statements may include statements with regard to the expected
development of revenue, earnings, profits from operations, depreciation
and amortization, cash flows and personnel-related measures. You should
consider them with caution. Such statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and are generally
beyond Deutsche Telekom’s control. Among the factors that might
influence our ability to achieve our objectives are the progress of our
workforce reduction initiative and other cost-saving measures, and the
impact of other significant strategic, labor or business initiatives,
including acquisitions, dispositions and business combinations, and our
network upgrade and expansion initiatives. In addition, stronger than
expected competition, technological change, legal proceedings and
regulatory developments, among other factors, may have a material
adverse effect on our costs and revenue development. Further, the
economic downturn in our markets, and changes in interest and currency
exchange rates, may also have an impact on our business development and
the availability of financing on favorable conditions. Changes to our
expectations concerning future cash flows may lead to impairment write
downs of assets carried at historical cost, which may materially affect
our results at the group and operating segment levels. If these or other
risks and uncertainties materialize, or if the assumptions underlying
any of these statements prove incorrect, our actual performance may
materially differ from the performance expressed or implied by
forward-looking statements. We can offer no assurance that our estimates
or expectations will be achieved. Without prejudice to existing
obligations under capital market law, we do not assume any obligation to
update forward-looking statements to take new information or future
events into account or otherwise.

accounting principles. Other companies may define these terms in
