This document contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding future financial performance, and the objectives and expectations of management. Forward-looking statements often include words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could” or “may.” Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements.
For more information about factors that could affect our actual results and cause such results to differ materially from those contemplated by any forward-looking statements, please refer to our reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the “Risk Factors” discussion in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as our other reports filed with the SEC, available on its website. The order in which such factors appear should not be construed to indicate their relative importance or priority. We caution that such factors may not be exhaustive; accordingly, any forward-looking statements contained herein should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results. You should carefully consider such factors and other relevant risks when reviewing any forward-looking statement.
Given the nature of our business, Patterson reports using the Health Care Distributor Standards.
