The consolidated net income of a company includes the result that belongs to minority shareholders of subsidiaries, called in the Income Statement "Attributed to Non-Controlling Partners". The profit that matters to the investor of the company via the Stock Exchange and which serves as the basis for the payment of dividends is called "Attributable to Shareholders of the Parent Company". The higher the % of profit attributed to the parent company's shareholders, the better.
