Projecting non-controlling interest

If a firm has a subsidiary where it has complete operational control but there are other public investors with around 50% of shares (the subsidiary is an MLP) then how would you project non-controlling interest in the IS and BS?

Are you projecting the IS for the subsidiary? If so just apply the % not held by the company to the net income of the subsidiary. Else, you could project it as a % of sales or a % of net income. In the the BS it basically shows outside of shareholders equity but still as a component of equity and you just project it like retained earnings (add to the previous years non-controlling interests and deduct any dividends paid to non-controlling interests)

At 50% ownership treat it as an equity stake. Your income from associates line will flow in below EBITDA and the actual dividend paid out by this private Co will flow into your cash flow statement.

In your cash flow of course you need to back out the share of net income before adding in the actual cash dividend received

You record the investment at cost in your assets and every year it increases by your share of the net income (the one flowing into your Income statement) and decreases by the dividend paid to you?
