forward-looking statements can be identified by use of words such as may, will, expect, anticipate, approximate, estimate, assume, continue, model, project, plan, goal,
and similar words and phrases, although the absence of those words does not necessarily mean that statements are not forward-looking. The Company's actual results

without limitation: general economic conditions including the housing market, a challenging overall macroeconomic environment and related changes in the retailing
environment; risks associated with the COVID-19 and the governmental responses to it, including its impacts across the Company's businesses on demand and operations,
