| Q4 2007 Financial Results Investor Conference Call October 16, 2007 Robbins & Myers, Inc. |
| In addition to historical information, this release contains certain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward- looking statements include, but are not limited to, all statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations regarding the matters discussed or incorporated by reference in this document (including statements as to "beliefs," "expectations," "anticipations," "intentions" or similar words) and all statements which are not statements of historical fact. Such forward-looking statements, together with other statements that are not historical, are based on management's current expectations and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors that could cause results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those stated. The most significant of these risks and uncertainties are described in the Company's Form 10-K, and Form 10-Q reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, but are not limited to: a significant decline in capital expenditures in the specialty chemical and pharmaceutical industries; a major decline in oil and natural gas prices; changes in international economic and political conditions and currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and other currencies; work stoppages related to union negotiations; customer order cancellations; business disruptions caused by the implementation of business computer systems; the ability of the Company to comply with the financial covenants and other provisions of its financing arrangements; events or circumstances which result in an impairment of assets, including but not limited to, goodwill; the potential impact of U.S. and foreign legislation, government regulations, and other government action, including those relating to export and import of products and materials, and changes in the interpretation and application of such laws and regulations; the outcome of audit, compliance, administrative or investigatory reviews; and general economic conditions that can affect demand in the process industries. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as otherwise required by law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. This presentation refers to various non-GAAP measures. The Company believes these measures are helpful to investors in assessing the Company's ongoing performance of its underlying businesses before the impact of special items on its financial performance. In addition, these non-GAAP measures provide a comparison to our previously announced earnings guidance, which excluded these special items. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to GAAP measures in this document. Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward- Looking and Other Information |
