Exhibit 99.3


UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PERSPECTA INC.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Perspecta include the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2018, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the twelve months then ended, in each case, after giving effect to the Spin-Off and Mergers as described below. Unless otherwise noted, defined terms used shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Information Statement attached as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 3 to Perspecta’s Registration Statement on Form 10, filed on April 30, 2018.
USPS reports its results based on a fiscal year basis that ends March 31, and all references to the twelve month pro forma condensed combined statement of operations include the results of operations of USPS for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018. The financial data for "Vencore" includes the combined results of Vencore Holding Corp. and KGS Holding Corp. Vencore reports its results based on a fiscal year basis that ends December 31. The reported results of operations of Vencore for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, was derived by subtracting the unaudited combined statement of operations data for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from the audited combined statement of operations data for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, and adding the unaudited combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the historical combined and condensed balance sheet of USPS as of March 31, 2018, and the historical combined balance sheet of Vencore as of March 31, 2018, giving effect to the Spin-Off, Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as if they had been consummated on April 1, 2017.
The historical combined financial statements of USPS have been “carved-out” from the combined and consolidated financial statements of DXC, and reflect assumptions and allocations made by DXC related to purchase price allocation adjustments associated with the strategic combination of CSC and HPES on April 1, 2017. These adjustments are reflected in the historical balance sheet and results of operations for USPS as of and for the year ended March 31, 2018.
USPS’s historical combined financial statements include DXC assets and liabilities that were specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to USPS, including subsidiaries and affiliates in which DXC had a controlling financial interest or was the primary beneficiary. USPS’s historical combined financial statements include all revenues and costs directly attributable to USPS and an allocation of expenses related to certain DXC corporate functions. The results of operations in the USPS historical combined financial statements do not necessarily include all expenses that would have been incurred by USPS had it been a separate, stand-alone entity. Actual costs that may have been incurred if USPS had been a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as IT and infrastructure. Consequently, USPS’s historical combined financial statements do not necessarily reflect what USPS’s financial condition and results of operations would have been had USPS operated as a stand-alone company during the periods or as of the dates presented.
The pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The historical financial information has been adjusted in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the Spin-Off and the Mergers, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results of operations of Perspecta.
The pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with USPS considered the accounting acquirer of Vencore. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill.
The adjustments included in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based upon currently available information and assumptions that management of USPS believes to be reasonable. These adjustments and related assumptions are described in the accompanying notes presented on the following pages.
The pro forma condensed combined financial statements are for informational purposes only and are not intended to represent or to be indicative of the actual results of operations or financial position that the combined company would have reported had the Spin-Off and the Mergers been completed as of the dates set forth in the pro forma

condensed combined financial statements, and should not be taken as being indicative of the combined company’s future consolidated results of operations or financial position. The actual results may differ significantly from those reflected in the pro forma financial statements for a number of reasons, including differences between the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial statements and actual amounts.

Note 1: Accounting Policies
Acquisition accounting rules require evaluation of certain assumptions and estimates, as well as determination of financial statement classifications that are completed during the measurement period, as defined in current accounting standards in accordance with GAAP. For the purposes of preparing the pro forma financial statements, USPS management has conducted an analysis of the adjustments required to conform Vencore’s historical financial statements to reflect the current USPS accounting policies. At the time of preparing the pro forma financial statements, other than the pension accounting adjustment (further discussed below) and financial statement reclassifications made herein, management is not aware of any other material policy differences or necessary financial statement reclassifications.
As a result of the preliminary analysis, USPS identified the need to conform the accounting policy of Vencore related to pension accounting. USPS recognizes changes in actuarial gains and losses and the changes in fair value of plan assets in earnings at the time of plan re-measurement, typically annually at the end of the fourth quarter of each year, as a component of net periodic benefit expense whereas Vencore amortizes unrecognized actuarial gains and losses over the average remaining service life or, in the case of frozen plans, life expectancy of participants as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. In some cases, Vencore amortizes actuarial gains and losses using the corridor approach. See Note 6 for additional information on how this accounting policy difference has been reflected in the pro forma statement of operations.

