This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding Dominion and Dominion Midstream. The statements relate to, among other things, expectations, estimates and projections concerning the business and operations of Dominion and Dominion Midstream. We have used the words "anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "plan", “outlook”, "predict", "project", “should”, “strategy”, “target”, "will“, “potential” and similar terms and phrases to identify forward-looking statements in this presentation. As outlined in our SEC filings, factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to: unusual weather conditions and their effect on energy sales to customers and energy commodity prices; extreme weather events and other natural disasters; federal, state and local legislative and regulatory developments; changes to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including proposed carbon regulations; cost of environmental compliance; changes in enforcement practices of regulators relating to environmental standards and litigation exposure for remedial activities; capital market conditions, including the availability of credit and the ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms; fluctuations in interest rates; changes in rating agency requirements or credit ratings and their effect on availability and cost of capital; impacts of acquisitions, divestitures, transfers of assets by Dominion to joint ventures or to Dominion Midstream, and retirements of assets based on asset portfolio reviews; receipt of approvals for, and timing of, closing dates for acquisitions; the execution of Dominion Midstream’s growth strategy; changes in demand for Dominion’s services; additional competition in Dominion’s industries; changes to regulated rates collected by Dominion; changes in operating, maintenance and construction costs; timing and receipt of regulatory approvals necessary for planned construction or expansion projects and compliance with conditions associated with such regulatory approvals; the inability to complete planned construction projects within time frames initially anticipated; and the ability of Dominion Midstream to negotiate and consummate acquisitions from Dominion and third-parties, and the impacts of such acquisitions. Other risk factors are detailed from time to time in Dominion’s and Dominion Midstream’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
