Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 21, 2025 for the year ended June 27, 2025 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 set forth below, there have been no material changes from these risk factors previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 27, 2025. 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 not material may also adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or the market price of our common stock.

Long-term agreements expose us to certain execution, financial, and market risks, which could be significant.

We have entered into long-term agreements with certain customers that commit us to deliver and our customers to purchase substantial volumes of products over multi-year periods. Our ability to fulfill our obligations under these agreements depends on a number of factors, including our manufacturing capacity, production yields, supply chain performance, and the availability of raw materials and other critical inputs. If we are unable to deliver products in the quantities, at the times, or meeting the specifications required under these agreements, we may be subject to pricing or volume reductions, contractual damages, other financial penalties, or early termination. There can be no assurance that we will be able to perform these contractual obligations throughout the contract terms without disruption or shortfall. Any failure to perform could harm our customer relationships, damage our reputation, and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

If a customer were to breach its purchase obligations, or if we were to breach our obligations and a customer were to terminate or reduce its volume commitments, we may need to find alternative customers for any affected product volumes. Depending on market conditions at the time, we may be unable to resell those products at comparable prices, or at all, which could result in reduced revenue, lower margins, excess inventory, or manufacturing underutilization or asset impairment charges, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Each agreement includes certain financial guarantees that protect us if the customer fails to perform its purchase obligations. In such event, these financial guarantees are expected to offset at least some portion of revenue that may be lost due to the customer’s failure to perform, but they may not fully offset such lost revenue depending on when during the contract term the customer’s failure to perform were to occur and other factors.
