Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “aim,” “strive,” “believe,” “see,” “project,” “predict,” “estimate,” “expect,” “continue,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “target,” similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words and the use of future tense. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on IHS Markit current beliefs, expectations, estimates and assumptions regarding the future of IHS Markit business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of IHS Markit control. A detailed discussion of some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause IHS Markit actual results and financial condition to differ materially from the forward-looking statements is described in IHS Markit filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Any forward-looking statement made by IHS Markit in this release speaks only on information currently available to IHS Markit and speaks only as of the date of this communication. IHS Markit undertakes no obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.
