Schedule of Pro Forma Information
The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations of Choice and Choice Hotels Canada as if the Company had completed the Transaction on January 1, 2024, but using the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The unaudited pro forma information reflects adjustments relating to (i) the allocation of the purchase price and related adjustments, including the incremental amortization expense based on the fair values of the intangible assets acquired, (ii) the incremental impact of the senior unsecured revolving credit facility draw on interest expense, (iii) nonrecurring transaction costs, and (iv) the income tax impact of the aforementioned pro forma adjustments.
As required by GAAP, these unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any cost saving synergies from operating efficiencies. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined company would have been if the Transaction had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, nor are they indicative of the future results of operations.
