UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Introduction

 

On November 18, 2024, AeroVironment, Inc. (“AeroVironment”), Archangel Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the Company’s direct wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), BlueHalo Financing Topco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BlueHalo”) and BlueHalo Holdings Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and sole member of BlueHalo (“Seller”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), which contemplated that Merger Sub would merge with and into BlueHalo, with BlueHalo continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of AeroVironment. On May 1, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), AeroVironment, Merger Sub, BlueHalo, and Seller completed the transactions outlined in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”).

 

On the Closing Date, AeroVironment drew on a term loan with an initial principal amount of $700.0 million (the “Term Loan”) and drew $225.0 million from its revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) to settle the existing indebtedness of BlueHalo and to settle transaction expenses at the closing of the Merger (collectively with the Term Loan, the “Financing Transactions”).

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the estimated effects of the Merger and the Financing Transactions as if each had occurred on April 30, 2025, for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, and as if the Merger and the Financing Transactions each occurred on May 1, 2024, the first day of AeroVironment’s fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income (loss).

 

To comply with SEC rules and regulations for companies with different fiscal year ends, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared utilizing periods that differ by less than 93 days. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using as follows:

 

·The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of April 30, 2025 combines the historical audited consolidated balance sheet of AeroVironment as of April 30, 2025 with BlueHalo’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025.

 

·The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income (loss) for the year ended April 30, 2025 combines AeroVironment’s historical audited statement of income (loss) for the year ended April 30, 2025 with BlueHalo’s historical unaudited statements of operations for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025.

 

·BlueHalo’s historical unaudited statements of operations, after reclassifications, for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 was prepared by summing BlueHalo’s unaudited statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and BlueHalo’s audited statements of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subtracting BlueHalo’s unaudited statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

 

The historical financial statements of AeroVironment and BlueHalo have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are merger transaction accounting and financing transaction adjustments which are necessary to account for the Merger and Financing Transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the accompanying notes are provided for informational and illustrative purposes only and should be read in conjunction with AeroVironment’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2025 filed with the SEC on June 25, 2025, BlueHalo’s consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 and BlueHalo’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes for the period ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 contained within the Current Report on Form 8-K/A to which this Exhibit 99.3 is attached.

 

The Merger is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with AeroVironment as the accounting acquirer in accordance with ASC Topic 805. Under this method of accounting, the estimated GAAP purchase price (as calculated in Note 3) will be allocated to BlueHalo’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the Closing date of the Merger. The process of valuing the net assets of BlueHalo, as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, is preliminary. Any differences between the estimated fair value of the consideration transferred and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill. Accordingly, allocation of the preliminary estimated merger consideration and related adjustments reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. All financial data included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless noted otherwise, and has been prepared based on U.S. GAAP and AeroVironment’s accounting policies. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the Merger and the Financing Transactions had been completed on the dates set forth above, nor is it intended to be indicative of the future results or financial position of the combined company.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses”.

 

AeroVironment’s and BlueHalo’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in U.S. dollars. As discussed in Note 2, certain reclassifications were made to align AeroVironment’s and BlueHalo’s financial statements presentation. AeroVironment is currently in the process of evaluating BlueHalo’s accounting policies. As a result of that review, additional differences could be identified among the accounting policies of the companies. Based upon the review prepared to date, AeroVironment has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform BlueHalo’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by AeroVironment.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, with AeroVironment as the accounting acquirer of BlueHalo using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and based on the historical financial statements of AeroVironment and BlueHalo. Under ASC Topic 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their assumed acquisition date fair value. The excess of the preliminary estimated merger consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. The preliminary estimated merger consideration is based upon the estimated shares of AeroVironment to be issued multiplied by AeroVironment’s share price and cash payments by AeroVironment at the Closing Date. Transaction costs associated with the business combinations are expensed as incurred.

 

The allocation of the preliminary estimated merger consideration depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, all of which are preliminary. The allocation of the preliminary estimated merger consideration has been made for the purpose of developing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The final determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed relating to the Merger could differ materially from the preliminary. The final valuation will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets existing at the acquisition date.

