Exhibit 99.3
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On July 1, 2021, Guild Holdings Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “Guild”) and Guild Mortgage Company LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to a definitive merger agreement (the “merger agreement”), dated May 10, 2021, by and among the Company, Guild Mortgage Company LLC, Project Regal Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Residential Mortgage Services Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings” or “RMS”), and RMS Shareholder Representative, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “acquisition”).

As a result of the acquisition, Project Regal Merger Sub Inc. merged with and into Holdings in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement and the Delaware General Corporation Law. Accordingly, upon consummation of the acquisition, Project Regal Merger Sub, Inc. ceased to exist and Holdings became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guild Mortgage Company LLC.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition as if it had been completed on June 30, 2021 and was prepared using the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Guild and RMS as of June 30, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021 give effect to the acquisition as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income include adjustments that give effect to events that are directly attributable to the acquisition, that are expected to have a continuing impact, and that are factually supportable. The notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information describe the pro forma amounts and adjustments. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings or integration costs.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are being presented for illustrative purposes only and, therefore, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that might have been achieved had the transaction occurred as of an earlier date, nor are they necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be achieved in the future.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with Guild’s audited historical consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 24, 2021, Guild's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included in its Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 13, 2021, as well as RMS's audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and RMS’s unaudited condensed financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 included in Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

GUILD HOLDINGS COMPANY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, and the unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2020 and six months ended June 30, 2021, presented herein were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition as if it had been completed on June 30, 2021 and combines the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Guild and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from RMS. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2020 and six months ended June 30, 2021 give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020.

Certain financial information of RMS, as presented in its historical consolidated financial statements, has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation in Guild’s consolidated financial statements for the purpose of preparing the pro forma financial information. Refer to Note 3 for explanations of these reclassifications.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited combined financial statements and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial condition ore results of operations had the acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings or integration costs. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or results of operations of the combined company. The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and information available as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. Certain valuations are currently in process. Actual results may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and the differences may be material.

Accounting Policies

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies of Guild, including to align with the Company’s policy of accounting for leases under ASC 842 as well as certain reclassifications (see Note 3). Following the acquisition, the combined company will conduct a review of accounting policies of RMS in an effort to determine if differences in accounting policies require further reclassification of assets or liabilities or reclassification of results of operations to conform to Guild’s accounting policies and classifications. As a result of that review, the combined company may identify differences in the accounting policies of the companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

Note 2 - Transaction and Purchase Price Consideration

On July 1, 2021, Guild acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of RMS pursuant to the merger agreement.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $265.5 million. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. These estimates of fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, pending completion of a valuation, and thus are subject to revisions that may result in adjustment to the values presented below:
5


Amount
Cash paid at acquisition close on July 1, 2021$185,786 
Fair value of Guild’s Class A common stock issued 15,787 
Estimated fair value of earn-out63,956 
Total allocable purchase price$265,529 
Fair value of assets acquired
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash$84,746 
Mortgage loans held for sale464,254 
Acquired intangible assets44,600 
Right of use assets11,384 
Other37,117 
Total assets acquired$642,101 
Fair value of liabilities assumed
Warehouse lines of credit$431,181 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses29,004 
Lease liabilities12,364 
Deferred taxes4,596 
Other1,538 
Total liabilities assumed$478,683 
Fair value of net assets acquired163,418 
Goodwill102,111 
Total preliminary purchase price allocation$265,529 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, goodwill will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. In the event management determines that the value of goodwill is impaired, the combined company will record an expense in earnings for the amount of the impairment during the period in which the determination is made. Goodwill recorded in the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.
