Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form
8-K
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
securities laws. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words or variation of words such as expects, anticipates,
intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, projects, forecasts, targets, would, will, should, goal,
could or may or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements provide managements current expectations or predictions of future conditions, events or results. All statements that address operating performance,
events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. They may include estimates of revenues, income, earnings per share, cost savings, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases,
liquidity, capital structure, market share, industry volume, or other financial items, descriptions of managements plans or objectives for future operations, or descriptions of assumptions underlying any of the above. All forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made and reflect the companys good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, but they are not guarantees of future performance or events. Furthermore, the company disclaims any obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as required by law. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, a variety of economic, competitive and regulatory factors, many of which are beyond the companys control. Such factors are described in our
Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as well as additional factors we may describe from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). You may get such filings for free at our website at www.peabodyenergy.com. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and, consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a
complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.
