Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
As previously disclosed, on November 5, 2021, McAfee Corp. (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Condor BidCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Condor Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Subsidiary”), pursuant to which Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Subsidiary will cease and the Company will be the surviving corporation in the Merger and will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).
In connection with discussions with prospective lenders for the purposes of financing the Merger, the Company expects to disclose preliminary estimates of unaudited selected financial results and key operating metrics for the three months and year ended December 25, 2021 as set forth below. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months and year ended December 25, 2021 are not yet available. We have provided ranges, rather than specific amounts, for the preliminary estimates of the financial information described below primarily because our financial closing procedures for the three months and year ended December 25, 2021 are not yet complete. Such preliminary estimated ranges reflect management’s current views and may change as a result of our financial closing procedures, final adjustments, management’s review of results, and other developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results are finalized, and are subject to the finalization of financial and accounting review procedures (which have yet to be performed) and should not be viewed as a substitute for our full year audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We caution you that such preliminary estimates are forward looking statements and are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes and that actual results may differ materially from the estimates described below. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for additional information regarding factors that could result in differences between the preliminary estimated ranges of certain of our financial results presented below and the actual financial results and other information we will report for the three months and year ended December 25, 2021. These estimates are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for any future period.

We plan to optimize stranded costs during fiscal 2022. Realization of such stranded costs is subject to significant uncertainties and there can be no assurance that such stranded costs will be realized. |

See Glossary for a definition of stranded costs 2 The above table reconciles PF Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure, to provide an indication of PF Cash Flows. However, investors are cautioned that this measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP or as a measure of the company’s liquidity or actual cash flows. Some of the limitations of this measure are: • It does not include certain working capital accounts that were historically co-mingled with the Enterprise Business, including, for example, accrued employee liabilities and accounts payable, because the periods presented were prior to the divestiture of the Enterprise Business and the allocation of the accounts between the Enterprise Business and Consumer Business cannot be reliably estimated; • It includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure; • It does not reflect the cash payments to service interest, debt principal, or income taxes, and • It is not calculated in a manner that is consistent with how we have historically calculated and reported Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP liquidity measure, and other similarly titled measures are unlikely to be calculated in a similar manner, which limits its usefulness as a comparative measure.
