Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract] |
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests | Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests The Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests primarily relate 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, during 2021, 2020, and 2019, the Company recorded a total attribution of net income to the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe of $43 million, $42 million, and $45 million, respectively. All amounts were recorded in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and the corresponding liability balance was recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” in the Company’s 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 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”). The exercise of the Put Right will reduce the balance of redeemable noncontrolling interests. During 2021, the Company paid $49 million to purchase 1.8 million shares of McKesson Europe through exercises of the Put Right by the noncontrolling shareholders. This decreased the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests by $49 million, and the associated effect of the increase in the Company’s ownership interest on its equity of $3 million was recorded as a net increase to McKesson’s stockholders paid-in capital. During 2020 and 2019, there were no material exercises of the Put Right. The balance of the associated liability for 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 for exchange rate fluctuations each period. The Redeemable noncontrolling interest is also adjusted each period for the proportion of other comprehensive income, primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, attributable to the noncontrolling shareholders. At March 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests of $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, exceeded the maximum redemption value of $1.2 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. At March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company owned approximately 78% and 77%, respectively, of McKesson Europe’s outstanding common shares. Appraisal Proceedings Subsequent to the Domination Agreement’s registration, certain noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe initiated appraisal proceedings (“Appraisal Proceedings”) with the Stuttgart Regional Court (the “Court”) to challenge the adequacy of the Put Amount, annual recurring compensation amount, and/or the guaranteed dividend. During the pendency of the Appraisal Proceedings, such amount was paid as specified currently in the Domination Agreement. On September 19, 2018, the Court ruled that the Put Amount shall be increased by €0.51 resulting in an adjusted Put Amount of €23.50. The annual recurring compensation amount and/or the guaranteed dividend remained unadjusted. Noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe appealed this decision. McKesson Europe Holdings GmbH & Co. KGaA also appealed the decision. On April 12, 2021, the Company received notice that the Stuttgart Court of Appeals ruled that the Put Amount shall remain €22.99, thereby rejecting the lower court’s increase, and the recurring compensation shall remain €0.83 per share. Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests represent third-party equity interests in the Company’s consolidated entities primarily related to ClarusONE and Vantage, which were $196 million and $217 million at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. During 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively, the Company allocated a total of $156 million, $178 million, and $176 million of net income to noncontrolling interests. Changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests for the years ended March 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 were as follows:
