Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following sets forth certain unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information giving effect to the planned merger of Lam Research and KLA-Tencor. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information set forth below has been presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the merger been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. Certain terms used herein are defined under the caption “Helpful Definitions.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes that the merger took place on March 27, 2016 and combines Lam Research’s March 27, 2016 consolidated balance sheet with KLA-Tencor’s March 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheet.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2015 assumes that the merger took place on June 30, 2014. Lam Research’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2015 has been combined with KLA-Tencor’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended March 27, 2016 also assumes that the merger took place on June 30, 2014. Lam Research’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended March 27, 2016 has been combined with KLA-Tencor’s unaudited consolidated statement of operation for the nine months ended March 31, 2016.

The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the merger; (2) factually supportable; and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was based on and should be read in conjunction with the following historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Lam Research and KLA-Tencor for the applicable periods:

 

    Separate historical financial statements of Lam Research as of and for the year ended June 28, 2015 and the related notes included in Lam Research’s Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2015;

 

    Separate historical financial statements of KLA-Tencor as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015 and the related notes included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K;

 

    Separate historical financial statements of Lam Research as of and for the nine months ended March 27, 2016 and the related notes included in Lam Research’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 27, 2016; and

 

    Separate historical financial statements of KLA-Tencor as of and for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and the related notes included in Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under existing GAAP standards, which are subject to change and interpretation. Lam Research has been treated as the acquiror in the merger for accounting purposes. The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the merger, the costs to combine the operations of Lam Research and KLA-Tencor or the costs necessary to achieve any of the foregoing cost savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Transaction

On October 20, 2015, Lam Research entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with KLA-Tencor, under which KLA-Tencor will ultimately become a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Lam Research.

As a result of the merger, Lam Research will pay cash and issue common stock and equity-based awards, subject to certain exceptions, as follows:

 

    Each KLA-Tencor stockholder may elect to receive, for all shares of KLA-Tencor common stock held, one of the following forms of merger consideration, which will be payable on a per share basis, and is collectively referred to as the “merger consideration”:

 

    “mixed consideration,” consisting of 0.5 shares of Lam Research common stock and $32.00 in cash;

 

    “all-stock consideration,” consisting of (1) a number of shares of Lam Research common stock equal to 0.5 plus (2) a number of shares of Lam Research common stock equal to $32.00 divided by the five-trading day VWAP, subject to proration; or

 

    “all-cash consideration,” consisting of (1) $32.00 in cash plus (2) an amount in cash equal to 0.5 times the five-trading day VWAP, subject to proration;

 

    each then-unvested KLA-Tencor RSU (including performance-based restricted stock units) that is held by a continuing service provider will be converted into a Lam Research RSU with economically equivalent terms as applied immediately prior to the effective time of the merger;

 

    each share of KLA-Tencor common stock underlying KLA-Tencor RSUs that is vested (after taking into account any acceleration of vesting that occurs at the effective time of the merger) but as to which such share of stock has not yet been issued will be issued as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, treated as KLA-Tencor common stock in the merger and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration; and

 

    each KLA-Tencor stock option will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of KLA-Tencor common stock subject to such KLA-Tencor stock option multiplied by (b) (i) the all-cash consideration less (ii) the exercise price per share for such KLA-Tencor option.

At the effective time of the merger, each KLA-Tencor RSU that is unvested and held by an individual who is not a continuing service provider will be cancelled without payment of any consideration.

Lam Research has entered into (1) a senior unsecured term loan agreement which provides up to $1.53 billion in term loans, subject to certain conditions; and (2) a debt commitment letter which provides for a senior unsecured 364-day bridge facility in a principal amount of up to $2.67 billion, subject to certain conditions. Lam Research has also entered into an amendment and restatement of its existing revolving credit agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the revolving lenders agreed to increase their aggregate commitments under the revolving credit agreement from $300 million to $750 million.

Lam Research intends to fund the cash component of the merger consideration and related fees and expenses and to prepay KLA-Tencor’s term loans of approximately $616 million with a combination of approximately $1.5 billion of the combined companies’ balance sheet cash and proceeds of approximately $4.2 billion under the term loans, the revolving credit agreement and from the issuance of debt securities or, to the extent necessary, borrowings under the bridge facility. In connection with the merger, we expect to offer to holders of KLA-Tencor’s outstanding $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, referred to as the KLA-Tencor Senior Notes, new series of Lam Research senior unsecured notes in exchange for the KLA-Tencor Senior Notes.

