07:33 AM EST, 01/30/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Brookfield Business Partners (BBU-UN.TO) reported Friday that fourth-quarter net loss narrowed.

Net income attributable to unitholders for the quarter was US$4 million, or US$0.48 per limited partnership unit, compared with net loss of US$438 million, or US$2.02 per limited partnership unit in the prior year period.

The company said its advanced energy storage operation benefited from the growing demand of higher margin advanced batteries and strong commercial execution. The improved contribution at its engineered components manufacturer was supported by commercial discipline, despite the impact of weak market conditions and reduced volumes, the company said.

Brookfield expects to declare a quarterly dividend of US$0.0625 per share, payable on March 31. Going forward, it expects to pay an annual dividend of $0.25 per share, consistent with the current distribution and dividend paid on BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares.
