The Company recorded net income of $94.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $120.4 million in the prior year quarter.

During the quarter, the Partnership unit price decreased by $1.34 compared to an increase of $1.80 in the prior year quarter.
Excluding retractable share and warrant liability remeasurement gains and dividends paid on retractable shares, Adjusted Earnings for the Company was $28.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to Adjusted Losses of $9.2 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Earnings were higher in the current quarter as a result of foreign currency and investment valuation gains.
