Forward looking information
This document contains forward-looking information that reflects management’s current expectations related to matters such as future financial performance and operating results of the Company.
Forward-looking statements are provided for the purposes of providing information about Management’s current expectations and plans and allowing investors and others to get a better understanding
of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and operating environment. Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other circumstances.
All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this document may constitute forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, statements concerning Management's
expectations relating to possible or assumed future prospects and results, the Company’s strategic goals and priorities, its actions and the results of those actions and the economic and business
outlook for the Company. Often but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "estimate", "plan",
"could", "should", "would", "outlook", "forecast", "anticipate", "foresee", "continue" or the negative of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements are based on
the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analyses, beliefs and opinions of Management, made in light of its experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well
as other factors that Management believes to be relevant and reasonable at the date that such statements are made.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements require Management to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, which give rise to the possibility that the Company's
assumptions, estimates, analyses, beliefs and opinions may not be correct and that the Company's expectations and plans will not be achieved. Examples of Management’s beliefs, which may prove
to be incorrect include, but are not limited to, beliefs about the effectiveness of certain performance measures, beliefs about current and future competitive conditions and the Company’s position in the
competitive environment, beliefs about the Company’s core capabilities and beliefs regarding the availability of sufficient liquidity to meet the Company’s contractual obligations. Although the Company
believes that the forward-looking statements in this document are based on information, and assumptions and beliefs that are current, reasonable and complete, these statements are necessarily
subject to a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Management’s expectations and plans as set forth in such forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons.
Some of the factors – many of which are beyond the Company’s control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict – include: (a) credit, market, currency, operational, liquidity and funding risks,
including changes in economic conditions, interest rates or tax rates; (b) the ability of the Company to attract and retain high quality employees for all of its businesse s, Dealers, Canadian Tire
Petroleum agents and Mark' s Work Wearhouse and FGL Sports franchisees, as well as the Company’s financial arrangements with such parties; (c) the growth of certain business categories and
market segments and the willingness of cu stomers to shop at its stores or acquire its financial products and services; (d) the Company’s margins and sales and those of its competitors; (e) the
changing consumer preferences toward e-commerce, online retailing and the introduction of new technologies; (f) risks and uncertainties relating to information management, technology, property
management and development, supply chain, product safety, changes in law, regulation, competition, seasonality, weather patterns, commodity price and business disruption, the Company’s
relationships with suppliers manufacturers, partners and other third parties, changes to existing accounting pronouncements, the risk of damage to the reputation of brands promoted by the Company
and the cost of store network expansion and retrofits; and (g) the Company’s capital structure, funding strategy, cost management programs and share price. Management cautions that the foregoing
list of important factors and assumptions is not exhaustive and other factors could also adversely affect the Company’s results. Investors and other readers are urged to consider the foregoing risks,
uncertainties, factors and assumptions carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
For more information on the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause the Company's actual results to differ from current expectations, please refer to the "Risk Factors" section of our
Annual Information Form for fiscal 2014 and our 2014 Management's Discussion and Analysis, as well as Canadian Tire's other public filings, available at www.sedar.com and at
www.corp.canadiantire.ca.
Forward-looking statements do not take into account the effect that transactions or non-recurring or other special items announced or occurring after the statements are made, have on the Company’s
business. For example, they do not include the effect of any dispositions, acquisitions, asset write downs or other charges announced or occurring after such statements are made.
The forward-looking statements and information contained herein are based on certain factors and assumptions as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by it or on its behalf, to reflect new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by applicable securities laws.
