OncoCyte Annual Report 2022

Plain-text annual report

2022 Annual Report CHAIRMAN’S LETTER Dear Shareholder, When Onex was formed in 1984, I could not have anticipated the incredible journey that lay ahead. In the nearly forty years since, and with the support of a remarkable team, we have invested in and helped to build more than one hundred businesses and completed more than 700 add-on acquisitions with a total value surpassing $100 billion. In the 35 full years since our IPO, Onex has generated a compounded annualized total return for shareholders of nearly 13 percent versus 8 percent for the S&P/TSX index. We were able to achieve this result by adhering to our disciplined investment philosophy and maintaining a strong liquidity position to take advantage of market dislocations and opportunities. However, no journey is without its challenges and 2022 was one of them, as the global economy dealt with the after-effects of the pandemic, including broken supply chains, geopolitical conflict and the highest inflation in 40 years. Despite this backdrop, Onex performed relatively well from an operating and performance perspective. Investing capital per share rose 7% and our private equity portfolio increased in value by 3% compared to declines of approximately 18% in the S&P 500 and MSCI World Mid Cap indices. We achieved this outcome by working closely with our portfolio companies on value creation strategies and using our liquidity to repurchase over six million Onex shares trading well below their intrinsic value, thereby providing immediate accretion for shareholders. The Credit team continued to differentiate itself through strong credit underwriting and new products offering compelling risk-adjusted returns. Our Credit business raised approximately $2.1 billion of new fee-generating assets in 2022, beneﬁting from defensive positioning and a growing interest in direct lending and credit solutions. The fundraising environment for Private Equity was more challenging, however, reflecting a crowded and consolidated market. We continue to actively fundraise across our private equity platform and remain focused on delivering operating excellence across the portfolio and attractive returns to our limited partners. In these volatile and uncertain markets, it is even more essential that we continue to create value for our investors, as we have across our history. Our industry specialization and proprietary network remain a source of true differentiation and continued to yield results in 2022. We were also able to achieve attractive returns through monetization, showing there is still market appetite for high-quality investments. Our private wealth business also made strides in 2022, progressing with a major technology upgrade that will further enhance its ﬁrst-rate client service and allow it to grow more efﬁciently with clients and advisors. We also expanded our wealth planning capabilities to deliver an even more compelling value proposition to clients. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 1 The future for alternative assets remains positive. The asset class has provided strong risk-adjusted returns over long periods with relatively low correlation to traditional investments. Moreover, the democratization of this asset class, through investment vehicles created for private clients and individual investors, will open the door to a large new addressable market. With our high-quality and differentiated alternatives platforms, we are positioning ourselves to beneﬁt from continued growth in this space. We made good progress in 2022 but there is much more work to be done. We have plans to scale each of our platforms and deliver proﬁtable growth. The next few years will be pivotal as we execute this strategic growth plan and continue to deliver the value our shareholders have come to expect. We have set the course; now it is crucial to have the right leadership team to execute the plan. I am therefore pleased that the Board of Directors has supported the appointment of Bobby Le Blanc as Chief Executive Ofﬁcer, following approval of the related proposal at our annual meeting of shareholders in May. Bobby has shown exemplary leadership over his 23 years with the firm and is ideally suited to guide Onex in its next phase of growth while providing for a smooth transition. I am conﬁdent in our ability to continue to build “One Onex” and to drive value over the long term for all our stakeholders. From all of us at Onex, thank you for your continued support. [signed] Gerald W. Schwartz Chairman and Chief Executive Ofﬁcer 2 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Throughout this MD&A, all amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Formed in 1984, we have a long track record of creating value for our clients and shareholders. Onex became a public company in 1987 and is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol ONEX. Onex’ two primary businesses are Private Equity and Credit. In Private Equity, we raise funds from third-party investors, or limited partners, and invest them, along with our own investing capital, through the funds of our private equity platforms: Onex Partners and ONCAP. Similarly, in Credit, we raise and invest capital across several private credit, liquid credit and public equity strategies. Our investors include a broad range of global clients, including public and private pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies and family ofﬁces. In addition, through our private wealth platform, we service high net worth clients in Canada. Onex has $50.8 billion in assets under management (“AUM”)(1), of which $34.1 billion is fee-generating(1) and $7.9 billion is Onex’ own investing capital ($96.95 or C$131.31 per fully diluted share). We generate value for our shareholders through two segments: Investing and Asset Management. Our Investing segment includes gains on our invested capital. Our Asset Management segment generates revenues from the recurring fees clients pay us to manage their capital, and also includes carried interest from our private equity and private credit funds. Our Team and Commitment Onex is led by the ﬁrm’s founder and CEO, Gerry Schwartz, and our President, Bobby Le Blanc, as well as experi- enced leaders at each of our businesses. We have over 180 investment professionals across all platforms, supported by over 285 professionals dedicated to our corporate functions and investment platforms, including our institu- tional and high net worth relationship professionals. Consistent with our One Onex approach, the teams share and leverage sector expertise, and sourcing and origination opportunities across all business lines. Our culture is guided by our strong commitment to accountability, intellectual honesty and respect for all our part- ners and stakeholders. Onex was formed on principles of entrepreneurialism and responsible investing and our team is united in recognizing the value of collaboration, diversity of perspective and background, and an inclusive environment. Our team is a critical factor in our success and attracting and retaining the best people and strongest investors are an important competitive advantage. Also crucial to our long-term success is the alignment of interests between the Onex management team, share- holders and clients. Members of our management team have a signiﬁcant long-term ownership in Onex shares and invest meaningfully in our funds. We believe this alignment creates stronger relationships with both clients and shareholders. (1) Refer to the glossary in this MD&A for further details concerning the composition of AUM and fee-generating AUM. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 5 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISEnvironmental, Social and Governance Consistent with our long-held belief that responsible investing is both the right approach to investing, as well as a driver of meaningful stakeholder value, we continue to enhance our environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) program. Recent initiatives include efforts to measure carbon emissions across our investment platforms and to collect other ESG metrics in our private equity funds. Two of our private equity funds and one of our private credit funds are classified as Article 8 funds under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. We have also measured the Scope 1, Scope 2 and select Scope 3 emissions associated with Onex’ own operations and purchased verified offsets in respect of them. We expect our program to continue to expand in line with this rapidly evolving area, while remaining rooted in our founding principle of responsible investing. PRIVATE EQUITY Onex has $24.9 billion of private equity assets under management, of which $10.4 billion is fee-generating and $6.1 billion is Onex’ own investing capital. Private equity investments are primarily made through Onex’ two main platforms: Onex Partners for middle- market and larger transactions and ONCAP for middle-market and smaller transactions. Onex’ private equity funds acquire and build high-quality businesses in partnership with talented management teams and focus on execution theses rather than macroeconomic trends. Each platform follows a disciplined investment process with vertical specialization where the team has considerable industry expertise, a long track record of success and strong network of relationships. This in turn enables the teams to take a targeted approach with investment opportunities, creates a competitive informational advantage and helps shape their go-to-market strategy. Onex has raised nine private equity funds to date and is currently fundraising for Onex Partners VI, which com- pleted its ﬁrst close in November 2022, and ONCAP V, which completed its ﬁrst close in December 2022. The ﬁrm is currently investing through Onex Partners V, a $7.15 billion fund, and ONCAP IV, a $1.1 billion fund. Since incep- tion, Onex has generated a Gross MOC(1) of 2.5 times and a 27% Gross IRR(1) on realized, substantially realized and publicly traded investments. For more information on the historical performance of Onex private equity funds, please refer to Onex’ Q4 2022 supplemental information package on Onex’ website, www.onex.com. Onex earns management fees from limited partners during the fee period of each fund. During the initial fee period, Onex is entitled to a management fee based on limited partners’ committed capital. Once a fund is either fully invested or a successor fund starts calling fees, Onex is entitled to a management fee based on limited part- ners’ net funded commitments. These fees are included as revenue in our asset management segment. At Decem- ber 31, 2022, the run-rate management fees(1) from our private equity business are $110 million. (1) Refer to the glossary in this MD&A for further details concerning the composition of Gross MOC, Gross IRR and run-rate management fees. 6 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISOnex is entitled to receive carried interest based on the performance of each private equity fund. Carried interest in Onex’ private equity funds is typically calculated as 20% of the realized net gains of the limited partners in each fund, provided the limited partners have achieved a minimum 8% net IRR on their investment. Onex is entitled to 40% of the carried interest realized from limited partners in its private equity funds, while Onex Partners and ONCAP management are entitled to the remaining 60%. Onex’ share of realized carried interest is included in distributable earnings of our asset management segment. Currently, we have $10.4 billion of private equity assets under management eligible for carried interest. As at December 31, 2022, Onex’ share of unrealized carried inter- est from private equity totalled $265 million. The amount of carried interest ultimately received by Onex is based on realizations, the timing of which can vary signiﬁcantly from year to year. Onex is one of the largest investors in each of its private equity funds and, therefore, Onex shareholders also beneﬁt from investing gains. Mark-to-market gains (losses) on corporate investments are recognized within Onex’ investing segment results, whereas realized gains (losses) since inception on investments are included in distributable earnings. CREDIT Our Credit business includes a broad spectrum of private credit, liquid credit and public equity investing strat- egies that are managed by the Onex Credit team. Credit has $25.9 billion in assets under management, of which $23.8 billion is fee-generating and $717 million is Onex’ own investing capital. The Credit team has a successful track record of executing a disciplined approach to investing with a focus on capital preservation and strong risk-adjusted returns through cycles. The platform practises value-oriented investing, employing a rigorous bottom-up, fundamental and structural analysis of the underlying borrowers, coupled with active portfolio man- agement, to continually seek to optimize portfolio positioning. Credit’s sourcing capabilities and data intelligence help to better inform investment decisions and dynamically manage portfolios in varying market conditions. Onex earns management fees on its Credit strategies, with the fee varying depending on the strategy. The weighted average annual management fee for Credit’s fee-generating AUM at December 31, 2022 is 0.6%. As at Decem- ber 31, 2022, the run-rate management fees from our Credit business were $148 million. Onex is also entitled to earn performance fees on $2.2 billion of Credit assets under management. Performance fees range between 10% and 20% of net gains and may be subject to performance hurdles. Onex has $15.5 billion of assets under management from Credit which are eligible for carried interest, including $12.5 billion of CLOs. In most cases, Onex receives 50% of the carried interest realized in its private credit strate- gies, while the Credit management team is allocated the remaining 50%. Carried interest ranges between 12.5% and 20% of net gains and is generally subject to a hurdle or minimum preferred return to investors. Carried inter- est from our Credit strategies is generally realized near the ﬁnal realizations for each fund. As at December 31, 2022, Onex’ share of unrealized carried interest in the Credit Funds totalled $16 million. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 7 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS2022 RESULTS & ACTIVITY FINANCIAL RESULTS Onex’ ﬁnancial results during the three months and years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows: ($ millions except per share amounts) Net earnings Net earnings per diluted share Investing segment net earnings Asset management segment net earnings (loss) Total segment net earnings (1) Total segment net earnings per fully diluted share (2) Asset management fee-related earnings (loss) (3) Total fee-related earnings (loss) (4) Distributable earnings (5) ($ millions except per share amounts) Investing capital (U.S. dollars) Investing capital per share (U.S. dollars) (7) Investing capital per share (Canadian dollars) (7) Three Months Ended Year Ended December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 $ 435 $ 5.32 $ 375 117 $ 492 $ 5.94 $ $ $ (1) (4) 67 $ 214 $ 2.45 $ 235 $ 2.77 $ 1,405 $ 15.76 $ 291 $ 117 $ 1,469 30 $ 321 $ 3.55 $ $ $ (5) (14) 126 (28) $ 89 $ 1.03 $ $ $ (12) (44) 308 220 $ 1,689 $ 18.42 $ $ $ 8 (28) 708 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Change(6) $ $ 7,863 96.95 $ 131.31 $ 8,212 $ 90.75 $ 115.05 7% 14% (1) Refer to pages 27 and 28 of this MD&A for the reconciliation of total segment net earnings to net earnings. (2) Refer to the glossary of this MD&A for further details concerning the composition of fully diluted shares. (3) Asset management fee-related earnings (loss) excludes public company expenses and other expenses associated with managing Onex’ investing capital and is a component of total fee-related earnings (loss), as outlined on page 15 of this MD&A. (4) Total fee-related earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS. Therefore, it may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. Onex management believes that fee-related earnings (loss) provides investors with useful information concerning the profitability of Onex’ asset management business. Fee-related earnings (loss) excludes realization-driven carried interest, which can be less predictable and recurring due to the long-term nature of Onex’ private equity and private credit funds. The most directly comparable financial measure under IFRS to fee-related earnings (loss) is Onex’ net earnings. Refer to the glossary and pages 15 and 17 of this MD&A for further details concerning fee-related earnings (loss), including a reconciliation to net earnings. (5) Distributable earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS. Therefore, it may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. Onex management believes that distributable earnings provides investors with useful information concerning the Company’s ability to redeploy capital in its business and/or return capital to shareholders. Distributable earnings consists of the recurring fee-related earnings (loss), net realized gains from Onex’ investments and the receipt of carried interest from Onex’ private equity and private credit funds. The most directly comparable financial measure under IFRS to distributable earnings is Onex’ net earnings. Refer to the glossary and pages 16 and 17 of this MD&A for further details concerning distributable earnings, including a reconciliation to net earnings. (6) Change for the period is adjusted to exclude the impact of capital deployed in the asset management segment, where applicable, and dividends paid. (7) Refer to the glossary of this MD&A for further details concerning the composition of investing capital per share. 8 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISINVESTING SEGMENT RESULTS During the three months ended December 31, 2022, Onex’ investing segment generated net earnings of $375 mil- lion ($4.54 per fully diluted share) (2021 – $291 million ($3.21 per fully diluted share)), which was primarily driven by a $368 million net gain from private equity, as described on page 30 of this MD&A. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Onex’ investing segment generated net earnings of $117 million ($1.37 per fully diluted share) (2021 – $1.5 billion ($16.00 per fully diluted share)), which was primarily driven by a $172 million net gain from private equity, partially offset by a $40 million net loss from private credit strategies, as described on pages 30 and 31 of this MD&A. Onex’ investing results contributed to its investing capital of $7.9 billion at December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 – $8.2 billion), which was $96.95 or C$131.31 per fully diluted share (December 31, 2021 – $90.75 or C$115.05), an increase of 7%(1) for the year ended December 31, 2022. At December 31, 2022, Onex’ investing capital was primarily invested in or committed to its private equity and private credit platforms.

Onex also invested a total of $137 million in private equity during the fourth quarter of 2022, consisting primarily of the investment in Unanet. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, Onex’ private equity investments generated real- ized gains of $33 million and $242 million, respectively, which are included in Onex’ distributable earnings as presented on page 16 of this MD&A. Private Equity – Investment Performance During the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, Onex’ investing segment recognized net gains from private equity investments of $368 million and $172 million, respectively. During 2022, the fair values of Onex’ pri- vate equity investments were impacted by macroeconomic and market factors, including broad increases in global interest rates and inflation, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and changes in trading multiples for public com- panies, which were offset by improved business performance or improved projected performance in certain oper- ating companies. Included in Onex’ net gains on corporate investments during the year ended December 31, 2022 is a foreign exchange mark-to-market loss of $92 million in respect of private equity investments denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar (three months ended December 31, 2022 – mark-to-market gains of $43 million). At December 31, 2022, Onex’ private equity investments denominated in Canadian dollars and pounds sterling totalled $603 million (C$817 million) and $414 million (£344 million), respectively. The operating businesses in Onex’ private equity platforms operate across a broad range of countries and industry segments, providing beneﬁcial diversiﬁcation. Refer to pages 42, 43 and 44 of this MD&A for further details. The following table presents the recent gross performance of Onex’ private equity investments: Gross performance of Onex’ private equity investments in U.S. dollars (i)(ii): Onex Partners ONCAP Direct investments Total private equity investments Three Months Ended Years Ended December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 8% 1% 8% 7% 3% 12% 18% 5% 0% 27% 3% 3% 23% 33% 83% 32% (i) The increase in value of Onex’ private equity investments is a non-GAAP ratio calculated using methodologies that are not in accordance with IFRS. The presentation of these ratios does not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other companies. The net gains (losses) used to calculate the gross performance of Onex’ private equity investments are gross of management incentive programs. Onex management believes that the gross performance of Onex’ private equity investments provides helpful information to investors in assessing the performance of Onex’ investments in private equity strategies. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, Onex recognized net gains on corporate investments of $494 million and $130 million, respectively (2021 – $317 million and $1.7 billion, respectively).

Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 11 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISCredit – Capital Deployment and Realizations Within Credit, Onex invests in private credit strategies and has no investments in public equity strategies. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Onex’ investments in Credit generated net realizations of $64 million, as out- lined in the following table: Year ended December 31, 2022 Structured Credit Strategies U.S. CLOs EURO CLOs CLO warehouses Other structured strategies Liquid Strategies Opportunistic Credit Strategies Direct Lending Total net realizations from Credit Strategies Net Realizations (Investments) ($ millions) $ 45 20 11 (7) (2) (32) 29 $ 64 During the year ended December 31, 2022, Onex’ net investments in CLOs decreased by $65 million as a result of regular quarterly distributions and the sale of a portion of Onex’ equity interest in certain U.S. CLOs, partially offset by investments in new CLOs, including its twenty-fourth and twenty-ﬁfth CLOs denominated in U.S. dollars (“CLO-24” and “CLO-25”, respectively). During 2022, Onex committed an additional $100 million to the Onex Capital Solutions Fund, as described on page 54 of this MD&A, resulting in additional capital deployed in Opportunistic Credit Strategies. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, Onex’ investments in Credit strategies generated $22 million and $61 million of realized gains, respectively, which are included in Onex’ distributable earnings, as presented on page 16 of this MD&A. 12 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISCredit – Investment Performance During the three months ended December 31, 2022, Onex had a net gain of $7 million on its Credit investments, representing a gain of 1%(1). This net gain was primarily driven by an increase in fair value of Onex’ CLO invest- ments, consistent with a strengthening in the leveraged loan market (Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index – increase of 2%) and structural leverage employed in CLOs. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Onex had a net loss of $40 million on its Credit investments, representing a loss of 5%(1). This net loss was primarily driven by a decrease in fair value of Onex’ CLO invest- ments, consistent with a weakening in the leveraged loan market (Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index – decrease of 1%) and structural leverage employed in CLOs. ASSET MANAGEMENT SEGMENT RESULTS For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, Onex’ asset management segment had net earnings of $117 million and a net loss of $28 million, respectively, compared to net earnings of $30 million and $220 million during the same periods in 2021. The asset management segment net earnings during the three months ended December 31, 2022 were primarily driven by an increase in unrealized carried interest from Onex Partners IV. The asset management segment net loss during the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily driven by lower net gains from unrealized carried interest, as described on page 16 of this MD&A. Assets Under Management At December 31, 2022, Onex managed $41.4 billion (December 31, 2021 – $40.0 billion) of invested and committed capital on behalf of institutional investors and high net worth clients from around the world, including fee-gener- ating assets under management (“FG AUM”) of $34.1 billion (December 31, 2021 – $33.0 billion). Onex’ FG AUM increased by 3% since December 31, 2021, and includes approximately $1.8 billion of third-party capital raised during 2022 for private credit strategies. Assets under management by business line included the following: ($ millions) Fee-Generating Assets Under Management(i) Subject to Carried Interest or Performance Fees December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 Change in Total December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 Change in Total Credit Private Equity Total $ 23,756 $ 22,803 10,376 10,205 $ 34,132 $ 33,008 4% 2% 3% $ 17,698 $ 16,070 10,376 10,205 $ 28,074 $ 26,275 10% 2% 7% (i) Assets under management include co-investments and capital invested by the Onex management team, as applicable.

Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 13 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISOnex’ $34.1 billion of FG AUM at December 31, 2022 Onex’ $33.0 billion of FG AUM at December 31, 2021 Liquid Credit and Public Strategies 18% Liquid Credit and Public Strategies 20% Private Credit 52% Private Credit 49% Private Equity 30% Private Equity 31% Onex’ FG AUM at December 31, 2022 comprised $28.5 billion from institutional investors (December 31, 2021 – $26.8 billion) and $5.6 billion from high net worth clients (December 31, 2021 – $6.2 billion). Onex’ FG AUM from private wealth clients is primarily invested in securities which are denominated in Canadian dollars. Run-rate management fees from Onex’ FG AUM at December 31, 2022 are $258 million, consisting of $110 million from Private Equity and $148 million from Credit. Over the past ﬁve years, FG AUM has increased at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 9%, which includes the FG AUM of Onex Falcon and Gluskin Sheff, which were acquired in December 2020 and June 2019, respectively. FG AUM, excluding acquired capital, has increased at a CAGR of 2% over the same period.

