Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

Effective September 1, 2017, Saga Broadcasting, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saga Communications, Inc. and a Delaware limited liability company (“Saga Broadcasting”), Saga Quad States Communications, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saga Communications, Inc. and a Delaware limited liability company (“Saga Quad States,” and together with Saga Broadcasting, “Seller”), completed the disposition of Seller’s television segment to QueenB Television of Texas, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“QueenB Texas”), and QueenB Television of Kansas/Missouri, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“QueenB Kansas/Missouri, and together with QueenB Texas, “Seller”), as assignees of Evening Telegram Company d/b/a Morgan Murphy Media, a Wisconsin corporation, upon the satisfaction of certain closing conditions described in the Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 9, 2017 (the “QueenB Agreement”) by and among Seller, Buyer, and, solely in its role as guarantor under the QueenB Agreement, Saga Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Saga”), as further described in the Form 8-K filed by Saga on May 10, 2017. The purchase price under the QueenB Agreement was $66,621,421.59, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, payable in cash.

 

Our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017 reflected the television station operating results as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated statements of income and reflected the television stations’ assets and liabilities as discontinued operations in the June 30, 2017 consolidated balance sheet for all periods presented.

 

Our unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data was derived from our historical consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet assumes the disposition of the television stations occurred on June 30, 2017. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income give effect to the disposition of the television stations as if the disposition occurred on January 1, 2014. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and notes, and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

 

The pro forma adjustments are based on the best information available and assumptions that management believes are factually supportable and reasonable; however, such adjustments are subject to change. In addition, such adjustments are estimates. The unaudited pro forma consolidated information is for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not intended to reflect what our consolidated financial position and results of operations would have been had the disposition occurred on the dates indicated and is not necessarily indicative of our future consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

The pro forma adjustments remove all of the television stations’ assets, liabilities and results of operations, and give effect to an adjustment to reflect the net cash proceeds and gain from the sale of the television stations.
