Fiscal period ending 2025-09-30 versus 2024-09-30
— view filing on EDGAR →
A broad-based worsening of operational and execution risk dominates this filing, compounded by a significant workforce reduction of ~15% and newly disclosed capital-markets financing risk. The operations/supply-chain category saw the most substantive expansion, adding project cancellations, execution difficulties, AI competitive lag, accelerated cash-outflow scenarios, and a new pension risk section — collectively signaling a more fragile operating posture. The workforce rightsizing to ~20,000 by end of fiscal 2026 introduces near-term execution and retention risk on top of restructuring costs.
