Previous report
Any strategic initiative, business, technology, service, or product that we may pursue, acquire, invest in, reposition, or divest may not perform as anticipated or deliver the expected benefits. In addition, from time to time we may allocate capital to share repurchases or other capital return initiatives, which may not achieve the desired results, including with respect to enhancing long-term stockholder value. Accordingly, any future strategic initiatives, operational decisions, or capital allocation actions we may consider could involve risks or uncertainties that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
