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,
uncertain. For us, particular uncertainties that could adversely or positively
affect our future results include: the behavior of financial markets, including
fluctuations in interest and exchange rates and commodity and equity prices;
the commercial and consumer credit environment; the impact of regulation and
regulatory, investigative and legal actions; strategic actions, including acquisitions
and dispositions; future integration of acquired businesses; future financial
performance of major industries which we serve, including, without limitation,
the air and rail transportation, energy generation, media, real estate and health-
care 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.
