Q&A 28 Creating sustainable food, feed and fuel ingredients for a growing population

Creating sustainable food, feed and fuel ingredients for a growing population 29 The unaudited pro forma financial information (“Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information”) presented in the Financial Section pages of this presentation was prepared by Darling management and is based upon (i) Darling audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 28, 2013, respectively, (ii) Darling unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 28, 2014, respectively, (iii) VION Ingredients audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 as prepared under Dutch GAAP, but including a US GAAP reconciliation footnote, (iv) VION Ingredients unaudited condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively as prepared under Dutch GAAP, but including a US GAAP reconciliation footnote; (vi) the Rothsay audited statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the related statement of net revenues and direct costs and operating expenses for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and (vii) Rothsay unaudited statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the related statement of net revenues and direct costs and operating expenses for the nine months ended September 28, 2013 and the six months ended June 29, 2013. Darling is presenting the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information for informational purposes only. Darling believes that the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information was prepared in good faith and on a reasonable basis based on the best information available at the time of its preparation. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, however, is not fact. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information was not intended to be used as predictive of future performance. It was not prepared in compliance with the requirements of GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding pro forma information, or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of pro forma financial information. Darling’s independent public auditor has not audited or reviewed the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information. The inclusion of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation that Darling or any of its officers, affiliates, advisors, or representatives consider the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information to be a reliable prediction of future events or results, or a representation that actual results would have been comparable had the Transactions occurred on the dates indicated, and the information should not be relied upon as such. Darling acquired Rothsay on October 28, 2013 and VION Ingredients on January 7, 2014. Neither Rothsay nor VION Ingredients had been operated as a stand-alone business prior to the respective acquisitions, but rather as divisions of their respective parent entities. Management does not believe that the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is necessarily indicative of future performance of Darling, and in fact, actual performance may differ significantly (either better or worse) from the performance indicated in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information due to (i) the challenges inherent in integrating the businesses of Darling, Rothsay and VION Ingredients, (ii) changes to Darling’s operations and strategy that may have been implemented or may be implemented in the future as a result of the Transactions or otherwise, and (iii) numerous other potential risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K of Darling International Inc. (predecessor by name change to Darling) for the year ended December 28, 2013, which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2014. Investors are cautioned not to rely on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information as a measure of future performance. There can be no assurance that the results indicated in Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information would have been realized had the Transactions taken place on the dates assumed in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information or that actual results for the combined entity will not be materially different. Pro forma information is inherently reliable and should not be used as the basis for an investment decision. Darling does not undertake to revise or update the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, even if some or all of the assumptions utilized in preparing the information proves to be wrong. ASSUMPTIONS The key assumptions that were used to prepare the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information includes, but is not limited to the following: 1. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is not intended to and in fact does not comply with Regulation S-X Article 3; 2. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information assumes that the acquisitions of Darling Ingredients International and Rothsay occurred on January 1, 2012, and have been presented herein on a combined basis. Thus, the presentation effectively combines the historic financial information (unless as otherwise noted below) of the respective businesses and does not eliminate any net sales and the profit related thereto for any transactions between Darling Ingredients Inc. and Darling Ingredients International (formerly known as VION Ingredients), or Darling Ingredients Inc. and Rothsay for periods prior to the respective acquisition dates; 3. For periods prior to January 7, 2014, the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information for Darling Ingredients International is based on the company’s underlying Dutch GAAP financial statements, which have been converted to US GAAP taking into account all known and material Dutch – US GAAP adjustments; 4. For periods prior to January 7, 2014, the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information for Darling Ingredients International does not reflect the application of purchase accounting in accordance with ASC 805 and hence, the recognition of Darling Ingredients International’s assets and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values. Thus, there is no non-cash inventory step-up adjustment for any financial period presented that excludes the six months ended June 28, 2014; 5. For periods prior to October 28, 2013, the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information for Rothsay is based on the Rothsay statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the related statement of net revenues and direct costs and operating expenses, which were prepared under US GAAP; 6. For periods prior to October 28, 2013, the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information for Rothsay does not reflect the application of purchase accounting in accordance with ASC 805 and hence, the recognition of Rothsay’s assets and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values. Thus, there is no non-cash inventory step-up adjustment for any financial period presented that excludes the three months ended December 28, 2013; 7. No procedures were performed by management to ensure that the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information for Darling Ingredients International or Rothsay for the Second Quarter 2013 reflects an appropriate cut-off with respect to sales transactions, expense accruals, payroll, or other similar income statement items that could have an impact on the net sales and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA presented herein; 8. Prior to the acquisition by Darling Ingredients Inc. neither Darling Ingredients International Inc. nor Rothsay prepared segment financial information in accordance with segments reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information reflected herein; therefore, the allocation of SG&A costs to the respective segments for periods prior to the respective acquisition were based upon the allocation methodology utilized for Q2 2014; 9. The foreign currency translation rate for net sales and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA was based on the average rate for each of the respective periods presented.
