that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to: disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit
markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the
availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency
fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; disruptions or
inefficiencies in our supply chain, logistics, or operations; changes in laws and regulations in
jurisdictions where we conduct business, including with respect to plastics and climate change;
fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; demand
for our products and services; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled
or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with
respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; our ability to pay regular
quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information
systems failures and cyberattacks; amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to
restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes
associated with the underlying actions; our ability to achieve strategic objectives and
successfully integrate acquisitions, including the implementation of a cloud-based enterprise
resource planning system, S/4HANA; and other factors affecting our business beyond our
control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates,
changes in the rate of inflation, geopolitical conflicts and any recessionary conditions.
