We face significant risks and difficulties as a growing company. We have a limited operating history upon which to evaluate the viability and sustainability of our technology and processes, which increases the risk to your investment. In addition, we have an accumulated deficit of $1.3 billion as of September 28,27, 20242025 and have incurred recurring net losses since inception, including net losses of $84.7$91.0 million and $207.9$84.7 million, respectively, for the years ended September 28,27, 20242025 and September 30,28, 2023.2024.

Our investments in our System, technologysystems and services,services may not be successful on the timeline we anticipate oror, at allall, and may not result in increased revenue growth. Additionally, we have encountered, and may in the future encounter, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, such as unforeseen operating expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other known or unknown factors that may result in losses in future periods. If our revenue growth does not meet our expectations in future periods, or we are unable to maintain or increase our revenue at a rate sufficient to offset the expected increase in our costs, our business, financial position and results of operations will be harmed, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability over the long term.

Walmart, our largest customer, accounted for approximately 87%85% of our total revenue in the fiscal year ended September 28,27, 20242025 and for a significant portionmajority of our $22.4$22.5 billion backlog as of September 28,27, 2024.2025. We have worked with Walmart since 2015 and entered into a Master Automation Agreement with Walmart in 2017 to implement our Systemsystems in 25 of Walmart’s 42 regional distribution centers. We amended and restated theour Master Automation Agreement onwith MayWalmart 20,in 2022 (“2022 Walmart MAA”) to implement our SystemSystems in all of Walmart’s 42 regional distribution centers, adding approximately an additional $6.1 billion to our backlog.backlog at that time. Pursuant to the 2022 Walmart MAA, we have agreed to certain restrictions on our ability to sell or license our products and services to a specified company or its subsidiaries, affiliates or dedicated service providers. Walmart also has certain board observation rights. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we entered into a commercial agreement with Walmart de México y Centroamérica to implement our System in two of their locations near Mexico City.

Added

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we entered into a commercial agreement with Nueva Wal Mart de México, S. de R.L. de C.V to implement our systems in two of their locations near Mexico City. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we entered into a Master Automation Agreement (“2025 Walmart MAA”) with Walmart for the development, manufacture, and installation of 400 micro-fulfillment systems if we satisfy certain performance metrics.

Reworded

Our ability to maintain a close, mutually beneficial relationship with Walmart is an important element in our continued growth. The loss or cancellation of business from Walmart, including our failure to properly implement or optimize our Systemsystems in Walmart’s distribution centers,warehouses, or our failure to comply with the terms of the 2022 Walmart MAA or 2025 Walmart MAA, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, if Walmart is not able to grow its business or its business declines, including as a result of a reduction in the level of discretionary spending by its customers or competition from other retailers, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Reworded

We have several larger customers, AFS,UNFI, GreenBoxGreenBox, Southern Glazers and C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. (“C&S Wholesale Grocers”), with which we are affiliated, and UNFI.Albertsons. Net sales to these customers accounted for approximately 11%13% of our total revenue in the fiscal year ended September 28,27, 2024.2025. It is not possible for us to predict the level of demand that will be generated by any of these customers in the future. In addition, revenue from these larger customers may fluctuate from time to time based on these customers’their business needs and customer experience, the timing of which may be affected by market conditions or other factors outside of our control. To the extent that one or more customers in this group decide not to further implement our System in their distribution centerssystems or decide to retain manual solutions or adopt single point automated solutions for their distribution centers,solutions, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Reworded

Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Richard B. Cohen, also serves as the Executive Chairman of C&S Wholesale Grocers. Additionally, Mr. Cohen and trusts for the benefit of his family are the onlysubstantial beneficialmajority stockholders of C&S Wholesale Grocers. As a result, C&S Wholesale Grocers can be considered an affiliate of ours.

C&S Wholesale Grocers is also an important customer that has our Systemssystems that are Operational (defined as achieving acceptance) in its facilities. We provide ongoing Software Maintenance and Support and Operation Services under our contracts with C&S through SeptemberOctober 2029. Despite our affiliation with C&S Wholesale Grocers, there is no guarantee that it will continue to be a customer beyond the term of its current contracts with us in SeptemberOctober 2029. To the extent C&S Wholesale Grocers decides not to renew its contracts with us or to implement additional Systems in their distribution centers,systems, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

The GreenBox joint venture and related commercial agreement are expected to be material to our financial condition and results of operations. Our backlog includes $11.6 billion associated with GreenBox and any delays in implementation could adversely affect the business and when anticipated benefits are realized. We may be unable to obtain the benefits, avoid the difficulties and risks of the joint venture, or it may take us longer than expected to fully realize the anticipated benefits and synergies of the GreenBox joint venture. Those benefits and synergies may ultimately be smaller than anticipated or may not be realized at all, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations The GreenBox joint venture may also require us to issue additional equity securities, spend our cash, or incur debt (and increased interest expense), liabilities and amortization expenses related to intangible assets, which could adversely affect our results of operations and dilute the economic and voting rights of our stockholders. In addition, we cannot assure you that the GreenBox joint venture will lead to the successful development of new or enhanced products and services or that any new or enhanced products and services, if developed, will achieve market acceptance or prove to be profitable.

