Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "plans", "believes", "estimates", "projects", "forecasts", "will", "may", "potential", "should", and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect management's current expectations only as of the date of this release. As a result, you are cautioned not to rely on any forward-looking statements. Although these statements are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon available information, they are subject to risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the potential for delay in the delivery of the Acquired Vessels; the potential inability to secure financing for the Acquired Vessels; the potential for early termination of the charters and Seaspan's inability to replace them; the potential that we will not be able to capitalize on opportunities in the containership sector or that there will be fewer opportunities given current world events; the possibility that we will not be able to execute on our growth strategy; and other factors detailed from time to time in our periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Atlas's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether because of future events, new information, a change in our views or expectations, or otherwise. We make no prediction or statement about the performance of any of our securities.This release includes non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures, which include FFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA, should not be considered substitutes for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and readers are urged to review the Company's audited financial statements. Atlas does not provide quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking FFO per share or Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, income tax expense, gain/losses on sale, unrealized and realized change in derivative instruments, change in contingent consideration asset and loss on foreign currency repatriation. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP-reported results for the future period.SOURCE Atlas Corp. Related Links https://atlascorporation.com/