 

The pro forma adjustments represent management’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that AeroVironment believes are reasonable under the circumstances. AeroVironment is not aware of any material transactions between AeroVironment and BlueHalo nor amongst BlueHalo during the periods presented that have not already been eliminated in consolidation of BlueHalo. Accordingly, adjustments to eliminate transactions between AeroVironment and BlueHalo have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

Note 2 - Reclassification Adjustments

 

During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, AeroVironment management performed a preliminary analysis of BlueHalo’s financial information to identify differences in financial statement presentation as compared to the presentation of AeroVironment. With the information currently available, AeroVironment has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform BlueHalo’s financial statements to those used by AeroVironment. However, certain reclassification adjustments have been made to conform BlueHalo’s historical financial statement presentation to AeroVironment’s financial statement presentation and accounting policies. Following the Closing Date, the combined company will finalize the review of accounting policies and reclassifications, which could be materially different from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein.

Note 3 – Preliminary Merger Consideration Allocation

 

Merger consideration

 

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated merger consideration (in thousands):

 

   Amount 
Preliminary merger consideration transferred (i)  $2,640,365 
Settlement of BlueHalo’s transaction expenses by AeroVironment   25,214 
Settlement of BlueHalo’s indebtedness as of the Closing date   863,207 
Preliminary estimated merger consideration  $3,528,786 

 

i)The fair value of AeroVironment’s common stock issued is based on 17,425,849 shares issued as consideration and the closing share price of $151.52 on April 30, 2025. The amount of shares issued as consideration is based upon the terms of the Merger Agreement, which provide for an aggregate merger consideration of 18,548,698 shares less the Closing Share Leakage Amount of 24,716 shares and the Excess Closing Indebtedness Share Amount of 1,098,133 shares.

 

Preliminary merger consideration allocation

 

The assumed accounting for the Merger, including the estimated preliminary merger consideration, is based on provisional amounts, and the associated purchase accounting is not final. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities was based upon the preliminary estimate of fair values. For the preliminary estimate of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger, AeroVironment used publicly available benchmarking information as well as a variety of other assumptions, including market participant assumptions. AeroVironment is expected to use widely accepted income-based, market-based, and cost-based valuation approaches upon finalization of purchase accounting for the Merger. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that AeroVironment believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The purchase price adjustments relating to the Merger are preliminary and subject to change, as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.

 

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated merger consideration allocation, as if the Merger had been completed on April 30, 2025 (in thousands):

 

   Amount 
Assets:     
Cash and cash equivalents  $55,247 
Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts   65,478 
Unbilled receivables and retentions   124,533 
Inventories, net (i)   110,000 
Income taxes receivable   3,034 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets   18,709 
Long-term investments   390 
Property and equipment, net   82,744 
Operating lease right-of-use assets   75,183 
Deferred income taxes (iii)   - 
Intangibles, net (ii)   1,070,000 
Goodwill   2,301,321 
Other assets   1,812 
Liabilities:     
Accounts payable   59,635 
Wages and related accruals   45,127 
Customer advances   31,071 
Current portion of long-term debt   - 
Current operating lease liabilities   11,808 
Income taxes payable   212 
Other current liabilities   3,582 
Long-term debt, net of current portion   - 
Non-current operating lease liabilities   76,548 
Other non-current liabilities   924 
Liability for uncertain tax positions   - 
Deferred income taxes (iii)   150,758 
Preliminary estimated merger consideration  $3,528,786 

 

 

 

 

i)The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to record the acquired inventories at a preliminary fair value of approximately $110.0 million, an increase of $31.2 million from the carrying value. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income (loss) for the year ended April 30, 2025 has been adjusted to recognize additional cost of goods sold related to the increased basis. The additional costs are not anticipated to affect the consolidated statement of income (loss) beyond twelve months after the acquisition date.

 

ii)Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information consists of the following (in thousands):

 

   Preliminary Fair
Value
   Estimated Useful Life
(Years)
 
Preliminary fair value of intangible assets acquired:          
Backlog  $50,000    1 
Customer relationships   620,000    7 
Developed technology   400,000    4-10 
Intangible assets acquired  $1,070,000      

 

A 10% change in the valuation of intangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the amortization expense of approximately $19.4 million for the year ended April 30, 2025. Pro forma amortization is preliminary and based on the use of straight-line amortization. The amount of amortization following the Merger may differ significantly between periods based upon the final value assigned and amortization methodology used for each identifiable intangible asset.

