UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Introduction

 

On November 2, 2025, Kimberly-Clark Corporation (“K-C”) entered into a merger agreement with Kenvue, Inc. (“Kenvue”) First Merger Sub, and Second Merger Sub. The merger agreement provided for, among other things, the acquisition of Kenvue by K-C pursuant to (i) the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Kenvue, with Kenvue surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of K-C (the “First Merger”), and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the initial surviving company merging with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of K-C.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the pro forma effects of the accounting for the mergers and other transactions described below (collectively, the “Transactions”). This includes pro forma adjustments intended to illustrate the estimated effects of the Permanent Financing (as defined below) (the “Financing Adjustments”) and the mergers and other related transactions (the “Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) (collectively, the “Adjustments”).

 

In the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the historical consolidated financial statements of K-C and Kenvue have been adjusted to depict the accounting for the Transactions in accordance with GAAP. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. All adjustments are preliminary and subject to change.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, Pro Forma Financial Information. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented as if the Transactions had occurred on June 30, 2026, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and the year ended December 31, 2025, are presented to give effect to the Transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2025.

 

Description of the Transactions

 

Under the terms of the merger agreement, each share of Kenvue common stock, $0.01 par value per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (other than canceled shares and appraisal shares) shall be converted into the right to receive, and become exchangeable for, 0.14625 issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of K-C common stock, subject to cash in lieu of any fractional shares, plus $3.50 in cash, in each case, without interest. Upon closing of the mergers, current K-C stockholders are expected to own approximately 54% and current Kenvue stockholders are expected to own approximately 46% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.

 

The merger agreement provides that:

 

·Each Kenvue stock option outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger will convert into a K-C stock option with respect to a number of shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Kenvue common stock subject to such Kenvue stock option immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger and (ii) the equity award exchange ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Kenvue stock option immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger divided by (B) the equity award exchange ratio. Each Kenvue assumed stock option will be subject to the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) that applied to the corresponding Kenvue stock option award immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger, except that, following a qualifying termination, any vested Kenvue assumed stock options will remain outstanding and exercisable until the earlier of the one-year anniversary of such qualifying termination and the expiration date for such Kenvue assumed stock option assuming no termination of employment.

·Each other Kenvue equity award, including all Kenvue deferred stock unit awards, time-vesting restricted stock unit awards and performance-vesting restricted stock unit awards, that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger will convert into an award of K-C restricted stock units with respect to a number of shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Kenvue common stock subject to such Kenvue equity award immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger and (B) the equity award exchange ratio, with the same terms and conditions that applied to such Kenvue equity award immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (including vesting and dividend equivalent rights); provided that (I) in the case of any Kenvue RSU award that is or becomes vested as of the effective time of the First Merger pursuant to its terms, such Kenvue RSU award will instead be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration for each share of Kenvue common stock subject to the Kenvue RSU award; and (II) in the case of any Kenvue PSU award, the number of shares of Kenvue common stock subject to such award immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger will be based on the greater of target and actual performance through the closing of the mergers and the corresponding RSU conversion award will no longer be subject to any performance-based vesting conditions.

 

On January 29, 2026, the Kenvue and K-C stockholders approved the transaction. The mergers are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

 

Accounting for the Transactions

 

The mergers will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with K-C as the accounting acquirer. Under this method of accounting, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized and measured at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.

 