Realizations in the post-initial- fee-period private equity funds contributed to the lower management fees. The increase in Private Equity compensation expense and decrease in Private Equity support and other net expenses during the year were partly due to the classiﬁcation of certain costs for ﬁscal 2022. The launch of Onex Transportation Partners during 2022 also contributed to higher expenses for Private Equity. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 15 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISDuring the three months ended December 31, 2022, Private Equity and Public Company expenses were lower, primarily driven by a reduction in incentive compensation accrued during the ﬁrst three quarters of 2022. Distributable Earnings During the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, Onex generated distributable earnings of $67 mil- lion and $308 million, respectively (2021 – $126 million and $708 million, respectively). ($ millions) Fee-related earnings (loss) Realized carried interest Realized net gain on investments Distributable earnings Three Months Ended Year Ended December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 $ (4) $ (14) $ (44) $ (28) 8 63 67 $ 28 112 22 330 48 688 $ 126 $ 308 $ 708 Distributable earnings during the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 were primarily driven by CLO distributions (page 12 of this MD&A), realizations from Onex’ private equity investments (page 10 of this MD&A), and realized carried interest from Onex’ private equity investments (page 10 of this MD&A). The year-over-year decrease in quarterly distributable earnings reflects signiﬁcant realizations in 2021 from ONCAP III. The year- over-year decrease in annual distributable earnings reflects signiﬁcant realizations during 2021 from the Onex Partners III, Onex Partners IV and ONCAP III Funds, and the initial public offering of RSG. Carried Interest At December 31, 2022, unrealized carried interest totalled $281 million (December 31, 2021 – $287 million) and AUM subject to carried interest totalled $25.9 billion (December 31, 2021 – $24.1 billion).

The $570 million decrease in cash and near- cash was primarily driven by net investments made in Private Equity as described on page 10 of this MD&A, $321 million used to repurchase Onex’ SVS and $26 million returned to shareholders through dividends. Today, Onex has unfunded commitments totalling approximately $2.1 billion to Onex Partners VI, ONCAP V and to private equity funds that are actively investing. Onex also has approximately $240 million of unfunded commitments to private credit funds. (1) Cash and near-cash is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated using methodologies that are not in accordance with IFRS. The presentation of this measure does not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other companies. Onex management believes that cash and near-cash provides helpful information to investors to assess how the Company is managing its capital. Refer to page 36 of this MD&A for further details concerning cash and near-cash items. 18 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISFINANCIAL REVIEW This section discusses the significant changes in Onex’ consolidated statement of earnings, consoli- dated balance sheet and consolidated statement of cash flows for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 compared to those for the year ended December 31, 2021 and, in selected areas, to those for the year ended December 31, 2020. In simple terms, Onex is an investor and asset manager. Invest ments and investing activity refer to the investment of Onex’ investing capital primarily in its private equity funds, credit strategies and certain investments held outside the pri- vate equity funds and private credit strategies. These invest- ments are held directly or indirectly through wholly-owned subsidiaries of Onex, which are referred to as Investment Holding Companies. While there are a number of Invest- ment Holding Companies, these companies primarily con- sist of direct or indirect subsidiaries of Onex Private Equity Holdings LLC, Onex CLO Holdings LLC or Onex Credit Hold- ings LLC. These three companies, which are referred to as the Primary Investment Holding Companies, are the holding companies for the majority of Onex’ investments, exclud- ing intercompany loans receivable from Onex and the Asset Managers. The Primary Investment Holding Companies were formed in the United States. Asset management refers to the activity of manag- ing capital in Onex’ private equity funds, private credit strat- egies and liquid strategies. This activity is conducted through wholly-owned subsidiaries of Onex, which are the manag- ers of the Onex Partners Funds, ONCAP Funds and Credit strategies. These subsidiaries are referred to as Onex’ Asset Managers and are consolidated by Onex. The Credit plat- form includes a broad spectrum of private credit, liquid credit and public equity strategies that are managed by the Onex Credit team. Users of the consolidated ﬁnancial statements may note detailed line-item disclosures relating to intercompany loans. IFRS requires speciﬁc disclosures and presentation of intercompany loans between Onex and the Asset Managers, and the Investment Holding Companies. Speciﬁcally, IFRS requires that: • intercompany loans payable by Onex and the Asset Man- agers to the Investment Holding Companies are recog- nized as liabilities in Onex’ consolidated balance sheets. A corresponding and offsetting amount is recognized within corporate investments in Onex’ consolidated balance sheets, representing the related loans receivable from Onex and the Asset Managers; and • intercompany loans payable by Investment Holding Com- panies to Onex and the Asset Managers are part of the fair value measurement of Onex’ corporate investments in the consolidated balance sheets, which reduces the fair value of Onex’ corporate investments. Onex classiﬁes the corresponding loans receivable from Investment Holding Companies within corporate investments in its consoli- dated balance sheets, which increases the value of Onex’ corporate investments by the same amount as the related loans payable. There is no impact to net assets or net earnings (loss) from these intercompany loans in Onex’ consolidated ﬁnancial statements. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 19 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISThe simpliﬁed diagram below illustrates the types of subsidiaries included within Onex’ corporate structure and the basis on which they are accounted for. Consolidated Subsidiaries Intercompany loans between consolidated subsidiaries and investment holding companies(1) Investment Holding Companies(2) Private equity investments including Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds(3) Credit CLO investments(3) Credit Funds(3) (1) Onex Corporation and the consolidated asset management subsidiaries enter into intercompany loans that, in aggregate, have no net effect on Onex’ financial position. Intercompany loans payable by Onex and the consolidated subsidiaries to the Investment Holding Companies are recognized as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, with the corresponding loans receivable classified as assets within corporate investments in the consolidated balance sheets. (2) Onex’ investments in the Investment Holding Companies are recorded as corporate investments at fair value through net earnings (loss). (3) Onex’ investments in private equity and Credit strategies are typically held directly or indirectly through wholly-owned investment holding companies, which are subsidiaries of the Primary Investment Holding Companies. 20 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISC O N S O L I D A T E D O P E R A T I N G R E S U L T S This section should be read in conjunction with Onex’ con- solidated statements of earnings for the years ended Decem- ber 31, 2022 and 2021, and the corresponding notes thereto. C R I T I C A L A C C O U N T I N G P O L I C I E S A N D E S T I M A T E S Foreign currency translation The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar, as it is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. For such operations, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Non-mon- etary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign curren- cies are translated at historical exchange rates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the relevant period of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses also arise on the settlement of for- eign-currency denominated transactions. These exchange gains and losses are recognized in net earnings (loss). The functional currency of Gluskin Sheff is the Canadian dollar and as such, the assets and liabilities of Gluskin Sheff are translated into U.S. dollars using the year-end exchange rate. Revenues and expenses of Gluskin Sheff are translated at the average exchange rates prevail- ing during the relevant period of the transaction. Gains and losses arising from the translation of Gluskin Sheff’s ﬁnan- cial results are deferred in the currency translation account included in equity. Corporate investments Corporate investments include Onex’ investments in its subsidiaries, primarily consisting of Investment Holding Companies, that meet the investment entity exception to consolidation criteria under IFRS 10, Consolidated financial statements (“IFRS 10”). These subsidiaries primarily invest Onex’ capital in the Onex Partners Funds, ONCAP Funds and certain private credit strategies. Corporate investments are measured at fair value through net earnings (loss) in accor- dance with IFRS 9, Financial instruments (“IFRS 9”). The fair value of corporate investments includes the fair value of both intercompany loans receivable from and payable to Onex and the Asset Managers. In addition, the fair value of corporate investments includes Onex’ portion of the carried interest earned on investments made by the Onex Partners Funds and ONCAP Funds, and the liability associated with management incentive programs, including the Manage- ment Investment Plan (the “MIP”). The majority of the Company’s corporate invest- ments, excluding intercompany loans, consisted of invest- ments made in the Primary Investment Holding Companies. Management and advisory fees, recoverable fund expenses and other receivables Management and advisory fees receivable represent amounts owing to Onex and the Asset Managers from the Onex private equity funds, private credit strategies, Gluskin Sheff pooled fund vehicles and certain operating companies of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. Recoverable fund expenses include amounts owing to the Asset Managers from the Onex private equity funds, private credit strategies and certain operating companies of the Onex private equity funds related to certain deal inves- tigation, research and other expenses incurred by the Asset Managers, which are recoverable at cost. The Company’s receivables are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. The Company recognizes a loss allowance for receiv- ables based on the 12-month expected credit losses for receivables that have not had a signiﬁcant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. For receivables with a credit risk that has signiﬁcantly increased since initial recognition, the Company records a loss allowance based on the lifetime expected credit losses. Signiﬁcant ﬁnancial difﬁculties of the counterparty and default in payments are considered indi- cators that the credit risk associated with a receivable bal- ance may have changed since initial recognition. Intercompany loans with Investment Holding Companies Intercompany loans payable to the Investment Holding Companies represent ﬁnancial liabilities that are payable to subsidiaries of Onex, which are recorded at fair value in the consolidated ﬁnancial statements. Intercompany loans receivable from the Investment Holding Companies are classiﬁed as corporate investments and represent loans receivable from subsidiaries of Onex, which are recorded at fair value in the consolidated ﬁnancial statements. Onex has elected to measure these ﬁnancial instruments at fair value through net earnings (loss) in accordance with IFRS 9. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 21 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISContingent consideration Contingent consideration is established for business acqui- sitions where the Company has the obligation to transfer additional assets or equity interests to the former owners if speciﬁed future events occur or conditions are met. The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities is typically based on the estimated future ﬁnancial performance of the acquired business. Financial targets used in the estimation process include certain deﬁned ﬁnancial targets and inter- nal rates of return. Contingent consideration is classiﬁed as a liability when the obligation requires settlement in cash or other assets, and as equity when the obligation requires settlement in own equity instruments. Contingent consider- ation classiﬁed as a liability is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized through net earnings (loss). Contingent consideration recorded in Onex’ consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is related to the acquisition of Falcon Investment Advisors by Onex in December 2020. Revenue recognition The Company’s signiﬁcant revenue streams are as follows: Management and advisory fees Onex earns management fees for managing investor capital through its private equity funds, private credit strategies and public strategies. Onex earns advisory fees for services pro- vided directly to certain underlying operating businesses of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. Asset management services are provided over time, and the amount earned is generally calculated based on a percentage of limited part- ners’ committed capital, limited partners’ net funded com- mitments, unfunded commitments, the collateral principal balance, invested capital, gross invested assets, net asset value or assets under management of the respective strate- gies. Revenues earned from management and advisory fees are recognized over time as services are provided. Performance fees Performance fees are recognized as revenue to the extent the fees are highly probable to not reverse, which is typically at the end of each performance year, or upon closure of a client account or transfer of assets to a different investment model. Performance fees associated with the manage- ment of public strategies are comprised of performance fees and performance allocations. Performance fees are deter- mined by applying an agreed-upon formula to the growth in the net asset value of clients’ assets under management. Performance allocations are allocated to the Company as a General Partner of certain public strategy funds. Perfor- mance fees associated with capital managed by Onex Credit range between 10% and 20% and may be subject to perfor- mance hurdles. Carried interest – Credit Funds The General Partners of the Credit Funds are entitled to a carried interest of up to 20% on the realized net gains from limited partners in certain private credit funds, subject to a hurdle or minimum preferred return to investors. The Onex Falcon management team is allocated the entire carried interest for Onex Falcon Funds acquired with Onex Falcon in December 2020, with the exception of Onex Falcon VI, where Onex Falcon management is entitled to approximately 80% of the carried interest and Onex’ entitlement is approximately 20%. In most other cases, the Onex Credit management team is allocated 50% of the carried interest from other private credit funds and Onex is entitled to the remaining 50% of the carried interest realized from the private credit investments. Carried interest earned by Onex from the Credit Funds is recognized as revenue to the extent it is highly prob- able to not reverse, which typically occurs when the invest- ments held by a given fund are substantially realized, toward the end of the fund’s term. Reimbursement of expenses from investment funds and operating businesses Certain deal investigation, research and other expenses incurred by the Asset Managers are recoverable at cost from the Onex private equity funds, private credit strategies and certain operating businesses of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. These expense reimbursements are recog- nized as revenue in accordance with IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers (“IFRS 15”). 22 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISSigniﬁcant accounting estimates and judgements Onex prepares its consolidated ﬁnancial statements in accor- dance with IFRS. The preparation of ﬁnancial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judge- ments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and equity, the related disclo- sures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the ﬁnancial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue, expenses and gains (losses) on ﬁnancial instruments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. Estimates and under- lying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revi- sions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Areas that involve critical judgements, assumptions and estimates and that have a signiﬁcant influence on the amounts recognized in the consolidated ﬁnancial state- ments are further described as follows: Investment entity status Judgement is required when determining whether Onex, the parent company, meets the deﬁnition of an investment entity, which IFRS 10 deﬁnes as an entity that: (i) obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of provid- ing those investors with investment management services; (ii) commits to its investors that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income, or both; and (iii) measures and evalu- ates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis. When determining whether Onex met the deﬁnition of an investment entity under IFRS 10, Onex management applied signiﬁcant judgement when assess- ing whether the Company measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis. Onex management also considered the impact of acquisitions made by the Company when determining whether Onex met the deﬁnition of an investment entity under IFRS 10. Onex conducts its business primarily through con- trolled subsidiaries, which consist of entities providing asset management services, investment holding companies and General Partners of private equity funds, credit funds and limited partnerships. Certain of these subsidiaries were formed for legal, regulatory or similar reasons by Onex and share a common business purpose. The assessment of whether Onex, the parent company, meets the deﬁnition of an investment entity was performed on an aggregate basis with these subsidiaries. Corporate investments The measurement of corporate investments is signiﬁcantly impacted by the fair values of the investments held by the Onex Partners Funds, ONCAP Funds, private equity invest- ments held directly by Onex and investments in private credit strategies. The fair value of corporate investments is assessed at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized through net earnings (loss). The valuation of the underlying non-public invest- ments requires signiﬁcant judgement due to the absence of quoted market values, the inherent lack of liquidity, the long-term nature of such investments and heightened mar- ket uncertainty as a result of global inflationary pressures, increasing interest rates, heightened geopolitical risks and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Valuation methodologies include discounted cash flows and observations of the valu- ation multiples implied by precedent transactions or trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued. Key assumptions made in the valuations include unlevered free cash flows, including the timing of earnings projections and the expected long- term revenue growth, the weighted average costs of capital and the exit multiples. The valuations take into consideration company-speciﬁc items, the lack of liquidity inherent in a non-public investment and the fact that precedent trans- actions and comparable public companies are not identi- cal to the companies being valued. Such considerations are necessary since, in the absence of a committed buyer and completion of due diligence procedures, there may be com- pany-speciﬁc items which are not fully known that may affect the fair value. A variety of additional factors are reviewed, including, but not limited to, ﬁnancing and sales transactions with third parties, current operating performance and future expectations of the particular investment, changes in market outlook and the third-party ﬁnancing environment. In deter- mining changes to the fair value of the underlying private equity investments, emphasis is placed on current company performance and market conditions. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 23 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISFor publicly traded investments, the valuation is based on closing market prices less adjustments, if any, for regulatory sale restrictions. The fair value of underlying investments in private credit strategies that are not quoted in an active market may be determined by using reputable pricing sources (such as pricing agencies) or indicative prices from bond/debt market makers. Broker quotes as obtained from the pricing sources may be indicative and not executable or binding. Judgement and estimates are used to determine the quantity and quality of the pricing sources used. Where limited or no market data is available, positions may be valued using mod- els that include the use of third-party pricing information, and are usually based on valuation methods and techniques generally recognized as standard within the industry. Mod- els use observable data to the extent practicable. However, areas such as credit risk (both own and counterparty), vol- atilities and correlations may require estimates to be made. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of the underlying investments in private credit strategies. Management incentive programs are included in the fair value of corporate investments and are determined using an internally developed valuation model. The critical assumptions and estimates used in the valuation model include the fair value of the underlying investments, the time to expected exit from each investment, a risk-free rate of return and an industry-comparable historical volatility for each investment. The fair value of the underlying invest- ments includes the same critical assumptions and estimates previously described. The changes in fair value of corporate investments are further described on pages 30, 31 and 32 of this MD&A. The Company assessed whether its underlying subsidiar- ies met the deﬁnition of an investment entity, as deﬁned under IFRS 10. In certain circumstances, this assessment was performed together with other entities that were formed in connection with each other for legal, regulatory or simi- lar reasons. Similarly, where a subsidiary’s current business purpose is to facilitate a common purpose with a group of entities, the assessment of whether those subsidiaries met the deﬁnition of an investment entity was performed on an aggregated basis. Certain subsidiaries were formed for various busi- ness purposes that, in certain circumstances, have evolved since their formation. When the Company assessed whether these subsidiaries met the deﬁnition of an investment entity, as deﬁned under IFRS 10, professional judgement was exer- cised to determine the primary business purpose of these subsidiaries and the measurement basis, which were signiﬁ- cant factors in determining their investment entity status. Goodwill impairment tests and recoverability of assets The Company tests at least annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with its accounting policies. The determination of the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit to which goodwill is allocated involves the use of estimates by management. The Company gener- ally uses discounted cash flow-based models to determine these values. These discounted cash flow calculations typi- cally use ﬁve-year projections that are based on the operat- ing plans approved by management. Cash flow projections take into account past experience and represent manage- ment’s best estimate of future developments. Cash flows after the planning period are extrapolated using estimated growth rates. Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of fair value less costs to sell and value in use include estimated growth rates, weighted aver- age cost of capital and tax rates. These estimates, including the methodology used, can have a material impact on the respective values and ultimately the amount of any goodwill impairment. Likewise, whenever property, equipment and other intangible assets are tested for impairment, the deter- mination of the assets’ recoverable amount involves the use of estimates by management, and can have a material impact on the respective values and ultimately the amount of any impairment. Income and other taxes The Company operates and earns income in various coun- tries and is subject to changing tax laws or application of tax laws in multiple jurisdictions within these countries. Signiﬁcant judgement is necessary in determining world- wide income and other tax liabilities. Although manage- ment believes that it has made reasonable estimates about the ﬁnal outcome of tax uncertainties, no assurance can be 24 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISgiven that the ﬁnal outcome of these tax matters will be con- sistent with what is reflected in the historical income tax pro- visions. Such differences could have an effect on income and other tax liabilities and deferred tax liabilities in the period in which such determinations are made. At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether the realization of future tax beneﬁts is sufﬁciently probable to recognize deferred tax assets. This assessment requires the exercise of judgement on the part of management with respect to, among other things, beneﬁts that could be realized from available tax strategies and future taxable income, as well as other positive and neg- ative factors. The recorded amount of total deferred tax assets could be reduced if estimates of projected future taxable income and beneﬁts from available tax strategies are low- ered, or if changes in current tax regulations are enacted that impose restrictions on the timing or extent of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax beneﬁts. The Company uses signiﬁcant judgement when determining whether to recognize deferred tax liabilities with respect to taxable temporary differences associated with cor- porate investments, in particular whether the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and whether it is probable that the temporary dif- ferences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Judgement includes consideration of the Company’s future cash require- ments in its numerous tax jurisdictions. Legal provisions and contingencies The Company, in the normal course of operations, can become involved in various legal proceedings. While the Company cannot predict the ﬁnal outcome of such legal proceedings, the outcome of these matters may have a mate- rial effect on the Company’s consolidated ﬁnancial position, results of operations or cash flows. Management regularly analyzes current information about such matters and pro- vides provisions for probable contingent losses, including an estimate of legal expenses to resolve the matters. Inter- nal and external counsel are used for these assessments. In making the decision regarding the need for provisions, man- agement considers the degree of probability of an unfavour- able outcome and the ability to make a sufﬁciently reliable estimate of the amount of loss. The ﬁling of a suit or formal assertion of a claim or the disclosure of any such suit or assertion does not automatically indicate that a provision may be appropriate. Impact of COVID-19 on significant estimates Determining the impact of COVID-19 on the valuation of the Company’s corporate investments requires signifi- cant judgement given the amount of uncertainty regarding the long-term impact of COVID-19. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the financial results of the Company will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related advisories and restric- tions. These developments and the impact of COVID-19 on the financial markets and overall economy are highly uncer- tain and difficult to predict. If the financial markets and/ or overall economy are impacted for a period significantly longer than currently implied by the markets, the financial results of the Company, including the fair value of its corpo- rate investments, may be materially adversely affected. V A R I A B I L I T Y O F R E S U L T S Onex’ consolidated operating results may vary substan- tially from quarter to quarter and year to year for a number of reasons. Those reasons may be signiﬁcant with respect to (i) Onex’ asset management activities and the fees and carried interest associated therewith; (ii) the aggregate fair value of Onex’ investments in and related to the private equity funds, including the underlying private equity operating businesses, and credit strategies, as a result of not only changes in speciﬁc underlying values but also new investments or realizations by those funds; or (iii) Onex’ cash position or the amount and value of its treasury investments. More broadly, Onex’ results may be materially affected by such factors as changes in the economic or political environment, the occurrence of natural disasters, incidents of war, riot or civil unrest, pandemics or outbreaks of new infectious diseases or viruses (including the COVID-19 pandemic), foreign exchange and interest rates, the value of stock-based compensation, and tax and trade legislation or its application, for example. Given the diversity of Onex’ asset management businesses, private credit invest- ments and the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds’ operating businesses, the exposures, risks and contingencies that could impact Onex’ investments may be many, varied and mate- rial. Certain of those matters are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Onex’ 2022 Annual Information Form. In addition, the fair values of Onex’ underlying investments in private credit strategies are impacted by the CLO market, leveraged loan market and credit risk (both own and counterparty), which may vary substantially from quarter to quarter and year to year.

