Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Oct 30, 2026
- We are continuously evaluating our capital structure in response to the current environment and expect that our current financial condition, including our liquidity sources are adequate to fund future commitments.
- We will continue to monitor the conflicts and assess the related restrictions and other effects and pursue prudent decisions for our team members, customers, and business.
- We expect to incur additional immaterial near-term inefficiencies.
- As a contract manufacturer, we expect to recover the cost of tariffs by passing tariff costs to our customers which would increase net sales, decrease operating income margins, and negatively affect operating cash flow timing as we recover paid tariffs from our customers.
- We will continue to monitor changes in global trade policy and employ measures to mitigate the impact of tariffs and leverage competitive opportunities.
- The Company generally expects to pass through increases in memory costs to its customers, where contractual mechanisms permit recovery of component cost increases, however, sustained increases in memory pricing could continue to favorably impact net sales, while unfavorably impacting our gross profit percentage and increasing inventory balances and working capital requirements.
- Due to global economic conditions, including the impact of ongoing trade conflicts and tariffs, and geopolitical conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and recent U.S. and Israeli military operations in Iran), there has been and we expect there will continue to be uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets.
- We undertook targeted restructuring activities to improve operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce capacity.
- We expect that our current financial condition, including our liquidity sources are adequate to fund current and future commitments.
- As of September 25, 2026, we were in compliance with the covenants under all of our credit facilities and indentures; we also expect to remain in compliance with the covenants in the upcoming 12 months for our credit facilities and indentures.
- We do not currently expect such regulations and restrictions to impact our ability to pay vendors and conduct operations throughout the global organization.
- We may enter into debt and equity financings, sales of accounts receivable and lease transactions to fund acquisitions and anticipated growth as needed.
