Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and statements we make on the above announced conference call contain, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements in this press release or the conference call that are not historical information are forward-looking statements. For example, statements relating to our beliefs, expectations, and plans are forward-looking statements, as are statements that certain actions, conditions, or circumstances will continue. The inclusion of words such as "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "can," "may," "might," "continue," "enables," "plan," "intend," "should," "could," "would," "likely," "potential," or "believe," and similar expressions and the negative versions thereof indicate forward-looking statements; however, not all forward-looking statements may contain such words or expressions. These forward-looking statements are based upon information available as of the date of this press release and management’s current estimates, forecasts, and assumptions. Although we believe that our expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we may not achieve the results, performance, plans, or objectives expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.
Risks and uncertainties to which our forward-looking statements are subject include, but are not limited to: volatility and business fluctuations in the industries in which we operate; our ability to achieve design wins with new and existing customers; our ability to accurately forecast and meet customer demand; risks related to global economic conditions, such as the impact of escalating global conflicts on macroeconomic conditions, economic uncertainty, market volatility, rising interest rates, inflation, or recession; risks inherent in our international operations, including the effect of trade and export controls, political and geographical risks, the impact of tariffs on our supply or products, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates; concentration of our customer base; risks associated with breach of our information security measures; our loss of or inability to attract and retain key personnel; disruptions to our manufacturing operations or those of our customers or suppliers; risks associated with our manufacturing footprint optimization and movement of manufacturing locations for certain products; our ability to successfully identify, close, integrate and realize anticipated benefits from our acquisitions; quality issues or unanticipated costs in fulfilling our warranty obligations (including our discontinued solar inverter product line), and adequacy of our warranty reserves; our ability to enforce, protect and maintain our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights; our ability to achieve cost savings, profitability, and gross margin goals; changes to tax laws and regulations or our tax rates; changes in federal, state, local and foreign regulations, including with respect to privacy and data protection, and environmental regulation; the effect of our debt obligations and restrictive covenants on our ability to operate our business; customer price sensitivity; risks related to our unfunded pension obligations; restructuring and severance activities; legal matters, claims, investigations, and proceedings; our estimates of the fair value of intangible assets; and the potential impact of dilution related to our convertible debt, hedge, and warrant transactions.
Actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Factors that could contribute to these differences or prove our forward-looking statements, by hindsight, to be overly optimistic or unachievable include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties listed above and described in Advanced Energy’s Form 10-K, Forms 10-Q and other
