REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Post holds 97.5 million BellRing LLC units, equal to 71.2% of the economic interest in BellRing LLC, and may redeem BellRing LLC units for, at BellRing LLC’s option (as determined by its Board of Managers), (i) one share of Class A Common Stock or (ii) cash (based on the market price of the shares of Class A Common Stock). The redemption of BellRing LLC units for shares of Class A Common Stock will be at an initial redemption rate of one share of Class A Common Stock for one BellRing LLC unit, subject to customary redemption rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications.

Post’s ownership of BellRing LLC units represents an NCI to the Company, which is classified outside of permanent stockholders’ equity as the BellRing LLC units are redeemable at the option of Post, through Post’s ownership of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (see Note 1). The carrying amount of the NCI is the greater of (i) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the NCI’s share of net income or loss, other comprehensive income (“OCI”) or loss and distributions or dividends or (ii) the redemption value. As of March 31, 2020, the carrying amount of the NCI was recorded at its redemption value of $1,661.9. Changes in the redemption value of the NCI are recorded to additional paid-in capital, to the extent available, and “Accumulated deficit” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

As of March 31, 2020, BellRing Inc. owned 28.8% of the outstanding BellRing LLC units. The financial results of BellRing LLC and its subsidiaries were consolidated with BellRing Inc., and 71.2% of the consolidated net earnings of BellRing LLC were allocated to the NCI to reflect the entitlement of Post to a portion of the consolidated net earnings.

The following table summarizes the changes to the Company’s NCI. The period ended March 31, 2020 represents the period beginning October 21, 2019, the effective date of the IPO, and ending March 31, 2020 (see Note 1).