In connection with the merger agreement, K-C and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”) executed a bridge loan facility commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”), dated November 2, 2025, pursuant to which the Lender has committed to provide bridge financing, comprised of a $3.9 billion syndicated bridge facility and a $3.8 billion non-syndicated bridge facility (together, the “Bridge Facility”). On December 9, 2025, K-C terminated the $3.8 billion non-syndicated bridge facility as a result of entering into (x) the Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement by and among K-C, the Lender, and the other lenders party thereto (the “ DDTL Credit Facility”), providing K-C with the ability to borrow up to $1.8 billion at the closing date, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions for similar facilities and (y) the New Revolving Credit Facility, which provides K-C with the ability to borrow up to $4.0 billion (which may be increased by up to $1.0 billion upon obtaining additional commitments from the then-existing or new lenders and the satisfaction of certain other conditions), $2.0 billion of which is available with limited conditionality to ensure certainty of funds for the purposes set forth in the immediately succeeding sentence, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for similar facilities. All commitments under the DDTL Credit Facility were terminated on July 7, 2026, in connection with the consummation of the IFP Transaction (as defined in Note 3). Upon successful completion of the offering of new senior notes (the “Permanent Financing”), the remaining $3.9 billion of the Bridge Facility attributable to the syndicated bridge facility will be terminated. The total Permanent Financing amount expected to be offered is $4.9 billion. This document is not an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy any such debt or other indebtedness.

The Permanent Financing is expected to be used for financing a portion of the cash consideration and fees and expenses related to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The Bridge Facility (subject to termination upon successful completion of the Permanent Financing) and the New Revolving Credit Facility are available as an alternative source of funding as needed.

 

K-C intends to fund the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement with a combination of available cash and proceeds from Permanent Financing as disclosed in this document. Accordingly, for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, K-C assumed the issuance of the Permanent Financing.

 

In connection with the pending mergers, on September 28, 2026, K-C commenced offers to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) any and all outstanding notes issued by Kenvue (the “Kenvue Senior Notes”) for up to $7.0 billion aggregate principal amount of new notes to be issued by K-C and cash, which are conditioned upon, among other things, the closing of the mergers. The expiration date of the Exchange Offers will be extended until the closing of the mergers. In conjunction with the Exchange Offers, K-C is concurrently soliciting consents to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Kenvue Senior Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the indenture. Due to the terms of the new notes to be issued reflecting those of the outstanding Kenvue Senior Notes, the impact of the Exchange Offers is anticipated to be immaterial to the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that the cash portion of the merger consideration and transaction costs will be funded through a combination of K-C’s cash on hand as of June 30, 2026, proceeds from the Permanent Financing as described above, and proceeds from the sale of a majority stake of K-C’s International Family Care and Professional segment (the “IFP Business”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to sale of the IFP Business within K-C’s pro forma historical information, as further discussed in Note 3 below. Sale of the IFP Business is not regulatorily driven.

 

As a condition to obtain regulatory approval of the mergers in certain jurisdictions, K-C is required to divest certain contracts, rights to brands, and assets in various jurisdictions concurrently with the close of the Transactions. The divestitures are subject to customary closing conditions, including review by regulatory authorities, and the successful closing of the mergers. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to these divestitures, which K-C does not deem as significant, as Transaction Accounting Adjustments, as further discussed in Note 4 below.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the combined company’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the Transactions been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the combined company’s future results of operations or financial position for any future period. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. It is likely that the actual adjustments upon the completion of the Transactions will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the differences may be material.

Note 1. Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, Pro Forma Financial Information. The Adjustments have been computed in order to show the effects of the Transactions on the condensed combined historical financial information of K-C and Kenvue. These adjustments are preliminary and based upon the estimated fair value of merger consideration, hereafter referred to as purchase consideration within the context of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, and management’s estimates of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with K-C as the accounting acquirer, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and based on the historical financial statements of K-C and Kenvue. Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, while transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from and should be read in conjunction with:

 

·the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information;

·the historical audited consolidated financial statements of K-C as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in K-C’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 12, 2026;

·the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of K-C as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, included in K-C’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 4, 2026;

·the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Kenvue as of and for the year ended December 28, 2025, included in Kenvue’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2026;

·the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Kenvue as of and for the six months ended June 28, 2026, included in Kenvue’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 6, 2026.