Note 2: Purchase Price Allocation
The transaction between USPS and Vencore is a merger with USPS representing the accounting acquirer. Purchase consideration transferred in a business combination is typically measured by reference to the fair value of equity issued or other assets transferred by the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the fair value of the purchase consideration transferred was measured based on the fair value of 14.03% of shares of the combined business, $400 million cash transferred by USPS to the owners of Vencore, The SI Organization Holdings LLC and KGS Holding LLC. Additionally, the approximately $1 billion of cash to be paid to extinguish certain existing Vencore indebtedness was included in the consideration transferred. The consideration transferred was utilized in the preliminary purchase price allocation and calculation of goodwill for inclusion in the pro forma financial statements.
The pro forma balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect the allocation of the preliminary estimated purchase price to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the excess recorded as goodwill. The final purchase price allocation may be different than that reflected in the pro forma preliminary purchase price allocation presented herein, and these differences may be material. The purchase price allocation in these pro forma financial statements is based upon a purchase price of approximately $2 billion. This amount was derived in accordance with the Merger Agreement, as described further below.
The following table represents the preliminary estimate of the purchase price paid in the Mergers, excluding an estimate for any true-up adjustments pursuant to the Merger Agreement (in millions):

(i)
The identifiable intangible asset fair value estimates are based on a preliminary valuation and may change. The identifiable intangible assets associated with the Mergers consist of program assets and developed technology with an estimated fair value of $1.2 billion. The acquired program assets represent existing programs and contracts of the acquirees (Vencore Holding Corp. and KGS Holding Corp) including various agencies of the U.S. Government. The programs generate future cash flows as the acquirees perform on the contracted programs and win future recompetes under the same program vehicles. The recompete win assumption was accounted for based on a probability of renewal factor. The final valuation may be materially different and may result in the identification of additional intangible assets as more detailed information becomes available.
(ii)
Includes the elimination of approximately $10 million of liability classified class B/B-1 membership interests that were settled as part of the merger consideration transferred. Also includes the repayment of the current portion of certain Vencore indebtedness existing as of March 31, 2018. See Note 3 for further details about the financing adjustments.
(iii)
This balance includes the deferred tax liability resulting from the fair value adjustments for the identifiable intangible assets. This estimate of deferred tax liability was determined based on the book and tax basis differences attributable to the identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated statutory tax rates during the period of approximately 34%. The tax rate was based upon the jurisdictions in which the combined company expects to operate. The goodwill recognized in the Mergers is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The final deferred tax liability may be materially different as more detailed information will become available after the consummation of the Mergers.
(iv)
Other liabilities includes an adjustment to eliminate $8 million of deferred rent on Vencore’s balance sheet that is not recognized for purchase accounting.
For all other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as noted above, book value is assumed to approximate the preliminary fair value. The final valuation may be determined to be materially different as more detailed information becomes available. Any change in the above assumptions would result in a corresponding change in goodwill.
See Note 5 for additional information on how the adjustments described above have been reflected in the pro forma balance sheet.

Note 3: Financing Adjustments
USPS obtained total financing of $2,550 million under "New Credit Facilities", which was comprised of 1) new senior secured term loan credit facilities of $2,500 million, net of $34 million of debt issuance costs (the “New Term Facility”), and 2) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $600 million, with $50 million drawn, net of $9 million of debt issuance costs (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). Additionally, USPS repaid certain outstanding indebtedness of Vencore with combined balances of approximately $972 million as of March 31, 2018, funded from a portion of the proceeds of the New Credit Facilities. The New Credit Facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.625% to 2.250% with maturity dates between three and seven years.
Following the Internal Reorganization, a subsidiary of Perspecta retained approximately $66 million principal of EDS Notes that were not exchanged for DXC Notes pursuant to DXC’s offer to exchange any and all of the outstanding EDS Notes for newly issued DXC Notes (the “EDS Exchange Offer”), which was made pursuant to the terms and

conditions set forth in DXC’s prospectus, dated as of January 8, 2018. In connection with the Separation and Distribution Agreement and Merger Agreement, the agreed-upon Perspecta payment was reduced by the amount of the EDS Notes assumed.

