Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests primarily relate to its consolidated subsidiary, McKesson Europe AG (“McKesson Europe”). Under the December 2014 domination and profit and loss transfer agreement (the “Domination Agreement”), the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe are entitled to receive an annual recurring compensation amount of €0.83 per share and a one-time guaranteed dividend for calendar year 2014 of €0.83 per share reduced accordingly for any dividend paid by McKesson Europe in relation to that year. As a result, the Company recorded a total attribution of net income to the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe of $11 million and $33 million during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and $11 million and $34 million during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018. All amounts were recorded within net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and the corresponding liability balance was recorded within other accrued liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Under the Domination Agreement, the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe have a right to put (“Put Right”) their noncontrolling shares at €22.99 per share increased annually for interest in the amount of 5 percentage points above a base rate published by the German Bundesbank semi-annually, less any compensation amount or guaranteed dividend already paid by McKesson with respect to the relevant time period (“Put Amount”). The exercise of the Put Right will reduce the balance of redeemable noncontrolling interests. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no material exercises of the Put Right. The balance of redeemable noncontrolling interests is reported as the greater of its carrying value or its maximum redemption value at each reporting date. The redemption value is the Put Amount adjusted each period for exchange rate fluctuations. At December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests of $1.40 billion and $1.39 billion exceeded the maximum redemption value of $1.24 billion and $1.23 billion. At December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company owned approximately 77% of McKesson Europe’s outstanding common shares.

The Company allocated a total of $45 million and $130 million of net income to noncontrolling interests during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and $46 million and $135 million during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018.
