NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The Pro Forma Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC RegulationS-X. Schwab’s fiscal year end is December 31 and TD Ameritrade’s fiscal year end is September 30. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 combines Schwab’s historical audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and TD Ameritrade’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, giving effect to the merger as if it was completed on December 31, 2019.
The Pro Forma Statement of Income combines the Schwab historical audited consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the TD Ameritrade historical consolidated statement of income for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2019. For the purpose of preparing the Pro Forma Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2019, the “TD Ameritrade Historical —After Reclassification” column, which represents the trailing twelve month period ended December 31, 2019, was derived by subtracting TD Ameritrade’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended December 31, 2018 from its historical audited consolidated statement of income for the year ended September 30, 2019, and by adding TD Ameritrade’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended December 31, 2019.
Certain financial information of TD Ameritrade, as presented in its historical consolidated financial statements, has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation in Schwab’s consolidated financial statements for the purpose of preparing the Pro Forma Financial Statements. Certain financial information of Schwab, as presented in its historical consolidated financial statements, has been reclassified for the purpose of preparing the Pro Forma Financial Statements to reflect planned changes in Schwab’s presentation subsequent to the merger. Refer to Note 3 of the Statements for explanations of these reclassifications.
The merger will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805,Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with Schwab as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Under ASC 805, the total Purchase Price was calculated as described in Note 4 of the Statements. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed from TD Ameritrade have been measured at their estimated fair values on the assumed acquisition date, except for certain exceptions to the recognition principle of acquisition accounting, such as leases, share-based payments, and income taxes. The excess of the Purchase Price over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. Subsequent to the completion of the merger, Schwab and TD Ameritrade will finalize an integration plan, which may affect how the assets acquired, including intangible assets, will be utilized by the combined company.
The income tax effects of pro forma adjustments are calculated based on a blended U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate of 24.32%.
Upon consummation of the merger and the completion of a valuation, the Purchase Price as well as the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities will be updated and finalized as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the merger date.
2. Accounting Policies
As part of preparing the Pro Forma Financial Statements, Schwab conducted a preliminary review of the accounting policies of TD Ameritrade, but did not note any material differences in accounting policies that would require pro forma adjustments to conform to Schwab’s accounting policies. Further, Schwab considered the difference in TD Ameritrade’s fiscal year end and its impact on the adoption of new accounting standards and noted no material impacts.
