estimates, and projections provided by Terran Orbital that reflect
management's views regarding the anticipated future financial and
operating performance of Terran Orbital. Forward-looking statements
are statements that are not historical, including statements
regarding operational and financial plans, terms and performance of

Forward looking statements are typically identified by such words
