Forward-looking Information
This presentation includes forward-looking information and statements, including statements concerning the outlook for Landis+Gyr Group AG and Landis+Gyr group ("Landis+Gyr"). These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the factors that may affect Landis+Gyrʼs future performance, including global economic conditions, and the economic conditions of the regions and industries that are major markets for Landis+Gyr. These expectations, estimates and projections are generally identifiable by statements containing words such as "expects", "believes", "estimates", "targets", "plans", "outlook" "guidance" or similar expressions.
There are numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Landis+Gyrʼs control, that could cause Landis+Gyrʼs actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking information and statements made in this presentation and which could affect Landis+Gyrʼs ability to achieve its stated targets. The important factors that could cause such differences include, among others: continued or future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, global shortage of energy or supplied components as well as increased freight rates, business risks associated with the volatile global economic environment and political conditions, including wars or military actions; market acceptance of new products and services; changes in governmental regulations and currency exchange rates; estimates of future warranty claims and expenses and sufficiency of accruals; and other such factors as may be discussed from time to time in Landis+Gyr Group AG filings with the SIX Swiss Exchange. Although Landis+Gyr Group AG believes that its expectations reflected in any such forward-looking statement are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that those expectations will be achieved.
