Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest [Text Block]

3.   Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

On March 1, 2016, the Company acquired a 65% ownership interest in PR Industrial S.r.l. and its subsidiaries (Pramac). The 35% noncontrolling interest in Pramac had an acquisition date fair value of $34,253 and was recorded as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as the noncontrolling interest holder had within its control the right to require the Company to redeem its interest in Pramac. In February 2019, the Company amended its agreement with the noncontrolling interest holder of Pramac, extending the agreement by five years, allowing the Company to exercise its call option rights in partial increments at certain times during the five-year period, and providing that the noncontrolling interest holder no longer held the right to put its shares to the Company until April 1, 2021. The put and call option price is based on a multiple of earnings, subject to a floor and the terms of the acquisition agreement, as amended. In May 2021, the Company exercised its call option rights and paid a purchase price of $27,164 to purchase an additional 15% ownership interest in Pramac, bringing the Company's total ownership interest in Pramac to 80%. The Company still holds its call option right to purchase the remaining 20% ownership interest in partial increments over the next 3 years.  

On February 1, 2019, the Company acquired a 51% ownership interest in Captiva Energy Solutions Private Limited (Captiva). The 49% noncontrolling interest in Captiva had an acquisition date fair value of $3,165 and was recorded as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as the noncontrolling interest holder had within its control the right to require the Company to redeem its interest in Captiva. The noncontrolling interest holder has a put option to sell his interest to the Company any time after five years from the date of acquisition, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain circumstances. Further, the Company has a call option that it may redeem any time after five years from the date of acquisition, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain circumstances. The put and call option price is based on a multiple of earnings, subject to the terms of the acquisition agreement. In March 2022, the Company signed an agreement to purchase an additional 15% ownership interest in Captiva for a purchase price of $461, bringing the Company's total ownership interest in Captiva to 66%. In May 2022, the Company signed an amendment to the purchase agreement resulting in a revised purchase price of $375, which was paid with cash on hand. The Company still holds its call option right to purchase the remaining 34% ownership interest any time after five years from the date of acquisition, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain circumstances.

For both transactions, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the greater of the initial fair value, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interests’ share of comprehensive income (loss), or the estimated redemption value, with any adjustments to the redemption value impacting retained earnings, but not net income. However, the redemption value adjustments are reflected in the earnings per share calculation, as detailed in Note 13, “Earnings Per Share,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table presents the changes in the redeemable noncontrolling interest:
