Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, those regarding positioning Mativ for long-term success and right-sizing Mativ’s administrative functions, the expected benefits of strategic realignment actions, including reducing costs allowing Mativ to better support customers, Mativ’s expected financial position, business strategy, operating plans, capital and other expenditures, acquisitions and divestitures, and other plans and objectives related to the planned strategic realignment actions, including the amount and timing of expected EBITDA margin benefit, increased cash flow and returns, and continued de-leveraging, and other statements generally identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “guidance,” “plan,” “forecast,” “potential,” “anticipate,” “confident,” “project,” “appear,” “future,” “should,” “likely,” “could,” “may,” “will,” “typically,” and similar words.
These forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and on numerous assumptions regarding the business strategies and the environment in which Mativ will operate in the future and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those statements. No assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and persons reading this presentation are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this press release. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties, and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations as of the date of this release. These risks include, among others, general economic conditions, the preliminary nature of the estimates related to the strategic realignment actions and the possibility that all or some of the estimates may change as Mativ’s analysis develops and additional information is obtained, Mativ’s ability to timely implement the strategic realignment actions in a manner that will positively impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, the impact of the strategic realignment actions on Mativ’s relationships with its employees, customers and vendors, the amount of costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the strategic realignment actions and the possibility of unexpected costs, liabilities or delays in connection with the strategic realignment actions, risks that the strategic realignment actions disrupt current plans and operations of Mativ, and factors that may cause Mativ to be unable to achieve the expected benefits of the strategic realignment actions . All forward-looking statements made in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements. Forward-looking statements herein are made only as of the date of this press release, and Mativ undertakes no obligation, other than as may be required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking or cautionary statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of events, unanticipated or otherwise, or changes in future operating results over time or otherwise.
