Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the acquisition by Meredith Corporation (Meredith) of Time Inc. (Time) (the “Merger”) and the subsequent divestiture by Meredith of Time Inc. (UK) Ltd (TIUK), collectively the “Transactions.” The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings (loss) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, and for the six months ended December 31, 2017, have been prepared as though the Transactions occurred on July 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, has been prepared as if the Transactions occurred as of that date.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the year ended June 30, 2017, for the six months ended December 31, 2017, and as of December 31, 2017, has been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Meredith for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 (audited), for the six months ended December 31, 2017 (unaudited), and as of December 31, 2017 (unaudited), and the unaudited historical consolidated financial statements of Time for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017, for the six months ended December 31, 2017, and as of December 31, 2017, along with certain adjustments.
Time’s fiscal year ended on December 31. Therefore, the Time unaudited historical condensed statement of earnings (loss) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017, has been derived by taking the audited financial information for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, subtracting the unaudited financial information for the first six months of fiscal year 2016 and adding the unaudited financial information for the first six months of fiscal year 2017. The Time unaudited historical condensed statement of earnings (loss) for the six months ended December 31, 2017, has been derived by taking the audited financial information for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and subtracting the unaudited financial information for the first six months of fiscal year 2017.
The pro forma adjustments give effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the Transactions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of earnings (loss), expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company’s results. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and assumptions that management of Meredith believes are reasonable. Such adjustments are estimates and are subject to change.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are provided for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual combined results of operations or the combined financial position of the combined company would have been had the Transactions occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future combined results of operations or combined financial position. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect any cost savings or other synergies that the management of Meredith believes could have been achieved had the Transactions been completed on the dates assumed. Accordingly, no effect has been given to the anticipated annual cost synergies of $400 million to $500 million expected to be generated in first two full years of operations or the related costs to achieve those synergies.
The Merger is being accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805,Business Combinations(ASC 805). Meredith’s cost to acquire Time is allocated to the acquired assets, liabilities, and commitments based upon their estimated fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized as goodwill. Such a valuation requires estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimating future cash flows and direct costs in addition to developing the appropriate discount rates and current market profit margins. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and is dependent upon certain valuations that have not progressed to a stage where there is sufficient information to make a final allocation. In addition, Meredith potentially has not yet identified all adjustments necessary to conform Time’s accounting policies to Meredith’s accounting policies. Accordingly, the adjustments necessary to conform accounting policies may be materially different from the preliminary unaudited pro forma adjustments presented.

The actual amounts recorded as of the completion of the Transactions may differ materially from the information presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as a result of several factors, including the following: changes in Time’s assets and liabilities between the pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, and the closing of the Merger, which could impact the preliminary estimated fair values as of the effective date of the Merger; the value of the combined company at the effective date of the Merger; and other changes in net assets that may have occurred prior to the completion of the Merger, which could cause material differences in the information presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Meredith included in its Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017, and Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, and the historical consolidated financial statements of Time included in its Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and Quarterly Reports onForm 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2017, all of which are on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The historical consolidated financial statements of Time for the year ended December 31, 2017, are filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report onForm 8-K.

2. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SECRegulation S-X. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to unaudited pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Transactions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings (loss), are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the combined company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805,Business Combinations(ASC 805), 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. The acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with ASC 805, uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820,Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes the framework for measuring fair value for any asset acquired or liability assumed under accounting principal generally accepted in the United States, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measurements. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of an asset or liability. Market participants are assumed to be buyers or sellers in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurement for an asset assumes the highest and best use by these market participants, and as a result, assets may be required to be recorded which are not intended to be used or sold. Additionally, the fair value may not reflect management’s intended use for those assets.
Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.
Fair value estimates were determined based on preliminary financial information obtained through discussions between Meredith and Time management, due diligence efforts, and information available in public filings. The allocation of the aggregate Merger consideration used in the preliminary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on preliminary estimates. The final determination of the allocation of the aggregate Merger consideration will be based on the actual tangible and intangible assets and the liabilities of Time at the effective time of the Merger.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the periods or dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined
Page 7
company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has not been adjusted to give effect to certain expected financial benefits of the Merger, such as tax savings, cost synergies or revenue synergies, or the anticipated costs to achieve these benefits, including the cost of integration activities. Also, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect possible adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities that have yet to be determined or transaction or other costs following the combination that are not expected to have a continuing impact on the business of the combined company. Further,one-time transaction-related expenses anticipated to be incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the closing of the Merger are not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings (loss). However, the impact of such transaction expenses is reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as a decrease to retained earnings and as an increase to accrued payables.
Meredith is in the process of performing a detailed review of Time’s accounting policies in an effort to determine if differences in accounting policies require reclassification of Time’s results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to Meredith’s accounting policies and classifications. As a result of that review, Meredith may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on these pro forma condensed combined financial statements. During the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, Meredith was not aware of any material differences between the accounting policies of the two companies and accordingly, these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not assume any material differences in accounting policies between the two companies, other than certain financial statement reclassifications described in Note 3 below.
3. Reclassifications
Certain balances from the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) of Time and Meredith were reclassified to conform their presentation to that of the pro forma financial statements. The reclassifications to conform to Meredith’s presentation for its statements of earnings (loss) had no effect on net income and primarily relate to:
(a) | reclassification of Time revenues from the sale of bookazines from other revenues to circulation revenues in the amounts of $77.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2017, and $33.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017; |
(b) | reclassification of Time revenues for list rentals, app revenues, and book sales from circulation revenues to other revenues in the amounts of $11.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2017, and $5.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017; |
(c) | reclassification of Time depreciation from production, distribution and editorial expenses and from selling, general, and administrative expenses to the depreciation and amortization line item; and |
(d) | reclassification of Meredith restructuring and severance costs from selling, general, and administrative to their own line item to provide additional detail. |

