Safe harbor provision for forward looking statements
Swedish Match and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements on the Site, in its various filings and in its reports to shareholders. You can identify these forward-looking statements by use of words such as "strategy," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "will," "continues," "estimates," "intends," "projects," "goals," "targets" and other words of similar meaning. You can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.
These statements are based on Swedish Match's assumptions and estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Although management believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved.
The following factors, among others, could cause Swedish Match's financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such statements. They include changes in consumer preferences resulting in a decline in the demand for and consumption of tobacco, political disturbances, exchange rate fluctuations, additional governmental regulation of tobacco or further tobacco litigation, and enactment of new or significant increases in existing excise taxes. Other factors include changes in the competitive landscape, competitive products and pricing, and a shift in demand from third parties and customers.
Other factors and risks are discussed in Swedish Match's latest Annual Report.
