In connection with, and because it desires to take advantage of, the
“safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, Delphi cautions readers regarding certain forward-looking
statements in the foregoing discussion, such as earnings per share
guidance, and in any other statements made by, or on behalf of, Delphi,
whether in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or
otherwise. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on
historical information and which relate to future operations,
strategies, financial results, prospects, outlooks or other
developments. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by the
use of terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,”
“judgment,” “outlook” or other similar expressions. Forward-looking
statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are
inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and
other uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Delphi’s
control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions,
are subject to change. Examples of such uncertainties and contingencies
include, among other important factors, those affecting the insurance
industry generally, such as the economic and interest rate environment,
federal and state legislative and regulatory developments, including but
not limited to changes in financial services, employee benefit and tax
laws and regulations, changes in accounting rules or interpretation,
market pricing and competitive trends relating to insurance products and
services, acts of terrorism or war, and the availability and cost of
reinsurance, and those relating specifically to Delphi’s business, such
as the level of its insurance premiums and fee income, the claims
experience, persistency and other factors affecting the profitability of
its insurance products, the performance of its investment portfolio and
changes in Delphi’s investment strategy, acquisitions of companies or
blocks of business, and ratings by major rating organizations of Delphi
and its insurance subsidiaries. These uncertainties and contingencies
can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made
by, or on behalf of, Delphi. Forward-looking statements contained in the
foregoing discussion are made as of the date of this press release and
Delphi disclaims any obligation to update these or any other
forward-looking statements.
