NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the year ended September 30, 2024 reflects the Merger of RJO with the Company and the related anticipated issuance of the Notes and the use of net proceeds therefrom as described above, as if such transactions had occurred on October 1, 2023, combining the results of the Company for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 and of RJO for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the six months ended March 31, 2025 reflects the Merger of RJO with the Company and the related anticipated issuance of the Notes and the use of net proceeds therefrom as described above, as if such transactions had occurred on October 1, 2024, combining the results of the Company and RJO for the respective periods. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 reflects the Merger of RJO with the Company and the related anticipated issuance of the Notes and the use of net proceeds therefrom as described above, as if such transactions had occurred on April 1, 2024, combining the results of the Company and RJO for the respective periods.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 reflects the RJO Merger and related anticipated issuance of the Notes and the use of net proceeds therefrom as described above, as if such transactions had occurred on March 31, 2025, combining the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company and RJO as of March 31, 2025.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the anticipated issuance of the Notes and the use of net proceeds therefrom as described above and also reflects the Merger under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company is the acquiror for financial accounting purposes. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the preliminary purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. To prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the Company adjusted RJO’s assets and liabilities to their estimated fair values based upon a preliminary allocation. As of the date of this Form 8-K, the Company has not completed the detailed valuations necessary to finalize the required estimated fair values of RJO’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the related allocation of the purchase price. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments upon the closing of the Merger may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments.
Certain financial information of RJO as presented in its historical consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation of the Company’s consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements for the purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as further detailed in Note 4. Upon completion of the Merger, a more detailed review of RJO’s accounting policies could result in additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies, that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Company, which are materially consistent with those adopted by RJO. As such, the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information does not reflect any adjustments to conform RJO’s results and financial position to the Company’s accounting policies.
3. PURCHASE PRICE ACCOUNTING AND ESTIMATED MERGER CONSIDERATION
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect a preliminary allocation of the cash and stock consideration to the fair value of RJO’s identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary purchase price allocation in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon the terms of the Merger Agreement. The aggregate of total cash consideration and stock consideration to be paid to RJO’s shareholders for the Merger is $900.0 million.
| | | | | |
Information regarding the consideration to be paid for the Merger is as follows: | |
Cash consideration established in the Merger Agreement | $ | 625.0 | |
Stock consideration established in the Merger Agreement | 275.0 | |
Total merger consideration | $ | 900.0 | |
| |
Information regarding the net tangible book value of RJO as of March 31, 2025 is as follows: | |
Fair value of tangible assets acquired | $ | 6,232.6 | |
Fair value of tangible liabilities assumed | 5,808.5 | |
Net tangible book value | $ | 424.1 | |
| |
Assuming the Merger had occurred on March 31, 2025, management has made an initial fair value estimate of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of that date. All purchase accounting estimates are subject to revision upon the closing of the Merger and upon finalizing its purchase accounting estimates; a process in which the Company expects to seek the assistance of a third-party valuation expert.
The Merger will include the acquisition of certain derivative financial instruments that are carried at fair value in RJO’s historical condensed consolidated statement of financial condition as of March 31, 2025. For assets and liabilities not carried at fair value in RJO’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial condition as of March 31, 2025, the Company believes that due to the short-term nature of the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, that their carrying values approximate their fair values.
Based upon the excess of the total Merger consideration summarized above in comparison to net tangible assets acquired, the Company would have recorded goodwill and intangibles related to the Merger of approximately $475.9 million assuming the Merger had occurred on March 31, 2025.
4. RECLASSIFICATION ADJUSTMENTS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of RJO’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the financial statement presentation of the Company. The reclassifications result in consistency of reporting between the Company and RJO with no impact on total assets, total liabilities, total stockholders’ equity, and net income.
Reclassifications to RJO’s condensed consolidated statement of financial condition as of March 31, 2025, are as follows:

5. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon the historical consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and of RJO and certain adjustments which the Company believes are reasonable to give effect to the Merger and the anticipated issuance of the Notes and use of the net proceeds therefrom as described above. These adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions, and therefore, the actual adjustments will likely differ from the pro forma adjustments. In particular, such adjustments include information based upon our preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration, which is subject to adjustment based upon the closing of the Merger and our further analysis.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included herein was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for the Merger. As discussed above, the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary at this time. However, the Company believes that the preliminary purchase price allocation and other related assumptions utilized in preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the pro forma effects of the Merger and the anticipated issuance of the Notes and use of the net proceeds therefrom as described above. Other than those pro forma adjustments described below, the Company believes there are no adjustments, in any material respects, that need to be made to present RJO’s financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or to align RJO’s historical accounting policies with the Company’s.
The adjustments made in preparing the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2025 are as follows:
A.To record the usage of cash on hand of $7.3 million from the balance sheet to pay a portion of the cash consideration of the Merger.
B.To adjust RJO exchange memberships, at cost to fair value in connection with the Company’s preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration.
C.To adjust RJO’s intangible assets, net and goodwill as a result of the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration to the fair value of the net assets acquired.
D.To record the anticipated issuance and use of net proceeds from the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $625.0 million, less deferred financing costs of $7.3 million.
E.To record the elimination of RJO’s equity of $513.9 million.
F.To record cash paid by StoneX for directly attributable, factually supportable, and nonrecurring acquisition related costs related to the Merger of $22.0 million.
G.To record combined goodwill and intangible assets of $475.9 million based upon the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration compared to the estimate of net tangible book value, consisting of estimates of goodwill and intangible assets of $120.0 million and $355.9 million, respectively. The intangible assets are expected to principally consist of customer relationships, technology programs and platforms, and trademarks, and estimated to have average useful lives of fifteen years.
H.To record the anticipated issuance of StoneX common stock (par value of $0.01 per share) in the aggregate amount of $275 million in connection with the portion of the Merger consideration paid in shares of Company stock.
The adjustments made in preparing the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statement for the year ended September 30, 2024 are as follows:
A.To adjust for the directly attributable and recurring interest expense of $46.1 million that will be incurred by the Company following the anticipated issuance of the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $625.0 million assuming these notes bear interest at a rate of 7.375%. A 0.125%
increase in the actual interest rate at which these notes bear interest would increase pro forma interest expense by approximately $0.8 million.
B.To adjust for the directly attributable, factually supportable, and recurring amortization of $1.5 million in deferred financing costs that will be incurred by the Company following the anticipated issuance of the Notes.
C.To reverse the amortization expense of $6.2 million incurred on RJO’s previously acquired intangible assets based upon the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration to the fair value of the net assets acquired.
D.To record amortization expense of $23.7 million estimated on a straight line basis incurred on $355.9 million of estimated identifiable intangible assets with determinable lives and average expected useful lives of fifteen years, based upon the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration to the fair value of the net assets acquired.
E.To record the tax effects of the pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments attributable to RJO were tax effected at the applicable blended statutory tax rate of 22.0%, and the pro forma adjustments attributable to the Company were tax effected at the applicable blended statutory tax rate of 26.3%. The Company’s effective tax rate may be materially different after conclusion of final acquisition accounting, removal of non-recurring items reflected in historical amounts, analysis of the post-closing geographical mix of income, and other factors. Adjustments to tax assets and liabilities will occur in conjunction with the finalization of the purchase accounting, and these adjustments could be material.
F.To reflect 3.2 million additional shares of StoneX common stock outstanding related to the issuance of shares equal to the aggregate amount of $275 million in connection with the portion of the Merger consideration paid in shares of Company stock. The amount of additional shares was calculated using the most recent ten day average of $84.92 as of June 18, 2025. The number of shares will be equal to $275 million divided by the volume-weighted average trading price for one share of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days prior to (and including) the last trading day prior to the day of the closing, subject to a ceiling of 115% of $77.50 and a floor of 85% of $77.50.
The adjustments made in preparing the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statement for the six months ended March 31, 2025 are as follows:
A.To adjust for the directly attributable and recurring interest expense of $23.0 million that will be incurred by the Company following the anticipated issuance of the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $625.0 million assuming these notes bear interest at a rate of 7.375%. A 0.125% increase in the actual interest rate at which these notes bear interest would increase pro forma interest expense by approximately $0.4 million.
B.To adjust for the directly attributable, factually supportable, and recurring amortization of $0.8 million in deferred financing costs that will be incurred by the Company following the anticipated issuance of the Notes.
C.To reverse the amortization expense of $3.1 million incurred on RJO’s previously acquired intangible assets based upon the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration to the fair value of the net assets acquired.
D.To record amortization expense of $11.9 million estimated on a straight line basis incurred on $355.9 million of estimated identifiable intangible assets with determinable lives and average expected useful lives of fifteen years, incurred on estimated identifiable intangible assets with determinable lives based upon the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration to the fair value of the net assets acquired.
E.To record the tax effects of the pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments attributable to RJO were tax effected at the applicable blended statutory tax rate of 22.0%, and the pro forma adjustments attributable to the Company were tax effected at the applicable blended statutory tax rate of 26.7%. The Company’s effective tax rate may be materially different after conclusion of final acquisition accounting, removal of non-recurring items reflected in historical amounts, analysis of the post-closing geographical mix of income, and other factors. Adjustments to tax assets and liabilities will occur in conjunction with the finalization of the purchase accounting, and these adjustments could be material.
F.To reflect 3.2 million additional shares of StoneX common stock outstanding related to the issuance of shares equal to the aggregate amount of $275 million in connection with the portion of the Merger consideration paid in shares of Company stock. The amount of additional shares was calculated using the most recent ten day average closing price per share of $84.92 as of June 18, 2025. The number of shares will be equal to $275 million divided by the volume-weighted average trading price for one share of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days prior to (and including) the last trading day prior to the day of the closing, subject to a ceiling of 115% of $77.50 and a floor of 85% of $77.50.
The adjustments made in preparing the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statement for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 are as follows:
A.To adjust for the directly attributable and recurring interest expense of $46.1 million that will be incurred by the Company following the anticipated issuance of the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $625.0 million assuming these notes bear interest at a rate of 7.375%. A 0.125% increase in the actual interest rate at which these notes bear interest would increase pro forma interest expense by approximately $0.8 million.
B.To adjust for the directly attributable, factually supportable, and recurring amortization of $1.5 million in deferred financing costs that will be incurred by the Company following the anticipated issuance of the Notes.
C.To reverse the amortization expense of $6.2 million incurred on RJO’s previously acquired intangible assets based upon the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration to the fair value of the net assets acquired.
D.To record amortization expense of $23.7 million estimated on a straight line basis incurred on $355.9 million of estimated identifiable intangible assets with determinable lives and an average expected useful life of fifteen years, incurred on estimated identifiable intangible assets with determinable lives based upon the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration to the fair value of the net assets acquired.

F.To reflect 3.2 million additional shares of StoneX common stock outstanding related to the issuance of shares equal to the aggregate amount of $275 million in connection with the portion of the Merger consideration paid in shares of Company stock.
