Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The Company’s previously recognized redeemable noncontrolling interests primarily related to its consolidated subsidiary, 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. As a result, the Company recorded a total attribution of net income to the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe of $8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. This amount was recorded in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and the corresponding liability balance was recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Under the Domination Agreement, the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe had a right to put (“Put Right”) their noncontrolling shares at €22.99 per share, increased annually for interest in the amount of five 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”). During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company paid $1.0 billion to purchase 34.5 million shares of McKesson Europe through exercises of the Put Right by the noncontrolling shareholders. This decreased the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests by $983 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and the Company recorded the associated effect of the increase in the Company’s ownership interest of $178 million as an increase to McKesson stockholders’ additional paid-in capital. The Put Right expired on June 15, 2021, at which point the remaining shares owned by the minority shareholders, with a carrying value of $287 million, were transferred from “Redeemable noncontrolling interests” to “Noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent third-party equity interests in the Company’s consolidated entities primarily related to ClarusONE Sourcing Services LLP and Vantage Oncology Holdings, LLC. As discussed above, after June 15, 2021, noncontrolling interests also represent minority shareholder equity interests in McKesson Europe. The Company’s noncontrolling interest in McKesson Europe will be included in the sale of the E.U. disposal group, as discussed in Financial Note 2, “Held for Sale.” The Company allocated $41 million and $39 million of net income to noncontrolling interests during the during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which was recorded in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
