The forward-looking statements reflect management’s current assumptions and expectations of future events, and accordingly, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainties and changes in circumstances and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially, for a wide range of possible reasons, including general industry and market conditions and general international economic conditions. In light of the many risks and uncertainties, you are advised not to put undue reliance on these statements. The management targets included in this presentation are not projections, and do not represent management’s current estimates of future performance. Rather, they represent targets that management strive to achieve through the successful implementation of the Company’s business strategies.
