Adverse weather conditions may reduce the demand for some of our products and could have a negative effect on our sales. Increased competition may reduce our sales and earnings performance. Our operating results and financial condition may be negatively impacted if we do not successfully integrate past and future acquisitions into our existing operations and if the performance of the businesses we acquire do not meet our expectations.

The nature, cost, quantity and outcome of pending and future litigation, such as litigation arising from the manufacture and sale of lead pigments and lead-based paint, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
