Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of A. H. Belo Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) were derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2013, was adjusted to reflect to the disposition of the assets and operations related to the sale of The Press‑Enterprise to Freedom Communications Holdings, Inc. on November 21, 2013, as though the disposition occurred on September 30, 2013. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, include pro forma adjustments that reflect the sale of the press equipment and the five-story office building which occurred in the third quarter of 2013, and the disposition of the assets and operations related to the sale of The Press‑Enterprise on November 21, 2013. These financial statements were prepared as though the disposition occurred on January 1, 2010.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are furnished for informational purposes only and do not purport to reflect the Company’s financial position and results of operations had the dispositions occurred on the dates as indicated above. Further, these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future financial position and future results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2013, reported the assets and operations related to The Press‑Enterprise as a discontinued operation of A. H. Belo Corporation. Accordingly, a proforma statement of operation is not required for this period as net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to A. H. Belo Corporation excludes the effect of the transactions as described in Item 2.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
