Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities The change in net cash used in financing activities in 2020 compared to net cash provided by financing activities in 2019 is primarily due to lower net proceeds related to Class B noncontrolling interests (see Note 13 - Class B Noncontrolling Interests), debt retirements in 2020 compared to debt issuances in 2019 and higher partner distributions, partly offset by higher proceeds related to differential membership interests.
