In a 52 week fiscal year, each of the Company’s quarterly periods will comprise 13 weeks. The additional week in a 53 week fiscal year is added to the fourth quarter, making such quarter consist of 14 weeks. The Company’s first 53 week fiscal year will occur in fiscal year 2024. The Company made the fiscal year change on a prospective basis and will not adjust operating results for prior periods. The change will impact the prior year comparability of each of the fiscal quarters and the annual period for the year ending December 29, 2023; however, the impact will not be material. The Company believes this change will improve comparability between periods by eliminating the year-over-year variability in calendar month productive days and provide a more consistent reporting cadence for operational leaders to aid in strategic decision making. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Due to this change in fiscal year, our fiscal year ended on December 29 in 2023 as compared to December 31 in 2022.
