Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Introduction

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the accounting for the Merger (see description below), including the pro forma adjustments intended to illustrate the estimated effects of the Debt Financing (the “Financing Adjustments”) and the Merger and other related transactions (the “Transaction Accounting Adjustments” and, together with the Financing Adjustments, collectively, the “Adjustments”).
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by Aebi Schmidt Holding AG (the “Company” or “Aebi Schmidt”) in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, is derived from:
 

the historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as included in Aebi Schmidt’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025;

the historical audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, as included in Aebi Schmidt’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Commission File No. 333-286373) (the “Form S-4”);

the historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as included in Shyft’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025:

the historical audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, as included in Shyft’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The historical financial statements of Aebi Schmidt and Shyft have been adjusted to depict in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information the accounting for the 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 under the circumstances.
 
The Merger is accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with Aebi Schmidt as the accounting acquirer in accordance with ASC 805. Under this method of accounting, the consideration transferred is allocated to Shyft’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed mostly based upon their estimated fair values at the closing date of the Merger (the “Closing Date”). Any differences between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The process of valuing the net assets of Shyft at the Closing Date, the allocation of the consideration transferred as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, is preliminary but represents Aebi Schmidt’s current best estimate and is subject to revision.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the Combined Company’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the Transactions been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the Combined Company’s future results of operations or financial position for any future period. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. The final purchase price allocation may differ from that reflected in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, and these differences may be material.
 
Description of the Transactions

The Merger
 
On December 16, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 16, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement’’), by and among The Shyft Group, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Shyft”), the Company, ASH U.S. Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Aebi Schmidt (“Holdco”), and Badger Merger Sub, Inc., a Michigan corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Shyft (the “Merger”, and the time at which the Merger is effective, the “Effective Time”), with Shyft surviving the Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco and as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Aebi Schmidt (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). “Combined Company” refers to Aebi Schmidt as of and following the Effective Time.
 
1

At the Effective Time (“July 1, 2025”), each share of common stock, no par value, of Shyft (“Shyft Common Stock”) that was issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Shyft Common Stock that were held as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by Holdco, Aebi Schmidt, Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries) automatically converted into the right to receive 1.040166432 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Aebi Schmidt (“Aebi Schmidt Common Stock”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
 
Immediately following the Effective Time, the holders of shares of Shyft Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time owned approximately 48% of the issued and outstanding shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock and the holders of shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time owned approximately 52% of the issued and outstanding shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock.
 
Refinancing existing debt of Aebi Schmidt and Shyft
 
On March 10, 2025, the Company entered into a syndicated $600,000,000 credit facilities agreement (“New Credit Facilities Agreement”) consisting of a multicurrency senior secured amortizing term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350,000,000 (Facility A) and a multicurrency senior secured revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250,000,000 (Revolving Facility). With the closing of the Merger on July 1, 2025, the New Credit Facilities Agreement became effective.
 
On July 1, 2025, substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Merger, the Company repaid in full all outstanding indebtedness, discharged and all other obligations (except those obligations that expressly survive termination) and terminated all credit commitments, security agreements and liens outstanding under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2021 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and certain other parties thereto. Upon such termination, all rights, obligations (except those obligations that expressly survive the termination of the Credit Agreement), liabilities and security interests under the Credit Agreement were fully released and discharged.
 
Special Cash Retention and Restricted Stock Awards
 
The Human Resources and Compensation Committee (HRCC) of the Shyft’s Board believed that Jacob Farmer, the President of Fleet Vehicles and Services, Joshua Sherbin, the Chief Legal, Administrative, and Compliance Officer, and Michael VanDieren, the Vice President of Corporate and Business Development, were essential for successfully integrating the business and creating value for Aebi Schmidt after the Merger. To incentivize Messrs. Farmer, Sherbin, and VanDieren to remain employed with Aebi Schmidt, the HRCC and the Shyft’s Board approved special cash retention awards for these executives on December 15, 2024. The total cash retention awards are $1,600,000 each for both Messrs. Farmer and Sherbin, and $400,000 for Mr. VanDieren. Messrs. Sherbin and VanDieren received their payments by December 31, 2024, and Mr. Farmer received his on June 27, 2025, but they must repay the amounts to Shyft after taxes if they resign without good reason or if they are terminated for cause before the first anniversary of the Merger.
 
