Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On December 10, 2024, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Sonos, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the engagement of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 27, 2025, effective immediately. Accordingly, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the Company’s prior independent registered public accounting firm, was informed on December 10, 2024 that it was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
PwC’s audit reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, and the subsequent interim period through December 10, 2024: (1) there were no “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304) with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such periods and (2) there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided PwC with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that PwC furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether PwC agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Report and, if not, stating the respects, if any, in which PwC does not agree with such statements. A copy of the letter from PwC is filed with this Report as Exhibit 16.1.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, and the subsequent interim period through December 10, 2024, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with KPMG regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that KPMG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 or a “reportable event” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
