'LVFORVXUHV 2 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT This Investor Presentation contains “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27 A of the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended, and Section 21 E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended . In general, forward - looking statements usually may be identified through use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “estimate,” “predict,” “continue” and “potential,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology . Forward - looking statements are not historical facts and represent management’s beliefs, based upon information available at the time the statements are made, with regard to the matters addressed; they are not guarantees of future performance . Actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward - looking statements . Forward - looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that change over time and could cause actual results or financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements . Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to general competitive, economic, political, regulatory and market conditions . Further information regarding additional factors which could affect the forward - looking statements contained in this Investor Presentation can be found in the cautionary language included under the headings “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward - Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in United’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31 , 2024 , and other documents subsequently filed by United with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) . Many of these factors are beyond United’s ability to control or predict . If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from the forward - looking statements . Accordingly, shareholders and investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward - looking statements . Any forward - looking statement speaks only as of the date of this communication, and United undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward - looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law . New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for United to predict their occurrence or how they will affect United . United qualifies all forward - looking statements by these cautionary statements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¶ V XQGHUO\LQJ SHUIRUPDQFH WUHQGV )XUWKHU 8QLWHG ¶ V PDQDJHPHQW XVHV WKHVH PHDVXUHV LQ PDQDJLQJ DQG HYDOXDWLQJ 8QLWHG ¶ V EXVLQHVV DQG LQWHQGV WR UHIHU WR WKHP LQ GLVFXVVLRQV DERXW 8QLWHG ¶ V RSHUDWLRQV DQG SHUIRUPDQFH 7KHVH PHDVXUHV VKRXOG EH YLHZHG LQ DGGLWLRQ WR DQG QRW DV DQ DOWHUQDWLYH WR RU VXEVWLWXWH IRU PHDVXUHV GHWHUPLQHG LQ DFFRUGDQFH ZLWK *$$3 DQG DUH QRW QHFHVVDULO\ FRPSDUDEOH WR QRQ *$$3 PHDVXUHV WKDW PD\ EH SUHVHQWHG E\ RWKHU FRPSDQLHV 7R WKH H[WHQW DSSOLFDEOH UHFRQFLOLDWLRQV RI WKHVH QRQ *$$3 PHDVXUHV WR WKH PRVW GLUHFWO\ FRPSDUDEOH PHDVXUHV DV UHSRUWHG LQ DFFRUGDQFH ZLWK *$$3 DUH LQFOXGHG ZLWK WKH DFFRPSDQ\LQJ ILQDQFLDO VWDWHPHQW WDEOHV
