UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION - Form 8-K

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presented below consists of an unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and for the three years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presented below has been derived from the historical annual and interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Vector Group Ltd. (the "Company") and the historical annual and interim condensed combined consolidated financial statements of Douglas Elliman Inc ("Douglas Elliman"). The Company's financial information is based on its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 as well as its Form 10-K for the annual period ended December 31, 2020. Douglas Elliman's financial information is based on its Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on December 7, 2021 (Reg. No. 333-261523), as subsequently amended on December 10, 2021 (the "Douglas Elliman Registration Statement").

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared to reflect adjustments to the Company's historical financial information to depict the accounting under GAAP for the following transaction accounting adjustments (the "Pro Forma Transactions"):

The contribution by the Company to Douglas Elliman of all the assets and liabilities that comprise the real estate services and PropTech investment business previously owned and operated by the Company through its New Valley LLC subsidiary, together with approximately $200 million cash and cash equivalents, net of each of the current and long-term portion of "Notes payable and other obligations," of Douglas Elliman; and

The Company distributed its entire interest in Douglas Elliman to its holders of common stock (including common stock underlying outstanding stock option awards and restricted stock awards). Each holder of Vector common stock (including each holder of outstanding Vector stock option awards and restricted stock awards) received a distribution of one share of Douglas Elliman common stock for every two shares of Vector common stock held or underlying Vector stock option awards and restricted stock awards on the record date; and

The impact of, and transactions contemplated by, the Distribution Agreement, Tax Disaffiliation Agreement, Transition Services Agreement and Employee Matters Agreement, as described under the heading "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions - Relationship Between Vector and Us After the Distribution" in the Douglas Elliman Registration Statement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 has been prepared giving effect to the Pro Forma Transactions as if the Pro Forma Transactions had occurred as of September 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and for the three years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 have been prepared giving effect to the Pro Forma Transactions as if the Pro Forma Transactions had occurred on January 1, 2018.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presented below should be read in conjunction with the Company's historical annual and interim condensed consolidated financial statements and corresponding notes thereto included elsewhere in its quarterly and annual reports.

The pro forma financial information does not purport to show the results that would have occurred had such transactions been completed as of the date and for the period presented or which may occur in the future. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information constitute forward-looking information and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands)

(a)

Reflects cash contributed by the Company to effect the capitalization of Douglas Elliman in connection with the transaction based on cash balances at September 30, 2021. The actual cash contributed by the Company to effect the capitalization of Douglas Elliman for the spin-off was approximately $33,341, which is less than $53,696 shown as a result of cash generated by Douglas Elliman between September 30 and December 29, 2021. Also reflects $13,145 used to satisfy payroll tax withholdings of holders of the Company's equity awards (stock option and restricted stock) who received Douglas Elliman stock in connection with the spin-off.

(b)

Reflects the change in the provision for income tax expense as a result of the spin-off of Douglas Elliman as a stand-alone corporation. Prior to the spin-off, the Company's provision included its distributable share of income from Douglas Elliman Realty, LLC which was taxed as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes. The provision for income taxes was calculated applying a blended statutory tax rate of 28.69% to Douglas Elliman Realty's income before tax, adjusted for permanent items. The deferred tax impact from changes in Douglas Elliman's temporary differences was also calculated using a blended statutory tax rate of 28.69%. These rates reflect the blended statutory tax rates in the U.S. as well as the states in which Douglas Elliman Realty, LLC operates. The change resulted in a net income tax receivable position. Therefore, the Company reclassified the amount to income tax receivable.

(c)

Reflects the transfer of differences in financial statement carrying value and income tax basis in the assets of Douglas Elliman.

(d)

Reflects the assumption by the Company of the contingent liability associated with the acquisition of the 29.41% non-controlling interest of Douglas Elliman Realty, LLC in December 2018. The amount represents the change in the fair value of the contingent liability. In connection with the spin-off, the Company assumed such liability.

(e)

Represents the net impact of cash contributed to Douglas Elliman in connection with the transaction as well as adjustments for income taxes and the assumption of the contingent liability associated with the acquisition of the 29.41% non-controlling interest of Douglas Elliman Realty, LLC in December 2018.

(f)

Amounts allocated reflect management's estimate of expenses of the Company's corporate headquarters operations that will be paid by Douglas Elliman, as well as reimbursements received pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement between the Company and Douglas Elliman, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 21, 2021.

(g)

Includes $4,300 associated with the acceleration of non-cash stock-based compensation from non-vested restricted stock awards as the date of the Spin-off in accordance ASC 718.

(h)

Represents the non-controlling interest in Douglas Elliman Realty, LLC, which was acquired by the Company in December 2018.
