Non-Controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not owned by the parent company. Even though the parent controls the subsidiary, not all profits and net assets belong to it if outside shareholders also hold an interest. This amount is shown separately in consolidated financial statements.
