UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

References to “we”, “us”, “our”, “Aveanna” and the “Company” refer to Aveanna Healthcare Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and the related notes present our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021 and for the nine-month period ended October 2, 2021 as well as our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 2, 2021, after giving forma effect to (i) the acquisition by us of Comfort Care Home Health Services, LLC, Comfort Care Hospice, L.L.C., Premier Medical Housecall, LLC, (collectively, “Comfort Care”), as contemplated by that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, entered into on September 27, 2021, by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Aveanna Healthcare Senior Services LLC (the “Comfort Care Acquisition”) and (ii) our entering into a new Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “New Second Lien Term Loan”) on December 10, 2021 under which we incurred $415.0 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness to fund the Comfort Care Acquisition (the “New Second Lien Financing”).

 

We refer to the pro forma adjustments for the Comfort Care Acquisition and for the New Second Lien Financing together as the “Transactions”. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations have been derived by aggregating our historical consolidated financial statements and the historical financial statements of Comfort Care, including certain pro forma adjustments to such aggregated financial statements, to give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on December 29, 2019, which was the first day of our 2020 fiscal year. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred as of October 2, 2021.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information herein has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Transactions in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Information regarding these pro forma adjustments is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.

 

In our opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the Transactions have been included and are based upon currently available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable as of the date of filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A; however, such adjustments are subject to change. Any of the factors underlying these estimates and assumptions may change or prove to be materially different than expected. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information also does not purport to represent what our actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Transactions occurred as of the dates indicated, nor are they intended to be representative of or project our future financial condition or results of operations or financial position.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and the accompanying notes are provided for informational and illustrative purposes only and should be read in conjunction with (i) our historical audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 2, 2021 included in our prospectus dated April 28, 2021, which is deemed to be part of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-254981), (ii) our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended October 2, 2021 included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 15, 2021, (iii) the audited annual consolidated and combined financial statements of Comfort Care Home Health Services, LLC and subsidiaries and affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, and (iv) the unaudited interim consolidated and combined financial statements of Comfort Care Home Health Services, LLC and subsidiaries and affiliates as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 included in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1.
Basis of Presentation

The Comfort Care Acquisition has been accounted for within the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and using the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their acquisition date fair value. The determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (and the related determination of estimated useful lives of amortizable identifiable intangible assets) requires significant judgment and estimates. The estimates and assumptions used include the projected timing and amount of future cash flows and discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future cash flows related to the businesses acquired. Although the Company believes the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisitions are accurate, new information may be obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the date of the Comfort Care Acquisition during the twelve-month period following which could cause actual results to differ materially from the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.

Aveanna and Comfort Care incurred a total of $5.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively, of non-recurring acquisition-related costs related to the Comfort Care Acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not include the realization of any cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructuring activities which might result from the Comfort Care Acquisition. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies, except as described in “Note 2. Historical Comfort Care”, as we are not aware of any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. Further review of Comfort Care’s detailed accounting policies in the twelve-month period following the Comfort Care Acquisition may result in the identification of additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the combined company.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Transaction Accounting Adjustments

 

(a)
Reflects the total cash consideration of $346.5 million related to the Comfort Care Acquisition. The cash purchase price paid at closing to Comfort Care shareholders is subject to certain adjustments set forth in the purchase agreement based on estimated and actual working capital, cash and indebtedness of Comfort Care at closing, and unpaid seller transaction costs. The calculation of the estimated purchase consideration is based on the terms of the purchase agreement and management’s estimates as of the date of this offering. Therefore, the estimated purchase price used for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information may differ materially from the actual purchase price. Further, as $1.9 million of Comfort Care’s historical indebtedness was retired at the closing date, this adjustment also reflects the settlement of the remaining principal balance.

 

The preliminary GAAP purchase price is as follows (in thousands):

 

 

Cash consideration to shareholders

$

 304,355

Settlement of closing debt (1)

 

1,888

Settlement of seller transaction costs (2)

 

 7,580

Cash paid into escrow and reserve accounts

 

32,653

Total preliminary GAAP purchase price

$

346,476

(1)
As of September 30, 2021, Comfort Care had indebtedness of $1.5 million related to arrangements settled at close recorded within current portion of long-term obligations and $0.1 million of related accrued interest. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the removal of these amounts.
(2)
No amounts were accrued for in the historical Comfort Care results as of September 30, 2021 – refer to Note 3(h) for further information.
(b)
Reflects the settlement of current portion of long-term obligations of $2.1 million and $0.9 million of deferred

 


 

payroll taxes, less current portion as these amounts were settled prior to the Comfort Care Acquisition. Additionally, reflects the removal of $13.5 million of cash and cash equivalents as these amounts were not transferred to Aveanna upon completion of the Comfort Care Acquisition.
(c)
Reflects the adjustment to record the acquired intangible assets to their estimated acquisition-date fair values based upon a preliminary valuation. The fair value of the trade name was derived from an income approach. Significant assumptions include expected growth rates, future government payer reimbursement rates, and the weighted average cost of capital. The fair value of the licenses was derived from the cost approach. Significant assumptions include the median time to issue a license and the costs incurred to maintain a branch during that time. The pro forma adjustment is calculated as follows (in thousands):

No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions and estimates used to estimate the fair values of the licenses and tradenames will not change. For this and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

(d)
Reflects the adjustment to goodwill of $314.9 million to be recorded based on our preliminary purchase price allocation.

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase consideration over the preliminary estimated fair values of recorded tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Comfort Care Acquisition. The actual amount of goodwill to be recorded in connection with the Comfort Care Acquisition is subject to change once the valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been completed. The final valuation of such assets and liabilities is expected to be completed as soon as practicable but no later than one year after the consummation of the Comfort Care Acquisition. The table below reflects the preliminary purchase price allocation based on estimates, assumptions, valuations and other analyses (in thousands):