Additionally, the HRCC and the Shyft Board approved grants of restricted stock for Messrs. Farmer, Sherbin, and VanDieren on December 15, 2024. The grant date fair value of these restricted stock awards is $2,000,000 each for both Messrs. Farmer and Sherbin, and $800,000 for Mr. VanDieren, based on the fair market value of Shyft Common Stock on the grant date. Each restricted stock grant has two parts: one part fully vested upon grant, and the other part will vest in three equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the Closing Date.
 
As of June 30, 2025 and July 1, 2025, Messrs. VanDieren and Sherbin were both terminated from the Company, and Messrs. Van Dieren and Sherbin forfeited their restricted stock awards described above. Mr. VanDieren was allowed to keep the cash retention bonus.

Aebi Schmidt’s Board granted additional bonus compensation in the form of 250,000 shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock prior to the Closing Date (such numbers taking into effect the 1 to 7.5 stock split of the Aebi Schmidt Common Stock to be effected prior to the Closing) (the “Retention Awards”) to members of Aebi Schmidt’s executive board and other senior executives of Aebi Schmidt and its group companies (collectively, “Aebi Schmidt Group”), as determined by Aebi Schmidt’s Board in its discretion. The Retention Awards are intended to reward the exceptional performance, help retain the services of such executives by incentivizing them to continue to serve with the Combined Company following the Merger, and better align the interests to the Combined Company’s shareholders by increasing their equity stake in the Combined Company. The Retention Awards will be subject to a lockup and clawback period which will expire on the third anniversary of the date of grant (the “Lock-up Release Date”). If a grantee’s employment with Aebi Schmidt Group terminates on or prior to the Lock-up Release Date as the result of the grantee’s resignation for any reason or a termination by the Company for gross misconduct, or if the grantee fails to satisfy certain other conditions, the grantee’s Retention Award will be forfeited and the grantee will be required to surrender the Aebi Schmidt Common Stock received under the Retention Award in full. If Aebi Schmidt Group terminates a grantee’s employment for a reason other than gross misconduct before the Lock-up Release Date, the grantee will remain entitled to the Retention Award if all other conditions are met, and the shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock will vest upon the grantee’s termination of employment.
 
Equity Awards
 
At the Effective Time, Shyft’s outstanding equity awards were treated as follows:
 

Shyft Restricted Stock Units: At the Effective Time, each Shyft restricted stock unit (“RSU”) that was held by an employee and did not vest on or prior to the Effective Time by its terms, was assumed by Aebi Schmidt and exchanged for time-vesting Aebi Schmidt RSU of equivalent value and subject to substantially the same terms and conditions, including vesting and settlement terms, as applied to the corresponding Shyft RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time. The number of shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock subject to such Aebi Schmidt RSU was equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Shyft Common Stock underlying such Shyft RSU prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Pursuant to ASC 805, the transaction date fair-value-based measured of the Shyft RSU being replaced was allocated to consideration transferred based on the ratio of pre-combination service over the greater of the total service period or the original service period. Post-combination compensation expense, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the replacement awards following the Transactions, calculated as the difference between the transaction date fair-value-based measure of the replacement Aebi Schmidt RSUs and the amount allocated to consideration transferred.
 

Shyft Performance Stock Units: At the Effective Time, each Shyft performance stock unit (“PSU”) that was held by an employee and did not vest on or prior to the Effective Time by its terms, was assumed by Aebi Schmidt and exchanged for an Aebi Schmidt RSU (i) for the period prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, in respect of the number of shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Shyft Common Stock subject to such Shyft PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, assuming performance goals are achieved based on the higher of target or actual performance as of immediately prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio and (ii) for the period commencing on the date of the Merger Agreement and ending on the Effective Time, in respect of the number of shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Shyft Common Stock subject to such Shyft PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, assuming performance goals are achieved based on target performance, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio. After the Effective Time, such Aebi Schmidt RSU will only be subject to time-vesting and will vest at the end of the specified performance period. Pursuant to ASC 805, the transaction date fair-value-based measured of the Shyft PSU being replaced, considering the target level of performance achievement as stipulated in the original award agreement, was allocated to consideration transferred based on the ratio of pre-combination service over the greater of the total service period or the original service period. Post-combination compensation expense, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the awards following the Transactions, calculated as the difference between the transaction date fair-value-based measure of the replacement Aebi Schmidt RSUs and the amount allocated to consideration transferred.
 
