Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On July 1, 2014, Acxiom Corporation (“Acxiom” or “the Company”) consummated the transactions contemplated by a Merger Agreement with Big Sky Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Subsidiary”), a Delaware corporation and direct and wholly owned subsidiary of Acxiom, LiveRamp, Inc. (“LiveRamp”), a Delaware corporation, and The Brenner Group, Inc., as stockholder representative. Under the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Subsidiary was merged with and into LiveRamp (“Merger”).
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical financial statements of Acxiom and LiveRamp described below. Both LiveRamp and Acxiom’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, excluding discontinued operations. Acxiom’s fiscal year is different than LiveRamp’s fiscal year. Acxiom’s fiscal year ends on March 31, while LiveRamp’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines Acxiom’s historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 with LiveRamp’s historical condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 combines Acxiom’s historical condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 with LiveRamp’s unaudited historical condensed statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 combines Acxiom’s historical condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 with LiveRamp’s historical condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with Acxiom treated as the acquiring entity. Accordingly, the aggregate value of the consideration paid by Acxiom to complete the Merger will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from LiveRamp based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the Merger. As of the date of this Form 8-K/A, Acxiom has not completed the detailed valuations necessary to determine the final fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from LiveRamp and the related allocations of purchase price, nor has Acxiom identified all adjustments necessary to conform LiveRamp’s accounting policies to Acxiom’s accounting policies. Additionally, a final determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from LiveRamp will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of LiveRamp that existed as of the date of the Merger. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price adjustments are preliminary, are 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 condensed combined financial information. Acxiom estimated the fair value of LiveRamp’s assets and liabilities based on due diligence, discussions with LiveRamp’s management and preliminary valuation estimates. As the final valuations are being performed, increases or decreases in the fair value of relevant balance sheet accounts will result in adjustments, which may be material, to the balance sheet and/or statements of operations.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the accompanying notes have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with (1) the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Acxiom contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014, (2) the audited consolidated financial statements of Acxiom contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and (3) the historical audited financial statements and notes thereto of LiveRamp for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto of LiveRamp for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which are included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent Acxiom’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position had the Merger occurred on the dates assumed, nor is this financial information necessarily indicative of Acxiom’s future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. Acxiom expects to incur costs and realize benefits associated with integrating the operations of Acxiom and LiveRamp. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the costs of any integration activities, the benefits that may result from operating efficiencies or the revenue synergies that may result from the Merger.

ACXIOM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical financial statements of Acxiom and LiveRamp described below. Both LiveRamp and Acxiom’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, excluding discontinued operations. Acxiom’s fiscal year is different than LiveRamp’s fiscal year. Acxiom’s fiscal year ends on March 31, while LiveRamp’s ends on December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines Acxiom’s historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 with LiveRamp’s historical condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 and includes estimated pro forma adjustments reflecting the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to identifiable net assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the excess purchase price allocated to goodwill as described below. These adjustments are subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed and such adjustments could be material. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 combines Acxiom’s historical condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 with LiveRamp’s historical condensed statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 combines Acxiom’s historical condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 with LiveRamp���s historical condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from operating efficiencies.
2. PURCHASE PRICE:
Acxiom acquired LiveRamp for a total purchase price of $284.7 million representing cash of $277.7 million ($265.7 million net of cash acquired) and assumed unvested stock options of $7.0 million included in the purchase price.
The table below represents a preliminary allocation of the total consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from LiveRamp based on Acxiom’s preliminary estimate of their respective fair value as if the Merger had occurred on June 30, 2014 (dollars in thousands):
| | Purchase Price Allocation | |
Cash | | $ | 12,016 | |
Restricted cash | | | 31,000 | |
Accounts receivable, net | | | 4,977 | |
Other current assets | | | 582 | |
Deferred income tax asset | | | 44 | |
Property, plant and equipment, net | | | 937 | |
Goodwill | | | 222,857 | |
Intangible assets | | | 54,300 | |
Other noncurrent assets | | | 16 | |
Accounts payable | | | (2,354 | ) |
Escrow payable | | | (31,000 | ) |
Current liabilities | | | (2,244 | ) |
Deferred income tax liability | | | (6,465 | ) |
Total estimated purchase price | | $ | 284,666 | |
Upon completion of the fair value assessment, Acxiom anticipates 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.
3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not include any material non-recurring charges that will result from the Merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the following:
(a) | A $277.7 million adjustment to reflect cash paid on the date of acquisition, and a $7.0 million adjustment to reflect the fair value of assumed unvested stock options included in the purchase price. An adjustment of $31.0 million to reflect a cash component of the purchase price held in escrow by Acxiom. A $0.4 million adjustment to accrued expenses to reflect an estimate of sales tax liability. |
(b) | The elimination of all of LiveRamp’s equity. |
(c) | Adjustments of $6.4 million, net, to principally reflect deferred tax assets related to LiveRamp’s net operating loss carry forwards and deductible stock-based compensation of $12.6 million and deferred tax liabilities related to amortizable intangible assets recorded as part of purchase accounting of $19.0 million. |
(d) | A $54.3 million adjustment to reflect identifiable intangible assets associated with adjustments to the fair value of LiveRamp’s intangible assets and a $222.9 million adjustment to reflect the excess of acquisition cost over the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible net assets acquired as part of purchase accounting. Identifiable intangible assets include developed technology, customer relationship, and trade name. Intangible asset amortization will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 2 to 6 years. As a result of this adjustment, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations reflect an increase in amortization expense of $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $10.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2014, respectively. |
(e) | Adjustments of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $4.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2014 to eliminate revenue from sales of LiveRamp products to Acxiom. |
(f) | Adjustments of $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $20.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2014 to record compensation expense related to converted stock options and restricted stock units granted to employees of LiveRamp. These adjustments are shown as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. |
(g) | Adjustments of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $9.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2014 to record an income tax benefit associated with the pro forma adjustments. This adjustment is based on Acxiom’s statutory rates in effect for the periods presented. |
