10.5 Equity method investments—statement of other comprehensive income
Publication date: 28 Jun 2021
us Financial statement presentation guide 10.5
As discussed in ASC 323-10-35-18, a reporting entity is required to record its proportionate share of its equity method investees' comprehensive income. This requirement is consistent with the guidance in ASC 323-10-35-15, which indicates that an investee's transactions that are of a capital nature and affect the investor's share of the investee's stockholders' equity should be accounted for as if the investee were a consolidated subsidiary.
The format used by an investee to report comprehensive income, including other comprehensive income (OCI), should not impact how the investor displays its proportionate share of OCI of its investee. Accordingly, an investor is permitted to combine its proportionate share of OCI from an equity method investment with its own OCI items and report those aggregated amounts (by each category).
Alternatively, as depicted in Figure FSP 10-3, an investor would be permitted to separately report OCI items related to an equity method investee.

10.5.1 Equity method—foreign entity
Reporting entities should also apply the guidance applicable to OCI and cumulative translation adjustments accounted for in accordance with ASC 830 for equity method investments that are (or are part of) a foreign entity, and for domestic equity method investments that have an investment in a foreign entity. When the equity method is used, the reporting entity’s financial statements should include a proportionate share of any investee’s translation adjustments (e.g., when the investee has a subsidiary that is a foreign entity) in OCI, as well as its proportionate share of the direct effects of translating an equity method investee that reports in a foreign currency (e.g., the investee is a foreign entity). See FX 5 for further guidance on foreign currency translation adjustments.
