Forward-Looking Statements Information set forth in this document (and all oral statements made regarding the subjects of this document) contain "forward-looking statements" (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), which reflect our expectations regarding future events without taking into account the impact of the pending transaction to acquire BJ Services Company. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our expectations regarding our business outlook and business plans, the business plans of our customers, changes in revenue, pricing, expenses, capital spending, backlogs, profitability, tax rates, strategies for our operations, impact of our common stock repurchases, oil and natural gas market conditions, market share and contract terms, costs and availability of resources, economic and regulatory conditions, and environmental matters. Our forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable but that may not prove to be accurate. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the level of petroleum industry exploration, development and production expenditures; the price of, volatility in pricing of, and the demand for, crude oil and natural gas; the ability to obtain regulatory approvals for the pending transaction to acquire BJ Services Company and the approval of the transaction by stockholders; the ability to successfully integrate any acquired businesses and unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities that may arise from any transaction, whether or not consummated; the outcome of pending litigation; the inability to retain key personnel; continuation or deterioration of current market conditions; future regulatory or legislative actions that could adversely affect our business; and the business plans of customers.
