Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2026, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2026-02, “Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818).” The ASU is intended to improve the financial accounting for and disclosure of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. The ASU is required to be adopted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial disclosures.

Supplier Finance Program

The Company has an agreement with a third-party financial institution that allows certain participating suppliers the ability to finance payment obligations from the Company. The third-party financial institution has separate arrangements with the Company’s suppliers and provides them with the option to request early payment for invoices confirmed by the Company. The Company does not determine the terms or conditions of the arrangement between the third-party and its suppliers and receives no compensation from the third-party financial institution. The Company’s obligation to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under the arrangement. A greater number of suppliers began participating in the supplier finance program during the fiscal three and six months ended June 27, 2026 compared to the fiscal three and six months ended June 28, 2025, driving a larger balance in outstanding payment obligations under the program as of June 27, 2026 as compared to December 27, 2025 and June 28, 2025. The Company’s outstanding payment obligations under the supplier finance program, which are included in accounts payable on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $179.0 million, $30.6 million, and $34.2 million at June 27, 2026, December 27, 2025, and June 28, 2025, respectively.
