Cautionary Note
on Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report
contains, without limitation, statements concerning plans,
objectives, goals, projections, forecasts, strategies, future
events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other
statements, which are not statements of historical facts.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words
like “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “forecast,”
”estimate,” “see,” “outlook,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “potential,”
“likely,” “target,” “plan,” “contemplate,” “seek,” “attempt,”
“should,” “could,” “would,” or expressions of similar meaning.
Forward-looking statements reflect management’s evaluation of
information currently available and are based on our current
expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy
and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements
relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties,
risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to
predict.
Specific
factors that may impact performance or other predictions of future
actions have, in many but not all cases, been identified in
connection with specific forward-looking statements. Factors that
might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, our
ability to successfully execute our transformation strategy and
business strategy; our ability to integrate acquired businesses;
global supply chain volatility, increased costs or disruption in
the supply of raw materials; increased energy costs or costs for
transportation of our products; the outcome of the European
Commission request for information; the nature of investment
opportunities presented to the Company from time to time; and those
discussed in our Annual Report filed with the SEC on February 23,
2022 under Part I, Item IA— “Risk Factors,” within this Quarterly
Report and in other filings and furnishings made by the Company
with the SEC from time to time.
As a result of these
or other factors, our actual results, performance or achievements
may differ materially from those contemplated by the
forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of
historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance.
Therefore, we caution you against relying on these forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements included in this
Quarterly Report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake
no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statement as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
