Business Combinations
Under U.S. GAAP, loss of control events can significantly impact the financial statements, often involving the recognition of previously unreported gains or losses for the former controlling entity. In practice, the combination of complex capital structures, multiple sources of authoritative guidance on accounting for noncontrolling interests, and multiple policy elections available to reporting entities can make this objective difficult to achieve. This non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, the Company’s consolidated income statements and balance sheets as of the relevant date. Consistent with Regulation G, a description of such information is provided below and a reconciliation of such items to GAAP information can be found within this press release as well as in our periodic filings with the SEC. Consolidated and combined financial statements are two types of financial statements that are used to provide information about the financial performance of a company.

As discussed further under “Non-GAAP Measures”, Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore’s results across several periods and better reflects how management views its operating results. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S.
ACCOUNTING for Everyone
Goodwill is amortized into an expense account over time after an impairment test. This is done under the purchase-acquisition accounting method approved by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Most shareholders of public companies would be classified as holding non-controlling interests even with a 5% to 10% equity stake that would be considered to be a large holding in a single company. A non-controlling interest may be contrasted with a controlling or majority interest in a company where the investor does have voting rights and can often affect the course of the company. Accounting for this involves adjusting the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest to reflect its fair value at the redemption date, with the difference recorded in equity.

FAQs on Non-Controlling Interest Accounting
Both U.S. GAAP and IFRS requires reporting entities to apply the equity method of accounting when they possess significant influence, but do not control a subsidiary. After the initial acquisition, NCI must be adjusted to reflect changes in the subsidiary’s financial position and performance. These adjustments ensure the consolidated financial statements present an accurate picture of the group’s financial health. Adjustments typically involve allocating the subsidiary’s profits or losses to the NCI based on the percentage ownership held by non-controlling shareholders. On the income statement, the parent company is consolidating activity of all joint ventures they are in control of (i.e. +50% ownership). This means that 100% of the revenue and expenses for consolidated subsidiaries will see their financial figures reported directly in the appropriate categories on the income statement.
Accounting for non-controlling interests varies depending on the legal form of the entity and the structure of the capital in place. It is influenced by whether interests are equity-classified or redeemable, and whether they align with common stock ownership or legal-form liability. The realm of accounting for noncontrolling interests is shaped by elaborate guidance from authoritative bodies and interpreted by experts to ensure clarity in financial reporting. Both U.S. GAAP and IFRS have their respective frameworks that direct the accounting treatments for these interests. Net identifiable assets are also a point of concern, where all assets and liabilities of the acquiree are recognized at fair value and form part of the consideration transferred in the combination. Under IFRS, entities have an option on a transaction-by-transaction basis to measure non-controlling interests.
Diluted EPS takes into account the potential dilution of the company’s shares, such as stock options and convertible bonds.

Cross-checking calculations against financial statements ensures the integrity of financial reporting. This involves reviewing financial data to confirm that net income attributable aligns with the income statement.
