CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This financial information set forth in this Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are any statement contained herein that is not strictly historical, including, but not limited to, QuidelOrtho’s preliminary unaudited revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 29, 2024, and other preliminary estimates or future financial condition and operating results, and other plans, objectives, strategies, expectations and intentions. The preliminary financial information for the fourth quarter ended December 29, 2024, set forth in this Form 8-K represents preliminary and unaudited estimates, and such estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to change as QuidelOrtho completes the preparation of its consolidated financial statements and related notes and completes its financial close procedures for the year ended December 29, 2024. Final financial results may therefore vary from the estimates set forth in this 8-K, and such variations to the preliminary unaudited estimates may be material. You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events because these estimates are based on assumptions that may not come true and are speculative by their nature. All forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to QuidelOrtho and speak only as of the date hereof. QuidelOrtho undertakes no obligation to update any of the forward-looking information or time-sensitive information included in this Form 8-K, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed expectations or otherwise, except as required by law.
