Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. securities laws, including statements related to revenue and earnings guidance; future cash flows, ROIC, SG&A and capital expense levels; our expectations regarding our business in the current economic environment; the expected benefits from our geographically diversified business and our broad-based product, services and component technologies offerings; expected improvements in inventory management; and our expectations regarding tax benefits, after-tax intangible amortization, stock based compensation, and our ability to generate expected free cash flow. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by these statements. Information about these risks is noted in the earnings press release, on slide 21 of this presentation, and in the Risk Factors and MD&A sections of our latest annual report, as amended, filed with the SEC, as well as in our other SEC filings. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
In addition, this presentation uses non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the schedules to the earnings press release, slide 10 of this presentation, and the GAAP vs. Non-GAAP Reconciliation in the Investors section of our website, which contain the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