| | | | |
(In thousands) | | | |
Proceeds received from debt issued by Meredith in connection with the Merger net of financing fees | | $ | 3,111,823 | |
Proceeds from issuance of Preferred Stock, options, and warrants, net of issuance costs | | | 631,000 | |
Cash paid to Time shareholders for the purchase of outstanding stock | | | (1,898,304 | ) |

Other assets has been adjusted for the following:
| | | | |
(In thousands) | | | |
Contribution to UK pension from cash proceeds | | $ | 81,102 | |
Adjust retained inactive UK pension to fair value | | | 21,898 | |
Receivable from third-party retained by Meredith in TIUK divestiture | | | 10,138 | |
Payment to fund escrow related to TIUK building lease payments | | | 4,731 | |
Settlement of interest rate swaps due to the payoff of the associated Meredith debt | | | (621 | ) |
| | | | |
Total pro forma adjustment to other assets | | $ | 117,248 | |
| | | | |
Page 10
(d) | Intangible assets, net |
Represents adjustments to record the preliminary estimated fair value of intangibles of approximately $1,171.9 million, which is an increase of $476.8 million over Time’s book value of intangible assets prior to the Merger. Identified intangibles assets expected to be acquired consist of the following:
| | | | |
(In thousands) | | Estimated Fair Value | |
Trademarks | | $ | 137,900 | |
Advertiser relationships | | | 265,000 | |
Subscriber relationships | | | 40,708 | |
Technology | | | 30,282 | |
| | | | |
Acquired identified definite-lived intangible assets | | | 473,890 | |
Acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets - trademarks | | | 698,000 | |
| | | | |
Estimated fair value of identified intangible assets | | $ | 1,171,890 | |
| | | | |
These definite-lived intangible assets are expected to be amortized over the estimated remaining useful lives of five to 20 years for trademarks, four years for advertiser relationships, two years for subscriber relationships, and five to seven years for technology.
The fair value estimate for all identifiable intangible assets is preliminary and is based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset, based on the most advantageous market for the asset (i.e., its highest and best use). This preliminary fair value estimate could include assets that are not intended to be used, may be sold, or are intended to be used in a manner other than their best use. The final determination of fair value of intangible assets, as well as estimated useful lives, remains subject to change. The finalization may have a material impact on the valuation of intangible assets and the purchase price allocation, which is expected to be finalized within one year of the Merger.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets net of liabilities. Goodwill acquired is estimated to be $1,798.3 million. The estimated goodwill to be recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies, expanded market opportunities, and other benefits that Meredith believes will result from combining its operations with the operations of Time. The goodwill created in the Merger is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes and may be subject to material revision as the purchase price allocation is completed.

Page 14
Represents the income tax effect for unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings (loss) adjustments related to the Merger using statutory tax rates. Because the adjustments contained in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are based on estimates, the effective tax rate will likely vary from the effective rate in periods subsequent to the Merger. Adjustments to established deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as the recognition of additional deferred tax assets and liabilities upon detailed analysis of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities may occur in conjunction with the finalization of purchase accounting, and these items could be material.
In accordance with SEC guidelines, the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments have been calculated based on the statutory rates in effect during the periods for which the pro forma financial information is presented.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, approximately 2.7 million outstanding common stock equivalent shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because of the antidilutive effect on the loss per share calculation (the diluted loss per share becoming less negative than the basic loss per share). Therefore, these common stock equivalent shares are not taken into account in determining the weighted average number of shares for the calculation of diluted loss per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.
