FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
The discussion below contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to safe harbors under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements include references to the expected results of the cost savings
initiative that was announced in January 2007 and our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets, as well as statements
including words such as “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” and
similar expressions. In addition, statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, anticipated
growth and trends in our businesses and in our industries, the anticipated impacts of acquisitions, and other
characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These statements are only
predictions, based on our current expectations about future events and may not prove to be accurate. We do not
undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events occurring or circumstances
arising after the date of this report. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and our actual
results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-
looking statements on the basis of several factors, including those that we discuss under Item 1A, Risk Factors,
beginning on page 15. We encourage you to read that section carefully.
