Paragraphs with nothing like them in last year's 10-K
16 paragraphs in Risk Factors of the 10-K filed Nov 21, 2025 with nothing like them in the 10-K filed Nov 15, 2024. Quoted exactly. Paragraphs that were only edited are under 10-K change.
During recent years, we have experienced increased input and freight costs, including as a result of inflation, tariffs, labor shortages and heightened interest rates. During fiscal 2025, cost pressures on certain inputs eased, while other inputs continued to face heightened cost pressures, and we expect this trend to continue into fiscal 2026. We anticipate that announced tariffs, and any potential future modifications or incremental tariffs, could increase supply chain challenges, commodity cost volatility and consumer and economic uncertainty due to rapid changes in global trade policies. Similarly, from time to time, we experience limited supply or shortages of certain of our inputs or freight availability, which has resulted, and may in the future result, in us paying increased amounts for such inputs or freight or has impacted, and may in the future impact, our ability to produce or deliver our products. Also, in response to changing regulatory or market-driven requirements, we may need to source new inputs from third-party suppliers, which may be limited in availability or result in increased costs.
We have in the past been and continue to be adversely affected by changes in macroeconomic conditions and other conditions and events resulting in economic or financial market uncertainty or business disruption, which may from time to time
•increased volatility in commodity or other input costs or availability, which could include substantial cost increases or input shortages as a result of product reformulations or packaging changes;
•increases in the costs of equipment or other materials necessary for our planned capital projects;
•physical harm to our, our customers or third-party manufacturers’, suppliers’ or vendors’ employees or properties; and

hiring, integrating and training our workforce also require significant time and expense. Additionally, in recent years, we have been undergoing various network optimization projects, which have resulted or will result in workforce reductions of selected workers. If we fail to retain the necessary employees during and because of these projects, it could have material adverse impacts on our operations.
cybersecurity breach to date, nor have we had a material impact resulting from a breach of one of our Third Parties, we have had and continue to experience General Cyber Events or other events of this nature and expect them to continue.
Labor strikes or work stoppages by our employees or employees of third parties in our supply chain could harm our businesses.
Our businesses can be adversely affected if we are unable to effectively market our existing products or effectively develop, introduce or market new products, if we are unable to establish and convey our brand and product value to consumers, if we do not have adequate or desirable shelf space or product accessibility or visibility on online platforms, if we are unable to
effectively leverage technology or develop the data analytics capabilities needed to generate actionable commercial insights and appropriately act on such insights, if we are unable to develop and maintain relationships with our customers, if our competitors spend more aggressively or effectively on advertising and promotional activities than we do or if we are otherwise unable to compete effectively. Further, increased competition can reduce our sales due to loss of market share or require us to reduce prices to respond to competitive and customer pressures or can result in increased capital, marketing or other expenditures. In recent years, smaller competitors have been gaining market share in categories in which our retail businesses compete. Competitive and customer pressures, as well as industry supply and market demand, also from time to time limit our ability to increase prices, including in response to increased costs (such as those resulting from inflation or new or increased tariffs).
•we may encounter challenges as a result of offering the acquired businesses’ product portfolios, including when that portfolio includes products, such as peanut butter, with greater vulnerability to contamination or other food safety concerns and heightened regulatory risks;
