Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
We are furnishing herewith information being presented by certain of our executive officers on June 8, 2005 at the Merrill Lynch Transportation Conference. The presentation information is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
An audio webcast of their remarks at the Merrill Lynch Transportation Conference and the accompanying graphic presentation will be made available on our website at www.continental.com/company under the Investor Relations - Investor Presentation section beginning June 8, 2005.
The information presented contains forward-looking statements that are not limited to historical facts, but reflect the company's current beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future events. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. For examples of such risks and uncertainties, please see the risk factors set forth in the company's 2004 10-K and its other securities filings, which identify important matters such as the consequences of its significant financial losses and high leverage, terrorist attacks, domestic and international economic conditions, the significant cost of aircraft fuel, labor costs, competition, and industry conditions, including the demand for air travel, the airline pricing environment and industry capacity decisions, regulatory matters and the seasonal nature of the airline business. In addition to the foregoing risks, there can be no assura nce that the company will be able to obtain the needed pay and benefit reductions from its flight attendants or that the ratified agreements and the pay and benefit reductions and work rule changes from other work groups will enable the company to achieve the cost reductions expected, which will depend, upon other matters, on timely and effective implementation of new work rules, actual productivity improvement, employee attrition, technology implementation, our level of business activity, relations with employees generally and the ultimate accuracy of certain assumptions on which our cost savings are based. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this update.
