Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information.

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2026. The results of operations for the three months ended July 3, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year. Fiscal calendar We have a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to March 31. Unless otherwise stated, references to three month periods in this report relate to fiscal periods ended July 3, 2026 and July 4, 2025. The three months ended July 3, 2026 consisted of 13 weeks, whereas the three months ended July 4, 2025 consisted of 14 weeks. Our 2027 fiscal year consists of 52 weeks and ends on April 2, 2027. Use of estimates The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, valuation of business combinations including acquired intangible assets and goodwill, loss contingencies, provision for credit losses, valuation of our contingent value rights (CVRs), the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income taxes, including assessment of unrecognized tax benefits, and valuation of assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management determines these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Third-party valuation specialists are also utilized for certain estimates. Actual results could differ from such estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment as a result of macroeconomic factors such as inflation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, our reporting currency, changes in interest rates, ongoing and new geopolitical conflicts, and such differences may be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant accounting policies There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as of and for the three months ended July 3, 2026, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2026.
