 Cautionary Statements 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: This document contains certain forward-looking statements with
respect to the operations, performance and financial condition of the Group, including, among other things, statements
about expected revenues, margins, earnings per share or other financial or other measures. 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
this document 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, or limitations to, 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;
effects of patent litigation in respect of IP rights; exchange rate fluctuations; the risk that R&D will not yield new
products that achieve commercial success; the risk that strategic alliances and acquisitions, including licensing and
collaborations, 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 of
outsourcing; the risks associated with manufacturing biologics; 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 of failure to adhere to applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to anti-competitive
behaviour; the risk that new products do not perform as we expect; failure to achieve strategic priorities or to meet
targets or expectations; the risk of an adverse impact of a sustained economic downturn; political and socio-economic
conditions; the risk of environmental liabilities; the risk of occupational health and safety liabilities; the risk
associated with pensions liabilities; the risk of misuse of social medial platforms and new technology; the risks
associated with developing our business in emerging markets; the risk of illegal trade in our products; the risks from
pressures resulting from generic competition; the risk of failure to successfully implement planned cost reduction measures
through productivity initiatives and restructuring programmes; economic, regulatory and political pressures to limit or
reduce the cost of our products; 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. Nothing in this presentation / webcast
should be construed as a profit forecast.
