Schedule of Unaudited Pro Forma Information | The following unaudited pro forma information has been presented as if the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2014. This information is based on historical results of operations, adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the acquisitions and factually supportable. Additionally, certain pro forma adjustments have been made to the historical results in order to (i) present them in U.S. dollars; (ii) align accounting periods; (iii) conform their statutory income tax rates to those applied by the Company; (iv) reflect the increase of cost of goods sold, depreciation and amortization from the fair value step-up as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2014. The pro forma information is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2014 (in millions).
