Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On February 28, 2017, Parker-Hannifin Corporation ("Parker" or the "Company") completed its previously announced acquisition of CLARCOR Inc. ("Clarcor"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of December 1, 2016, among Parker, Parker Eagle Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parker (“Merger Sub”), and Clarcor, Merger Sub merged with and into Clarcor (the “Merger”), with Clarcor surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parker.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Clarcor common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than dissenting shares and shares held by Parker, Merger Sub or Clarcor or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) was converted into the right to receive $83.00 in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).

In addition, at the Effective Time, subject to certain exceptions, each option to purchase Clarcor common stock outstanding, whether vested or unvested, was converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (1) the total number of shares of Clarcor common stock subject to such option and (2) the amount by which the Per Share Merger Consideration exceeded the exercise price per share, less any applicable taxes. Subject to certain exceptions, as of the Effective Time, all other Clarcor equity and equity-based awards, subject to time-based or performance-based vesting conditions, were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration provided for under their terms in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time plus any accrued cash dividend equivalents.

The total consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition of Clarcor (the "Transaction") was approximately $4.1 billion in cash, which included the assumption of debt. See Note 2 to these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements for additional information on the purchase consideration.

The Company financed a portion of the purchase price for Clarcor by completing a private offering of $700 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2027, $600 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2047 and €700 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2025. In addition to the private offerings, the Company entered into a €100 million term loan due 2022 and a $500 million term loan due 2020 to finance a portion of the purchase price.

The following unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 and the six months ended December 31, 2016 give effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on July 1, 2015. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 gives effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on December 31, 2016.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements were primarily derived from, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the following historical consolidated financial statements for Clarcor and the Company:
Clarcor's separate audited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 3, 2016 (included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 27, 2017).
The Company's separate audited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 (included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 26, 2016) and the unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2016 (included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2017).

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company's financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Transaction been completed at the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company and does not give consideration to the impact of cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the Transaction or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements.

The Transaction is treated as a business combination for accounting purposes, with the Company being treated as the acquirer. The pro forma financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805). ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.

The process of estimating the fair values of certain tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. Fair value estimates used in preparing the pro forma financial information included herein are preliminary and have been presented solely for purposes of providing pro forma statements and will be revised as additional information becomes available and additional analysis is performed. Differences between preliminary estimates in the pro forma statements and the final acquisition accounting could have a material impact on the accompanying pro forma financial information and the combined company's future results of operations and financial position.

Acquisition-related transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are expensed as incurred. Acquisition-related transaction costs associated with the acquisition total $103,284, of which $15,962 and $7,420 have been expensed in the Company's and Clarcor's statements of income as of December 31, 2016, respectively. The remaining $79,902 of other anticipated acquisition-related transaction costs was adjusted as a reduction of cash with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings. These costs are not presented in the pro forma statements of income because they will not have a continuing impact on the consolidated results of the Company.

There were no material intercompany balances or transactions between the Company and Clarcor as of the dates and for the periods of these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.
