Fiscal period ending 2025-12-27 versus 2024-12-28
— view filing on EDGAR →
The auto OEM segment has crossed from prospective risk to realized, demonstrable unprofitability, while supply chain, trade/regulatory, and cybersecurity exposures all escalated concurrently. Regulatory risk is the broadest front of deterioration — trade restrictions now explicitly name Taiwan and China sourcing, third-party compliance failures create direct company liability, and operational impacts have been concretized. A 23% decline in unappropriated capital contribution reserves materially constrains dividend capacity, adding a capital-structure dimension to an otherwise operationally-driven risk deterioration; the sole offset is a narrow CFC tax-law easing.
