Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Transactions

On September 23, 2010, we acquired the Liquid Container Entities (as defined below) from each of the limited partners (the “Liquid Container Limited Partners”) of Liquid Container L.P. (“Liquid Container”) (currently known as Graham Packaging LC, L.P.) and each of the stockholders (the “Stockholders”) of (i) Liquid Container Inc. (the “Liquid Container Managing General Partner”), (ii) CPG-L Holdings, Inc. (“CPG”), and (iii) WCK-L Holdings, Inc. (“WCK” and, together with the Liquid Container Managing General Partner and CPG, the “Liquid Container General Partners”). Liquid Container and the Liquid Container General Partners are collectively referred to as the “Liquid Container Entities.” We purchased all the shares from the Stockholders and all of the limited partnership units from the Liquid Container Limited Partners (collectively, the “Liquid Container Acquisition”) for a purchase price of $568.0 million plus cash on hand, minus certain indebtedness and including a preliminary net working capital adjustment.

In connection with the Liquid Container Acquisition, on September 23, 2010, we issued the 8.25% senior notes due 2018 in the aggregate amount of $250.0 million (the “2018 Senior Notes”).

On September 23, 2010, we also entered into a new $913.1 million aggregate principal amount term loan facility under our existing senior secured credit agreement, maturing on September 23, 2016 (“Term Loan D”). The Term Loan D was issued with a $6.8 million offering discount. We used $347.4 million borrowed under the Term Loan D to finance the Liquid Container Acquisition and $558.9 million, plus existing cash, to repay in full the amount outstanding under the Term Loan B of our senior secured credit agreement (the “Refinancing”).

In connection with the Liquid Container Acquisition, we were also required to pay existing indebtedness of the Liquid Container Entities, including accrued interest, then outstanding, in the amount of approximately $193.7 million. Of this amount, approximately $7.1 million remains outstanding and will be repaid in the fourth quarter of 2010.

The Liquid Container Acquisition, the related borrowings under the Term Loan D, the issuance of the 2018 Senior Notes, the repayment of the Liquid Container Entities’ existing indebtedness, the Refinancing and the payment of related fees and expenses are collectively referred to as the “Transactions.”

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is based on the historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of Graham Packaging Company, Inc., (“GPC”) and of each of the Liquid Container Entities, as adjusted to illustrate the estimated pro forma effects of the Transactions which include the following:

The Liquid Container Acquisition

The acquisition of the Liquid Container Entities for $568.0 million pursuant to the terms of the Stock and Unit Purchase Agreement, dated August 9, 2010, including:

 

   

The issuance of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2018 Senior Notes;

 

   

The repayment of $193.7 million outstanding under Liquid Container’s existing senior credit facilities and variable revenue bonds, including accrued interest;

 

   

$347.4 million of additional borrowings under the new Term Loan D;

 

   

The payment of an estimated $28.9 million in related transaction fees and expenses; and

 

   

The application of purchase accounting adjustments.

The Refinancing Transaction

The refinancing of our existing $563.1 million Term Loan B with borrowings under the new Term Loan D and existing cash, including the payment of an estimated $3.7 million in related transaction fees and expenses.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on June 30, 2010. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2009.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not give effect to certain one-time expenses and benefits we expect to incur in connection with the Transactions, such as (a) an approximate $5.0 million charge for the manufacturing profit added to inventories under acquisition accounting that will be expensed as the related inventory is sold, (b) a non-recurring charge totaling $4.5 million that will occur after the Transactions related to committed bridge financing that will be expensed when the notes are issued and such committed bridge financing is not used, (c) a non-recurring charge of approximately $6.6 million related to the portion of fees to professional advisors and other transaction-related costs that will not be capitalized as deferred financing costs, (d) an approximate $14.5 million loss on the extinguishment of our Term Loan B as a result of the Refinancing and (e) a one-time tax benefit of approximately $17.3 million related to the reduction of valuation allowance on GPC’s historical deferred tax assets. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not reflect the effects of any anticipated cost savings that may be realized and any related one-time costs to achieve those cost savings or any costs that may be incurred to integrate Liquid Container’s operations into ours.

