- Forward-looking statements are subject to risks including liquidity and access to capital, ability to comply with financial covenants, refinancing or repayment of indebtedness, conditions raising doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern, acquisition timing and integration, seasonal demand fluctuations, macroeconomic conditions, and execution risks.
- Actual results may differ materially from projected results.
