share of losses
Explanation:
Of if you like "relative share of losses", where the "margine" in this case is a loss and the "di competenza" means the share of the loss borne my minority shareholders or "minority interests".

Hi Phil. It is very clear. "La perdita infragruppo riconosciuta ai terzi" This is intercompany losses attributed to minority interests. Then it explains how this is broken down: "ripartita nelle tre operazioni infragruppo che l’hanno originata"
then there is a list of the items (Mary seems to have omitted the third).
Obviously some years there may be a profit and some years there may be a loss, so the Italian (taken from a template) gives "margine". I translated as loss, because a "margine" in English is usually a percentage.

"margine" for example as in "margine operativo lordo" which is "gross income" or for a minority of US accountants (the same ones who spell sceptic with "k") "gross margin".

neutral  philgoddard: I agree about "share of", but I'm not sure about "losses" for "margini" - we don't have enough context to know this.
