UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Hydro One Limited (“Hydro One” or the “Corporation”), Olympus Holding Corp., Olympus Corp. and Avista Corporation (“Avista”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger dated as of July 19, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Hydro One will indirectly acquire Avista (the “Merger”) for US$53 (approximately C$68 at the exchange rate of C$1.2884 = US$1.00 on March 31, 2018) per Avista common share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately US$5,476 million (approximately C$7,056 million at the exchange rate of C$1.2884 = US$1.00 on March 31, 2018), comprised of an equity purchase of approximately US$3,480 million (approximately C$4,484 million at the exchange rate of C$1.2884 = US$1.00 on March 31, 2018) and the assumption of approximately US$1,996 million of Avista’s outstanding debt (approximately C$2,572 million at the exchange rate of C$1.2884 = US$1.00 on March 31, 2018).
Since the acquisition is to be paid in U.S. dollars, the actual amount paid, when measured in Canadian dollars may vary with a change to the exchange rate. Hydro One has entered into a forward currency contract to partially mitigate the foreign exchange fluctuation risk.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the proposed acquisition by Hydro One of Avista under the acquisition method of accounting. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Merger as if it had closed on March 31, 2018. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the three months ended March 31, 2018 give effect to the Merger as if it had closed on January 1, 2017.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on Avista’s historical unaudited consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and Hydro One’s historical unaudited consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and present the effects of the Merger on the combined historical financial statements of Hydro One and Avista. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and the historical financial statements of Hydro One and Avista.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements (referred to herein as the pro forma financial information) are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not include, among other things, estimated cost synergies, adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities, further acquisitions or disposals not yet known or probable, or impacts of Merger-related change in control provisions that are currently not factually supportable and/or probable of occurring. The pro forma financial information has been prepared based upon available information and certain assumptions that Hydro One believes are reasonable in the circumstances, as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, the pro forma financial information presented, including allocation of the estimated purchase price, is based on preliminary estimates of fair values of assets to be acquired and liabilities assumed. The actual amounts of acquired assets and assumed liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements upon the closing of the Merger will depend on a number of factors, including the impact of additional information available, foreign exchange rates and the amount of net assets of Avista on the closing date of the Merger. Therefore, the actual purchase adjustments will differ from those used to prepare the pro forma financial information, and the differences may be material. For example, the final purchase price allocation is dependent on, among other things, the finalization of asset and liability valuations. This final valuation will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Avista that exist as of the closing date of the Merger. Any final adjustments may change the allocation of purchase price, which could affect the fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities, and may result in a change to goodwill, depreciation and amortization expenses and earnings per share.
The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Hydro One’s actual financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Merger been completed on the date indicated, nor does it purport to project Hydro One’s future financial position or results of operations for any future periods or as of any future date. Accordingly, the combined business, assets, results of operations and financial condition may differ significantly from those indicated.

1. | DESCRIPTION OF THE ACQUISITION |
Hydro One, Olympus Holding Corp., Olympus Corp. and Avista entered into an agreement and plan of merger dated as of July 19, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Hydro One will indirectly acquire Avista (the “Merger”) for US$53 (approximately C$68 at the exchange rate of C$1.2884 = US$1.00 on March 31, 2018) per Avista common share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately US$5,476 million (approximately C$7,056 million at the exchange rate of C$1.2884 = US$1.00 on March 31, 2018), comprised of an equity purchase of approximately US$3,480 million (approximately C$4,484 million at the exchange rate of C$1.2884 = US$1.00 on March 31, 2018) and the assumption of approximately US$1,996 million of Avista’s outstanding debt (approximately C$2,572 million at the exchange rate of C$1.2884 = US$1.00 on March 31, 2018).
The accompanying pro forma financial information assumes that at closing, the Merger will be financed through the net proceeds from a C$1.54 billion common share equity issuance as further described below, with the balance funded through long-term debt as further described below.
The common share equity is assumed to be issued through the conversion of the 4% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (“Debentures”) represented by instalment receipts that were issued by the Corporation on August 9, 2017 and that are convertible into common shares of Hydro One at a conversion price of C$21.40 per common share. Hydro One also proposes to issue long term debt in the amount of US$2.6 billion (approximately C$3.35 billion) maturing over 5, 10 and 30 years respectively.
