Safe Harbor Statement Our disclosures in this presentation, including without limitation, those relating to future financial results guidance, and in our other public documents and comments contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Those statements provide our future expectations or forecasts and can be identified by our use of words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "outlook," "target," "predict," "may," "will," "would," "could," "should," "seek," and other words or phrases of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance, including, in this presentation, all statements and projections relating to the building products "mid-cycle" outlook. Forward-looking statements, by their nature, address matters that are uncertain and involve risks because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. A more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our ability to achieve the projected performance is included in the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis" sections of our recent reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the SEC. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from our expected results and from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements beyond what is required under applicable securities law. The information in this presentation is only effective as of the date given, February 19, 2013, and is subject to change. Any distribution of this presentation after February 19, 2013 is not intended and will not be construed as updating or confirming such information. In addition, we will be referring to "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of SEC Regulation G. A reconciliation of the differences between these measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are can be found in our SEC filings and on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.armstrong.com. Armstrong competes globally in many diverse markets. References to "market" or "share" data are simply estimations based on a combination of internal and external sources and assumptions. They are intended only to assist discussion of the relative performance of product segments and categories for marketing and related purposes. No conclusion has been reached or should be reached regarding a "product market," a "geographic market" or "market share," as such terms may be used or defined for any economic, legal or other purpose. 2 |
