UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Overview
On July 1, 2019, Alliance Data Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), along with certain subsidiaries of the Company (together with Alliance Data, the “Sellers”) completed the previously announced sale of the Company’s Epsilon business (“Epsilon”) pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated April 12, 2019, by and among the Sellers, Publicis Groupe, S.A. (“Publicis”), and certain subsidiaries of Publicis (together with Publicis, the “Purchasers”) to the Purchasers for $4.4 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments specified therein. In the first quarter of 2019, Epsilon met the criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Discontinued Operations,” and was classified as a discontinued operation within the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and have been derived from the historical financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are presented based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable.
The unaudited pro forma financial information presents the Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflecting the effect of the divestiture of Epsilon on assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses directly attributable to the sale as well as the use of proceeds to repay debt as required under the Company’s credit agreement, amended on April 30, 2019. The unaudited pro forma statements of income reflect the Epsilon divestiture as if it had occurred on January 1, 2016, the beginning of the earliest period presented. The pro forma balance sheet reflects the Company’s financial position as if the Epsilon divestiture had occurred on March 31, 2019.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2019.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are provided for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the divestiture had been completed as of the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results of the Company. The unaudited condensed pro forma financial statements do not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of the Company following the divestiture.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The historical condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the divestiture and repayment of debt, (ii) expected to have a continuing impact on the future results of the Company, and (iii) factually supportable.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements (i) are presented based on information currently available, (ii) are intended for informational purposes only, (iii) are not necessarily indicative of and do not purport to represent what the Company’s operating results would have been had the Epsilon divestiture and related events occurred as described or what the Company’s future operating results will be after giving effect to these events, and (iv) do not reflect all actions that may be undertaken by the Company after the divestiture of Epsilon. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 includes the following divestiture-related adjustments:
(a) | Reflects the cash proceeds received, net of estimated transaction costs and closing adjustments, in connection with the Epsilon divestiture. |
(b) | Reflects the assets and liabilities classified as held for sale in accordance with ASC 205. |
(c) | Reflects the Company’s income tax payable resulting from the Epsilon divestiture and the write-off of associated deferred tax assets and liabilities. |
(d) | Reflects the preliminary estimated after-tax loss on the sale of Epsilon. The actual after-tax loss to be recorded on the sale of Epsilon may change based on items such as adjustments to the estimated transaction costs as well as final calculations related to the tax basis of the assets. The preliminary estimated loss was calculated as follows (in millions): |
Estimated proceeds, net of transaction costs and closing adjustments | | $ | 4,354.3 | |
Epsilon net assets held for sale | | | (3,832.6 | ) |
Recognition of accumulated translation adjustments resulting from the sale of Epsilon's foreign subsidiaries | | | (26.7 | ) |
Pre-tax gain on sale of Epsilon | | | 495.0 | |
Taxes on gain on sale of Epsilon | | | (831.3 | ) |
Write-off of net deferred tax liabilities | | | 149.7 | |
After-tax loss on sale of Epsilon | | $ | (186.6 | ) |
(e) | Reflects the mandatory repayment of senior debt upon consummation of the sale of Epsilon. Includes a repayment of approximately $1.9 billion of senior notes including related call premiums and a mandatory payment of $500.0 million of the revolving credit facility. |
On April 30, 2019, the Company amended its credit agreement, which among other items, provided that upon consummation of the sale of Epsilon, a mandatory payment of $500.0 million of the revolving credit facility will be required and all of the Company’s outstanding senior notes will be required to be redeemed.
(f) | Reflects the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s revolving credit facility. |
(g) | Reflects the mandatory repayment of senior debt upon consummation of the sale of Epsilon. Includes a repayment of approximately $1.9 billion of senior notes and a mandatory payment of $500.0 million of the revolving credit facility, offset in part by the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s senior notes. |
