This press release includes the Company's current outlook for adjusted diluted income per common share, a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides its management with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis and provides meaningful supplemental information to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Other companies in the Company's industry may calculate this item differently than the Company does. This measure is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of the Company's assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements, despite the Company's reasonable basis for such statements.

Factors or events that could cause the Company's actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them.
