What is Pro Forma?
Financial projections or statements that show expected future performance based on assumptions and estimates, rather than historical data.
Understanding Pro Forma
Pro forma financial statements are forward-looking financial projections that estimate future income, expenses, and cash flows based on assumptions and market analysis. Unlike historical financial statements, pro forma statements project what financial performance is expected to be.
For outdoor hospitality projects, pro forma statements are essential for feasibility studies, loan applications, and investment analysis. They typically include projected income statements, cash flow statements, and balance sheets for 5-10 years.
Pro forma statements help investors, lenders, and developers understand the expected financial performance of a project and make informed decisions. They're based on market analysis, competitive research, and industry benchmarks.

Examples of Pro Forma
- •A developer planning a 25-unit glamping resort creates a 5-year pro forma showing: Year 1 projects $450K revenue at 60% occupancy, growing to $850K by Year 5 at 80% occupancy. Operating expenses start at $180K and increase to $300K as the property scales. This pro forma helps secure financing by demonstrating expected cash flow and profitability trajectory.
- •An investor evaluating an RV park acquisition uses pro forma projections to estimate performance: Based on market research, the 100-site park could generate $750K annual revenue with $350K operating expenses, resulting in $400K NOI. The pro forma includes 3 scenarios (conservative, base, optimistic) to show different outcomes based on occupancy and rate assumptions.
- •A campground expansion project includes pro forma financials showing how adding 30 new RV sites would impact revenue. The pro forma projects construction costs of $450K, new revenue of $180K annually, and additional operating expenses of $45K, demonstrating a positive ROI and payback period to justify the investment.
