This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements relating to the business, financial performance and earnings of Demag Cranes AG and its subsidiaries and associates. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are indicated by words and phrases such as ‘believe’, ‘expect’, ‘forecast’, ‘intend’, ‘project’, ‘plan’, ‘estimate’, ‘aim’, ‘anticipate’, ‘assume’, ‘target’ and similar. Forward-looking statements are based on current plans, estimates, projections and expectations and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to estimate and which in general are beyond the control of Demag Cranes AG. Consequently, actual developments as well as actual earnings and performance may differ materially from that which is explicitly or implicitly assumed in the forward-looking statements.

Demag Cranes AG gives no guarantee that expectations and targets explicitly or implicitly assumed in forward-looking statements will be attained. Demag Cranes AG does not intend or accept any obligation to publish updates of these forward-looking statements incorporating events or circumstances subsequent to publication of this Annual Report.

All figures are rounded to the nearest thousand Euros unless otherwise stated. The amount shown for each individual item and total is the figure with the smallest rounding difference. Reported totals may therefore differ slightly from the sum of the individual reported amounts.
