Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Moog Inc. filed an amended report updating its change in independent auditors and related disclosures. Ernst & Young LLP completed the audit of Moog’s fiscal 2025 financial statements on November 26, 2025, and was dismissed as independent registered public accounting firm effective that same date. EY’s audit reports on the 2024 and 2025 consolidated financial statements were clean, but its report on internal control over financial reporting as of September 27, 2025 expressed an adverse opinion due to a material weakness in controls over distinct long-term aftermarket service revenue contracts in the Commercial Aircraft segment. The company’s audit committee discussed this weakness with EY and authorized EY to fully brief successor auditor KPMG LLP, which has been engaged for the fiscal year ending October 3, 2026. Moog states there were no disagreements with EY on accounting, disclosure, or audit scope and no other reportable events beyond the disclosed material weakness.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Adverse internal control opinion: EY concluded Moog did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 27, 2025 because of a material weakness in controls over distinct long-term aftermarket service revenue contracts in the Commercial Aircraft segment.

Insights

Moog discloses a control weakness and completes an auditor transition.

Moog confirms the timing of Ernst & Young’s dismissal after completing the fiscal 2025 audit and reiterates that EY issued clean opinions on the 2024 and 2025 financial statements. However, EY gave an adverse opinion on internal control over financial reporting due to a material weakness in revenue contract controls within the Commercial Aircraft segment.

The filing emphasizes there were no disagreements with EY on accounting, disclosure, or audit scope, and no additional reportable events beyond the identified weakness. The audit committee has involved EY in briefing successor auditor KPMG, which takes over beginning with the quarter ending January 3, 2026. Subsequent filings will be important for tracking remediation of the material weakness described as of September 27, 2025.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Form 8-K/A”) amends the current report on Form 8-K that was filed by Moog Inc (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 8, 2025 (the “Original Report”), reporting the Company’s decision to: (i) dismiss Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm following EY’s completion of the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2025 and the audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 27, 2025 and the issuance of their reports thereon; and (ii) engage KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 3, 2026. This Form 8-K/A is being filed to disclose the specific date of EY’s dismissal and to update the disclosures required by Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K through that date.

Item 4.01Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On November 26, 2025, EY completed its audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2025. Accordingly, the dismissal of EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was effective November 26, 2025.

The audit reports of EY on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended September 28, 2024 and September 27, 2025 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended September 28, 2024 and September 27, 2025, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Form 8-K/A, there were no “disagreements” (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) between the Company and EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to EY’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement; or (ii) except as described below, “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

EY’s report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 27, 2025 contained an adverse opinion, specifically, that the Company had not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 27, 2025, due to the effect of a material weakness identified by management in the design and operation of its controls over distinct long-term aftermarket service revenue contracts in the Company’s Commercial Aircraft segment, as reported by the Company in “Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2025, filed with the SEC on November 26, 2025. This material weakness was discussed by the Company’s Audit Committee and EY. The Audit Committee has authorized EY to respond fully to the inquiries of KPMG concerning such material weakness.

The Company has provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to EY and requested that EY furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether EY agrees with the above statements. A copy of EY’s letter, dated November 26, 2025, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K/A.

As previously disclosed in the Original Report, the Company engaged KPMG as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 3, 2026, beginning with the review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter ending January 3, 2026.

During the fiscal years ended September 28, 2024 and September 27, 2025 and the subsequent interim period
through the date of this Form 8-K/A, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted with
KPMG regarding any of the matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