Reworded

Our operating results and financial condition fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year and are likely to continue to vary due to a number of factors, many of which will not be within our control. Both our business and supply chain automation product portfolio are changing and evolving rapidly, and our historical operating results may not be useful in predicting our future operating results. If our operating results do not meet the guidance that we provide to the marketplace or the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the market price of our Class A common stock will likely decline. Fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition may be due to a number of factors, including:

Complex technology will need to be developed,developed and implemented, both in-house and in coordination with our vendors and suppliers, for us to successfully produce and integrate our Systemsystems with our customers’ existing warehouses, and there can be no assurance that they will be successfully developed.developed and implemented.

Reworded

Our Systemsystems requiresrequire a substantial amount of third-party and proprietary in-house software and complex hardware to be installed and operated in our customers’ warehouses. The development of such advanced technologies is inherently complex and costly, and we will need to coordinate with our vendors and suppliers to produce and integrate our Systemsystems with our customers’ infrastructure. In the future, one or more of our third-party software or hardware providers may choose not to support the operation of their software, software services and infrastructure with our System,systems, or our Systemsystems may not support the capabilities needed to operate with such software, software services and infrastructure.

Reworded

Defects and errors may be revealed over time (and may not even be known until after our Systemsystems hashave been deployed to our customers) and our control over the performance of third-party services and systems may be limited. We may be unable to develop the necessary technology or meet the technological requirements and production timing to support our business plan. In addition, our System may not comply with the cost, performance useful life and warranty requirements we anticipate in our business plan. As a result, our business plan could be significantly impacted and we may incur significant liabilities under warranty claims, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Added

In addition, our systems may not comply with the cost, performance useful life and warranty requirements we anticipate in our business plan. Our warranty exposure could be exacerbated by the performance of third-party components or integration with customer infrastructure, and we may not always be able to recover related costs from our vendors or suppliers. Warranty obligations may exceed the reserves we have established, requiring us to incur additional unexpected costs. As a result, our business plan could be significantly impacted and we may incur significant liabilities under warranty claims, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Added

We are required to assess our internal control over financial reporting and our management has identified a material weakness. If our remediation of the material weakness is not effective, or we identify additional material weaknesses or other adverse findings in the future, our ability to report our financial condition or results of operations accurately or timely or prevent fraud may be adversely affected, which may result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports, significant expenses to remediate any internal control deficiencies, and ultimately have an adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock.

Added

Our management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 27, 2025. Based upon this evaluation and those criteria, management concluded that, as of September 27, 2025, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the identification of a material weakness. As of September 27, 2025, the Company did not effectively design procedures and controls over the timing of the recognition of cost of revenue. This resulted in timing discrepancies on the recognition of cost of revenue. Given that we recognize revenue on a percentage of completion basis, this also resulted in timing discrepancies on the recognition of revenue. This deficiency in internal control over financial reporting constituted a material weakness. For further discussion of this material weakness, see Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Removed

Our success depends on the continuing services of key employees. We believe the depth and quality of the experience of our management team with the retail supply chain, distribution logistics, automation and robotics technology is key to our ability to be successful. The loss of these individuals could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Removed

Changes in laws and regulations related to employees, independent contractors, and temporary personnel may also lead to increased costs, reduced operational flexibility, and adversely affect our ability to staff our operations and manage workforce needs.

The markets in which we participate are competitive. Many companies, including large retail and e-commerce companies, companies that offer point solutions or other comprehensive or specific supply chain functionalities and other companies that focus on automated technologies, may target the markets in which we do business. Additionally, our customers and potential customers may develop in-house solutions that compete with our systems. If we are unable to compete effectively, our sales and profitability could be adversely affected.

Added

We provide systems that offer a comprehensive supply chain automation solution. Accordingly, we compete with a number of companies that offer solutions to the retail distribution market, including companies that offer (i) comprehensive solutions, which are comprised of a disparate set of point solutions such as Witron, Knapp AG, Honeywell, Dematic, Vanderlande, SSI Schaefer and Swisslog; and (ii) solutions that focus exclusively on micro-fulfillment, such as Exotec, Ocado, AutoStore, Geek+, Hai Robotics and Knapp AG. Although we believe that our systems are significantly differentiated, the markets in which we participate may become more competitive in the future.

Our customers may also internally develop their own automated solutions for their warehouses. Our market may need further education on the value of automated supply chain solutions and our systems and on how to integrate them into current operations. A lack of understanding as to how our systems operate may cause potential customers to prefer more traditional technologies, limited point solutions or internally developed automated processes or to be cautious about investing in our systems. If we are unable to educate potential customers and change the market’s readiness to accept our technology, then our business, results of operations and financial condition may be harmed.