The accompanying pro forma financial information assumes that the Debentures are issued and immediately converted in full into Hydro One common shares at the assumed closing date of the Merger. Therefore, the accompanying pro forma financial information does not recognize interest costs associated with the Debentures. Hydro One anticipates that the closing of the Merger will occur in the second half of 2018. As a result, the Company has included the cost of financing the Debentures as a pro-forma adjustment. Due to many factors, including the timing of regulatory approvals, the estimated closing period is subject to change which may change the amount of interest expense incurred on the Debentures and the related income tax recovery. Interest costs associated with the Debentures are expected to be funded through operating cash flows.
2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying pro forma financial information gives effect to the proposed acquisition by Hydro One of Avista. The accompanying pro forma financial information has been prepared by management of Hydro One and is derived from the unaudited and audited consolidated financial statements of Hydro One as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively, and the unaudited and audited consolidated financial statements of Avista as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively.
The accompanying pro forma financial information uses accounting policies that are consistent with those disclosed in Hydro One’s and Avista’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2017 and unaudited consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations reflect the Merger as if it had closed on March 31, 2018 and January 1, 2017, respectively. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the results that would have been achieved if the transactions reflected therein had been completed on the dates indicated or the results which may be obtained in the future. For instance, the actual purchase price allocation will reflect the fair values, at the purchase date, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon Hydro One’s evaluation of such assets and liabilities following the closing of the Merger and, accordingly, the final purchase price allocation may differ materially from the preliminary allocation reflected herein.
The accompanying pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the description of the Merger and the proposed financing thereof contained in documents filed by Hydro One with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada; the most recent audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of Avista, including the notes thereto; and the most recent audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hydro One, including the notes thereto, all of which have been filed by Hydro One with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada.
7
Certain amounts in the historical financial statements of Avista have been reclassified in the unaudited pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations to reflect the presentation classifications in Hydro One’s consolidated financial statements. In addition the historical financial statements of Avista have been translated from U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars to conform to the presentation currency of Hydro One.
Management believes the underlying assumptions used for the preparation of the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant financial effect directly attributable to the Merger. The pro forma adjustments used to prepare the pro forma financial information are tentative and are based on currently available financial information and certain estimates and assumptions. The actual adjustments to the consolidated financial statements will depend on a number of factors. Therefore, it is expected that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments used to prepare the pro forma financial information, and the differences may be material.
The pro forma financial information presents the combined effect on the historical statements and provides the following resulting information:
Historical Information of Hydro One and Avista | Historical Dates and Giving Effect | Resulting Information | ||
Unaudited consolidated balance sheet | As of March 31, 2018 | Unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet, referred to as the unaudited pro forma balance sheet | ||

Fair value adjustments to net assets acquired at March 31, 2018 have been applied to the assumed Merger date of January 1, 2017 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma statements of operations (see note 3) |
Amounts in the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are stated in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. The accompanying pro forma financial information may not be indicative of the results that would have been achieved if the transactions reflected herein had been completed on the dates indicated or the results which may be obtained in the future.
3. | PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS |
A. | Pro forma Purchase Price and Purchase Price Allocation |
At the date of preparation of this pro forma financial information, certain pro forma adjustments have been made as identified herein; however, the fair values of Avista’s identifiable assets and liabilities to be assumed and the full impact of applying acquisition accounting have not been fully determined. After reflecting the pro forma adjustments made herein, the excess of the purchase price consideration over the adjusted book values of Avista’s identifiable net assets has been presented as goodwill. The Merger consideration in the unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the agreed net purchase price of US $53 per share (approximately C$68 using the exchange rate of C$1.2884 = US$1.00 on March 31, 2018). Since the acquisition is to be paid in U.S. dollars, the actual amount paid, when measured in Canadian dollars will vary. The assumed financing structure and partial mitigation of the foreign exchange fluctuation risk is outlined below.
Avista is a public utility subject to regulation by state utility commissions. The retail electric and natural gas operations are subject to the jurisdiction of various regulatory bodies, including the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for licensing of hydroelectric generation resources, and for electric transmission services and wholesale sales. The revenues and earnings approved by the utility commissions are based on regulated rates of return that are applied to historic values of the regulated assets. Therefore, no fair value adjustments are expected to be made to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with respect to the regulated entities of Avista because all economic benefits and obligations associated with regulated assets beyond regulated thresholds accrue to Avista’s customers.

