These risks include, but are not limited to, MBC’s ability to finance expansion plans, share repurchase programs and general operating activities; changes in the non-alcoholic beverage business environment, including actions of competitors and changes in consumer preferences; regulatory and legal changes; interest rate and currency fluctuations; changes in economic and political conditions; MBC’s ability to penetrate and develop new markets, the effectiveness of MBC’s advertising, marketing and promotional programs; litigation uncertainties; adverse weather conditions; inability to achieve volume growth through product and packaging initiatives; changes in the cost and availability of raw materials and the ability to maintain favorable supply arrangements and relationships and procure timely and/or adequate production of all or any products; the marketing efforts of distributors of MBC’s products, most of which distribute products which are competitive to MBC; unilateral decisions by stores or other customers to discontinue carrying all or any of MBC’s products that they are carrying at any time; changes in product category consumption; possible recalls of MBC’s products; and other risks discussed in the Monster Beverage Corporation’s filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the Monster Beverage Corporation’s annual report on Form 10K, which filings are available from the SEC. The aforegoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
