Exhibit 99.2

Horizon Global Corporation
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

On October 4, 2016, Horizon Global Corporation ("Horizon" or the "Company") completed the acquisition of WESTFALIA-Automotive Holding GmbH, Rheda-Wiedenbrück/Germany ("Westfalia") and TeIJs Holding B.V. ("TeIJs" and, together with Westfalia, the "Westfalia Group") pursuant to a share purchase agreement. Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Westfalia and TeIJs for cash consideration of approximately $99.2 million and the issuance of 2,704,310 shares of the Company's common stock.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and present the pro forma combined financial position and results of operations of Horizon based upon the historical financial statements of each of Horizon and Westfalia, after giving effect to the acquisition, and are intended to reflect the impact of the acquisition on Horizon’s consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the respective unaudited consolidated financial statements of Horizon as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the audited consolidated financial statements of Horizon as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the audited financial statements of Westfalia as of and for the years ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015. The financial statements of Westfalia have been converted from German GAAP to U.S. GAAP for purposes of presenting the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in these notes. Since the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions, the final amounts recorded may be different from that presented, and this difference may be material.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by Horizon if the acquisition had been consummated for the periods presented or that will be achieved in the future. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of synergies expected to result from the acquisition.

Horizon Global Corporation
Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Accounting Periods Presented
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income combine the historical consolidated statements of income of Horizon and the historical consolidated statements of income of Westfalia for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and for the historical consolidated statements of income of Horizon for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the historical consolidated statements of income of Westfalia for the year ended September 30, 2015, giving effect to the acquisition as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2015. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income of Horizon and Westfalia for the year ended December 31, 2015, due to different fiscal periods, combine the historical results of Horizon for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the historical results of Westfalia for the year ended September 30, 2015.
Revenue and net loss for Westfalia for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $47,087 thousand and ($911) thousand, respectively.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of Horizon and the historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of Westfalia as of September 30, 2016, giving effect to the acquisition and adjustments described in these notes, as if the acquisition had been consummated on September 30, 2016.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with Horizon considered the acquirer of Westfalia. The audited historical consolidated financial statements of Westfalia have been adjusted to reflect certain reclassifications in order to conform to Horizon’s financial statement presentation.
2. Purchase Price Allocation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect the allocation of the preliminary estimated purchase price to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the excess recorded as goodwill. The final purchase price allocation may be different than that reflected in the pro forma purchase price allocation presented herein, and this difference may be material.
The purchase price allocation in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is based upon a purchase price of approximately $149.2 million for both Westfalia ($115.6 million) and TeIJs ($33.6 million), however only Westfalia was significant for filing purposes. Based on the purchase agreement, the shares that were issued are subject to restrictions, therefore the closing price at acquisition cannot be used for the valuation, a discount must be applied. The valuation of the common stock was calculated using the closing share price of $19.87, with a preliminary discount applied due to lack of marketability.
Although the overall consideration is for Westfalia and TeIJs, for pro forma purposes only the acquisition of Westfalia has been considered, due to the insignificance of TeIJs as part of the acquisition.
The following table represents the purchase price to be paid in the acquisition (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Assets and liabilities for which initial accounting is incomplete:
(1) The preliminary inventory fair value estimate within total current assets is based on a step-up of inventory from book value to estimated fair value based on a preliminary estimation and is subject to change. See Note 3(B) for further detail of the inventory fair value adjustment.  
(2) The preliminary property and equipment fair value estimate is based on a preliminary valuation and is subject to change. A final valuation will be more detailed in its analysis including a further review of recent market transactions with comparable assets. See Note 3(C) for further detail on the property and equipment fair value adjustment.
(3) The preliminarily intangible asset fair value estimates are based on a preliminary valuation and are subject to change. The preliminary intangible assets associated with the acquisition include developed technologies, customer relationships, and trade names. A final valuation may change these estimates as more in-depth income contribution is applied after the acquisition close and such differences may be material. See Note 3(E) for further details on the intangible assets fair value adjustment.
(4) The historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of Westfalia as of September 30, 2016 includes shareholder loans of $109,732. These shareholder loans were paid off as part of the acquisition and are therefore not included in the purchase price allocation.     
(5) The preliminary deferred income tax liabilities is based on a blended global statutory rate and does not reflect Horizon’s expected tax rate. See Note 3(F) for further details of the deferred income taxes.  
(6) The significant preliminary goodwill resulting from the acquisition is primarily due to the combination of Horizon and Westfalia providing increased production capacity and diversification of Horizon's product portfolio and enhanced size and geographic presence. The cost-saving opportunities include improved operating efficiencies and asset optimization. See Note 3(D) for further details of goodwill.

