They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statements can be guaranteed.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT A COMBINATION OF FOUR INITIATIVES Fund organic growth. Repurchase stock shares of our common stock. Pay dividends to shareholders. Finance acquisitions. We try to effectively balance leveraging our capital to earn a return on our shareholders’ investment versus returning the capital dollar‐for‐dollar in repurchases and dividends.
