Exhibit 99.3
PEABODY ENERGY CORPORATION
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give
effect to two acquisitions completed by the Company during 2004. On December 2,
2004, the Company completed the acquisition of a 25.5% interest in Carbones del
Guasare, S.A. (the owner of the Paso Diablo Mine) from RAG Coal International AG
for $32.5 million, including $9.5 million of cash and a $23.0 million assumption
of a short-term payable from affiliates of RAG Coal International AG.
On April 15, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the
outstanding ordinary shares and redeemable preference shares of RAG Australia
Coal Pty Limited ("RAG Australia") and all of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of Twentymile Coal Company, Colorado Yampa Coal Company, RAG Empire
Corporation and RAG Shoshone Coal Corporation (collectively, "RAG Colorado").
The purchase price of RAG Australia was $256.2 million, and the purchase price
of RAG Colorado was $186.0 million. The Company financed the purchase price of
the RAG Australia and RAG Colorado acquisitions with the issuance, on March 23,
2004, of $250.0 million of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2016 and 8,825,000 shares of
the Company's common stock, priced at $45.00 per share. Proceeds from the debt
and equity offerings in excess of the purchase price for the RAG Australia and
RAG Colorado acquisitions were used for general corporate purposes. The RAG
Australia and RAG Colorado acquisitions are also discussed in Note 4 to the
Company's September 30, 2004 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in a Current
Report on Form 8-K filed on March 10, 2004.
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2003 assumes that the acquisitions and related financings
occurred on January 1, 2003 and the unaudited pro forma combined statement of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 assumes that the
acquisitions and related financings occurred on January 1, 2004. The unaudited
pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2004 is presented as if the
acquisition of the 25.5% interest in Carbones del Guasare, S.A. had occurred on
that date. The RAG Australia and RAG Colorado acquisitions and related
financings occurred prior to September 30, 2004.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in
conjunction with (i) the historical audited financial statements of the Company
and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004, (ii) the historical audited financial statements of
Carbones del Guasare, S.A. included in this Form 8-K and (iii) the historical
audited financial statements of RAG Australia and RAG Colorado included in the
Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 10, 2004.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are for
informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial
position that would have been obtained or the results of operations that would
have occurred if the acquisitions had been consummated on the dates indicated,
nor are they necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of
operations in the future. The pro forma adjustments, as described in the Notes
to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements, are based upon available information
and upon assumptions that the Company's management believes are reasonable. The
actual amounts the Company records based on its final assessment of fair values
may differ materially from the information presented in these unaudited pro
forma combined financial statements.