Consolidated net earnings Onex recorded consolidated net earnings of $435 million and net earnings per diluted share of $5.32 during the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to net earnings of $214 million and net earnings per diluted share of $2.45 during the same period in 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Onex recorded consolidated net earnings of $235 million and net earnings per diluted share of $2.77 compared to net earnings of $1.4 billion and net earnings per diluted share of $15.76 during 2021. Tables 1 and 2 present the segmented results for the three months and years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Onex’ segmented results include unrealized carried interest from third-party limited partners in the Credit Funds, which is recognized based on the fair values of the underlying invest- ments and the unrealized net gains in each respective fund, in accordance with the limited partnership agreements, and net of allocations to management. In Onex’ consolidated ﬁnancial statements, carried interest from the Credit Funds is recognized as revenue gross of allocations to management and to the extent it is highly probable to not reverse, which typically occurs when the investments held by a given fund are substantially realized, toward the end of the fund’s term, as described in note 1 to the 2022 audited annual consoli- dated ﬁnancial statements. Onex’ segmented results also include performance fees associated with the management of certain Credit strategies, which are based on the funds’ performance during the periods presented by applying an agreed-upon formula to the growth in the net asset value of clients’ assets under management. In Onex’ consolidated statements of earnings, performance fees are recognized as revenue to the extent the fees are highly probable to not reverse, which is typically at the end of each performance year, as described in note 1 to the 2022 audited annual consolidated financial statements. The reportable seg- ment results for 2021 have been restated to include unrealized performance fees earned from Credit strategies. Onex’ segmented results exclude revenues and expenses associated with recoverable expenses from the Onex Part- ners Funds, ONCAP Funds, private credit strategies and the operating businesses of Onex Partners and ONCAP. Onex management excludes these amounts when assessing Onex’ performance given the nature of these expenses, which are recoverable at cost. 26 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISDuring 2021, Onex’ reportable segment results included allocations from the investing segment to the asset manage- ment segment related to carried interest and management fees that would have been earned by the asset management segment had Onex’ private equity capital been subject to carried interest and management fees under the same terms as third-party limited partners. These allocations are no longer used by Onex to assess performance and allocate resources and are therefore excluded from Onex’ reportable segment results. The reportable segment results for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and years ended Decem- ber 31, 2021 and 2020 have been restated to remove these allocations.

Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 29 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISConsolidated income for the three months and years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 Consolidated income consists of net gains from corporate investments, including carried interest, and management and advisory fees on third-party capital managed through Private Equity and Credit Funds. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, Onex’ investing segment recognized a net gain on corporate investments of $374 million and $116 million, respectively (2021 – $291 million and $1.5 billion, respectively). The contribution of private equity and private credit to this performance is detailed in the two tables below: TABLE 4 ($ millions) Net Gain (Loss) from Private Equity Investments Onex Partners Funds(i) Onex Partners II Onex Partners III Onex Partners IV Onex Partners V Management incentive programs Total net gain from Onex Partners Funds ONCAP Funds(i) ONCAP II ONCAP III ONCAP IV Management incentive programs Total net gain from ONCAP Funds Net gain from other private equity investments Three Months Ended December 31, 2022 Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 Year Ended December 31, 2022 Year Ended December 31, 2021 $ 1 24 171 139 (38) 297 18 (7) – – 11 60 $ 2 22 1 84 1 110 16 11 46 (14) 59 106 $ (6) $ (41) 35 (233) 225 (7) 14 15 (20) 171 (27) 139 19 96 454 313 (71) 751 47 92 57 (36) 160 422 Total net gain from private equity $ 368 $ 275 $ 172 $ 1,333 (i) Onex’ investments in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds include co-investments, where applicable. During 2022 and 2021, the changes in fair value of Onex’ investments in the private equity funds were driven by the underlying fair values of the operating companies, as out- lined below. • Onex Partners V, which generated increases in fair value for its investments in Acacium Group, Convex, Fidelity BSG, OneDigital, Tes and Wealth Enhancement Group, partially offset by a decrease in fair value in RES; and During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the net gain from private equity investments was primarily driven by: • Onex Partners IV, which generated increases in fair value for its investments in ASM Global and PowerSchool Group, partially offset by decreases in fair value in Clarivate Ana- lytics Plc (“Clarivate Analytics”) and Parkdean Resorts; • increases in fair value of Onex’ investments in Celestica and Ryan Specialty Group (“RSG”). 30 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISDuring the year ended December 31, 2022, the net gain from private equity investments was primarily driven by: • Onex Partners V, which generated increases in fair value for its investments in Acacium Group, Convex, Fidelity BSG, Imagine Learning, Newport Healthcare and OneDig- ital, partially offset by decreases in fair value in Emerald Expositions and Wealth Enhancement Group; • ONCAP IV, which generated increases in fair value for its investments in AutoSavvy, International Language Acad- emy of Canada and Precision Concepts International; and • the net gains from Onex Partners V and ONCAP IV were partially offset by a net loss from Onex Partners IV, which was primarily driven by net losses in Clarivate Analyt- ics, Parkdean Resorts and SCP Health, partially offset by increases in fair value in PowerSchool Group and Ryan. During 2022, macroeconomic and market factors, including broad increases in global interest rates and inflation, fluc- tuations in foreign exchange rates and changes in trading multiples for public companies, impacted the fair values of Onex’ private equity investments. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the net gain from private equity investments was primarily driven by: • increases in fair value of Onex’ investments in Celestica and RSG; and • Onex Partners V, which generated increases in fair value for its investments in Convex, Imagine Learning, OneDig- ital and Partou, partially offset by a decrease in fair value in Emerald Expositions. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the net gain from private equity investments was primarily driven by: • an increase in fair value of Onex’ investment in RSG; • Onex Partners IV, which generated increases in fair value for its investments in Advanced Integration Technology, ASM Global, Parkdean Resorts, Ryan, SCP Health and WireCo WorldGroup, partially offset by a decrease in fair value in Clarivate Analytics; and • Onex Partners V, which generated increases in fair value for its investments in Acacium Group, Convex, Imagine Learning and OneDigital.

The performance of CLO investments is correlated with the performance of the underlying leveraged loan market, but amplified due to the CLOs’ structural leverage. Management and advisory fees for the three months and years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were generated from the following sources: TABLE 6 ($ millions) Management and Advisory Fees Three Months Ended December 31, 2022 Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 Change in Total Source of management and advisory fees Credit Private Equity (i) Total management and advisory fees $ 37 30 $ 67 $ 38 30 $ 68 $ (1) – $ (1) (3)% – (1)% (i) Includes advisory fees earned from the Onex Partners and ONCAP operating businesses.

Management and advisory fees from Private Equity were 6% lower during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021. This decrease was primarily driven by Onex Partners III no longer collecting management fees and realizations in the Onex Partners IV and ONCAP III Funds during 2021, which reduced the management fee basis for these funds. 32 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISManagement and advisory fees for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were generated from the following sources: TABLE 8 ($ millions) Management and Advisory Fees Source of management and advisory fees Credit Private Equity (i) Total management and advisory fees Year Ended December 31, 2021 Year Ended December 31, 2020 Change in Total $ 152 125 $ 277 $ 115 129 $ 244 $ 37 (4) $ 33 32 % (3)% 14 % (i) Includes advisory fees earned from the Onex Partners and ONCAP operating businesses. The increase in management and advisory fees was primarily due to increased management fees earned by Credit in connection with the acquisition of Onex Falcon in December 2020. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, Onex recognized $1 million in performance fees from its liq- uid strategies compared to $13 million in the same periods in 2021. The decline in performance fees was primarily driven by declines in equity and bond markets in North America during 2022. During 2020, Onex recognized $16 million of performance fees from its liquid strategies. Certain deal investigation, research and other costs incurred by the Asset Managers are recoverable from the Onex pri- vate equity funds, private credit strategies and the operating businesses of Onex Partners and ONCAP. These cost reim- bursements are recognized as revenue in accordance with IFRS 15. During the three months and year ended Decem- ber 31, 2022, Onex recognized $13 million and $35 million, respectively, in revenues and expenses associated with these reimbursements (2021 – $10 million and $42 million, respec- tively). During the year ended December 31, 2020, Onex rec- ognized $14 million in revenues and expenses associated with these reimbursements. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 33 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISCompensation Compensation expense for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 was $53 million and $239 mil- lion, respectively, compared to $64 million and $248 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2021. Refer to pages 15 and 16 of this MD&A for further details concerning com- pensation expense. Stock-based compensation recovery (expense) During the three months ended December 31, 2022, Onex recorded a consolidated stock-based compensation expense of $18 million compared to $78 million during the same period in 2021. The stock-based compensation expense recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to a 3% increase in the market value of Onex’ SVS to C$65.29 at December 31, 2022 from C$63.36 at September 30, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Onex recorded a consolidated stock-based compensation recovery of $222 million compared to a stock-based compensation expense of $205 million during 2021. The stock-based com- pensation recovery recorded during the year ended Decem- ber 31, 2022 was primarily due to a 34% decline in the market value of Onex’ SVS to C$65.29 at December 31, 2022 from C$99.28 at December 31, 2021. Table 9 details the change in stock-based compensation recovery (expense).

At December 31, 2022, Onex’ corporate investments, which are more fully described in note 5 to the consolidated ﬁnan- cial statements, totalled $10.9 billion (December 31, 2021 – $11.0 billion). During the year ended December 31, 2022, Onex’ investment of capital primarily consisted of the investments made in Onex Partners V, ONCAP IV and Unanet, as described on page 10 of this MD&A, and investments made in private credit strategies, as described on page 12 of this MD&A. During the year ended December 31, 2022, realiza- tions and distributions to Onex primarily consisted of realiza- tions from the Onex Partners IV and Onex Partners V Funds, as described on page 10 of this MD&A, and distributions and realizations from private credit strategies, as described on page 12 of this MD&A. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the change in fair value of Onex’ corporate investments totalled an increase of $130 million, primarily driven by changes in fair value of Onex’ investments in private equity, which are more fully described on page 31 of this MD&A, partially off- set by a decrease in fair value of Onex’ investments in CLOs, as more fully described on page 32 of this MD&A. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Onex’ invest- ment of capital primarily consisted of the investments made in Onex Partners V and private credit strategies. Investments in private credit strategies included net investments of $50 million in CLOs and additional investments totalling $55 million to support the warehouse facilities for Onex’ twenty-second and twenty-third CLOs denominated in U.S. dollars (“CLO-22” and “CLO-23”, respectively). Investments in Onex Partners V included Onex’ share of the fund’s invest- ments in the following operating companies: • $279 million invested in Imagine Learning, a K-12 digital curriculum company in the United States. Onex’ invest- ment included $100 million as a co-investor; • $226 million invested in Wealth Enhancement Group (“WEG”), an independent wealth management firm offer- ing comprehensive and customized financial planning and investment management services in the United States.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the change in fair value of Onex’ corporate investments totalled an increase of $1.7 billion, primarily driven by changes in the fair value of Onex’ investments in private equity, which are more fully described on page 31 of this MD&A. The valuation of public investments held directly by Onex or through the Onex Partners Funds and ONCAP Funds is based on their publicly traded closing prices at Decem- ber 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. For certain public invest- ments, a discount was applied to the closing price in relation to restrictions that were in place at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 relating to the securities held by Onex, the Onex Partners Funds or the ONCAP Funds. At December 31, 2022, these discounts resulted in a reduction of $73 million in the fair value of corporate investments (December 31, 2021 – $77 million). Onex’ private equity investments include direct and indirect investments in 41 operating businesses at December 31, 2022, which operate in a variety of industries and countries.

Lease liabilities Onex leases ofﬁce space in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. Lease terms are negotiated on an individ- ual basis and contain a wide range of terms and conditions. The terms of the Onex leasing agreements are generally made for ﬁxed periods up to 2033 and in certain circumstances contain options to extend beyond the initial ﬁxed periods. In circumstances where it is reasonably certain that Onex will exercise an option to extend a leasing agreement, the mini- mum lease payments to be made during the extension period are included in the determination of the lease liability to be recorded. The lease contracts entered into by Onex do not contain any signiﬁcant restrictions or covenants.

Accrued compensation Accrued compensation at December 31, 2022 was $122 mil- lion (December 31, 2021 – $147 million) and consisted of employee incentive compensation for the ﬁscal 2022 year, which will largely be paid during the ﬁrst quarter of 2023. Contingent consideration Contingent consideration of $57 million was recorded as a liability in Onex’ consolidated balance sheet at Decem- ber 31, 2022 compared to $43 million and $33 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which represents the fair value of contingent consideration owed by Onex in connection with the acquisition of Falcon Investment Advisors in December 2020. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated by calculating the present value of future expected cash flows. Up to $80 mil- lion in contingent consideration may be payable by Onex in connection with the acquisition of Falcon Investment Advi- sors, based on Onex Falcon’s financial performance from 2023 to 2025 and the size and performance of certain funds to be launched by Onex Falcon.

Onex believes that it is advanta- geous for Onex and its shareholders to continue to repur- chase Onex’ SVS from time to time when the SVS are trading at prices that reflect a discount to their value as perceived by Onex, while considering other opportunities to invest Onex’ cash. On April 18, 2022, Onex renewed its NCIB following the expiry of its previous NCIB on April 17, 2022. Under the new NCIB, Onex is permitted to purchase up to 10% of its public float of SVS, or 7,167,381 SVS. Onex may purchase up to 35,172 SVS during any trading day, being 25% of its aver- age daily trading volume for the six months ended March 31, 2022. Onex may also purchase SVS from time to time under the TSX’s block purchase exemption, if available, or by way of private agreement pursuant to an issuer bid exemption order, if sought and received, under the new NCIB. The new NCIB commenced on April 18, 2022 and will conclude on the earlier of the date on which purchases under the NCIB have been completed and April 17, 2023. A copy of the Notice of Intention to renew the NCIB ﬁled with the TSX is available at no charge to shareholders by contacting Onex. Under the previous NCIB that expired on April 17, 2022, Onex repurchased 4,039,408 SVS at a total cost of $286 mil- lion (C$360 million) or an average purchase price of $70.80 (C$89.10) per share. The private transactions during the year ended December 31, 2021 represented the repurchase of SVS that were held indirectly by Mr. Gerald W.

Stock Option Plan Onex, the parent company, has a Stock Option Plan in place that provides for options and/or share appreciation rights to be granted to Onex directors, ofﬁcers and employees for the acquisition of SVS of Onex, the parent company, for a term not exceeding 10 years. The options vest equally over ﬁve years. The exercise price of the options issued is at the market value of the SVS on the business day preceding the day of the grant. Vested options are not exercisable unless the average ﬁve-day market price of Onex SVS is at least 25% greater than the exercise price at the time of exercise (“hur- dle price”).

Director Deferred Share Unit Plan During 2022, 45,850 DSUs were issued to directors having an aggregate value of $2 million (C$3 million), in lieu of direc- tors’ fees (2021 – 30,406 DSUs with an aggregate value of $2 million (C$3 million)). At December 31, 2022, there were 637,782 Director DSUs outstanding (December 31, 2021 – 659,955). At December 31, 2022, Onex had economically hedged all of the outstanding Director DSUs with counter- party ﬁnancial institutions. Management Deferred Share Unit Plan In early 2022, 78,566 DSUs were issued to the Onex manage- ment team having an aggregate value, at the date of grant, of $5 million (C$7 million) in lieu of that amount of cash com- pensation for Onex’ 2021 ﬁscal year (2021 – 111,088 DSUs with an aggregate value of $6 million (C$8 million) for Onex’ 2020 fiscal year). During the year ended December 31, 2022, 118,843 Management DSUs were exercised at a weighted aver- age exercise price of C$80.39 for aggregate cash consideration of $8 million (C$10 million). In connection with the exercised Management DSUs, Onex received $8 million (C$10 million) of proceeds from forward agreements it had entered into with a ﬁnancial institution to economically hedge the Manage- ment DSUs. At December 31, 2022, there were 846,250 Man- agement DSUs outstanding (December 31, 2021 – 881,943). At December 31, 2022, Onex had economically hedged all of the outstanding Management DSUs with coun- terparty ﬁnancial institutions. Forward agreements with a fair value of $72 million at December 31, 2022, associated with Director DSUs and Management DSUs, were recorded within other assets in the consolidated balance sheet (December 31, 2021 – $116 million). 48 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISDirector DSUs must be held until retirement from the Board and Management DSUs must be held until management is no longer employed by Onex.

Management of capital Onex considers the capital it manages to be the amounts it has invested in cash and cash equivalents, near-cash invest- ments, treasury investments managed by a third-party investment manager, investments made in the Onex Partners Funds, ONCAP Funds and private credit strategies, and other investments. Onex also manages capital from other investors in the Onex Partners Funds, ONCAP Funds and Credit strate- gies. Onex’ objectives in managing capital are to: • preserve a ﬁnancially strong parent company with appro- priate liquidity and no, or a limited amount of, external debt so that funds are available to pursue new investments and growth opportunities, as well as support expansion of its existing businesses; • achieve an appropriate return on capital invested com- mensurate with the level of assumed risk; • build the long-term value of its corporate investments; and • control the risk associated with capital invested in any particular strategy. Onex Corporation does not guarantee the debt of its investment funds or the underlying operat- ing businesses of its private equity funds. At December 31, 2022, Onex had $1.1 billion of cash and near- cash items (December 31, 2021 – $1.6 billion), as described on page 36 of this MD&A. Onex has a conservative cash management policy, driven toward maintaining liquidity and preserving princi- pal in all its treasury investments. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of trea- sury investments, including cash yet to be deployed and net working capital managed by a third-party investment manager, was $367 million (December 31, 2021 – $677 mil- lion). The decrease was primarily driven by the net sale of treasury investments to fund certain private equity invest- ments made during the year and other cash ﬂow needs from Onex. Treasury investments are managed in a mix of short- and long-term portfolios and consist of commercial paper with original maturities of three months to one year, and federal debt instruments, corporate obligations and structured products with maturities of one to ﬁve years. Treasury investments have current Standard & Poor’s rat- ings ranging from BBB to AAA. The portfolio concentration limits range from a maximum of 10% for BBB investments to 100% for AAA investments. The investments are managed to maintain an overall weighted average duration of two years or less. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 49 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISAt December 31, 2022, Onex had access to un- called committed limited partner capital for investments through Onex Partners V (approximately $745 million), Onex Partners VI (approximately $420 million), ONCAP IV (approximately $120 million) and ONCAP V (approximately $110 million). In addition, Onex has uncalled committed capital of approximately $300 million from other Onex Part- ners and ONCAP Funds that may be used for possible future funding of existing businesses and partnership expenses. L I Q U I D I T Y A N D C A P I T A L R E S O U R C E S Major cash ﬂow components This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements of cash flows and the corresponding notes thereto. Table 28 summarizes the major consolidated cash flow components for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Major Cash Flow Components TABLE 28 ($ millions) Year ended December 31 Cash provided by (used in) operating activities Cash used in financing activities Cash provided by (used in) investing activities Consolidated cash and cash equivalents 2022 $ (384) $ (282) $ 234 $ 111 2021 $ 361 $ (465) $ (55) $ 547 Cash provided by (used in) operating activities Table 29 provides a breakdown of cash provided by (used in) operating activities by cash generated from operations and changes in non-cash working capital items for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Components of Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities TABLE 29 ($ millions) Year ended December 31 Cash generated from operations Changes in working capital items: Management and advisory fees, recoverable fund expenses and other receivables Other assets Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities Accrued compensation Decrease in cash and cash equivalents due to changes in working capital items 2022 $ (188) (175) (3) 7 (25) (196) 2021 $ 496 (107) (1) (49) 22 (135) Cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ (384) $ 361 50 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISCash used in ﬁnancing activities Cash used in ﬁnancing activities was $282 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $465 million during 2021. Cash used in ﬁnancing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily consisted of $321 million of cash used to repurchase Onex stock (2021 – $249 million), as described on page 46 of this MD&A, and $26 million of cash dividends paid (2021 – $28 million), partially offset by $77 million of net loan issuances from the Investment Hold- ing Companies (2021 – $173 million of net loan repayments). Cash provided by (used in) investing activities Cash provided by investing activities totalled $234 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $55 million used in investing activities during 2021. Cash provided by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily consisted of the net sale of treasury investments totalling $237 million (2021 – net purchase of $56 million). Cash generated from operations includes net earnings from operations before interest and recovery of income taxes, adjusted for items not affecting cash and cash equivalents, in addition to cash flows from Onex’ investments in and loans made to the Investment Holding Companies and stock- based compensation paid. The signiﬁcant changes in non- cash working capital items for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were: • a $175 million increase in receivables, primarily driven by management fees earned but not yet received from certain Credit Funds and the limited partners of the Onex Partners Funds, along with an increase in recoverable fund expenses from the Onex Partners Funds, Onex Part- ners operating companies and certain Credit Funds. These increases were partially offset by the receipt of perfor- mance fees from certain Credit strategies. This compares to a $107 million increase during 2021, primarily driven by management fees earned but not yet received from the limited partners of the Onex Partners Funds; • a $25 million decrease in accrued compensation primar- ily as a result of lower accrued incentive compensation related to the 2022 fiscal year and the payment of 2021 incentive compensation during the ﬁrst quarter of 2022. This compares to a $22 million increase during 2021, primarily as a result of accrued incentive compensation related to the 2021 ﬁscal year, partially offset by the pay- ment of 2020 incentive compensation during the ﬁrst quarter of 2021; and • during the year ended December 31, 2021, accounts pay- able, accrued liabilities and other liabilities decreased by $49 million, primarily driven by a payment made in con- nection with the former Onex Credit CEO’s participation in the Onex Credit business. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 51 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISFourth quarter cash flows Table 30 presents the major components of cash flow for the fourth quarters of 2022 and 2021. Major Cash Flow Components TABLE 30 ($ millions) Cash provided by (used in) operating activities Cash provided by financing activities Cash provided by (used in) investing activities Consolidated cash and cash equivalents 2022 $ (93) $ 44 $ 9 $ 111 2021 $ 144 $ 25 $ (213) $ 547 Cash used in operating activities during the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by negative $73 million of cash generated from operations (2021 – positive cash ﬂows of $161 million), and a $51 million increase of management and advisory fees, recoverable fund expenses and other receivables (2021 – increase of $48 million), partially offset by a $24 million increase in accrued compensation (2021 – $36 million). Cash flows from non-cash working capital items during the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021 were primarily driven by similar factors during the years December 31, 2022 and 2021, as described on page 51 of this MD&A. Cash provided by ﬁnancing activities during the fourth quar- ter of 2022 primarily consisted of $180 million of net loan issuances from the Investment Holding Companies (2021 – $107 million), partially offset by $126 million of cash used to repurchase Onex stock (2021 – $71 million). Cash provided by investing activities during the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily consisted of a net sale of treasury investments totalling $13 million (2021 – net pur- chase of $212 million). Consolidated cash resources At December 31, 2022, consolidated cash and cash equivalents decreased to $111 million from $547 million at December 31, 2021. The major components of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 included $59 million of cash on hand (December 31, 2021 – $188 million) and $52 million of money market funds (December 31, 2021 – $353 million). At December 31, 2022, Onex had $1.1 billion of cash and near-cash on hand (December 31, 2021 – $1.6 billion), as described on page 36 of this MD&A. Onex management reviews the amount of cash and near-cash on hand when assessing the liquidity of the Company. 52 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISCommitments Onex Partners Funds The Onex Partners Funds were established to provide committed capital for Onex-sponsored acquisitions not related to Onex’ direct investments or ONCAP and typically make controlling equity investments in operating companies headquartered, orga- nized, domiciled or whose principal executive offices are in North America or Europe.

