They involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement.
Additional examples of forward-looking statements in this press release include but are not limited to statements regarding the expected timing and benefits of the offering of notes and the use of proceeds therefrom. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.

You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those discussed in our SEC-filed documents, could affect our future results, and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those estimates or projections in the forward-looking statements: our ability to consummate the offering of notes on the timeline provided or at all; general economic conditions; difficulty making acquisitions, including receiving the necessary regulatory approvals (including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act in the U.S. and similar antitrust regulations in foreign countries), and successfully integrating acquired businesses; any unforeseen liabilities associated with future acquisitions; information technology system failures, data security breaches, network disruptions, and cybersecurity events, including any litigation arising therefrom; failure to comply with new data privacy laws and regulations, including any litigation arising therefrom; risks and costs associated with our international sales and operations; rising interest rates; limitations on our business imposed by our indebtedness; product liability, litigation, and insurance risks; future competition; reduction of business with large customers; risks associated with government contracts; changes in the supply of, or price for, labor, energy, raw materials, parts and components, including as a result of inflation or potential supply chain constraints; potential write-offs of our goodwill and other intangible assets; our ability to successfully develop new products; failure to protect our intellectual property; unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates; risks related to changing U.S. and foreign trade policies, including increased trade restrictions or tariffs (including repeal of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement); increased warranty exposure; environmental compliance costs and liabilities; the effect of, or change in, government regulations (including tax); risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence; economic disruption caused by armed conflicts (such as the war in Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East), terrorist attacks, health crises, or other unforeseen geopolitical events; and the factors discussed in other reports we file with the SEC from time to time.
We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations.