Further, the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations information does not include adjustments related to two historical transactions involving our term loans. During May 2009, we refinanced approximately $1.2 billion of term debt. Additionally, as part of GPC’s IPO on February 10, 2010, we repaid approximately $128.9 million of term debt. Interest expense, assuming these transactions occurred on January 1, 2009, would have increased in 2009 by approximately $8.9 million, and decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2010, by approximately $2.1 million.

 


 

In the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, the Liquid Container Acquisition is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price for the Liquid Container Acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon estimates of fair value at the acquisition date. The unaudited pro forma adjustments reflected herein are based upon preliminary available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances and which are described in the accompanying notes. These preliminary estimates may change upon finalization of appraisals and valuation studies. Therefore, the final allocations may differ materially from the estimates used to prepare these pro forma consolidated financial statements which could result in a material change in the amount of depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of identifiable intangible assets.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent what our results of operations or financial condition actually would have been if the Transactions occurred on the dates indicated, nor do they purport to represent or project our results of operations for any future period or our financial condition as of any future date.

The Liquid Container Entities’ financial information included herein is derived from a combination of financial information of Liquid Container Inc. (reflecting the consolidation of Liquid Container), WCK-L Holdings, Inc. and CPG-L Holdings, Inc., each a general partner of Liquid Container. The pro forma combination of these entities, including the elimination of non-controlling interests and intercompany transactions between these entities and reclassifications to conform to GPC’s presentation, is presented in “—Supplemental Pro Forma Information—The Liquid Container Entities” following the Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of GPC included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed by GPC on March 5, 2010 (File No. 001-34621) and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, filed by GPC on August 4, 2010 (File No. 001-34621) and the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Liquid Container Entities included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

 

(a) See “—Supplemental Pro Forma Information—The Liquid Container Entities” following the Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for pro forma information combining the historical financial statements of the Liquid Container Entities and applying certain pro forma adjustments and reclassifications, resulting in the combined historical Liquid Container Entities amounts presented herein.

   $ 596.9      $ 568.8       $ 1,165.7   
                         

 

  (1) The assumed allocation of proceeds from the Term Loan D will result in approximately $0.5 million of excess cash available to the Company resulting from the Liquid Container Acquisition. The Company expects to utilize these amounts to fund, in part, the cash requirements for the Refinancing transaction resulting in an aggregate use of existing cash of $9.4 million, as shown above.
  (2) Upon the closing of the Liquid Container Acquisition, on September 23, 2010, we entered into a new $913.1 million aggregate principal amount Term Loan D under our existing senior secured credit agreement, maturing on September 23, 2016. The table above assumes that the Term Loan D was issued with a $6.8 million offering discount.
  (3) Represents the total consideration to be paid to holders of outstanding stock of the Liquid Container General Partners and holders of the limited partnership unit interests of Liquid Container, including certain amounts due at closing under Liquid Container’s performance unit plan and the repayment of $193.7 million of the Liquid Container Entities’ outstanding debt and accrued interest. This amount does not give effect to any net working capital adjustments that would have been made had the Liquid Container Acquisition closed on June 30, 2010. Such adjustments may increase or decrease our pro forma cash on hand.
  (4)

We expect that the Refinancing will be treated, for financial reporting purposes, as an extinguishment of the current Term Loan B debt. As such, fees and other amounts paid to the current creditors would be expensed and the fair value of the new Term Loan D debt recorded at fair value in the period in which this transaction occurs. At that time, we intend to complete our analysis of fees paid and differences resulting from the fair value of Term Loan D debt amounts, which may result in additional amounts being recognized within the statements of operations in the period the transaction occurs. For

pro forma purposes, we have assumed that approximately $2.7 million of these fees would be paid to current creditors, and therefore would be expensed. This amount is included in the total loss on debt extinguishment—see note (h).

 

(c) Represents the pro forma adjustments to reflect the Liquid Container Acquisition and preliminary allocation of the purchase price (in millions):

 

     Liquid Container
Acquisition
 

Liquid Container Entities’ purchase price

   $ 568.0   

Less: Repayment of Liquid Container debt

     (193.6 )

Less: Liquid Container accrued interest (1)

     (0.1 )

Less: Liquid Container performance unit plan liability (1)

     (2.6 )
        

Estimated equity purchase price

     371.7   
        

Negative book value (total partners’ deficit) of the Liquid Container Entities as of June 30, 2010

     (4.9 )

Less: Liquid Container historical goodwill

     (19.4 )

