Exhibit 99.3

 

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Business First Bancshares, Inc. (“Business First”) and Pedestal Bancshares, Inc. (“Pedestal”) and are adjusted to give to the effect to the merger of Pedestal with and into Business First on May 1, 2020 (the “Merger”), including the issuance of 7,614,506 shares of Business First common stock to Pedestal’s shareholders in connection with the Merger pursuant to the merger agreement. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 gives effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on December 31, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 gives effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2019.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements give effect to the acquisition of Pedestal as business combinations under GAAP. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities were recorded at estimated fair value. Pro forma adjustments are included only to the extent they are (i) directly attributable to the acquisition, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined statement of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma adjustments are based on estimates made for the purpose of preparing these pro forma statements and are described in the accompanying notes. Business First’s management believes that the estimates used in these pro forma financial statements are reasonable under the circumstances.

 

The pro forma adjustments included herein are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after further valuation analyses under GAAP are performed with respect to the fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition. The final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein. In addition, the pro forma financial statements do not include the effects of any potential cost savings which management believes will result from combining certain operating procedures.

 

Business First anticipates that the acquisition of Pedestal will provide the combined company with the ability to better serve its customers, reach new customers and reduce operating expenses. In addition, certain subjective estimates have been utilized in determining the pro forma adjustments applied to the historical results of operations of Pedestal. The pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings or opportunities to earn additional revenue and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had Business First and Pedestal been combined during these periods.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Business First’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as well as Pedestal’s historical consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2019 which are included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report filed on Form 8-K/A.

Notes

 

a

Based on Business First’s initial evaluation of the acquired portfolio of loans, a net fair value adjustment of $43.6 million was recorded.  The provision for loan losses is eliminated and included in the fair value adjustment.  Interest income was adjusted to recognize the estimated accretion over the estimated average maturity of the loan portfolio.

b

Estimated fair value adjustments would not have a material impact on the income stream of the security portfolio.

c

Pedestal's fixed-rate deposit liabilities were estimated to result in a $2.6 million deposit premium based on Business First's preliminary assessment.  The premium was accreted over the weighted average remaining maturity of the portfolio.

d

Estimated accretion of $1.2 million premium on FHLB borrowings over estimated life.

e

The net fair value adjustment to the net book value of property held by Pedestal is negligible based on Business First’s initial evaluation of comparable sales.  The adjustments to depreciation expense due to adjustments in estimated useful life are also considered immaterial.

f

Based on Business First’s initial evaluation of core deposits, the identified core deposit intangible of $4.2 million will be amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 10 years, less the amount recorded for Pedestal in 2019 related to prior acquisitions.

g

Removed acquisition-related costs associated with prior acquisition.

h

Income taxes were adjusted to reflect the tax effects of the purchase accounting adjustments using Business First’s statutory rate of 21% for 2019 and the tax effect of Pedestal being taxed using Business First’s C corporation statutory rate since Pedestal was an S corporation at December 31, 2019.

i

Removed tax benefit of acquisition-related costs associated with prior acquisition.

j

Based on actual shares issued on May 1, 2020.
