In accordance with the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we provide
the following cautionary remarks regarding important factors that,
among others, could cause future results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements, expectations and assumptions
expressed or implied herein. All forward-
looking statements made by us are subject to risks and uncertainties
and are not guarantees of future performance.
These
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause our actual
results, performance and achievements or industry results to be materially different
from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These
statements include EPS guidance and are
generally identified by the use of such terms as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “forecast,”
“project,” “anticipate,” “to be,” “to make” or other comparable

A fuller discussion of our operations,
financial
condition, and status of litigation matters, including factors that may
affect our business and future prospects, is contained in
documents we have filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission, or SEC, and will be contained in all
subsequent periodic filings we make with the SEC. These documents identify
in detail important risk factors that could cause
our actual performance to differ materially from current expectations.
Forward looking statements include the overall impact
of the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the Company, its results of operations, liquidity, and financial
condition (including any estimates of the impact on these items), the rate and
consistency with which dental and other
practices resume or maintain normal operations in the United States and
internationally, expectations regarding personal
protective equipment (“PPE”) and COVID-19 related product sales and inventory
levels and whether additional resurgences
of the virus will adversely impact the resumption of normal operations,
the impact of restructuring programs as well as of any
future acquisitions, and more generally current expectations regarding
performance in current and future periods.
Forward
looking statements also include the (i) ability of the Company to make
additional testing available, the nature of those tests
and the number of tests intended to be made available and the timing for availability, the nature of the target market, as well

been,
independently verified under normal FDA procedures and (ii) potential

vaccines and ancillary supplies.
Risk factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
current and historical results
include, but are not limited to: risks associated with COVID-19,

similar wide spread public health concerns and other natural disasters or
acts of terrorism; our dependence on third parties for
