Weis Markets (WMK) delays 2025 10-K after inventory restatement notice

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Weis Markets, Inc. has notified the SEC that its 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K will be late because the company needs additional time to complete a review and restatement of historical financial statements related to incorrectly recorded overstated inventory amounts.

The company stated the Audit Committee concluded certain prior-year audited and quarterly financial statements "should no longer be relied upon." Weis expects to file the 2025 Form 10-K, including restated financials, by March 12, 2026 if possible, but said timing may be subject to further delay.

Accounting & Restatement Specialist

Audit Committee withdrew reliance on prior financials; restatement in progress.

The Audit Committee concluded that audited consolidated statements for prior years and interim quarterly financials "should no longer be relied upon," triggering a required restatement process tied to "incorrect recording of certain overstated inventory amounts." The company is completing review and restatement procedures for filing.

Key dependencies include completion of inventory-specific adjustments, auditor concurrence, and the incorporation of restated periods into the 2025 Form 10-K. The filing target is the fifteenth calendar day after the prescribed due date, March 12, 2026, but the company cautioned timing may change.

Corporate Governance Analyst

Board-level oversight prompted public notification and delayed annual filing.

The Audit Committee’s determination and the Form 12b-25 notification signal governance escalation and formal disclosure of material accounting errors. The company indicated the issues relate specifically to overstated inventory amounts across multiple reporting periods.

Stakeholders should look for subsequent filings that provide restated financial statements, auditor statements, and any disclosures about internal control weaknesses or remediation steps. Timing for completion remains governed by the ongoing procedures described in the filing.

As reported in Item 4.02 of its Current Report on Form 8‑K dated February 20, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Weis Markets, Inc. concluded that the Company's previously issued audited consolidated financial statements as of December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 and for the years ended December 28, 2024, December 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024 (the "2024 Annual Report"), and the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 29, 2025 (the "Q1 2025 Quarterly Report"), the quarter ended June 28, 2025 (the "Q2 2025 Quarterly Report") and the quarter ended September 27, 2025 (the "Q3 2025 Quarterly Report" and together with the Q1 2025 Quarterly Report, the Q2 2025 Quarterly Report, and the 2024 Annual Report, the "Reports" and all financial statements included in the Reports, collectively the "Affected Financials") should no longer be relied upon.

The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 52-week fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report") is delayed because the Company requires additional time to complete a review and analysis of the impact to, and associated restatement of, its historical financial statements related to the incorrect recording of certain overstated inventory amounts. The Company continues to work diligently to complete the remaining review and restatement procedures. The Company expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the 52‑week fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, including all required restated financial statements, no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date of February 25, 2026, or March 12, 2026; however, the timing of the filing may be subject to further delay, and the Company cannot provide assurance regarding the definitive filing date while this work remains in progress.

Persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

(2)		Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).
		Yes[ x ]      No[   ]

(3)		Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
		Yes[ x ]      No[   ]

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. The Company estimates that the incorrect recording of overstated inventory is up to $22 million as of the quarter ended September 27, 2025 which is an aggregation of an error that accumulated over multiple reporting periods. As of the quarter ended September 27, 2025, the aggregated estimate amount represents approximately 6.7% of Inventories within Current Assets and approximately 1.1% of Total Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These estimated adjustments are preliminary, and while the Company currently expects to report such estimated adjustments, there can be no assurance that the final adjustments made as part of any restatement will not differ materially from these estimates. The Company has not yet finalized the results of operations for the fiscal years included in the Affected Financials and is currently unable to provide further quantitative explanation of the anticipated change in its results of operations. As described above, the Company requires additional time to complete a review and analysis of the impact to, and associated restatement of, its historical financial statements related to the incorrect recording of certain overstated inventory amounts and to prepare the Company's financial statements for the 52-week fiscal year ended December 27, 2025.

The adjustment required to correct the overstated inventory amounts would not affect net sales. As a result, the Company has disclosed preliminary unaudited net sales results. Net sales and other revenue totaled $4.96 billion for the 52‑week fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, compared with $4.79 billion for the 52‑week fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, an increase of 3.5 percent. Fiscal year 2025 comparable store sales excluding fuel increased 2.1 percent on an individual year‑over‑year basis and increased 4.0 percent on a two‑year stacked basis. The Company will provide full financial results in its annual report on Form 10-K.

The company expects to file the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including restated financial statements, by March 12, 2026 (the fifteenth calendar day after the prescribed due date). The filing timing may be subject to further delay, per the company’s disclosure.

What financial periods are affected by the Weis Markets restatement?

The Audit Committee identified previously issued audited consolidated financial statements for years ended December 28, 2024, December 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, plus unaudited condensed consolidated statements for quarters ended March 29, 2025; June 28, 2025; and September 27, 2025, as statements that should no longer be relied upon.

Will Weis Markets disclose the cause of the accounting error?

Yes. The filing attributes the issue to the "incorrect recording of certain overstated inventory amounts" and says the company is completing review and restatement procedures. Additional details, auditor statements, and specific adjustments are expected to appear in the restated Form 10-K when filed.