 

Following the Transactions, Kenvue will adopt K-C’s fiscal calendar. Differences in fiscal year end are within one quarter or less with no adjustments made, as permitted under Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 is presented as if the Transactions had occurred on June 30, 2026, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, give effect to the Transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income are only presented through net income from continuing operations, and therefore net income from discontinued operations is not presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and may not be indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the Transactions had been completed as of the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results of K-C following the Transactions. In determining the preliminary estimate of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Kenvue, K-C used publicly available benchmarking information, indications of value derived using income approach methodologies, including discounted cash flow analyses, as well as a variety of other assumptions, including market participant assumptions. The allocation of the aggregate purchase consideration depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, all of which are preliminary. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, K-C has not completed the valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair market value of Kenvue’s assets to be acquired or liabilities to be assumed, other than a preliminary estimate for intangible assets, property, plant & equipment, inventory, and debt. Accordingly, apart from the aforementioned, certain Kenvue assets and liabilities are presented at their respective carrying amounts which at this time K-C deems to approximate fair value. The same considerations apply to values attributed to certain assets to be divested (refer to Note 4m below), which were subject to adjustment from the preliminary estimate of fair value. A final determination of the fair value of Kenvue’s assets and liabilities will be based on Kenvue’s actual assets and liabilities as of the closing date, and therefore, cannot be made prior to the consummation of the mergers. The final determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed relating to the mergers could differ materially from the preliminary allocation of aggregate purchase consideration.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any anticipated synergies or dis-synergies, operating efficiencies, or cost savings that may result from the Transactions. The pro forma adjustments represent K-C’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that K-C believes are reasonable under the circumstances. There were no material transactions between K-C and Kenvue during the periods presented.

 

Note 2. Accounting Policies and Reclassifications

 

During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, management performed a preliminary review of Kenvue’s financial information to identify differences in accounting policies compared to those of K-C and differences in financial statement presentation compared to the presentation of K-C. With the information currently available, other than the reclassification adjustments described below, and certain accounting policy adjustments described in Note 4 below, K-C is not aware of any other differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. However, K-C will continue to perform its detailed review of Kenvue’s accounting policies. Upon completion of that review, differences may be identified between the accounting policies of K-C and Kenvue that when conformed could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Note 3. Sale of IFP Business

 

On June 5, 2025, K-C announced that it had entered into an Equity and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Suzano S.A. (“Suzano”) and Suzano International Holding B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzano (“Buyer”), to facilitate the sale of K-C’s IFP Business. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, among other things, K-C effectuated a reorganization through the transfer of substantially all assets, liabilities, and equity interests of the IFP Business to Kimberly-Clark IFP NewCo B.V., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of K-C (the “Joint Venture”). On June 26, 2026, Fampro Tissue Finance Co Limited (“Fampro”) entered into a facilities agreement (the “Facilities Agreement”) with FamPro Tissue Holdings B.V., as the original guarantor, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. New York Branch, Bank of America, N.A., London Branch, BNP Paribas and J.P. Morgan Securities plc, as mandated lead arrangers, bookrunners and global coordinators and the other lenders party thereto, that provides for (i) EUR 1,170 million of senior unsecured term loans (the “IFP Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a EUR 260 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “IFP Revolving Credit Facility”). On June 29, 2026, K-C borrowed approximately $1.3 billion under the IFP Term Loan Facility. On July 1, 2026, Buyer acquired a 51% interest in the Joint Venture for a base cash purchase price of approximately $1.7 billion, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, and K-C retained a 49% equity interest in the Joint Venture, with an initial estimated fair value of approximately $1.2 billion (collectively, the “IFP Transaction”). In connection with the closing of the IFP Transaction, the obligations under the Facilities Agreement were transferred to the Joint Venture. A portion of the cash proceeds is attributed to a long-term license granted to the Joint Venture for the use of certain of K-C’s global brands, patents, and know-how in manufacturing.

The IFP Transaction represents a strategic shift in K-C’s operations and has been classified as discontinued operations in K-C’s historical consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, in accordance with ASC 205-20 –Discontinued Operations. The historical condensed consolidated balance sheet is presented to reflect the disposal of the IFP Business and the retained interest in the equity method investment as if the IFP Transaction had been completed on June 30, 2026 and statements of income have been adjusted to reflect the disposal of the IFP Business and the retained interest in the equity method investment as if the IFP Transaction had been completed on January 1, 2025, as indicated above. As the pro forma condensed combined statements of income are only presented through net income from continuing operations, net income from discontinued operations, including the gain on sale of the IFP Business, is not presented. The adjustments below are reflected to exclude the results of the IFP Business from continuing operations and present the estimated net share of the equity method investment following the IFP Transaction.

