Exhibit 99.3

SPECTRUM BRANDS HOLDINGS, INC. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended March 31, 2018, the date of the latest publicly available interim financial information for Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (formerly HRG Group, Inc., “Spectrum”), and for the year ended September 30, 2017, the date of the latest publicly available annual financial information for Spectrum, gives effect to the Merger. In the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, the Merger will be accounted for as an acquisition of a non-controlling interest under ASC 810-10. Accordingly, the Merger will be measured based on Spectrum’s historical values.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position at March 31, 2018 is presented on a basis to reflect the Merger as if it had occurred on March 31, 2018. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the year ended September 30, 2017 and the six month period ended March 31, 2018 are presented on a basis to reflect the Merger as if it had occurred on October 1, 2016.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on, and should be read in conjunction with Spectrum’s historical audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in (i) Spectrum’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, as revised in Spectrum’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 30, 2018, (ii) Spectrum’s Quarterly Report on From 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, (iii) Spectrum Brands Legacy, Inc.’s (f/k/a Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc., “Legacy SPB”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 as revised in Legacy SPB’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 30, 2018 and (iv) Legacy SPB’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 1, 2018.

Spectrum’s historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the Merger, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on results. The resulting pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to cost savings, operating synergies, tax benefits or revenue enhancements (or the necessary costs to achieve such benefits) that are expected to result from the Merger.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that management believes reasonably reflect the Merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what actual results of operations or the consolidated financial position would have been had the Merger occurred on the date assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of our future consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(in millions, except per share figures)

NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation

The Merger will be accounted for as an acquisition of a non-controlling interest in accordance with ASC 810-10. In accounting for the Merger, Spectrum will apply its historical accounting policies and recognize the assets and liabilities of Legacy SPB at their respective historical values as of the closing date of the Merger.

NOTE 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not assume any differences in accounting policies between Spectrum and Legacy SPB.

NOTE 3 – Pro Forma Reclassifications and Adjustments for the Merger

 

(A) Adjustment reflects the net increase in deferred tax assets of $352.5 million resulting from the partial release of the deferred tax valuation allowance for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Due to the Merger, Spectrum has determined that it is more-likely-than-not its U.S. deferred tax assets will be used to reduce taxable income, except for tax attributes subject to ownership limitations. The release of the valuation allowance is not reflected in the pro forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations because there will not be a continuing effect.

 

(B) Adjustment reflects Spectrum and Legacy SPB estimated expenses related to the Merger will be approximately $13.0 million and $18.3 million, respectively. These costs include fees for investment banking services, advisory, legal, accounting, due diligence, tax, valuation, printing and various other services necessary to complete this transaction. In accordance with ASC 810-10, these fees and expenses will be charged to expense as incurred. The transaction expenses are not reflected in the pro forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations because there will not be a continuing effect.

 

(C) Adjustment reflects the elimination of the non-controlling interest related to Legacy SPB as a result of the Merger.

 

(D) Adjustment reflects $4.5 million and $14.8 million for the six month period ended March 31, 2018 and year ended September 30, 2017, respectively, for the elimination of separate public company expenses that will cease to be incurred as a direct result of the Merger.
