Although Applus believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, investors and holders of Applus shares are cautioned that forward-looking information and statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of Applus, that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied or projected by the forward-looking information and statements. Such forward looking statements, by its nature, are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause actual developments or results to differ from those expressed or implied in these forward looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those discussed or identified in fuller disclosure documents filed by Applus with the Spanish Market Regulator, the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores. Except as required under applicable law, Applus does not undertake to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that the projected performance, conditions or events expressed or implied therein will not be realized. This document contains summarized information or information that has not been audited. In this sense this information is subject to, and must be read in conjunction with other publicly available information including if necessary any fuller disclosure document published by Applus.