The investment period for Falcon Fund VII is expected to expire in 2028 and there were no investments made by Onex in Falcon Fund VII during 2022. OCLP I Onex Credit Lending Partners (“OCLP I”) provides commit- ted capital for investments in senior secured loans and other loan investments in middle-market, upper middle-market and large private equity sponsor-owned portfolio com- panies and, selectively, other corporate borrowers. As at December 31, 2022, Onex had invested $74 million (Decem- ber 31, 2021 – $74 million) of its $100 million commitment in OCLP I and the investment period for the fund expired in June 2022. There were no investments made in OCLP I by Onex during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the remaining uncalled commitments to OCLP I are available for future fund expenses and to settle existing lia- bilities of the fund. Onex Structured Credit Opportunities Fund The Onex Structured Credit Opportunities Fund (“OSCO”) invests primarily in U.S. and European collateralized loan obligations. As at December 31, 2022, Onex had invested $45 million of its aggregate $50 million commitment to OSCO and a separately managed account which follows a similar strategy to OSCO. The investment period for OSCO is set to expire in September 2023. Onex Capital Solutions Fund The Onex Capital Solutions Fund (“OCS”) invests primar- ily in loans, bonds, trade claims and credit default swaps, among other assets. As at December 31, 2022, Onex had invested $80 million of its aggregate $200 million commit- ment and the investment period for OCS is set to expire in March 2025. Falcon Fund VII During 2022, Onex completed the ﬁrst close for Falcon Fund VII, reaching aggregate commitments of approximately $460 million, including $30 million from Onex and $35 mil- lion from the Onex management team. The fund aims to make junior capital investments in the U.S. lower middle market In January 2023, Onex committed an additional $50 mil- lion to Falcon Fund VII, increasing its total commitment to $80 million. Subscription financing to Credit Funds Onex has committed to providing up to $270 million of subscription financing to certain Credit Funds. As of Decem- ber 31, 2022 and 2021, no amounts were drawn from these subscription facilities. Incline Aviation Fund, letters of guarantee and other commitments Incline Aviation Fund and Incline Aviation Fund II are air- craft investment funds managed by BBAM, which in turn is an operating business of Onex Partners III. At December 31, 2022, Onex’ uncalled commitments to Incline Aviation Fund and Incline Aviation Fund II were $15 million and $54 mil- lion, respectively (December 31, 2021 – $18 million and $99 million, respectively). Onex has provided guarantees for credit facili- ties that certain members of the management team have access to in connection with personal investments made in certain Onex Partners, ONCAP and Onex Falcon Funds. Borrowings under these credit facilities are collateralized by the personal assets of each participating management team member. These credit facilities had $4 million outstanding at December 31, 2022. The Company has commitments with respect to leases, which are disclosed in note 12 to the consolidated financial statements. R E L A T E D - P A R T Y T R A N S A C T I O N S Investment programs Onex’ investment programs are designed to align the Onex management team’s interests with those of Onex’ sharehold- ers and the limited partner investors in Onex’ Funds. 54 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISThe various investment programs are described in detail in the following pages and certain key aspects are summarized in table 33. TABLE 33 Investment Program Minimum Performance Return Hurdle Management 15% Vesting 6 years Management Investment & Application • personal “at risk” equity investment required Investment Plan (i) Compounded Return • applicable to: – Onex capital invested in Onex Partners I–IV transactions – certain Onex capital invested outside Onex Partners prior to 2020 • not applicable to: – Onex Partners V transactions – future Onex transactions Onex Partners Carried Interest Program(ii) 8% 6 years • personal “at risk” equity investment required Compounded Return • applicable to: – third-party capital invested in Onex Partners I–IV transactions – Onex and third-party capital invested in Onex Partners V–VI transactions – Onex capital invested in Onex Partners originated co-investments and direct investments since 2019 ONCAP 8% 5 years • personal “at risk” equity investment required Carried Interest Compounded Return • applicable to: Program(ii) Credit Carried Interest Program(iii) Management DSU Plan (iv) Director DSU Plan (v) – Onex and third-party capital invested in ONCAP transactions 7%–8% Net IRR 3–5 years • applicable to: – third-party capital invested in certain Credit Funds n/a n/a • investment of elected portion of annual variable cash compensation in Management DSUs • value reflects changes in the Corporation’s share price, including risk associated with price decrease • units not redeemable until retirement n/a n/a • investment of up to 100% of annual directors’ fees in Director DSUs • value reflects changes in Corporation’s share price, including risk associated with price decrease • units not redeemable until retirement Stock Option Plan (vi) 25% Share 5 years • satisfaction of exercise price (market value at grant date) Price Appreciation (i) Management Investment Plan For all investments completed prior to 2020 and excluding all Onex Partners V investments, the MIP required Onex manage- ment team members to invest in each of the operating businesses acquired or invested in by Onex. In addition to this required investment, management was allocated 12% of Onex’ realized gain from an operating business investment, subject to certain conditions. In particular, Onex must realize the full return of its investment plus a net 15% internal rate of return from the investment in order for management to be allocated the additional gain on Onex’ investment. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 55 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISRealizations under the program during 2022 were $7 million (2021 – $132 million) and are settled by certain Investment Holding Companies, which are accounted for as corporate investments at fair value through net earn- ings (loss). (ii) Onex Partners and ONCAP carried interest programs The General Partners of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds are entitled to a carried interest of 20% on the real- ized net gains of the limited partners in each fund, subject to an 8% compound annual preferred return to those limited partners on all amounts contributed in each individual fund. Onex is entitled to 40% of the carried interest realized in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. Onex and Onex Partners management are allocated 60% of the carried interest real- ized in the Onex Partners Funds. For Onex Partners V, Onex Partners VI and certain direct and co-investments, Onex Partners management are also entitled to a carried interest of 12% of the realized gains from Onex’ capital, subject to an 8% compound annual preferred return to Onex on amounts contributed to the fund or invested directly by Onex. ONCAP management is allocated 60% of the carried interest realized in the ONCAP Funds and an equivalent carried interest on Onex’ capital. Once the ONCAP IV investors achieve a return of two times their aggregate capital contributions, carried interest participation increases from 20% to 25% of the real- ized net gains. Under the terms of the partnership agree- ments, the General Partners may receive carried interest as realizations occur. The ultimate amount of carried interest earned will be based on the overall performance of each fund, independently, and includes typical catch-up and clawback provisions within each fund, but not between funds. During the year ended December 31, 2022, man- agement’s share of carried interest from realizations in Onex Partners and ONCAP was $36 million (2021 – $106 mil- lion). Management has the potential to receive $556 million (December 31, 2021 – $522 million) of carried interest on businesses in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds based on their fair values as determined at December 31, 2022. (iii) Credit Carried Interest Program The General Partners of the Onex Credit Funds are entitled to a carried interest of up to 20% on the realized net gains of the limited partners in certain private credit funds, provided the limited partners have achieved a minimum preferred rate of return on their investment. Onex Falcon management is entitled to the entire carried interest for existing Onex Fal- con Funds at the date Onex acquired Onex Falcon in Decem- ber 2020, with the exception of Onex Falcon VI. For Onex Falcon VI, Onex Falcon management is entitled to approxi- mately 80% of the carried interest and Onex is entitled to the remaining approximately 20%. In most other cases, Onex is entitled to 50% of the carried interest realized from Credit Funds, with the remain- ing 50% allocated to the Onex Credit team. During the year ended December 31, 2022, man- agement’s share of carried interest from realizations in the Credit Funds was $31 million (2021 – $27 million). Man- agement has the potential to receive $97 million (Decem- ber 31, 2021 – $115 million) of carried interest from the Credit Funds based on their fair values as determined at December 31, 2022. (iv) Management Deferred Share Unit Plan Effective December 2007, a Management DSU Plan was established as a further means of encouraging personal and direct economic interests by the Company’s senior manage- ment in the performance of the SVS. Under the Management DSU Plan, members of the Company’s senior management team are given the opportunity to designate all or a portion of their annual compensation to acquire DSUs based on the market value of Onex shares at the time in lieu of cash. Holders of DSUs are entitled to receive for each DSU, upon redemption, a cash payment equivalent to the market value of an SVS at the redemption date. The DSUs vest immedi- ately, are only redeemable once the holder ceases to be an ofﬁcer or employee of the Company or an afﬁliate, and must be redeemed by the end of the year following the year the holder ceases to be an officer or employee of the Company or an affiliate. Additional units are issued equivalent to the value of any cash dividends that would have been paid on the SVS. To economically hedge Onex’ exposure to changes in the trading price of Onex shares associated with the Management DSU Plan, the Company enters into forward agreements with counterparty ﬁnancial institutions for all grants under the 56 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Management DSU Plan. The administrative costs of those arrangements are borne by participants in the Management DSU Plan. Management DSUs are redeemable only for cash and no shares or other securities of Onex will be issued on the exercise, redemption or other settlement thereof. Table 27 on page 49 of this MD&A provides details of the change in the DSUs outstanding during 2022 and 2021. (v) Director Deferred Share Unit Plan Onex, the parent company, established a Director DSU Plan in 2004, which allows Onex directors to apply directors’ fees earned to acquire DSUs based on the market value of Onex shares at the time. Grants of DSUs may also be made to Onex directors from time to time. Holders of DSUs are entitled to receive for each DSU, upon redemption, a cash payment equivalent to the market value of an SVS at the redemption date. The DSUs vest immediately, are only redeemable once the holder retires from the Board of Directors and must be redeemed within one year following the year of retirement. Additional units are issued equivalent to the value of any cash dividends that would have been paid on the SVS. To econom- ically hedge Onex’ exposure to changes in the trading price of Onex shares associated with the Director DSU Plan, the Com- pany has entered into forward agreements with counterparty ﬁnancial institutions representing 100% of the grants under the Director DSU Plan at December 31, 2022. Director DSUs are redeemable only for cash and no shares or other secu- rities of Onex will be issued on the exercise, redemption or other settlement thereof. Table 27 on page 49 of this MD&A provides details of the change in the DSUs outstanding during 2022 and 2021. (vi) Stock Option Plan Onex has a Stock Option Plan in place that provides for options and/or share appreciation rights to be granted to Onex directors, ofﬁcers and employees for the acquisition of SVS of Onex, the parent company, for a term not exceeding 10 years. The options vest equally over ﬁve years. The exer- cise price of the options is the market value of the SVS on the business day preceding the day of the grant. Vested options are not exercisable unless the average ﬁve-day market price of Onex SVS is at least 25% greater than the exercise price at the time of exercise. Table 26 on page 48 of this MD&A pro- vides details of the change in the stock options outstanding during 2022 and 2021. (vii) Investment in other investments Members of management and the Board of Directors of Onex can invest limited amounts in partnership with Onex in all acquisitions outside the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds, including co-investment opportunities, at the same time and cost as Onex and other outside investors. During 2022, a total of $4 million (2021 – $18 million) in investments was made by the Onex management team and directors in Incline Aviation Fund II and Unanet (2021 – primarily Incline Aviation Fund II and co-investments for WEG and Imagine Learning). Onex management team and directors’ investments in Onex’ Funds The Onex management team and directors invest mean- ingfully in each operating business acquired by the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds and in strategies managed by Onex Credit. The structure of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds requires management of Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds to invest a minimum of 1% in all acquisitions, with the exception of Onex Partners IV, Onex Partners V, Onex Partners VI, ONCAP IV and ONCAP V, which require a min- imum 2% investment in all acquisitions. This investment includes the minimum “at risk” equity investment associ- ated with management’s carried interest participation, as described on page 56 of this MD&A. The Onex management team and directors have committed to invest 5% of the total capital invested by Onex Partners Funds for new investments completed during 2023, including the minimum “at risk” equity investment. The Onex management team and directors have committed to invest 10% of the total capital invested by the ONCAP Funds for new investments completed during 2023, including the minimum “at risk” equity investment. The Onex manage- ment team and directors invest in any add-on investments in existing businesses pro-rata with their initial investment in the relevant business. The total amount invested during 2022 by the Onex management team and directors in acquisitions and invest- ments completed through the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds was $60 million (2021 – $102 million), and at Decem- ber 31, 2022, investments held by the Onex management team and directors in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds, at fair value, totalled $752 million (December 31, 2021 – $726 million). Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 57 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISIn addition, the Onex management team and directors may invest in strategies and funds managed by Onex Credit. The total amount invested during 2022 by the Onex management team and directors in funds managed by Onex Credit was $41 million (2021 – $177 million), and at December 31, 2022, investments at fair value held by the Onex management team and directors in strategies and funds managed by Onex Credit were approximately $607 million (December 31, 2021 – approximately $605 million). Related-party revenues Onex receives management fees on limited partners’ and clients’ capital within the Onex private equity funds and private credit strategies, and advisory fees directly from certain operating businesses. Onex also receives carried interest from certain Credit strategies and recovers certain deal investigation, research and other expenses from the Onex private equity funds, private credit strategies and the operating businesses of Onex Partners and ONCAP. Onex indirectly controls the Onex private equity funds and pri- vate credit strategies, and therefore the management fees and carried interest earned from these sources represent related-party transactions. Furthermore, Onex indirectly controls, jointly controls or has signiﬁcant influence over certain operating businesses held by the Onex private equity funds, and as such, advisory fees from these operat- ing businesses represent related-party transactions. Gluskin Sheff has agreements to manage its pooled fund vehicles, in which it generally acts as the trustee, man- ager, transfer agent and principal distributor. In the case of those pooled fund vehicles that are limited partnerships, Gluskin Sheff or an afﬁliate of Gluskin Sheff is the General Partner. As such, the Gluskin Sheff pooled fund vehicles are related parties of the Company.

