Forward Looking Statements
This press release or any other oral or written statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by their use of such terms and phrases as "intend," "goal," "estimate," "expect," "project," "projections," "plans," "anticipate," "should," "could," "designed to," "foreseeable future," "believe," "think," "scheduled," "outlook," "target," "guidance" and similar expressions although not all forward-looking statements contain such terms. This list of indicative terms and phrases is not intended to be all-inclusive.
These statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of
which are outside our control, including, without limitation, our
ability to integrate the BNS business on a timely and cost-effective
manner; our reliance on TE Connectivity for transition services for the
BNS business; our ability to realize expected growth opportunities and
cost savings from the BNS business; our dependence on customers' capital
spending on data and communication systems; concentration of sales among
a limited number of customers and channel partners; changes in
technology; industry competition and the ability to retain customers
through product innovation, introduction and marketing; risks associated
with our sales through channel partners; changes to the regulatory
environment in which our customers operate; product quality or
performance issues and associated warranty claims; our ability to
maintain effective management information systems and to successfully
implement major systems initiatives; cyber-security incidents, including
data security breaches or computer viruses; the risk our global
manufacturing operations suffer production or shipping delays, causing
difficulty in meeting customer demands; the risk that internal
production capacity and that of contract manufacturers may be
insufficient to meet customer demand or quality standards for our
products; changes in cost and availability of key raw materials,
components and commodities and the potential effect on customer pricing;
risks associated with our dependence on a limited number of key
suppliers for certain raw material and components; the risk that
contract manufacturers we rely on encounter production, quality,
financial or other difficulties; our ability to fully realize
anticipated benefits from prior or future acquisitions or equity
investments; potential difficulties in realigning global manufacturing
capacity and capabilities among our global manufacturing facilities,
including delays or challenges related to removing, transporting or
reinstalling equipment, that may affect our ability to meet customer
demands for products; possible future restructuring actions; substantial
indebtedness and maintaining compliance with debt covenants; our ability
to incur additional indebtedness; our ability to generate cash to
service our indebtedness; possible future impairment charges for fixed
or intangible assets, including goodwill; income tax rate variability
and ability to recover amounts recorded as deferred tax assets; our
ability to recover value-added tax receivables; our ability to attract
and retain qualified key employees; labor unrest; obligations under our
defined benefit employee benefit plans may require plan contributions in
excess of current estimates; significant international operations
exposing us to economic, political and other risks, including the impact
of variability in foreign exchange rates; our ability to comply with
governmental anti-corruption laws and regulations and export and import
controls worldwide; our ability to compete in international markets due
to export and import controls to which we may be subject; changes in the
