The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Transaction been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income do not include any pro forma adjustments to reflect expected cost savings or restructuring actions which may be achievable or the impact of anynon-recurring activity andone-time transaction related costs.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under existing United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which are subject to change. Tenneco will be deemed the acquirer for accounting purposes and Federal-Mogul will be treated as the acquiree, based on a number of factors considered at the time of preparation of this filing, such as the legal form of the transaction, relative size (assets, revenues, or earnings), terms of the exchange, relative voting rights in the combined company after the business combination, etc. The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Tenneco intends to complete the valuations and other studies upon completion of the Transaction and will finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but in no event later than one year following the closing date of the Transaction. The assets and liabilities of Federal-Mogul have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that Tenneco believes are reasonable, based on information that is currently available. Under the HSR Act, and other relevant laws and regulations, before the closing of the transaction, there are significant limitations regarding what Tenneco can learn about Federal-Mogul. Accordingly, the valuations are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing pro forma condensed combined financial information prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by Tenneco in all material aspects. Upon completion of the Transaction, Tenneco will perform a detailed review of Federal-Mogul’s accounting policies. As a result of that review, Tenneco may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the combined company.
Additionally, certain financial information of Federal-Mogul as presented in its historical financial statements has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation in Tenneco’s financial statements for purposes of preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (see Note 9). Transactions between Tenneco and Federal-Mogul during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information were not significant.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the Transaction, as if the Transaction had been completed on June 30, 2018 for balance sheet purposes, and January 1, 2017 for statement of income purposes. This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from and should be read in conjunction with the separate (i) unaudited financial statements of Tenneco as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the related notes included in Tenneco’s Quarterly Report on Form10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2018 that Tenneco filed with the SEC on August 7, 2018, (ii) audited financial statements of Tenneco as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the related notes, which have been retrospectively adjusted to give effect to a change in Tenneco’s reportable segments and the adoption of certain new accounting standards, included in this Current Report on Form8-K, (iii) Federal-Mogul’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Form8-K that Tenneco filed with the SEC on June 26, 2018, and (iv) and Federal-Mogul’s unaudited financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 included in this Current Report on Form8-K.
