2 NYSE: CDI CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD- LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including statements about our strategy for growth, expected expenditures and future financial results are forward-looking statements. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by words like "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "could," “intends," "plans," "estimates," and similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Because these forward- looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statement include, but not limited to: changes in general economic conditions and levels of capital spending by customers in the industries we serve; possible inaccurate assumptions or forecasts regarding the bill rate, profit margin, duration of assignment and utilization rate applicable to our billable personnel; competitive market pressures; the availability of qualified labor; changes in customers' attitudes towards outsourcing; our level of success in attracting, training, and retaining qualified management personnel and other staff employees; our ability to pass onto customers increases in our costs (such as those relating to workers’ compensation insurance or which may arise from regulatory requirements); our performance on our customer contracts; the possibility of our incurring liability for our activities, including the activities of our temporary employees; adverse consequences arising out of the U.K. Office of Fair Trading investigation of our AndersElite subsidiary, which we previously disclosed; and government policies or judicial decisions adverse to the staffing industry. More detailed information about some of these risks and uncertainties may be found in our filings with the SEC, particularly in the “Risk Factors” sections of our Form 10-K ‘s and Form 10- Q’s. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. |
