NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

The following table presents the reconciliation of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests to comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:

			Years Ended December 31,
			2020												2019						2018
			(in thousands)
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests			$	20,580											$	38,663					$	32,614
Foreign currency translation attributable to noncontrolling interests			14,643												(2,725)						(2,696)
Comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests			$	35,223											$	35,938					$	29,918

On October 1, 2020, we paid €493 million ($578.2 million equivalent as of October 1, 2020) to increase our controlling financial interest in Comercia Global Payments Entidad de Pago, S.L. (“Comercia”) from 51% to 80%. We funded the transaction with a combination of available cash and borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility. The transaction resulted in a reduction in equity attributable to noncontrolling interests of approximately $68.4 million and a reduction in total equity attributable to Global Payments of approximately $509.8 million. The net effects of the transaction include a reclassification of an accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency translation of $12.1 million from noncontrolling interests to equity attributable to Global Payments.
