Item 1A. Risk Factors
We caution that our future results may vary materially from those contained in forward-looking statements
that we make in this Report and other filings with the SEC, press releases, communications with investors and oral
statements due to the following important factors, among others. Our forward-looking statements in this Report and
in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. These statements can be affected by, among
other things, inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties or risks we
currently deem immaterial. Many factors mentioned in the discussion below will be important in determining future
results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. We undertake no obligation to update any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Risks Related to Our Business
If our long-term growth strategy is not successful or if our financial projections relating to the effects of our
strategy turn out to be incorrect, our business and financial results could be harmed.
We may not achieve the objectives of the long-term investment and financial strategy we originally
announced in July 2011, our associated financial projections relating to the long-term growth of our business may
turn out to be incorrect, and our investments in our business may fail to positively impact our revenue or earnings
per share, or EPS, growth as anticipated. Some of the factors that could cause our investment strategy and our
overall business strategy to fail to achieve our objectives include, among others:
our failure to adequately execute our operational strategy or anticipate and overcome obstacles to
achieving our strategic goals;
our failure to make our intended investments because the investments are more costly than we
expected or because we are unable to devote the necessary operational and financial resources;
