Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements: This document contains
“forward-looking statements”— that is, statements related to future, not past,
events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected
future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as
“expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” or “will.” Forward-looking
statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncer-
tain. For us, particular uncertainties that could adversely or positively affect our
future results include: the behavior of financial markets, including fl uctuations in
interest and exchange rates and commodity and equity prices; the commercial
and consumer credit environment; the impact of regulation and regulatory and
legal actions; strategic actions, including acquisitions and dispositions; future
integration of acquired businesses; future financial performance of major indus-
tries which we serve, including, without limitation, the air and rail transportation,
energy generation, media, real estate and healthcare industries; and numerous
other matters of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political,
economic, business and competitive nature. These uncertainties may cause
our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our
forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking
statements.
