FORWARD
LOOKING
STATEMENT
AND
NON
-GAAP
DISCLOSURES
All
statements
and
other
information
contained
in
this
document
related
to
anticipated
future
events
or
results
constitute
forward-looking
statements.
Forward-looking
statements
often,
but
not
always,
are
identified
by
the
use
of
words
such
as
“seek”,
“anticipate”,
“believe”,
“plan”,
“estimate”,
“expect”,
“intend”,
“forecast”,
“project”,
“likely”,
“potential”,
“targeted”
and
“possible”
and
statements
that
an
event
or
result
“may”,
“will”,
“would”,
“should”,
“could”
or
“might”
occur
or
be
achieved
and
other
similar
expressions.
Forward-looking
statements
are
subject
to
known
and
unknown
business
and
economic
risks
and
uncertainties
and
other
factors
that
could
cause
actual
results
of
operations
to
differ
materially
from
those
expressed
or
implied
by
the
forward-looking
statements.
Forward-
looking
statements
are
based
on
estimates
and
opinions
of
management
at
the
date
the
statements
are
made.
Northern
Power
Systems
does
not
undertake
any
obligation
to
update
forward-looking
statements
even
if
circumstances
or
management’s
estimates
or
opinions
should
change,
except
as
required
by
law.
For
the
reasons
set
forth
above,
investors
should
not
place
undue
reliance
on
forward-looking
statements.
This
presentation
references
non-GAAP
financial
measures
with
the
required
reconciliation
referenced
in
the
table
captioned
“Non-GAAP
Reconciliations”
to
the
most
comparable
GAAP
financial
measures.
