STRATTEC SECURITY CORP

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Strattec Security Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Strattec Security Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 28, 2026, and June 29, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for the fiscal years ended June 28, 2026, June 29, 2025, and June 30, 2024 and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 ⁠(collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years ended June 28, 2026, June 29, 2025, and June 30, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 28, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

General Warranty Reserve – Refer to Note 2 to the Financial Statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company records a general warranty reserve for potential exposure to warranty claims in the event its products fail to perform as expected and when it is probable that they will participate in the repair costs incurred by its customers for such products.

The general warranty reserve is estimated based on management’s analysis of historical warranty data, current trends and information, projected claims for products sold, and the terms of specific agreements. The general warranty reserve requires management to apply significant judgment to develop its estimate. Actual warranty costs may differ from management’s estimated costs as a result of, but not limited to, negotiation with customers, changes to the assumptions of repair and/or replacement costs, and repair rate. Such matters may require future adjustments to the reserve which could be material.

We identified the general warranty reserve as a critical audit matter because estimating future warranty costs requires significant judgment by management. Auditing management’s assumptions about management’s estimated future warranty costs involves a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the determination of the general warranty reserve included the following, among others:

• We tested the effectiveness of internal controls relating to management’s process for developing the assumptions and inputs used to estimate the general warranty reserve.

• We evaluated the methods and significant assumptions, including the frequency and average cost of warranty claims, used by management to estimate the general warranty reserve by:

o Evaluating the methodology used to determine the general warranty reserve in order to understand how key assumptions were developed.

o Testing the accuracy of the underlying data that served as the basis for the analysis, including historical failure rates and costs to repair, share rates agreed upon with the customers, and units sold.

o Testing the completeness of the general warranty reserve by conducting inquiries of operational and executive management regarding knowledge of product issues and evaluating whether they were appropriately considered in the determination of the general warranty reserve.

o Testing the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculation of the general warranty reserve.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2023.

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Strattec Security Corporation

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Strattec Security Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 28, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 28, 2026 of the Company and our report dated August 28, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTSOF SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

CONSOLIDATED STATEM ENTS OF CASH FLOWS

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Strattec Security Corporation (the "Company" or “Strattec”), headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a leading global manufacturer and provider of highly engineered advanced automotive access and security products and solutions. Products include power access solutions, locks & locksets, keys & fobs, engineered latches, vehicle start systems, door handles, and other vehicle access products. Power access solu tions provide the motion control for power liftgates, sliding power doors and power tailgates. While the Company serves major automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) globally, the majority of sales are to the three largest OEMs in North America.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and reflect the consolidated results of Strattec. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest June 30. The years ended June 28, 2026, June 29, 2025, and June 30, 2024 are each comprised of 52 weeks.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses for the periods presented. These estimates and assumptions could also affect the disclosure of contingencies. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures to provide information to better assess how an entity's operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. For the Company, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (fiscal 2026). The Company adopted this standard prospectively with the additional and enhanced disclosures presented in Note 6, “Income taxes.”

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 (fiscal 2028) and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (fiscal 2029). The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Excess cash balances are invested in money market funds.

Receivables

Receivables are stated net of an allowance for credit losses. The collectability of receivables is evaluated on an ongoing basis. An allowance for credit losses is recorded for estimated amounts of receivables not expected to be collected based upon factors such as age of the outstanding receivables, historical payment experience, customer creditworthiness and general economic conditions.

Inventories

Inventories are comprised of material, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, and are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost method.

Excess and obsolete inventory reserves are recorded based on historical and estimated future demand and market conditions. The reserve level is determined by comparing inventory levels of individual raw materials, components and finished goods to historical usage and assessing the age of the inventory and likelihood of future sales. Technical obsolescence and other known factors are also considered in evaluating the reserve level.

Pre-production Costs

The Company incurs costs related to tooling used in the manufacture of products sold to its customers and engineering development. In some cases, the Company enters into contracts with its customers whereby the Company incurs the costs to design, develop and purchase tooling and is then reimbursed by the customer under a reimbursement contract. In addition, certain customer contracts include reimbursement of engineering development costs. Tooling costs and engineering development costs that will be reimbursed by customers are included in other Pre-production Costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at lower of accumulated cost or the customer reimbursable amount. To the extent that costs incurred exceed the contractual reimbursement, amounts are recognized as expense in the accompanying consolidated income statement when incurred.

Value-Added Tax

The Company's Mexican subsidiaries are subject to value-added tax (“VAT”). VAT is paid on goods and services and collected on sales. A VAT certification generally allows for relief from VAT tax for temporarily imported goods.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Land improvements have an estimated useful life of 20 years, while buildings and improvements range from 15 to 35 years, and machinery and equipment range from 3 to 15 years.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such indicators are present, the recoverability of assets is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is determined to not be recoverable, the impairment recognized is calculated as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over the fair value of the asset.

