Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On February 19, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Weis Markets, Inc. (the “Company”), in consultation with Company management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, RSM US LLP (“RSM”), concluded that the Company’s previously issued audited consolidated financial statements as of December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 and for the years ended December 28, 2024, December 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”), and the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 29, 2025 (the “Q1 2025 Quarterly Report”), the quarter ended June 28, 2025 (the “Q2 2025 Quarterly Report”) and the quarter ended September 27, 2025 (the “Q3 2025 Quarterly Report” and together with the Q1 2025 Quarterly Report, the Q2 2025 Quarterly Report, and the 2024 Annual Report, the “Reports” and all financial statements included in the Reports, collectively the “Affected Financials”) should no longer be relied upon. The Audit Committee further concluded that any previously issued or filed reports, press releases, earnings releases and investor presentations or other communications describing the Company’s consolidated financial statements and other related financial information covering the periods described in the Affected Financials should also no longer be relied upon.
In connection with its annual audit, the Company was informed through established third-party provided protocols of a reported concern on February 9, 2026 indicating that certain inventory amounts related to a single meat product manufacturing plant may have been overstated in the Affected Financials. The reported concern was assessed for validity, after which the appropriate members of Company management initiated an internal investigation with oversight by the Audit Committee. Given the nature and potential significance of the reported concern, the Audit Committee also engaged outside legal counsel to conduct a separate investigation and report findings directly to the Audit Committee. Collectively, the preliminary results of the internal and independent investigations informed the conclusions reached by the Audit Committee on February 19, 2026.
At this time, 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. The adjustment required to correct the overstated inventory amounts would not affect net sales. 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 is unable at this time to estimate the timing for completion of the filing of any restatements of financial statements for the periods included in the Affected Financials. The Company is also evaluating the impact of this matter on internal controls over financials reporting.
The Audit Committee and the Company have discussed these matters with RSM.
