There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others: future global economic conditions, our ability to restore manufacturing capacity at our Pori, Finland manufacturing facility or elsewhere in our manufacturing network, increasing construction costs at our Pori manufacturing facility, losses due to business interruption from the fire, the possibility that Tronox may not be required to divest the Ashtabula complex in connection with its proposed merger with Cristal, the failure to consummate the proposed Tronox transactions when expected or at all, the possibility that any synergies and cost savings associated with the proposed Tronox transactions may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, or the ability to integrate successfully the Ashtabula assets if acquired, changes in raw material and energy prices, access to capital markets, industry production capacity and operating rates, the supply demand balance for our products and that of competing products, pricing pressures, technological developments, changes in government regulations, geopolitical events and other risk factors as discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed on February 23, 2018. This presentation contains financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"), including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and net debt and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom.
