This website contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating
to us that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by, and information
currently available to, us. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our strategies,
plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, expenditures, and assumptions and other statements contained
in this website that are not historical facts. When used in this document, words such as "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan"
and "project" and similar expressions, as they relate to us are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events, are not guarantees
of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Further, certain
forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate.
Many factors could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to
be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things:
- changes
in general economic, business, political and regulatory conditions in the countries or regions in which
we operate;
- the length and depth of product and industry business cycles particularly
in the automotive, electrical, electronics, construction and textile industries;
- changes
in the price and availability of raw materials, particularly changes in the demand for, supply of, and
market prices of fuel oil, natural gas, coal, wood pulp, electricity and petrochemicals such as ethylene,
propylene and butane, including changes in production quotas in OPEC countries and the deregulation
of the natural gas transmission industry in Europe;
- the ability to pass increases
in raw material prices on to customers or otherwise improve margins through price increases;
- the
ability to maintain plant utilization rates and to implement planned capacity additions and expansions;
- the ability to reduce production costs and improve productivity by implementing
technological improvements to existing plants;
- the existence of temporary
industry surplus production capacity resulting from the integration and start-up of new world-scale
plants;
- increased price competition and the introduction of competing products
by other companies;
- the ability to develop, introduce and market innovative
products, product grades and applications, particularly in the Technical Polymers Ticona and Performance
Products segments of our business;
- changes in the degree of patent and other
legal protection afforded to our products;
- compliance costs and potential
disruption or interruption of production due to accidents or other unforeseen events or delays in construction
of facilities;
- potential liability for remedial actions under existing or
future environmental regulations;
- potential liability resulting from pending
or future litigation, or from changes in the laws, regulations or policies of governments or other governmental
activities in the countries in which we operate;
- changes in currency exchange
rates and interest rates;
- the ability to comply with the covenants and other
restrictions in our debt instruments, a failure of which could lead to additional restrictions, costs
or an acceleration of our indebtedness;
- changes in the composition or restructuring
of us or our subsidiaries and the successful completion of acquisitions, divestitures and joint venture
activities;
- pending or future challenges to the Domination Agreement and continuing
access to the cash flows of Celanese AG; and
- various other factors, both referenced
and not referenced in this website.
Many of these factors are macroeconomic
in nature and are, therefore, beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements
may vary materially from those described in this website as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected,
intended, planned or projected. We neither intend nor assume any obligation to update these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of their dates
