Management says results and financial condition have been affected by economic uncertainty and socioeconomic pressures, including subdued spending, depressed sentiment, value-seeking behavior, elevated unemployment, inflation, and reduced discretionary income. The company expects some or all of these conditions to continue through the remainder of Fiscal 2027 and potentially materially affect results and financial condition. It says it may not be able to fully offset softer demand and rising costs through pricing, productivity, efficiency, inventory management, marketing, or hedging.
