Utz Brands, Inc. furnished an update about its recent financial communications and investor outreach. The company reported that it issued a press release with preliminary, unaudited financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended December 28, 2025. These figures are described as estimates that remain subject to normal year-end closing procedures and review by Utz’s independent registered public accounting firm, so they may change when final results are completed.
The press release is attached as an exhibit and is treated as “furnished” rather than “filed” under securities law, which limits how it is incorporated into other regulatory documents. Utz also disclosed that it will participate in a fireside chat at the 28th Annual ICR Conference in Orlando, with a live webcast available through the company’s investor relations website.
