Safe Harbor
Some of the information contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is intended
to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those
sections. These statements relate to future events or our future
financial performance.
Without limiting the foregoing, all statements relating to our:
future outlook; anticipated capital expenditures; future cash flows
and borrowings; and sources of funding are forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are based on numerous
assumptions that we believe are reasonable, but they are open to a
wide range of uncertainties and business risks and actual results
may differ materially from those discussed in these
statements.
Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially are: growth in coal and power markets; coal's market
share of electricity generation; timing of reductions in customer
coal inventories; the pace and extent of the economic recovery and
future economic conditions; severity of weather; railroad and other
transportation performance and costs; the ability to renew sales
contracts upon expiration or renegotiation; the ability to
successfully implement operating strategies; the effectiveness of
our cost-cutting measures; regulatory and court decisions; future
legislation; changes in postretirement benefit and pension
obligations; credit, market and performance risk associated with
our customers; modification or termination of our long-term coal
supply agreements; risks inherent to mining, including geologic
conditions or unforeseen equipment problems; terrorist attacks or
threats affecting our or our customers' operations; replacement of
recoverable reserves; implementation of new accounting standards;
inflationary trends, interest rates and access to capital markets;
and other risk factors.
When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep
in mind the cautionary statements in our documents filed with the
SEC or incorporated by reference.
