Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results

(Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995)

 

The disclosures and analysis in this report contain some forward-looking statements. This discussion about those statements is provided in accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

 

Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, and financial results. From time to time, we may also provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials released to the public.

 

Any or all of the forward-looking statements made in this report and in any other public statements may turn out to be incorrect. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we may make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, you should consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in Forms 10-Q, 8-K, 10-K or other reports filed with the SEC. Other factors besides those listed here could also adversely affect our businesses.

 

These are some of the factors that could potentially cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results:

 

Chapter 11 Filing

  Factors relating to Armstrong World Industries, Inc.’s (“AWI”) Chapter 11 Filing, such as: the possible disruption of relationships with creditors, customers, suppliers and employees; the ultimate size of AWI’s asbestos-related and other liabilities; the ability to confirm and implement a plan of reorganization; the availability of financing and refinancing for both AWI and its subsidiaries that are not parties to its Chapter 11 Filing; and AWI’s ability to comply with covenants in its debtor-in-possession credit facility (the “DIP Facility”).

 

Legal Claims

  Claims of undetermined merit and amount which have been asserted against us for various legal matters, including AWI’s asbestos related litigation. For more information on these matters, see the discussion of Legal Proceedings in Part II, Item 1 in this report.

 

Business Environment

  Changes in demand for public and private commercial and residential building construction and renovation, laws and regulations, foreign currency and interest rates, inflation or other related factors affecting our businesses. Despite our efforts to foresee and plan for the effects of changes in these circumstances, we can not predict their impact with certainty. For example, economic weakness can lead customers to delay or cancel construction plans or could lead to further industry overcapacity. For more information on these matters, see the discussion of Market Risk in Item 7A of Armstrong Holdings, Inc. 2002 Form 10-K.

 

  Business combinations among our competitors or suppliers, which could affect our competitive position in any of our business units. Similarly, combinations or alliances among our major customers could increase their purchasing power in dealing with us. If we should enter into one or more business combinations, our business, finances and capital structure could be affected.

 

  The level of success of our new product introductions and those of our competitors.

Table of Contents

 

  The extent to which we successfully achieve integration of and synergies from acquisitions as well as the impact of divestitures, restructuring and other unusual items that may result from evolving business strategies and organizational restructuring.

 

Retail Environment

  Business decisions and business conditions that affect our major customers and distribution networks. For example, a significant portion of our revenue in North America comes from sales to major home center retailers.

 

  Increased retail trade consolidation, especially in markets such as the United States, could make us more dependent upon key retailers whose relative bargaining strength may increase.

 

  Changes in the policies of our retail trade customers, such as inventory shifts or fluctuations, limitations on access to shelf space and other conditions. Many of our customers, particularly our high-volume retail trade customers, have engaged with us in continuous efforts to reduce their inventory levels and improve delivery fulfillment.

 

International

  Various worldwide economic and political factors, changes in the competitive structures of the markets, credit risks in emerging markets, variations in residential and commercial construction rates, and economic growth rates in various areas of the world in which we do business. These factors could affect the end-use markets for our products in various parts of the world.

 

  Changes in intellectual property legal protections and remedies, trade regulations, tariff classifications or duty rates, and procedures and actions affecting production, pricing and marketing of products, intergovernmental disputes, possible nationalization and unstable governments and legal systems.

 

  Changes in exchange rates can significantly affect our reported results from one period to the next.

 

Raw Materials

  Availability of raw materials, energy, water and sourced products due to changes in business and legal conditions that impact our suppliers, including environmental conditions, laws and regulations, litigation involving our suppliers, transportation disruptions and/or business decisions made by our suppliers.

 

  Raw material price increases (for example price increases in hardwood lumber, limestone or petroleum-based raw materials such as plasticizers or PVCs), energy cost increases (for example price increases in natural gas), and changes in distribution and product mix.
