Certain of our noncontrolling interests have redemption features that are outside of our control, such as those subject to put options exercisable at a future date. We account for these as redeemable noncontrolling interests and present the balances outside of stockholders' equity on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. There was no material activity related to redeemable noncontrolling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Fevertree Transactions
Effective February 1, 2025, we obtained exclusive rights via a license agreement to produce, market and sell Fever-Tree products in the U.S. In connection with this agreement, we acquired the shares of the Fevertree USA, Inc. entity, with the immaterial acquisition accounted for as a business combination and consideration allocated primarily to working capital balances. The acquisition is aligned with our strategy to expand beyond the beer aisle.
Further, we made an investment of $88.1 million in Fevertree Drinks plc, a listed entity on the London Stock Exchange (LSE:FEVR). See Note 3, "Investments" for further discussion of our investment in Fevertree Drinks plc.
