Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in the materials on our website, in social media posts or via other media or channels constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact and can be identified by the use of words such as "expects", "may", "anticipates", "intends", "would", "will", "plans", "believes", "estimates", "projected", "should", and similar words and expressions.
Examples of forward-looking statements include statements regarding our earnings estimates (including projections and guidance), other predictions of financial performance, launches of new products and services (including new features, enhancements and functionalities and menu expansions), commercial acceptance of our new products and services (including placements of instruments and practice management systems), and commercial and operational activities, efforts and performance. These forward-looking statements are intended to provide our expectations or forecasts of future events as of the date these statements were made, and they are based on our estimates, projections, beliefs, and assumptions as of that date.
You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as the future can be unpredictable. They are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Our reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pursuant to U.S. securities laws contain discussions of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Examples of these risks, uncertainties and other factors include macroeconomic conditions, consumer spending, geopolitical risks, supply chain and logistics, veterinary industry trends, government regulations and changes in the number and types of competitors and their product and service offerings. You should carefully evaluate these forward-looking statements together with the many risks, uncertainties and other factors that affect our business, particularly the matters described under the headings “Business,” “Risk Factors,” “Legal Proceedings,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks,” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as our subsequent filings on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. You are advised to review our filings with the SEC, which are available from the SEC’s EDGAR database at www.sec.gov and via our website at www.idexx.com.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date actually made. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The timing of release, delivery or availability of any product, service, feature, functionality, enhancement or expansion referenced in an IDEXX document, roadmap, blog, website, press release, social media post, or other public statement is subject to change at our discretion, and it may not be released, delivered or made available as planned or at all. Customers who purchase our products or services should make their purchase decisions based upon features and functions that are currently available.
