Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to reflect the acquisitions of the Acquired Business (as defined in Note 1 to the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements) by Coca‑Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (the “Company” or “CCBCC”) from Coca‑Cola Refreshments USA, Inc. (“CCR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Coca‑Cola Company, pursuant to various asset purchase agreements between the Company, The Cola‑Cola Company and CCR. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Acquired Business, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the Company’s results of operations.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is based on the historical balance sheet of the Company and the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions (as defined in Note 1) as of January 1, 2017, which is the end of fiscal 2016 (“2016”), and has been prepared to reflect the effects of the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions as if such acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2017. Additionally, the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects the impact of a territory conversion agreement entered into by the Company, The Coca‑Cola Company and CCR in September 2015 (as amended), upon the conversion of the Company’s bottling agreements to the Final CBA (as defined in Note 4 to the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements) on March 31, 2017 (the “Territory Conversion Agreement”). The details of the Territory Conversion Agreement were disclosed within the Company’s Current Report on Form 8‑K filed with the SEC on April 4, 2017, and is a transaction separate and apart from the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for 2016 combines the historical results and operations of the Company and CCR, giving effect to the acquisitions of the Acquired Business as if they occurred on January 4, 2016, the first day of fiscal 2016. The historical results of the Company reflect distribution territory transactions and manufacturing facility acquisitions completed prior to 2016, as discussed in Note 1.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations does not reflect future events that may occur, including, but not limited to, the anticipated realization of ongoing savings from operating synergies and certain one-time charges the Company expects to incur in connection with future acquisitions of distribution territories and manufacturing facilities, including, but not limited to, costs expected to be incurred in connection with integrating the operations of the Acquired Business.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S‑X, and are not indicative of the results of operations that would have been realized had the closings for the Acquired Business actually been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the Acquired Business’s operations going forward.

 

To produce the pro forma financial information, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions and the 2016 Expansion Transactions were adjusted to their estimated fair values. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not fully completed the detailed valuation work necessary to arrive at the final estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for all of these transactions. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited pro forma accounting for the Acquired Business is preliminary, made solely for the purpose of preparing the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, and is subject to further adjustments as additional analyses are performed. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes from the preliminary accounting for the Acquired Business included in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been derived from and should be read in conjunction with:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1. BACKGROUND

 

As part of The Coca‑Cola Company’s plans to refranchise its North American bottling territories, the Company has engaged in a multi-year series of transactions with The Coca‑Cola Company and CCR to significantly expand the Company’s distribution and manufacturing operations. This expansion includes acquisition of the rights to serve additional distribution territories previously served by CCR (the “Expansion Territories”) and related distribution assets, as well as the acquisition of regional manufacturing facilities previously owned by CCR (the “Expansion Facilities”) and related manufacturing assets (collectively, the “Expansion Transactions”).

 

Following is a summary of the Expansion Transactions completed by the Company during fiscal 2017 (“2017”):

 

On January 27, 2017, the Company completed an acquisition from CCR (the “January 2017 Expansion Transaction”) of distribution rights and related assets in Expansion Territories previously served by CCR through CCR’s facilities and equipment located in Anderson, Fort Wayne, Lafayette, South Bend and Terre Haute, Indiana, as contemplated by a distribution asset purchase agreement between the Company and CCR dated September 1, 2016 (the “September 2016 Distribution APA”).

 

On March 31, 2017, the Company completed an acquisition from CCR (the “March 2017 Expansion Transactions”) of (i) distribution rights and related assets in Expansion Territories previously served by CCR through CCR’s facilities and equipment located in Bloomington and Indianapolis, Indiana and Columbus and Mansfield, Ohio, as contemplated by the September 2016 Distribution APA; and (ii) two Expansion Facilities and related assets located in Portland and Indianapolis, Indiana as contemplated by a manufacturing asset purchase agreement between the Company and CCR dated September 1, 2016 (the “September 2016 Manufacturing APA”).

