Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this report include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, statements made that are not historical facts (including but not limited to expectations, estimates, assumptions, projections and/or financial guidance) may be forward-looking statements. Words such as “should,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “contemplate,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “assume,” “can,” “could,” “continue,” “outlook,” “target” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on management's current assumptions, expectations and/or beliefs, are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and changes that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results projected, expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in the Company’s other filings and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these risk factors are outside the Company’s control, and as such, they involve risks which are not currently known that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed or implied herein. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date on which they are made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
