Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
On May 1, 2018, U.S. Silica Company, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer” or “U.S. Silica”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding capital stock of EP Acquisition Parent, Inc. (“EPAP”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 22, 2018, by and among Buyer, EPAP, Tranquility Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer, EPMC Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely in its capacity as representative of the stockholders of EPAP, and solely for the purposes of Section 11.17 therein, Golden Gate Private Equity, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Merger Agreement”). Contemporaneous with the Acquisition, EPAP was renamed EP Minerals Holdings, Inc.
The consideration paid by the Buyer to the stockholders of EPAP at the closing of the Acquisition consisted of $742,841,000, net of cash acquired of $19,109,000, subject to customary closing adjustments.
In connection with the Acquisition, on May 1, 2018, the Company through its subsidiaries, USS Holdings, Inc., as guarantor, and U.S. Silica, as borrower, and certain of U.S. Silica's subsidiaries as additional guarantees entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) with BNP Paribas, as administrative agent and the lenders named therein (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement increases U.S. Silica’s existing senior debt by entering into a new $1.38 billion senior secured credit facility, consisting of a $1.28 billion term loan and a $100 million revolving credit facility that may also be used for swingline loans or letters of credit, and U.S. Silica may elect to increase the term loan as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of U.S. Silica and U.S. Silica’s domestic subsidiaries and a pledge of the equity interests in such entities. The term loan matures on May 1, 2025 and the revolving credit facility commitment expires May 1, 2023. A portion of the term loan proceeds were used to finance the Acquisition, pay fees and expenses associated with the transactions, and for general corporate purposes. The additional proceeds available from the term loan and the revolving credit facility will be available for general corporate purposes, which can be used for acquisitions, investments, dividends, and share repurchases, and for other general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates as determined at U.S. Silica’s election, at LIBOR or a base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. In addition, under the Credit Agreement, U.S. Silica is required to pay a per annum facility fee and fees for letters of credit.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, "Business Combinations", with the Company treated as the legal and accounting acquirer. The following tables set forth unaudited pro forma combined financial data as of March 31, 2018, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and for the year ended December 31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data is derived from the unaudited historical financial statements of the Company and EPAP as of March 31, 2018 and February 28, 2018, respectively. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017, and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Acquisition, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations data is derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017, the unaudited financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2018, the audited financial statements of EPAP for the year ended November 30, 2017, and the unaudited financial statements of EPAP for the three months ended February 28, 2018.
The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations do not reflect any non-recurring charges directly related to the Acquisition that the combined company may have incurred upon completion of the Acquisition. Further, the tax rate used for these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is an estimated effective tax rate, which will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the Acquisition.




The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company's condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Acquisition been consummated prior to March 31, 2018, nor are they necessarily indicative of our future results of operations. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The fair value of EPAP’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary estimates. As of the date of filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K/A to which the following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are attached, the Company has not completed the detailed valuation work necessary to finalize the required estimated fair values of the EPAP assets acquired and EPAP liabilities assumed and related allocation of purchase price. The purchase price allocation and related depreciation, depletion and amortization included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of preparing these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Management anticipates that the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be finalized during the one-year measurement period following the date of completion of the Acquisition. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur and these differences could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the combined company's future results of operations and financial position. In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to EPAP’s historical financial statements to conform to the presentation used in the Company's historical financial statements. Such reclassifications had no effect on EPAP’s previously reported financial position or results of operations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include any adjustments for the anticipated benefits from cost savings or synergies of U.S. Silica and EPAP operating as a combined company or for liabilities resulting from integration planning, as management is in the process of making these assessments. However, liabilities ultimately may be recorded for additional costs in subsequent periods related to both companies, including severance, relocation or retention costs related to employees of both companies, as well as other costs associated with integrating and/or restructuring the companies. The ultimate recognition of such costs and liabilities would affect amounts in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, and such costs and liabilities could be material.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X ("Regulation S-X") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to the events that are (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the combined company. The historical financial information of U.S. Silica and EPAP is presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
The acquisition accounting adjustments relating to the Acquisition are preliminary and subject to change, as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. There can be no assurances that the final valuations will not result in material changes to this preliminary purchase price allocation. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to the potential impact of any anticipated benefits from cost savings or synergies that may result from the Acquisition or to any future integration costs. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of the combined company following the Acquisition.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to EPAP’s historical financial statements to conform to the presentation used in the Company's historical consolidated financial statements, including depreciation, depletion and amortization. Such reclassifications had no effect on EPAP’s previously reported financial position or results of operations.

Comparative Periods
EPAP’s fiscal year end is November 30 and the Company's fiscal year end is December 31. Under Article 11 of Regulation S-X, if a target's fiscal year end varies by more than 93 days from the acquirer's fiscal year end, it is required to adjust interim periods until it is within 93 days. Since EPAP’s fiscal year end is within 93 days of the Company's fiscal year end, no adjustment is necessary and EPAP’s fiscal year end and interim period end are used as if they coincided with the Company's fiscal year end and interim period end.

Implementation of ASC 606
EPAP has been reviewed for ASC 606 compliance with the Company's accounting policies for revenue recognition. No material adjustments were necessary for the two months ending February 28, 2018, or at the transition date of January 1, 2018.

Calculation of Purchase Price

Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the pro forma financial information consist of anticipated intangibles derived from technology and customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 15 years. The amortization related to these identifiable intangible assets is reflected as a pro forma adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, as further described in Note 5(b). The table below indicates the estimated fair value of technology and customer relationships and their estimated useful life:

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired. Goodwill in this transaction is attributable to planned growth in the complementary industrial materials end markets and synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of U.S. Silica and EPAP. Both technology and customer relationships are expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.