Lam Research is pursuing financing that would replace financing available under the bridge facility.

Completion of the merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including but not limited to receipt of all required regulatory approvals, and other customary conditions. On February 19, 2016, at special meetings of the stockholders of Lam Research and KLA-Tencor, respectively, Lam Research’s stockholders approved the issuance of common stock to KLA-Tencor stockholders in connection with the merger and KLA-Tencor’s stockholders adopted the merger agreement, satisfying two of the conditions to closing. The merger agreement contains certain termination rights for both Lam Research and KLA-Tencor and further provides that, Lam Research or KLA-Tencor, as applicable, may be required to pay a termination fee of $290 million.

Subsequent to the periods presented within the pro forma financial statements, the Lam Research’s Senior Convertible Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) matured on May 15, 2016. Lam Research paid approximately $451.6 million in settlement of the notes and did not issue any shares of its common stock in respect of the 2016 Notes on a net basis as a result of the exercise of an associated convertible note hedge. Settlement of the convertible note hedge resulted in Lam Research receiving 771 shares of its common stock on a net basis and a de minimis amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares.

2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and was based on the historical financial statements of Lam Research and KLA-Tencor. All unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements use Lam Research’s period end dates.

 

5


The acquisition method of accounting is based on Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations, which uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

ASC Topic 805 requires, among other things, that assets and liabilities acquired be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Financial statements of Lam Research issued after completion of the merger will reflect such fair values, measured as of the acquisition date, which may be different than the estimated fair values included in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The financial statements of Lam Research issued after the completion of the merger will not be retroactively restated to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of KLA-Tencor. In addition, ASC Topic 805 establishes that the consideration transferred be measured at the closing date of the merger at the then-current market price, which will likely result in a purchase price that is different from the amount assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

ASC Topic 820, defines the term “fair value” and sets forth the valuation requirements for any asset or liability measured at fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers unrelated to Lam Research in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. As a result of these standards, Lam Research may be required to record assets which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at fair value measures that do not reflect Lam Research’s intended use of those assets. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.

Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs (such as advisory, legal, valuation, and other professional fees) are not included as a component of consideration transferred and are excluded from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. Such costs will be expensed in the historical statements of operations in the period incurred. Lam Research and KLA-Tencor expect to incur total acquisition-related transaction costs of approximately $55.0 million and $64.6 million, respectively.

3. Accounting Policies

As part of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, Lam Research conducted an initial review of the accounting policies of KLA-Tencor to determine if differences in accounting policies require recasting or reclassification of results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to Lam Research’s accounting policies and classifications. Management’s assessment is ongoing and, at the time of preparing the pro forma financial statements, other than the adjustments and reclassifications made herein, management is not aware of any other material differences.

As a result of the preliminary analysis, Lam Research identified certain adjustments to conform KLA-Tencor’s accounting policies to those of Lam Research relative to the timing of systems revenue recognition and associated costs as it relates to customer acceptance criteria. Management has also identified certain reclassifications necessary to conform KLA-Tencor’s financial statement presentation to that of Lam Research. These reclassifications and adjustments made in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented in Notes 6 and 7.

Upon consummation of the merger, Lam Research will perform a more comprehensive review of KLA-Tencor’s accounting policies in an effort to determine if additional differences in accounting policies and/or financial statement classification exist. As a result of that review, Lam management may identify differences that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

(1) The estimated consideration expected to be transferred reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements does not purport to represent what the actual consideration transferred will be when the merger is completed. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, the fair value of equity securities issued as part of the consideration transferred will be measured on the closing date of the merger at the then-current market price. This requirement will likely result in a per share equity component different from the $73.14 closing price of Lam Research common stock on May 17, 2016 that is assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, and that difference may be material. Lam Research believes that an increase or decrease by as much as 10% in the Lam Research common stock price on the closing date of the merger from the common stock price assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is reasonably possible based upon the recent history of Lam Research’s common stock price. A change in the estimated fair value of Lam Research’s share price of 10% would increase or decrease the consideration paid as follows, with a corresponding increase or decrease in the goodwill recorded in connection with the merger.

