CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 
 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 
 
In order, among other things, to utilise the 'safe harbour' provisions of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
1995, we are providing the following cautionary statement: The interim financial statements contain certain forward-looking
statements with respect to the operations, performance and financial condition of the Group. Although we believe our
expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any forward-looking statements, by their very nature, involve risks and
uncertainties and may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from
those predicted. The forward-looking statements reflect knowledge and information available at the date of preparation of
the interim financial statements and AstraZeneca undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements. We
identify the forward-looking statements by using the words 'anticipates', 'believes', 'expects', 'intends' and similar
expressions in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained
in forward-looking statements, certain of which are beyond our control, include, among other things: the loss or expiration
of patents, marketing exclusivity or trademarks, or the risk of failure to obtain and enforce patent protection; the risk
of substantial adverse litigation/government investigation claims and insufficient insurance coverage; exchange rate
fluctuations; the risk that R&D will not yield new products that achieve commercial success; the risk that strategic
alliances and acquisitions will be unsuccessful; the impact of competition, price controls and price reductions; taxation
risks; the risk of substantial product liability claims; the impact of any delays in the manufacturing, distribution and
sale of any of our products; the impact of any failure by third parties to supply materials or services; the risk of
failure to manage a crisis; the risk of delay to new product launches; the difficulties of obtaining and maintaining
regulatory approvals for products; the risk of failure to adhere to applicable laws, rules and regulations; the risk that
new products do not perform as we expect; the risk of environmental liabilities; the risks associated with conducting
business in emerging markets; the risk of reputational damage; the risk of illegal trade in our products; the risk of
failure to successfully implement planned cost reduction measures through productivity initiatives and restructuring
programmes; the risk that regulatory approval processes for biosimilars could have an adverse effect on future commercial
prospects; the impact of failing to attract and retain key personnel and to successfully engage with our employees; the
impact of increasing implementation and enforcement of more stringent anti-bribery and anti-corruption legislation; and the
risk of failure of information technology and cybercrime.
