Pro forma eps

reply......................

beatallicaI understand that in merger-modelling pro-forma eps is ratio of "new" Net Income : "new" number of fully diluted shares

As for the numerator, what adjustments need to be made to the NI of the two companies to come to this figure?

For the denominator, I would imagine that after the deal, the equity of one of the company will be wiped off and (considering its an all cash deal), the number of shares will be the same as the number of shares of the acquiring company pre-deal?

Thanks you very much.

well what year are you doing this for? basically, the following are the basic adjustments: cost and revenue syngergies (change from year to year), interest expense (if debt was used in the acquisition)

also, the number of shares outstanding changes from pre deal to the post deal number if shares are issued are part of the acquisition price.
