Statements on this Web site that
are not historical facts,
including statements (i) that
include the words "expects,"
"believes," or "anticipates," or
similar words that reference EGD
or its management; (ii)
specifically identified as
forward-looking; or (iii)
describing EGD's or management's
future outlook, plans,
estimates, objectives or goals,
are forward-looking statements.
EGD or its representatives may
also make similar
forward-looking statements from
time to time orally or in
writing. EGD cautions the reader
that these statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties
or other factors that could
cause (and in some cases have
caused) actual results to differ
materially from those described
in any such statement. Those
important factors include the
validity of the assumptions and
bases underlying such statements
and the timing and progress with
which EGD can continue to
achieve savings from its cost
reduction and other Operational
Fitness initiatives; EGD's
capability to retain and attract
dealers and effectively
implement new programs; its
ability to capture new business;
the success of new products and
other Profitable Growth
initiatives; EGD's ability to
withstand external negative
factors including terrorist
disruptions on business; changes
in trade, monetary and fiscal
policies, regulatory reporting
requirements, laws and
regulations, or other activities
of governments or their
agencies, including military
actions and such aftermath that
might occur, disruption arising
from planned facility closures,
and the absence of significant
changes in inflation, the
current competitive environment,
energy supply or pricing, legal
proceedings, supplier
disruptions, currency
fluctuations or the material
worsening of economic and
political situations around the
world. These factors may not
constitute all factors that
could cause actual results to
differ materially from those
discussed in any forward-looking
statement. EGD operates in a
continually changing business
environment and new factors
emerge from time to time. EGD
cannot predict such factors nor
can it assess the impact, if
any, of such factors on EGD's
financial position or its
results of operations.
Accordingly, forward-looking
statements should not be relied
upon as a prediction of actual
results. EGD disclaims any
responsibility to update any
forward-looking statement
provided on this Web site. Any
opinions, estimates or forecasts
regarding EGD performance made
by analysts are theirs alone and
do not represent the opinions,
forecasts or predictions of EGD
or its management, nor does EGD
endorse or otherwise comment on
such forecasts.
