Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Through March 30, 2024, the Company holds several redeemable noncontrolling interests. Since the Company has the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders have the right to require the Company to purchase the remaining interest, which represents a derivative embedded within the equity instrument, the noncontrolling interest is classified in the mezzanine section of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, which is presented above the equity section and below liabilities.
The redeemable noncontrolling interests are measured at the greater of (i) the redemption amount or (ii) the historical value resulting from the original acquisition date fair value, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interest’s share of net income (loss), equity capital contributions and distributions. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is determined using the income approach, with key assumptions being projected cash flows and discount rates based on market participant’s weighted average cost of capital. To the extent redemption value exceeds carrying value, adjustments are recorded to additional paid-in capital, with any cumulative excess of redemption value over fair value recorded in retained earnings, which impacts net income available to common shareholders used in the calculation of earnings per common share.
Noveprim
The Company holds a 90% ownership interest in Noveprim. The Company has the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders have the right to sell, the remaining 10% equity interest at a fixed redemption value that ranges from $47.0 million to $54.0 million depending on when exercised. The Company has the call option right to purchase the remaining 10% equity up until one month after the sixth anniversary of closing the 41% equity stake (December 2029). On the first anniversary of the expiration of the call option (December 2030), a 12-month put option will be triggered giving the seller the right to require the Company to acquire the remaining shares of the seller for $54.0 million. Additionally, the 10% noncontrolling interest holders may receive a dividend disproportionate to their equity ownership, of which the fair value of $8 million as of the acquisition date was recorded within the redeemable noncontrolling interest. Through March 30, 2024, incremental dividends based on Noveprim statutory net income attributed to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holders of $5.2 million reduced net income available to common shareholders used in the calculation of earnings per common share. The redemption value is accreted to the put purchase price of $54.0 million using the interest method through December 2030. As of March 30, 2024, the redemption value of $45.8 million exceeded both the carrying value and fair value, resulting in both an adjustment to additional paid in capital of $1.7 million and an adjustment to retained earnings of $0.4 million, respectively.
Other redeemable noncontrolling interest
In 2019, the Company acquired an 80% equity interest in a subsidiary, which included a 20% redeemable noncontrolling interest. In June 2022, the Company purchased an additional 10% interest in the subsidiary for $15.0 million, resulting in a remaining noncontrolling interest of 10%. Beginning in 2024, the Company has the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders have the right to sell, the remaining 10% equity interest at its appraised value. The redemption value is measured at the greater of the appraised value or a predetermined floor. The amount that the Company could be required to pay to purchase the remaining 10% equity interest is not limited. As of March 30, 2024, the redemption value of $12.0 million exceeded the carrying value, resulting in an adjustment to additional paid in capital of $2.8 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 10% for $12.0 million.
Vital River
The Company held a 92% ownership interest in Vital River, a commercial provider of research models and related services in China as of December 31, 2022. The Company had the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders had the right to sell, the remaining 8% equity interest at a contractually defined redemption value, subject to a redemption floor. The amount that the Company could be required to pay to purchase the remaining 8% equity interest was not limited. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company acquired the remaining 8% and paid $4.8 million of the total $24.4 million due. The remaining purchase price payable was included in Accrued liabilities within the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023 and is expected to be paid during fiscal year 2024.
Nonredeemable Noncontrolling Interest
The Company has an investment in an entity whose financial results are consolidated in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as it has the ability to exercise control over this entity. The interest of the noncontrolling party in this entity has been recorded as nonredeemable noncontrolling interest within Equity in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The activity within the nonredeemable noncontrolling interest was not significant during the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023.
