STUTTGART, Germany, Oct. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Within the context of preparing its financial statements for the third quarter of 2006, Daimler Chrysler will determine to what extent the issues announced today by EADS will have an impact on the operating profit of DaimlerChrysler in full-year 2006. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020212/DCXLOGO ) DaimlerChrysler will issue an update on this situation when publishing its results for the third quarter of 2006. This document contains forward-looking statements that reflect management's current views with respect to future events. The words "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "project" and "should" and similar expressions identify forward- looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: an economic downturn in Europe or North America; changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and in raw material prices; introduction of competing products; increased sales incentives; the effective implementation of our New Management Model, and the CORE program, including the new business model for smart, at the Mercedes Car Group; renewed pressure to reduce costs in light of restructuring plans announced by our major competitors in NAFTA; disruption of production or vehicle deliveries, resulting from shortages, labor strikes or supplier in solvencies; the resolution of pending governmental investigations; and decline in resale prices of used vehicles. If any of these or other risks and uncertainties occur (some of which are described under the heading "Risk Report" in DaimlerChrysler's most recent Annual Report and under the heading "Risk Factors" in DaimlerChrysler's most recent Annual SReport on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission), or if the assumptions underlying any of these statements prove incorrect, then actual results may be materially different from those expressed or implied by such statements.
