Exhibit 99.3

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

On November 24, 2025 (the “Closing”), Zeta Global Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “Zeta”) completed its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of the enterprise business (“Marigold’s Enterprise Business”) of Marigold Group, Inc. (“MGI”), Campaign Monitor Europe UK Ltd. (“CMEUK”), and Selligent Holdings Limited (“Selligent Holdings” together with MGI and CMEUK, the “Sellers”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement dated as of September 27, 2025. The transaction included the purchase of all the equity interests of certain subsidiaries of the Sellers engaged in Marigold’s Enterprise Business, in exchange for aggregate consideration of up to $302.8 million, subject to customary adjustments.

The transaction proceeds consist of (i) $99.0 million of cash and 5,329,070 newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock of Zeta, par value $0.001 per share (“Zeta Stock”), delivered at the Closing and (ii) seller notes (the “Seller Notes”) that are payable within three months of the Closing for an aggregate amount equal to up to $111.8 million (up to $50.0 million of which will be paid in cash, with the remaining paid, at Zeta’s election, in cash or newly issued shares of Zeta Stock).

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (“unaudited pro forma information”) is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Acquisition based on the historical financial statements and accounting records of Zeta and Marigold’s Enterprise Business after giving effect to the Acquisition and Acquisition-related pro forma adjustments as described in the notes below. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing pro forma information prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, combines the audited consolidated statements of operations of Zeta and the unaudited condensed combined statements of operations of Marigold’s Enterprise Business for the same period. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, combines the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations of Zeta and the unaudited condensed combined statements of operations of Marigold’s Enterprise Business for the same period. These combined statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, are presented after giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2024, the first day of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, combines the condensed unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Zeta and the unaudited condensed combined balance sheet of Marigold’s Enterprise Business, giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2025.

The unaudited pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the:

accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma information;
audited consolidated financial statements of Zeta as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes included in Zeta’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024;
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Zeta as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the related notes included in Zeta’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025;
audited combined financial statements of Marigold’s Enterprise Business as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes, included in Exhibit 99.1 of this Amendment No 1 on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”); and
unaudited condensed combined financial statements of Marigold’s Enterprise Business as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and the related notes, included in Exhibit 99.2 of this Amendment.

 

The Company and Marigold’s Enterprise Business have differing fiscal years. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31 and, prior to the Closing, Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s fiscal year end was June 30. The unaudited condensed combined statement of operations of Marigold’s Enterprise Business for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2024 is derived from Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s audited combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2025, adjusted to remove activity for the period of January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025 and to include activity for the period of January 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024 which is derived from Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s historical accounting records; and the unaudited condensed combined statement of operations of Marigold’s Enterprise Business for the nine months September 30, 2025 is derived from Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s unaudited condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025, adjusted to include activity for the period of January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025 which is derived from Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s historical accounting records.

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared by the Company using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Zeta is the acquirer for the Acquisition for accounting purposes. Accordingly, consideration transferred by Zeta to complete the Acquisition has been allocated, on a preliminary basis, to identifiable assets and liabilities of Marigold’s Enterprise Business based on estimated fair values. The Company’s estimates and assumptions used in assessing fair value are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. The pro forma transaction accounting adjustments are based on the assumptions and information available at the time of the filing of this Amendment. Differences between the preliminary estimates reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the final acquisition accounting will likely occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information and the combined company’s future statement of operations and financial position. The Company will finalize the acquisition accounting within the required measurement period, which may be up to one year from the Closing.

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been presented for informational and illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of the combined company following the Acquisition. The actual results of operations may differ materially from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

There were no transactions between Zeta and Marigold’s Enterprise Business during the periods presented in the pro forma information. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not give effect to the potential impact of any anticipated benefits from cost savings or synergies that may result from the Acquisition or to any future integration costs.

