This communication contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements
include, but are not limited to, statements about future financial and
operating results, our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with
respect to future operations, products and services; and other statements
identified by words such as "will likely result," "are expected to," "will
continue," "is anticipated," "estimated," "believe," "intend," "plan,"
"projection," "outlook" or words of similar meaning. Such forward-looking
statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our
management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and
competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to
predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of
events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these
forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and the
timing of events to differ materially from the anticipated results or other
expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: we have been, and
may continue to be, adversely affected by supply chain issues as a result of
the global semiconductor supply shortage; we face substantial competition
and that competition is likely to increase over time; if our efforts to
attract and retain subscribers and listeners, or convert listeners into
subscribers, are not successful, our business will be adversely affected; we
engage in extensive marketing efforts and the continued effectiveness of
those efforts is an important part of our business; we rely on third parties
for the operation of our business, and the failure of third parties to
perform could adversely affect our business; we may not realize the benefits
of acquisitions and other strategic investments and initiatives; the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic has introduced significant uncertainty to our business; a
substantial number of our Sirius XM service subscribers periodically cancel
their subscriptions and we cannot predict how successful we will be at
retaining customers; our ability to profitably attract and retain
subscribers to our Sirius XM service as our marketing efforts reach more
price-sensitive consumers is uncertain; our business depends in part on the
auto industry; failure of our satellites would significantly damage our
business; our Sirius XM service may experience harmful interference from
wireless operations; our Pandora ad-supported business has suffered a
substantial and consistent loss of monthly active users, which may adversely
affect our Pandora business; our failure to convince advertisers of the
benefits of our Pandora ad-supported service could harm our business; if we
are unable to maintain revenue growth from our advertising products our
results of operations will be adversely affected; changes in mobile
operating systems and browsers may hinder our ability to sell advertising
and market our services; if we fail to accurately predict and play music,
comedy or other content that our Pandora listeners enjoy, we may fail to
retain existing and attract new listeners; privacy and data security laws
and regulations may hinder our ability to market our services, sell
advertising and impose legal liabilities; consumer protection laws and our
failure to comply with them could damage our business; failure to comply
with FCC requirements could damage our business; if we fail to protect the
security of personal information about our customers, we could be subject to
costly government enforcement actions and private litigation and our
reputation could suffer; interruption or failure of our information
technology and communications systems could impair the delivery of our
service and harm our business; the market for music rights is changing and
is subject to significant uncertainties; our Pandora services depend upon
maintaining complex licenses with copyright owners, and these licenses
contain onerous terms; the rates we must pay for "mechanical rights" to use
musical works on our Pandora service have increased substantially and these
new rates may adversely affect our business; failure to protect our
intellectual property or actions by third parties to enforce their
intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business and
operating results; some of our services and technologies may use "open
source" software, which may restrict how we use or distribute our services
or require that we release the source code subject to those licenses; rapid
technological and industry changes and new entrants could adversely impact
our services; we have a significant amount of indebtedness, and our debt
contains certain covenants that restrict our operations; we are a
"controlled company" within the meaning of the NASDAQ listing rules and, as
a result, qualify for, and rely on, exemptions from certain corporate
governance requirements; while we currently pay a quarterly cash dividend to
holders of our common stock, we may change our dividend policy at any time;
our principal stockholder has significant influence, including over actions
requiring stockholder approval, and its interests may differ from the
interests of other holders of our common stock; if we are unable to attract
and retain qualified personnel, our business could be harmed; our facilities
could be damaged by natural catastrophes or terrorist activities; the
unfavorable outcome of pending or future litigation could have an adverse
impact on our operations and financial condition; we may be exposed to
liabilities that other entertainment service providers would not customarily
be subject to; and our business and prospects depend on the strength of our
brands. Additional factors that could cause our results to differ materially
from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022,
which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and
available at the SEC's Internet site (https://u18886257.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=P7on-2FJk8w9CeS7rT0roIf54Dvrte7PXNWFMFZ9gu-2Bcs-3D3Szp_kfytytOqXJMoRhb2oyNeM-2FcljueGrqKFILtw-2BUtBDCb255k-2BVCOCrYxkgbweIbhKUQpPoCM-2F4wXsEWYw2nsS7NQsoPKT-2FhvLSipe15FGqhhvKq4KjshguHWYblU6kx4Bzkt3a5-2ByBg8OddWJ4pf46EAud-2B2D-2Bt5tu0BSCElZURVPITr4vu7LueTTv-2FdLYlCQSfuEKVjJ7nA8H9S9y3h9TumPHvy2Si4zaoUCyiJeO-2Fc-3D The information
