Controls assessed as effective

What to watch
-
No material risk-factor updates
The filing states that there were no material changes in risk factors during the quarter ended July 3, 2026. Accordingly, this 10-Q does not identify a newly escalated risk relative to the 2025 Form 10-K.
-
Buyback execution remains discretionary
The $66.7 million Special Share Repurchase Program balance and 17.7 million-share General Program authorization may be suspended or discontinued at any time by the Board, limiting certainty around future capital returns.
