Forward-looking statements

This Q3 Report 2015 contains forward-looking statements, all of which involve certain risks and uncertainties. These statements are often, but are not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “stands to,” “continues,” “we believe,” “we intend,” as well as similar expressions. Forward-looking statements contained in this report include, but are not limited to, the first four paragraphs of the Letter from Management, the information provided in the section captioned “Outlook 2015”, statements regarding a potential new partnership for the further development of filgotinib, statements regarding the development of a potential triple combination therapy for Class II cystic fibrosis patients, and statements regarding the expected timing, design and readouts of ongoing and planned clinical trials (i) with filgotinib in rheumatoid arthritis (Phase 3) and Crohn’s disease (Phase 2), (ii) with the compounds in the cystic fibrosis program, (iii) with GLPG1205 in ulcerative colitis (Phase 2) and (iv) with GLPG1690 in IPF (Phase 2). Galapagos cautions the reader that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which might cause the actual results, financial condition and liquidity, performance or achievements of Galapagos, or the development of the industry in which it operates, to be materially different from any historic or future results, financial conditions, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In addition, even if Galapagos’ results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which it operates are consistent with such forward-looking statements, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods. Among the factors that may result in differences are that Galapagos’ expectations regarding its 2015 revenues and financial results and its 2015 operating expenses may be incorrect (including because one or more of its assumptions underlying its revenue or expense expectations may not be realized), the inherent uncertainties associated with competitive developments, clinical trial and product development activities and regulatory approval requirements (including that data from the company’s development programs may not support registration or further development of its compounds due to safety, efficacy or other reasons), Galapagos’ reliance on collaborations with third parties (including its collaboration partner for cystic fibrosis, AbbVie), and estimating the commercial potential of our product candidates. A further list and description of these risks, uncertainties and other risks can be found in Galapagos’ Securities and Exchange Commission filing and reports, including in the prospectus filed with the SEC on May 14, 2015 and future filings and reports by Galapagos. Galapagos also refers to the “Risk Factors” section of this report. Given these uncertainties, the reader is advised not to place any undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of publication of this document. Galapagos expressly disclaims any obligation to update any such forward-looking statements in this document to reflect any change in its expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, unless specifically required by law or regulation.
