million in cash on an unconsolidated basis. Liquidity is supported by distributions from corporate investments (including Oaktree Capital I) and capital contributions from the sole Class A unitholder to fund commitments.
- Capital Commitments:
- Opps XI: $750 million total commitment; $637.5 million funded as of June 30, 2025.
- Opps XII: $796.2 million total commitment; $218.9 million funded as of June 30, 2025.
- Risks: Key risks include the volatility of alternative asset markets, the performance of consolidated funds (specifically Opps XI and XII), interest rate fluctuations affecting variable-rate debt, and the ability to raise new capital. The company notes that a 10% decline in market values of consolidated fund investments would result in a $466.3 million decrease in unrealized appreciation.
- Forward-Looking Statements: The filing contains standard forward-looking statements regarding future results, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the 2024 Restructuring Impact: Confirm understanding that the drop in revenue and net income is structural (deconsolidation of Oaktree Capital I) rather than purely operational failure, though investment performance (Opps XI) also contributed significantly to losses.
- Review Capital Commitment Funding: Assess the company's ability to meet remaining capital calls for Opps XI ($112.5 million undrawn) and Opps XII ($577.3 million undrawn) and the source of these funds (Class A unitholder contributions).
- Monitor Unrealized Losses: Track the performance of consolidated funds, particularly Opps XI, which drove the $140.3 million unrealized depreciation in the first half of 2025.
- Check Distribution Coverage: Compare the $1.58 per unit distribution declared for the six months ended June 30, 2025, against the $0.02 net income per unit to understand the payout ratio and sustainability of distributions given the low earnings.
- Debt Maturity Profile: Review the $998 million in consolidated fund debt obligations and their weighted average remaining maturity (0.68 years) to assess near-term refinancing needs.
