Exhibit 99.3

 

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Gray Television Inc. (“Gray” or the “Company”) give effect to the Company’s previously announced February 16, 2016 acquisition of the television and radio broadcast assets of Schurz Communications, Inc. (“Schurz”) for an adjusted purchase price of $443.4 million plus transaction related expenses (the “Schurz Acquisition”), and the Related Transactions, and the Divestiture of Radio (each as described below). In connection with the Schurz Acquisition, the Company (i) sold a television station on each of February 1, 2016 and February 16, 2016 and acquired a television station on each of February 1, 2016 and February 16, 2016 to facilitate regulatory approvals for the Schurz Acquisition (collectively, the “Related Transactions”) and (ii) divested the Schurz radio stations to three radio broadcasters on February 16, 2016 (the “Divestiture of Radio”).

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014 were prepared based on the historical: (i) condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Company; and (ii) condensed combined statements of income of Schurz, giving pro forma effect to the Schurz Acquisition, the Related Transactions, and the Divestiture of Radio as if they had all been consummated on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was prepared based on the historical: (i) condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company and (ii) condensed combined balance sheet of Schurz, each as of September 30, 2015, giving pro forma effect to the Schurz Acquisition, the Related Transactions, and the Divestiture of Radio as if they had all been consummated on September 30, 2015.

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statement Considerations

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting, with Gray considered the acquirer of the stations obtained from Schurz and via the Related Transactions. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition, with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. To date, Gray has completed only a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions, and is in the process of completing a final allocation of such purchase price. The final purchase price allocation may differ from that reflected in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, and these differences may be material.

 

Gray has incurred significant costs, and expects to achieve certain revenue and other synergies in connection with the completion of the Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions and the integration of the acquired operations. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies, or any revenue, tax or other synergies expected to result from the Schurz Acquisition.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is being provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations of Gray would have been had the Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions occurred on the date assumed or any other date, nor is it necessarily indicative of Gray’s future results of operations. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon currently available information and estimates and assumptions that Gray management believes are reasonable as of the date hereof. Any of the factors underlying these estimates and assumptions may change or prove to be materially different.

GRAY TELEVISION, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
COMBINED FINANCIAL statements

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements present the pro forma results of operations of Gray based upon the historical financial statements of each of Gray and Schurz, after giving effect to the Schurz Acquisition, the Related Transactions and the Divestiture of Radio, and is intended to reflect their impact on Gray’s historical consolidated results of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 combines the historical consolidated statements of operations of Gray with the historical condensed combined statements of income of Schurz, also giving effect to the Related Transactions and the Divestiture of Radio, as if all of such transactions had occurred as of January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 combines the historical consolidated statements of operations of Gray with the historical condensed combined statements of income of Schurz, also giving effect to the Related Transactions and the Divestiture of Radio, as if all of such transactions had occurred as of January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of Gray with the historical condensed combined balance sheet of Schurz also giving effect to the Related Transactions and the Divestiture of Radio, as if all of such transactions had occurred as of September 30, 2015. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Gray and the unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements of Schurz as of and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, and the audited consolidated financial statements of Gray and the audited condensed combined financial statements of Schurz for their fiscal years ended December 31, 2014.

 

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 realization of future costs savings due to operating efficiencies or revenue synergies expected to result from the Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with Gray considered the acquirer of the stations obtained from Schurz and via the Related Transactions. The following adjustments are reflected:

 

 

(a)

The unaudited historical combined financial information of Schurz has been adjusted to reflect certain reclassifications in order to conform to Gray’s financial statement presentation. Specifically, Schurz operating expense was allocated among three line items: broadcast operating expenses; corporate and administrative operating expenses; and loss (gain) on disposal of assets, net. Schurz depreciation expense and amortization expense were combined into a single line. Schurz interest expense – on debt due to parent and interest expense were combined into a single line item. Schurz other expense (income) was renamed miscellaneous income (expense), net. Such adjustments had no impact on combined historical amounts.

 

 

(b)

Adjustments to reflect the addition or elimination, as applicable, of the results of operations of the stations purchased (WBXX in Knoxville, Tennessee on February 1, 2016 and WLUC in Marquette, Michigan on February 16, 2016), and sold (KAKE in Wichita, Kansas on February 1, 2016 and WSBT in South Bend, Indiana on February 16, 2016) in the Related Transactions.

 

 

(c)

Adjustments to reflect the elimination of the results of operations of the Divestiture of Radio from Schurz’s historical financial statements, as such assets were not retained by Gray.

 

 
5

 

 

 

(d)

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, an adjustment to eliminate $0.5 million in legal and other professional fees related to the Schurz Acquisition which were incurred by Gray, and an adjustment to eliminate $5.1 million of corporate administrative expense which had been allocated to Schurz television stations from Schurz’s parent company and will not recur under Gray ownership. Such corporate assets were not acquired and related costs were not assumed by Gray. For the year ended December 31, 2014, an adjustment to eliminate $5.9 million of corporate administrative expense which had been allocated to Schurz television stations from Schurz’s parent company and will not recur under Gray ownership.

 

 

(e)

Adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense of stations acquired and retained by Gray in the Schurz Acquisition. The adjustment replaces historical depreciation and amortization expense for these stations with depreciation and amortization expense calculated using Gray’s preliminary fair value estimates for assets acquired and useful lives for those assets in accordance with Gray’s depreciation and amortization policies as follows (in thousands):

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the net purchase price to (i) the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Schurz Acquisition and (ii) the non-cash exchange of WSBT for WLUC which was included in the Related Transactions (in thousands):

 

Accounts receivable

Property and equipment

    19,738  

Other assets

    3,430  

Current liabilities

    (8,202 )

Long term broadcast obligations

    (431 )

Total

  $ 427,448  

 

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based upon management’s estimate of fair values using valuation techniques including the income, cost and market approaches. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates, and estimated discount rates.

 

Property and equipment will be depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 years to 40 years.

 

The amount related to other intangible assets represents the estimated fair values of retransmission agreements of $15.1 million; advertising contracts of $0.4 million; advertising relationships of $1.6 million; and favorable leases of $2.6 million. These intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of approximately 4.9 years for retransmission agreements; approximately 2.0 years for advertising contracts; approximately 5.5 years for advertising relationships; and approximately 9.6 years for leases.

 

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce, as well as future synergies that we expect to generate from the Schurz Acquisition. We have preliminarily recorded $61.4 million of goodwill in connection with the Schurz Acquisition, all of which we expect to be deductible for income tax purposes.

 

The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based upon preliminary valuations and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period as additional information is obtained. A decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed in the Schurz Acquisition from the preliminary valuations presented would result in a dollar-for-dollar corresponding increase in the amount of goodwill resulting from the Schurz Acquisition. In addition, if the value of the property and equipment and other intangible assets is higher than the amount included in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, it may result in higher depreciation and amortization expense than is presented herein. Any such increases could be material, and could result in the Company’s actual future financial condition or results of operations differing materially from that presented herein.

(f)