 

The following represents adjustments to K-C’s historical consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026:

(3a)Represents the adjustments for removal of assets and liabilities of the IFP Business, which are reflected as current and non-current assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in K-C’s historical consolidated balance sheet.

 

(3b)Represents the adjustment for the preliminary estimated fair value of certain brands, patents, and know-how in manufacturing retained by K-C and licensed to the Joint Venture for a period of up to 30 years, which will be recorded as deferred revenue. The adjustment to "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" represents the current portion of deferred revenue, while the adjustment to "Other Liabilities" represents the long-term portion.

 

(3c)Represents the adjustment for $26.0 million for a service credit provided to the Joint Venture with respect to TSA related expenses, wherein the service credit will be applied against TSA expenses incurred by the Joint Venture, as well as the recognition of a $4.4 million liability associated with potential future obligations arising from the disposal of the IFP business.

 

(3d)Represents the adjustment for preliminary gain on disposal of the IFP Business. The following table summarizes the calculation of the pro forma adjustment for gain on disposal:

(1)Represents the base contractual cash purchase price of $1.7 billion, less net post-close adjustments of $0.4 billion. The post-close adjustments are primarily comprised of the Buyer’s 51% interest of the indebtedness held by the Joint Venture.

(2)Represents estimated transaction expenses of $48.9 million associated with the IFP Transaction, which are deducted from the cash proceeds of $1.3 billion in determining the net adjustment to “Cash and cash equivalents” presented above.

(3)In conjunction with the disposal of the IFP Business, K-C undertook various pre-sale restructuring steps that resulted in additional tax expense. After completion of the final restructuring steps, the sale of the IFP Business resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $6.3 million and is included in the preliminary gain on disposal reflected above.

(3e)Represents K-C’s recognition of deferred revenue related to the license of intellectual property. Refer to Note (3b) for additional information.

 

(3f)Represents the adjustment for TSA related income for the support provided to the Joint Venture, net of service credit amount.

 

(3g)Represents adjustments to the historical consolidated statements of income to recognize K-C’s proportional share of net income of the Joint Venture for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. These estimated adjustments are subject to change, which may result from finalization of any basis differences between the fair value of the equity method investment and the historical carrying value of the net assets of the IFP Business.

 

(3h)Represents the adjustment to reduce K-C’s proportional share of net income of the Joint Venture for the impact of pro forma interest expense related to obligations under the IFP Term Loan Facility that were transferred to the Joint Venture prior to the completion of the IFP Transaction of $9.4 million and $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. The interest expense is calculated using an interest rate of 3.8% and is net of tax effect. A 12.5 basis point change in the interest rate would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the interest expense of approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.

 

(3i)Represents the estimated income tax expense impact of K-C’s recognition of deferred revenue related to the license of intellectual property in Note (3e) and the adjustment for net TSA related income included in marketing, research and general expenses discussed in Note (3f) using statutory tax rates based on the applicable jurisdictions. The effective tax rate of the combined company following the transaction could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on the post-transaction activities, including legal entity restructuring and the geographical mix of earnings. The estimated incremental income tax expense impact of K-C’s proportional share of net income of the Joint Venture in Note (3g) and pro forma interest expense related to the IFP Term Loan Facility amounts retained by the Joint Venture in Note (3h) is not expected to be significant due to the taxation of such net income at the K-C ownership level.

 

All amounts are preliminary and subject to change upon finalization of the accounting for the IFP Transaction.

