Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements: Certain statements and
information included in this presentation are "forward-looking statements"
under the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Accordingly, these forward-looking statements should be evaluated with
consideration given to the many risks and uncertainties inherent in our
business that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause
such differences include, among others, our ability to obtain adequate profit
margins for our services, our inability to maintain current pricing levels due
to customer acceptance or competition, customer retention levels, unexpected
volume declines, loss of key customers in the Supply Chain Solutions (SCS)
business segment, unexpected reserves or write-offs due to the deterioration
of the credit worthiness or bankruptcy of certain customers in our SCS
business segment, the possibility that changes in customers' business
environments will limit their ability to commit to long-term vehicle leases,
changes in market conditions affecting the commercial rental market or the
sale of used vehicles, increased competition from vehicle manufacturers and
large service providers, higher borrowing costs and possible decreases in
available funding sources caused by adverse changes in debt ratings, changes
in accounting assumptions, adequacy of accounting accruals, changes in general
economic conditions, unexpected reserves or losses due to the effects of
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on our operations and the economy, availability of
heavy- and medium-duty vehicles, increases in fuel prices, availability of
qualified drivers, our ability to create operating synergies in connection
with our acquisitions, our ability to manage our cost structure and changes in
government regulations, including regulations regarding vehicle emissions,
drivers' hours of service and security regulations issued by the Department of
Homeland Security. The risks included here are not exhaustive. New risks
emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all
such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risks on our business.
Accordingly, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events, or otherwise.
