Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest |
19. | Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
On March 5, 2019, the Company acquired Discovery Benefits, an employee benefits administrator. The seller of Discovery Benefits, SBI, obtained a 4.9 percent equity interest in PO Holding, the newly formed parent company of WEX Health and Discovery Benefits. SBI’s 4.9 percent non-controlling interest in the PO Holding was initially established at both carrying value and fair value. The agreement provides SBI with a put right and the Company with a call right for the equity interest, which can be exercised no earlier than seven years following the date of acquisition. Upon exercise of the put or call right, the purchase price is calculated based on a revenue multiple of peer companies (as described in the operating agreement for PO Holding) applied to trailing twelve month revenues of the U.S. Health business. The put option makes the non-controlling interest redeemable and, therefore, the non-controlling interest is classified as temporary equity outside of stockholders’ equity. The Company calculates the redemption value of the non-controlling interest on a quarterly basis using revenue multiples as determined in accordance with the operating agreement for PO Holding and as described above. The redeemable non-controlling interest is reported at the higher of its redemption value or the non-controlling interest holder’s proportionate share of the U.S. Health business’ net carrying value. Any resulting change in the value of the redeemable non-controlling interest is offset against retained earnings and impacts earnings per share. As part of WEX Inc.’s purchase of the HSA contractual rights from Bell Bank, as further described in Note 4, Acquisitions, on April 1, 2021, WEX Inc. and SBI entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of PO Holding LLC (“PO Holding Operating Agreement”), which reflected the Company’s purchase of $11.2 million of SBI’s non-controlling interest in PO Holding, which reduced SBI’s ownership percentage to 4.53 percent and amended the calculation of the price payable by WEX Inc. upon its exercise of its call right or upon SBI’s exercise of its put right to account for revenue generated by the assets acquired from Bell Bank. Pursuant to the PO Holding Operating Agreement, SBI subsequently elected to participate in the equity financing of the benefitexpress Acquisition. As part of the Subscription Agreement more fully described in Note 4, Acquisitions, SBI agreed to pay the Company $12.5 million, which was equal to 4.53 percent of the purchase price. This receivable was ultimately settled through the Payment Offset described in Note 4, Acquisitions. The following table presents the changes in the Company’s redeemable non-controlling interest:
