Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Compass Minerals International, Inc. (“Compass Minerals” or the “Company”) are presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the October 3, 2016, acquisition of Produquímica Indústria e Comércio S.A. (“Produquímica” and such acquisition, the “Produquímica Acquisition”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of the Company and Produquímica, giving effect to the Produquímica Acquisition as if it had been completed on January 1, 2015. The Company’s initial purchase of a 35% interest in Produquímica occurred in December 2015, and the Company’s purchase of the remaining 65% interest occurred in October 2016; the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations give effect to the purchase of 100% of Produquímica as if it had been completed on January 1, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2016, combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Produquímica and the Company, giving effect to the Produquímica Acquisition and as if it had occurred on September 30, 2016. The historical consolidated financial information for Produquímica has been adjusted to comply with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The classification of certain items presented by Produquímica under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) has been modified in order to align with the presentation used by the Company under U.S. GAAP. In addition to the U.S. GAAP adjustments and certain reclassifications, amounts have also been translated to U.S. dollars.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:
The Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 3, 2016, including the exhibits thereto, which describes the Produquímica Acquisition;
Audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the accompanying notes, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015;
The section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015;
Audited consolidated financial statements of Produquímica audited under generally accepted auditing standards in the United States (“U.S. GAAS”) and prepared following IFRS as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the accompanying notes, which are included in this Amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K;
Unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and the accompanying notes, which are included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2016;
The section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2016; and
Unaudited consolidated financial statements of Produquímica prepared following IFRS as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and the accompanying notes, which are included in this Amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared by the Company, as the acquirer, using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuation assumptions, including those related to the preliminary purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Produquímica based on management’s best estimates of fair value. The pro forma adjustments are based on information available as of the filing date of this Amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K. The final purchase price allocation may vary based on final appraisals, valuations, and analyses of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments related to the preliminary purchase price are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to represent the actual results of operations that the Company and Produquímica would have achieved had the companies been combined during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and is not intended to project the future results of operations that the combined company may achieve after the Produquímica Acquisition. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the Produquímica Acquisition, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any potential operating efficiencies, cost savings or revenue enhancements that may be realized as a result of the Produquímica Acquisition and also does not reflect any restructuring or integration-related costs to achieve those potential cost savings.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
Description of the Produquímica Acquisition and Basis of Pro Forma Presentation


On December 16, 2015, Compass Minerals do Brasil Ltda., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Compass Minerals Brazil”), entered into (i) a subscription agreement and other covenants (as amended, the “Subscription Agreement”) with certain shareholders of Produquímica and Produquímica and (ii) a share purchase and sale agreement and other covenants (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain shareholders of Produquímica and Produquímica. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, Compass Minerals Brazil acquired 35% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Produquímica on December 23, 2015, for R$452.4 million Brazilian Reais (“R” or “BRL”), or $114.1 million U.S. dollars at closing, and paid additional consideration of $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2016 related to Produquímica’s 2015 financial performance.

The Subscription Agreement also contained a put right (the “Put”), allowing the Produquímica shareholders to sell the remainder of their interests in Produquímica to Compass Minerals Brazil. On August 12, 2016, Produquímica shareholders notified Compass Minerals Brazil of their exercise of the Put. On October 3, 2016, the Company acquired the remaining 65% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Produquímica for R$1,066 million Brazilian Reais, or $331.9 million U.S. dollars at closing, which is subject to customary, post-closing adjustments. The Company also assumed approximately R$445 million Brazilian Reais, or $138.5 million U.S. dollars at closing, of net debt (inclusive of cash on hand at closing).

Based in São Paulo, Brazil, Produquímica generated approximately R$870 million in net sales as of the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Produquímica operates two primary businesses – agricultural productivity and chemical solutions. The agricultural productivity division manufactures and distributes a broad offering of specialty plant nutrition solution-based products. These include micronutrients, controlled release fertilizers and other specialty supplements that are used in direct soil and foliar applications, as well as through irrigation systems and for seed treatment. Many of these products are developed through Produquímica’s robust research and development capabilities. Produquímica also manufactures and markets specialty chemicals, primarily for the water treatment industry and for use in other industrial processes in Brazil.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2016, was prepared by combining the historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of September 30, 2016, for the Company and Produquímica, as adjusted to comply with U.S. GAAP, as if the Produquímica Acquisition had been consummated on that date. In addition to certain U.S. GAAP adjustments, certain balance sheet reclassifications have also been made in order to conform Produquímica’s balance sheet to the Company’s balance sheet presentation. Refer to Note 2 for a discussion of these U.S. GAAP and reclassification adjustments.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, combines the results of operations of the Company and Produquímica, as adjusted to comply with U.S. GAAP, as if the Produquímica Acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2015. In addition to certain U.S. GAAP adjustments, certain statements of operations reclassifications have also been made to conform Produquímica’s statements of operations to the Company’s statement of operations presentation. Refer to Note 3 for a discussion of these U.S. GAAP and reclassification adjustments.
 
