on current expectations about our business and the markets we operate in, and on
various estimates and assumptions. Our actual results could be materially different
from our expectations if known or unknown risks affect our business, or if our
estimates or assumptions turn out to be inaccurate.
As a result, we cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statements will materialize.
Forward-looking statements do not take into account the effect that transactions or
non-recurring items announced or occurring after the statements are made may have
on our business.
We disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements,
except as required by law, even if new information becomes available through future
events or for any other reason.
Risks that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our current
expectations are discussed in section 6 of our May 10th, 2016 Management's
Discussion and Analysis.