 

On April 28, 2017, the Company completed an acquisition from CCR (the “April 2017 Expansion Transactions”) of (i) distribution rights and related assets in Expansion Territories previously served by CCR through CCR’s facilities and equipment located in Akron, Elyria, Toledo, Willoughby and Youngstown, Ohio, as contemplated by a distribution asset purchase agreement between the Company and CCR dated April 13, 2017; and (ii) an Expansion Facility and related assets located in Twinsburg, Ohio, as contemplated by a manufacturing asset purchase agreement between the Company and CCR dated April 13, 2017.

 

Collectively, the January 2017 Expansion Transaction, the March 2017 Expansion Transactions and the April 2017 Expansion Transactions are the “2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions.” None of the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions were individually significant under Rule 3‑05 of Regulation S‑X and Item 2.01 of Form 8‑K; however, as a result of the April 2017 Expansion Transactions, the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions are now considered significant under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X and Item 2.01 of Form 8‑K.

 

In addition, the Company completed the following Expansion Transactions during 2016:

 

On January 29, 2016, the Company completed an acquisition from CCR (the “January 2016 Expansion Transactions”) of (i) distribution rights and related assets in Expansion Territories previously served by CCR through CCR’s facilities and equipment located in Easton and Salisbury, Maryland and Richmond and Yorktown, Virginia, as contemplated by an asset purchase agreement between the Company and CCR dated September 23, 2015 (the “September 2015 APA”); and (ii) an Expansion Facility and related assets located in Sandston, Virginia, as contemplated by an asset purchase agreement between the Company and CCR dated October 30, 2015 (the “October 2015 APA”).

 

On April 1, 2016, the Company completed an acquisition from CCR (the “April 1, 2016 Expansion Transaction”) of distribution rights and related assets in Expansion Territories previously served by CCR through CCR’s facilities and equipment located in Alexandria, Virginia and Capitol Heights and La Plata, Maryland, as contemplated by the September 2015 APA.

 

On April 29, 2016, the Company completed an acquisition from CCR (the “April 29 2016 Expansion Transactions”) of (i) distribution rights and related assets in Expansion Territories previously served by CCR through CCR’s

facilities and equipment located in Baltimore, Hagerstown and Cumberland, Maryland, as contemplated by the September 2015 APA; and (ii) two Expansion Facilities and related assets located in Silver Spring and Baltimore, Maryland, as contemplated by the October 2015 APA.

 

On October 28, 2016, the Company completed an acquisition from CCR (the “October 2016 Expansion Transactions”) of (i) distribution rights and related assets in Expansion Territories previously served by CCR through CCR’s facilities and equipment located in Cincinnati, Dayton, Lima and Portsmouth, Ohio and Louisa, Kentucky, as contemplated by the September 2016 Distribution APA; and (ii) an Expansion Facility and related assets located in Cincinnati, Ohio, as contemplated by the September 2016 Manufacturing APA.

 

Collectively, the January 2016 Expansion Transactions, the April 1, 2016 Expansion Transaction, the April 29, 2016 Expansion Transactions and the October 2016 Expansion Transactions are the “2016 Expansion Transactions.” The Expansion Territories and Expansion Facilities acquired in the 2016 Expansion Transactions and the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions are collectively known as the “Acquired Business.”

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S‑X, and present the pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations of the Company based upon historical information after giving effect to the acquisitions of the Acquired Business and the adjustments described in these footnotes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented as if the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions and the Territory Conversion Agreement had occurred on January 1, 2017; and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for 2016 is presented as if the acquisitions of the Acquired Business had occurred on January 4, 2016, the first day of fiscal 2016.

 

The historical results of the Company and assets acquired from CCR in conjunction with the 2016 Expansion Transactions have been derived from the unaudited financial statements of the Historic CCR – 2016 Transactions and additional financial information obtained from CCR. The historical results of the Company and assets acquired from CCR in conjunction with the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions have been derived from the audited financial statements of the Historic CCR – 2017 Tranche 1. The historical balance sheet of the Company reflects the business combination accounting for the 2016 Expansion Transactions. The historical balance sheet of CCR excludes the net assets of the 2016 Expansion Transactions and only includes the net assets related to the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions. The historical results of the Company for 2016 reflect the operating results of the 2016 Expansion Transactions from and after their respective closing dates.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect pro forma adjustments for (i) ongoing cost savings that the Company expects to and/or has achieved as a result of the acquisitions of the Acquired Business or (ii) the transition and related costs necessary to achieve such cost savings or synergies.

