3. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT
3
Forward-looking statements are included in the following presentation. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of terms and phrases such as “anticipate”, “believe”,
“could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “predict”, “project”, “will”, “would”, ”should” and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions. Such statements
may involve but are not limited to comments with respect to strategies, expectations, objectives, goals, aspirations, intentions, planned operations or future actions.
Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are based on assumptions and are subject to important risks and uncertainties. Any forecasts, predictions or forward-looking statements
cannot be relied upon due to, among other things, changing external events and general uncertainties of the business and its corporate structure. Results indicated in forward-looking
statements may differ materially from actual results for a number of reasons, including without limitation, dependency on top Accumulation Partners and clients, the effective
implementation of Aeroplan Program enhancements and a new financial card partnership and associated cardholder migration, conflicts of interest, greater than expected redemptions
for rewards, regulatory matters, retail market/economic conditions, industry competition, Air Canada liquidity issues, Air Canada or travel industry disruptions, airline industry changes
and increased airline costs, supply and capacity costs, unfunded future redemption costs, failure to safeguard databases and consumer privacy, changes to coalition loyalty programs,
seasonal nature of the business, other factors and prior performance, foreign operations, legal proceedings, reliance on key personnel, labour relations, pension liability, technological
disruptions and inability to use third party software, failure to protect intellectual property rights, interest rate and currency fluctuations, leverage and restrictive covenants in current and
future indebtedness, uncertainty of dividend payments, managing growth, credit ratings, as well as the other factors identified throughout this presentation and throughout our public
disclosure record on file with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities.
Certain slides of this presentation contain forward-looking statements with respect to certain financial metrics in 2014 and 2015, respectively. These statements are not intended to
constitute, nor should they be considered as, financial outlook or guidance within the meaning of applicable securities laws.
The forward-looking statements included in this presentation exclude the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates and Aimia Inc. (“Aimia” or the “Corporation”) has made a
number of general economic and market assumptions in making these statements, including assumptions regarding the performance of the economies in which the Corporation
operates and market competition and tax laws applicable to the Corporation’s operations. In addition, Aimia has made a number of specific assumptions in making these statements,
including, (i) a level of growth for Aeroplan’s financial card business that is consistent with the general Canadian premium credit card market, and (ii) growth in the Corporation’s non-
Aeroplan related business consistent with the Corporation’s three year plan. The Corporation cautions that the assumptions used to make these statements, although reasonable at
the time they were made, may prove to be incorrect or inaccurate. In addition, these statements do not reflect the potential impact of any non-recurring or other special items or of any
new material commercial agreements, dispositions, mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations or transactions. The financial impact of these transactions and non-recurring
and other special items can be complex and depends on the facts particular to each of them. We therefore cannot describe the expected impact in a meaningful way or in the same
way we present known risks affecting our business. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements made in this presentation.
The forward-looking statements contained herein represent the Corporation’s expectations as of September 18, 2013 and are subject to change. However, Aimia disclaims any
intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable
securities regulations.