Repurchase of shares During 2021, Onex repurchased 1,100,000 of its SVS that were held indirectly by Mr. Gerald W. Schwartz, Onex’ con- trolling shareholder and CEO, in two private transactions. The shares were repurchased at a weighted average cost of $71.28 (C$90.30) per SVS, or a total cost of $78 million (C$99 million), which represented a discount to the trading price of Onex shares on the dates of the transactions. D I S C L O S U R E C O N T R O L S A N D P R O C E D U R E S A N D I N T E R N A L C O N T R O L S O V E R F I N A N C I A L R E P O R T I N G The Chief Executive Ofﬁcer and the Chief Financial Ofﬁcer have designed, or caused to be designed under their super- vision, internal controls over ﬁnancial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of ﬁnancial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated ﬁnancial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The Chief Executive Ofﬁcer and the Chief Financial Ofﬁcer have also designed, or caused to be designed under their supervision, disclosure controls and procedures to pro- vide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its corporate ﬁlings has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods speciﬁed in securities legislation. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assur- ance that its objectives are met. Due to the inherent limita- tions in all such systems, no evaluation of controls can pro- vide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Accordingly, Onex’ internal controls over ﬁnancial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable, not abso- lute, assurance that the objectives of Onex’ control systems have been met. R I S K E N V I R O N M E N T The Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2022, as ﬁled on SEDAR, and note 24 to the 2022 annual consolidated ﬁnancial statements set out cer- tain risks that could be material to Onex and could have a material adverse effect on Onex’ business, ﬁnancial condi- tion, results of operations and cash flows, and the value of the Company’s shares. The risks described in these docu- ments are not the only risks that may impact the Company’s business, operations and ﬁnancial results. Additional risks not currently known to the Company or that Onex manage- ment currently believes are immaterial when considered across the Company’s investment and asset management activities as a whole may also have a material adverse effect on future business, operations and performance. 60 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISGLOSSARY The following is a list of commonly used terms in Onex’ MD&A and consolidated financial statements and their corresponding definitions. Assets under management (“AUM”) are the assets that Onex manages on behalf of investors, including Onex’ own capital, co-investments and capital invested by the Onex management team, where applicable. Onex’ assets under manage- ment include: (i) The fair value of private equity invested assets and uncalled committed capital to the private equity funds, including Onex’ own uncalled committed capital in excess of cash and cash equivalents, as applicable; (ii) The par value of invested assets and cash available for reinvestment of the collateralized loan obligations; (iii) (iv) The gross invested assets or net asset value of the open-ended Credit Funds. The fair value of gross invested and uncalled commitments in close-ended Credit Funds; and Carried interest is an allocation of part of an investor’s gains to Onex and its management team after the investor has realized a preferred return. CLO warehouse is a leveraged portfolio of credit investments that Onex establishes in anticipation of raising a new CLO. The leverage is typically provided by a ﬁnancial institution that serves as the placement agent for the relevant CLO. The lever- age provided by a ﬁnancial institution may be in the form of a total return swap that transfers the credit and market risk of speciﬁed securities. Onex provides capital to establish the CLO warehouses. Co-investment is a direct investment made by Onex, the Onex management team or other investors alongside a fund. Collateralized Loan Obligation (“CLO”) is a structured investment fund that invests in non-investment grade debt. Interests in these funds are sold in rated and unrated tranches that have rights to the CLO’s collateral and payment streams in descend- ing order of priority. The yield to investors in each tranche decreases as the level of priority increases. Committed capital is the amount contractually committed by limited partners that a fund may call for investments or to pay management fees and other expenses. Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) are synthetic investments made by directors and the Onex management team, where the gain or loss mirrors the performance of the SVS. DSUs may be issued to directors in lieu of director fees and to senior management in lieu of a portion of their annual short-term incentive compensation. Direct Lending strategies are managed by Onex Credit and primarily include mezzanine ﬁnancing, investments in senior secured loans and other loan investments in private equity sponsor-owned portfolio companies and, selectively, other corpo- rate borrowers. Distributable earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP ﬁnancial measure which consists of recurring fee-related earnings (loss), net realized gains (losses) from Onex’ investments and the receipt of carried interest from Onex’ private equity and private credit funds. Fee-generating assets under management (“FG AUM”) are the assets under management on which the Company receives recurring management fees. Fee-related earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP ﬁnancial measure which includes revenues, including unrealized performance fees, and expenses recognized by Onex’ asset management segment and excludes realization-driven carried interest. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 61 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISFully diluted shares are calculated using the treasury stock method and include all outstanding SVS, as well as outstanding stock options where Onex’ share price exceeds the exercise price of the stock options. General Partner is a partner that determines most of the actions of a partnership and can legally bind the partnership. The General Partners of Onex-sponsored funds are Onex-controlled subsidiaries. Gross internal rate of return (“Gross IRR”) is the annualized percentage return achieved on an investment or fund, taking time into consideration. This measure does not reflect a limited partner’s return since it is calculated without deducting carried interest, management fees, taxes and expenses. Gross multiple of capital (“Gross MOC”) is an investment’s or fund’s total value divided by the capital that has been invested. This measure does not reflect a limited partner’s multiple of capital since it is calculated without deducting carried interest, management fees, taxes and expenses. Hurdle or preferred return is the minimum return required from an investment or fund before entitlement to payments under the MIP, carried interest or performance fees. International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) are a set of standards adopted by Onex to determine accounting policies for the consolidated ﬁnancial statements that were formulated by the International Accounting Standards Board and allow for comparability and consistency across businesses. As a publicly listed entity in Canada, Onex is required to report under IFRS. Investing capital represents Onex’ investing assets that are invested in private equity, private credit strategies and treasury investments, as well as cash and cash equivalents, and near-cash available for investing. Investing capital is determined on the same basis as Onex’ total investing segment assets. Investing capital per share is Onex’ investing capital divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding. Limited partner is an investor whose liability is generally limited to the extent of their share of the partnership. Liquid Strategies are managed by Onex Credit and primarily hold investments in public equities, liquid credit and ﬁrst-lien senior secured loans. Management incentive programs include: (i) for all investments completed prior to 2020 and excluding all Onex Partners V investments, the management investment plan (“MIP”) required Onex management team members to invest in each of the operating businesses acquired or invested in by Onex. In addition to this required investment, management was allocated 12% of Onex’ realized gain from an operating business investment, subject to certain conditions. In particular, Onex must realize the full return of its investment plus a net 15% internal rate of return from the investment in order for management to be allocated the additional gain on Onex’ investment. The MIP also has vesting requirements, certain limitations and voting requirements; (ii) the Onex Partners carried interest program, which allocates 60% of the carried interest realized in the Onex Partners Funds to management of Onex Partners. Management of Onex Partners is also entitled to a carried interest of 12% of the realized net gains from Onex capital in Onex Partners V and Onex Partners VI, subject to an 8% compounded annual preferred return to Onex on amounts contributed to the fund; (iii) the ONCAP carried interest program, which allocates to the management of ONCAP 60% of the carried interest realized in the ONCAP Funds and an equivalent carried interest on Onex’ capital in the ONCAP Funds; and (iv) the Credit carried interest program, which entitles the management of Onex Falcon to 80% of the 62 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIScarried interest realized in Onex Falcon VI and substantially all of the carried interest realized on other existing Onex Falcon Funds up to December 31, 2020. The Credit management team is allocated 50% of the carried interest realized on Onex Falcon Funds launched after December 31, 2020 and most other Credit Funds which are eligible for carried interest. Multiple Voting Shares of Onex are the controlling class of shares, which entitle Mr. Gerald W. Schwartz to elect 60% of Onex’ directors and to 60% of the total shareholder vote on most matters. The shares have no entitlement to distribution on wind-up or dissolution above their nominal paid-in value and do not participate in dividends or earnings. Near-cash represents investment holdings in readily marketable investments that can be converted to cash in an orderly market. In addition, near-cash also includes management fees and recoverable fund expenses receivable from certain funds, and subscription ﬁnancing receivable from certain Credit Funds attributable to third-party investors. Net internal rate of return (“Net IRR”) is the annualized percentage return earned by the limited partners of a fund, exclud- ing Onex as a limited partner, after the deduction of carried interest, management fees, taxes and expenses, taking time into consideration. Normal Course Issuer Bid(s) (“NCIB” or the “Bids”) is an annual program approved by the Board of Directors that enables Onex to repurchase SVS for cancellation. ONCAP Group represents Onex, the limited partners of the relevant ONCAP Fund, the Onex management team and, where applicable, certain other limited partners as co-investors. ONEX or the Company represents Onex Corporation. ONEX is the share symbol for Onex Corporation on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Onex Partners Group represents Onex, the limited partners of the relevant Onex Partners Fund, the Onex management team and, where applicable, certain other limited partners as co-investors. Opportunistic Credit Strategies are managed by Onex Credit and primarily hold investments in ﬁrst-lien senior secured loans, second-lien loans, bonds, trade claims, credit default swaps and other debt investments having similar characteristics. Performance fees include performance allocations and are generated on high net worth clients’ and institutional investors’ capital managed by Onex Credit, some of which are subject to a hurdle or preferred return to investors. Run-rate management fees refer to a forward-looking calculation representing management fees that would be earned over a 12-month period based on the annual management fee rates and the basis or method of calculation in place at period end. Structured Credit Strategies are managed by Onex Credit and primarily hold investments in CLOs. Subordinate Voting Shares (“SVS”) are the non-controlling share capital of Onex. SVS shareholders are entitled to elect 40% of Onex’ directors and to 40% of the total shareholder vote on most matters. These shares are the only class of stock that eco- nomically participates in Onex Corporation. The SVS trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 63 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISMANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying consolidated ﬁnancial statements have been prepared by management, reviewed by the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. Management is responsible for the information and representations contained in these consolidated ﬁnancial statements. The Company maintains appropriate processes to ensure that relevant and reliable ﬁnancial information is produced. The consolidated ﬁnancial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The signiﬁcant accounting policies which management believes are appropriate for the Company are described in note 1 to the consolidated ﬁnancial statements. The Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated ﬁnancial statements and oversee- ing management’s performance of its ﬁnancial reporting responsibilities. An Audit and Corporate Governance Committee of non-management independent directors is appointed by the Board of Directors. The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the consolidated ﬁnancial statements, adequacy of internal controls, audit process and ﬁnancial reporting with management and with the external auditors. The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee reports to the Board of Directors prior to the approval of the audited consolidated ﬁnancial statements for publication. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s external auditors, who are appointed by the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares, audited the consolidated ﬁnancial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing stan- dards to enable them to express to the shareholders their opinion on the consolidated ﬁnancial statements. Their report is set out on the following pages. [signed] [signed] Christopher A. Govan Chief Financial Ofﬁcer February 23, 2023 Derek C. Mackay Managing Director, Finance 64 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Shareholders of Onex Corporation Our opinion In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated ﬁnancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the ﬁnancial position of Onex Corporation and its subsidiaries (together, the Company) as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its ﬁnan- cial performance and its cash ﬂows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS). What we have audited The Company’s consolidated ﬁnancial statements comprise: • the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2022 and 2021; • the consolidated statements of earnings for the years then ended; • the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings for the years then ended; • the consolidated statements of equity for the years then ended; • the consolidated statements of cash ﬂows for the years then ended; and • the notes to the consolidated ﬁnancial statements, which include signiﬁcant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated ﬁnancial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufﬁcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consoli- dated ﬁnancial statements in Canada. We have fulﬁlled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most signiﬁcance in our audit of the consolidat- ed ﬁnancial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated ﬁnancial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 65 Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Valuation of the non-public equity investments underlying corporate investments Our approach to addressing the matter involved the following procedures, amongst others: Refer to note 1 – Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies, note 5 – Corporate Investments and note 23 – Fair Value Measurements to the consolidated financial statements. • Tested management’s process of estimating the fair values of non-public equity investments underlying corporate invest- ments by: Corporate investments of $10,875 million as at December 31, 2022 represent the Company’s investments in its Investment Holding Companies, which are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net earnings (loss). The fair value measurement of the Investment Holding Companies utilized the adjusted net asset method to derive the fair values, by reference to the underlying fair value of the Investment Hold- ing Companies’ assets and liabilities. The measurement of the Investment Holding Companies is sig- nificantly impacted by the fair values of the underlying non-public equity investments held by the Investment Holding Companies directly or indirectly. The valuation of the underlying non-pub- lic equity investments requires significant judgment. For these investments, management used valuation methodologies such as discounted cash flow and the comparable company valua- tion multiple technique. Management used its own assumptions regarding unobservable inputs, where there is little, if any, mar- ket activity in the underlying investments or related observable inputs that can be corroborated as at the measurement date. For a discounted cash flow analysis, the assumptions included unlevered free cash flows, specifically the timing of earnings projections and the expected long-term revenue growth, the weighted average costs of capital (WACC) and the exit multiples. For the comparable company valuation multiple technique, the assumptions included estimated adjusted earnings before inter- est, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA multiples. We considered this a key audit matter due to the significant judg- ments used by management when determining the fair values of the non-public equity investments and the high degree of com- plexity in assessing audit evidence related to the assumptions made by management. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge in the field of valuation. – testing the appropriateness of the methodologies used by management; – evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions related to unlevered free cash flows including the timing of earn- ings projections and expected long-term revenue growth, and adjusted EBITDA by considering the current and past performance of the particular investment; – agreeing certain data included in the unlevered free cash flows and adjusted EBITDA used in the valuations to confirmations obtained independently from the particular investments’ management teams; – evaluating the ability of management to estimate budgeted unlevered free cash flows and adjusted EBITDA by assessing management’s comparison of actual results to the budgeted unlevered free cash flows and adjusted EBITDA used in the prior year valuations; – utilizing professionals with specialized skill and knowledge in the field of valuation to assist in assessing the reason- ability of the adjusted EBITDA multiples, the WACC and exit multiples; and – testing the mathematical accuracy of the valuations. • Tested the disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements, particularly with regard to the sensitivity of the WACC, exit multiples and adjusted EBITDA multiples assump- tions used. 66 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 Other information Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the information, other than the consolidated ﬁnancial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, included in the annual report. Our opinion on the consolidated ﬁnancial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated ﬁnancial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information iden- tiﬁed above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated ﬁnancial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated ﬁnancial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated ﬁnancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated ﬁnancial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s ﬁnancial reporting process. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated ﬁnancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Rea- sonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to inﬂuence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated ﬁnancial statements. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 67 As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated ﬁnancial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufﬁcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit ev- idence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast signiﬁcant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated ﬁnancial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated ﬁnancial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated ﬁnancial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufﬁcient appropriate audit evidence regarding the ﬁnancial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated ﬁnancial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervi- sion and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and signiﬁcant audit ﬁndings, including any signiﬁcant deﬁciencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 68 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most signiﬁ- cance in the audit of the consolidated ﬁnancial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest beneﬁts of such communication.

Onex invests in its two private equity platforms: Onex Partners for middle-market and larger transactions and ONCAP for middle- market and smaller transactions. Onex is currently investing through Onex Partners V, a $7,150 fund raised in November 2017, and ONCAP IV, a $1,107 fund raised in November 2016. Onex also invests in private credit strategies, which primarily consist of non-investment grade debt in collateralized loan obligations, and structured, opportunistic and direct lending strategies. Throughout these statements, the terms “Onex” and the “Company” refer to Onex Corporation, the ultimate parent company. Onex is a Canadian corporation domiciled in Canada and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol ONEX. Onex’ shares are traded in Canadian dollars. The registered address for Onex is 161 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario. Mr. Gerald W. Schwartz controls Onex through his ownership of all outstanding Multiple Voting Shares of the corporation. Mr. Schwartz also indirectly held 13% of the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares of Onex at December 31, 2022. All amounts included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 23, 2023. 1.

These consolidated ﬁnancial statements were prepared on a going concern basis. The U.S. dollar is Onex’ functional currency and the ﬁnancial statements have been reported on a U.S. dollar basis. B A S I S O F P R E S E N TAT I O N Throughout the notes to the consolidated ﬁnancial statements, investments and investing activity of Onex’ capital primarily re- late to its private equity funds, private credit strategies and cer- tain investments held outside the private equity funds and private credit strategies. These investments are held directly or indirectly through wholly-owned subsidiaries of Onex, which are referred to as Investment Holding Companies. While there are a number of Investment Holding Companies, these companies primarily consist of direct or indirect subsidiaries of Onex Private Equity Holdings LLC, Onex CLO Holdings LLC or Onex Credit Holdings LLC. These three companies, which are referred to as the Primary Investment Holding Companies, are the holding companies for the majority of Onex’ investments, excluding intercompany loans receivable from Onex and the Asset Managers, as deﬁned below. The Primary Investment Holding Companies were formed in the United States. Asset management refers to the activity of managing capital in Onex’ private equity funds, private credit strategies and liquid strategies. This activity is conducted through wholly-owned subsidiaries of Onex, which are the managers of the Onex Part- ners Funds, ONCAP Funds and Credit strategies. These subsidiar- ies are referred to as Onex’ Asset Managers and are consolidated by Onex. The Credit platform includes a broad spectrum of private credit, liquid credit and public equity strategies that are managed by the Onex Credit team. References to an Onex Partners Group represent Onex, the limited partners of the relevant Onex Partners Fund, the Onex management team and, where applicable, certain other limited partners as co-investors. References to an ONCAP Group represent Onex, the limited partners of the relevant ONCAP Fund, the Onex management team and, where applicable, certain other limited partners as co-investors. 74 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 Onex meets the deﬁnition of an investment entity, as deﬁned by IFRS 10, Consolidated financial statements (“IFRS 10”). As a result, Onex’ investments in its subsidiaries that do not provide invest– ment-related services are accounted for as corporate investments at fair value through net earnings (loss). The Company has also performed an assessment to de- termine which of its subsidiaries are investment entities, as deﬁned under IFRS 10. When performing this assessment, the Company considered the subsidiaries’ current business purpose along with the business purpose of the subsidiaries’ direct and indirect invest- ments. The Company has concluded that the Primary Investment Holding Companies meet the deﬁnition of an investment entity. Throughout these consolidated ﬁnancial statements, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Onex that are recognized at fair value are referred to as Investment Holding Companies. Investment Hold- ing Companies include subsidiaries determined to be investment entities under IFRS 10, and all other subsidiaries that do not provide investment-related services. The simpliﬁed diagram below illustrates the types of subsidiaries included within Onex’ corporate structure and the basis on which they are accounted for.

