Safe Harbor Statement
Statements in this presentation that are not statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our expected financial and operating results in future periods and statements regarding our expectations regarding the growth of our company, our market opportunity, product roadmap, including artificial intelligence, sales efficiency efforts and our industry. In some cases, you can identify forward- looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "intend," "potential," "might," "would," "continue," or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.
We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, strategy, short-andlong-term business operations, prospects, business strategy and financial needs. Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those previously disclosed in the sections titled "Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and other public communications. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. We cannot assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.
The forward-looking statements made in this presentation relate only to events as of the date on which such statements are made. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our SEC filings and public communications. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof or to conform such statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law.
