Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements related to, among other things, future financial and operating results of our Company. In many cases, the forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance.
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, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited, to the following: changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; compliance with extensive government regulation of our operating subsidiaries and adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations or in their application by regulators; loss of key personnel that could negatively affect our financial results and impair our operating abilities; our potential inability to find suitable acquisition or other investment candidates, acquisitions or investments in lines of business that will not necessarily be limited to our traditional areas of focus, our ability to complete acquisitions or investments, or difficulties in integrating acquisitions; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; risks associated with our split-off from Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (the “Split-Off”), including limitations on our strategic and operating flexibility related to the tax-free nature of the Split-Off and the Investment Company Act of 1940.
This press release should be read in conjunction with the risks detailed in the “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors,” and other sections of the Company’s Form 10-K, 10-Q and other filings with the SEC.
Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. If any of these risks materialize, or if any of the above assumptions underlying forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results and developments may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. For the reasons described above, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in this press release. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release speaks only as of the date on which we make it. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or to revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should be viewed as historical data.
