Business Acquisition, Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared as if the acquisition of Diamond Foods had taken place at the beginning of the first quarter of 2016. The unaudited pro forma results include estimates and assumptions regarding increased amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition, reduced interest expense related to debt due to lower interest rates associated with the new combined debt and the related tax effects, and reductions of non-recurring transaction-related expenses. Pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the date indicated, or that may result in the future for various reasons including the potential impact of revenue and cost synergies on the business.
