10 Forward-Looking Statements/ GAAP vs. Non-GAAP Measures Forward-Looking Statements/ GAAP vs. Non-GAAP Measures • GAAP versus Non-GAAP Measures: The earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin for 2007 listed on page 4 excludes the non-cash impairment charges recorded during the year and is a non- GAAP measure, which should not be construed as a better measure than GAAP EBIT margins. • Forward-Looking Statements: Page 7 contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act, identified by the word “expected”. These are only our expectations regarding the one-time shutdown costs. Actual shutdown costs and the timing of those costs could differ based on a number of factors including (among others) our ability to enter into, and the terms of, lease termination agreements for the leased properties, and our ability to identify all costs related to the closing of the service centers and to properly categorize the costs by type. • Forward-looking statements on page 8 regarding our performance improvement targets are only our expectation regarding these targets. Actual performance improvement could differ materially based on a number of factors including (among others) the ability to identify and implement improvements 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 improvement 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. |
