Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to various risks. Investors should review and consider the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2026, and in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended April 4, 2026 and July 4, 2026, along with the additional risk factors included below. We may disclose changes to these risk factors or additional risk factors in our future filings with the SEC as the business environment and conditions change. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material also may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has resulted in significant volatility in the global energy and commodity markets, increased energy and shipping costs, disruptions to international shipping lanes (including the Strait of Hormuz) and heightened risks of supply-chain interruptions, cyber-attacks and terrorism. Certain of our direct or indirect suppliers also have been negatively impacted by these events, resulting in increased costs to us for certain materials and components. The continuation or escalation of hostilities in the Middle East region has adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, global economic conditions, and could lead to other delivery schedule, order activity and/or supply chain disruptions, result in continued elevated transportation and energy costs and other inflationary pressures or otherwise negatively impact our operations. Sustained elevated energy costs, including the cost of jet fuel, could adversely impact demand and/or utilization of our aircraft and rotorcraft products. Furthermore, the potential for retaliatory acts of cyberwarfare against U.S. defense companies in response to the hostilities could result in increased cyber-attacks against us. The impact of any one or more of these or other factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

On April 30, 2026, we announced our intention to separate our Industrial segment from the Company and its core aerospace and defense businesses (the Separation) pursuant to a sale of the Industrial businesses, a tax-free separation of the Industrial businesses into a standalone, publicly traded company or another transaction. The Company continues to explore several paths to effect the Separation, but at this time there is uncertainty as to the terms, structure and timing of any transaction, whether the closing conditions for a transaction will be satisfied or waived, and whether the Separation will be completed on the Company’s targeted timeline or at all. Additional factors such as conditions in the equity and debt markets and other external conditions or developments, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, could delay the completion of the Separation relative to its targeted timeline, prevent it from occurring at all or, if it does occur, adversely impact the future operating and financial performance, market position and business strategy for the Company and/or the Industrial segment following the Separation. These or other unanticipated developments could also cause the Separation to occur on terms or conditions that are less favorable than anticipated. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the Separation, if completed, will be successful in meeting its objectives or achieving its intended benefits.

On September 2, 2026, a continuing resolution (CR) was enacted to provide funding for the federal government, including the DoW, through December 11, 2026, generally at FY 2026 funding levels. Annual appropriations for FY 2027 have not yet been enacted, and it remains uncertain when the government will approve full-year FY 2027 appropriations and what levels of funding those appropriations will provide. Government operations under an extended CR could have adverse impacts on our programs, including the MV-75 program. If the CR is not extended or full-year appropriations legislation is not enacted before the current CR expires, a government shutdown could occur. A prolonged government shutdown could result in program disruptions and limit the U.S. Government’s ability to progress programs and make timely payments.
