Item 2.02Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On November 18, 2024, Symbotic Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results and other information for the fiscal quarter and year ended September 28, 2024. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Also on November 18, 2024, Symbotic Inc. posted on its investor relations website a supplemental presentation relating to its previously issued fiscal 2024 quarterly financial statements. A copy of the supplemental presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
On November 18, 2024, the Company, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, determined that it will be required to restate its previously issued unaudited interim financial statements for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal year 2024 that were previously filed in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q on February 8, 2024, May 7, 2024 and July 31, 2024, respectively. The Company’s previously issued financial statements for these periods should therefore no longer be relied upon.
The planned restatement being disclosed today is being made in connection with the Company’s identification, during fiscal year 2024, of goods and services, primarily relating to specific milestone achievements, being expensed prior to the time that the corresponding milestones were achieved. This resulted in the acceleration of the recognition of cost of revenue. Given that the Company recognizes revenue on a percentage of completion basis, this resulted in the acceleration of recognition of revenue.
The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with Grant Thornton LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, prior to making its recommendation to the Company.
