Disclosure Forward-Looking Statements: This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The use of words such as “may”, “might”, “should”, “will”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “project”, “forecast”, “outlook”, “intend”, “future”, “potential” or “continue”, and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All of these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions by our management as of the date of this presentation that, although we believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results or circumstances to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, the following: the cyclicality of the markets that the Company serves; a delay, significant reduction in or loss of purchases by large customers; fluctuations in energy prices; changes in government energy policy or failure of expected changes in policy to materialize; the potential for negative developments in the natural gas industry related to hydraulic fracturing; competition; economic downturns and deteriorating financial conditions; our ability to manage our fixed-price contract exposure; our reliance on key suppliers and potential supplier failures or defects; the modification or cancellation of orders in our backlog; the Company’s ability to successfully manage its costs and growth, including its ability to successfully manage operational expansions and the challenges associated with efforts to acquire and integrate new product lines or businesses; changes in government healthcare regulations and reimbursement policies; general economic, political, business and market risks associated with the Company’s global operations and transactions; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates; the financial distress of third parties; the loss of key employees and deterioration of employee or labor relations; the pricing and availability of raw materials; the regulation of our products by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and other governmental authorities; potential future impairment of the Company’s significant goodwill and other intangibles; the cost of compliance with environmental, health and safety laws; additional liabilities related to taxes; the impact of severe weather; litigation and disputes involving the Company, including product liability, contract, warranty, employment and environmental claims; technological security threats; risks associated with our indebtedness, leverage, debt service and liquidity; and volatility and fluctuations in the price of the Company’s stock. For a discussion of these and additional risks that could cause actual results to differ from those described in the forward-looking statements, see disclosure under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which should be reviewed carefully. Please consider the Company’s forward-looking statements in light of these risks. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of its date. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. 1 |