This estimated purchase price is based on Avista’s outstanding shares at the purchase price of US$53 per share converted at a foreign exchange rate of C$1.2884 = US$1.00 on March 31, 2018. The purchase price used for the purposes of calculating pro forma adjustments is based on exchange rates as described in Note 5 below and will differ from this amount when exchange rates change. Hydro One entered into a forward currency contract in October, 2017 to partially mitigate the foreign exchange fluctuation risk of the purchase price that is denominated in U.S. dollars.
Goodwill from the acquistion of Avista of C$2,292 is calculated as the difference between the net purchase price of C$4,484 million and the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired of C$2,192 million.
B. | Assumed financing for the Merger contemplates the issuance, through the exercise of conversion rights under the Debentures, of approximately 72 million common shares of Hydro One at C$21.40 per share for gross proceeds of approximately C$1.54 billion, which includes a base offering of approximately 65 million common shares for proceeds of C$1.4 billion plus the over-allotment of approximately 7 million common shares that was exercised for proceeds of C$0.14 billion. Underwriting costs are 3.5% of gross proceeds in the aggregate which is approximately C$54 million and will result in a corresponding deferred tax asset of approximately C$14 million based on Hydro One’s Canadian statutory income tax rate of 26.5%. |
9
Hydro One completed the sale of the Debentures on August 9, 2017 on an instalment basis. The initial instalment was paid with gross proceeds of C$513 million and net proceeds of C$486 million after payment of half the aggregate underwriter fees of C$27 million. The convertible debentures balance of C$488 million on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Hydro One as at March 31, 2018 is net of the unamortized debt issuance costs of C$25 million.
Upon conversion of the Debentures from the initial instalment and the issuance of all the common shares of approximately C$1.54 billion, as if the Merger had closed on March 31, 2018, the remaining underwriting fees, for an additional C$27 million and a make-whole interest payment of C$23 million would be paid in cash. The terms of the make-whole payment does not extend beyond the anniversary date of August 9, 2018 and therefore would not be incurred as an expense if the transaction closed after August 9, 2018.
Since the cash proceeds from the initial instalment were received on August 9, 2017, the pro forma adjustment to cash only reflects the incremental cash proceeds on March 31, 2018 of C$977 million, which is also net of the remaining underwriting fees as well as the make-whole payment. The pro forma adjustment to common shares of approximately $1.502 billion is net of the after tax underwriting fees of approximately $38 million and is reflected by the pro forma adjustment as incremental cash proceeds of C$977 million, the first instalment payment of $488 million, the recognition of a deferred tax asset of $20 million and a resulting impact to retained earnings of $17 million.
The Debentures contained a beneficial conversion feature at the time of issuance due to the conversion feature being in the money on the commitment date. The conversion feature is contingent on triggering of the final instalment payment at which time it becomes exercisable. Pro forma adjustment in the amount of C$92 million has been included to reflect the beneficial conversion feature, assuming the date for payment of the final instalment was the assumed Merger date of March 31, 2018.
Net interest costs since August 9, 2017 of C$36 million (and related tax effects of C$10 million) associated with the Debentures have already been paid and reflected in the historical financial results of Hydro One. Pro forma adjustments have been included with the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to remove the historical after tax interest costs incurred that reflect the assumed conversion of the Debentures into Hydro One common shares as if the Merger had closed on January 1, 2017.
C. | Financing for the Merger includes the assumed issuance of long term debt maturing over 5, 10 and 30 years respectively for gross proceeds of approximately C$3.35B. Debt issuance costs in the aggregate of approximately C$24 million have been recognized as a direct deduction to the long term debt. The maturity dates and other terms of the debt are current estimates only and will not be known until the debt is issued and could vary significantly from what is proposed based on many factors including market conditions. |
While assumed financing for the Merger is comprised of the Debentures and long term debt as previously described, the assumed Merger on March 31, 2018 is estimated to require short-term borrowing via issuance of commercial paper of approximately C$400 million, given the cash and cash equivalents balance on this date. This additional commercial paper issuance is expected to be termed-out subsequently, which is not reflected as an adjustment in the pro forma financial information.
