SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements often use words such as "will", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "should", "may", "believe" and other words and terms of similar meaning or reference future dates. Forward-looking statements include any statements related to our expectations regarding the effectiveness of our investments, future performance or market position, manufacturing locations of our inventory, inventory mix, the continued licensing of certain of our proprietary rights, consumer and customer spending and preferences, the performance of our international businesses, the impact of tariffs imposed pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") (the "incremental tariffs"), the roll-back of incremental tariffs and any additional actions taken in response to their roll-back, including tariffs imposed pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 (the "122 tariffs"), our ability to recover refunds of incremental tariff amounts paid, international trade policy and the economic and geopolitical environment, consumer and customer behaviors and expectations and our ability to serve and retain existing, value-oriented consumers while attracting new consumers, product price elasticities resulting from tariff-induced price increases, the effect of our pricing, promotional and segmentation strategies, the impact of seasonal trends, the effectiveness of our risk management strategies, the performance and expected benefits of our Profit Improvement Program, the Columbia brand ACCELERATE Growth Strategy and our increased investment in demand creation, effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, the countries from which we expect to source raw materials, the impact of prior or ongoing tax audits on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, capital expenditures, and our short and long-term cash needs and our ability to meet those needs.

These forward-looking statements, and others we make from time to time expressed in good faith, are believed to have a reasonable basis; however, each forward-looking statement involves risks and uncertainties. Many factors may cause actual results to differ materially from projected results in forward-looking statements, including the risks described in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements are inherently less reliable than historical information. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any duty to update forward-looking statements after the date they are made or to conform them to actual results or to changes in circumstances or to reflect changes in events, circumstances or expectations. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict or assess the effects of all such factors or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
