Forward-Looking Statements We often discuss expectations regarding our markets, demand for our products and services, and our future performance in our annual and quarterly reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. Such statements, including statements in this document incorporated by reference that relate to matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on our analysis of currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events and actual results could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations. You should consider the following key factors when evaluating these forward-looking statements: fluctuations in worldwide prices and demand for natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil; fluctuations in levels of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil exploration and development activities; fluctuations in the demand for our services; the existence of competitors, technological changes and developments in the oilfield services industry; the existence of operating risks inherent in the oilfield services industry; the existence of regulatory and legislative uncertainties; the possibility of changes in tax laws; the possibility of political instability, war or acts of terrorism in any of the countries in which we do business; and general economic conditions including the capital and credit markets. Our businesses depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. Therefore, a sustained increase or decrease in the price of natural gas, natural gas liquids or crude oil, which could have a material impact on exploration and production activities, could also materially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The above description of risks and uncertainties is by no means all inclusive, but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider. 2 |