The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the Produquímica Acquisition, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results.

The acquisition method of accounting, based on ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”). 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.

6



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 and/or to value assets at a fair value measurement that do 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.

ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The final purchase price allocation may vary based on final appraisals, valuations and analyses of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited pro forma purchase price allocation is preliminary and has been made solely for illustrative purposes.


2.
Produquímica Balance Sheet

Produquímica’s condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared for the purpose of the reporting requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X and in accordance with the accounting and disclosure requirements of IFRS, which differs in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. The following schedule summarizes the material adjustments made to conform Produquímica’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016, to U.S. GAAP and to record the results in the reporting currency of the Company, U.S. dollars (in millions). Accounting policies and the classification of certain items presented by Produquímica under IFRS have been modified in order to align with the presentation used by the Company for its accounting policies and classification under U.S. GAAP (in millions).

Produquímica’s balance sheet has been translated into the Company’s reporting currency, U.S. dollars, at a rate of BRL 1.00=USD 0.3078, the exchange rate as of September 30, 2016.

(c)
Upon adoption of IFRS, Produquímica used an exemption which allowed property, plant and equipment to be recognized at fair value, with a corresponding entry to accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax effects. Under U.S. GAAP, revaluation of property, plant and equipment is not permitted. The following adjustment records property, plant and equipment, net, at its original amortized cost.

(d)
Upon adoption of IFRS, Produquímica’s equity investee used an exemption which allowed property, plant and equipment to be recognized at fair value, with a corresponding entry to accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax effects. Under U.S. GAAP, revaluation of property, plant and equipment is not permitted. The following adjustment records property, plant and equipment, net at its original amortized cost.

This adjustment is the only adjustment that was made to reverse impacts of Produquímica’s equity investee’s adoption of IFRS.

(e)
Produquímica’s contingencies were adjusted to conform with ASC 450, “Contingencies,” for both the recognition and measurement differences of non-income tax related contingencies (including labor, social security, legal, etc.). The contingencies below were deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable based upon a preliminary analysis. The final amounts could be materially different than the amounts presented below.

(f)
Under U.S. GAAP, a tax benefit is recognized when it is “more likely than not” to be sustained based on the technical merits of the position. The amount of benefit to be recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Detection risk is precluded from being considered in the analysis. IFRS does not include specific guidance and indicates that tax assets and liabilities should be measured at the amount expected to be paid based on enacted or substantively enacted tax legislation. Practice varies regarding the consideration of detection risk in the analysis. To conform to U.S. GAAP, the following incremental uncertain tax position reserves were recorded. The reserves below were based upon a preliminary analysis and final amounts could be materially different than the amounts presented below:

Purchase Price

On October 3, 2016, the Company acquired the remaining 65% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Produquímica for an aggregate estimated price due at closing of R$1,066 million Brazilian Reais, or $331.9 million U.S. dollars at closing. The Company also assumed approximately R$445 million Brazilian Reais, or $138.5 million U.S. dollars at closing, of net debt (inclusive of cash on hand at closing).

The calculation of the purchase price at closing was based on an estimate of full-year 2016 operating results of Produquímica. As of the closing date, some of the periods included in the 2016 operating results of Produquímica had ended and actual results were known. Based on the actual results known as of the closing date, the Company estimated that there will be a $5.8 million increase in the purchase price.

Following the closing date, the purchase price will be adjusted based on the final full-year 2016 operating results of Produquímica. This adjustment will include amounts relating to periods occurring after the closing date, which is considered contingent consideration. As of the closing date, the Company estimated the fair value of contingent consideration to be $32.5 million. The adjustment to the purchase price is expected to be resolved in the first quarter of 2017, and any changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration will be recognized in income.

As of the closing date, the Company calculated the total purchase price as follows:

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated on a preliminary basis to Produquímica’s assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair value as of the date of completion of the acquisition. Based upon the estimated purchase price and the preliminary valuation, the preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to change based on the Company’s final analysis, is as follows (in millions):

As noted above, the purchase price estimates and the purchase price allocation are preliminary and are subject to change and further adjustment based on the final analysis, including the fair value of the contingent consideration, the acquisition date fair value of its previous 35% interest in Produquímica, the fair value allocated to tangible and intangible assets and the value of certain tax contingencies, all of which are described further in these Notes.


