CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”), filed by Cerence Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Cerence,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” unless the context indicates otherwise, contains “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry and our business and financial results. Forward-looking statements often include words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “continues,” “believes,” “may,” “will,” “goals” and words and terms of similar substance in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance. As with any projection or forecast, forward-looking statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Our actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to:

the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business and financial performance, including the impact of new variants such as Omicron;
the transition in our chief executive officer and other senior management positions;
adverse conditions in the automotive industry or the global economy more generally, including, without limitation, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and inflation and rising interest rates;
the continuation of the semiconductor shortage being experienced by the automotive industry;
the highly competitive and rapidly changing market in which we operate;
our employees are represented by workers councils or unions or are subject to local laws that are less favorable to employers than the laws of the U.S.;
fluctuations in our financial and operating results;
inability to control and successfully manage our expense and cash positions;
escalating pricing pressures from our customers;
the impact on our business of the transition to a lower level of fixed contracts, including, but not limited to, the failure to achieve the expected predictability and growth in our reported revenue following a transition year of fiscal 2023;
our failure to win, renew or implement service contracts;
the cancellation or postponement of service contracts after a design win;
the loss of business from any of our largest customers;
inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel;
our employees are represented by workers councils or unions or are subject to local laws that are less favorable to employers than the laws of the U.S.;
cybersecurity and data privacy incidents that damage client relations;
interruptions or delays in our services or services from data center hosting facilities or public clouds;
economic, political, regulatory, foreign exchange and other risks of international operations;
unforeseen U.S. and foreign tax liabilities;
impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets;
the failure to protect our intellectual property or allegations that we have infringed the intellectual property of others;
defects in our software products that result in lost revenue, expensive corrections or claims against us;
our inability to quickly respond to changes in technology and to develop our intellectual property into commercially viable products;
our strategy to increase cloud services and ability to successfully introduce new products, applications or services;

1


 

a significant interruption in the supply or maintenance of our third-party hardware, software, services or data;
restrictions on our current and future operations under the terms of our debt arrangements and the use of cash to service our debt; and
certain factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

These and other factors are more fully discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including Part II, “Item 1A, Risk Factors." These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q. Even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

Any forward-looking statements made by us in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date on which they are made. We are under no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any obligation to, update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or otherwise, except as required by law.