The preliminary valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed performed for the purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements was primarily limited to the identification and valuation of intangible assets, property and equipment, inventory, deferred revenue and taxes. Lam Research believes this was an appropriate approach based on a review of similar acquisitions, which appeared to indicate that the most significant and material portion of the purchase price would be allocated to identifiable intangible assets. Lam Research will continue to refine its identification and valuation of assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed as further information becomes available.

The following is a discussion of the adjustments made to KLA-Tencor’s assets and liabilities in connection with the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements:

Property and equipment: As of the effective time of the merger, property, equipment and software is required to be measured at fair value, unless those assets are classified as held-for-sale on the acquisition date. The acquired assets can include assets that are not intended to be used or sold, or that are intended to be used in a manner other than their highest and best use. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the fair value of property and equipment has been determined primarily through the use of either the sales comparison method or the depreciated replacement cost method. The sales comparison method is a form of the “market approach” in which the value of the asset is estimated based on the market price of an asset of comparable features such as location and size. The depreciated replacement cost method is a form of the “cost approach” in which the value of the asset is estimated based on the cost to replace the asset with an asset of comparable utility and adjusting for physical deterioration, functional obsolescence and economic obsolescence.

Lam Research does not have sufficient information at this time as to the specific types, nature, age, condition or location of these assets to perform a final valuation. However, for the purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, using currently available information, such as KLA-Tencor’s balance sheet, fixed asset register, high-level discussions with company management, real estate information and certain other high-level assumptions, the fair value of property and equipment were estimated by Lam Research management and were as follows:

Total

      $ 445,854   
     

 

 

 

These preliminary estimates of fair value and weighted-average useful life will likely be different from the final acquisition accounting, and the difference could have a material impact on the accompanying pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

Intangible assets: As of the effective time of the merger, identifiable intangible assets are required to be measured at fair value and these acquired assets could include assets that are not intended to be used or sold or that are intended to be used in a manner other than their highest and best use. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, it is assumed that all assets will be used in a manner that represents their highest and best use. Based on internal assessments as well as discussions with KLA-Tencor, Lam Research identified the following significant intangible assets: customer relationships, technology, and in-process research and development.

For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the fair value of these intangible assets has been determined primarily through the use of the “income approach,” which requires an estimate or forecast of all the expected future cash flows through the use of either the multi-period excess earnings method or the relief-from-royalty method.

At this time, Lam Research does not have sufficient information as to the amount, timing and risk of the estimated future cash flows needed to perform a final valuation of customer relationships, technology, backlog, or in-process research and development. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of estimated cash flows, from the perspective of a market participant, include: the amount and timing of projected future cash flows (including revenue, cost of revenue, sales and marketing expenses, working capital, capital expenditures and contributory asset charges) and the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the projections of future cash flows. However, for the purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, using currently available information, such as KLA-Tencor’s historical and projected revenues, customer attrition rates, cost structure and certain other high-level assumptions, the fair value of the customer relationships, technology, backlog, and in-process research and development were estimated by Lam Research management.

These preliminary estimates of fair value and weighted-average useful life will likely be different from the final acquisition accounting, and the difference could have a material impact on the accompanying pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Once Lam Research has full access to the specifics of KLA-Tencor’s intangible assets, additional insight will be gained that could impact: (i) the estimated total value assigned to intangible assets, and (ii) the estimated useful life of each category of intangible assets. The estimated intangible asset values and their useful lives could be impacted by a variety of factors that may become known to Lam Research only upon access to additional information and/or changes in such factors that may occur prior to the effective time of the merger. For each $100 million change in the fair value of identifiable intangible assets, there could be an annual change in amortization expense—increase or decrease—of approximately $12.7 million ($3.2 million per quarter), assuming a weighted-average useful life of 8 years.

