Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On February 22, 2021, Goodyear entered into the Merger Agreement along with Cooper Tire and Merger Sub, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Goodyear, pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Goodyear will acquire Cooper Tire by way of the merger of Merger Sub with and into Cooper Tire, with Cooper Tire surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodyear. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, Cooper Tire stockholders will be entitled to receive $41.75 per share in cash and a fixed exchange ratio of 0.907 shares of Goodyear common stock per share of Cooper Tire common stock (subject to potential adjustment as described in the Merger Agreement). Goodyear expects to complete the merger in the second half of 2021, however the transaction could close earlier, following and subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waiver of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (“pro forma combined statements”) give effect to the merger on a combined basis. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations (“pro forma statement of operations”) give effect to the merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020 and combines the consolidated statements of operations of Goodyear and Cooper Tire for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet (“pro forma balance sheet”) gives effect to the merger as if it had occurred on March 31, 2021 and combines the consolidated balance sheets of Goodyear and Cooper Tire as of March 31, 2021. These statements and related notes, collectively referred to as “pro forma financial information”, have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the accompanying notes to the pro forma combined statements and the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021 for both Goodyear and Cooper Tire.
The pro forma financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations” which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date with limited exceptions.
The historical consolidated financial information of Goodyear and Cooper Tire has been adjusted in the pro forma combined statements to give effect to pro forma events, including the merger and related financing. The pro forma combined statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes and do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from the realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies or any other synergies that may result from the merger, including income tax synergies.
The statements and related notes are being provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what Goodyear’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the merger been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of Goodyear’s future results of operations or financial position for any future period following the merger. Goodyear has completed a preliminary purchase price allocation to provide an estimate of the fair values associated with certain of Cooper Tire’s assets and liabilities acquired (discussed in the notes below). A final determination of the fair value of Cooper Tire’s assets and liabilities, including intangible assets with both indefinite or finite lives, will be based on Cooper Tire’s actual assets and liabilities at closing. As the fair value analysis has not been finalized, any changes in the fair value of the net assets acquired as compared with the information shown in the pro forma combined statements may change the amount of the allocation of the total purchase consideration to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact Goodyear’s statement of operations. The final purchase consideration allocation may be materially different than the preliminary purchase consideration allocation presented in the pro forma combined statements.
The accounting adjustments for the acquisition consist of those necessary to account for the acquisition and are based upon available information and certain assumptions that Goodyear believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The assumptions underlying the adjustments are described in greater detail in the accompanying notes to the pro forma combined statements. In many cases, the assumptions were based on preliminary information and estimates.
For purposes of the pro forma combined statements, Goodyear has assumed the issuance of new senior notes in the amount of $1,450 million, the proceeds of which, together with cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility, will be used to finance the cash portion of the acquisition price in the merger. We have assumed a blended interest rate of 5.10% for these notes. The adjustments related to the issuance of this debt, as well as the estimated repayment of Cooper Tire debt using existing Cooper Tire cash are shown in a separate column as “Other Adjustments”. Although Goodyear intends to fund the merger with long term financing arrangements similar to those described above, the terms of those arrangements are estimates at this time and may change based on market conditions.
