Future-oriented statements

This interim statement contains forward-looking statements on the business development of NORMA Group SE that are based on management’s current assumptions and judgments regarding future events and results. All statements in this interim statement other than statements of historical fact could be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are identified by words such as 'anticipates,' ‘believes,’ ‘estimates,’ ‘assume,’ ‘expects,’ ‘forecasts,’ ‘intends,’ ‘may,’, ‘could’ or ‘should,’ ‘will’, ‘continue,’ ‘future,’ opportunity,’ ‘plan,’ and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions relating to the development of the economic, political and legal environment in individual countries, economic regions and markets, and in particular for the machine industry, which we have made on the basis of the information available to us and which we consider to be realistic at the time of publication. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict and out of our control. The financial position and profitability of NORMA Group SE and developments in the economic and regulatory environments may vary substantially (particularly on the down side) from those explicitly or implicitly assumed or described in these forward-looking statements.

This interim statement may include statistical and industry data provided by third parties.  Any such data is taken or derived from information published by industry sources that Norma Group SE believes to be credible and is included in this interim statement to provide information on trends affecting the industry in which the NORMA Group SE operates. Norma Group SE has not independently verified the third-party data, and makes no warranties as to its accuracy or completeness. The information in this interim statement and any other material discussed verbally in connection with this interim statement, including any forward-looking statements, is current only as of the date that it is dated or given.