 

The fair value assigned to intangible assets has been estimated based on third-party preliminary valuation studies utilizing income-based methodologies and corroborated with benchmarks of similar transactions in the industry.

 

iii)Deferred tax assets and liabilities were derived based on incremental differences in the book and tax basis created from the preliminary purchase allocation. In addition, as a result of the Merger, AeroVironment expects to realize the benefit of certain deferred tax assets where BlueHalo’s previously recorded a valuation allowance, therefore the valuation allowance is expected to be reduced in purchase accounting.

 

Note 4 – Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

 

A)Adjustments included in the Merger Transaction Accounting Adjustments column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of April 30, 2025 are as follows:

 

(a) Reflects adjustment to cash and cash equivalents (in thousands):

 

   Amount 
Estimated Merger transaction costs (i)  $(21,903)
Settlement of BlueHalo’s indebtedness, including accrued interest   (863,207)
Settlement of BlueHalo's transaction expenses   (25,214)
Net pro forma merger transaction accounting adjustment  $(910,324)

 

i)These non-recurring costs consist of legal advisory, financial advisory, accounting and consulting costs of AeroVironment related to the Merger.

 

(b) Reflects the preliminary purchase accounting adjustment for inventories based on the acquisition method of accounting (in thousands).

 

   Amount 
Preliminary fair value of acquired inventories  $110,000 
Less: BlueHalo’s historical net book value of inventories   (78,816)
Net pro forma merger transaction accounting adjustment  $31,184 

 

(c) Reflects the preliminary purchase accounting adjustment for estimated intangibles based on the acquisition method of accounting. Refer to Note 3 above for additional information on the acquired intangible assets expected to be recognized (in thousands).

 

   Amount 
Preliminary fair value of acquired intangibles  $1,070,000 
Less: BlueHalo’s historical net book value of intangible assets   (515,106)
Net pro forma merger transaction accounting adjustment  $554,894 

 

(d) Reflects the adjustment to write-off BlueHalo’s historical capitalized software of $39.7 million from property and equipment, net as the future cash flows associated with these assets are captured within the fair value of acquired intangibles.

 

(e) Reflects the adjustment to write-off BlueHalo’s historical patent costs of $1.4 million from other assets as the future cash flows associated with these assets are captured within the fair value of acquired intangibles.

 

 

 

(f) Reflects the elimination of historical goodwill and excess of the estimated GAAP purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands).

 

   Amount 
Goodwill per purchase price allocation (Note 4)  $2,301,321 
Less: BlueHalo’s historical goodwill   (874,306)
Net pro forma merger transaction accounting adjustment  $1,427,015 

 

(g) Represents the adjustment to deferred tax liability of $127.0 million associated with the incremental differences in the book and tax basis created from the preliminary purchase allocation, primarily resulting from the preliminary fair value of intangible assets. Further, represents a reclassification of AeroVironment’s historical deferred tax asset of $61.5 million to net against the deferred tax liability, above. These adjustments were based on the applicable statutory tax rate with the respective estimated purchase price allocation. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-merger activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of income and changes in tax law. Because the tax rates used for the pro forma financial information are estimated, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods after completion of the Merger. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

 

(h) Reflects the net reduction in accounts payable related to AeroVironment’s merger transaction expenses of $3.0 million payable as of April 30, 2025.

Note 5 – Pro Forma Adjustments to the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Income (Loss)

 

A)Adjustments included in the Merger Transaction Accounting Adjustments column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income (loss) for the year ended April 30, 2025 are as follows:

 

(a) Reflects the adjustments to cost of product sales including the amortization of the estimated fair value of intangibles and the amortization of the estimated inventory fair value adjustment (in thousands).