 

3. 2016 EXPANSION TRANSACTIONS—PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

 

The 2016 Expansion Transactions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) which requires, among other things, the net assets acquired in the 2016 Expansion Transactions to be recognized at their acquisition date fair values. The purchase prices for the 2016 Expansion Transactions are summarized below:

---

 

The following table summarizes the fair value of the net assets acquired in the 2016 Expansion Transactions as of January 1, 2017:

 

 

The Company’s historical consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2017 reflects the purchase accounting from the 2016 Expansion Transactions, and therefore does not require any pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended January 1, 2017 related to the 2016 Expansion Transactions are as follows:

 

(a) Net sales— In the normal course of business, CCBCC purchases certain finished products from CCR and, conversely, CCR purchases certain finished products from CCBCC. The adjustment of approximately $57.6 million for 2016 reflects the elimination of $50.9 million of CCR sales to CCBCC and $6.7 million of CCBCC sales to CCR.

 

(b) Cost of sales— Adjustment to cost of sales includes the following:

 

 

(i) Reflects the adjustment to cost of sales of removing intercompany sales transactions. The impact to cost of sales for 2016 is $50.9 million for sales from CCR to CCBCC and $6.0 million for sales from CCBCC to CCR.

 

(ii) Reflects the adjustment to depreciation expense recorded in cost of sales associated with the change in fair value of property, plant and equipment acquired in the 2016 Expansion Transactions.

---

 

(c) Selling, delivery and administrative expenses— Adjustment to selling, delivery and administrative expenses includes the following:

 

 

(i) Reflects the removal of transaction expenses incurred by the Company related to the 2016 Expansion Transactions during 2016. These expenses are directly attributable to the 2016 Expansion Transactions and are not expected to have a continuing impact.

 

(ii) Reflects the adjustment to depreciation expense associated with the change in fair value of property, plant and equipment acquired in the 2016 Expansion Transactions.

 

(iii) Reflects the preliminary adjustment to the amortization expense associated with the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired in the 2016 Expansion Transactions, less historical amortization expense. The preliminary pro forma adjustment for amortization expense for the intangible assets acquired in the 2016 Expansion Transactions is as follows:

 

 

The estimated fair value of amortizable intangible assets is expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets acquired in the 2016 Expansion Transactions. The amortizable life reflects the period over which the asset is expected to provide material economic benefit. With other assumptions held constant, a 10% increase in the fair value adjustment for the amortizable intangible assets acquired in the 2016 Expansion Transactions would increase annual pro forma amortization by approximately $0.3 million. In addition, with other assumptions held constant, a one year change in the estimated useful life for the intangible assets acquired would change annual amortization expense by approximately $0.1 million.

 

(d) Interest expense, net— Reflects the adjustment to interest expense associated with the proceeds from the Company’s revolving credit facility used towards the respective acquisitions. The interest rates for each advance under the revolving credit facility were based on the LIBOR rate plus an interest margin determined at the advance date. The pro forma adjustment for interest expense is as follows:

 

 

8

 

---

 

(e) Income tax expense— Adjustment of $10.2 million to income tax expense includes the following:

 

(i) Adjustment of $2.3 million reflects the income tax impacts of the pro forma adjustments made to the pro forma statement of operations using the combined U.S. federal and state statutory rate of 38.5%.

 

(ii) Adjustment of $7.9 million reflects the income tax impacts of the Historic CCR – 2016 Transactions on the pro forma statement of operations using the combined U.S. federal and state statutory rate of 38.5%.

 

4. 2017 TRANCHE 1 EXPANSION TRANSACTIONS—CONSIDERATION TRANSFERRED AND PRELIMINARY FAIR VALUE OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED

 

The 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as being accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805 with the Company treated as the accounting acquirer. In accordance with ASC 805, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been measured at fair value based on various preliminary estimates. Due to the fact that the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded for the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions may differ materially from the information presented herein. These estimates are subject to change pending further review of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

For purposes of measuring the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) has been applied, where applicable, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, fair value is an exit price and is defined 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.” Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs and acquisition-related restructuring charges are not included as components of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred.