(i)
Approximately $50 million of the $600 million New Revolving Credit Facility was drawn upon at the closing of the Mergers, and $9 million of estimated debt issuance costs related to the New Revolving Credit facility were capitalized in Other Assets, which represents the approximate amount of costs that market participants would incur to obtain similar financing.
(ii)
A portion of the New Term Facility requires quarterly principal repayments totaling $87 million annually; accordingly, this amount has been presented as current in the pro forma balance sheet, net of $5 million of debt issuance costs. The long-term portion of the New Term Facility is presented net of $29 million of debt issuance costs.
(iii)
Represents EDS Notes held by Enterprise Services LLC, a subsidiary of Perspecta following the Internal Reorganization and $13 million of unamortized premiums resulting from the application of fair value accounting associated with the merger of HPES and CSC.
(iv)
USPS repaid certain historical Vencore outstanding indebtedness of approximately $972 million, inclusive of $23 million of current debt and $3 million of accrued interest. The $972 million balance sheet removal is net of approximately $21 million of capitalized finance costs, and therefore total cash paid to extinguish debt principal was $990 million. Fees incurred to repay the indebtedness were approximately $1 million, and are included as additional consideration transferred in the purchase price.
See Note 5 and Note 6 for additional information on how the adjustments described above have been reflected in the pro forma financial statements.
On May 31, 2018, USPS obtained new interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $1.4 billion, which swap floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt at an average all-in fixed rate of 2.624%.

Additionally, on May 31, 2018, an amended purchase agreement established a federal government obligor receivables purchase facility (the “MARPA Facility”) that provides for up to $450 million in funding based on the availability of eligible receivables and the satisfaction of certain conditions. The MARPA facility is an off-balance sheet facility. These pro forma statements include the sale of eligible receivables and $5 million of interest expense associated with the MARPA Facility, assuming an average outstanding balance of $136 million of sold receivables (the amount outstanding on May 31, 2018 of sold receivables).

Interest expense for fiscal year 2019 is anticipated to be higher than in fiscal year 2018 as a result of the expected increases in the underlying interest rates of the Credit Facilities and a higher average outstanding balance of MARPA Facility sold receivables.

(i)
Of the total net assets acquired, approximately $1.2 billion, is estimated to be the preliminary fair value of identified intangible assets, which consist of program assets and developed technology with preliminary estimated useful lives of 14 and 5 years, respectively. See Note 2 for additional information.
The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using the “income approach”, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of the identifiable intangible asset valuation, from the perspective of a market participant, include the estimated future after-tax cash flows that will be received for the intangible asset, the appropriate discount rate selected in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream. In addition, the discount rate selected is a significant assumption utilized to value the intangible asset, which is based on market participant assumptions for rates of return for similar assets and reflects the risks inherent in the cash flow stream based on the nature of the asset. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
The estimated fair value for this pro forma presentation of the program assets was measured using the multi-period excess earnings method. The principle behind the multi-period excess earnings method is that the value of an intangible is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the subject intangible asset, after taking charges for the use of other assets employed by the business. Significant assumptions required for this method are revenue growth rates, probabilities of renewal for existing contracts and related relationships, contributory asset charges and an appropriate market-based discount rate.
The estimated fair values for this pro forma presentation for the developed technology was measured using the relief from royalty method. The principle behind this method is the value of an intangible is equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable to owning the asset. Significant assumptions required for this method are determining an earning measure to estimate a royalty payment stream, selecting an arm’s length royalty rate, the assets’ remaining economic life and pattern of life cycle, and an appropriate market-based discount rate.