Historical fiscal periods are not aligned under this presentation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical combined statements of operations and combined balance sheet of Marigold’s Enterprise Business to align their presentation in the pro forma information to the Company’s presentation. Refer to “Note 4. Marigold’s Enterprise Business Balance Sheet and Reclassifications” and “Note 5. Marigold’s Enterprise Business Statement of Operations and Reclassifications” for further information.

NOTE 2. Basis of Presentation

 

Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (“unaudited pro forma information”) has been prepared in accordance with Article 11, Pro Forma Financial Information, under Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and is for informational and illustrative purposes only.

The Company uses the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). This standard requires that the total cost of an acquisition be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely to provide unaudited pro forma financial information. The Company will determine the final purchase price allocation after thoroughly assessing the fair value of Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. As a result, the final acquisition transaction accounting adjustments could differ materially from the pro forma transaction accounting adjustments presented herein. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as compared with the information shown herein would also change the portion of the purchase price allocable to goodwill.

Acquisition-related expenses are expensed when incurred. The Company also holds back a portion of the purchase price and the unpaid amounts of these liabilities are included in the acquisition-related liabilities on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. The pro forma adjustments are based upon the assumptions and information available at the time of the preparation of this Amendment and may be subject to change.

The unaudited pro forma information does not give effect to the potential impact of any anticipated benefits from cost savings or synergies that may result from the Acquisition or to any future integration costs. The unaudited pro forma information does not attempt to project the future operating results or financial position of the combined company following the Acquisition. The pro forma transaction accounting adjustments represent management’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. There were no transactions between Zeta and Marigold’s Enterprise Business during the periods presented in the pro forma information.

Accounting Period Presented

The Company and Marigold’s Enterprise Business have differing fiscal years. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31 and, prior to the Closing, Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s fiscal year end was June 30. The unaudited condensed combined statement of operations of Marigold’s Enterprise Business for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2024 is derived from Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s audited combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2025, adjusted to remove activity for the period of January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025 and to include activity for the period of January 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024 which is derived from Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s historical accounting records; and the unaudited condensed combined statement of operations of Marigold’s Enterprise Business for the nine months September 30, 2025 is derived from Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s unaudited condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025, adjusted to include activity for the period of January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025 which is derived from Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s historical accounting records.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, combines the audited consolidated statements of operations of Zeta and the unaudited condensed combined statements of operations of Marigold’s Enterprise Business for the same period. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, combines the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations of Zeta and the unaudited condensed combined statements of operations of Marigold’s Enterprise Business for the same period. These combined statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, are presented after giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, combines the condensed unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Zeta and the unaudited condensed combined balance sheet of Marigold’s Enterprise Business, giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2025.

Accounting policies

At the time of preparing the unaudited pro forma financial information, the Company is not aware of any accounting policy differences requiring adjustment that would have a material impact. Zeta management’s assessment of Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s accounting policies is ongoing, and, upon completion, further differences may be identified that could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma information. The accounting policies used in the presentation of the unaudited pro forma information are those disclosed in Zeta’s consolidated audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain reclassifications of amounts contained in Marigold’s Enterprise Business’s historical financial statements have been made to conform to Zeta’s presentation. Refer to “Note 4. Marigold’s Enterprise Business Balance Sheet and Reclassifications” and “Note 5. Marigold’s Enterprise Business Statement of Operations and Reclassifications” for further information.

The adjustments to the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the deferred tax effects of temporary differences arising from the incremental differences between book and tax bases created by the preliminary purchase price allocation, as well as the reversal of the acquired United States and United Kingdom deferred tax assets and liabilities that are not realizable on a more likely than not basis based on the available evidence of the combined businesses of the Company and Marigold’s Enterprise Business. The Company estimated these deferred tax adjustments using statutory income tax rates by jurisdiction applicable to the combined company.

The effective tax rate of the combined company could differ significantly, either higher or lower, depending on post-acquisition activities, including cash requirements and the geographic mix of taxable income. These estimates are preliminary and subject to change upon the final determination of the fair values of the acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities.

(g)
