Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific historical financial data such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity for the current or prior periods. The document focuses exclusively on forward-looking guidance.
Material Changes and Guidance
During the investor meetings, management reaffirmed its 2020 operating earnings guidance range of $6.47 to $6.75 per share. The company noted that certain items impacting 2020 reported results will likely be excluded from operating results. Consequently, reconciliations to comparable 2020 reported earnings guidance are not provided, as the company states it is not possible to reliably forecast specific line items such as future non-recurring items, mark-to-market adjustments, and discontinued operations.
Risks and Contingencies
The filing contains forward-looking statements subject to various assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. Management disclaims any current intention to update these statements based on new information. Investors are directed to the "Forward-Looking Statements" section in the 2019 Form 10-K for a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially.
