Forward-Looking Statements Forward-Looking Statements This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements” which include information concerning the Company’s plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs and other information that is not historical information. When used in this presentation, the words “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, including without limitation, the Company’s expectations regarding increasing slots per store, growing brand awareness, strong cash flow generation, unit share opportunities, new consumer segments, and new retail accounts, are based upon current expectations and beliefs and various assumptions. There can be no assurance that the Company will realize these expectations or that these beliefs will prove correct. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed as forward-looking statements. These risk factors include general economic and industry conditions and consumer confidence; uncertainties arising from global events; the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on the Company’s reported earnings; consumer acceptance of the Company’s products; industry competition; the efficiency and effectiveness of the Company’s advertising campaigns and other marketing programs; the Company’s ability to increase sales productivity within existing retail accounts and to further penetrate the US retail furniture channel, including the timing of opening or expanding within large retail accounts; the Company’s ability to address issues in certain underperforming international markets; the Company’s ability to continuously improve its product line, maintain efficient, timely and cost-effective production and delivery of its products, and manage its growth; rising commodity costs; the Company’s ability to protect and maintain its intellectual property; the Company’s ability to respond to regulatory requirements; the Company’s ability to retain members of its senior management team; the effects of increased interest rates; the effects of labor relations on business operations and costs; the effects of increased product return rates or a reduction in warranty reserves; the market price for the Company’s common stock prevailing from time to time; and the nature of other investment opportunities presented to the Company from time to time. Additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation the Company's annual report on Form 10-K under the headings "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors". Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason, including to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. |
