Caution Concerning Forward Looking Statements
Desjardins
This presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, Desjardins Group's business objectives and priorities, financial targets and maturity
profile. These statements include, but are not limited to, observations regarding the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations, results and our financial
position, as well as on economic conditions and financial markets. Such statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate",
“intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “forecast”, “aim" and "may", words and expressions of similar import, and future and conditional verbs.
By their very nature, such statements involve assumptions, uncertainties and inherent risks, both general and specific. It is therefore possible that, due to many factors,
the assumptions formulated may be incorrect, or the predictions, forecasts or forward-looking statements as well as Desjardins Group's objectives and priorities may not
materialize or may prove to be inaccurate and that actual results differ materially. Furthermore, the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic has sharply increased this
risk by generating additional difficulties in determining assumptions, forecasts or other forward-looking statements compared to previous periods. Desjardins Group cautions
readers against placing undue reliance on these forward-looking statements when making decisions, given actual results, conditions, actions or future events could differ
significantly from the targets, expectations, estimates or intentions advanced in them, explicitly or implicitly.
A number of factors, many of which are beyond Desjardins Group's control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict, could influence, individually or collectively, the
accuracy of the forward-looking statements in this presentation. These factors include in particular: credit, market, liquidity, operational, insurance, strategic and reputation
risks; pension plan risk; environmental or social risk; legal and regulatory risk; COVID-19 pandemic; climate change; government, corporate and household indebtedness;
technological advancement and regulatory developments; interest rate fluctuations and geopolitical uncertainty; general economic and business conditions in regions in
which Desjardins Group operates; security breaches; monetary policies; the critical accounting estimates and accounting standards applied by Desjardins Group; new products
and services to maintain or increase Desjardins Group's market share; geographic concentration; acquisitions and joint arrangements; credit ratings; changes in tax laws;
unexpected changes in consumer spending and saving habits; talent recruitment and retention of key positions; the ability to implement Desjardins Group's disaster recovery
plan within a reasonable time; the potential impact on operations of international conflicts; public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, or any other similar
disease affecting the local, national or global economy; and Desjardins Group's ability to anticipate and properly manage the risks associated with these factors properly
despite a disciplined risk management environment.
It is important to note that the above list of factors that could influence future results is not exhaustive. Other factors could have an adverse effect on Desjardins Group's
results. Additional information about these and other factors is found in the “Risk management” sections of Desjardins Group's most recently published annual and any
subsequent quarterly MD&As and in the section “COVID-19 pandemic" of Desjardins Group's last annual and quarterly MD&As.
Any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation represent the views of management only as at the date hereof, and are presented for the purpose of assisting
readers in understanding and interpreting Desjardins Group's balance sheet as at the dates indicated or its results for the periods then ended, as well as its strategic priorities
and objectives as considered on the dates hereof. These statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. Desjardins Group does not undertake to update any oral
or written forward-looking statements that could be made from time to time by or on behalf of Desjardins Group, except as required under applicable securities legislation.
