Forward-looking statements
This report 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 “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “stand to,” “continue,” as well as similar expressions. Forward-looking statements contained in this report include, but are not limited to, statements made in the “Letter from the management”; the information provided in the section captioned “Outlook 2019”; guidance from management regarding the expected operational use of cash during financial year 2019, statements regarding the amount and timing of potential future milestone, opt-in and/or royalty payments by Gilead; regarding the expected timing, design and readouts of ongoing and planned clinical trials (i) with filgotinib in rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and other indications, (ii) with GLPG1690 in IPF and SSc and GLPG1205 in IPF, (iii) with GLPG1972 in osteoarthritis, (iv) with MOR106 in atopic dermatitis, and (v) with GLPG3312, GLPG3970 and GLPG3667 in inflammation, and statements regarding the regulatory pathway for filgotinib and the timing of regulatory filings and potential approval thereof. We caution 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 our actual results, financial condition and liquidity, performance or achievements, or the development of the industry in which we operate, 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 our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate 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 our expectations regarding our 2019 revenues and financial results and our 2019 operating expenses may be incorrect (including because one or more of our assumptions underlying our 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 our clinical research programs may not support registration or further development of our product candidates due to safety, efficacy or other reasons); our reliance on collaborations with third parties (including our collaboration partner for filgotinib, Gilead, our collaboration partner for GLPG1972, Servier and our collaboration partners for MOR106, Novartis and MorphoSys), 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 our U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports, including in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC and our other filings and reports. We also refer 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. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update any such forward-looking statements in this document to reflect any change in our 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.
