Forward-Looking Statements
This report, and other presentations made by NW Holdings or NW Natural from time
to time, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S.
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can
be identified by words such as "anticipates," "assumes," "intends," "plans,"
"seeks," "believes," "estimates," "expects" and similar references to future
periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding the following: plans, objectives, assumptions,
expectations, estimates, timing, goals, strategies, expenses, future events,
strategic goals and visions; decarbonization and the role of natural gas and the
gas delivery system, including use of renewables such as RNG; RNG gas projects
or investments, investment amounts and timing and likelihood of completion
related thereto; RNG project construction timing and completion; procurement of
RNG for customers; RNG generation, greenhouse gas emissions and savings;
likelihood and timing of further RNG and other renewable energy initiatives,
financial results, performance, effects of future regulatory proceedings, and
other statements that are other than statements of historical facts.
Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions
regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because
forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent
uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.
Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the
forward-looking statements. You are therefore cautioned against relying on any
of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical
fact nor guarantees or assurances of future operational, economic or financial
performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements are discussed by
reference to the factors described in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors", and Part
II, Item 7 and Item 7A "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and "Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosure about Market Risk" in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and
in Part I, Items 2 and 3 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and "Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk", and Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors", in the
quarterly reports filed thereafter.
All forward-looking statements made in this report and all subsequent
forward-looking statements, whether written or oral and whether made by or on
behalf of NW Holdings or NW Natural, are expressly qualified by these cautionary
statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which
such statement is made, and NW Holdings and NW Natural undertake no obligation
to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new
information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such
factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which
any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially
from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
