Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, potential growth opportunities and the effects of competition and regulation. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. You can identify these statements by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “may” or “might” or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date hereof, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any of them publicly in light of new information or future events.
Forward-looking statements involve significant risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. You should understand that many important factors could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or suggested in forward-looking statements, including those discussed below under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” and under the caption “Certain Factors that May Affect Our Business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
