UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On April 3, 2017,  Nexeo Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Nexeo”), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, completed the acquisition (the “Ultra Chem Acquisition”) of the equity interests of the Mexico City, Mexico based chemicals distribution business of Ultra Chem, S. de R.L. de C.V. and its related entities (collectively, “Ultra Chem Group”) from the Ultra Chem Group shareholders for approximately $56.8 million, net of cash acquired of $0.5 million, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 9, 2017 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). This amount excludes the assumption of $0.9 million in short-term borrowings of Ultra Chem Group, which were repaid by the Company immediately after closing. Of the purchase price, approximately $10.7 million was placed in escrow. Of this amount, approximately $1.0 million relates to the settlement of the final net working capital adjustment expected no later than 90 days following the close of the transaction. The remaining balance of approximately $9.7 million may remain in escrow for a period of up to five years and relates to potential indemnification obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement. The escrow amount will be released as prescribed by the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and related documentation. The Ultra Chem Acquisition was financed with approximately $58.0 million of borrowings under the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2017 combines Nexeo’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2017 with Ultra Chem Group’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2017. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X 11-02(c)(3), as the fiscal year ends of each company are less than 93 days apart, the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2016 combines Nexeo’s unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2016 (see further discussion below) with Ultra Chem Group’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. These unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations give effect to the Ultra Chem Acquisition as if it had occurred on October 1, 2015, the beginning of Nexeo’s most recently completed fiscal year. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at March 31, 2017 combines Nexeo’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017 with Ultra Chem Group’s combined balance sheet at March 31, 2017, giving effect to the Ultra Chem Acquisition as if it had occurred on March 31, 2017.

On June 9, 2016, WL Ross Holding Corp. (“WLRH”), Nexeo Solutions Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) and certain other parties consummated a merger pursuant to the merger agreement between the parties (the “Business Combination”). WLRH was identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes and Holdings was identified as the acquiree and accounting predecessor.  The “Predecessor” activity presented in Note 2 relates to Holdings business for the periods prior to June 9, 2016.  WLRH, which includes Holdings for periods subsequent to the Business Combination, was subsequently renamed “Nexeo Solutions, Inc.” and is the “Successor” for periods after June 9, 2016, and changed its fiscal year end from December 31st to September 30th. In order to present a full 2016 fiscal year of the Company’s operations for purposes of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 pro forma combined financial information included herein, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information of Nexeo for the year ended September 30, 2016 combines the Successor and Predecessor periods, and makes certain pro forma adjustments to reflect the Business Combination as if it had occurred on October 1, 2015, the beginning of the Company’s most recent fiscal year as outlined below in Note 2.

The historical combined statements of operations of Ultra Chem Group have been adjusted to reflect certain reclassifications and other adjustments in order to conform to the Company’s financial statement presentation and accounting policies. The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to events that are: (1) directly attributable to the Ultra Chem Acquisition; (2) factually supportable; and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company’s results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been developed from and should be read in conjunction with:

the accompanying notes to the unaudited combined pro forma financial information;
the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the six months ended March 31, 2017, included in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended March 31, 2017;

1


the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016;
the combined financial statements of Ultra Chem Group as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014; and
the unaudited combined financial statements of Ultra Chem Group as of March 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP with the Company as the acquirer. 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 market values as of the acquisition date with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill.
 
The Company has not completed the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and the related allocations of the purchase price in the Ultra Chem Acquisition. As a result, the unaudited pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The unaudited pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented below. The Company has estimated the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on discussions with members of Ultra Chem Group’s management, preliminary valuation studies, due diligence and information presented in the financial statements and accounting records of Ultra Chem Group. The valuation will be finalized as soon as practicable within the required measurement period, but in no event later than twelve months following completion of the Ultra Chem Acquisition. Any increases or decreases in the fair value of these assets and liabilities upon completion of the final valuations will result in adjustments to the balance sheet and/or statement of operations. In addition, the final purchase price of the Ultra Chem Acquisition is subject to the settlement of the final net working capital adjustment expected no later than 90 days following the close of the Ultra Chem Acquisition. The final purchase price and the final purchase price allocation may be different than that reflected in the preliminary purchase price allocation presented herein, and this difference may be material.
 
Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Ultra Chem Acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of the Company following the Ultra Chem Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, although helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the Company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the benefits of cost-saving initiatives (or associated costs to achieve such savings), opportunities to earn additional revenue, or other factors that may result as a consequence of the Ultra Chem Acquisition and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also excludes the effects of costs associated with any restructuring activities, integration activities or asset dispositions resulting from the Ultra Chem Acquisition, as they are currently not known, and to the extent they occur, are expected to be non-recurring and were not incurred as of the closing date of the Ultra Chem Acquisition. However, such costs could affect the combined company following the Ultra Chem Acquisition in the period the costs are incurred or recorded.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(in millions except per share data)

1. Description of the Ultra Chem Acquisition

On April 3, 2017,  Nexeo Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Nexeo”), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, completed the acquisition (the “Ultra Chem Acquisition”) of the equity interests of the Mexico City, Mexico based chemicals distribution business of Ultra Chem, S. de R.L. de C.V. and its related entities (collectively, “Ultra Chem Group”) from the Ultra Chem Group shareholders for approximately $56.8 million, net of cash acquired of $0.5 million, pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 9, 2017 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). This amount excludes the assumption of $0.9 million in short-term borrowings of Ultra Chem Group, which were repaid by the Company immediately after closing. Of the purchase price, approximately $10.7 million was placed in escrow. Of this amount, approximately $1.0 million relates to the settlement of the final net working capital adjustment expected no later than 90 days following the close of the transaction. The remaining balance of approximately $9.7 million may remain in escrow for a period of up to five years and relates to potential indemnification obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement. The escrow amount will be released as prescribed by the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and related documentation. The Ultra Chem Acquisition was financed with approximately $58.0 million of borrowings under the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”), which was drawn by the Company as of March 31, 2017.

2. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and is based on the historical condensed consolidated financial statements of Nexeo and the Ultra Chem Group. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2017 combines Nexeo’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2017 with Ultra Chem Group’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2017. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X 11-02(c)(3), as the fiscal year ends of each company are less than 93 days apart, the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2016 combines Nexeo’s unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2016 (see further discussion below) with Ultra Chem Group’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. These unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations give effect to the Ultra Chem Acquisition as if it had occurred on October 1, 2015, the beginning of Nexeo’s most recently completed fiscal year. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at March 31, 2017 combines Nexeo’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017 with Ultra Chem Group’s combined balance sheet at March 31, 2017, giving effect to the Ultra Chem Acquisition as if it had occurred on March 31, 2017

On June 9, 2016, WL Ross Holding Corp. (“WLRH”), Nexeo Solutions Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) and certain other parties consummated a merger pursuant to the merger agreement between the parties (the “Business Combination”). WLRH was identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes and Holdings was identified as the acquiree and accounting predecessor.  The “Predecessor” activity presented below relates to Holdings business for the periods prior to June 9, 2016. WLRH, which includes Holdings for periods subsequent to the Business Combination, was subsequently renamed “Nexeo Solutions, Inc.” and is the “Successor” for periods after June 9, 2016, and changed its fiscal year end from December 31st to September 30th. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting for the assets and liabilities of Holdings that is based on the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  The Successor period in the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 includes 114 days (June 9, 2016 through September 30, 2016) of the combined operating results, as well as the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 of WLRH’s operating results, which reflect its financial activity including transaction costs and equity structure changes in preparation of the consummation of the Business Combination. The Predecessor periods in the consolidated financial statements of Nexeo represent the operating results of Holdings and its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information of Nexeo for the year ended September 30, 2016 presented herein combines the Successor and Predecessor periods, and makes certain pro forma adjustments to reflect the Business Combination as if it had occurred on October 1, 2015, the beginning of the Company’s most recent fiscal year.
 




The acquisition method of accounting is based on Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combination (“ASC 805”), and uses the fair value concepts defined in FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 805”). ASC 805 requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date by the Company, who was determined to be the accounting acquirer.
 
ASC 820 defines the term “fair value,” sets forth the valuation requirements for any asset or liability measured at fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. 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 the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.
 
Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which such costs are incurred. Acquisition-related transaction costs expected to be incurred as part of the Ultra Chem Acquisition include estimated fees related to the issuance of long-term debt, as well as advisory, legal and accounting fees.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the impact of possible revenue or earnings enhancements, cost savings initiatives, or asset dispositions. Also, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect possible adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities that have yet to be determined or transaction or other costs following the Ultra Chem Acquisition that are not expected to have a continuing impact.

3. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The purchase price for the Ultra Chem Acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for purposes of this pro forma financial information based on their estimated relative fair values. The purchase price allocation herein is preliminary. The final purchase price allocation for the Ultra Chem Acquisition will be determined after completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed but in no event later than one year following completion of the Ultra Chem Acquisition. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments could differ materially from the accounting adjustments included in the pro forma financial statements presented herein. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as compared to the information shown herein, could also change the portion of purchase price allocable to goodwill and could impact the operating results of the Company following the acquisition due to differences in purchase price allocation, depreciation and amortization related to some of these assets and liabilities.