 

   For the Year Ended April 30,
2025

Less: BlueHalo’s historical amortization of intangible assets   (8,328)
Amortization of inventory fair value adjustment   31,184 
Net pro forma merger transaction accounting adjustment  $48,861 

 

(b) Reflects the adjustments to cost of contract services sold including the amortization of the estimated fair value of intangibles (in thousands).

 

   For the Year Ended April 30,
2025
 
Amortization of intangible assets  $29,245 
Less: BlueHalo’s historical amortization of intangible assets   (9,366)
Net pro forma merger transaction accounting adjustment  $19,879 

 

(c) Reflects the adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) including the amortization of the estimated fair value of intangibles and the estimated transaction costs expensed (in thousands).

Less: BlueHalo’s historical amortization of intangible assets   (35,830)
Less: BlueHalo’s historical depreciation of capitalized software assets   (11,189)
Estimated AeroVironment transaction expenses(i)   18,903 
Net pro forma merger transaction accounting adjustment  $110,455 

 

i)Represents additional transaction costs to be incurred by AeroVironment after April 30, 2025. These costs will not affect AeroVironment’s consolidated statement of income (loss) beyond twelve months after the acquisition date

 

 

 

 

(d) Reflects the removal of historical interest expense associated with BlueHalo’s existing indebtedness which was extinguished at the Closing date of the Merger (in thousands):

 

   For the Year Ended April 30,
2025
 
BlueHalo’s historical interest expense, net of interest income  $74,159 

 

(e) To record the income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments (in thousands):

 

   For the Year Ended April 30,
2025
 
Net pro forma merger transaction accounting adjustments to income (loss) before income taxes  $(105,036)
Less: BlueHalo’s historical interest expense (i)   (74,159)
Less: AeroVironment transaction expenses estimated to not be deductible for tax purposes (ii)   4,085 
Historical and pro forma amounts to be tax affected   (175,110)
Estimated statutory income tax rate (iii)   24%
Net pro forma merger transaction accounting adjustment  $(42,026)

 

i)BlueHalo historically was unable to recognize a tax benefit when recognizing interest expense due to a limitation under Section 163(j) and associated valuation allowance against its Section 163(j) carryover tax attribute, as it was determined the realizability of such attribute was not at more-likely-than-not. Consequently, no adjustment has been made to tax effect the reversal of historical interest expense. AeroVironment is expected to recognize a tax benefit when recognizing interest expense as the realizability is deemed to be at more-likely-than-not, and therefore the prospective interest expense has been tax effected.

 

ii)Reflects $14.8 million of AeroVironment transaction expenses estimated to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

iii)Represents an estimated statutory income tax rate in effect of 24% for the year ended April 30, 2025. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-merger activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of income and changes in tax law. Because the tax rates used for the pro forma financial information are estimated, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods after completion of the Merger. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

 

(f) The pro forma basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are as follows (in thousands):

 

   For the Year Ended April 30,
2025
 
Pro forma basic and dilutive weighted average shares:     
Historical weighted average AeroVironment common stock shares outstanding   28,018,656 
Issuance of shares to BlueHalo   17,425,849 
Pro forma weighted average shares – basic and dilutive   45,444,505 

 

Potentially dilutive shares not included in the computation of diluted weighted-average common shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive were 154,832 for the year ended April 30, 2025.

 

B)Adjustments included in the Financing Transactions Adjustment column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income (loss) for the year ended April 30, 2025 are as follows:

 

(a) Reflects the interest income (expense), net related to the financing and amortization of issuance costs related to the Financing Transactions (in thousands):

 

   For the Year Ended April 30,
2025
 
Interest expense related to the Financing Transactions (i)  $(63,148)
Amortization of debt issuance costs related to AeroVironment’s financing   (3,593)
Net pro forma financing transaction adjustment:  $(66,741)

 

i)Reflects an estimated interest rate of 6.9%. A 0.125% variance in the weighted–average variable interest rates would result in a $1.1 million change in income before income taxes annually.

 

(b) To record the income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments utilizing an estimated statutory income tax rate in effect of 24% for the year ended April 30, 2025. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-merger activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of income and changes in tax law. Because the tax rates used for the pro forma financial information are estimated, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods after completion of the Merger. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.
