UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)

 

On December 31, 2014, Douglas Dynamics, Inc. (the ‘Company”) acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Henderson Enterprises Group, Inc. (“Henderson”) for the purpose of expanding its current market presence in the snow and ice segment. Total consideration was $98,676 including a working capital adjustment of $4,688 and an outstanding payable to a former Henderson shareholder of $3,340. The purchase price was funded through available cash resources and the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with the banks and financial institutions listed therein, as lenders, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as collateral agent and administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as syndication agent.  The Term Loan Credit Agreement was an amendment and restatement of an existing Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2011.   At the same time, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with the banks and financial institutions listed in the Revolving Credit Agreement, as lenders, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as syndication agent.

 

Henderson is the leading North American manufacturer of customized, turnkey snow and ice control solutions for heavy-duty trucks focused on state Departments of Transportation (DOT), counties, and municipalities. Henderson’s diverse product portfolio includes ice control equipment, snow plows, dump bodies, muni-bodies, and replacement parts.

 

Set forth below is the Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2014, reflecting the Merger and the impact of the Company’s  Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement which was used to fund the Henderson merger (collectively, the “Transactions”) as if the Transactions had taken place on September 30, 2014, and the Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, reflecting the Transactions as if they had taken place on January 1, 2013.

 

The historical consolidated financial information of Henderson 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 Transactions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. There were no material transactions between the Company and Henderson during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements that needed to be eliminated.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes thereto. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was based on and should be read in conjunction with the:

 

·                  Separate historical financial statements of Henderson as of and for the period ended October  4, 2014 and the related notes and the separate historical financial statements of Henderson for the year ended December 31, 2013 and related notes, included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A; and

·                  Separate historical financial statements of the Company as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the related notes included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and separate historical financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K;

 



 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information will differ from the final acquisition accounting for a number of reasons, including the fact that the Company’s estimates of fair value are preliminary and subject to change when the formal valuation and other studies are finalized. The adjustments that may occur to the preliminary estimates could have a material impact on the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information.

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information is presented for information purposes only. It has been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had it completed the acquisition at the dates indicated, nor does it purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

 

The finalization of the Company’s purchase accounting assessment will result in changes in the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired which could be material. The Company will finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable within the measurement period in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805-10, “Business Combinations — Overall” (“ASC 805-10”), but in no event later than one year following the merger date. The purchase price allocation for Henderson and the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on information available to date, and are subject to revision as additional information becomes available.  The actual adjustments described herein were made as of the closing date of the Merger and are expected to change based upon the finalization of appraisals and other valuation studies the Company will obtain. Revisions to the preliminary purchase price could materially change the pro forma amounts of total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity, depreciation and amortization and income tax expense.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the merger; any costs to combine the operations of the Company and Henderson; or any costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and potential revenue enhancements.

Note 1 Preliminary Purchase Consideration Allocation

 

The final purchase consideration amount is pending, based on the final agreement of the adjustment to the cash consideration related to the level of net working capital transferred at closing. The preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair values of the assets and liabilities included in the table below are preliminary and subject to change as we are currently in the process of obtaining third-party valuations.

 

The excess of the purchase consideration over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets is reflected as goodwill. As the transaction was a taxable stock acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes, only the previously existing intangible assets and goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.   The amount allocated to intangible assets and goodwill for tax purposes is not expected to be tax deductible as a result of the Company not making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 



 

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed if the acquisition of Henderson had taken place on September 30, 2014.

The goodwill for the acquisition is a result of acquiring and retaining the existing workforces and expected synergies from integrating the operations into the Company. The Company only expects to be able to deduct unamortized intangible assets and goodwill that existed at the time of the acquisition of $4,218 as only the existing goodwill and intangible assets are deductible as a result of not making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The remaining useful lives of intangible assets and goodwill for income tax purposes is 12.2 and 10.3 years, respectively.   For book purposes, the acquired intangible assets include customer relationships of $8,300 being amortized over 15 years, patents of $3,200 being amortized over 10 years non-compete agreements of $2,100 being amortized over 4 years, $200 backlog being amortized over six months and trademarks of $3,600 that possess indefinite lives.

 

Inventories reflect adjustments of $1,956 to establish the estimated fair market value. Property plant and equipment reflects an adjustment of $4,300 to establish the estimated fair market value. These adjustments have been reflected on the September 30, 2014 pro forma balance sheet.

 

For purposes of these Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements, a blended statutory rate of 38.0% has been used. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account any possible future tax planning or events that may occur for the combined company. An estimated deferred tax asset current and long term of $514 and $2,866, respectively, related to the tax effect on differences in timing of deductibility was recognized.

 



 

Note 2 Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet

 

Fair value adjustments were made to certain intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and inventories. Inventories have been adjusted to their estimated fair market value and will be charged to cost of sales over a period of three months. Amortizable intangible assets are being amortized over estimated useful lives and property, plant and equipment are being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting. Deferred tax balances and reserves for uncertain tax positions have been adjusted to reflect the tax impact of adjustments made to underlying carrying values. Current portion of long-term debt and long term debt, less current maturities, have both been updated to reflect the updated Term Loan Agreement. Retained earnings and short term borrowings have been adjusted for $1,815 in transaction related costs.

 

Note 3 Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statement of Operations

 

Acquisition expenses of $226 and $686 were excluded in the combined condensed statement of operations as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Management fees of $502 and $650 were excluded from the combined condensed statement of operations as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The pro forma amounts include additional amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of assets at fair value, interest expense on increased debt levels and the related tax effects of these adjustments.
