In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw material costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; • The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; including recessionary conditions • The current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows • Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; • Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; • Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; • Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; • An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; • Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; • Information systems failures and cyberattacks; • Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; • The ability to obtain required regulatory approvals and otherwise consummate the proposed sales of the Distribution business; and • Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation and any recessionary conditions Use of Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.
This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non-routine costs.

There are quite a few options in the mineral family, and they not only reduce cost, they can also boost strength when added to a polymer.
It’s a relatively inexpensive material, one that's widely used at large percentages to reduce the cost of a compound.
Combining fiber types, such as long-glass and long-carbon fibers, or combining fibers with minerals, such as talc, can optimize the cost and physical properties of your composite.

• Tight batch-to-batch tolerance • Wide Dk range from 2.6 up to 23 • Lower weight and better impact resistance than ceramics • Isotropic material suits well for narrow beam widths (less than 0.2°) • Injection molding for complex shapes • Low cost mass manufacturing Whether we are talking about portable satellite terminals or stationary land stations, the material requirements are alike: reliable, low loss materials with low manufacturing costs, light weight and the ability to form complex shapes.

This often causes additional damage to the motor’s lower unit, costing up to several thousand dollars to repair.
Changing a damaged or broken blade is more cost- effective than replacing an entire propeller—or even worse, a lower unit—due to underwater impact.
