The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make informed investment decisions. The information on this website contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often include words such as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "intends," "plans," "believes" and words and terms of similar substance in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the adequacy of the Company's liquidity to meet its needs for the foreseeable future, the Company's international expansion plans, the transfer of the management of the SI.com and Golf.com websites from Turner to Time Inc. in the second quarter of 2012, the expectation that soft magazine advertising market conditions will continue through at least the second quarter of 2012, and the expected incurrence of an additional noncash charge of approximately $70 million to $80 million in the second quarter of 2012 following the completion of the shutdown of Turner's general entertainment network in India.
The Company's forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions regarding the Company's business and performance, the economy and other future conditions and forecasts of future events, circumstances and results. As with any projection or forecast, forward-looking statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. The Company's actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in its forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those in its forward-looking statements include government regulation, economic, strategic, political and social conditions and the following factors:
recent and future changes in technology, services and standards, including, but not limited to, alternative methods for the delivery, storage and consumption of digital media and evolving home entertainment formats; changes in consumer behavior, including changes in spending behavior and changes in when, where digital content is consumed; the popularity of the Company's content; changes in the Company's plans, initiatives and strategies, and consumer acceptance thereof; competitive pressures, including as a result of audience fragmentation and changes in technology; the Company's ability to deal effectively with economic slowdowns or other economic or market difficulties; changes in advertising market conditions or advertising expenditures due to, among other things, economic conditions, changes in consumer behavior, pressure from public interest groups, changes in laws and regulations and other societal or political developments; piracy and the Company's ability to exploit and protect its intellectual property rights in and to its content and other products; lower than expected valuations associated with the cash flows and revenues at Time Warner's segments, which could result in Time Warner's inability to realize the value of recorded intangible assets and goodwill at those segments; increased volatility or decreased liquidity in the capital markets, including any limitation on the Company's ability to access the capital markets for debt securities, refinance its outstanding indebtedness or obtain bank financings on acceptable terms; the effects of any significant acquisitions, dispositions and other similar transactions by the Company; the failure to meet earnings expectations; the adequacy of the Company's risk management framework; changes in U.S. GAAP or other applicable accounting policies; the impact of terrorist acts, hostilities, natural disasters (including extreme weather) and pandemic viruses; a disruption or failure of network and information systems or other technology on which the Company's businesses rely; the effect of union or labor disputes or player lockouts affecting the professional sports leagues whose programming is shown on the Company's networks; changes in tax, federal communication and other laws and regulations; changes in foreign exchange rates and in the stability and existence of the Euro; and the other risks and uncertainties detailed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors," in Time Warner's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and in Time Warner's other filings made from time to time with the SEC (copies of which may be obtained through the Investor Relations portion of this website under "Reports & SEC Filings").
Any forward-looking statements made by the Company speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or otherwise.
