Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed) that management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended May 3, 2025, filed with the SEC on July 9, 2025. Results may vary from quarter to quarter for reasons other than seasonality.
Financial Reporting Periods | Financial reporting periods The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to April 30 of the following year, typically resulting in a 52-week year, but occasionally giving rise to an additional week, resulting in a 53-week year. The current fiscal year ending May 2, 2026 is a 52-week fiscal year. The three months ended August 2, 2025 and July 27, 2024 were both 13-week periods.
Use of Estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they occur.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent accounting pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU No. 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The Company will include the disclosures required under ASU No. 2023-09 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending May 2, 2026. The Company expects the adoption to only impact its financial statement disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.” ASU 2024-03 requires public entities to disclose more detailed information about certain costs and expenses presented in the income statement, including inventory purchases, employee compensation, selling expenses and depreciation. ASU 2024-03 will become effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning in fiscal 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statement disclosures.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of significant accounting policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended May 3, 2025. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies in the three months ended August 2, 2025.
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign currency translation The functional currencies of the majority of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are their local currencies. The results of operations of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using average monthly rates, while the assets and liabilities are translated using period-end exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”). Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, except certain long-term intercompany transactions, are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in other expense, net. Net foreign exchange loss was $1.5 million in the three months ended August 2, 2025, compared to $0.6 million in the three months ended July 27, 2024.
Inventory | Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Finished products and work-in-process inventories include direct material costs and direct and indirect manufacturing costs. The Company records reserves for inventory that may be obsolete or in excess of current and future market demand.
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method using estimated useful lives of 5 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements, 7 to 15 years for machinery and equipment and 3 years for computer equipment.
Loss per Share | Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period, but excludes any contingently issued shares where the contingency has not been resolved. The weighted average number of common shares used in the diluted loss per share calculation is determined using the treasury stock method which includes the effect of all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.
Contingencies | Certain litigation arising in the normal course of business is pending against us. The Company is, from time-to-time, subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to our business, including those arising out of alleged defects, breach of contracts, employment-related matters, environmental matters and intellectual property matters. The Company has established loss provisions for matters in which losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. The Company considers insurance coverage and third-party indemnification, among other things, when determining required accruals for pending litigation and claims. Although the outcome of potential legal actions and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the Company's opinion, based on the information available, that it has adequate reserves for these liabilities. However, the ultimate outcome of any matter could require payment in excess of any amount that the Company may have accrued.
