CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information in this report and its exhibit contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The words “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“intends,” “continue,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “future,” “potential,” “estimate,” or the
negative of such terms and similar expressions as they relate to Pioneer are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements and Pioneer’s business prospects are subject
to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results in future periods to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other
things, volatility of commodity prices, product supply and demand, competition, the ability to
obtain environmental and other permits and the timing thereof, other government regulation or
action, third party approvals, international operations and associated international political and
economic instability, litigation, the costs and results of drilling and operations, access to and
availability of drilling equipment and transportation, processing and refining facilities,
Pioneer’s ability to replace reserves, implement its business plans (including its plan to
repurchase stock) or complete its development projects as scheduled, access to and cost of capital,
uncertainties about estimates of reserves and resource potential and the ability to book proved
reserves in the future, the assumptions underlying production forecasts, quality of technical data,
environmental and weather risks, and acts of war or terrorism. These and other risks are described
in Pioneer’s 10-K and 10-Q Reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, Pioneer may be subject to currently unforeseen risks that may have a materially
adverse impact on it. Pioneer undertakes no duty to publicly update these statements except as
required by law.
