Our strategy is focused on delivering long-term profitable growth. As part of our strategy, we are developing new and innovative products and services and enhancing existing offerings. We are investing in technology, including artificial intelligence, and other capabilities (such as our new Innovation and Device Care Center) to continuously improve the customer and employee experience, while seeking to increase efficiency. We will continue to incur expenses related to, among other things: investments in digital capabilities and large-scale, critical programs, such as technology systems and infrastructure; research and development of new products and capabilities; scaling our global operations, including accessing the global talent hubs such as through our Global Capability Centers; costs associated with the implementation of new contracts and businesses in runoff or which we have exited or which we expect to fully exit, including sharing economy; and improvements in operational efficiency. In recent years, we announced restructuring initiatives that include realigning our organizational structure and talent to support our business strategy, and accelerating ongoing real estate consolidation efforts to support work-from-home arrangements. Actual costs to implement these initiatives may exceed our estimates and we may not be able to fully realize our expected run rate savings and operational efficiency improvements. Our long-term strategy depends on successful operational execution and our ability to execute on our growth initiatives, including acquisitions and investments in organic growth, combined with our ability to innovate and develop new products, achieve operating efficiencies, and attract and retain a global workforce. See “ – We may be unable to find suitable acquisition candidates at attractive prices, integrate acquired businesses or divest of non-strategic businesses effectively or achieve organic growth, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.”
