Exhibit 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of Sirius XM Radio Inc. and Subsidiaries, combines (i) the historical consolidated balance sheets of Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Sirius”) and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (“Holdings” and its subsidiaries together with Holdings, “XM”), giving effect to the merger of Holdings and Vernon Merger Corporation (the “merger”), pursuant to which Holdings became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sirius, as well as the refinancing of a substantial portion of XM’s existing indebtedness and raising of certain additional liquidity, which we refer to as the “Refinancing Transactions” as if they had been consummated on June 30, 2008 and (ii) the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007, giving effect to the merger and the Refinancing Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2007. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the merger, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. Intercompany transactions have not been eliminated as the preliminary estimates are not material to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the merger had been completed at the dates indicated. It may be necessary to further reclassify XM’s financial statements to conform to those classifications that are determined by the combined company to be most appropriate. While some reclassifications of prior periods have been included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, further reclassifications may be necessary.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared using the purchase method of accounting with Sirius treated as the acquiring entity. Accordingly, consideration paid by Sirius to complete the merger with XM will be allocated to XM’s assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of completion of the merger. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have not progressed to a stage where there is sufficient information to make a definitive allocation. Additionally, a final determination of the fair value of XM’s assets and liabilities will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets of XM that exist as of the date of completion of the merger. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price adjustments are preliminary, subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed and have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented below. Sirius estimated the fair value of XM’s assets and liabilities based on discussions with XM’s management, due diligence and information presented in public filings. Certain valuations have not been performed on tangible and intangible assets and liabilities such as property and equipment and deferred revenue and therefore an estimate of fair value is not included as a pro forma adjustment. Final valuations will be performed. Increases or decreases in the fair value of relevant balance sheet amounts including property and equipment, deferred revenue, debt and intangibles will result in adjustments to the balance sheet and/or statement of operations. There can be no assurance that the final determination will not result in material changes.
These pro forma results reflect the impact of the following Refinancing Transactions:
  the repurchase of the $600 million aggregate principle amount of 9.75% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “9.75% Notes”) of XM Satellite Radio Inc. (“XM Inc.”) for cash,
 
  the repurchase of $200 million aggregate principle amount of Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2103 (the “Senior Floating Rate Notes”) of XM Inc. for cash,
 
  amendment of the indenture for Holdings’1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009 (the “1.75% Notes”) to increase the interest rate to 10% per annum in return for the noteholders agreeing not to assert any claim that the merger constitutes a Fundamental Change under the existing indenture,
 
  issuance by XM Inc. of $550 million aggregate principle amount of 7% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “New Exchangeable Notes”),

 


 

  issuance by XM Inc. of $778.5 million aggregate principal amount of 13% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “13% Senior Notes”), the debt balance of which is reflected herein net of original issue discount of approximately $78.4 million, and
 
  payment of $309.4 million for XM’s transponder repurchase obligation, for both debt and equity holders of a consolidated variable interest entity.
     Sirius expects to incur significant costs associated with integrating Sirius’ and XM’s businesses. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect the cost of any integration activities or benefits that may result from synergies that may be derived from any integration activities. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements do not reflect one-time fees and expenses of $25 million payable by Sirius as a result of the merger or payments contemplated by the Consent Decrees.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements present the pro forma consolidated financial position and results of operations of the combined company based upon the historical financial statements of Sirius and XM, after giving effect to the merger and adjustments described in these footnotes, and are intended to reflect the impact of the merger on us.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not give effect to any cost savings, revenue synergies or restructuring costs which may result from the integration of our and XM’s operations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects the merger and the Refinancing Transactions as if they were completed on June 30, 2008 and includes pro forma adjustments for our preliminary valuations of certain intangible assets. The pro forma debt balances do not include $78.4 million of original issue discount relating to the 13% Senior Notes. These adjustments are subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations reflect the merger and the Refinancing Transactions as if they had been completed on January 1, 2007.
The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to identifiable net assets acquired and the excess purchase price to goodwill. The purchase price allocation included within these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is based upon a purchase price of approximately $5.7 billion. This amount was derived from the estimated number of shares of our common stock to be issued of approximately 1.5 billion, based on the outstanding shares of XM common stock, preferred stock and restricted stock on June 30, 2008 and the exchange ratio of 4.6 per each XM share, at a price of $3.79 per share, the average closing price of our shares of common stock for the two days prior to, including and two days subsequent to the public announcement of the merger. The actual number of newly issued shares of our common stock delivered in connection with the merger was 1,436,709,642, which were based upon 312,328,183 of XM shares issued and outstanding when the merger closed. The purchase price also includes the estimated fair value of warrants, restricted stock and stock options issued as of the closing date of the merger in exchange for similar securities of XM. XM options, restricted stock and warrants were exchanged for stock options, restricted stock and warrants in us and the price per share was adjusted for the 4.6 exchange ratio. Vested stock options, restricted stock and warrants issued by us in exchange for options, restricted stock and warrants held by employees and directors of XM were considered part of the purchase price. Accordingly, the purchase price included an estimated fair value of stock options, restricted stock and warrants of approximately $221 million.
The fair value of the Sirius options that were issued in exchange for XM options was estimated by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market assumptions. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective market assumptions, including expected stock price volatility, which if changed can materially affect fair value estimates. The more significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value include volatility of 58 percent, an expected life of 1-6 years based on the age of the original award, and a risk-free interest rate of 3.36%.

