SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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, our ability to import product, inventory levels, inventory composition and mix, the continued licensing of certain of our proprietary rights, the impact of artificial intelligence on our business, consumer and customer spending and preferences, the performance of our international businesses, the impact of tariffs, international trade policy and the economic and geopolitical environment, including the impacts of the conflict in the Middle East, 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 price increases, the effect of our pricing, promotional and segmentation strategies, the impact of seasonal trends, the effectiveness of our risk management strategies and hedging activities, the Columbia brand ACCELERATE Growth Strategy, as well as our other company-wide strategic priorities, our ability to expand gross margin, manage expenses and improve operating margin, effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, the countries from which we expect to source raw materials and our ability to identify and quantify alternative contract manufacturers and raw material sources, capital expenditures, our effective income tax rate, the outcome of legal proceedings, the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements, share repurchases, dividends and other capital allocation priorities, and our short- and long-term cash needs, our liquidity 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 Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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.
