FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this annual report on Form 40-F (the “Annual Report”) of ATS Corporation (the Registrant”) constitute forward-looking information. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements use words or phrases such as: “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “goal”, “guidance”, “intend”, “likely”, “objective”, “opportunity”, “plan”, “possible”, “potential”, “probable”, “project”, “target” or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Registrant, or developments in the Registrant’s business or in its industry, to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance, achievements, or developments expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important risks, uncertainties, and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the impact of regional or global conflicts; general market performance including capital market conditions and availability and cost of credit; performance of the markets that the Registrant serves; industry challenges in securing the supply of labor, materials, and, in certain jurisdictions, energy sources such as natural gas; impact of inflation; interest rate changes; foreign currency and exchange risk; the relative strength of the Canadian dollar; risks related to customer concentration; risks related to a recession, slowdown, and/or sustained downturn in the economy; impact of factors such as increased pricing pressure, increased cost of energy and supplies, and delays in relation thereto, and possible margin compression; the regulatory and tax environment; the emergence of new infectious diseases or any epidemic or pandemic outbreak or resurgence and collateral consequences thereof, including the disruption of economic activity, volatility in capital and credit markets, and legislative and regulatory responses; inability to successfully expand organically or through acquisition, due to an inability to grow expertise, personnel, and/or facilities at required rates or to identify, negotiate and conclude one or more acquisitions, or to raise, through debt or equity, or otherwise have available, required capital; that the market opportunities the Registrant anticipates do not materialize or that the Registrant is unable to exploit such opportunities; that the Registrant is unable to expand in emerging markets, or is delayed in relation thereto, due to any number of reasons, including inability to effectively execute organic or inorganic expansion plans, focus on other business priorities, or local government regulation or delays; the effect of events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transaction counterparties, or other companies in the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, that have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems; energy shortages and global prices increases; the failure to realize the savings expected from reorganization activity or within the expected timelines; risk that the ultimate outcome of lawsuits, claims, and contingencies give rise to material liabilities for which no provisions have been recorded; that the Registrant is not successful in growing its product portfolio and/or service offering or that expected benefits are not realized; that acquisitions made are not integrated as quickly or effectively as planned or expected and, as a result, anticipated benefits and synergies are not realized; the consequences of activist initiatives on business performance, results, or share price of the Registrant; the impact of analyst reports on price and trading volume of the Registrant’s shares; and those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Registrant’s Annual Information Form incorporated by reference herein. Although the Registrant has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information and forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such information or statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information or statements. The forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are made as of the date hereof and the Registrant disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements or forward-looking information contained herein to reflect future results, unless so required by applicable securities laws. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information. The forward-looking information contained herein is presented for the purpose of assisting investors in understanding the Registrant’s expected financial and operational performance and results as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented in the Registrant’s plans and objectives and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
