Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in the Information Statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 10, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 25, 2024 and as further amended thereafter and declared effective on January 31, 2025 (as amended, the “Form 10”) for the year ended June 28, 2024 a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, results of operations and financial condition. Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes from these risk factors previously described in our Form 10 for the year ended June 28, 2024. These risks and uncertainties are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or the market price of our common stock.

Future material impairments in the value of our goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets would negatively affect our operating results.

We regularly review our goodwill and property, plant and equipment for potential impairment. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to impairment reviews on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. The Company uses qualitative factors to determine whether goodwill is more-likely-than-not impaired and whether a quantitative test for impairment is considered necessary. If the Company concludes from the qualitative assessment that goodwill is more-likely-than-not-impaired, the Company is required to perform a quantitative analysis to determine the amount of impairment. Subsequent to the completion of the separation, the Company identified potential impairment indicators related to the trading price of the Company’s common stock and a resulting market capitalization that was below its December 27, 2024 net book value. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification No. 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company initiated a quantitative analysis of potential impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets. That analysis is ongoing, and the Company believes it is more likely that not that it will record an impairment charge in the three months ended March 28, 2025. Further adverse changes to macroeconomic conditions or our estimates of the fair value of our reporting unit could impact the amount of any impairment charges or lead to additional impairment charges. Material impairment charges would negatively affect our results of operations.
