This press release contains 'forward-looking statements' about our expectations, plans and performance. These statements use such words as 'may,' 'will,' 'expect,' 'believe,' 'intend,' 'should,' 'could,' 'anticipate,' 'estimate,' 'forecast,' 'project,' 'plan' and similar expressions. These statements do not guarantee future performance and Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. assumes no obligation to update them. Risks and uncertainties that could materially affect future results include whether and to what extent pricing and demand trends for the remainder of 2008 will improve, particularly in light of low consumer confidence levels and the impact of gasoline prices, which could have a significant adverse effect on leisure travel in the peak rental season; the impact of pricing and other actions by competitors, particularly if demand softens; airline travel patterns, including disruptions or reductions in air travel resulting from recent airline bankruptcies, industry consolidation, capacity reductions and pricing actions; the cost and other terms of acquiring and disposing of automobiles; the financial performance and prospects of our principal vehicle supplier; our ability to manage our fleet mix to match demand and reduce vehicle depreciation costs, particularly as we increase the level of Non-Program Vehicles (those without a guaranteed residual value) and exposure to fluctuations in the used car market; our ability to comply with financial covenants and to obtain financing as needed without unduly restricting operational flexibility and our ability to manage the consequences under our financing agreements of a default by any of the Monolines that provide credit support for our asset backed financing structures, particularly given recent events involving the credit markets and the downgrade in the credit ratings of certain of the Monolines; the effectiveness of other actions we take to manage costs and liquidity; disruptions in information and communication systems we rely on; access to reservation distribution channels; the cost of regulatory compliance and the outcome of pending litigation; local market conditions where we and our franchisees do business; and the impact of natural catastrophes and terrorism. Forward-looking statements should be considered in light of information in this press release and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC').
