GTT Communications, Inc.
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information
Introduction
On October 1, 2014, GTT Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GTT” or the “Company”), Global Telecom & Technology Americas, Inc., a Virginia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”), and GTT USNi, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with American Broadband, Inc. d/b/a United Network Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“UNSi”), and Francis D. John, as the representative of UNSi’s stockholders and warrantholders. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser acquired UNSi through the merger of Merger Sub with and into UNSi (the “Merger”), with UNSi being the surviving corporation. The closing of the Merger occurred simultaneously with the signing of the Merger Agreement.
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the consideration consisted of $30.0 million in cash paid at closing, $4.0 million of deferred cash payable October 1, 2015, the assumption of $18.8 million of liabilities and 231,539 shares of common stock of the Company.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet combines (i) the historical consolidated balance sheets of GTT and UNSi, giving effect to the acquisition as if it had been consummated on September 30, 2014, and (ii) the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013, giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2013.
The historical consolidated financial statements of GTT and UNSi have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the acquisition, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed at the dates indicated. It may be necessary to further reclassify UNSi’s combined financial statements to conform to those classifications that are determined by the combined company to be most appropriate. While some reclassifications of prior periods have been included in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, further reclassifications may be necessary.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with GTT treated as the acquiring entity. Accordingly, consideration paid by GTT to complete the acquisition of UNSi has been allocated to UNSi’s assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of completion of the acquisition.
The pro forma purchase price allocations are preliminary, subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed and have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma combined financial information presented below. GTT estimated the fair value of UNSi’s assets and liabilities based on discussions with UNSi’s management, due diligence and information presented in financial statements. There can be no assurance that the final determination will not result in material changes. GTT expects to incur significant costs associated with integrating GTT’s and UNSi’s businesses. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not reflect the cost of any integration activities or benefits that may result from synergies that may be derived from any integration activities. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not reflect one-time fees and expenses of approximately $6 - 7 million payable by GTT as a result of the acquisition.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements present the pro forma combined financial position and results of operations of the combined company based upon the historical financial statements of GTT and UNSi, after giving effect to the acquisition and adjustments described in these footnotes, and are intended to reflect the impact of the acquisition on GTT.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not give effect to any cost savings, revenue synergies or restructuring costs which may result from the integration of our and UNSi's operations.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet reflects the acquisition as if it has been consummated on September 30, 2014 and includes pro forma adjustments for our preliminary valuations of certain intangible assets. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013, reflects the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2013.
The pro forma combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect the allocation of the purchase price to identifiable net assets acquired and the excess purchase price to goodwill. The preliminary consideration is as presented in the following table.
|
| | | | |
| | Amounts in thousands |
| | |
Purchase Price | |
| Total cash consideration | $ | 29,978 |
|
| Total deferred cash consideration | 4,000 |
|
| Total stock consideration | 2,884 |
|
| Fair value of liabilities assumed | 18,830 |
|
| Total consideration | $ | 55,692 |
|
| | |
Purchase Price Allocation: | |
Acquired Assets | |
| Current assets | $ | 5,934 |
|
| Property and equipment | 11,409 |
|
| Other assets | 1,000 |
|
| Intangible assets | 23,965 |
|
| Total fair value of assets acquired | 42,308 |
|
| Goodwill | 13,384 |
|
| Total consideration | $ | 55,692 |
|
Upon completion of the fair value assessment, we anticipate that the estimated purchase price and its allocation may differ from that outlined above primarily due to changes in assets and liabilities between the date of the preliminary assessment and that of our final assessment.
The current intangible assets acquired were valued based on a preliminary valuation and consist of customer relationships and trade names. Upon completion of the fair value assessment, we anticipate that the final purchase price allocation may differ from the preliminary assessment outlined above. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill.