 

The following is a summary of the preliminary estimated consideration transferred and fair values of the net assets acquired in the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions as if each transaction had closed on January 1, 2017:

 

 

Management has made preliminary allocation estimates based on currently available information. The final determination of the accounting for the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions will be completed as soon as

practicable. Management anticipates the valuations of the acquired asset and contingent consideration will consist of discounted cash flow analyses and other appropriate valuation techniques to determine the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and the contingent consideration liability associated with ongoing quarterly sub-bottling payments the Company is required to make to CCR for the grant of exclusive rights to distribute, promote, market and sell covered beverages and related products, pursuant to the Company’s final comprehensive beverage agreement with CCR (the “Final CBA”). These quarterly sub-bottling payments are based on sales of certain beverages and beverage products that are sold under the same trademarks that identify a covered beverage, related product or certain cross-licensed brands (as defined in the Final CBA).

 

The amounts allocated to the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions, including contingent consideration, could differ materially from the preliminary amounts presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. A decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired or an increase in the fair value of liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, from the preliminary valuations presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements would result in a dollar-for-dollar corresponding increase in the amount of goodwill that will result from the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions. In addition, if the value of the acquired assets is higher than the preliminary indication, it may result in higher amortization and depreciation expense than is presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

 

5. 2017 TRANCHE 1 EXPANSION TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER—PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

 

The preliminary pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet related to the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions and the Territory Conversion Agreement are as follows:

 

(a) Cash and cash equivalents— Adjustment reflects the preliminary net adjustment to cash in connection with the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions:

 

 

Components of the adjustment include the following:

 

(i) An increase in cash related to the use of the Company’s revolving credit facility;

 

(ii) Pursuant to a territory conversion agreement entered into by the Company, The Coca‑Cola Company and CCR in September 2015 (as amended), upon the conversion of the Company’s bottling agreements to the Final CBA on March 31, 2017, the Company received a one-time $87.1 million fee from CCR. This was recorded as a deferred liability and will be amortized as a reduction to cost of sales over a period of 40 years;

 

(iii) A decrease in cash related to the net cash payment due to CCR at the closings for the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions; and

 

(iv) Estimated expenses related to the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions to be incurred by the Company as of January 1, 2017.

 

(b) Accounts receivable from The Coca‑Cola Company— Adjustment of $3.8 million reflects the fair value of the estimated amount due to the Company from The Coca‑Cola Company related to cold drink equipment acquired in the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions.

 

10

 

---

 

(c) Inventories— Adjustment of $4.7 million to Inventories includes the change in the fair value of plastic shells, plastic pallets and other inventories acquired from CCR in the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions. The Company classifies these items as Inventories on their balance sheet whereas CCR classified deposit items in property, plant and equipment.

 

(d) Property, plant and equipment, net— Adjustment represents the preliminary estimate to reflect property, plant and equipment acquired in the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions at fair value. The preliminary fair value was determined using the income, market and cost approaches. The preliminary amounts assigned to property, plant and equipment are as follows:

 

 

(e) Goodwill— Adjustment reflects the preliminary estimated adjustment to goodwill as a result of the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as described in Note 4. The goodwill will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate a possible impairment exists. In the event management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the Company will incur an accounting charge for the amount of the impairment during the period in which the determination is made. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the workforce acquired. The preliminary pro forma adjustment to goodwill is calculated as follows:

 

 

(f) Other identifiable intangible assets, net— Adjustment represents the preliminary estimate to reflect identifiable intangible assets acquired in the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions at fair value. The preliminary fair market value was determined using an income approach. The preliminary amounts assigned to the identifiable intangible assets are as follows:

 

 

11

 

---

 

(g) Other accrued liabilities— Adjustment of $29.6 million to Other accrued liabilities includes the following:

 

(i) Adjustment of $24.6 million reflects the reclassification of the cooperative trade marketing (“CTM”) liability to conform CCR’s financial statement presentation to the Company’s financial statement presentation.

