Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking
statements,” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which express management’s
current views concerning future events, trends, contingencies or results, appear at various places in this press release and use words
like “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“forecast,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,”
“project,” “strategy,” “target” and similar terms, and future or conditional tense verbs like “could,”
“may,” “might,” “should,” “will” and “would.” For example, management may
use forward-looking statements when addressing topics such as: the outcome of contingencies; future actions by regulators; changes in
the business strategies and methods of generating revenue of S&P Global Inc. (the “Company”); the development and performance
of the Company’s services and products; the expected impact of acquisitions and dispositions; the Company’s effective tax
rates; the Company’s cost structure, dividend policy, cash flows or liquidity; and the anticipated separation of S&P Global
Mobility (“Mobility”) into a standalone public company.
Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent
risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking
statements include, among other things:
· worldwide economic, financial, political, and regulatory conditions (including slower GDP growth or recession,
restrictions on trade (e.g., tariffs), instability in the banking sector and inflation), and factors that contribute to uncertainty and
volatility (e.g., supply chain risk), geopolitical uncertainty (including military conflict), natural and man-made disasters, civil unrest,
public health crises (e.g., pandemics), and conditions that result from legislative, regulatory, trade and policy changes, including from
the U.S. administration;
· the volatility and health of debt, equity, commodities, energy and automotive markets, including credit
quality and spreads, the composition and mix of credit maturity profiles, the level of liquidity and future debt issuances, equity flows
from active to passive, fluctuations in average asset prices in global equities, demand for investment products that track indices and
assessments and trading volumes of certain exchange traded derivatives;
· the demand and market for credit ratings in and across the sectors and geographies where the Company operates;
· the Company’s ability to maintain adequate physical, technical and administrative safeguards to
protect the security of confidential information and data, or protect against a system or network disruption that results in regulatory
penalties and remedial costs or improper disclosure of confidential information or data;
· the outcome of litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries;
· concerns in the marketplace affecting the Company’s credibility or otherwise affecting market perceptions
of the integrity or utility of independent credit ratings, benchmarks, indices and other services;
· the level of merger and acquisition activity in the United States and abroad;
· the level of the Company’s future cash flows and capital investments;
· the effect of competitive products (including those incorporating artificial intelligence ("AI"))
and pricing, including the level of success of new product developments and global expansion;
· the impact of customer cost-cutting pressures;
· a decline in the demand for our products and services by our customers and other market participants;
· our ability to develop new products or technologies, to integrate our products with new technologies (e.g.,
AI), or to compete with new products or technologies offered by new or existing competitors;
· the introduction of competing products (including those developed by AI) or technologies by other companies;
· our ability to protect our intellectual property from unauthorized use and infringement, including by
others using AI technologies, and to operate our business without violating third-party intellectual property rights, including through
our own use of AI in our products and services;
· our ability to attract, incentivize and retain key employees, especially in a competitive business environment;
· our ability to successfully navigate key organizational changes;
· the continuously evolving regulatory environment in Europe, the United States and elsewhere around the
globe affecting each of our businesses and the products they offer, and our compliance therewith;
· the Company’s exposure to potential criminal sanctions or civil penalties for noncompliance with
foreign and U.S. laws and regulations that are applicable in the jurisdictions in which it operates, including sanctions laws relating
to countries such as Iran, Russia and Venezuela, anti-corruption laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery
Act of 2010, and local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials, as well as import and export restrictions;
· the Company’s ability to make acquisitions and dispositions and successfully integrate the businesses
we acquire;
· consolidation of the Company’s customers, suppliers or competitors;
· the ability of the Company, and its third-party service providers, to maintain adequate physical and technological
infrastructure;
· the Company’s ability to successfully recover from a disaster or other business continuity problem,
such as an earthquake, hurricane, flood, civil unrest, protests, military conflict, terrorist attack, outbreak of pandemic or contagious
diseases, security breach, cyber attack, data breach, power loss, telecommunications failure or other natural or man-made event;
· the impact on the Company’s revenue and net income caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates;
· the impact of changes in applicable tax or accounting requirements on the Company;
· the separation of Mobility not being consummated within the anticipated time period or at all;
· the ability of the separation of Mobility to qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income
tax purposes;
· any disruption to the Company’s business in connection with the proposed separation of Mobility;
· any loss of synergies from separating the businesses of Mobility and the Company that adversely
impact the results of operations of both businesses, or the companies resulting from the separation of Mobility not realizing all
of the expected benefits of the separation; and
· following the separation of Mobility, the combined value of the common stock of the two publicly-traded
companies not being equal to or greater than the value of the Company’s common stock had the separation not occurred.
The factors noted above are not exhaustive. The
Company and its subsidiaries operate in a dynamic business environment in which new risks emerge frequently. Accordingly, the Company
cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after
the date on which it is made, except as required by applicable law. Further information about the Company’s businesses, including
information about factors that could materially affect its results of operations and financial condition, is contained in the Company’s
filings with the SEC, including Item 1A, Risk Factors in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
