This press release contains certain statements that constitute
forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities
laws ("forward-looking statements"). Statements concerning D+H's
objectives, goals, strategies, intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations
and estimates, and the business, operations, financial performance and
condition of D+H are forward-looking statements. The words "believe",
"expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "intend", "may", "will", "would"
and similar expressions and the negative of such expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all
forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These
forward-looking statements are subject to important assumptions,
including the following specific assumptions: the ability of D+H to
meet its revenue, "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted net income"
targets (see Non-IFRS Financial Measures for a more complete
description of the terms EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net
income); general industry and economic conditions; changes in D+H's
relationship with its customers and suppliers; pricing pressures and
other competitive factors; the anticipated effect of acquisitions on
the financial performance of D+H; and the expected benefits arising as
a result of acquisitions. D+H has also made certain macroeconomic and
general industry assumptions in the preparation of such forward-looking
statements. While D+H considers these factors and assumptions to be
reasonable based on information currently available, there can be no
assurance that actual results will be consistent with these
forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause D+H's actual results,
performance or achievements, or developments in its industry, to differ
materially from the anticipated results, performance, achievements or
developments expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Risks related to forward-looking statements include, among other things,
challenges presented by declines in the use of personal and business
cheques; the Company's dependence on a limited number of large
financial institution customers and dependence on their acceptance of
new programs; strategic initiatives being undertaken to meet the
Company's financial objective; stability and growth in the real estate,
mortgage and lending markets; increased pricing pressures and increased
competition which could lead to loss of contracts or reduced margins;
as well as general market conditions, including economic and interest
rate dynamics. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The documents
incorporated by reference herein also identify additional factors that
could affect the operating results and performance of the Company.
Forward-looking statements are based on management's current plans,
estimates, projections, beliefs and opinions, and D+H does not
undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements should
assumptions related to these plans, estimates, projections, beliefs and
opinions change except as required by applicable securities laws.
All of the forward-looking statements made in this MD&A and the
documents incorporated by reference herein are qualified by these
cautionary statements and other cautionary statements or factors
contained herein, and there can be no assurance that the actual results
or developments will be realized or, even if substantially realized,
that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the
Company.