Note 4. Transaction Accounting Adjustments

 

Calculation of Purchase Consideration and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects preliminary estimated purchase consideration of $34.7 billion. The fair value of the purchase consideration expected to be transferred on the closing date includes the value of the estimated cash consideration, the estimated fair value of K-C common stock to be transferred, and the estimated fair value of assumed Kenvue equity awards attributable to pre-combination services. The calculation of estimated purchase consideration is as follows:

 

Consideration Transferred

 

(In millions)  As of June 30, 2026 
Estimated cash consideration (1)  $6,723 
Estimated fair value of K-C common stock to be issued (2)   27,837 
Estimated fair value of replaced equity awards attributable to pre-combination service (3)   114 
Total estimated purchase consideration  $34,674 
Total cash consideration  $6,723 
Total equity consideration   27,951 
Total estimated purchase consideration  $34,674 

 

(1)Represents the estimated cash consideration to be paid, consisting of approximately $6.7 billion calculated as a product of 1,920.9 million outstanding shares of Kenvue common stock and cash consideration of $3.50 per share. The number of shares of Kenvue’s common stock is as of September 14, 2026.

(2)Represents the estimated fair value of approximately 280.9 million shares of K-C common stock estimated to be issued, calculated using the per share price of K-C common stock of $99.09 per share as of September 14, 2026. As outlined in the merger agreement, each share of Kenvue’s common stock to be settled at closing will be exchanged for 0.14625 shares of K-C common stock.

(3)Represents the estimated aggregate fair value of Kenvue’s Options, Kenvue RSU awards, Kenvue PSU awards and Kenvue DSU awards, collectively referred to as “Kenvue’s equity awards”, attributable to pre-combination services.

 

18

 

 

The actual value of K-C’s common stock to be issued will depend on the per share price of K-C’s common stock at the closing date of the mergers, and therefore, the actual purchase consideration will fluctuate with the market price of K-C common stock until the mergers are completed. The following table shows the effect of changes in K-C’s stock price and the resulting impact on the estimated purchase consideration, with the same impact to goodwill:

 

Change in Stock Price

 

(In millions, except stock price)  Stock Price   Change in Purchase
Consideration
   Estimated Purchase
Consideration
 
Increase of 10%  $109.00   $2,795   $37,469 
Decrease of 10%  $89.18   $(2,795)  $31,879 

 

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

 

Under the acquisition method of accounting, Kenvue’s identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed by K-C will be recorded at the estimated acquisition date fair values. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and are prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the mergers. The final determination of the purchase price allocation will be completed as soon as practicable after the completion of the mergers and will be based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date.

 

The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ significantly from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed.

 

The following table sets forth a preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase consideration to Kenvue’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets expected to be acquired and liabilities expected to be assumed by K-C, as if the mergers had been completed on June 30, 2026.

 

(In millions)  Estimated Fair value 
Cash and cash equivalents  $993 
Accounts receivable, net   2,868 
Inventories   2,333 
Other current assets   168 
Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net   3,892 
Other Intangible Assets, Net   31,400 
Other Assets   777 
Total Assets   42,431 
Debt payable within one year   1,483 
Trade accounts payable   2,286 
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities   2,152 
Long-Term Debt   6,871 
Deferred Income Taxes   7,425 
Non-current Employee Benefits   341 
Other Liabilities   525 
Total Liabilities   21,083 
Net assets acquired (a)   21,348 
Estimated purchase consideration (b)   34,674 
Estimated goodwill (b) - (a)  $13,326

Goodwill represents the excess of the preliminary estimated purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of the underlying net assets acquired. Goodwill will not be amortized but reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce of Kenvue, planned growth in certain markets, and synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of K-C and Kenvue. A majority of the goodwill recognized in the mergers is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

The adjustments included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2026, are as follows:

 

(4a)Represents the total purchase consideration of $34.7 billion, consisting of (i) cash consideration comprising $6.7 billion, and (ii) equity consideration comprising (a) issuance of approximately 280.9 million shares of K-C common stock with an estimated fair value of $27.9 billion, and (b) issuance of K-C’s equity awards with an estimated fair value of $113.9 million attributable to pre-combination services. The adjustment also includes a reduction to other assets of $6.0 million for deferred share issuance costs that are recognized in additional paid-in capital.

