40 Forward-Looking Statements Forward-Looking Statements • Forward-Looking Statements: Pages 16, 17, 20 contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act, identified by the words “expected”, “anticipate”. • Forward-looking statements on pages 16 and 17 are only our expectations regarding our debt levels, use of cash and capital expenditures. Actual debt levels, use of cash and capital expenditures may differ materially from these expectations and are dependent on the following factors: our ability to command a price for services in excess of the costs to provide those services; the timing of our cash receipts and expenditures; the lack of any unanticipated liabilities maturing, contingent or otherwise; impacts on our business from inflation, inclement weather, competitor pricing, fuel costs, expense volatility, economic activity, changes in debt or equity markets, effects of a terrorist attack, effects of labor relations, the accuracy of our estimates of our spending requirements, the occurrence of any unanticipated acquisition opportunities, changes in our strategic direction, the need to spend additional capital on cost reduction opportunities, and the need to replace any unanticipated losses in capital assets. • Forward-looking statements on page 17 regarding the second quarter 2008 expected closing of the Jiayu acquisition are only our expectations regarding the timing and completion of this acquisition. Completion of the acquisition is subject to Chinese regulatory approvals, restructuring of certain of Jiayu’s operations and other ordinary conditions to closing. • Forward-looking statements on page 20 regarding our funding requirements for multi-employer pension plans to which we contribute are only our expectations regarding these matters. Actual funding requirements may differ materially from these expectations and are dependent on each of those plans meeting their funding requirements under the Pension Protection Act or under a rehabilitation plan that the act requires. Our agreement with the IBT provides that potential surcharges during the contract term be addressed within the contractual pension and health care funding that the agreement provides. We have assumed that the combined funding for pension and healthcare contributions within our labor agreement is sufficient to meet any such surcharges that could arise during the five-year term of the agreement. • Forward-looking statements on pages 17 and 22 are only our expectations regarding our anticipated cash funding of our single employer pensions. Actual funding may differ materially from these expectations and is dependent on the following factors: our cash flow, our debt levels, the legal requirements to fully fund these pensions and the factors listed above regarding our debt levels, use of cash and capital expenditures. • Forward-looking statements on pages 34 and 35 regarding our cost reduction targets are only our expectation regarding these targets. Actual cost reductions could differ materially based on a number of factors including (among others) the ability to identify and implement cost reductions in the time frame needed to achieve these expectations, the success of the company’s operating plans, the need to spend additional capital to implement cost reduction opportunities, including (without limitation) to terminate, amend or renegotiate prior contractual commitments, inflation, inclement weather, competitor pricing, fuel costs, expense volatility, economic activity, changes in debt or equity markets, effects of a terrorist attack, effects of labor relations, the accuracy of our estimates of our spending requirements, the occurrence of any unanticipated acquisition opportunities, changes in our strategic direction and the need to replace any unanticipated losses in capital assets. |