3


Shyft Director Restricted Stock Units: At the Effective Time, each Shyft Director RSU vested in full, and was cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder to receive the number of shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Shyft Common Stock underlying such Shyft Director RSU, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Pursuant to ASC 805, the entire transaction date fair-value-based measure of the Shyft Director RSUs was recognized as consideration transferred as part of the Transactions due to the preexisting single-trigger provision requiring the acceleration of vesting in the event of a change in control.

Note 1. Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
 
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying pro forma financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was prepared using the historical balance sheets of Aebi Schmidt and Shyft as of March 31, 2025.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented as if the Transactions had occurred on March 31, 2025, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, give effect to the Transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2024.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any anticipated synergies or dis-synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the integration costs that may be incurred. The pro forma adjustments represent Aebi Schmidt’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that Aebi Schmidt believes are reasonable under the circumstances. There are no other material transactions or accounting policy differences between Aebi Schmidt and Shyft during the periods presented, other than the adjustments being made in the pro forma financial information.
 
Note 2. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet
 
Transaction Adjustments

The Merger is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their Closing Date fair values, with any excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired, if any, recorded as goodwill.
 
 
(a)
Reflects the elimination of Shyft’s historical equity upon Closing Date.
 
 
(b)
On July 1, 2025, Aebi Schmidt effected a forward stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock, par value $1.00 per share, at a ratio of 1 to 7.5 (the “Forward Stock Split”). Shares of common stock were proportionately increased. The Forward Stock Split has been presented in the pro forma balance sheet as an elimination of the common stock, par value 10.00 CHF and recording the after-split common stock, $1.00 par value with the corresponding impact to additional paid-in capital.
 
 
(c)
The accounting for the Merger is based on currently available information and is considered preliminary. The final accounting for the Merger may differ materially from that presented in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
 
The stock price of Shyft Common Stock as of June 30, 2025, the last trading day prior to delisting, is used to measure the consideration transferred as it is more reliably measurable than the stock price of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock on the Closing date.
 
The following table presents the calculation of preliminary consideration transferred:

(1) Includes vested Shyft Director RSU awards.
 
(2) The fair value of the share consideration and the replacement awards issued to Shyft employees was determined using Shyft’s stock price, as it was considered more reliably measurable than the stock price of Aebi Schmidt. The measurement was based on Shyft’s stock price as of June 30, 2025, the last trading day prior to delisting, which occurred on the Closing Date of July 1, 2025.
 
(3) Represents the estimated fair value of Shyft RSUs (other than Shyft Director RSUs) and Shyft PSUs attributable to pre-combination services. See Description of the Transactions, Equity awards in the Introduction section. $4.2 million of Shyft RSUs are attributed to pre-combination service, and $4.2 million of Shyft PSUs are attributed to pre-combination service.

The preliminary purchase accounting was based on certain valuation techniques dependent on the asset class of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed including intangible assets, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and leases. A final determination of the fair value of Shyft’s assets and liabilities will be performed. The final acquisition consideration allocation may be materially different than that reflected in the preliminary acquisition consideration allocation presented herein. Any increase or decrease in fair values of the net assets as compared with the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements may change the amount of the total acquisition consideration allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the Combined Company statements of income due to adjustments in the depreciation and amortization of the adjusted assets.
 
10

 
(d)
Represents the preliminary estimated fair value adjustment to property, plant and equipment acquired. The preliminary fair value of personal property was determined primarily using the cost approach, with the market approach applied to certain assets where an active secondary market exists. The fair value of real property was determined using the cost and sales comparison approach. Fair values were developed by comparing asset-specific cost data, market benchmarks, and industry trends.

(e)
Reflects the preliminary estimated fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired. The estimated fair values and useful lives of the intangible assets are preliminary and subject to change upon finalization of the purchase price allocation. The preliminary fair values of trade name and technology were determined using the relief-from-royalty method, while customer relationships and backlog were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (MPEEM).

(f)
Reflects the adjustment to recognize the net lease intangible asset of $3.8 million that represents the off-market terms of the acquired lease agreements. This represents the fair value of lease contracts that are either favorable or unfavorable relative to current market terms, as assessed at the acquisition date. The net asset was measured as the present value of the difference between contractual lease payments and market-based lease rates over the remaining lease term. This adjustment results in the recognition of an off-market lease intangible.
 
