Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract] |
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Disclosure [Text Block] | Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests In connection with the acquisition of a 71 percent ownership interest in naviHealth described in Note 2, we recognized noncontrolling interests with a fair value of $119 million at the acquisition date. The noncontrolling interests are redeemable at the option of the third-party noncontrolling interest holders at any time after the two-year anniversary of the closing, or earlier if a trigger event occurs. As such, the noncontrolling interests have been presented as redeemable noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The noncontrolling interests will be adjusted each period for net earnings and dividends attributable to the noncontrolling interests and changes in the noncontrolling ownership interests in naviHealth, if any. An additional adjustment to the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests may be required if the redemption value under the terms of the agreement exceeds the carrying value. Changes in the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests related to a change in the redemption value will be recorded through retained earnings and will not affect net earnings attributable to Cardinal Health, Inc. The reconciliation of the changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests are as follows:
