Safe HarborCaution Concerning Forward-Looking StatementsThis presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify those so-called “forward-looking statements” by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,”“potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of those words and other comparable words. We wish to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provided for by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and we caution you that actual events or results may differ materially from the expectations we express in our forward-looking statements as a result of various risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include: (1) changes in the competitive environment, (2) changes in business and economic conditions, (3) changes in our programming costs, (4) changes in laws and regulations, (5) changes in technology, (6) adverse decisions in litigation matters, (7) risks associated with acquisitions and other strategic transactions, (8) changes in assumptions underlying our critical accounting policies, and (9) other risks described from time to time in reports and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. The amount and timing of share repurchases and dividends is subject to business, economic and other relevant factors. Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresOur presentation may also contain non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G, adopted by the SEC. We provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in our quarterly earnings releases, which can be found on the Financial Information page of our web site at www.cmcsa.com or www.cmcsk.com.
