The explanations in this presentation are partially forward-looking statements that are based on the company management's current expectations, assumptions and assessments for future developments. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainty that are largely beyond the company's control. This includes changes in the overall economic situation, such as impacts from geopolitical conflicts, natural catastrophes, pandemics and similar force majeure events, debt issues, within the intralogistics sector, in materials supply, the availability and price development of energy and raw materials, demand in important
markets, developments in competition and regulatory frameworks and regulations, exchange and interest rates and the outcome of pending or future legal proceedings. Should these or other uncertainties or unknown factors apply or the assumptions on which these statements are based proved false, actual results may deviate significantly from the results stated or implied. No responsibility is therefore taken for forward- looking statements. Without prejudice to existing capital market obligations, there is no intention to accept any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
