Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This annual report contains forward-looking statements
that reflect our current views about future events.
We use the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,”
“should” and similar expressions to identify forward-
looking statements. These statements are subject to
many risks and uncertainties, including:
– changes in general political, economic and business
conditions, especially an economic downturn or slow
economic growth in Europe or North America;
– changes in currency exchange rates and interest
rates;
– introduction of competing products and lack of accep-
tance of our new products or services;
– increased competitive pressures which limit our ability
to reduce sales incentives and raise prices;
– whether Chrysler Group, Freightliner, and Mitsubishi
Motors will be able to continue to implement their
turnaround plans successfully and especially whether
they will be able to meet their revenue enhancement,
efficiency and cost reduction initiatives;
– shortages or interruptions in the supply of fuel or
production materials, or labor strikes;
– changes in laws, regulations and government policies,
particularly those relating to vehicle emissions,
fuel economy and safety, and the outcome of current
pending and possible future legal proceedings;
– decline in resale prices of used vehicles;
– changes in business strategy; and
– other risks and uncertainties, some of which we
describe under the heading “Risk Report” on the
pages 78 to 83 of this annual report.
If any of these risks and uncertainties occur, or if the
assumptions underlying any of our forward-looking
statements prove incorrect, then our actual results may
be materially different from those we express or imply
by such statements. We do not intend or assume any
obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the
date on which it is made.
