- Safe Harbor Statement
-
These remarks contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify these so-called “forward-looking statements” by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these and other comparable words. We wish to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provided for by this Act, and we caution you that actual events or results may differ materially from the expectations we express in our forward-looking statements as a result of various risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks and uncertainties listed in “Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include: (1) changes in the competitive environment, (2) changes in business and economic conditions, (3) changes in our programming costs, (4) changes in laws and regulations, (5) changes in technology, (6) loss of key vendors, (7) adverse decisions in litigation matters, (8) risks associated with strategic initiatives, including the development of Peacock, and acquisitions such as Sky, (9) changes in assumptions underlying our critical accounting judgments and estimates, and (10) other risks described from time to time in reports and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. The amount and timing of share repurchases and dividends is subject to business, economic and other relevant factors.
