This presentation contains forward-looking
statements that reflect the Company’s current
views with respect to future events and
financial performance. You can identify
forward-looking statements by the fact that they
do not relate strictly to current or historic facts.
Forward-looking statements are identified by
the use of the words “aim,” “believe,” “expect,”
“anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,”
“outlook,” “forecast” and other expressions that
indicate future events and trends.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as
of the date on which such statement is made,
and the Company undertakes no obligation to
update any forward-looking statement, whether
as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise. You are advised, however, to
consult any further disclosures we make on
related subjects in our reports to the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Also, note the
following cautionary statements:
Many factors could cause actual results to
differ materially from the Company’s forward-
looking statements.
Such factors include global economic
conditions, increasing price and product
competition by our competitors, fluctuations in
cost and availability of raw materials, the ability
to achieve selling price increases, the ability to
recover margins, customer inventory levels, our
ability to maintain favorable supplier
relationships and arrangements, the timing of
and the realization of anticipated cost savings
from restructuring and other initiatives, the
ability to identify additional cost savings
opportunities, difficulties in integrating acquired
businesses and achieving expected synergies
therefrom, economic and political conditions in
the markets we serve, the ability to penetrate
existing, developing and emerging foreign and
domestic markets, foreign exchange rates and
fluctuations in such rates, fluctuations in tax
rates, the impact of future legislation, the
impact of environmental regulations,
unexpected business disruptions, the effects on
our business resulting from the COVID-19
virus, the results of governmental
investigations and the unpredictability of
existing and possible future litigation.
However, it is not possible to predict or identify
all such factors. Consequently, while the list of
factors presented here and under Item 1A of
PPG’s 2020 Form 10-K is considered
representative, no such list should be
considered to be a complete statement of all
potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted
factors may present significant additional
obstacles to the realization of forward-looking
statements. Consequences of material
differences in the results compared with those
anticipated in the forward-looking statements
could include, among other things, lower sales
or income, business disruption, operational
problems, financial loss, legal liability to third
parties, other factors set forth in Item 1A of
PPG’s 2020 Form 10-K and similar risks, any
of which could have a material adverse effect
on the Company’s consolidated financial
condition, results of operations or liquidity.