Less: Liquid Container historical deferred financing fees

     (0.6 )
        

Purchase price in excess of book value of net assets acquired

   $ 396.6   
        

The following sets forth the allocation of the purchase price in excess of the book value of the net assets acquired (in millions):

  

Inventory (2)

   $ 5.0   

Property, plant and equipment (estimated 10 year life) (3)

     37.0   

Intangible assets—amortizable (see below) (4)

     156.5   

Deferred tax liabilities (see below) (5)

     (15.4 )

Goodwill (6)

     213.5   
        

Total amount allocated

   $ 396.6   
        

 

  (1) Represents a current liability of the Liquid Container Entities to be repaid at closing. Total reduction of accrued expenses and other current liabilities represents the following (in millions):

 

     Liquid Container
Acquisition
 

Payment of Liquid Container accrued interest

   $ (0.1

Payment of Liquid Container performance unit plan liability

     (2.6
        
   $ (2.7
        

 

  (2) Adjustment to reflect the step-up of inventories to estimated fair value, which is determined as the selling price less cost to sell and a normal profit margin, based on management’s preliminary estimation. This estimated step-up is expected to be charged to cost of goods sold in the first quarter after closing as the acquired inventories are sold.
  (3) The pro forma balance sheet includes management’s preliminary fair value adjustments relating to property, plant and equipment based on management’s current knowledge of the Liquid Container Entities and the industry. Since the appraisal process for these assets is not expected to be completed until after the closing of the Transactions, the portion of the purchase price ultimately allocated to property, plant and equipment may be different from this estimate and such difference may be material.

  (4) Represents the adjustment to record the fair value of intangible assets based on management’s preliminary estimates as follows (dollars in millions):

 

     Liquid Container
Acquisition
     Estimated Useful
Life
 

Description

     

Technology

   $ 58.3         10 years   

Customer relationships

     89.9         14 years   

Non-compete agreements

     3.0         2 years   

Trade names

     5.3         3 years   
           

Total preliminary fair value of intangible assets

     156.5      

Less historical intangible assets

     —        
           

Total adjustment to Intangible Assets

   $ 156.5      
           

The preliminary values listed above are based primarily on management’s current knowledge of the Liquid Container Entities, their products and customers and the industry and have been developed considering current product technologies and related revenue, customer retention and sales patterns and existing agreements. Management expects that these estimates may change as more in-depth income contribution and valuation methods are applied once the Liquid Container Acquisition closes, and such differences may be material. Management believes the significant value assigned to technology and customer relationships is indicative of Liquid Container’s proprietary technologies and long-term relationships with its customers, which includes some of the world’s largest branded consumer products companies.

 

  (5) See note (g) below.
  (6) Remaining purchase price that has not been allocated reflects unidentifiable intangible assets acquired, or goodwill. This purchase price allocation is preliminary. The final determination of the purchase price allocation will be based on the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of closing. The purchase price allocation will remain preliminary until management determines these fair values and final transaction costs. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ materially from the preliminary amounts presented in the pro forma financial information. See note (d) below.

 

(d) Represents the net increase in goodwill as follows (in millions):

 

     Liquid Container
Acquisition
 

Estimated goodwill applicable to the Liquid Container Acquisition (per note (b) above)

   $ 213.5   

Less: Liquid Container’s historical goodwill

     (19.4 )
        
   $ 194.1   
        

 

(e) Represents the pro forma adjustment to deferred financing fees, as follows (in millions):

 

     Liquid Container

   $ (5.6 )   $ (0.9 )
                

Long-term portion of debt being repaid

   $ (184.9 )   $ (557.3 )

Long term portion of new debt

     594.3        554.0   
                

Net increase (decrease) in long-term portion of debt

   $ 409.4      $ (3.3 )
                

 

(g) Represents the adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities, including consideration of preliminary purchase price allocation and attributes acquired, as follows (in millions):

 

     Liquid Container
Acquisition
    Refinancing  

Net deferred tax liabilities applicable to Liquid Container after the impact of purchase accounting (1)

   $ 18.7      $ —     

Less: Liquid Container’s historical net deferred tax liabilities

     (3.3 )     —     
                

Increase in deferred tax liabilities recorded at Liquid Container as a result of purchase accounting

