Exhibit 99.3

CONN’s, INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On December 18, 2023, Conn's entered into an Investment Agreement, among Conn’s Inc. (“Conn’s”, “Company” or “Management”), Franchise Group Newco BHF, LLC (“Newco BHF”), W.S. Badcock LLC (“Badcock”), Freedom VCM Interco Holdings, Inc. (“FVCM” or “Freedom VCM”) and Franchise Group, Inc. (“FGI”). Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Newco BHF contributed to Conn's all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Badcock and FVCM agreed to contribute residual interests in certain receivables currently held by B. Riley Receivables II, LLC (“BRR2”) to Badcock upon the satisfaction of certain indebtedness of BRR2 in the future. In exchange for the contributions, Conn's issued 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock to Newco BHF and FVCM. The Preferred Stock, subject to the terms set forth in the Certificate of Designation, is convertible into an aggregate of approximately 24,500,000 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, which represents 49.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 of the Company (“Common Stock”), outstanding immediately following the closing after giving effect to the issuance of the Preferred Stock and assuming the conversion of the Preferred Stock into Non-Voting Common Stock. The closing of the contributions and the issuance of the Preferred Stock occurred simultaneously with the signing of the Investment Agreement.

Prior to the Transaction, FGI held 100% of the equity interests of Newco BHF, which in turn held 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Badcock (“Badcock Units”). Whereas Freedom VCM held 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of B. Riley Receivables II, LLC (collectively with FGI, Newco BHF and Freedom VCM, the “Sellers”).

The Acquisition will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, with Conn’s representing the accounting acquirer under this guidance. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the Acquisition as if the Acquisition occurred on October 31, 2023 and combines Conn’s historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2023 with Badcock’s September 30, 2023 unaudited, adjusted balance sheet.

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the annual period ended January 31, 2023 combines Conn’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the annual period ended January 31, 2023 with Badcock’s historical audited statement of operations for the annual period ended December 31, 2022 giving effect to the Acquisition as if it occurred on February 1, 2022. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2023 combines Conn’s historical condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2023 with Badcock’s historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the predecessor period January 1 - August 21, 2023 and the successor period August 22, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

The estimated purchase price of the Acquisition will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the Closing Date (December 18, 2023); any excess value of the estimated consideration transferred over the net assets will be recognized as goodwill or bargain purchase. The Company has made a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed using information currently available. The finalization of the Company’s purchase accounting assessment may result in changes to the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information contains certain reclassification adjustments to conform the historical Badcock financial statement presentation to Conn’s financial statement presentation. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information contains adjustments reflecting the Acquisition and accounting policy alignment. The adjustments related to the Transaction are shown in a separate column as “Transaction Adjustments” whereas the adjustments related to the accounting policy alignment are shown in a separate column as “Inventory Policy Alignment.”

Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of October 31, 2023 and unaudited pro


forma combined statements of operations for the annual period ended January 31, 2023 and for the nine months ended October 31, 2023.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with Conn’s consolidated financial statements and related notes and Badcock’s financial statements and related notes. Conn’s financial statements and notes are included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended October 31, 2023 filed on December 18, 2023 and the Form 10-K for the annual period ending January 31, 2023 filed on March 29, 2023. Badcock’s audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2022 and unaudited financial statements and related notes for the predecessor period January 1 - August 21, 2023 and the successor period August 22, 2023 to September 30, 2023 are included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A.

Conn’s and Badcock have different fiscal year ends as of January 31 and December 31, respectively. Given the difference between Conn’s and Badcock’s interim and annual periods is less than one quarter, no adjustment for different fiscal years is required to be presented within these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information and related notes are presented for illustrative purposes only, and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or financial condition would have been had the Acquisition occurred on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the combined company's future results of operations or financial position. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies, or any revenue, tax, or other synergies that may result from the Acquisition.

