Exhibit 99.3
Unaudited Pro forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein gives effect to the following transactions, which we refer to as the “Transactions”:
|
1) |
the acquisition by Glatfelter Corporation (the “Company”), of the outstanding equity interests of Georgia-Pacific Mt. Holly LLC, (the “G-P U.S. Nonwovens Business”) pursuant to the previously announced Share Purchase Agreement, dated January 5, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and GPPC Equity Holdings LLC which we refer to as the “Acquisition”; and |
|
2) |
our incurrence of additional indebtedness under our existing revolving credit facility and our application of the borrowings plus cash on hand to fund the Acquisition. |
The Acquisition includes the G-P U.S. Nonwovens Business, which operates an airlaid manufacturing operation, located in Mount Holly, North Carolina, that produces high-quality airlaid products focused on wipes and tabletop materials and a nonwovens product development operation located in Memphis, Tennessee. The Acquisition includes approximately 140 people employed at both facilities.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, give effect to the Transactions as if they occurred on January 1 of the respective period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of March 31, 2021 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on March 31, 2021.
The Acquisition is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 805, “Business Combinations” (“FASB ASC 805”). Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price for the Acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon estimates of fair value. The unaudited pro forma adjustments reflected herein are based upon preliminary available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances and which are described in the accompanying notes. These preliminary estimates may change upon finalization of appraisals and valuation studies. Therefore, the final allocations may differ materially from the estimates used to prepare these pro forma combined financial statements.
You should read the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements on in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, the audited financial statements of the G-P U.S. Nonwovens Business for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A and the unaudited combined financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative and informative purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative of what our results of operations and financial position would have been had the Transactions actually occurred on the dates indicated, and it is neither representative of nor projects our results of operations for any future period or our financial condition at any future date. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that we may achieve as a result of the acquisition of the G-P U.S. Nonwovens Business, the costs to integrate the operations of the G-P U.S. Nonwovens Business or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements. The presentation of certain items in the G-P U.S. Nonwovens Business historical financial statements have been conformed to our presentation for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The Acquisition agreement provides for a purchase price of $175 million, subject to an adjustment based on the closing date working capital of the G-P U.S. Nonwovens Business, an amount of which has not yet been agreed. The preliminary purchase price allocation set forth above is based on a preliminary working capital adjustment of $4.0 million.
We are in the process of completing valuations necessary to account for the Acquisition in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting set forth in FASB ASC 805 including independent appraisals. In calculating the pro forma adjustments, the purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis. Therefore, the purchase price allocation is subject to change, and such changes could be material. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes the excess of book value will be allocated as set forth above, an assumption we believe is reasonable based on information presently available to us. The allocation shown above includes an allocation to identified intangible assets consisting of customer relationships. In addition, for purposes of the pro forma financial information set forth above, the book value of net assets acquired is as of March 31, 2021. Any change in the amount of net assets acquired from the amount presented above will affect the amount of goodwill recognized.
For purposes of presenting depreciation and amortization expense in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income, fixed assets and intangible assets are assumed to have an average remaining useful life of 16 years and 11 years, respectively. Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis.
The amount presented as “Other Assets”, “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” reflects the application of FASB ASC 842 to record the net present value of lease obligations and the corresponding right of use assets related to operating leases.
