Basis of Presentation [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | The consolidated balance sheet of Graco Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 25, 2015 and the related statements of earnings for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2015 and September 26, 2014, and cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2015 and September 26, 2014 have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 25, 2015, and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that will be realized for the full fiscal year.