CONN’S, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented to illustrate the pro forma effects of the Acquisition. Conn’s historical information is derived from Conn’s audited, condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2023, condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2023 and the audited consolidated statement of operations for the annual period ended January 31, 2023, all of which were prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Badcock’s historical financial information is derived from its unaudited statement of operations for the predecessor period January 1 - August 21, 2023 and the successor period August 22, 2023 to September 30, 2023, unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, and audited statement of operations for the annual period ended December 31, 2022, all of which were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations illustrate the effects of the Acquisition as if it had been completed on February 1, 2022, and the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet reflects effects of the Acquisition as if it had been completed on October 31, 2023. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on estimates of the purchase consideration and estimates of fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase price allocations will be based on estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date of the Acquisition and could result in material changes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

Conn’s will apply FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements for purposes of measuring the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in determining the final purchase price allocations. Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date". This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers unrelated to Conn’s in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations (“Topic 805”), where Conn’s is the accounting acquirer of Badcock. Under Topic 805, acquisition-related costs (such as investment banking, legal service, financing-related items, insurance, and other advisory fees) incurred by and on behalf of Conn’s are not part of the allocation of the consideration transferred but are part of the transaction accounting adjustments for the Acquisition and not a separate material transaction. Adjustments were made for transaction costs to the extent that they were incurred or expected to be incurred and not already recognized in the historical financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma combined information is preliminary, presented solely for informational purposes and does not purport to represent what the combined statements of operations or balance sheet would have been for the periods or dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the combined future consolidated results of operations or financial position. The actual results reported in periods following the Acquisition may differ significantly from those reflected in these unaudited pro forma combined financial information presented herein for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma adjustments and actual amounts, cost savings or associated costs to achieve such savings from operating efficiencies, synergies, debt refinancing, or other restructuring that may result from the Acquisition, but for which are not reflected herein. Any non-recurring items related to the Acquisition were reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information as they will not recur beyond twelve months after the acquisition.

2. Description of the Acquisition

On December 18, 2023, Conn’s entered into an Investment Agreement with NewCo BHF, Badcock, FVCM and FGI in which Badcock became a wholly owned subsidiary of Conn’s and all residual interest in certain receivables held by BRR2 were transferred to Conn’s. At the Closing of the Transaction, the Company issued 25.5 million shares of Convertible Preferred Stock valued at $62.2 million and paid $7.0 million in transactions costs on behalf of Badcock, resulting in total consideration transferred of $69.2 million.

At the time of issuance of these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, the determination of purchase consideration as defined in ASC Topic 805 is preliminary. See Note 4 below for further details on the estimated purchase consideration.



3. Adjustments to Badcock’s Financial Statements

The adjustments reflected in Badcock’s historical unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, unaudited statement of operations for the predecessor period January 1 - August 21, 2023 and the successor period August 22, 2023 to September 30, 2023 and audited statement of operations for the annual period ended December 31, 2022 were made to align Badcock’s accounting policies and presentation with that of Conn’s. The impact of the Freedom Acquisition on August 21, 2023 as discussed in the Badcock unaudited interim financial statements has not been reflected as a pro forma adjustment as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2022.

The Company identified certain reclassifications and accounting policy alignment adjustments that were necessary to conform Badcock’s financial information presentation to that of Conn’s. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, Badcock’s historical balance sheet and statement of operations have been adjusted to reflect these reclassifications and accounting policy alignment adjustments below. Management’s assessment is ongoing and, at the time of preparing the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, other than the adjustments and reclassifications made herein, management is not aware of any other material differences.

4. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The table below represents the preliminary purchase price allocation for Badcock based on estimates, assumptions, valuations and other analyses as of the Closing Date, which have not been finalized in order to make a definitive allocation. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments to allocate the merger consideration will remain preliminary until Conn’s management finalizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and therefore, calculation of goodwill (bargain purchase), are dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have not yet been completed and could differ materially from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect a purchase price of approximately $69.27 million, determined as of December 18, 2023, which consists of the following (in thousands, except exchange ratio and price):

n.Earnings per share

Basic and diluted pro forma weighted average shares outstanding were increased by the 24.5 million shares issued as part of the purchase consideration. The pro forma net income increased for the annual period ending January 31, 2023 mainly due to the bargain purchase gain recognized, resulting in an increase in the basic and diluted pro forma earnings per share. The net loss and amount of weighted average shares outstanding increased for the nine months ended October 31, 2023 due to the inclusion of both Conn’s and Badcock’s net losses and adjustments discussed above. Due to pro forma net loss incurred for the interim period, preferred shares were excluded from the calculation because they are not contractually obligated to participate in losses. The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share decreased for the interim period. The following table reflects the corresponding pro forma adjustments, in thousands, except per share amounts:
