TEGNA INC.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Overview

On May 31, 2017, TEGNA Inc. (TEGNA, we, or our) completed the previously announced spin-off of Cars.com Inc., formerly known as Cars.com LLC (Cars.com) creating two publicly traded companies: TEGNA, an innovative media company with the largest broadcast group among major network affiliates in the top 25 markets; and Cars.com, a leading digital automotive marketplace business. Effective as of the filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2017, Cars.com will be reported as a discontinued operation of TEGNA. In connection with and prior to the completion of the spin-off, the Company undertook a series of internal reorganization transactions to facilitate the transfer to Cars.com of the entities associated with the above-referenced business and the related assets and liabilities.

In connection with and prior to the completion of the spin-off, Cars.com borrowed an aggregate principal amount of approximately $675 million comprised of a $450 million term loan and a $225 million borrowing under a revolving credit facility agreement. The proceeds were used to make a tax-free distribution of $650 million from Cars.com to TEGNA. TEGNA used the tax-free distribution proceeds to fully pay down its then outstanding revolving credit agreement borrowings. The remaining proceeds of the tax-free distribution of approximately $40 million will be used by TEGNA to pay down historical debt outstanding.

Basis of preparation

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of TEGNA have been sourced from our historical consolidated financial statements and are being presented to give effect to the spin-off of Cars.com into an independent, publicly-traded company. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes which are available at the Commission’s web site at www.sec.gov and our investor website at www.tegna.com.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the following:

 

    The contribution by TEGNA to Cars.com, in connection with the spin-off, of the assets and liabilities that comprise TEGNA’s digital and automotive marketplace business;

 

    The transfers to and from Cars.com, in connection with the spin-off, of certain assets and liabilities that were reflected in our historical consolidated financial statements;

 

    Impact of TEGNA using the $650 million tax-free distribution from Cars.com to fully pay down its outstanding revolving credit agreement borrowings; and

 

    The impact of the other transactions contemplated by the separation and distribution agreement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and December 28, 2014, reflect our results as if the events had occurred on December 31, 2013. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017 gives effect to these events as if they occurred on that date.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are subject to the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. Our management believes that these assumptions and adjustments are reasonable under the circumstances and given the information available at this time.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of our financial position or results of operations had the spin-off occurred at the earlier dates indicated above. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are provided for illustrative and information purposes only, and are not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations or financial condition had the spin-off been completed on the dates assumed. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and assumptions that the we believe are reasonable, that reflect the impacts of events directly attributable to the spin-off that are factually supportable, and for purposes of the statements of income, are expected to have a continuing impact on TEGNA.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

a) Reflects the operations, assets, liabilities and equity of Cars.com. Excluded from these amounts are certain general corporate overhead expenses not specifically related to Cars.com. Such general corporate expenses do not meet the requirements to be presented in discontinued operations, and thus will be presented as part of our continuing operations. They are, however, not necessarily indicative of future corporate expenses.
b) Represents adjustments for intercompany transactions between Cars.com and TEGNA that were previously eliminated in consolidation and will no longer be eliminated subsequent to the spin-off.
c) Represents an adjustment to reduce interest expense related to the pay-off of TEGNA’s existing revolving credit facility (see note e). The rate used to calculate the interest expense reduction was 3.5%, which represents the revolving credit facility interest rate in effect as of March 31, 2017.
d) In determining the tax rate to apply to our pro forma adjustments, we used the applicable statutory rate based on the jurisdiction in which the adjustment relates.
e) In connection with the spin-off, Cars.com borrowed an aggregate principal amount of approximately $675 million comprised of a $450 million term loan and a $225 million borrowing under a revolving credit facility agreement. The proceeds were used to make a tax-free distribution of $650 million from Cars.com to TEGNA. This pro forma adjustment represents the pay-off of TEGNA’s existing revolving credit facility with the remainder of the tax-free distribution reflected as cash and cash equivalents.
