| (b) | The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and | ||||
| (c) | The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable. |
The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 52-week fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report") is delayed because the Company requires additional time to complete a review and analysis of the impact to, and associated restatement of, its historical financial statements related to the incorrect recording of certain overstated inventory amounts. The Company continues to work diligently to complete the remaining review and restatement procedures. The Company expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the 52‑week fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, including all required restated financial statements, no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date of February 25, 2026, or March 12, 2026; however, the timing of the filing may be subject to further delay, and the Company cannot provide assurance regarding the definitive filing date while this work remains in progress.
| Persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number. |

| (2) | Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). | |
| Yes[ x ] No[ ] | ||
| (3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? | |
| Yes[ x ] No[ ] | ||
| If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
The Company estimates that the incorrect recording of overstated inventory is up to $22 million as of the quarter ended September 27, 2025 which is an aggregation of an error that accumulated over multiple reporting periods. As of the quarter ended September 27, 2025, the aggregated estimate amount represents approximately 6.7% of Inventories within Current Assets and approximately 1.1% of Total Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These estimated adjustments are preliminary, and while the Company currently expects to report such estimated adjustments, there can be no assurance that the final adjustments made as part of any restatement will not differ materially from these estimates. The Company has not yet finalized the results of operations for the fiscal years included in the Affected Financials and is currently unable to provide further quantitative explanation of the anticipated change in its results of operations. As described above, the Company requires additional time to complete a review and analysis of the impact to, and associated restatement of, its historical financial statements related to the incorrect recording of certain overstated inventory amounts and to prepare the Company's financial statements for the 52-week fiscal year ended December 27, 2025. The adjustment required to correct the overstated inventory amounts would not affect net sales. As a result, the Company has disclosed preliminary unaudited net sales results. Net sales and other revenue totaled $4.96 billion for the 52‑week fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, compared with $4.79 billion for the 52‑week fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, an increase of 3.5 percent. Fiscal year 2025 comparable store sales excluding fuel increased 2.1 percent on an individual year‑over‑year basis and increased 4.0 percent on a two‑year stacked basis. The Company will provide full financial results in its annual report on Form 10-K. |
