Partners Value Investments Inc. Announces 2016 Second Quarter Results

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 29, 2016) - Partners Value Investments Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PVF) announced today its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Net income for the quarter was $39 million ($0.53 per common share) compared to $2 million ($0.02 per common share) in the prior year quarter. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher level of returns from our investment activity and foreign currency appreciation during the quarter.

The Company's net book value decreased by $1.38 per share to $42.96 per share primarily due to the decrease in the market value our Brookfield investment. The market price of Brookfield's Class A common shares decreased 5% during the quarter to $42.74.

The previously announced capital reorganization was completed and closed on July 4, 2016. Upon closing, all outstanding common and non-voting shares of the Company were exchanged for a combination of equity limited partnership units and preferred limited partnership units, and the common shares of the Company were de-listed. As of July 4, 2016, the Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Partners Value Investments L.P. and will continue to be a reporting issuer.