20



The final determination of the purchase price allocation is currently in process and will be based on the fair value of assets acquired, including fair values of other identifiable intangibles and the fair value of liabilities assumed as of October 3, 2016. The excess purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be allocated to goodwill. The purchase price allocation will remain preliminary until the Company completes a valuation of significant identifiable intangibles acquired and determines the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The final determination of the purchase price allocation is expected to be completed as soon as practicable. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could materially differ from the information presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

5.
Financing

The Company entered into a new $100.0 million term loan tranche in the fourth quarter of 2015 to fund the acquisition of the 35% equity stake in Produquímica. In September 2016, the Company entered into a new $450.0 million term loan tranche to fund the acquisition of the remaining 65% of Produquímica’s equity.

For pro forma purposes, interest expense was adjusted to consider the loans outstanding for the entirety of both periods shown in the condensed combined statement of operations. The adjustments were made using an interest rate based on the debt’s contractual terms (LIBOR plus a spread) and a LIBOR rate as of September 30, 2016. An increase or decrease of 0.125% of the assumed interest rates would increase or decrease interest expense by approximately $0.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, and approximately $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

6.
Pro Forma Adjustments

Pro forma adjustments reflect estimated preliminary amounts for the purchase price, Produquímica’s net tangible and intangible assets at an amount equal to the preliminary estimates of their fair values, amortization expense related to the estimated amortizable intangible assets, the issuance of debt and related interest expense, non-recurring acquisition transaction costs and the income tax effect related to the pro forma adjustments.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared as if the transactions described above were completed on September 30, 2016, for balance sheet purposes, and as of January 1, 2015, for statement of operations purposes.

(b)
Represents impacts of purchase price allocation (refer to Note 4 for preliminary opening balance sheet) with the exception of the step up in deferred tax liabilities, discussed further in (e) below. An adjustment of $11.1 million has been reflected for the estimated fair value of Produquímica inventories as of the acquisition date. Because this adjustment is directly attributable to the Produquímica Acquisition and would

21



not have an ongoing impact, it is not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. However, this inventory adjustment will impact product costs sold within the first 12 months after the consummation of the Produquímica Acquisition and will thereby reduce gross profit.

(c)
Eliminate Produquímica historical equity in connection with purchase accounting.

(d)
Adjustment to remove the non-recurring direct incremental costs of the Produquímica Acquisition which are reflected in the historical financial statements of the Company and Produquímica. The amounts adjusted from the historical income statements are presented below.

Direct and incremental transaction costs expected to be incurred after September 30, 2016, in connection with the closing of the transaction are estimated at $1.4 million and have resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings. The estimate is based on an evaluation of several factors, including the most recent overall expected budget for transaction costs and amounts contractually due to external advisors and service providers. The adjustments are not reflected net of a tax benefit as transaction costs are generally capitalized into the basis of the shares acquired as facilitative (as opposed to investigatory).

(e)
Adjustment to account for the step up in book basis of assets acquired in the transactions, which give rise to related deferred tax impacts. The tax rate was estimated to be 34% based on the jurisdiction where the assets reside.

(f)

(g)
Adjustment to remove non-recurring expenses in the historical income statements associated with the issuance of financing transactions described in Note 5.

(h)
Adjustment to remove net loss from equity investee related to the Company’s 35% equity method investment in Produquímica.

(i)
Adjustment to reflect reduced incremental depreciation resulting from the preliminary allocation of purchase price.

(j)
Adjustment to reflect incremental amortization resulting from the preliminary allocation of purchase price.

(k)
Adjustment to the historical income statements to reflect tax-related impacts associated with the full intercompany loan between Compass Minerals America Inc. and Compass Minerals Brazil, elimination of the outside basis difference on the equity method investment in Produquímica and elimination of non-recurring Brazilian tax expenses associated with the acquisition of the equity method investment.

(l)
Adjustment to income tax expense for the tax effect of transaction and interest expense adjustments, using an estimated tax rate of 37%, which approximates a blended statutory tax rate for the tax jurisdictions where the underlying transactions reside. Because the tax rate used for these pro forma financial statements approximates a blended statutory rate and is an estimate, it will likely vary from the effective rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the acquisition, and those differences may be material.
