Variable interest entities

The Company relies on the operating activities of certain legal entities that it does not directly own or control, but over which it has indirect influence and of which it is considered the primary beneficiary. These entities are subject to the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities (VIEs).

There have been no material changes in the nature of the Company's arrangements with VIEs or its judgments concerning them from those described in Note 23 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the 10-K.

At September 30, 2019, these condensed consolidated financial statements include total assets of VIEs of $389,284 and total liabilities and noncontrolling interests of VIEs to third parties of $273,660.
