UTi Worldwide Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation, which we refer to as UTi or the company, issued a news release dated December 1, 2011, which we refer to as the Earnings News Release, announcing its results for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011. The Earnings News Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of the Section. The information contained in the Earnings News Release shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(c) Exhibits

Safe Harbor Statement

Certain statements in this news release may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The company intends that all such statements be subject to the “safe-harbor” provisions contained in those sections. Such forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about the slowing global economy and fluctuations in currency and their potential impact on the fourth quarter, and other statements not of an historical nature. Many important factors may cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from those discussed in any such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the recent economic and political volatility, particularly in Europe and the Middle East, that has materially impacted trade volumes, transportation capacity and pricing dynamics; the financial condition of various European countries; the financial condition of many of the company’s customers; planned or unplanned consequences of the company’s sales initiatives, procurement initiatives and business transformation efforts; the demand for the company’s services; the impact and related costs associated with reorganization efforts and/or cost reduction measures undertaken by the company; increased competition; the impact of volatile fuel costs and changes in foreign exchange rates; changes in the company’s effective tax rates; industry consolidation making it more difficult to compete against larger companies; general economic, political and market conditions, including those in Africa, Asia and EMENA; work stoppages or slowdowns or other material interruptions in transportation services; risks of international operations; risks associated with, and costs and expenses the company will incur as a result of, the ongoing publicly announced U.S. Department of Justice and other governmental investigations into the pricing practices of the air cargo transportation industry and other similar or related investigations and lawsuits; disruptions caused by epidemics, natural disasters, conflicts, wars and terrorism; and the other risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” and “Forward-looking Statements” in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and described in the company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although UTi believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, the company cannot assure the reader that the results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized in the timeframe anticipated or at all. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by UTi or any other person that UTi’s objectives or plans will be achieved. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the company’s forward-looking statements. UTi undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