     15.4        —     
                

Gross deferred tax asset recorded at GPC

     —          2.2   

Decrease (increase) in valuation allowance

     17.3        (2.2 )
                

Deferred tax asset recognized by GPC as a result of the Transactions (2)

     17.3        —     
                

Pro forma increase (decrease) in net deferred tax liabilities

   $ (1.9 )   $ —     
                

 

  (1) Represents the estimated net deferred tax impact of preliminary purchase accounting adjustments at an assumed pro forma blended domestic tax rate of approximately 38%. Actual deferred tax assets and liabilities will be determined at the closing based on facts existing at the closing date of the Liquid Container Acquisition, and may differ materially from the amounts presented above depending on a number of factors, including amounts allocated to acquired assets, and further assessment of uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.
  (2) GPC currently has a full valuation allowance against its net domestic deferred tax assets, excluding certain deferred tax liabilities. As such, any pro forma tax provision adjustment would be offset by a corresponding movement in valuation allowance. As of June 30, 2010, approximately $17.3 million of Liquid Container’s deferred tax liabilities would be available to offset existing deferred tax assets of GPC upon completion of the Liquid Container Acquisition. As a result, GPC would reduce the valuation allowance by this amount, resulting in a one-time tax benefit in the period the acquisition is completed.

  (2) GPC entered into separate Income Tax Receivable Agreements (“ITRs”) with its pre-IPO stockholders (e.g. Blackstone, management and other stockholders) and with GPC Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of the Graham Family. The agreements provide for the payment by GPC of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that is actually realized (or is deemed to be realized in the case of an early termination or change in control as further defined by the ITRs) as a result of the utilization of net operating losses attributable to periods prior to the IPO, and any increase to the tax basis of the assets of the Company related to (1) the 1998 acquisition of GPC and (2) current and future exchanges by the Graham Family of their limited partnership units for common stock of GPC pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and of certain other tax benefits related to GPC’s entering into the ITRs, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the ITRs.

         $ 19.2   
              

The preliminary values listed above are based primarily on management’s current knowledge of the Liquid Container Entities, their products and customers and the industry, and have been developed considering current product technologies and related revenue, customer retention and sales patterns and existing agreements. Management expects that these estimates may change as more in-depth income contribution and valuation methods are applied once the Liquid Container Acquisition closes, and such differences may be material. Management believes the significant value assigned to technology and customer relationships is indicative of Liquid Container’s proprietary technologies and long-term relationships with its customers, which includes some of the world’s largest branded consumer products companies.

(e) The pro forma statements of operations do not include adjustments to the income tax provision as GPC currently has a full valuation allowance against its net domestic deferred tax assets, excluding certain deferred tax liabilities. As such, any pro forma tax provision adjustments would be offset by a corresponding movement in valuation allowance. The following table illustrates the pro forma activity that impacts the tax provision (in millions):

Supplemental Pro Forma Information—The Liquid Container Entities

Introduction

This supplemental pro forma financial information has been provided to illustrate, on a pro forma basis, the combined historical activity, operations and balances of the Liquid Container Entities, comprised of Liquid Container and the Liquid Container General Partners, which are to be acquired by GPC as part of the Liquid Container Acquisition. The managing general partner, Liquid Container Inc., has consolidated the operations of Liquid Container in its historical financial statements. As GPC is acquiring 100% of the ownership interests in Liquid Container through the direct purchase of all limited partnership interests together with the purchase of all ownership interests in the three general partners, we have adjusted the combined financial statements of these entities to:

 

(a) eliminate dividend income recorded by the non-managing general partners, WCK-L Holdings, Inc. and CPG-L Holdings, Inc., from Liquid Container,

 

(b) eliminate Liquid Container, Inc.’s income attributable to non-controlling interests (such non-controlling interests represent the non-managing general partner interests and limited partnership interests in Liquid Container being acquired by GPC),

 

(c) reclassify the non-controlling interests in Liquid Container Inc.’s shareholders’ equity to controlling interests, as GPC is acquiring 100% of the ownership interests in Liquid Container, and

 

(d) adjust the classification and presentation of the Liquid Container Entities’ accounts to be consistent with those of GPC.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical audited and unaudited financial statements of the Liquid Container Entities included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the previously mentioned consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Liquid Container Entities and the historical financial statements of Graham Packaging Company Inc.

These combined results are not indicative of future results.
