FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This annual report on Form 10-K and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein include
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.
We use words such as “anticipate,” believe,” “could,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “guidance,”
“indicate,” “intend,” “may,” “outlook,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions or
the negative thereof to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain
these identifying words. Forward-looking statements appear throughout this annual report and the documents
incorporated by reference into this annual report.
All of our statements, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements, including
estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans and objectives, expected financial performance
and expected results of operations, our operations and related industry developments, expected fuel costs, the
revenue and pricing environment, our future financing plans and needs, our overall financial condition, and the
overall economic environment. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions upon which such
statements are based.
Forward-looking statements are based upon information currently available to us and our current intent, beliefs,
and expectations. Certain forward-looking statements discuss the possible future effects of current known trends
or uncertainties and include statements which indicate that the future effects of known trends or uncertainties
cannot be predicted, guaranteed or assured.
Forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events
including our actual results and financial position, to differ materially from expectations. Likewise the timing of
certain events may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. There may be other
existing factors not identified, of which we may not be currently aware or which we may not appreciate, that
may be separate risks or that may affect matters discussed in the forward-looking statements and such unknown
or unappreciated or underappreciated risks also may cause actual events and results to differ materially from
those discussed. We cannot guarantee that we actually will achieve the plans, intentions or expectations
disclosed in our forward-looking statements and, accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on our
forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, based on the information
available to us on the date specified or, if no date is specified then as of the date of this annual report. Except as
may be required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statement to reflect new information or changes in assumptions, events or circumstances after the date on which
the statement is made, including actual results or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in
other factors affecting such statements. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to
predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the
extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual events or results to differ materially
from information contained in any forward-looking statements.
It is routine for our internal projections and expectations to change as the year or each quarter in the year
progress, and therefore it should be clearly understood that the internal projections, beliefs, and assumptions
upon which we base our expectations may change. As noted above, although these expectations may change,
we may not inform you if they do, except as required by law.
