In addition to historical information, this presentation contains forward-looking statements identified by use of words such as “expects,” “anticipates,”“estimates,” and similar expressions. These statements reflect the Company’s expectations at the time this presentation was issued. Actual events and results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause material differences are a significant decline in capital expenditures in the specialty chemical and pharmaceutical industries, a major decline in oil and natural gas prices, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the impact of Sarbanes-Oxley section 404 procedures, work stoppages related to union negotiations, customer order cancellations, the ability of the Company to realize the benefits of its restructuring program in its Romaco and Process Solutions segments, including the receipt of cash proceeds from the sale of excess facilities, and general economic conditions that can affect demand in the process industries. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement.
This presentation refers to various non-GAAP measures. The Company believes these measures are helpful to investors in assessing the Company’s ongoing performance of its underlying businesses before the impact of special items on its financial performance. In addition, these non-GAAP measures provide a comparison to our previously announced earnings guidance, which excluded these special items. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to GAAP measures in this document.