Inventory: As of the effective time of the merger, inventory is required to be measured at fair value. KLA-Tencor’s inventory consists of raw materials, work in process, finished goods and spare parts. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the preliminary fair value of inventory has been determined based on currently available information and certain high-level assumptions and may be different from the final acquisition accounting, and the difference could have an impact on the accompanying pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Raw materials were valued based on KLA-Tencor’s current net book values. Work in process, finished goods and spare parts were valued using the comparative sales method, which estimates the expected sales price of the subject inventory, reduced for all costs expected to be incurred in its completion (for work in process), disposition and a profit on those efforts.

Deferred revenue: Deferred revenue in the context of a business combination represents an obligation to provide future products or services to a customer when payment for such products or services has been made prior to the products being delivered or services being rendered. A certain portion of KLA-Tencor’s deferred revenue is for tools that have been delivered to the customer and for which KLA-Tencor is awaiting installation or customer acceptance. Therefore there are only minimal future costs required to secure customer acceptance of the tools. Accordingly, Lam Research reduced the balance of deferred revenue as of March 27, 2016 by $210.1 million for the preliminary estimate of the portion of deferred revenue for which future costs exists.

 

9


Debt: As of the effective time of the merger, debt is required to be measured at fair value. The fair value of KLA-Tencor’s notes payable have been determined using readily available market information. It has been preliminarily determined that book value approximates fair value. In addition, Lam Research intends to extinguish KLA-Tencor’s term loans at transaction close.

Deferred income taxes: As of the effective time of the merger, Lam Research will provide deferred taxes and other tax adjustments as part of the accounting for the acquisition, primarily related to the estimated fair value adjustments for acquired intangibles. The $1.7 billion net increase to deferred tax liabilities included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects the summation of those adjustments. These estimates are based on a preliminary valuation and are subject to further review by Lam Research’s management, which may result in material adjustments at the closing date of the merger.

To account for the combined results, Lam Research has decreased the pro forma combined provision for income taxes by $235.6 million for the year ended June 28, 2015 and decreased the pro forma combined provision for income taxes by $112.5 million for the nine months ended March 27, 2016.

Other assets/liabilities: Adjustments to KLA-Tencor’s remaining assets and liabilities may also be necessary, however at this time Lam Research has limited knowledge as to the specific details and nature of those assets and liabilities necessary in order to make adjustments to those values. However, since the majority of the remaining assets and liabilities are current assets and liabilities, Lam Research believes that the current KLA-Tencor book values for these assets represent reasonable estimates of fair value or net realizable value, as applicable. Lam Research does not anticipate that the actual adjustments for these assets and liabilities on the closing date will be materially different.

Goodwill: Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration expected to be transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but rather subject to an annual fair value impairment test.

6. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations:

The following reclassifications have been made in the presentation of the historical consolidated financial statements to conform to the combined presentation:

 

    $131.7 million of loss on extinguishment of debt and other, net to other expense (income), net for the year ended June 28, 2015. There was no loss on extinguishment of debt and other, net realized in the nine months ended March 27, 2016.

 

    $74.1 million and $73.7 million of other expense, net to interest expense for the nine months ended March 27, 2016 and year ended June 28, 2015, respectively.

 

(A) Conforming Accounting Policies—Adjustment to conform KLA-Tencor’s accounting policies to those of Lam Research relative to the timing of systems revenue recognition and associated costs as it relates to customer acceptance criteria. KLA-Tencor’s revenue recognition policy differs from Lam Research’s in that KLA-Tencor recognizes systems revenue upon installation and title transfer when there is a history of meeting defined acceptance experience levels for both the customer and specific equipment type; whereas Lam Research defers recognizing systems revenue until customer acceptance.

To the extent that Lam Research or KLA-Tencor incur such costs in the future they will be expensed in the statements of operations of the respective companies in the periods incurred.

 

(J) Income tax expense—This represents the tax effect of adjustments to income before income taxes, resulting in a blended tax rate benefit of 28.8% and (1.0%) for the year end June 28, 2015 and the nine months ended March 27, 2016, respectively, representing the estimated combined effective U.S. federal, state, and foreign statutory rates. However, the effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-acquisition activities.

(G) Intangible assets—To record the difference between the historical amounts of KLA-Tencor net intangible assets and preliminary fair values of KLA-Tencor intangible assets acquired. These estimated fair values and useful lives are considered preliminary and are subject to change at the closing date of the transaction.