 

(ii) Adjustment of $2.9 million reflects the current portion of acquisition related contingent consideration associated with the sub-bottling payments under the Final CBA signed at the closing of the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions.

 

(iii) Adjustment of $2.1 million reflects the current portion of the deferred liability related to the conversion of the Company’s bottling agreements to the Final CBA on March 31, 2017.

 

(h) CTM liability— The CTM liability reflects a $24.6 million reclassification of the CTM liability to Other accrued liabilities to conform CCR’s financial statement presentation to the Company’s financial statement presentation.

 

(i) Deposit liabilities— Adjustment of $3.9 million reflects the alignment to the Company’s accounting policy for deposit items.

 

(j) Other liabilities— Adjustment of $128.3 million to Other liabilities includes the following:

 

(i) Adjustment of $84.9 million reflects the non-current portion of the deferred liability related to the conversion of the Company’s bottling agreements to the Final CBA on March 31, 2017.

 

(ii) Adjustment of $43.4 million reflects the fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the sub-bottling payments under the Final CBA.

 

(k) Long-term debt— Adjustment reflects an increase in long-term debt of $135.0 million that was borrowed under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Proceeds from the revolving credit facility were used to finance a portion of the upfront cash purchase prices for the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions.

 

(l) Retained earnings— The preliminary unaudited pro forma adjustment of $1.8 million is based on estimated transaction costs to be incurred by the Company related to the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions. The estimated fees and expenses associated with the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions have been excluded from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations as they reflect charges directly attributable to the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions that will not have a continuing impact on the Company’s operations.

 

The preliminary pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations related to the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions are as follows:

 

(m) Net sales— In the normal course of business, CCBCC purchases certain finished products from CCR and, conversely, CCR purchases certain finished products from CCBCC. The adjustment of approximately $37.9 million for the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions reflects the elimination of $27.6 million of CCR sales to CCBCC and $10.3 million of CCBCC sales to CCR.

 

(n) Cost of sales— Adjustment to cost of sales includes the following:

 

 

12

 

---

 

(i) Adjustment reflects the impact to cost of sales of removing intercompany sales transactions. The impact to cost of sales for the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions is $27.3 million for sales from CCR to CCBCC and $10.2 million for sales from CCBCC to CCR.

 

(ii) Reflects adjustment to depreciation expense recorded in cost of sales associated with the change in fair value of property, plant and equipment acquired in the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions.

 

(o) Selling, delivery and administrative expenses—Adjustment to selling, delivery and administrative expenses includes the following:

 

 

(i) Reflects the removal of transaction expenses incurred by the Company related to the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions during 2016. These expenses are directly attributable to the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions and are not expected to have a continuing impact.

 

(ii) Reflects the adjustment to depreciation expense associated with the change in fair value of property, plant and equipment acquired in the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions.

 

(iii) Reflects the preliminary adjustment to the amortization expense associated with the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired in the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions, less historical amortization expense. The preliminary pro forma adjustment for amortization expense for the intangible assets acquired is as follows:

 

 

The estimated fair value of amortizable intangible assets is expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets acquired in the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions. The amortizable life reflects the period over which the asset is expected to provide material economic benefit. With other assumptions held constant, a 10% increase in the fair value adjustment for the amortizable intangible asset would increase annual pro forma amortization by approximately $0.1 million. In addition, with other assumptions held constant, a one year change in the estimated useful life for the intangible assets acquired would change annual amortization expense by approximately $0.5 million.

(p) Interest expense, net— Reflects the adjustment to interest expense associated with the proceeds from the Company’s revolving credit facility used towards the respective Expansion Transactions. The interest rates for each advance under the revolving credit facility were based on the LIBOR rate plus an interest margin determined at the advance date. The pro forma adjustment for interest expense is as follows:

 

 

(q) Income tax expense— Adjustment to income tax expense includes the following:

 

 

(i) Reflects the income tax impacts of the pro forma adjustments made to the pro forma statement of operations using the combined U.S. federal and state statutory rate of 38.5%.
