Forward-Looking Statements 18 Certain matters discussed in this presentation and conference call are forward-looking statements, including that for the first quarter of 2014, the company expects solar energy systems sold total non-GAAP sales volume to be in the range of 60 MW to 80 MW, solar energy systems MW retained on the balance sheet to be between 100 MW and 120 MW, total solar energy systems completed to be between 160 MW and 200 MW, and that fully developed solar energy systems average project pricing to be between $2.85/watt and $3.15/watt; that for the 2014 full year, the company expects solar energy systems sold total non-GAAP sales volume to be in the range of 460 MW to 580 MW, solar energy systems MW retained on the balance sheet to be between 440 MW and 570 MW, total energy systems completed to be between 900 MW and 1150 MW, and total solar energy systems average project pricing to be between $2.40/watt and $2.75/watt and that the company estimates compound annual growth rate through 2014 of 90% and MW completion to be in the range of 900 MW and 1150 MW. Such statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include concentrated project development risks related to large scale solar projects; the availability of attractive project finance and other capital for Solar Energy projects; market demand for our products and services; changes in the pricing environment for silicon wafers and polysilicon, as well as solar power systems; the availability and size of government and economic incentives to adopt solar power, including tax policy and credits and renewable portfolio standards; the ability to effectuate and realize the savings from the restructuring plan; our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and compliance with our debt covenants; the need to impair long lived assets or other intangible assets due to changes in the carrying value or realizability of such assets; the effect of any antidumping or countervailing duties imposed on photovoltaic cells and/or modules in connection with any trade complaints in the United States, Europe or elsewhere; the result of any Chinese government investigations of unfair trade practices in connection with polysilicon exported from the United States or South Korea into China; changes to accounting interpretations or accounting rules; existing or new regulations and policies governing the electric utility industry; our ability to convert solar project pipeline into completed projects in accordance with our current expectations; dependence on single and limited source suppliers; utilization of our manufacturing volume and capacity; the terms of any potential future amendments to or terminations of our long-term agreements with our solar wafer customers or any of our suppliers; general economic conditions, including interest rates; the ability of our customers to pay their debts as they become due; changes in the composition of worldwide taxable income and applicable tax laws and regulations, including our ability to utilize any net operating losses; failure of third-party subcontractors to construct and install our solar energy systems; quarterly fluctuations in our Solar Energy business; the impact of competitive products and technologies; inventory levels of our customers; supply chain difficulties or problems; interruption of production; outcome of pending and future litigation matters; good working order of our manufacturing facilities; our ability to reduce manufacturing and operating costs; assumptions underlying management's financial estimates; actions by competitors, customers and suppliers; changes in the retail industry; damage to our brand; acquisitions of pipeline in our Solar Energy segment; changes in product specifications and manufacturing processes; changes in financial market conditions; changes in foreign economic and political conditions; changes in technology; changes in currency exchange rates; the potential initial public offering of the semiconductor business and the anticipated timing of such transaction, and the expected use of the proceeds received in the separation and other risks described in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and the potential public offering of a yield co vehicle and the anticipated timing of such transaction. These forward-looking statements represent the company’s judgment as of the date of this press release. The company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
