statements.&#8221; These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the Company's future financial position,  business strategy, targets, projected sales, costs, income, capital expenditures, debt levels and cash flows, and plans and  objectives of management for future operations. The use of words such as &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221; &#8220;plan&#8221; or  similar terminology are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements by their  nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain and are subject to risks, assumptions, and other factors,  some of which are beyond Brady&#8217;s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied  by such forward-looking statements.  For Brady, uncertainties arise from:  increased cost of raw materials, labor and freight  as well as raw material shortages and supply chain disruptions; decreased demand for our products; our ability to compete  effectively or to successfully execute our strategy; our ability to develop technologically advanced products that meet  customer demands; Brady&#8217;s ability to identify, integrate, and grow acquired companies, and to manage contingent liabilities  from divested businesses; adverse impacts of the novel coronavirus (&#8220;COVID-19&#8221;) pandemic or other pandemics; difficulties  in protecting our websites, networks, and systems against security breaches; risks associated with the loss of key  employees; extensive regulations by U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and self-regulatory entities; litigation, including product  liability claims; foreign currency fluctuations; potential write-offs of goodwill and other intangible assets; changes in tax  legislation and tax rates; differing interests of voting and non-voting shareholders; numerous other matters of national,  regional and global scale, including major public health crises and government responses thereto and those of a political,  economic, business, competitive, and regulatory nature contained from time to time in Brady&#8217;s U.S. Securities and Exchange  Commission filings, including, but not limited to, those factors listed in the &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; section within Item 1A of Part I of  Brady&#8217;s Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2022. These uncertainties may cause Brady's actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in its forward- looking statements. Brady does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law. 2 </FONT></DIV>\n<P><HR noshade><P>\n<DIV style=\"page-break-before:always;\">&nbsp;</DIV>\n</DIV>\n<!-- f23q3conferencecallprese003.jpg -->\n<DIV style=\"padding-top:2em;\">\n<IMG src=\"https://cdn.kscope.io/8a06744a1bbc0135181a9b2c381184b5-f23q3conferencecallprese003.jpg\" title=\"slide3\" width=\"1365\" height=\"1024\">\n<DIV><FONT size=\"1\" style=\"font-size:1pt;color:white\">3 *   Diluted EPS Excluding Certain Items is a non-GAAP measure.