Leases

The Company determines whether a contractual arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. A lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset are measured and recognized based on the present value of lease payments. To determine the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as of the lease commencement date, unless there is a rate implicit in the lease agreement. The incremental borrowing rate is based on the Company's credit rating, determined on a fully collateralized loan basis from information available at commencement date, and the duration of the lease term.

Operating lease assets are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and the related liabilities are included in current lease liabilities and non-current lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For all classes of underlying assets, the Company accounts for leases that contain separate lease and non-lease components as containing a single lease component. The Company does not recognize lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities from leases with an original lease term of twelve months or less and, instead, recognizes rent payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the consolidated statements of income. Refer to Note 5, "Leases," for additional information.

Research and Development Costs

Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes, including significant impro vements and refinements to existing products, are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenditures were $21.8 million in 2026, $21.7 million in 2025, and $14.8 million in 2024.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of each derivative financial instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as an accounting hedge, as well as the type of hedging relationship identified. Cash flows for all derivative financial instruments are typically classified in cash flows from operating activities. Derivative instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company enters into currency forward contracts covering a portion of peso denominated operating costs. The objective in entering into these contracts was to minimize earnings volatility resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, specifically the Mexican peso. These currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges and, therefore, changes in fair value are recognized in Other income, net on the consolidated income statement.

Fair Value

The Company assesses the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier hierarchy:

•

Level 1-- Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

•

Level 2-- Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.

•

Level 3-- Unobservable inputs that include management’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, post-employment plan assets, accounts payable and variable rate borrowings under revolving credit agreements approximated the book value at June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, due to their short-term nature and the fact that the interest rates, as applicable, approximated market rates. The fair value of all derivative instruments were based on quoted inactive market prices and therefore are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Warranty Reserve

The Company generally offers its customers an assurance warranty on products sold, although warranty periods may vary by product type and application. The Company has a warranty reserve related to known and potential exposure to warranty claims in the event products fail to perform as expected and in the event the Company may be required to participate in the repair costs incurred by customers for such products. The estimation of the warranty reserve involves judgment and assumptions and is based on an analysis of historical warranty data as well as current trends and information. Changes in estimates related to pre-existing warranties are included in provision charged to expense in the table below. Changes in the warranty reserve were as follows (in thousands):

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company enters into contracts with customers to provide production parts generally at the beginning of a vehicle's lifecycle. Typically, these contracts do not provide for a specified quantity of products, but once entered into, the Company is often expected to fulfill our customers' purchasing requirements for the production life of the vehicle. Many of these contracts may be terminated by our customers at any time. However, terminations of these contracts have been infrequent, historically.

Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer under the terms of the contract, which is when parts are shipped or delivered. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the transaction price and the quantity of parts specified in the contract. Discrete price adjustments may occur during the vehicle production period in order for the Company to remain competitive with market prices or based on changes in product specifications. Some of these price adjustments require estimation. In the event the Company concludes that a portion of the revenue for a given part may vary from the purchase order, the Company records consideration at the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled based on historical experience and input from customer negotiations. The Company's customers pay for products received in accordance with payment terms that are customary within the industry.

The Company records income tax expense using the liability method which specifies that deferred tax assets and liabilities be measured each year based on the difference between the financial statement and tax base of assets and liabilities at the applicable enacted tax rates.

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when management considers it more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. At June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, a valuation allowance has been provided for certain deferred tax assets which the Company has concluded are more likely than not to not be realized. If future annual taxable income were to be significantly less than current and projected levels, there is a risk that certain of our deferred tax assets not already provided for by the valuation allowance would expire prior to utilization.

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes the interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and the average exchange rate for each applicable period for sales, costs and expenses. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes the cost of equity-based compensation awards based on the fair value estimated in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Based Compensation. The Company records equity compensation expense for awards with only a service vesting condition based on the fair value of such awards at the grant date and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Equity compensation expense for awards with performance vesting conditions is recorded based on the probable outcome of those performance conditions over the requisite service period.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock") outstanding during the respective period. The Company's diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potential shares of Common Stock outstanding during a period that do not have an anti-dilutive impact to the calculation. In computing the number of diluted shares outstanding, the treasury stock method is used in order to arrive at a net number of shares assumed issued upon the conversion of Common Stock equivalents.

NOTE 3. CREDIT FACILITIES

On October 27, 2025, the Company entered into a new revolving credit agreement with BMO Harris N.A. ("Amended & Restated Credit Agreement"), to replace the existing $40 million Strattec Credit Facility. The Amended & Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $40 million revolving line of credit maturing October 2028. The facility bears interest at varying rates based on the bank's prime rate or SOFR plus 1.50%. There wereno outstanding borrowings on the facility during fiscal 2026. The credit facility is secured by U.S. cash balances, accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets located in the U.S. and contains a restrictive financial covenant that requires a minimum net worth level.