The purchase price, net of cash acquired of $0.5 million, was preliminarily allocated as follows:
Accounts receivable
$
14.5

Inventory
10.5

Other current assets
2.1

Property, plant and equipment

Net Assets Acquired
$
56.8


(1) Immediately following the closing of the Ultra Chem Acquisition, the Company paid off the historical short-term borrowings of Ultra Chem Group.

Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the pro forma financial information consists of intangibles derived from customer relationships, non-compete agreements and certain trade names. Customer relationships were valued through application of the income approach, non-compete agreements were valued using a differential cash flow approach and trade names were valued using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. See Note 4 for additional information.

The preliminary purchase price allocation for property, plant and equipment was based on the carrying value of such assets as it was determined to approximate fair value. Property, plant and equipment acquired consists primarily of leasehold improvements, IT and office equipment, and furniture and fixtures.

Goodwill represents the excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net assets, largely arising from synergies expected as a result of the Ultra Chem Acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized to earnings, but instead is reviewed for impairment at least annually, absent any indicators of impairment.





4. Pro Forma Adjustments

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Statements of Operations:

(a)
To recognize amortization expense related to identified intangible assets recognized as part of the preliminary purchase price allocation (see note i below).

For pro forma purposes, interest was estimated using the applicable borrowing rate under the Company’s ABL Facility as of March 31, 2017, held constant for the periods presented herein.

(1) Represents the payment of cash to the selling shareholders of Ultra Chem Group
(2) Represents an adjustment to record estimated acquisition-related transaction costs. In accordance with ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs and related charges are not included as a component of consideration to be transferred but are required to be expensed as incurred. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects these costs as a reduction of cash with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings. These costs are not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations as they are directly related to the Business Combination and will be nonrecurring.
(3) Represents the repayment of historical debt balances owed by Ultra Chem Group.
 
(g)
To reflect the fair value adjustment to inventory as a result of the preliminary purchase price allocation of the Ultra Chem Acquisition. The fair value of inventory was established through application of the income approach, using estimates of selling prices and costs such as selling and marketing expenses to be incurred in order to dispose of the finished products and arriving at the future profitability that is expected to be generated once the inventory is sold (net realizable value).
(h)
To record preliminary goodwill resulting from the preliminary purchase price allocation of the Ultra Chem Acquisition.
(i)
To record identifiable intangible assets related to the Ultra Chem Acquisition. The identifiable intangible assets attributable to the Ultra Chem Acquisition, are comprised of the following:
 
Estimated Fair Value
 
Estimated Remaining useful life (in years)
 
Estimated Pro Forma Amortization Expense for the Year Ended September 30, 2016

As part of these preliminary estimates, customer relationships were valued using the income approach. Under this approach, revenue, operating expenses and other costs associated with existing customers were estimated in order to derive cash flows attributable to the existing customer relationships. The resulting cash flows were then discounted to present value at a rate of 17.0% to arrive at the fair value of existing customer relationships as of the valuation date. The trade names were valued through application of the income approach, involving the estimation of likely future sales and an appropriate royalty rate of 0.25%.  The non-compete agreements were valued through a differential cash flow approach, discounted to present value at a rate of 17.0%.





The amortization related to these amortizable identifiable intangible assets is reflected as a pro forma adjustment to the pro forma combined statement of operations using the straight-line method. Management has determined the estimated remaining useful life of these assets based on its consideration of relevant factors. A 10-year remaining useful life for customer relationships has been estimated based on the projected economic benefits associated with these assets. The 10-year estimated useful life represents the approximate point in the projection period in which a majority of the asset’s cash flows are expected to be realized based on assumed attrition rates. A two-year remaining useful life for the trade names has been estimated based on the period in which the Company expects a market participant would use the name prior to rebranding and the length of time the name is expected to maintain recognition and value in the marketplace. A two-year remaining useful life for the non-compete agreements has been estimated, based on the contractual term of the agreements with former shareholders and officers of Ultra Chem Group. These assumptions have been developed based on discussions with former members of Ultra Chem Group’s management and Ultra Chem Group’s historical customer data. The amount that will ultimately be allocated to these assets, and the related amount of amortization, may differ materially from this preliminary allocation.

Amortization expense was calculated using a straight-line method.

(j)
To eliminate the historical equity balances of Ultra Chem Group as of March 31, 2017. Adjustments to accumulated deficit also include the impact of transaction costs paid at closing by Nexeo of $0.1 million.
