This web site contains certain forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements on this web site refer to our expectations regarding anticipated earnings, continued operating improvements and other matters. When used on this web site, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "plan," "intend" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect management's expectations at the time the content was prepared and are based on data available at the time the content was prepared; however, actual results are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could materially affect actual performance.
Risks and uncertainties that could affect our future performance include, but are not limited to, the following: competition, including product and pricing pressures; changing trends in consumer tastes; changes in our relationship and/or support programs between brand owners and anchor bottlers; market acceptance of new product and package offerings; weather conditions; cost and availability of raw materials; changing legislation; outcomes of environmental claims and litigation; availability and cost of capital including changes in our debt ratings; labor and employee benefit costs; unfavorable interest rate and currency fluctuations; costs of legal proceedings; and general economic, business and political conditions in the countries and territories where we operate. Any forward-looking statement should be read in conjunction with information about risks and uncertainties set forth in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
These events and uncertainties are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many are beyond our control. We assume no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
