The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 29, 2024 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023. The Company’s results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period, or for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 8, 2024 and all our other periodic filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC after the end of our 2023 fiscal year, and throughout the date of this report.

Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, investments, cash flows from operations and available debt financing will be sufficient to finance our operational cash needs through at least the next twelve months.
