Safe Harbor Provision
Certain statements made
in this presentation and other written or oral statements made by
or on behalf of the Company constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including
statements regarding our future performance, as well as
management's expectations, beliefs, intentions, plans, estimates,
objectives, or projections relating to the future. Such statements
can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as
"objectives," "goals," "preliminary," "range," "believes,"
"expects," "may," "estimates," "will," "should," "plans," or
"anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon
or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. The
Company cautions that any such forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance and may involve significant risks
and uncertainties, and that actual results may vary materially from
those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors. Among the factors that significantly impact our business
are: the cyclicality of our business; the highly competitive,
volatile, and fragmented metals industry in which we operate;
fluctuating metal prices; our substantial indebtedness and the
covenants in instruments governing such indebtedness; the
integration of acquired operations; regulatory and other
operational risks associated with our operations located inside and
outside of the United States;
impacts and implications of adverse health events, including the
COVID-19 pandemic; work stoppages; obligations under certain
employee retirement benefit plans; the ownership of a majority of
our equity securities by a single investor group; currency
fluctuations; and consolidation in the metals industry.
Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in
light of various factors, including those set forth above and those
set forth under "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2019,
and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Moreover, we caution against placing undue reliance on
these statements, which speak only as of the date they were made.
The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or
revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or
circumstances, new information or otherwise.
