Non-Controlling Interests

Note 11 - Non-Controlling Interests

The Company reports a non-controlling interest representing the LLC interests of HoldCo held by Continuing LLC Owners. Changes in PetIQ’s ownership interest in HoldCo while PetIQ retains its controlling interest in HoldCo will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of LLC interests of HoldCo by the Continuing LLC Owners will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase or decrease additional paid-in capital when HoldCo has positive or negative net assets, respectively. The Company is also required to make tax distributions based on the LLC Agreement to Continuing LLC Members on a regular basis, these distributions will reduce the non-controlling interest.

As of December 31, 2019, there were 28,306 thousand LLC Interests outstanding, of which PetIQ owned 23,554thousand, representing a 83.2% ownership interest in HoldCo.