The Company's joint venture, ADAC-Strattec LLC, entered into a revolving credit agreement with BMO Harris N.A. (the "Amended & Restated JV Credit Facility") on April 30, 2026, which provides for a $10 million asset-based revolving line of credit, subject to a borrowing base, maturing October 2028. The Amended & Restated JV Credit Facility bears interest at varying rates based on the bank's prime rate plus 1.00% or SOFR plus 1.75%. The Amended & Restated JV Credit Facility replaces the previous joint venture facility, which was terminated upon the closing of the agreement. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the joint venture's assets and contains restrictive financial covenants that require a minimum net worth level and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

As of June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

Outstanding borrowings under the joint venture credit agreements were as follows (in thousands):

See Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Recently Issued Accounting Standards for additional details on theadoption of ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes. Income tax provision differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. corporate income tax rate for the years ended June 28, 2026, due to the following items (in thousands):

1 State taxes in Michigan made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category.

The reconciliation of taxes at the Federal statutory rate to our provision for income taxes for the years ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 in accordance with the guidance prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-09 was as follows:

Cash paid for income taxes (net of refunds) for the year ended June 28, 2026 is as follows (in thousands):

At June 28, 2026, June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the Company had total unrecognized tax benefits of $4.7 million, $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, included in other noncurrent liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. At June 28, 2026, June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the liability included accrued interest of $1.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Substantially all these unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate.

The reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, is as follows (in thousands):

During fiscal 2026, the Company increased its reserve for unrecognized tax benefits by $1.8 million related to transfer pricing matters associated with its Mexican maquiladora operations. The increase reflects management's assessment of the expected outcome of ongoing discussions with the Mexican tax authorities regarding the application of an Advance Pricing Agreement methodology for certain historical tax years.

The deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities and related valuation allowance were comprised of the following (in thousands):

The Company has foreign tax credit carryforwards of $2.7 million (expiring between 2031 and 2045), research and development credits of $0.8 million (expiring in 2046), state credits of $0.7 million (expiring between 2062 and 2077) and a capital loss carryforward of $1.7 million (expiring in 2029). The Company has established a full valuation allowance against the foreign tax credit carryforwards and capital loss carryforward based on its assessment of future realization.

Income tax returns are filed in the United States, Wisconsin, Michigan and various other states, as well as Mexico and other foreign jurisdictions. Tax years open to examination by tax authorities under the statute of limitations include fiscal 2023 through 2027 for federal, fiscal 2021 through 2026 for most states and calendar 2017 through 2025 for foreign jurisdictions.

NOTE 9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

A reconciliation of the components of the basic and diluted per-share computations follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company grants service-based restricted stock awards ("RSAs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") to employees and non-employee directors under the Strattec Security Corporation 2024 Equity Incentive Plan ("2024 Equity Incentive Plan"). Prior to October 2024, RSAs were granted under the Amended and Restated Strattec Security Corporation Stock Incentive Plan ("Stock Incentive Plan"). Awards granted under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan that expire or are canceled without delivery of shares become available for re-issuance. No additional grants will be made under the Stock Incentive Plan.

The number of shares of the Company's common stock authorized under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan is 550,000. As of June 28, 2026, there were 364,808 shares available for future awards.

Shares of restricted stock granted under approved plans have voting rights, earn dividends and vest over a pre-determined period of time, up to three years from the date of the grant. The fair value of restricted stock awards are based on the closing stock price on the date of grant.

As of June 28, 2026,35,533 PSUs were outstanding which may be earned based on the achievement of certain financial metrics over athree-year period ending. The PSUs will vest ranging from 0% (for performance below threshold) to 200% (for performance above target) and continued employment. The fair value of PSUs was based on the closing stock price on the date of grant. The PSUs earn dividend equivalents during the vesting period while compensation expense is recognized over the service period when it is probable that the performance criteria will be met. As of June 28, 2026, there was $1.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested PSUs and $2.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSAs, which will be expensed over the remaining vesting period of approximately 2 years.

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time the Company is subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to our business, including those arising out of alleged defects, alleged breaches of contracts, product warranties, intellectual property matters and employment related matters. The Company believes that the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company maintains an environmental reserve reflecting the estimated costs of remediation of a solvent spill which occurred at the Milwaukee facility in 1985. Based on findings to date and known environmental regulations, the Company believes that the $1.4 million environmental reserve included in Other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 28, 2026 is adequate.

We do not currently anticipate any materially adverse impact on our financial statements or competitive position as a result of compliance with federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws or other legal requirements. However, risk of further environmental liability and charges associated with maintaining compliance with environmental laws is inherent in the nature of our business and there is no assurance that material liabilities or charges could not arise.
