This report contains forward-looking statements that are intended to qualify for the safe-harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other matters, our efforts, plans, goals, and strategies with respect to sustainability and environmental matters and the potential benefits to us and our customers from such efforts.
Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations and not facts. Words such as “forecasts,” “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes,” “plans,” “will,” “target,” “guidance,” “potential,” “goal,” “consider” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements reflect information available and assumptions at the time the statements are made, and accordingly, speak only as of that time.
Actual results or developments might differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements contained herein as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, changes in clean energy and climate-related laws and policies, the receipt of regulatory approval for the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ anticipated clean energy and climate-related investments, and various other factors such as those identified in reports the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors include that the Company’s subsidiaries are extensively regulated and may be subject to substantial penalties; its utility subsidiaries’ rate plans may not provide a reasonable return; it may be adversely affected by changes to its utility subsidiaries’ rate plans; the failure of, or damage to, its subsidiaries’ facilities could adversely affect it; a cyber-attack could adversely affect it; the failure of processes and systems, the failure to retain and attract employees and contractors, and its subsidiaries’ negative performance could adversely affect it; it is exposed to risks from the environmental consequences of its subsidiaries’ operations, including increased costs related to climate change; its ability to pay dividends or interest depends on dividends from its subsidiaries; changes to tax laws could adversely affect it; it requires access to capital markets to satisfy funding requirements; a disruption in the wholesale energy markets, increased commodity costs or failure by an energy supplier or customer could adversely affect it; it faces risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks; its strategies may not be effective to address changes in the external business environment; it faces risks related to supply chain disruptions, inflation, and the imposition of tariffs; and it also faces other risks that are beyond its control. This list of factors is not all-inclusive because it is not possible to predict all factors that could cause actual results or developments to differ from the forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