D. | Transaction costs not yet incurred are estimated at approximately C$120 million and are composed of estimated investment banking, advisory, accounting and legal fees, bridge financing costs, an Avista foundation donation that is considered to be directly related to the acquisition, and real estate transfer taxes. Change in control payments to employees are approximately C$50 million and represent estimated change in control liabilities as a result of the Merger. These transaction related costs and the change in control payments in aggregate of approximately C$170 million (after tax of C$160 million) and are assumed to be paid in cash based on estimates by Hydro One management. These costs have been included as a pro forma adjustment to cash and retained earnings on the unaudited pro forma balance sheet. They are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma statement of earnings on the basis that these expenses are directly attributable to the Merger of Avista and are non-recurring in nature. |
10
Pro forma adjustments to the statement of earnings include removal of the non-recurring historical transaction costs from operation, maintenance and administration of C$39 million and C$3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.
E. | Elimination of Avista’s historical outstanding common shares, retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2018. |
F. | Interest expense on the Company’s proposed issuance of long-term debt described in Note 3(C) above of C$143 million and C$35 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. |
Pro forma adjustments to finance charges includes removal of the historical net interest costs on the Debentures as described in Note 3(B) of C$22 million and C$14 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.
In October, 2017, Hydro One also entered into a deal-contingent foreign exchange forward contract to convert C$1.4 billion to U.S. dollars at an agreed upon Canadian dollar forward rate per 1.00 U.S. dollars to economically mitigate a portion of the foreign exchange fluctuation risk on the purchase price that is denominated in U.S. dollars. Pro forma adjustments to finance charges includes removal of the associated loss from this hedging contract of C$3 million and the gain of C$27 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.
G. | Income taxes applicable to the pro forma adjustments for items with tax effect in the Canadian entities are calculated at the average tax rate of 26.50%. Income taxes applicable to the pro forma adjustments for items with tax effect in the U.S. entities are calculated at the average tax rates of 36.69% and 23.05% for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. |
H. | Hydro One has recorded an adjustment to the fair value of Avista’s long term debt and recorded a regulatory offset of C$151 million in Regulatory Assets for the portion of the fair value adjustment to long-term debt held within regulated operations. Hydro One views the regulatory offset upon consummation of the acquisition as a proxy for the regulatory asset that would be recorded in the event such debt was extinguished at an amount higher than the carrying value. |
I. | As described in the Merger Agreement, Hydro One agreed to exchange certain of Avista’s outstanding share-based compensation awards partially settled as a cash payment and the remainder settled by conversion to equivalent Hydro One share-based compensation awards. Each award was measured at fair value on the date of the Merger with an aggregate value of C$37 million. |
J. | Excess cash of C$89 million is after accounting for the net cash proceeds of C$460 million (C$486 million net of the after tax interest payments of C$26 million) that is already reflected in the historical financial statements of Hydro One as described in Note 3(B). The aggregate pro forma adjustments to cash and cash equivalents of C$29 million on the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet represents the excess cash of C$89 million, net of the C$460 million already received, plus the C$400 million of short term borrowing as described in Note 3 (C). |
4. | PRO FORMA SHARES OUTSTANDING |
Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
The calculation of the pro forma earnings per common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017, reflect the dilutive effects of the assumed conversion of the Debentures and the assumed issuance of approximately 2 million of Hydro One’s common shares arising from stock based compensation awards, as if the issuance of the common shares arising from outstanding stock based compensation awards had taken place on January 1, 2017. The basic and diluted earnings per common share and basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the pro forma reporting period is determined as follows:

5. | CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND CLASSIFICATION ADJUSTMENTS |
The assets and liabilities of Avista, which has a US$ reporting and functional currency, are translated at the exchange rate of C$1.2884 = US$1.00 which was the rate published by Bloomberg as at March 31, 2018. Revenues and expenses in Avista’s statement of operations are translated to Canadian dollars using the rates published by Bloomberg at an average exchange rate of C$1.2648 = US$1.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and C$1.2983 = US$1.00 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Reclassifications were made to align the presentation of Avista’s financial statement amounts with Hydro One’s financial statement amounts in the accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information. No material differences in accounting policies under US GAAP have been identified; however, a more detailed analysis will be completed after the Merger.
