Regulation GThe attached charts include company information that does not conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that an analysis of this data is meaningful to investors because it provides insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the company and allows investors to better evaluate the financial results of the company. These measures should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, these measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided by other companies.
This data should be read in conjunction with the company’s fourth quarter earnings news release dated January 27, 2009, which will be furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP results are available on the Investor Center website at www.dupont.com.
During the course of this presentation we may make forward-looking statements or provide forward-looking information. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future are forward-looking statements. Some of these statements include words such as "expects," "anticipates,” "plans," "intends," "projects," and "indicates.” Although they reflect our current expectations, these statements are not guarantees of future performance, but involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Some of those risk factors include economic conditions, competitive pressures, challenges associated with research and development, market acceptance of new products, and regulatory approval. We urge you to review DuPont's SEC filings, particularly its latest annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q, for a discussion of some of the factors which could cause actual results to differ materially. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements as a result of future developments or new information.