For such operations, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at historical exchange rates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the relevant period of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses also arise on the settlement of foreign-currency denominated transactions. These exchange gains and losses are recognized in net earnings (loss). The functional currency of Gluskin Sheff is the Canadi- an dollar and as such, the assets and liabilities of Gluskin Sheff are translated into U.S. dollars using the year-end exchange rate. Rev- enues and expenses of Gluskin Sheff are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the relevant period of the transac- tion. Gains and losses arising from the translation of Gluskin Sheff’s ﬁnancial results are deferred in the currency translation account included in equity. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include liquid investments such as term deposits, money market instruments and commercial paper with original maturities of less than three months. These investments are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Treasury investments Treasury investments include commercial paper, federal debt in- struments, corporate obligations and structured products. Trea- sury investments are measured at fair value through net earnings (loss) in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial instruments (“IFRS 9”). Purchases and sales of treasury investments are recog- nized on the settlement date of the transactions. Management and advisory fees, recoverable fund expenses and other receivables Management and advisory fees receivable represent amounts owing to Onex and the Asset Managers from the Onex private equity funds, private credit strategies, Gluskin Sheff pooled fund vehicles and certain operating companies of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. Recoverable fund expenses include amounts owing to the Asset Managers from the Onex private equity funds, private credit strategies and certain operating companies of the Onex private eq- uity funds related to certain deal investigation, research and other expenses incurred by the Asset Managers which are recoverable at cost. The Company’s receivables are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. The Company recognizes a loss allowance for receivables based on the 12-month expected credit losses for receivables that have not had a signiﬁcant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. For receivables with a credit risk that has signiﬁcantly increased since initial recognition, the Company records a loss allowance based on the lifetime expected credit losses. Signiﬁcant ﬁnancial difﬁculties of the counterparty and default in payments are considered indi- cators that the credit risk associated with a receivable balance may have changed since initial recognition. Corporate investments Corporate investments include Onex’ investments in its subsidiar- ies, primarily consisting of Investment Holding Companies, that meet the investment entity exception to consolidation criteria un- der IFRS 10. These subsidiaries primarily invest Onex’ capital in the Onex Partners Funds, ONCAP Funds and certain private credit strategies. Corporate investments are measured at fair value through net earnings (loss) in accordance with IFRS 9. The fair value of cor- porate investments includes the fair value of both intercompany loans receivable from and payable to Onex and the Asset Managers. In addition, the fair value of corporate investments includes Onex’ portion of the carried interest earned on investments made by the Onex Partners Funds and ONCAP Funds, and the liability associated with management incentive programs, including the Management Investment Plan (the “MIP”), as described in note 26(f). The majority of the Company’s corporate investments, ex- cluding intercompany loans, consisted of investments made in the Primary Investment Holding Companies. Leases Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use, with the exception of leases of low-value assets and leases with a term of 12 months or less, which are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense. Each lease payment is allocated between the repayment of the lease liability and ﬁnance cost. The ﬁnance cost is charged to the consolidated statements of earnings over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability for each period. The right- of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Right-of-use assets are included within property and equipment in the consolidated balance sheets. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 77 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSProperty and equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and provisions for impairment, if any. Cost consists of expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the as- set. Subsequent expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while costs related to betterments and im- provements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Amortization is provided for other property and equipment on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Aircraft up to 20 years Leasehold improvements up to the term of the lease Furniture and equipment up to 10 years When components of an asset have a signiﬁcantly different useful life or residual value than the primary asset, the components are amortized separately. Residual values, useful lives and methods of amortization are reviewed at each ﬁscal year end and adjusted pro- spectively as required. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Judgement is required in deter- mining whether events or changes in circumstances are indicators that a review for impairment should be conducted. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of an asset or cash gen- erating unit (“CGU”) exceeds the recoverable amount. The recover- able amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use or its fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses for property and equipment are re- versed in future periods if the circumstances that led to the impair- ment no longer exist. The reversal is limited to restoring the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized in prior periods. Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill and intangible assets are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition of the related subsidiary or at cost if purchased. Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the fair value of any contingent consid- eration, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired company and, for a business combination achieved in stages, the fair value at the acquisition date of the Company’s previous- ly held interest in the acquired company compared to the net fair value of the identiﬁable assets and liabilities acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if conditions exist which indicate that goodwill may be 78 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 impaired. After initial recognition, goodwill is recorded at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets that are not amortized are also tested for impairment annually, or more fre- quently if conditions exist which indicate that the intangible assets may be impaired. Intangible assets that are amortized are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances sug- gest that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Judgement is required in determining whether events or changes in circumstances during the year are indicators that a review for im- pairment should be conducted prior to the annual impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets that are not amortized. For the purposes of impairment testing at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, goodwill was allocated to the CGU of the Onex Credit platform as goodwill is monitored by management at this level following the integration of the investment manage- ment functions of Gluskin Sheff and Falcon Investment Advisors, LLC (“Falcon” or “Onex Falcon”) with the Onex Credit platform during 2021. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the level where goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The de- termination of CGUs and the level at which goodwill is monitored requires judgement by management. The carrying amount of a CGU or a group of CGUs is compared to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its value in use or fair value less costs to sell, to de- termine if an impairment exists. Impairment losses for goodwill are not reversed in future periods. Impairment losses for intangible as- sets are reversed in future periods if the circumstances that led to the impairment no longer exist. The reversal is limited to restoring the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amor- tization, had no impairment loss been recognized in prior periods. Amortization is provided for intangible assets with a limited life on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: Client relationships and asset management contracts Trade names up to 15 years up to 10 years Residual values, useful lives and methods of amortization are re- viewed at each ﬁscal year end and adjusted prospectively as required. Intercompany loans with Investment Holding Companies Intercompany loans payable to the Investment Holding Compa- nies represent ﬁnancial liabilities that are payable to subsidiaries of Onex, which are recorded at fair value in the consolidated ﬁnancial statements. Intercompany loans receivable from the Investment Holding Companies are classiﬁed as corporate investments and represent loans receivable from subsidiaries of Onex, which are re- corded at fair value in the consolidated ﬁnancial statements. Onex has elected to measure these ﬁnancial instruments at fair value through net earnings (loss) in accordance with IFRS 9. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSIncome taxes Income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method of income tax allocation. Under this method, assets and liabilities are recorded for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the ﬁnancial statement carrying values of as- sets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and on tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that taxable proﬁt will be avail- able against which the deductible temporary differences, as well as tax loss and tax credit carryforwards, can be utilized. These deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded using substantive- ly enacted income tax rates. The effect of a change in income tax rates on these deferred income tax assets or liabilities is included in net earnings (loss) in the period in which the rate change occurs. Certain of these differences are estimated based on current tax leg- islation and the Company’s interpretation thereof. Income tax expense or recovery is based on the income earned or loss incurred in each tax jurisdiction and the enacted or substantively enacted tax rate applicable to that income or loss. Tax expense or recovery is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the tax effect is also recognized in equity. Deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries are recognized, except when the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differ- ences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. The ﬁnal tax out- come of these matters may be different from the judgements and estimates originally made by the Company in determining its in- come tax provisions. The Company periodically evaluates the posi- tions taken with respect to situations in which applicable tax rules and regulations are subject to interpretation. Provisions related to tax uncertainties are established where appropriate based on the most likely amount or expected value that will ultimately be paid to or received from tax authorities. Accrued interest and penalties relating to tax uncertainties are recorded in current income tax expense in accordance with IAS 12, Income Taxes. Note 15 provides further details on income taxes. Revenue recognition Revenues from management fees, advisory fees, performance fees, carried interest from Credit Funds and the reimbursement of ex- penses from investment funds and the private equity operating businesses are recognized using the following ﬁve-step model in accordance with IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers (“IFRS 15”): 1) identify the contract or contracts with the client; 2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisﬁed, collection of consideration is probable and control of the good or service has been transferred to the client. The transaction price represents the amount of consider- ation that the Company expects to be entitled to and may include variable components such as performance fees, performance allocations and carried interest from the Credit Funds. Management estimates the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price to the extent that it is highly probable that a signiﬁcant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue rec- ognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. This estimate is updated at each reporting date until the uncertainty is resolved. The Company transfers the beneﬁt of its services to clients and limited partners as it performs the asset management services, and therefore satisﬁes its performance obligations over time. A receivable is recognized when the transfer of control for services to a client occurs prior to the client paying consideration, if the right to the consideration is unconditional. A contract liability is recognized when the client’s payment of consideration precedes the completion of a performance obligation. Revenue recognition requires management to make cer- tain judgements and estimates, including the identiﬁcation of per- formance obligations, the allocation and amount of the transaction price, and the collectability of cash consideration. The signiﬁcant revenue recognition streams of the Company are as follows: Management and advisory fees Onex earns management fees for managing investor capital through its private equity funds, private credit strategies and public strategies. Onex earns advisory fees for services provided directly to certain underlying operating businesses of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. Asset management services are provided over time, and the amount earned is generally calculated based on a percent- age of limited partners’ committed capital, limited partners’ net funded commitments, unfunded commitments, the collateral prin- cipal balance, invested capital, gross invested assets, net asset value or assets under management of the respective strategies. Revenues earned from management and advisory fees are recognized over time as services are provided. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 79 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSPerformance fees Performance fees are recognized as revenue to the extent the fees are highly probable to not reverse, which is typically at the end of each performance year, or upon closure of a client account or trans- fer of assets to a different investment model. Performance fees associated with the management of public strategies are comprised of performance fees and perfor- mance allocations. Performance fees are determined by applying an agreed-upon formula to the growth in the net asset value of clients’ assets under management. Performance allocations are allocated to the Company as a General Partner of certain public strategy funds. Performance fees associated with capital managed by Onex Credit range between 10% and 20% and may be subject to performance hurdles. Carried interest – Credit Funds The General Partners of the Credit Funds are entitled to a carried interest of up to 20% on the realized net gains from limited part- ners in certain private credit funds, subject to a hurdle or minimum preferred return to investors. The Onex Falcon management team is allocated the entire carried interest for Onex Falcon Funds acquired with Onex Falcon in December 2020, with the exception of Private Credit Opportunities Fund VI (“Onex Falcon VI”), where Onex Fal- con management is entitled to approximately 80% of the carried interest and Onex’ entitlement is approximately 20%. In most other cases, the Onex Credit management team is allocated 50% of the carried interest from other private credit funds and Onex is enti- tled to the remaining 50% of the carried interest realized from the private credit investments. Carried interest earned by Onex from the Credit Funds is recognized as revenue to the extent it is highly probable to not re- verse, which typically occurs when the investments held by a given fund are substantially realized, toward the end of the fund’s term. Reimbursement of expenses from investment funds and operating businesses Certain deal investigation, research and other expenses incurred by the Asset Managers are recoverable at cost from the Onex pri- vate equity funds, private credit strategies and certain operating businesses of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. These expense reimbursements are recognized as revenue in accordance with IFRS 15. Stock-based compensation The Company follows the fair value method of accounting for all stock-based compensation plans, which include the following: 1) The Company’s Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) provides that in certain situations the Company has the right, but not the obliga- tion, to settle any exercisable option under the Plan by the pay- ment of cash to the option holder. The Company has recorded a liability for the potential future settlement of the vested options at the balance sheet date by reference to the fair value of the lia- bility. The liability is adjusted each reporting period for changes in the fair value of the options, with the corresponding amount reflected in the consolidated statements of earnings. 2) The Company’s Director Deferred Share Unit Plan (“Director DSU Plan”) entitles the holder to receive, upon redemption, a cash payment equivalent to the market value of a Subordinate Voting Share (“SVS”) at the redemption date. The Director DSU Plan enables Onex directors to apply directors’ fees earned to acquire Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) based on the market value of Onex shares at the time. Grants of DSUs may also be made to Onex directors from time to time. The DSUs vest imme- diately, are redeemable only when the holder retires and must be redeemed within one year following the year of retirement. Addi- tional units are issued for any cash dividends paid on the SVS. The Company has recorded a liability for the future settlement of the DSUs by reference to the value of the underlying SVS at the balance sheet date. On a quarterly basis, the liability is adjusted for the change in the market value of the underlying shares, with the corresponding amount reflected in the consolidated state- ments of earnings. To economically hedge a portion of the Com- pany’s exposure to changes in the trading price of Onex shares, the Company enters into forward agreements with counterparty ﬁnancial institutions. The change in value of the forward agree- ments will be recorded to partially offset the amounts recorded as stock-based compensation under the Director DSU Plan. Director DSUs are redeemable only for cash and no shares or other securities of Onex will be issued on the exercise, redemp- tion or other settlement thereof. 3) The Company’s Management Deferred Share Unit Plan (“Man- agement DSU Plan”) enables the Onex management team to apply all or a portion of their annual compensation earned to acquire DSUs based on the market value of Onex shares at the time in lieu of cash. Holders of DSUs are entitled to receive for each DSU, upon redemption, a cash payment equivalent to the market value of an SVS at the redemption date. The DSUs vest immediately, are only redeemable once the holder ceases to be an ofﬁcer or employee of the Company or an afﬁliate, and must be redeemed by the end of the year following the year the holder ceases to be an ofﬁcer or employee of the Company or an afﬁliate. Additional units are issued equivalent to the value of any cash dividends that would have been paid on the SVS. 80 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe Company has recorded a liability for the future settlement of the DSUs by reference to the value of the underlying SVS at the balance sheet date. On a quarterly basis, the liability is adjusted for the change in the market value of the underlying shares, with the corresponding amount reflected in the consolidated state- ments of earnings. To economically hedge the Company’s expo- sure to changes in the trading price of Onex shares associated with the Management DSU Plan, the Company enters into for- ward agreements with counterparty ﬁnancial institutions for all grants under the Management DSU Plan. As such, the change in value of the forward agreements will be recorded to offset the amounts recorded as stock-based compensation under the Management DSU Plan. The administrative costs of those arrangements are borne by participants in the plan. Manage- ment DSUs are redeemable only for cash and no shares or other securities of Onex will be issued on the exercise, redemption or other settlement thereof. Financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets and ﬁnancial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently accounted for based on their classi- ﬁcation, as described below. Transaction costs in respect of an asset or liability not recorded at fair value through net earnings (loss) are added to the initial carrying amount. Gains and losses on ﬁnancial instruments recognized through net earnings (loss) are primarily recognized in net gain (loss) on corporate investments and interest and net treasury investment income in the consolidated statements of earnings. The classiﬁcation of ﬁnancial assets depends on the business model for managing the ﬁnancial assets and the contrac- tual terms of the cash flows. The classiﬁcation of ﬁnancial liabili- ties depends on the purpose for which the ﬁnancial liabilities were incurred and their characteristics. Except in very limited circum- stances, the classiﬁcation of ﬁnancial assets and ﬁnancial liabilities is not changed subsequent to initial recognition. a) Financial assets – amortized cost Financial assets with the following characteristics are accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method: • The ﬁnancial asset is held within a business model whose objec- tive is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows; and The contractual terms of the ﬁnancial asset give rise on speci- ﬁed dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. • The Company recognizes loss allowances for ﬁnancial assets ac- counted for at amortized cost based on the ﬁnancial assets’ expect- ed credit losses, which are assessed on a forward-looking basis. b) Financial assets – fair value through net earnings (loss) Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through net earnings (loss). Financial assets may also be designated as fair value through net earnings (loss) on initial rec- ognition if doing so eliminates or signiﬁcantly reduces a measure- ment or recognition inconsistency. Intercompany loans receivable from Investment Holding Companies, which are presented within Corporate Investments, are designated as fair value through net earnings (loss). c) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through net earnings (loss) Financial liabilities that are incurred with the intention of generat- ing earnings in the near term are classiﬁed as fair value through net earnings (loss). Other ﬁnancial liabilities may be designated as fair value through net earnings (loss) on initial recognition if doing so eliminates or signiﬁcantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency, or the group of ﬁnancial liabilities is managed, and its performance is evaluated, on a fair value basis. Intercompany loans payable to Investment Holding Companies are designated as fair value through net earnings (loss). d) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost Financial liabilities not classiﬁed as fair value through net earnings (loss) are accounted for at amortized cost using the effective inter- est rate method. e) Interest income Interest income recognized by the Company primarily relates to interest earned from investments recognized at fair value through net earnings (loss). Derecognition of financial instruments A ﬁnancial asset is derecognized if substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and, in certain circumstances, control of the ﬁnancial asset are transferred. A ﬁnancial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, with any gain or loss on extinguishment rec- ognized in other expense in the consolidated statements of earnings. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 81 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContingent consideration Contingent consideration is established for business acquisitions where the Company has the obligation to transfer additional assets or equity interests to the former owners if speciﬁed future events occur or conditions are met. The fair value of contingent consider- ation liabilities is typically based on the estimated future ﬁnancial performance of the acquired business. Financial targets used in the estimation process include certain deﬁned ﬁnancial targets and internal rates of return. Contingent consideration is classiﬁed as a liability when the obligation requires settlement in cash or other assets, and as equity when the obligation requires settlement in own equity instruments. Contingent consideration classiﬁed as a liability is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized through net earnings (loss). Contingent con- sideration recorded in Onex’ consolidated balance sheets at Decem- ber 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is related to the acquisition of Falcon Investment Advisors by Onex in December 2020. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average num- ber of SVS outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method, which includes the impact of converting certain limited partnership units of an Onex subsidiary into 144,579 Onex SVS, and excludes the impact of converting outstanding stock options into Onex SVS, given Onex accounts for the liability associated with outstanding stock options issued under its Stock Option Plan as a liability at fair value through net earnings (loss). Dividend distributions Dividend distributions to the shareholders of Onex Corporation are recognized as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets in the periods in which the dividends are declared and authorized by the Board of Directors. Use of judgements and estimates The preparation of ﬁnancial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assump- tions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and equity, the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the ﬁnancial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue, expenses and gains (losses) on ﬁnancial instruments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. Estimates and underly- ing assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Areas that involve critical judgements, assumptions and estimates and that have a signiﬁcant influence on the amounts recognized in the consolidated ﬁnancial statements are further described as follows: Investment entity status Judgement is required when determining whether Onex, the parent company, meets the deﬁnition of an investment entity, which IFRS 10 deﬁnes as an entity that: (i) obtains funds from one or more in- vestors for the purpose of providing those investors with investment management services; (ii) commits to its investors that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital apprecia- tion, investment income or both; and (iii) measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair val- ue basis. When determining whether Onex met the deﬁnition of an investment entity under IFRS 10, Onex management applied signiﬁ- cant judgement when assessing whether the Company measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis. Onex management also considered the impact of acquisitions made by the Company when determining whether Onex met the deﬁnition of an investment entity under IFRS 10. Onex conducts its business primarily through controlled subsidiaries, which consist of entities providing asset management services, investment holding companies and General Partners of private equity funds, credit funds and limited partnerships. Cer- tain of these subsidiaries were formed for legal, regulatory or sim- ilar reasons by Onex and share a common business purpose. The assessment of whether Onex, the parent company, meets the deﬁ- nition of an investment entity was performed on an aggregate basis with these subsidiaries. Corporate investments The measurement of corporate investments is signiﬁcantly impact- ed by the fair values of the investments held by the Onex Partners Funds, ONCAP Funds, private equity investments held directly by Onex and investments in private credit strategies. The fair value of corporate investments is assessed at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized through net earnings (loss). The valuation of the underlying non-public investments requires signiﬁcant judgement due to the absence of quoted mar- ket values, the inherent lack of liquidity, the long-term nature of such investments and heightened market uncertainty as a result of global inflationary pressures, increasing interest rates, heightened geopolitical risks and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Val- uation methodologies include discounted cash flows and observa- tions of the valuation multiples implied by precedent transactions or trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued. Key assumptions made in the valuations include unlevered free cash flows, including the timing 82 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSof earnings projections and the expected long-term revenue growth, the weighted average costs of capital and the exit multiples. The val- uations take into consideration company-speciﬁc items, the lack of liquidity inherent in a non-public investment and the fact that precedent transactions and comparable public companies are not identical to the companies being valued. Such considerations are necessary since, in the absence of a committed buyer and comple- tion of due diligence procedures, there may be company-speciﬁc items which are not fully known that may affect the fair value. A vari- ety of additional factors are reviewed, including, but not limited to, ﬁnancing and sales transactions with third parties, current operating performance and future expectations of the particular investment, changes in market outlook and the third-party ﬁnancing environ- ment. In determining changes to the fair value of the underlying private equity investments, emphasis is placed on current company performance and market conditions. For publicly traded investments, the valuation is based on closing market prices less adjustments, if any, for regulatory sale restrictions. The fair value of underlying investments in private cred- it strategies that are not quoted in an active market may be deter- mined by using reputable pricing sources (such as pricing agencies) or indicative prices from bond/debt market makers. Broker quotes as obtained from the pricing sources may be indicative and not exe- cutable or binding. Judgement and estimates are used to determine the quantity and quality of the pricing sources used. Where limit- ed or no market data is available, positions may be valued using models that include the use of third-party pricing information, and are usually based on valuation methods and techniques generally recognized as standard within the industry. Models use observable data to the extent practicable. However, areas such as credit risk (both own and counterparty), volatilities and correlations may re- quire estimates to be made. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of the underlying invest- ments in private credit strategies. Management incentive programs are included in the fair value of corporate investments and are determined using an in- ternally developed valuation model. The critical assumptions and estimates used in the valuation model include the fair value of the underlying investments, the time to expected exit from each invest- ment, a risk-free rate of return and an industry-comparable histor- ical volatility for each investment. The fair value of the underlying investments includes the same critical assumptions and estimates previously described. Corporate investments are measured with signiﬁcant unobservable inputs (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy), which are further described in note 23. The changes in fair value of corporate investments are further described in note 5. The Company assessed whether its underlying subsidiaries met the deﬁnition of an investment entity, as deﬁned under IFRS 10. In cer- tain circumstances, this assessment was performed together with other entities that were formed in connection with each other for legal, regulatory or similar reasons. Similarly, where a subsidiary’s current business purpose is to facilitate a common purpose with a group of entities, the assessment of whether those subsidiaries met the deﬁnition of an investment entity was performed on an aggre- gated basis. Certain subsidiaries were formed for various business purposes that, in certain circumstances, have evolved since their formation. When the Company assessed whether these subsid- iaries met the deﬁnition of an investment entity, as deﬁned under IFRS 10, professional judgement was exercised to determine the primary business purpose of these subsidiaries and the measure- ment basis, which were signiﬁcant factors in determining their in- vestment entity status. Goodwill impairment tests and recoverability of assets The Company tests at least annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with its accounting policies. The de- termination of the recoverable amount of a CGU to which goodwill is allocated involves the use of estimates by management. The Compa- ny generally uses discounted cash flow-based models to determine these values. These discounted cash flow calculations typically use ﬁve-year projections that are based on the operating plans approved by management. Cash flow projections take into account past expe- rience and represent management’s best estimate of future develop- ments. Cash flows after the planning period are extrapolated using estimated growth rates. Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of fair value less costs to sell and value in use include estimated growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and tax rates. These estimates, including the methodology used, can have a material impact on the respective values and ultimately the amount of any goodwill impairment. Likewise, whenever property, equipment and other intangible assets are tested for impairment, the determination of the assets’ recoverable amount involves the use of estimates by management, and can have a material impact on the respective values and ultimately the amount of any impairment. Income and other taxes The Company operates and earns income in various countries and is subject to changing tax laws or application of tax laws in multiple jurisdictions within these countries. Signiﬁcant judgement is nec- essary in determining worldwide income and other tax liabilities. Although management believes that it has made reasonable esti- mates about the ﬁnal outcome of tax uncertainties, no assurance can be given that the outcome of these tax matters will be consis- tent with what is reflected in historical income tax provisions. Such differences could have an effect on income and other tax liabilities and deferred tax liabilities in the period in which such determina- tions are made. At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 83 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSwhether the realization of future tax beneﬁts is sufﬁciently probable to recognize deferred tax assets. This assessment requires the exer- cise of judgement on the part of management with respect to, among other things, beneﬁts that could be realized from available tax strate- gies and future taxable income, as well as other positive and negative factors. The recorded amount of total deferred tax assets could be reduced if estimates of projected future taxable income and beneﬁts from available tax strategies are lowered, or if changes in current tax regulations are enacted that impose restrictions on the timing or extent of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax beneﬁts. The Company uses signiﬁcant judgement when deter- mining whether to recognize deferred tax liabilities with respect to taxable temporary differences associated with corporate invest- ments, in particular whether the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and whether it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the fore- seeable future. Judgement includes consideration of the Company’s future cash requirements in its numerous tax jurisdictions. Legal provisions and contingencies The Company, in the normal course of operations, can become involved in various legal proceedings. While the Company cannot predict the ﬁnal outcome of such legal proceedings, the outcome of these matters may have a material effect on the Company’s consol- idated ﬁnancial position, results of operations or cash flows. Man- agement regularly analyzes current information about such matters and provides provisions for probable contingent losses, including an estimate of legal expenses to resolve the matters. Internal and external counsel are used for these assessments. In making the decision regarding the need for provisions, management considers the degree of probability of an unfavourable outcome and the abil- ity to make a sufﬁciently reliable estimate of the amount of loss. The ﬁling of a suit or formal assertion of a claim or the disclosure of any such suit or assertion does not automatically indicate that a provi- sion may be appropriate. Impact of COVID-19 on significant estimates Determining the impact of COVID-19 on the valuation of the Company’s corporate investments requires significant judgement given the amount of uncertainty regarding the long-term impact of COVID-19. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the finan- cial results of the Company will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact of COVID-19 on the financial markets and overall economy are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. If the financial markets and/or overall economy are impacted for a period significantly longer than currently implied by the markets, the financial results of the Com- pany, including the fair value of its corporate investments, may be materially adversely affected. 84 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 2 .

(“Celestica”), Incline Aviation Funds I and II 88 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 and Ryan Specialty Group (“RSG”). At December 31, 2022, other pri- vate equity investments also included Onex’ investment in Unanet. Both Celestica and RSG are publicly traded companies and the fair value of Onex’ investments in these companies at December 31, 2022 was $701 (December 31, 2021 – $684). In December 2022, Onex invested $99 in Unanet, a lead- ing provider of enterprise resource planning solutions and customer relationship management solutions purpose-built for government contractors and architecture, engineering and construction ﬁrms. In July 2021, RSG completed an initial public offering of approximately 65.5 million shares of its Class A common stock (NYSE: RYAN), including the exercise of the over-allotment option. The offering was priced at $23.50 per share. In connection with this transaction, RSG acquired all of Onex’ preferred unit interests in the company and redeemed approximately 8.1 million Class A shares held by Onex. With the completion of this transaction, net proceeds received by Onex were $492. At December 31, 2021 and 2022, Onex held approximately 12.3 million Class A shares of RSG. iv) Carried interest The General Partner of each Onex Partners and ONCAP Fund is entitled to 20% of the realized net gains of the limited partners in such fund provided the limited partners have achieved a min- imum 8% net compound annual return on their investment. This performance-based capital allocation of realized net gains is re- ferred to as carried interest. Onex is entitled to 40% of the carried interest realized in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. Once the ONCAP IV investors achieve a net return of two times their aggre- gate capital contributions, carried interest participation increases from 20% to 25% of the realized net gains. The amount of carried interest ultimately received by Onex is based on realizations, the timing of which can vary signiﬁcantly from period to period. During 2022, Onex received $18 of carried interest, pri- marily from the sale of Partou, as described earlier in this note. During 2021, Onex received $48 of carried interest from the sales of Bradshaw, Davis-Standard, JELD-WEN and Pinnacle, as described earlier in this note. The receipt of carried interest earned from the secondary offerings by Clarivate Analytics during 2021, as described earlier in this note, was elected to be deferred by the General Partner of Onex Partners IV. Unrealized carried interest is calculated based on the current fair values of the funds and the overall realized and unreal- ized gains in each fund in accordance with its limited partnership agreements. b) Private credit strategies Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) are leveraged structured vehicles that hold a widely diversiﬁed asset portfolio funded through the issuance of long-term debt in a series of rated and unrated tranches of secured notes and equity. The Onex Credit U.S. CLOs in- vest only in securities denominated in U.S. dollars, while the Onex Credit EURO CLOs invest only in securities denominated in euros. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe Company primarily invests in the equity tranches of the Onex Credit CLOs. Other structured strategies invest primarily in U.S. and European CLOs. The Opportunistic Credit Strategies invest primarily in North American and European ﬁrst-lien senior secured loans, sec- ond-lien loans, bonds, trade claims, credit default swaps and other debt investments having similar characteristics. The Liquid Strategies hold investments in ﬁrst-lien senior secured loans and may employ leverage. The Direct Lending strategies primarily hold investments in senior secured loans and other loan investments in private equity sponsor-owned portfolio companies and, selectively, other corpo- rate borrowers. Investments may also include warrants, payment- in-kind preferred stock with warrants and non-control common equity in conjunction with subordinated debt or preferred stock. The investments are predominantly with borrowers in the United States and, selectively, in Canada and Europe.

During 2022, Onex committed an additional $100 to the Onex Capital Solutions Fund, as described in note 26(l), resulting in additional capital deployed in Opportunistic Credit Strategies. During 2021, Onex invested net capital of $50 in CLOs, and received distributions of $114. Onex also sold a portion of its equity interests in certain U.S. and European CLOs for total proceeds of $114 and €14 ($17), respectively. During 2021, Onex invested a total of $55 to support the warehouse facilities for its twenty-second and twenty-third CLOs denominated in U.S. dollars (“CLO-22” and “CLO-23”, respectively). During the fourth quarter of 2021, Onex closed CLO-22 and CLO-23 and received $56, including interest, for the investments that supported the warehouse facilities for these CLOs. Onex also invest- ed €24 ($27) to support the warehouse facilities for EURO CLO-5. During 2021, Onex made investments in other structured strategies totalling $54.

In the ﬁrst quarter of 2021, Onex redeemed all of its investment in the Onex Credit Partners Senior Floating Income Fund, which totalled $98. The proceeds from this redemption were invested in Onex Senior Credit Fund II, which was subsequently redeemed later in the year. c) Real estate Onex’ investment in real estate is comprised of an investment in Flushing Town Center, a commercial and residential complex located in Flushing, New York. During 2022, Onex received distributions of $18 from Flushing Town Center, which were primarily funded by the sale of residential condominium units (2021 – $14). d) Other net assets Other net assets consisted of assets and liabilities of the Investment Holding Companies, excluding investments in private equity, pri- vate credit, real estate and intercompany loans receivable from and payable to Onex and the Asset Managers.

Goodwill is attributable to: 1) the acquisition of Onex Falcon in 2020, primarily attributable to Onex Falcon’s competitive position in the U.S. private credit market and the skills and competence of its workforce; 2) the acquisition of Gluskin Sheff in 2019, primarily attributable to its leading position in the Canadian high net worth private client market and the skills and competence of its work- force; and 3) goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisition of the Onex Credit asset management platform in 2015, primarily attributable to the acquired workforce and industry relationships at Onex Credit. Management tested goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2022 and concluded that no impair- ments existed. The cost and accumulated amortization of client relationships have been reduced for client relationships that ended during 2022 and 2021. 92 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 9.

