These statements are based on assumptions about many important factors, including the following, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements: product development risks; continuity, availability and pricing of acceptable raw materials and component supply; risks related to cyber security or data leakage; failures with respect to compliance programs; accurate identification of and execution on R&D opportunities and realization of anticipated benefits; satisfaction of regulatory and other requirements; actions of regulatory bodies and other governmental authorities; changes in laws and regulations; product quality, manufacturing or supply issues; patient safety issues; and other risks identified in Baxter's most recent filing on Form filings, all of which are available on Baxter's website.
