These statements are based\non assumptions made by management, considering its experience in the\nindustries where Valmont operates, perceptions of historical trends, current\nconditions, expected future developments, and other relevant factors. It is\nimportant to note that these statements are not guarantees of future\nperformance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are\nbeyond Valmont’s control), and assumptions. Forward-looking statements may\nbe accompanied by words such as “opportunities,” “estimate,”\n“outlook,” “clear path,” “target,” “expect,” “plan” and\nsimilar expressions. While management believes these forward-looking\nstatements are based on reasonable assumptions as of the date made, numerous\nfactors could cause actual results to differ materially from those\nanticipated. These factors include, among other things, risks described in\nValmont’s reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the\nCompany’s actual cash flows and net income, future economic and market\ncircumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results,\noperational efficiencies, availability and price of raw materials,\navailability and market acceptance of new products, product pricing, domestic\nand international competitive environments, geopolitical risks, and actions\nand policy changes by domestic and foreign governments, including tariffs. The\nCompany cautions that any forward-looking statements in this release are made\nas of its publication date and does not undertake to update these statements,\nexcept as required by law.\n\nThe Company may provide certain non-GAAP financial measures (adjusted diluted\nearnings per share and adjusted effective tax rate) on a forward-looking basis\nfrom time to time. These measures are typically calculated by excluding the\nimpact of items such as foreign exchange, acquisitions, divestitures,\nrealignment or restructuring expenses, goodwill or intangible asset\nimpairment, changes in tax laws or rates, change in redemption value of\nredeemable noncontrolling interests, and other non-recurring items. To the\nextent the Company provide forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures,\nreconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are\nnot provided, as the Company cannot do so without unreasonable effort due to\nthe inherent uncertainty and difficulty in predicting the timing and financial\nimpact of such items. For the same reasons, the Company cannot assess the\nlikely significance of unavailable information, which could be material to\nfuture results.\n\nWebsite and Social Media Disclosure\n\nThe Company uses its website and social media channels, as identified on its\nwebsite, to distribute company information. Posts on these channels may\ncontain material information. Therefore, investors should monitor these\nchannels alongside the Company’s press releases, SEC filings, and public\nconference calls and webcasts.
