| 3 Forward Looking Statements This document contains certain forward-looking statements which are within the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements could include statements with respect to the expected timing, completion and effects of the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of Ralcorp, including statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words "believes," "projects," "targets," "should," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "will," "can" or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties. There are a number of important factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: • Our ability to effectively manage the growth from acquisitions including successfully integrating and transitioning the acquired company • Disruptions in the U.S. and global capital and credit markets. Significant increases in the costs of certain commodities, packaging or energy used to manufacture our products. • Allegations that our products cause injury or illness, product recalls and product liability claims and other litigation. • Our ability to continue to compete in our business segments and our ability to retain our market position. • Our ability to maintain a meaningful price gap between our products and those of our competitors, successfully introduce new products or successfully manage costs across all parts of the Company. • Our ability to successfully implement business strategies to reduce costs. • The loss of a significant customer. • Our ability to service our outstanding debt or obtain additional financing. • Fluctuations in the Canadian Dollar exchange rate. • The termination or expiration of current co-manufacturing agreements. • Consolidations among the retail grocery and foodservice industries. • Change in estimates in critical accounting judgments and changes to or new laws and regulations affecting our business. • Labor strikes or work stoppages by our employees. • Impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or other intangibles. • Changes in weather conditions, natural disasters and other events beyond our control. • Those factors referenced in Ralcorp's 10-K, under the heading "Risk Factors." In particular, this presentation includes Ralcorp's expected results for future periods. These expectations are based on certain important assumptions, including expectations as to the (i) rate of change in commodity prices, (ii) Ralcorp's ability to pass such costs through to its customers without meaningful impact on volumes and (iii) currency exchange rates, as well as other factors noted above. Actual results could differ materially from the expectations set out in this presentation if these assumptions are proved incorrect. |
