The company cautions that a variety of factors could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the company’s forwarding-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 2, 2018 (the “2017 10-K”).

Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Factors Affecting ‘Forward-Looking Statements’” of the 2017 10-K. Any forward-looking statements herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to all such factors discussed in the 2017 10-K and the company’s other SEC filings. There can be no assurance that the company has correctly or completely identified and assessed all of the factors affecting the company’s business. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements.
