Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, documents, presentations and other materials on this website may contain information that includes or is based upon forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “envision,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” “contemplate” and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
While we believe that the plans and expectations reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, those statements are based only on the current beliefs and assumptions of our management and information available to us, and therefore, any or all of our forward-looking statements involve uncertainties and risks as to what may happen in the future and may turn out to be wrong. Important factors that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: our data suppliers might restrict our use of or refuse to license data, which could lead to our inability to provide certain products or services; failure to meet productivity objectives under our internal business transformation initiatives could adversely impact our competitiveness and our ability to meet our growth objectives; we may be unsuccessful at investing in growth opportunities; data protection and privacy laws may restrict our current and future activities; breaches or misuse of our or our outsourcing partners' security or communication systems could expose us, our clients, our data suppliers or others to risk of loss; hardware and software failures, delays in the operation of our computer and communications systems or the failure to implement system enhancements may adversely impact us; consolidation in the industries in which our clients operate may reduce the volume of products and services purchased by consolidated clients following an acquisition or merger; and our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and our susceptibility to claims by others that we are infringing on their intellectual property rights.
Additional information concerning factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements may be found under the heading “Risk factors” in our registration statement on Form S-1 and in periodic filings with the SEC. Our actual results may vary materially, and there are no guarantees about the performance of our stock. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in our future operating results, financial condition or business over time.
