Joint Venture And Non Controlling Interest [Abstract] |
Joint Venture and Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest | Note 11. Joint Venture and Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest As described in Note 2, in September 2018, the Company entered into a JVA with VWGoA and VGA and formed QSV. The Company determined the entity was a VIE with a related party, and the Company’s operations were more closely associated with QSV. As such, the Company consolidates QSV for financial reporting purposes, and a non-controlling interest is recorded for VGA’s interest in the net assets and operations of QSV’s operations to the extent of the VGA investment. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets includes $3.4 million cash and cash equivalents of QSV as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Although the Company has consolidated the net assets of QSV, it has no right to the use of those assets for its standalone operations. The following table sets forth the change in redeemable non-controlling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (amounts in thousands):
|  | Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest |
Balance as of December 31, 2021 |  | $ | 1,693 |
Net loss attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest in QSV |  |  | (2 | )
Balance as of September 30, 2022 |  | $ | 1,691 |
|  | Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest |
Balance as of December 31, 2020 |  | $ | 1,704 |
Net loss attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest in QSV |  |  | (10 | )
Balance as of September 30, 2021 |  | $ | 1,694 |
In May 2020, the Company amended the JVA and other related agreements regarding QSV in connection with VGA’s investment of $200.0 million in the Company’s Series F convertible preferred stock. The Company determined the amendments represented a reconsideration event and determined that QSV is still a variable interest entity. As the significance and nature of the business of QSV continues to be more aligned with the core business of the Company and the Company continues to absorb a majority of the variability associated with QSV’s anticipated economic performance, the Company continues to be the related party most closely associated with QSV. In September 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with VWGoA under which the Company agreed to reserve $134.0 million from the aggregate proceeds of the Series F Preferred Stock financings and the Business Combination to fund its expected equity contributions to QSV, which amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2022.