 

(4b)Represents the adjustment to reflect the preliminary estimated fair value of property, plant and equipment acquired in the mergers. Property, plant and equipment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are provided in the table below. The estimated fair values of real and personal property were determined using the cost approach. The depreciation expense related to these assets is reflected as a pro forma adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income, as further described in Note (4aa).

 

(In millions)  Estimated Fair Value   Estimated Useful Life (in
years)
 
Machinery and equipment  $1,275    3-9

Eliminate historical Kenvue property, plant and equipment carrying value   2,226      
Total property, plant and equipment pro forma adjustment  $1,666      

 

(4c)Represents the adjustment to reflect the preliminary estimated fair value of intangible assets acquired in the mergers. Identifiable intangible assets in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are provided in the table below. The estimated fair values of brands and customer relationships were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”) under the income approach. The amortization related to these identifiable intangible assets is reflected as a pro forma adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income, as further described in Note (4bb).

Total     31,400          
Eliminate historical Kenvue intangible assets carrying value     8,406          
Total identifiable intangible assets pro forma adjustment   $ 22,994          

 

(4d)Represents a net adjustment of $611.0 million to reflect the preliminary estimated fair value of Kenvue’s inventory acquired utilizing a combination of market and cost approaches. The $611.0 million is comprised of a $721.0 million preliminary estimated fair value adjustment, offset by adjustments to Kenvue’s inventory acquired of $110.0 million for certain indirect costs in order to conform to K-C’s accounting policies.

 

(4e)Represents the elimination of Kenvue’s historical equity balances.

 

(4f)Represents the cash payment of estimated remaining nonrecurring transaction-related expenses of $215.2 million to be incurred by K-C, including legal, accounting and regulatory fees directly associated with the mergers paid at the closing date, and payment of $32.1 million currently accrued by K-C. All currently accrued transaction expenses are expected to be paid prior to or at close.

 

(4g)Represents cash payment of retention bonuses for non-executive K-C and Kenvue employees of $47.4 million that are expected to be paid at the closing date, including $16.7 million currently accrued by Kenvue.

 

(4h)Represents the payment of one-time cash transaction bonus of $4.0 million to a Kenvue executive and retention bonuses of $3.5 million to certain other executives in connection with the closing of the mergers, including $1.8 million currently accrued by Kenvue. Additionally, certain Kenvue employees may be eligible for incremental compensation pursuant to double trigger change in control provisions, which require both a change in control and a subsequent qualifying event. These payments could be triggered after the closing date. This adjustment does not include amounts related to incremental compensation to other Kenvue employees as timing of payments is not known and the amounts are not currently estimable.

 

(4i)Represents the preliminary estimated fair value adjustment to the carrying amount of Kenvue’s Senior Notes which will be assumed in connection with the mergers. The fair value was estimated based upon quoted market prices in active markets. The values are subject to change as additional information becomes available.

 

(In millions)  As of June 30, 2026 
Carrying value of Senior Notes  $6,940 
Fair market value of Senior Notes   6,614 
Total Step-down adjustment in assumed debt  $326 

 

(4j)Represents an adjustment to Kenvue’s estimated future legal defense costs for product liability claims from accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities in order to conform to K-C’s accounting policies.

 

(4k)Represents the preliminary estimated fair value adjustment to an assumed contractual liability related to future payment obligations. The attributable portion of the estimated fair value of future payment obligations due within one year is recorded within Debt payable within one year, with the remaining estimated portions due thereafter recorded within Long-Term Debt.

 

(4l)Represents the estimated increase of $5.1 billion to net deferred tax liabilities and $161.7 million net decrease to deferred tax assets related to temporary differences driven primarily from the fair value of Kenvue’s intangible assets. The net deferred tax adjustments are inclusive of offsets of $442.1 million to eliminate Kenvue’s historical deferred tax liability related to tax-deductible goodwill, and a reclass of $30.8 million from other current assets to deferred tax liabilities. Deferred taxes are established using statutory tax rates based on the applicable jurisdictions. The effective tax rate of the combined company following the transaction could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on the post-transaction activities, including legal entity restructuring and the geographical mix of earnings. The estimated deferred tax adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities, changes in judgment regarding realizability of deferred tax assets as a result of the combination, fair value adjustments related to Kenvue equity awards attributable to pre-combination services and other assumptions that will need to be finalized in conjunction with the consummation of the mergers. These changes in estimates could be material.

