What Changed
Risk factors · Jun 18, 2025 → Jun 9, 202645 added · 58 removed between the two most recent 10-Ks. The risks a company starts — or stops — disclosing are often the story.
Newly disclosed
- For example, as of early 2026, 20 states in the U.S. have comprehensive privacy laws in effect that impose privacy obligations on companies that do business in those states, and that collect personal information from certain individuals.
- As discussed in additional detail below, the Sweet Baked Snacks reporting unit has no remaining goodwill as a result of the impairment charges recorded during 2026, and the Hostess brand trademark was reclassified as a finite-lived intangible asset.
- Furthermore, we also completed our long-range planning process during the third quarter of 2026, which resulted in a decrease in projected net sales and segment profit for the Sweet Baked Snacks reportable segment compared to the projected financial information used in the previous impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2025.
- As a result of these declines and the narrow differences between estimated fair values and carrying values as of April 30, 2025, we performed an interim impairment test of the goodwill of the Sweet Baked Snacks reporting unit and the Hostess brand indefinite-lived trademark.
- We may encounter execution-related challenges or be affected by adverse economic, market, consumer trends, or other conditions that could limit our ability to fully realize the anticipated long-term benefits of the acquisition, which could adversely affect our results of operations or cash flows, delay or reduce the accretive impact of the transaction, and negatively impact the market price of our common shares.
- The goodwill impairment charge represents the full remaining carrying value of the goodwill within the Sweet Baked Snacks reporting unit and the indefinite-lived trademark impairment charge represents the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value.
- Additionally, we may be subject to claims, investigations, or litigation under federal or state ingredient, labeling, packaging, or securities laws, including securities class actions arising from our public disclosures, stock price volatility, or other factors, regardless of the merits of such claims.
- Prolonged or escalating geopolitical conflicts could also result in cyber incidents, further supply chain disruptions, reduced consumer confidence and demand, foreign currency exchange rate volatility, and additional barriers to international trade.
- Litigation is expensive, time consuming, and disruptive to management and may result in substantial defense costs, settlements, or judgments, as well as reputational harm and increased scrutiny from regulators and investors.
- Negative or untrue posts or comments about us, partners who we work with, our brands or products on social or digital media, including content produced by artificial intelligence, could damage our brands and reputation.
- As a result of the goodwill impairment charge, we completed an impairment review of the remaining long-lived assets within the Sweet Baked Snacks reporting unit and did not recognize any additional impairment charges.
- Retail Pet Foods reportable segment, which is susceptible to future impairment charges if there is any significant adverse changes in our near- or long-term projections for the brand or macroeconomic conditions.
No longer disclosed
- The estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value by greater than 10 percent for all of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets, with the exception of the Sweet Baked Snacks reporting unit and Hostess brand indefinite-lived trademark, as the carrying values approximated estimated fair values due to the impairment charges recognized during the third quarter of 2025.
- As a result of these assessments, we recognized total pre-tax impairment charges of $980.0 during the fourth quarter of 2025, of which $867.3 and $112.7 related to the goodwill of the Sweet Baked Snacks reporting unit and the Hostess brand indefinite-lived trademark, respectively.
- We evaluated whether it was more likely than not that the remaining goodwill of the Sweet Baked Snacks reporting unit was impaired as of October 31, 2024, and concluded that no impairment existed at this date.
- For example, in the U.S., California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia all have comprehensive privacy laws in effect that impose privacy obligations on companies that do business in these states and that collect personal information from certain individuals.
- We are defendants in ongoing consumer litigation associated with a voluntary recall of select Jif peanut butter products initiated in May 2022.
- Our failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating the two businesses and to realize the anticipated benefi ts of the acquisition could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our activities and could adversely affect our results of operations or cash flows, cause dilution to our earnings per share, decrease or delay any accretive effect of the transaction, and negatively impact the price of our common shares.
- Specifically, the difficulties of combining the operations of Hostess Brands with our business include, among others: • the diversion of management’s attention to acquisition matters; • difficulty in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities, and growth prospects from combining the Hostess Brands business with our business; • difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex company; • challenges in keeping existing customers and obtaining new customers; • challenges in attracting and retaining key personnel; • unanticipated expenses resulting from integration activities and disputes with third parties; and • unanticipated liabilities, such as environmental liabilities resulting from contamination at our properties or those of third parties.
- As a result of these declines and the narrow differences between estimated fair values and carrying values as of the annual assessment date, we performed an interim impairment assessment of the Sweet Baked Snacks reporting unit that indicated an estimated fair value significantly below the carrying value of the reporting unit.
- The integration process may disrupt the businesses and, if implemented ineffectively or if impacted by unforeseen negative economic or market conditions or other factors, we may not realize the full anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
- During 2023, we created a Transformation Office to support our multi-year commitment to ongoing margin enhancement efforts, inclusive of the removal of stranded overhead costs associated with the recent divestitures of certain Sweet Baked Snacks value brands, the Voortman , Canada condiment, and Sahale Snacks businesses, and certain pet food brands.
- Accordingly, no loss contingency has been recorded for these matters as of April 30, 2025, and the likelihood of loss is not considered probable or reasonably estimable. 14 Changes in our relationships with significant customers, including the loss of our largest customer, could adversely affect our results of operations.
- During 2025, we continued to experience materially higher commodity and supply chain costs, including manufacturing, ingredient, and packaging costs, due to inflationary pressures, and we expect the pressures of cost inflation to continue into 2026.