L E A S E S Onex and the Asset Managers have intercompany loans payable to the Investment Holding Companies. The loans are primarily due on demand and non-interest bearing. At December 31, 2022, intercom- pany loans payable to the Investment Holding Companies totalled $3,488 (December 31, 2021 – $3,755) and the corresponding receiv- able of $3,488 (December 31, 2021 – $3,755) was included in the fair value of the Investment Holding Companies within corporate invest- ments (note 5). There is no impact on net assets or net earnings from these intercompany loans. 10 . A C C R U E D C O M P E N S AT I O N Accrued compensation at December 31, 2022 consisted primarily of cash incentive compensation related to ﬁscal 2022 (December 31, 2021 – ﬁscal 2021), which will largely be paid to employees and man- agement of the Company during the ﬁrst quarter of 2023 (Decem- ber 31, 2021 – ﬁrst quarter of 2022). 11. S T O C K - B A S E D C O M P E N S AT I O N PAYA B L E Stock-based compensation payable comprised the following: December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 For the year: 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 The Company leases ofﬁce space in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom and lease payments are made in Canadian dol- lars, U.S. dollars and pounds sterling. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of terms and conditions. The terms of the Company’s leasing agreements are generally made for ﬁxed periods up to 2033 and in certain circumstances contain options to extend beyond the initial ﬁxed periods. In circumstances where it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise an op- tion to extend a leasing agreement, the minimum lease payments to be made during the extension period are included in the value of the lease liability to be recorded. The lease contracts entered into by the Company do not contain any signiﬁcant restrictions or covenants. The Company’s lease liabilities at December 31, 2022 totalled $70 (December 31, 2021 – $71) and the annual minimum payment requirements for these liabilities were as follows: Stock Option Plan Management DSU Plan Director DSU Plan Other Total stock-based $ 63 41 31 2 $ 338 Thereafter 69 51 4 Total minimum lease payments Less: imputed interest Balance of obligations under lease compensation payable $ 137 $ 462 Included in other assets (note 6) at December 31, 2022 was $74 (December 31, 2021 – $116) related to forward agreements to eco- nomically hedge the Company’s exposure to changes in the trading price of Onex shares primarily associated with the Management and Director DSU Plans. The decrease in stock-based compensation payable at December 31, 2022 was primarily driven by a 34% decrease in the market value of Onex’ SVS to C$65.29 at December 31, 2022 from C$99.28 at December 31, 2021, and stock options and DSUs surren- dered for cash consideration during 2022, as described in note 16. During 2022, the Company recognized $2 (2021 – $2) in inter- est expense related to its lease liabilities, which was included in other expenses. The Company had total cash disbursements of $12 (2021 – $15) related to lease liabilities. Information concerning right-of-use assets is disclosed in note 7. 13 . C O N T I N G E N T C O N S I D E R AT I O N Contingent consideration of $57 was recorded as a liability in Onex’ consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 compared to $43 at December 31, 2021, which represents the fair value of contingent consideration owed by Onex in connection with the acquisition of Falcon Investment Advisors in December 2020. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated by calculating the present value of future expected cash ﬂows. Up to $80 in contingent consid- eration may be payable by Onex in connection with the acquisition of Falcon Investment Advisors, based on Onex Falcon’s financial performance from 2023 to 2025 and the size and performance of certain funds to be launched by Onex Falcon.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities, without taking into consideration the offset- ting of balances within the same tax jurisdiction, comprised the following: Deferred Income Tax Assets Balance – December 31, 2020 Credited (charged) to net earnings Balance – December 31, 2021 Charged to net earnings Balance – December 31, 2022 Deferred Income Tax Liabilities Balance – December 31, 2020 Credited to net earnings Balance – December 31, 2021 Credited to net earnings Balance – December 31, 2022 Property, Equipment, Right-of-Use Assets and Intangibles Tax Losses $ 26 (6) $ 20 (6) $ 14 $ $ 1 1 2 – $ 2 Total $ 27 (5) $ 22 (6) $ 16 Property, Equipment, Right-of-Use Assets and Intangibles $ 30 (6) $ 24 (9) $ 15 As at December 31, 2022, Onex and the Asset Managers had $1,062 of non-capital loss carryforwards and $68 of capital loss carry- forwards that were available to offset current and future taxable income when realized. However, a net deferred tax asset has not been recognized in respect of these income tax losses since it is not probable, as of December 31, 2022, that sufﬁcient taxable income or taxable temporary differences will arise in the future to utilize these losses prior to their expiry, with the exception of taxable tem- porary differences associated with the acquired limited life intangi- ble assets of Gluskin Sheff. The Company will continue to assess the likelihood of sufﬁcient future taxable income being recognized to utilize available tax losses. During 2019, the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) reas- sessed Onex’ 2011 taxation year, the impact of which, if sustained, would result in a decrease to Onex’ non-capital losses of approxi- mately $275 and an increase to Onex’ capital losses of approximately $265. In 2021, Onex received proposed adjustments in respect of additional matters pertaining to the 2012 through 2014 taxation years. All proposed matters are under review and it is possible that the CRA may propose adjustments for subsequent years on the same basis. Given the uncertainty over the matters currently under review, the outcome cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. However, there is no expected impact on Onex’ consolidated balance sheets as Onex has not recognized any deferred tax assets associated with its non-capital losses, and the outcome of the various matters is not expected to exceed such amounts. Onex has objected to the 2011 reassessments and believes that its tax ﬁling positions on all mat- ters, including those under review, were appropriate, and intends to defend itself vigorously. During 2021 and 2022, no deferred tax provision was rec- ognized on income from Onex’ investments in foreign Investment Holding Companies since the Company had determined, as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, that it is probable these earnings will be indeﬁnitely reinvested. In addition, foreign realized and unrealized gains are typically not subject to taxation in the for- eign tax jurisdictions. At December 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of taxable temporary differences not recognized in association with invest- ments in subsidiaries was $1,610 (December 31, 2021 – $1,913).

S H A R E C A P I TA L a) The authorized share capital of the Company consists of: i) 100,000 Multiple Voting Shares, which entitle their holders to elect 60% of the Company’s directors and carry such number of votes in the aggregate as represents 60% of the aggregate votes attached to all shares of the Company carrying voting rights. The Multiple Vot- ing Shares have no entitlement to a distribution on winding up or dissolution other than the payment of their nominal paid-in value. ii) An unlimited number of SVS, which carry one vote per share and as a class are entitled to 40% of the aggregate votes attached to all shares of the Company carrying voting rights to elect 40% of the Company’s directors and to appoint the auditors. These shares are entitled, subject to the prior rights of other classes, to distributions of the residual assets on winding up and to any declared but unpaid cash dividends. The shares are entitled to receive cash dividends, dividends in kind and stock dividends as and when declared by the Board of Directors. The Multiple Voting Shares and SVS are subject to provi- sions whereby, if an event of change occurs (such as Mr. Schwartz, Chairman and CEO, ceasing to hold, directly or indirectly, more than 5,000,000 SVS or related events), the Multiple Voting Shares will thereupon be entitled to elect only 20% of the Company’s di- rectors and otherwise will cease to have any general voting rights. The SVS would then carry 100% of the general voting rights and be entitled to elect 80% of the Company’s directors. b) At December 31, 2022, the issued and outstanding share capital consisted of 100,000 Multiple Voting Shares (December 31, 2021 – 100,000) and 80,808,343 SVS (December 31, 2021 – 86,805,538).

There were no issued and outstanding Senior and Junior Preferred Shares at December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. c) Onex renewed its Normal Course Issuer Bid in April 2022 for one year, permitting the Company to purchase on the Toronto Stock Exchange up to 10% of the public float of its SVS. The 10% limit rep- resents approximately 7.2 million shares. During 2022, the Company repurchased and cancelled 6,039,668 of its SVS for a total cost of $321 (C$422) or an average cost per share of $53.07 (C$69.85). The excess of the purchase cost of these shares over the average paid-in amount was $302 (C$397), which was charged to retained earnings. As at December 31, 2022, the Company had the capacity under the current Normal Course Issuer Bid to repurchase 1,127,713 shares. During 2021, the Company repurchased and cancelled 3,521,526 of its SVS for a total cost of $249 (C$313) or an average cost per share of $70.63 (C$88.85). The excess of the purchase cost of these shares over the average paid-in amount was $237 (C$299), which was charged to retained earnings. The shares repurchased were comprised of: (i) 2,421,526 SVS repurchased under the Normal Course Issuer Bid for a total cost of $171 (C$214) or an average cost per share of $70.34 (C$88.19); and (ii) 1,100,000 SVS repurchased in private transactions for a total cost of $78 (C$99) or a weighted average cost per share of $71.28 (C$90.30). iii) An unlimited number of Senior and Junior Preferred Shares is- suable in series. The Company’s directors are empowered to ﬁx the rights to be attached to each series. During 2022, 42,473 SVS (2021 – 16,133) were issued upon the exercise of stock options at an average cost of C$70.35 (2021 – C$97.43). 96 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSd) The Company has a Director DSU Plan and a Management DSU Plan, as described in note 1.

Under the Plan, no options or share appreciation rights may be exercised unless the average market price of the SVS for the ﬁve previous business days exceeds the exercise price of the options or the share appreciation rights by at least 25% (the “hurdle price”). At Decem- ber 31, 2022, 15,446,577 SVS (December 31, 2021 – 15,489,050) were reserved for issuance under the Plan, against which options representing 7,584,295 shares (December 31, 2021 – 12,116,370) were outstanding, of which 5,534,907 options were vested. The Plan provides that the number of options issued to certain individuals in aggregate may not exceed 10% of the shares outstanding at the time the options are issued. Options granted vest at a rate of 20% per year from the date of grant. When an option is exercised, the employee has the right to request that the Company repurchase the option for an amount equal to the difference between the fair value of the stock under the option and its exercise price. Upon receipt of such request, the Company has the right to settle its obligation to the employee by the payment of cash, the issuance of shares or a com- bination of cash and shares. In addition to the options outstanding under the Plan, in January 2015, the Company issued 60,000 options in connection with acquiring control of the Onex Credit asset management plat- form. The options are subject to the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Plan. The details of the options outstanding were as follows: Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at December 31, 2020 13,122,750 Grants Surrendered for cash Exercised for SVS Expired Outstanding at December 31, 2021 Grants Surrendered for cash Exercised for SVS Expired 687,000 (1,394,830) (25,000) (273,550) 12,116,370 440,250 (4,402,900) (95,000) (474,425) Outstanding at December 31, 2022 7,584,295 C$ 68.47 C$ 75.09 C$ 53.30 C$ 33.11 C$ 84.85 C$ 70.30 C$ 88.93 C$ 56.61 C$ 40.35 C$ 82.23 C$ 78.94 During 2022 and 2021, the total cash consideration paid on options surrendered was $53 (C$71) and $40 (C$49), respectively. These amounts represent the difference between the market value of the SVS at the time of surrender and the exercise price, both as deter- mined under the Plan. The weighted average share price at the date of exercise was C$72.55 per share (2021 – C$88.31).

FA I R VA L U E M E A S U R E M E N T S Fair values of financial instruments The estimated fair values of ﬁnancial instruments as at Decem- ber 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are based on relevant market prices and information available at those dates. The carrying values of receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, lease liabili- ties and other liabilities approximate the fair values of these ﬁnan- cial instruments. Financial instruments measured at fair value are allocated within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is signi- ﬁcant to the fair value measurement. Transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no signiﬁcant transfers between the three levels of the fair val- ue hierarchy during 2022 and 2021. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: • Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (“Level 1”); • Signiﬁcant other observable inputs (“Level 2”); and • Signiﬁcant other unobservable inputs (“Level 3”). Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 101 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe allocation of ﬁnancial assets in the fair value hierarchy, excluding cash and cash equivalents which are a Level 1 measurement, is as follows: As at December 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets at fair value through net earnings (loss) Investments in equities (i) Investments in debt Intercompany loans receivable from Investment Holding Companies Restricted cash and other Total financial assets at fair value through net earnings (loss) $ $ – – – 9 9 $ – 52 398 76 $ 526 $ 10,477 $ 10,477 – – – 52 398 85 $ 10,477 $ 11,012 (i) Onex’ investments in the Investment Holding Companies are further described in note 5.

Financial liabilities measured at fair value with signiﬁcant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings in the contingent consideration line item. 102 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe valuation of ﬁnancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value with signiﬁcant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is determined quarterly using company-speciﬁc considerations and available market data of comparable public companies. The fair value mea- surements for corporate investments were primarily driven by the underlying net asset values of Onex’ investments in the Onex Partners Funds, ONCAP Funds and private credit strategies. The valuation of underlying non-public investments requires signiﬁ- cant judgement due to the absence of quoted market values, the inherent lack of liquidity, the long-term nature of such investments and heightened market uncertainty as a result of global inﬂation- ary pressures, increasing interest rates and heightened geopolitical risks. A change to reasonably possible alternative estimates and assumptions in the valuation of non-public investments in the Onex Partners Funds and ONCAP Funds, and investments held in Credit strategies, may have a signiﬁcant impact on the fair values calculated for these ﬁnancial assets. The Company used the adjusted net asset method to derive the fair values of its investments in its Investment Holding Companies by reference to the underlying fair value of the Investment Holding Companies’ assets and liabilities, along with assessing any required discount or premium to be applied to the net asset values. The dis- count or premium applied to the net asset values of the Investment Holding Companies was a signiﬁcant unobservable input. The Company determined that the adjusted net asset method was the appropriate valuation technique to be used, considering the value of the Investment Holding Companies is primarily derived from the assets they hold, which primarily consist of investments in pri- vate equity and private credit strategies, treasury investments and intercompany loans receivable from Onex and the Asset Managers. The Company has determined that no discount or premium was required for the net asset values of its Investment Holding Com- panies at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. If a discount of 1% or a premium of 1% were applied to all of the net asset val- ues of the Investment Holding Companies, with all other variables remaining constant, the total fair value of the Company’s corporate investments at December 31, 2022 would decrease or increase by $105 (December 31, 2021 – $106), respectively. Private equity investments The valuation of investments in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds is reviewed and approved by the General Partner of the re- spective fund each quarter. The valuation of public investments held directly by Onex or through the Onex Partners Funds and ONCAP Funds is based on their publicly traded closing prices at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. For certain public investments, a discount is applied to the closing price in relation to restrictions that were in place relating to the securities held by Onex, the Onex Partners Funds or the ONCAP Funds. At December 31, 2022, these discounts resulted in a reduction of $73 in the fair value of corporate invest- ments (December 31, 2021 – $77). Valuation methodologies for the underlying private equity investments may include observations of the trading multiples of public compa- nies considered comparable to the private companies being valued and discounted cash flows. The following table presents the signiﬁcant unobservable inputs used to value the private equity funds’ underlying private securities that impact the valuation of corporate investments. Investment Platform Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Inputs Inputs at December 31, 2022 Inputs at December 31, 2021 Onex Partners Funds Comparable company valuation multiple Adjusted EBITDA multiples 7.7x – 19.3x 7.0x – 16.0x Onex Partners Funds Discounted cash flow Weighted average costs of capital 15.0% – 22.9% 13.7% – 18.0% ONCAP Funds Comparable company valuation multiple Exit multiples Adjusted EBITDA multiples 4.0x – 19.5 x 7.4x – 9.8x 4.0x – 17.0 x 7.4x – 9.5x ONCAP Funds Discounted cash flow Weighted average costs of capital 12.5% – 20.4 % 10.7% – 22.4% Exit multiples 5.0x – 12.0x 7.0x – 11.0 x In addition, at December 31, 2022, the Onex Partners Funds had one investment that was valued using the adjusted net assets approach, one investment that was valued using a convertible bond model and one investment that was valued based on a multiple of book value. At December 31, 2021, the Onex Partners Funds had one investment that was valued using a market approach, one invest- ment that was valued based on a multiple of book value, one invest- ment that was valued using a convertible bond model and three investments that were valued at cost as this approximated fair value. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 103 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe impact on the fair value of corporate investments as at December 31, 2022 from changes in the signiﬁcant unobservable inputs used to value the private equity funds’ underlying private securities included the following: Investment Platform Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Inputs Multiple Increase by 0.5 Multiple Decrease by 0.5 Onex Partners Funds Comparable company Adjusted EBITDA multiples $ 155 $ (155) ONCAP Funds valuation multiple Comparable company valuation multiple Adjusted EBITDA multiples $ 27 $ (24) Investment Platform Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Inputs Onex Partners Funds Discounted cash flow ONCAP Funds Discounted cash flow Exit multiples Exit multiples Investment Platform Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Inputs Onex Partners Funds Discounted cash flow Weighted average costs of capital ONCAP Funds Discounted cash flow Weighted average costs of capital Multiple Increase by 0.5 Multiple Decrease by 0.5 $ $ 72 38 $ (73) $ (38) Decrease of 0.5 Percentage Point Increase of 0.5 Percentage Point $ $ 30 14 $ $ (30) (14) Generally, adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as other adjustments. Other adjustments can include non-cash costs of stock-based com- pensation and retention plans, transition and restructuring expens- es including severance payments, annualized pro-forma adjust- ments for acquisitions, the impact of derivative instruments that no longer qualify for hedge accounting, the impacts of purchase accounting and other similar amounts. Adjusted EBITDA is a mea- surement that is not deﬁned under IFRS. During 2022, the underlying securities held by Onex in publicly traded companies generated a net loss of approximately $90, and the underlying securities held in private companies generated a net gain of approximately $300. The fair values of investments in both publicly traded and private companies were impacted by macroeconomic and market factors, including broad increases in global interest rates and inflation, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and changes in trading multiples for public companies. Onex’ net gain on private equity investments during 2022 included a foreign exchange mark-to-market loss of $92 in respect of private equity investments denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. At December 31, 2022, Onex’ private equity investments denominated in Canadian dollars and pounds sterling totalled $603 (C$817) and $414 (£344), respectively. 104 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSPrivate credit investments The valuation of investments in the Credit Funds is reviewed and ap- proved by the General Partner of the respective fund each quarter. The valuation of certain investments held by the Liquid Strategies is measured by obtaining quoted market prices or dealer quotes for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observ- able market data. Valuation methodologies used for certain investments held by the Opportunistic Credit Strategies may include compara- ble market yield analysis, enterprise value coverage analysis, liqui- dation analysis and weighting to available quoted levels or market transactions. Investments in the Credit CLOs and other structured strategies were valued using internally developed pricing models based on a projection of the future cash flows expected to be real- ized from the underlying collateral of the CLOs, which is a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. These pricing models include third-party pricing information and a number of unobserv- able inputs, including default rates, discount rates and recovery rates. Signiﬁcant increases or decreases in certain unobservable inputs in isolation may result in a signiﬁcantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Fair values determined by the internally devel- oped pricing models are also compared to fair values determined by third-party pricing models to ensure management’s estimates are reasonable. The following table presents the signiﬁcant unobservable inputs used to value Onex’ investments in the Credit CLOs. Investment Platform Significant Unobservable Inputs Inputs at December 31, 2022 Inputs at December 31, 2021 U.S. CLOs EURO CLOs Default rate Discount rate Recovery rate Default rate Discount rate Recovery rate 2% 15% – 20% 55% 2% 15% – 20% 55% 2% 14% – 19% 55% 2% 12% – 17% 55% In addition, at December 31, 2022, Credit had one U.S. CLO investment that was valued at cost as this approximated fair value (December 31, 2021 – two U.S. CLO investments). The impact on the fair value of corporate investments as at December 31, 2022 from changes in the signiﬁcant unobservable inputs used to value Onex’ investments in the CLOs included the following: Investment Platform Significant Unobservable Inputs U.S. CLOs EURO CLOs Default rate Default rate Investment Platform Significant Unobservable Inputs U.S. CLOs EURO CLOs Discount rate Discount rate Decrease of 1.5 Percentage Points Increase of 1.5 Percentage Points $ 47 $ 14 $ (52) $ (15) Decrease of 3.0 Percentage Points Increase of 3.0 Percentage Points $ 12 $ 3 $ (10) $ (3 ) Investment Platform Significant Unobservable Inputs U.S. CLOs EURO CLOs Recovery rate Recovery rate Increase of 15.0 Percentage Points Decrease of 15.0 Percentage Points $ 19 $ 6 $ (20) $ (6) Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 105 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS2 4 . F I N A N C I A L I N S T R U M E N T R I S K S Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a ﬁnancial instru- ment will fail to perform its obligation and cause the Company to incur a loss. Cash, cash equivalents and treasury investments include investments in debt securities which are subject to credit risk. Cer- tain underlying assets within corporate investments are also debt securities which are subject to credit risk. At December 31, 2022, Onex, including its Investment Holding Companies, had $345 of cash on hand and $887 of near- cash items and cash equivalents held by a third-party investment manager at market value. Cash and cash equivalents are held with ﬁnancial institutions having a current Standard & Poor’s rating of A-1+ or above. Near-cash items include treasury investments man- aged by a third-party investment manager, as described below, $449 in management fees and recoverable expenses receivable from cer- tain funds, and $69 of subscription financing receivable attributable to third-party investors in certain Credit Funds. Treasury invest- ments have current Standard & Poor’s ratings ranging from BBB to AAA. The portfolio concentration limits range from a maximum of 10% for BBB investments to 100% for AAA investments. The Company’s recoverable fund expenses and other receivables are also subject to credit risk. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that Onex will have insufﬁcient funds on hand to meet its obligations as they come due. Onex needs to be in a position to support the operating businesses its private equity funds invest in when and if it is appropriate and reasonable for Onex, as an equity owner with paramount duties to act in the best interests of Onex shareholders, to do so. Maintaining sufﬁcient liquidity at Onex is important given Onex, as a holding company, generally does not have guaranteed sources of meaningful cash flow to sup- port its investing activities. Accounts payable are generally due within 90 days. The repayment schedule for leases is disclosed in note 12. Onex has no external debt and does not guarantee the debt of the operating busi- nesses of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds or any other oper- ating business Onex invests in directly. Onex has provided guaran- tees for credit facilities that certain members of the management team have access to in connection with personal investments made in certain Onex Partners, ONCAP and Onex Falcon Funds, as more fully described in note 26(a). Onex has also made commitments to invest in certain private equity and private credit strategies that it manages, as described in note 26. 106 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 Market risk Market risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a ﬁnancial instru- ment will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The Company is primarily exposed to fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates associated with the Canadian and U.S. dollar, pound sterling and euro, as well as fluctuations in LIBOR, EURIBOR, SOFR and the U.S. prime interest rate. Foreign currency exchange rates The functional currency of Onex is the U.S. dollar; however, certain cash and cash equivalents, treasury investments, receivables, corpo- rate investments, forward agreements, payables and lease liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars, while certain private credit corporate investments are denominated in euros. In addition, the Company has cash and cash equivalents and a lease liability denom- inated in pounds sterling. As a result, Onex is exposed to currency risk related to these ﬁnancial instruments. At December 31, 2022, had the U.S. dollar strengthened by 5% relative to the Canadian dol- lar, the euro and pound sterling, with all other variables held con- stant, the net decrease in net earnings from ﬁnancial instruments would have been $14. Conversely, had the U.S. dollar weakened by 5% relative to the Canadian dollar, the euro and pound sterling, with all other variables held constant, the net increase in net earnings from ﬁnancial instruments would have been $15. Certain underly- ing investments held by the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds may be denominated in Canadian dollars, euros or pounds sterling, while Onex’ investments in these funds are denominated in U.S. dol- lars, with the exception of investments made in the ONCAP II and III Funds, which are denominated in Canadian dollars. As such, Onex is also indirectly exposed to foreign currency exchange risk associated with these underlying investments. Refer to note 23 for further infor- mation concerning Onex’ private equity investments denominated in Canadian dollars and pounds sterling. Interest rates The Company is exposed to changes in future cash flows as a result of changes in the interest rate environment, primarily through the cash and cash equivalents held, which are held in money market funds, short-term term deposits and commercial paper. Assuming no signiﬁcant changes in cash balances held by the Company from those at December 31, 2022, a 1% increase (1% decrease) in the interest rate (including the Canadian and U.S. prime rates) would result in a minimal impact on annual interest income. Onex also has exposure to interest rate risk through its treasury investments managed by a third-party investment man- ager. As interest rates change, the fair values of ﬁxed income invest- ments are inversely impacted. Investments with shorter durations are less impacted by changes in interest rates compared to invest- ments with longer durations. At December 31, 2022, Onex’ trea- sury investments, including those held by the Investment Holding Companies, had $289 of ﬁxed income securities measured at fair NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSvalue, which are subject to interest rate risk. These securities had a weighted average duration of 1.2 years. Other factors, including general economic and political conditions, may also affect the value of ﬁxed income securities. These risks are monitored on an ongoing basis and the treasury investments may be repositioned in response to changes in market conditions. Price risk Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value as a result of move- ments in equity prices. Onex is exposed to price risk in relation to the equity interests in its private equity investments held within its corporate investments. At December 31, 2022, had the price of equity securities held within corporate investments related to pri- vate equity investments decreased by 5%, with all other variables held constant, the decrease in net earnings would have been $306. Conversely, had the price increased by 5%, with all other variables held constant, the increase in net earnings would have been $306. Onex’ investments in private credit strategies are primarily held in underlying debt instruments. Onex is not exposed to a signiﬁcant price risk associated with its equity interest in these investments. Regulatory risk Onex is subject to government regulations and oversight with re- spect to its business activities. Failure to comply with applicable regulations, obtain applicable regulatory approvals or maintain those approvals may subject Onex to civil penalties, suspension or withdrawal of any regulatory approval obtained, injunctions, oper- ating restrictions and criminal prosecutions and penalties, which could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse ef- fect on Onex’ consolidated ﬁnancial position. 2 5 . C A P I TA L D I S C LO S U R E S Onex considers the capital it manages to be the amounts it has in cash and cash equivalents, near-cash investments, treasury in- vestments managed by a third-party investment manager and the investments made in its private equity funds, credit strategies and other investments. Onex also manages the capital of other inves- tors in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds, and Credit strategies. Onex’ objectives in managing capital are to: • preserve a ﬁnancially strong parent company with appropriate li- quidity and no, or a limited amount of, external debt so that funds are available to pursue new investments and growth opportuni- ties, as well as support expansion of its existing businesses; achieve an appropriate return on capital invested commensurate with the level of assumed risk; • • build the long-term value of its corporate investments; and • control the risk associated with capital invested in any particu- lar strategy. Onex Corporation does not guarantee the debt of its investment funds or the underlying operating businesses of its private equity funds. A portion of the Company’s capital is managed by a third-party investment manager. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of invest- ments, including cash yet to be deployed, managed by the third-party investment manager was $365. The investments are managed in a mix of short- and long-term portfolios. Treasury investments consist of liquid investments, including money market instruments and com- mercial paper with original maturities of three months to one year, in addition to longer-term investments, which include federal and municipal debt instruments, corporate obligations and structured products with maturities of one year to ﬁve years. The investments are managed to maintain an overall weighted average duration of two years or less. At December 31, 2022, Onex had access to uncalled committed limited partner capital for acquisitions through Onex Partners V (approximately $745), Onex Partners VI (approximately $420), ONCAP IV (approximately $120) and ONCAP V (approxi- mately $110). The strategy for risk management of capital has not changed signiﬁ- cantly since December 31, 2021. 26 . C O M M I T M E N T S A N D R E L AT E D - PA R T Y T R A N S A C T I O N S a) Incline Aviation Fund, letters of guarantee and other commitments Incline Aviation Fund and Incline Aviation Fund II are aircraft investment funds managed by BBAM, which in turn is an operating business of Onex Partners III. At December 31, 2022, Onex’ uncalled commitments to Incline Aviation Fund and Incline Aviation Fund II were $15 and $54, respectively (December 31, 2021 – $18 and $99, respectively). Onex has provided guarantees for credit facilities that certain members of the management team have access to in con- nection with personal investments made in certain Onex Partners, ONCAP and Onex Falcon Funds. Borrowings under these credit facilities are collateralized by the personal assets of each participat- ing management team member. These credit facilities had $4 out- standing at December 31, 2022. The Company has commitments with respect to leases, which are disclosed in note 12. b) Legal contingencies Onex is or may become a party to legal claims arising in the ordi- nary course of business. Onex has not recorded any legal provision as of December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021 and does not believe that the resolution of known claims would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on Onex’ consolidated ﬁnancial position. However, the ﬁnal outcome with respect to outstanding, pending or future actions cannot be predicted with certainty, and therefore there can be no assurance that their resolution will not have an adverse effect on Onex’ consolidated ﬁnancial position. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 107 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSc) Commitments to Onex Partners Funds Onex Partners I, Onex Partners II, Onex Partners III, Onex Partners IV, Onex Partners V and Onex Partners VI (the “Onex Partners Funds”) were established to provide committed capital for Onex-sponsored acquisitions not related to Onex’ direct investments or ONCAP.

