This
report on Form 6-K is being furnished for the purpose of providing
a copy of the registrant’s unaudited condensed consolidated
interim financial statements as of and for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2017 (the “Consolidated Financial
Statements”). The Consolidated Financial Statements are
presented in Chilean pesos and prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards.
The
attachment contains forward-looking statements. The registrant
desires to qualify for the “safe-harbor” provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and
consequently is hereby filing cautionary statements identifying
important factors that could cause the registrant’s actual
results to differ materially from those set forth in such
forward-looking statements.
The
registrant’s forward-looking statements are based on the
registrant’s current expectations, assumptions, estimates and
projections about the registrant and its industry. These
forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases
such as “anticipate,” “believe,”
“continue,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “intend,” “is/are likely
to,” “may,” “plan,”
“should,” “would,” or other similar
expressions.
The
forward-looking statements included in the attached involve various
risks and uncertainties, including, among others: (i) changes in
general economic, business or political or other conditions in
Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Colombia or elsewhere in Latin
America or global markets; (ii) changes in capital markets in
general that may affect policies or attitudes towards investing in
Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Colombia or securities issued by
companies in such countries; (iii) the monetary and interest rate
policies of the Central Banks of Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru and
Colombia; (iv) high levels of inflation or deflation; (v)
unanticipated increases in financing and other costs or our
inability to obtain additional debt or equity financing on
attractive terms; (vi) movements in interest and/or foreign
exchange rates, and movements in equity prices or other rates or
prices; (vii) changes in, or failure to comply with, applicable
regulations or changes in taxes; (viii) loss of market share or
changes in competition and pricing environments in the industries
in which the Company operates; (ix) difficulties in successfully
integrating recent and future acquisitions into the Company’s
operations; (x) the Company’s inability to hedge certain
risks economically; (xi) changes in consumer spending and saving
habits; (xii) implementation of new technologies; (xiii)
limitations on the Company’s ability to open new stores and
operate them profitably; (xiv) difficulties in completing proposed
store openings, expansions or remodeling; (xv) difficulties in
acquiring and developing land in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru or
Colombia, and restrictions on opening new large stores in any such
countries; and (xvi) the factors discussed under the heading
“Risk Factors” as well as risks included in the
Company’s other filings and submissions with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the
registrant believes that its expectations expressed in these
forward-looking statements are reasonable, its expectations may
turn out to be incorrect. The registrant’s actual results
could be materially different from its expectations. In light of
the risks and uncertainties described above, the estimates and
forward-looking statements discussed in the attached might not
occur, and the registrant’s future results and its
performance may differ materially from those expressed in these
forward-looking statements due to, including, but not limited to,
the factors mentioned above. Because of these uncertainties, you
should not make any investment decision based on these estimates
and forward-looking statements.
The
forward-looking statements made in the attached relate only to
events or information as of the date on which the statements are
made in the attached. The registrant undertakes no obligation to
update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date on which the statements are made or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