     Upon completion of the fair value assessment after the merger, we anticipate that the ultimate price allocation will differ from the preliminary assessment outlined above. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill.

As a result of the merger, XM is required to make an offer to repurchase the transponders of our XM-4 satellite in accordance with the terms of a sale-leaseback transaction. The expected payout to settle this obligation is $76,257 which is comprised of a minority interest payable of $60,200 at June 30, 2008 and a loss on the redemption of $16,057.
At June 30, 2008, there was $31,411 of accrued interest expense.

    3,064       437,000       433,936     $ 381,000 - $495,000  

 


 

The fair value of XM’s FCC license was based on the Greenfield Method. The key assumptions in building the model included projected revenues and estimated start up costs, which were based primarily on the operating histories of XM and Sirius. The fair value of XM’s trademarks was estimated based on the Relief from Royalty Method. The royalties relieved for the use of the XM trademarks were computed by multiplying the projected revenues by a hypothetical royalty rate. The resulting royalties relieved represent the cost saved by XM from not having to license the trademarks from another owner. The estimation of a hypothetical royalty rate was based on comparable licensing agreements and the perceived impact the trademarks have on the expected cash flow of XM. The fair values of XM’s subscriber and advertising relationships were based on projected discounted cash flows, which were derived from projected revenues after adjusting for attrition rates based on XM’s historical experience. Each of these calculations included an estimated discount rate which incorporates the difficulties and uncertainties associated with the satellite radio industry.
The final purchase price allocations may result in different allocations for tangible and intangible assets than presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, and those differences could be material.
l. Residual goodwill created from the merger (See Note 1).
m. Eliminate the historical stockholders’ deficit accounts of XM at June 30, 2008.
n. Reflect the issuance of 4.6 shares of our common stock for each share of XM restricted shares outstanding as follows (in thousands except for share data):

  $ 1,437  
Balance to capital in excess of par value
  $ 5,443,693  
q. Reflect the fair value of XM’s employees’ stock options, warrants and restricted stock. The fair value of XM’s options to be exchanged for Sirius options was estimated using a Black Scholes pricing model. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price and volatility, that when changed, can materially affect fair value estimates. The more significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value include volatility of 58 percent, an expected life of 1-6 years based on the age of the original award, and a risk-free interest rate of 3.36%.
r. Reflect the revaluation of XM’s unvested stock options and restricted stock as of June 30, 2008. The original valuation of these awards, were determined by XM at the original grant dates. Upon completion of the merger, these awards will be revalued using current market assumptions. The fair value of these awards approximates $61 million at June 30, 2008. Annual compensation expense related to these awards is expected to approximate the historic compensation expense.

 


 

Total compensation expense for these awards for the period ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $30 million. For unvested stock options, the average remaining vesting period is 1.51 years and the average remaining contractual life is 5.63 years. For unvested restricted stock awards, the average remaining vesting period is 1.9 years. Pursuant to FAS 123(R), unvested awards are not considered a component of purchase price and are solely recognized in compensation expense in future periods. $61 million is a reduction of additional paid-in capital.
s. Reclassify transaction related costs from Other assets to Goodwill.