 

21

 

 

(4m)Represents the estimated impact related to the regulatory divestitures for certain contracts, rights to brands, and assets, with respect to inventories, other intangible assets, net, and property, plant, and equipment, net. The total amount of estimated proceeds to be received is $322.8 million, based on preliminary agreements for the divestitures. The preliminary estimated associated net book value of the divested assets is $310.9 million, resulting in a preliminary gain of $11.9 million. The divested book value of the assets is inclusive of preliminary estimated fair value adjustments attributable to the assets acquired. The accounting for the divestitures, including the impact of any service agreements, licensed intellectual property, allocation of fair value to assets to be divested and other divestiture terms is subject to change upon completion of the divestitures.

 

(4n)Represents the adjustment to goodwill based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, as described above.

 

(In millions)  Amounts 
Goodwill resulting from the mergers  $13,326 
Less: Elimination of Kenvue’s historical Goodwill   (9,265)
Pro forma adjustment  $4,061 

 

(4o)Represents the cash payment of estimated success fees payable by Kenvue at the closing date. These fees are contingent upon the successful closing of the mergers and will become a liability, and are expected to be settled, at closing. The adjustment reflects the settlement of these fees upon completion of the mergers.

 

The adjustments included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and for the year ended December 31, 2025 are as follows:

 

(4aa)Represents a net increase in depreciation expense on a straight-line basis of approximately $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and $52.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase is based on the preliminary estimated step-up in the fair value of property, plant, and equipment and the related estimated useful lives assigned.

 

A 10% change in the preliminary estimated fair value of property, plant and equipment would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the depreciation expense of approximately $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and $25.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.

The Company has already expensed $32.1 million in the historical financial statements as of June 30, 2026. These nonrecurring expenses are not anticipated to affect the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income beyond twelve months after the closing date.

 

(4ee)Represents retention bonus expense totaling $94.8 million, of which $16.7 million had already been accrued in the historical financial statements as of June 30, 2026.

(4gg)Represents a one-time transaction bonus of $4.0 million to a Kenvue executive in connection with the closing of the mergers. In addition, the adjustment reflects retention bonuses of $7.0 million to be paid to certain executives, of which $3.5 million is expected to be paid at the closing date and the remaining $3.5 million to paid no earlier than six months following closing, subject to ongoing service of Kenvue executives. As of June 30, 2026, $1.8 million had already been accrued in the historical financial statements.

 

Additionally, certain Kenvue employees may be eligible for incremental compensation pursuant to double trigger change in control provisions, which require both a change in control and a subsequent qualifying event. These payments could be triggered after the closing date. This adjustment does not include amounts related to incremental compensation to other Kenvue employees as timing of payments is not known and the amounts are not currently estimable.

 

(4hh)Reflects the adjustment to interest expense related to accretion of the step-down in preliminary estimated fair value of Kenvue’s existing Senior Notes assumed in connection with the mergers, as described in Note (4i).

(4kk)Represents estimated income tax impact of $30.5 million and $289.8 million related to the transaction accounting adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and for the year ended December 31, 2025, after applying the applicable statutory income tax rates to pre-tax pro forma adjustments and adjusting for certain expected tax impacts. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company anticipates certain transaction costs will be nondeductible for income tax purposes. The estimated statutory tax rates used for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information will likely vary from the actual effective tax rates in periods as of and subsequent to the completion of the mergers depending on post-Transaction activities, including legal entity restructuring and integration with parent which can affect future US inclusions and the combined company’s ability to claim foreign tax credits, repatriation decisions, deductibility of transaction-related costs, changes in recognition and measurement of Kenvue’s uncertain tax positions and realizability of deferred tax assets, geographical mix of earnings, among other things.

