FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTSThe following discussion contains forward-looking statements, including those about Nielsen’s outlook and prospects, within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are those which are not historical
facts and may be identified by words such as ‘will’, “intend” “expect”, “estimates,” ‘anticipates’, ‘should’, ‘could’, ‘shall’ and
similar expressions. These and other statements that relate to future results and events are based on Nielsen’s current
expectations as of November 9, 2017.
These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results and events could differ materially from what presently
is expected. Factors leading thereto may include, without limitation, general economic conditions, conditions in the markets
Nielsen is engaged in, behavior of customers, suppliers and competitors, technological developments, as well as legal and
regulatory rules affecting Nielsen’s business and specific risk factors discussed in press releases and public filings made by
Nielsen (including those described in the forward-looking statements can be found under the section entitled “Part I—Item 1A.
Risk Factors” of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and our other filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission). This list of factors is not intended to be exhaustive. Such forward-looking
statements only speak as of the date of these materials, and we assume no obligation to update any written or oral forward-
looking statement made by us or on our behalf as a result of new information, future events or other factors, except as required
by law.
Our outlook is provided for the purpose of providing information about current expectations for 2017, 2018 and our long term
framework.
NON-GAAP INFORMATION
The following discussion contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. See the Appendix for additional information regarding
the definition and use of these measures, including a reconciliation of these measures to financial information presented in
accordance with GAAP.
