A global recession, adverse changes in business or industry conditions and volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets may result in additional decreases in our revenues and profitability. Information technology infrastructure failures could disrupt our business. There are inherent risks in our growing solutions businesses. Our industry is highly competitive. A disruption to our distribution channel could reduce our revenues. Potential liabilities and costs from litigation (including asbestos claims) could increase our costs. Intellectual property infringement claims could harm our business and our customers. We rely on vendors to supply raw materials, including commodities, which creates certain risks and uncertainties that may adversely affect our business. Potential liabilities and costs for environmental remediation could reduce our profits. We must successfully defend any claims from taxing authorities to avoid an adverse effect on our tax expense and financial position. Our competitiveness depends on successfully executing our globalization and cost productivity initiatives. We face the potential harms of natural disasters, terrorism, acts of war, international conflicts or other disruptions to our operations. Our business success depends on attracting and retaining qualified personnel. Risks associated with acquisitions could have an adverse effect on us.
