Forward Looking
Statements
Certain
statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. Statements other than statements of historical
fact including words such as “look”, "will",
“anticipate”, “believe”,
“estimate”, “expect”, "forecast",
“consider” and “plan” and statements in the
future tense are forward looking statements. The statements in this
Current Report on Form 8-K that could be deemed forward-looking
statements include statements regarding our expectations for our
financial results for the first fiscal quarter of 2018 and full
fiscal year 2018 and statements regarding expectations related to
our cash position, expenses, days sales outstanding in accounts
receivable, number of distributors and resellers, shipments, the
roll-out of our consumer retail channel, the introduction of new
consumer products, gross margin, research and development, sales,
financial goals, general and administrative expenses, tax rates,
inventory turns, growth opportunities and rates, demand and long
term global environment for our products, our markets (whether
total or addressable) and market shares for our products, new
products, and financial performance estimates including revenues
and GAAP diluted EPS for the Company’s first fiscal quarter
of 2018 and full fiscal year 2018, and any statements or
assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause our actual future results to differ materially, or
cause a material adverse impact on our results. Potential risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in our
operating results; varying demand for our products due to the
financial and operating condition of our distributors and their
customers, and distributors’ inventory management practices;
political and economic conditions and volatility affecting the
stability of business environments, economic growth, currency
values, commodity prices and other factors that may influence the
ultimate demand for our products in particular geographies or
globally; impact of counterfeiting and our ability to contain such
impact; our reliance on a limited number of distributors; inability
of our contract manufacturers and suppliers to meet our demand; our
dependence on Qualcomm Atheros for chipsets without a short-term
alternative; as we move into new markets competition from certain
of our current or potential competitors who may be more established
in such markets; our ability to keep pace with technological and
market developments; success and timing of new product
introductions by us and the performance of our products generally;
our ability to effectively manage the significant increase in our
transactional sales volumes; we may become subject to warranty
claims, product liability and product recalls; that a substantial
majority of our sales are into countries outside the United States
and we are subject to numerous U.S. export control and economic
sanctions laws; costs related to responding to government inquiries
related to regulatory compliance; our reliance on the Ubiquiti
Community; our reliance on certain key members of our management
team, including our founder and chief executive officer, Robert J.
Pera; adverse tax-related matters such as tax audits, changes in
our effective tax rate or new tax legislative proposals; whether
the final determination of our income tax liability may be
materially different from our income tax provisions; the impact of
any intellectual property litigation and claims for
indemnification; litigation related to U.S. Securities laws; and
economic and political conditions in the United States and abroad.
We discuss these risks in greater detail under the heading
“Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016, and
subsequent filings filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”), which are available at the
SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Copies may also be obtained by
contacting the Ubiquiti Networks Investor Relations Department, by
email at IR@ubnt.com or by visiting the Investor Relations section
of the Ubiquiti Networks website, http://ir.ubnt.com.
Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements
represent our management's beliefs and assumptions only as of the
date made. Except as required by law, Ubiquiti Networks undertakes
no obligation to update information contained herein. You should
review our SEC filings carefully and with the understanding that
our actual future results may be materially different from what we
expect.
