What Changed
Risk factors · Dec 5, 2024 → Dec 5, 2025116 added · 74 removed between the two most recent 10-Ks. The risks a company starts — or stops — disclosing are often the story.
Newly disclosed
- For example, based on an assessment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and in connection with the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements, the Company initiated an impairment review of its investment in Garudafood and concluded that the decline in fair value was no longer believed to be temporary.
- During the Company’s fiscal 2025 quantitative impairment testing, the International reporting unit with a goodwill balance of $258.9 million was identified as having modest fair value in excess of its carrying amount and is considered at heightened risk of impairment.
- For example, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 a fire occurred at the Company’s Little Rock, Arkansas, peanut butter production facility, which negatively impacted production at the facility.
- For example, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company issued a voluntary, class 1 recall related to certain chicken products sold in foodservice channels.
- For example, multiple states in the U.S. have implemented, or are considering implementing, extended producer responsibility laws that will require the Company to enact policies and processes and will increase expenses, including through fees paid to state governments in connection with such laws.
- If the Company fails to effectively implement these updates, the risk of an adverse cybersecurity incident may increase, including for example if vendors fail to continue to provide security updates for legacy technologies.
- For example, the Company uses commodities and energy inputs in its operations that may face increased regulation due to a changing climate or other environmental concerns, which could increase the Company's costs.
- If the Company continues to face unfavorable changes in any of the factors impacting its intangible assets, the Company may be required to record impairment charges in connection with such assets, which could adversely affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
- However, the Company may be unable to anticipate security incidents, detect attacks, or implement adequate preventive measures as cyber threats continue to evolve and cyberattacks have become more sophisticated and frequent, including through the use of enhanced technologies and capabilities (such as artificial intelligence) by threat actors with a wide range of expertise and motives.
- Errors or malicious actions by the Company's team members or contractors and other vulnerabilities or irregularities could also negate the Company's security measures or those of third parties with whom the Company does business and result in a compromise or breach of the Company's or their IT systems.
- If the Company or third parties with whom the Company does business experience additional significant information security, cybersecurity, or data privacy incidents or fail to detect and appropriately respond to significant incidents, the Company's business operations could be severely disrupted and it could be exposed to costly government enforcement actions and private litigation.
- It may be difficult to address negative publicity or sensationalism across media channels, regardless of its accuracy or the reputability of its source, including as a result of fictitious media content (such as content produced by artificial intelligence or bad actors).
No longer disclosed
- In addition, during fiscal 2023, the Company recorded a $7.0 million impairment charge related to a corporate venturing investment to recognize a decline in fair value not believed to be temporary.
- Should the impact last longer, or be more severe than currently anticipated, it is likely the Company would have to recognize an impairment charge on this trade name, which is currently valued at $675 million. 7 Table of Contents The Company is subject to the risk of disruption of operations, including at owned facilities, co-manufacturers, suppliers, logistics providers, customers, or other third-party service providers.
- During fiscal 2023, an impairment was indicated for the Justin’s ® trade name, resulting in an impairment charge of $28.4 million.
- If the Company fails to timely complete this work, the risk of an adverse cybersecurity incident may increase, if, for example, vendors fail to continue to provide security updates.
- If an outbreak of ASF were to occur in the U.S., the Company’s supply of hogs and pork could be materially impacted. 9 Table of Contents HPAI was detected within the Company’s turkey supply chain during fiscal 2024 and the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
- If one or more of these risks were to materialize, the Company could incur significant costs, loss of sales, regulatory action, or litigation as well as negative impacts to its brand and business reputation.
- Neither litigation trends nor the outcomes of litigation can be predicted with certainty and adverse litigation trends and outcomes could negatively affect the Company’s financial results.
- For example, pork harvest facilities that the Company relies upon in its supply chain are subject to maximum production line speeds.
- Cyber incidents are occurring more frequently across U.S. industries and are being made by groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise.
- Fiscal 2024 net sales for Planters ® snack nuts were negatively impacted by production disruptions at the Suffolk, Virginia, facility.
- There is also the risk of post-acquisition impairment charges if purchase assumptions are not achieved.
- The Company is involved on an ongoing basis in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.