 
(g)
Reflects nonrecurring transaction-related expenses of $6.8 million incurred by Aebi Schmidt, including legal, accounting and regulatory fees directly associated with the Merger paid at the Closing Date.
 
 
(h)
Reflects the adjustment to Shyft’s inventory to step up to fair value using the net realizable value method. The estimated fair value of inventory is preliminary and subject to change.
 
 
(i)
Represents the elimination of accounts receivable and accounts payable, in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet arising from intercompany sales and purchases of products between Aebi Schmidt and Shyft.
 
11

 
(j)
Represents the Shyft cash retention bonus payment of $1.6 million paid to Mr. Farmer at the time of the Merger and corresponding receivable recorded, and the removal of the receivable of $0.4 million related to Mr. VanDieren that was recorded in the historical balance sheet. The receivable for the retention bonus payment to Messrs. Sherbin and VanDieren is reflected in Shyft’s historical balance sheet, as Shyft paid them in December 2024. Mr. VanDieren was terminated on June 30, 2025, and was allowed to keep his cash retention bonus thus the receivable is removed from the historical balance sheet. See Description of the Transactions, Special cash retention and restricted stock awards in the Introduction section.
 
 
In addition, an adjustment of $1.0 million has been recorded to reflect the payment of Aebi Schmidt transaction bonuses to certain employees in connection with the closing of the Merger. This amount was accrued in Aebi Schmidt's historical financials and has been eliminated to reflect the payment in the pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2025.
 
 
(k)
During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, management performed an analysis of Shyft’s financial information to identify differences in accounting policies compared to those of Aebi Schmidt. Adjustment represents the alignment of Shyft’s policies on chassis pool arrangements to Aebi Schmidt’s policies.
 
 
(l)
Represents the adjustment to retained earnings to record a one-time post-combination expense related to severance costs of Shyft executives made after the Merger under the Shyft Executive Severance Plan. The severance benefits total $15.9 million, including cash severance and bonus, health benefits, and the acceleration of unvested Shyft RSU and Shyft PSU equity awards. Because these awards are vested at closing and require no further service, the entire post-combination portion of such awards is recognized as compensation expense immediately after the closing of the Merger. See below for the adjustments to be made to accrued compensation, common stock and additional paid-in-capital as results of the severance benefits.

(m)
Reflects the reclassification of the repurchase liability of Aebi Schmidt employee shares as a result of the Merger. Under the Employee Share Plan, Aebi Schmidt has the obligation to repurchase all shares held by the plan participants using the last fair value calculated prior to termination if a participant terminates for any reason other than death or retirement. Therefore, Aebi Schmidt historically recognized a liability based on the repurchase provisions of the award and remeasured this liability at each balance sheet date based on the then-current cash redemption value. In accordance with the terms of the Employee Share Plan, this repurchase obligation is waived once Aebi Schmidt’s shares are successfully listed on an active stock exchange as a result of an IPO or Merger. After the Merger, the participants may freely dispose of all shares once the lock-up periods are lifted. Therefore, Aebi Schmidt no longer has an obligation to buy back shares from plan participants. The liability is reclassified to equity accordingly.
 
 
(n)
Reflects estimated deferred taxes related to the purchase price allocation and income tax impact related to the pro forma adjustments. Tax-related adjustments are based upon a blended statutory tax rate of approximately 24.9% which represents the adjustment to the deferred tax balances associated with the incremental differences in the book and tax basis created from the purchase price allocation, primarily resulting from the preliminary fair value of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. The effective tax rate of Aebi Schmidt following the Transactions could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-acquisition activities, including the geographical mix of income.

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.

(b)
Represents pro forma EPS calculated using Aebi Schmidt’s historical weighted average shares outstanding and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Transactions. As the Transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share assumes that the shares issuable related to the Transactions have been outstanding for the entire period presented.
 
As a result of the Transactions, each issued and outstanding share of Shyft Common Stock has been converted into a number of shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio (1.040166432) as per the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, each outstanding share of Shyft Common Stock at the Closing Date has been converted into 1.040166432 shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock. Furthermore, the holders of Shyft Common Stock immediately prior to the Closing Date collectively own approximately 48% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Combined Company's common stock on a pro forma basis, while the holders of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock immediately prior to the Closing Date collectively own approximately 52% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Combined Company's common stock on a pro forma basis.
