NORTHSTAR REALTY EUROPE CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 is presented as if the Trianon disposition had been completed on September 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017 reflect adjustments related to the Trianon disposition as if the transaction had been completed on January 1, 2017, the beginning of the earliest period presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and, in the opinion of management, reflect all necessary adjustments that are: (i) directly attributable to the transactions; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the Company.
2. Trianon Disposition
Trianon disposition adjustments (based on the September 30, 2018 applicable exchange rate) to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2018 reflect adjustments to:
•
Exclude the balance sheet of the Trianon Tower
•
Cash received from the sale of $363 million representing the sale price after repayment of mortgage financing and associated prepayment penalties ($384 million), the Preferred Equity Certificates and payment of transaction costs
•
Retained a $6 million equity interest in Symbol Holdco C-T S.à. r.l in the form of preferred equity certificates with a 7% yield (the "Preferred Equity Certificates")
•
The reclassification of the currency translation adjustment ("CTA") from a component of accumulated other comprehensive income ("OCI")
Trianon disposition adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 reflect adjustments to exclude the results of operations of Trianon, including amounts allocated to redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Company and include the interest income earned on the 7% yield on the Preferred Equity Certificates. The adjustment to other gain (loss), net reflects the adjustment to eliminate the gain on the non-cash change in fair value related to the interest rate caps for the periods presented.
3. Pro Forma Earnings Per Share
