Forward-looking statements
The Information, including information included or incorporated by reference, contains "forward-looking statements" concerning GVC and Ladbrokes Coral that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "is subject to", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes", "targets", "aims", "projects", "possible" or "potential" or words or terms of similar substance or the negative thereof, as well as variations of such phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might", or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond GVC and Ladbrokes Coral's ability to control or estimate precisely, such as future market conditions, changes in regulatory environment and the behaviour of other market participants. Neither GVC nor Ladbrokes Coral can give any assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to have been correct. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the relevant Information. Neither GVC nor Ladbrokes Coral undertakes any obligation to update or revise publicly any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, no statement in the Microsite is intended to constitute a profit forecast for any period and no statement should be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share will necessarily be greater or lesser than those for the relevant preceding financial periods for GVC and/or Ladbrokes Coral (as appropriate).