In November 2022, Onex completed the ﬁrst close for Onex Part- ners VI, reaching aggregate commitments of approximately $2,000, including Onex’ commitment of $1,500 and Onex management’s minimum 2% commitment, which may be adjusted annually to a maximum of 10%. Onex Partners VI will invest in middle-market and/or larger operating companies headquartered in, organized in, having principal executive ofﬁces in or primarily operating in North America or Europe. The fund will not invest more than 20% of aggregate commitments in any single operating company and its afﬁliates. The remaining commitments for Onex Partners I, Onex Partners II and Onex Partners III are for future funding partnership expenses. The remaining commitments for Onex Partners IV are for possible follow-on investments in remaining businesses and future funding of partnership expenses. The remaining commitments for Onex Partners V and Onex Partners VI are primarily for future fund- ing of Onex-sponsored investments. Onex management has committed, as a group, to invest a minimum percentage in each of the Onex Partners Funds. The min- imum commitment to Onex Partners V from Onex management is 2%, which may be adjusted annually to a maximum of 10%. At December 31, 2022, Onex management and directors have commit- ted 5% to Onex Partners V for new investments completed in 2023. During 2022, Onex management and its directors invested $49 in the Onex Partners Funds, including bridge financing, where appli- cable (2021 – $98). The investments held by the Onex management team and directors, at fair value, in the Onex Partners Funds totalled $597 at December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 – $605). d) Commitments to ONCAP Funds ONCAP II, ONCAP III, ONCAP IV and ONCAP V (the “ONCAP Funds”) were established to provide committed capital for acquisitions of small and medium-sized businesses.

ONCAP V will invest in operating companies orga- nized in, headquartered in, having principal executive offices in, significantly operating in or deriving significant revenue from the United States or Canada. ONCAP V will not invest more than 20% of aggregate commitments in any single operating company and its affiliates. The remaining commitments for ONCAP II are for future funding of partnership expenses. The remaining commitments for ONCAP III are for possible follow-on investments in remaining businesses and future funding of partnership expenses. The remaining commit- ments for ONCAP IV and ONCAP V are primarily for the funding of future Onex-sponsored investments. ONCAP management has committed, as a group, to invest a minimum percentage in each of the ONCAP Funds. The minimum commitment to ONCAP IV and ONCAP V from ONCAP management is 2%. The commitment from management of Onex and ONCAP and directors may be increased to a maximum of 10% of ONCAP IV and ONCAP V. At December 31, 2022, management of Onex and ONCAP and directors had committed 10% to ONCAP IV and ONCAP V for new investments completed in 2023. During 2022, Onex management and its directors invested $11 in the ONCAP Funds (2021 – $4). The investments held by the Onex management team and directors, at fair value, in the ONCAP Funds, totalled $155 at December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 – $121). e) Carried interest participation The General Partners of the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds are entitled to a carried interest of 20% on the realized net gains of the limited partners in each fund, subject to an 8% compound annual preferred return to those limited partners on all amounts contrib- uted in each individual fund. Onex is entitled to 40% of the carried interest realized in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds. Onex and Onex Partners management are allocated 60% of the carried inter- est realized in the Onex Partners Funds. For Onex Partners V, Onex Partners VI and certain direct and co-investments, Onex Partners management is also entitled to a carried interest of 12% of the real- ized gains from Onex’ capital, subject to an 8% compound annual preferred return to Onex on amounts contributed to the fund or in- vested directly by Onex. ONCAP management is allocated 60% of the carried interest realized in the ONCAP Funds and an equiva- lent carried interest on Onex’ capital. Once the ONCAP IV investors achieve a return of two times their aggregate capital contributions, carried interest participation increases from 20% to 25% of the real- ized net gains. Under the terms of the partnership agreements, the General Partners may receive carried interest as realizations occur. The ultimate amount of carried interest earned will be based on the overall performance of each fund, independently, and includes typical catch-up and clawback provisions within each fund, but not between funds. Carried interest received from Onex Partners I, Onex Partners II, Onex Partners III and Onex Partners IV has fully vest- ed for Onex management. Carried interest received from Onex Partners V for management will vest equally over six years from November 2018. Carried interest received from Onex Partners VI for management will, by and large, vest equally over six years from the ﬁrst capital call of the fund. Carried interest received from ONCAP II, ONCAP III and ONCAP IV has fully vested for ONCAP management. During the year ended December 31, 2022, management’s share of carried interest from realizations in Onex Partners and ONCAP was $36 (2021 – $106). Management has the potential to receive $556 (December 31, 2021 – $522) of carried interest on busi- nesses in the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds based on their fair values as determined at December 31, 2022. The General Partners of the Onex Credit Funds are entitled to a carried interest of up to 20% on the realized net gains of the lim- ited partners in certain private credit funds, provided the limited partners have achieved a minimum preferred rate of return on their investment. Onex Falcon management is entitled to the entire carried interest for existing Onex Falcon Funds at the date Onex acquired Onex Falcon in December 2020, with the exception of Onex Falcon VI. For Onex Falcon VI, Onex Falcon management is entitled to approximately 80% of the carried interest and Onex is entitled to the remaining approximately 20%. In most other cases, Onex is entitled to 50% of the carried interest realized from Credit Funds, with the remaining 50% allocated to the Onex Credit team. During the year ended December 31, 2022, management’s share of carried interest from realizations in the Credit Funds was $31 (2021 – $27). Management has the potential to receive $97 (December 31, 2021 – $115) of carried interest from the Credit Funds based on their fair values as determined at December 31, 2022. f) Management Investment Plan For all investments completed prior to 2020 and excluding all Onex Partners V investments, the MIP required Onex management team members to invest in each of the operating businesses acquired or invested in by Onex. In addition to this required investment, man- agement was allocated 12% of Onex’ realized gain from an operat- ing business investment, subject to certain conditions. In particular, Onex must realize the full return of its investment plus a net 15% internal rate of return from the investment in order for management to be allocated the additional gain on Onex’ investment. Realizations under the program during 2022 were $7 (2021 – $132) and are settled by certain Investment Holding Com- panies, which are accounted for as corporate investments at fair value through net earnings (loss), as described in note 1. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 109 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSg) Stock Option Plan Onex has a Stock Option Plan in place that provides for options and/or share appreciation rights to be granted to Onex directors, ofﬁcers and employees for the acquisition of SVS of Onex, as more fully described in note 16(e). h) Management Deferred Share Unit Plan Onex has a Management Deferred Share Unit Plan, which enables the Onex management team to apply all or a portion of their annual compensation earned to acquire DSUs based on the market value of Onex shares at the time, in lieu of cash, as more fully described in note 1. i) Director Deferred Share Unit Plan Onex has a Director Deferred Share Unit Plan, which entitles Onex directors to apply directors’ fees earned to acquire DSUs based on the market value of Onex shares at the time, as more fully described in note 1. j) OCLP I Onex Credit Lending Partners (“OCLP I”) provides committed cap- ital for investments in senior secured loans and other loan invest- ments in middle-market, upper middle-market and large private equity sponsor-owned portfolio companies and, selectively, other corporate borrowers.

Onex controls the General Partner and Manager of OCLP I. As at December 31, 2022, the Onex management team had invested $59 (December 31, 2021 – $59) of its $79 commitment in OCLP I. There were no invest- ments made in OCLP I by Onex or the Onex management team during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the remaining uncalled commitments to OCLP I will be used for future fund expenses and to settle existing liabilities of the fund. k) Onex Structured Credit Opportunities Fund The Onex Structured Credit Opportunities Fund (“OSCO”) invests primarily in U.S. and European collateralized loan obligations. As at December 31, 2022, Onex had invested $45 of its aggregate $50 commitment to OSCO and a separately managed account which follows a similar strategy to OSCO and the investment period for OSCO is set to expire in September 2023. Onex controls the General Partner and Manager of OSCO. As at December 31, 2022, the Onex management team has invested $39 (December 31, 2021 – $23) of its $49 commitment in OSCO, of which $16 was invested during 2022 (2021 – $23). 110 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 l) Onex Capital Solutions Fund The Onex Capital Solutions Fund (“OCS”) invests primarily in loans, bonds, trade claims and credit default swaps, among other assets. As at December 31, 2022, Onex had invested $80 of its aggregate $200 commitment and the investment period for OCS is set to expire in March 2025. Onex controls the General Partner and Manager of OCS. As at December 31, 2022, the Onex management team has invested $13 (December 31, 2021 – $5) of its $34 commitment in OCS, of which $8 was invested during 2022 (2021 – $5). m) Falcon Fund VII During 2022, Onex completed the ﬁrst close for Falcon Fund VII, reaching aggregate commitments of approximately $460, including $30 from Onex and $35 from the Onex management team. The fund aims to make junior capital investments in the U.S. lower middle market and primarily invests in subordinated debt or second-lien debt with warrants, payment-in-kind preferred stock with warrants and non-control common equity in conjunction with subordinat- ed debt or preferred stock. Onex controls the General Partner and Manager of Falcon Fund VII and the investment period for Falcon Fund VII is expected to expire in 2028. There were no investments made by Onex in Falcon Fund VII during 2022. In January 2023, Onex completed the second close for Falcon Fund VII, which included an additional $50 commitment from Onex, as described in note 27. n) Subscription financing to Credit Funds Onex has committed to providing up to $270 of subscription ﬁnanc- ing to certain Credit Funds. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, no amounts were drawn from these subscription facilities. o) Management and directors’ investment in Onex Credit The Onex management team and directors may invest in strategies and funds managed by Onex Credit. During 2022, the Onex man- agement team and directors invested $41 (2021 – $177) in funds managed by Onex Credit. At December 31, 2022, investments at fair value held by the Onex management team and directors in strate- gies and funds managed by Onex Credit were approximately $607 (2021 – $605). p) Management and directors’ investment in other investments Members of management and the Board of Directors of Onex can invest limited amounts in partnership with Onex in all acqui- sitions outside the Onex Partners and ONCAP Funds, including co-investment opportunities, at the same time and cost as Onex and other outside investors. During 2022, a total of $4 (2021 – $18) in investments was made by the Onex management team and direc- tors primarily in Incline Aviation Fund II and Unanet (2021 – pri- marily Incline Aviation Fund II and co-investments for WEG and Imagine Learning). NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSq) Remuneration to key management Remuneration to key management includes amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings as compensation and stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation associated with Onex stock options is included in the table below based on the cash ultimately paid to key management or the value of SVS issued to key management for options exercised for SVS, while DSUs issued to Onex directors are included at the grant date fair value. Payments received by key management from investment holding companies related to management incentive programs, including their carried interest participation and the MIP are excluded, and are described in notes 26(e) and 26(f ), respectively. Aggregate payments to the Company’s key management were as follows: Year ended December 31 Short-term employee benefits and costs Share-based payments (i) Total 2022 $ 21 43 $ 64 2021 $ 18 12 $ 30 (i) Share-based payments include $41 (2021 – $10) paid on the exercise of Onex stock options (note 16). Related-party revenues included the following: r) Related-party revenues Onex receives management fees on limited partners’ and clients’ capital within the Onex private equity funds and private credit strategies, and advisory fees directly from certain operating busi- nesses. Onex also receives carried interest from certain Credit strat- egies and recovers certain deal investigation, research and other expenses from the Onex private equity funds, private credit strat- egies and the operating businesses of Onex Partners and ONCAP. Onex indirectly controls the Onex private equity funds and private credit strategies, and therefore the management fees and carried interest earned from these sources represent related-party trans- actions. Furthermore, Onex indirectly controls, jointly controls or has signiﬁcant influence over certain operating businesses held by the Onex private equity funds and, as such, advisory fees from these operating businesses represent related-party transactions. Gluskin Sheff has agreements to manage its pooled fund vehicles, in which it generally acts as the trustee, manager, trans- fer agent and principal distributor. In the case of those pooled fund vehicles that are limited partnerships, Gluskin Sheff or an afﬁliate of Gluskin Sheff is the General Partner. As such, the Gluskin Sheff pooled fund vehicles are related parties of the Company.

Schwartz in two private transactions. The shares were repurchased at a weighted average cost of $71.28 (C$90.30) per SVS, or a total cost of $78 (C$99), which represented a discount to the trading price of Onex shares on the dates of the transactions. 112 Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS2 7. S U B S E Q U E N T E V E N T In January 2023, Onex committed an additional $50 to Falcon Fund VII, increasing its total commitment to $80. 2 8 . I N F O R M AT I O N B Y R E P O R TA B L E S E G M E N T The Company has two reportable segments: • Investing, which comprises the activity of investing Onex’ capi- tal; and Asset management, which comprises the asset management ac- tivities provided by Onex to support its private equity and Credit strategies, as well as Onex’ corporate functions. • Onex’ segmented results include unrealized carried interest from third-party limited partners in the Credit Funds, which is recog- nized based on the fair values of the underlying investments and the unrealized net gains in each respective fund, in accordance with the limited partnership agreements, and net of allocations to manage- ment. In Onex’ consolidated ﬁnancial statements, carried interest from the Credit Funds is recognized as revenue gross of allocations to management and to the extent it is highly probable to not reverse, which typically occurs when the investments held by a given fund are substantially realized, toward the end of the fund’s term, as described in note 1. Onex’ segmented results also include performance fees associated with the management of certain Credit strategies, which are based on the funds’ performance during the periods presented by applying an agreed-upon formula to the growth in the net asset value of clients’ assets under management. In Onex’ consol- idated statements of earnings, performance fees are recognized as revenue to the extent the fees are highly probable to not reverse, which is typically at the end of each performance year, as described in note 1. Onex’ segmented results exclude revenues and expens- es associated with recoverable expenses from the Onex Partners, ONCAP and private credit strategies, and the operating businesses of Onex Partners and ONCAP. Onex management excludes these amounts when assessing Onex’ performance given the nature of these expenses, which are recoverable at cost. Onex Corporation December 31, 2022 113 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSDuring 2021, Onex’ reportable segment results includ- ed allocations from the investing segment to the asset manage- ment segment related to carried interest and management fees that would have been earned by the asset management segment had Onex’ private equity capital been subject to carried interest and management fees under the same terms as third-party limited partners.
