Variable Interest Entities |
Variable Interest Entities | Note C – Variable Interest Entities The Company invests in certain tax credit funds that promote renewable energy and generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits. The Company considers its investment in these tax credit funds as investments in variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The Company evaluates the investment in any VIE to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary. The Company considers a variety of factors in identifying the entity that holds the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance including, but not limited to, the ability to direct financing, leasing, construction and other operating decisions and activities. As of November 23, 2024, the Company held tax credit equity investments that were deemed to be VIEs and determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of the entities, as it did not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted the entities and accounted for these investments using the equity method. The Company’s maximum exposure to losses is generally limited to its net investment, which was $84.9 million and $53.9 million as of November 23, 2024, and August 31, 2024, respectively, and was included within the Other long-term assets caption in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
