All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, including, among others, statements we make regarding the intended acquisition of CCI, future revenues, future earnings, future cash flows, target leverage ratios, acquisition synergies, regulatory developments, market developments, new products and growth strategies, and the effects of any of the foregoing on our future results of operations or financial conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the control of Thermon and CCI. Some of these expectations may be based upon assumptions, data or judgments that prove to be incorrect and our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from the views expressed today. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (i) risks related to the acquisition of CCI, including integration risks and failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition; (ii) changes in laws and regulations applicable to our business model; and (iii) changes in market conditions and receptivity to services and offerings; (iv) general economic conditions and cyclicality in the markets we serve; (v) future growth of energy and chemical processing capital investments; (vi) our ability to deliver existing orders within our backlog; (iv) our ability to bid and win new contracts; (vii) competition from various other sources providing similar products and services, or alternative technologies, to customers; (viii) changes in relevant currency exchange rates; (ix) potential liability related to our products as well as the delivery of products and services; (x) our ability to comply with the complex and dynamic system of laws and regulations applicable to international operations; (xi) our ability to protect data and thwart potential cyber attacks; (xii) a material disruption at any of our manufacturing facilities; (xiii) our dependence on subcontractors and suppliers; (xiv) our ability to attract and retain qualified management and employees, particularly in our overseas markets; (xv) our ability to continue to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our liquidity needs; (xvi) the extent to which federal, state, local and foreign governmental regulation of energy, chemical processing and power generation products and services limits or prohibits the operation of our business; and (xvii) other factors discussed in more detail under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2017. Any one of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and could influence whether any forward-looking statements contained in this release ultimately prove to be accurate. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release and in the related conference call is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward- looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, unless we are required to do so under applicable securities laws. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Disclosure in this release of "Adjusted EBITDA" and other "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), are intended as supplemental measures of our financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are meaningful to our investors to enhance their understanding of our financial performance and are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. For a description of how such non-GAAP financial measures reconcile to the most comparable GAAP measure, please see the table below.