14,216

__________________________
(1) Represents the estimated fair value adjustment to Westfalia’s property and equipment of $14,216 thousand based upon a preliminary fair value estimate of $44,603 thousand.

__________________________
(1) The estimated fair values for this pro forma presentation for trade names were measured using the relief from royalty method, a form of the Income Approach. For Westfalia, the trade name value represents the Westfalia trade name, which is registered in Germany. This method assumes the trade names have value to the extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them.
(2) The estimated fair value for this pro forma presentation for technology was measured using the relief-from-royalty method. Developed technology reflects the entire portfolio of patents to be transferred to Horizon. This method assumes the technology has value to the extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them.
(3) The estimated fair values for this pro forma presentation for customer relationships were measured using the multi-period excess earnings method. The principle behind the multi-period excess earnings method is that the value of an intangible is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the subject intangible asset, after taking charges for the use of other assets employed by the business.
Definitions -
OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer
OES - Original Equipment Supplier
IAM - Independent Aftermarket
(F) Deferred income taxes
Deferred income taxes were adjusted as follows:
Non-current portion of deferred income taxes:
 
 
Inventory fair value adjustment
 
$
1,866

Identifiable intangible assets fair value adjustment
 
6,186

Property and equipment fair value adjustment
 
4,255

Total pro forma adjustment to non-current deferred income taxes(1)
 
$
12,307

__________________________
(1) Reflects an adjustment to deferred income taxes representing a blended global statutory rate of approximately 29.93% multiplied by either (i) the preliminary fair value adjustments made to the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed, excluding goodwill, or (ii) the applicable pro forma adjustments to related assets and liabilities that will or will not be assumed by the combined company included herein. This rate does not reflect Horizon's expected effective tax rate, which will include other tax charges and benefits, and does not take in to account any historical or possible future tax events that may impact Horizon following the consummation of the acquisition.

(L) Income tax provision
For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, a global blended statutory tax rate of approximately 29.93% has been used. This does not reflect Horizon’s effective tax rate, which will include other tax items such as state and foreign taxes as well as other tax charges and benefits, and does not take into account any historical or possible future tax events that may impact Horizon following the consummation of the acquisition. For purposes of the unaudited proforma condensed combined financial statements, where an item is specific to Horizon US, the income tax effect has been computed at 40.00%.
(M) Adjustment to common shares outstanding
The adjustment to both weighted average shares outstanding and diluted weighted average shares outstanding is to reflect the 2,173,340 shares of common stock issued in the acquisition of Westfalia.
5. Financing Adjustments
On the closing date of the acquisition, Horizon incurred indebtedness of up to $152 million, consisting of $152 million of term loans, to finance the acquisition of Westfalia. Borrowings under the incremental term loans bear interest, at the Company's election, at either (i) the Base Rate plus 5.0% per annum, or (ii) LIBOR plus 6.0% per annum. Principal payments required under the incremental term loans are $2.0 million due at the end of each calendar quarter beginning December 2016. The amendment to the agreement governing the term loan facility (the "Term Loan Amendment") modified the commencement date of required prepayments resulting from excess cash flows from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017.
Additionally, the Term Loan Amendment modified the financial maintenance covenant such that the Company is required to maintain a net leverage ratio not exceeding: 5.25 to 1.00 through the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017; 5.00 to 1.00 through the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2018; 4.75 to 1.00 through the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018; and thereafter, 4.50 to 1.00. Commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, and for each fiscal year thereafter, the Company will also be required to make prepayments of outstanding amounts under the Term B Loan in an amount up to 50.0% of the Company's excess cash flow for such fiscal year, as defined in the Term B Loan, subject to adjustments based on the Company's leverage ratio and optional prepayments of term loans and certain other indebtedness.