 

(4ll)Represents an adjustment to eliminate net sales, cost of products sold, and marketing, research and general expenses attributable to the divestitures in select international markets, reflecting the exclusion of the divested operations from the pro forma combined financial information described in Note (4m). This adjustment results in a decrease to net sales of $119.6 million, cost of products sold of $66.4 million, and marketing, research and general expenses of $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and a decrease to net sales of $235.2 million, cost of products sold of $144.8 million, and marketing, research and general expenses of $28.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025, this adjustment also includes the preliminary gain of $11.9 million associated with the divested operations as described in Note (4m).

Note 5. Financing Adjustments

 

The adjustments included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2026, are as follows:

 

(5a)Represents the adjustment for issuance of Permanent Financing net of issuance costs. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, K-C assumed the issuance of long term Permanent Financing in the total amount of $4.9 billion. K-C estimated total cash required of $7.0 billion at transaction close, inclusive of cash consideration, payment of transaction costs, and cash needs of the combined company. Of that amount, approximately $1.0 billion was sourced from cash on balance sheet for K-C, and an additional $1.2 billion net was received from proceeds from the IFP Transaction. The remaining cash is expected to be sourced from the Permanent Financing. This presentation is preliminary and subject to change as additional information becomes available to finalize the accounting treatment.

 

The adjustment also includes the write off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Bridge Facility and DDTL that were terminated in connection with the Transactions. The adjustment resulted in a decrease in other assets of $3.6 million.

 

(In millions)  Long-Term Debt   Total 
Proceeds from Permanent Financing  $4,900   $4,900 
Payment of issuance costs   (22)   (22)
Pro forma adjustment for Debt  $4,878   $4,878 

 

(5b)Represents the adjustment related to the settlement of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements. K-C has entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements for an aggregate notional amount of $4.3 billion to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates from the trade date through the forecasted issuance of the Permanent Financing to fund the mergers. The forward-starting interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and, accordingly, upon the incurrence of the $4.9 billion of Permanent Financing to fund the mergers, K-C will settle these derivative instruments and the fair value at settlement that is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the Permanent Financing. As of September 14, 2026, K-C’s forward-starting interest rate swaps were in an asset position with a fair value of $97.5 million.

 

The forward starting interest rate swap derivative was in a liability position with a fair value of $24.3 million as of June 30, 2026. The adjustment assumes the cash settlement of K-C’s forward starting interest rate swaps, with a value of $97.5 million. The resulting impact is a $97.5 million increase to cash, a $29.9 million increase to deferred income taxes, a $24.3 million reduction to other liabilities, and a $91.9 million increase to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), representing the change in fair value of the derivative from June 30, 2026 to September 14, 2026.

 

The adjustments included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and for the year ended December 31, 2025 are as follows:

 

(5aa)Represents interest expense of $125.8 million and $255.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively related to the Permanent Financing.

A sensitivity analysis on interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and for the year ended December 31, 2025, has been performed to assess the effect of a hypothetical change of 12.5 basis points on the blended interest rate. The following table shows the impact of the hypothetical change in interest expense for the borrowings under the Permanent Financing:

 

(In millions)  For the six months ended
June 30, 2026
   For the year ended
December 31, 2025
 
Increase of 0.125%  $3   $6 
Decrease of 0.125%  $(3)  $(6)

 

(5bb)Represents estimated income tax impact of $30.9 million and $62.6 million related to the financing adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. Tax-related adjustments are based upon an estimated blended statutory income tax rate of 24.6%. The estimated blended statutory tax rate used for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information will likely vary from the actual effective tax rates in periods as of and subsequent to the completion of the mergers depending on post-Transaction activities, including legal entity restructuring and integration with parent which can affect future US inclusions and the combined company’s ability to claim foreign tax credits, repatriation decisions, deductibility of transaction-related costs, changes in recognition and measurement of Kenvue’s uncertain tax positions and realizability of deferred tax assets, geographical mix of earnings, among other things.
