All statements other than statements of historical facts are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industries in which we operate and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are di昀케cult to predict, including those identi昀椀ed in our most recent 昀椀lings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement. Cisco continuously strives for transparency in our reporting on our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, goals, and progress. We set ambitious goals knowing that they may be di昀케cult to fully achieve, but we strive to meet them within the designated time frames all the same. Acquiring other companies can potentially impact our progress towards our ESG goals. We will transparently report on our progress, including any impacts from acquisitions.
