Noncontrolling Interests

In certain of our strategic investments we have purchased a controlling equity stake, but there remains a minority portion of the equity that is owned by a third party. The balance sheet and operating activity of these entities are included in our consolidated financial statements and we adjust the net income in our consolidated statement of operations to exclude the noncontrolling interests' proportionate share of results. We present the proportionate share of equity attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests as temporary equity within our consolidated balance sheet and the proportionate share of noncontrolling interests not subject to a redemption provision that is outside of our control as equity.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests

On April 15, 2015, we acquired 70% of the outstanding shares of Exagroup. The remaining 30% is considered a redeemable noncontrolling equity interest, as it is redeemable in the future and not solely within our control. The Exagroup noncontrolling interest, redeemable at a fixed amount of €39,000, was recorded at its fair value as of the acquisition date and will be adjusted to its redemption value on a periodic basis, if that amount exceeds its carrying value. During the year ended ended June 30, 2016, the losses attributable to the noncontrolling interest, primarily due to the goodwill impairment loss as discussed in Note 9, reduced the carrying value below the fixed redemption amount. We recorded an adjustment of $7,025 to increase the carrying value to the fixed redemption amount, which offset the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest during the year ended June 30, 2016.

On April 3, 2014, we acquired 97% of the outstanding corporate capital of Pixartprinting S.p.A. The remaining 3% is considered a redeemable noncontrolling equity interest, as it is redeemable for cash based on future financial results and not solely within our control. The redeemable noncontrolling interest was recorded at its fair value as of the acquisition date and will be adjusted to its redemption value on a periodic basis, with an offset to retained earnings, if that amount exceeds its carrying value. During year ended June 30, 2016, we increased the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest by $5,879 to reflect the estimated redemption value as of June 30, 2016. As the formulaic redemption value exceeded the fair value of noncontrolling interest as of June 30, 2016, $960 of the accretion was recorded as an offset to the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest with the remaining accretion of $4,919 recorded to retained earnings.

We own a 51% controlling interest in a joint business arrangement with Plaza Create Co. Ltd., a leading Japanese retailer of photo products, to expand our market presence in Japan. During the year ended June 30, 2016, we contributed an additional $5,350 in cash and Plaza Create made a capital contribution of $5,141 in cash to the joint business. We have a call option to acquire the remaining 49% of the business if Plaza Create materially breaches any of its contracts with us. If we materially breach any of our contracts with Plaza Create, Plaza Create has an option to put its shares to us. As the exercise of this put option is not solely within our control, the noncontrolling equity interest in the business is presented as temporary equity in our consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2016, it is not probable that the noncontrolling interest will be redeemable.

Noncontrolling interest

On August 7, 2014, we made a capital investment in Printi LLC as described in Note 16. The noncontrolling interest was recorded at its estimated fair value as of the investment date. The allocation of the net loss of the operations to the noncontrolling interest considers our stated liquidation preference in applying the loss to each party.

The following table presents the reconciliation of changes in our noncontrolling interests:

(1) Accretion of redeemable noncontrolling interests to redemption value recognized in retained earnings is the result of the redemption amount estimated to be greater than carrying value but less than fair value.

(2) Accretion to redemption value recognized in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest is the result of the redemption amount estimated to be greater than both the carrying value and fair value of the noncontrolling interest. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the redemption amount of two redeemable noncontrolling interests were estimated at an amount greater than carrying value and fair value.