Our vision is to make the supply chain work better for everyone. We do this by developing, commercializing, and deploying innovative,innovative and comprehensive technology solutions that dramatically improve supply chain operations. We currently automate the processing of palletspallets, cases and casesitems (known as eaches) in large warehouses or distribution centers for some of the largest retail companies in the world. Our System enhances operations at the front end of the supply chain, and therefore benefit all supply partners further down the chain, irrespective of fulfillment strategy.warehouses.

Added

Our robotic based automation systems, which include hardware and essential software, move, store and sort cases and eaches in warehouses. Our systems are operational in a number of the world’s largest retailers, including Walmart, wholesale distributors, including C&S Wholesale Grocers, and are being deployed in GreenBox Systems LLC (“GreenBox”), our warehouse-as-a-service joint venture. We have spent significant time working closely with our customers to develop, test and refine our technology. We have approximately $22.5 billion of backlog as of September 27, 2025, of which our agreements with Walmart and GreenBox comprise the vast majority.

Added

We have devoted significant funds and resources to date in developing and diversifying our systems and related applications. Our systems are designed to increase efficiency, speed and flexibility of the supply chain by using proprietary robotics and A.I.-powered software for the movement and storage of goods. Our intellectual property is protected by a portfolio of approximately 1,100 issued and/or pending patents.

Added

We believe that the global supply chain has reached a point of critical stress, driving an inflection in demand for intelligent and scalable automation. As consumer buying habits change, the labor market shifts, and cost of living wages increase, the demand on warehouse workers is becoming overly burdensome. Manual operations are becoming unsustainable and older automation systems are not capable of optimally satisfying modern operational needs. The dramatic growth in e-commerce has increased supply chain complexity by putting pressure on retailers to support multiple sales channels and orders of eaches in addition to cases and pallets. Meanwhile, consumer expectations have evolved to demand a larger variety of items to be delivered quickly and seamlessly. This has placed significant strain on the traditional supply chain and the people who support it. We help our customers thrive in this increasingly challenging environment.

Added

In January 2025, we acquired the Advanced Systems and Robotics (“ASR”) business from Walmart and signed a Master Automation Agreement that provides for the development, manufacture and installation of automated systems for online pickup and delivery at Walmart retail stores (“2025 Walmart MAA”). This acquisition added a new product category for us to address the opportunity for automated fulfillment of customer orders at the local and store level, which supports the growth of e-commerce. Under the 2025 Walmart MAA, as of September 27, 2025, we are operating several micro-fulfillment systems, which we will continue to support. We are in the process of developing an advanced micro-fulfillment system for future deployments.

It utilizes fully autonomous robots, collectively controlled by our artificial intelligence (“A.I.”) enabled system software to achieve at scale, real world supply chain improvements that are so compelling that we believe our approach can become the de facto standard approach for how warehouses operate.

Revenue

Reworded

We generate revenue through our design and installation of supply chain automation systems to automate customers’ depalletizing, storage, selection, and palletization warehousing processes.processes (“System”). The Systems have both a hardware component and an essential software component that enables the Systems to be programmed to operate within specific customer environments. We enter into contracts with customers that can include various combinations of services to design and install the Systems. These services are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. As a result, each customer contract may contain multiple performance obligations. We determine whether performance obligations are distinct based on whether the customer can benefit from the productgood or service on its own or together with other resources that are readily available and whether our commitment to provide the goods or services to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.

Reworded

Systems: We design, assemble, and install Systems and perform configuration of essential software. Systems include the delivery of hardware and an essential software component, sold as either a perpetual or term-based on-premise license, that automate our customers’ depalletizing, storage, selection, and palletization warehousing processes. The hardware and essential software are each not capable of being distinct because our customers cannot benefit from the hardware or software on their own. Accordingly, they are treated as a single performance obligation. Fees for Systems are typically either fixed or cost-plus fixed fee amountsamounts, fixed, or in certain cases, subject to a capped cost amount that are due based on the achievement of a variety of milestones beginning at contract inception through final acceptance. The substantial majority of our software is sold as a perpetual on-premise license, however, we do sell an immaterial amount of term-based on-premise licenses.

Reworded

The key metrics which describe our SystemSystems from commencement to completion are as follows: (1) “Start” is defined as when we sign a Statement of Work (“SOW”) with a customer; (2) “Deployment” is defined as the period of time following the signed SOW until the acceptance of the System; and (3) “Operational” is defined as achieving acceptance of a System. The majority of Systems revenue occurs during Deployment, and once a System reachesis acceptance,Operational, software maintenance and support begins.

Reworded

Software Maintenance and Support: “Software Maintenance and Support” is defined as support services that provide our customers with technical support, updates, and upgrades to the software license. Fees for Software Maintenance and Support are typically payable in advance on a quarterly, or annual basis over the term of the Software Maintenance and Support contract, which term can range from one to 15 yearsyears, but,but for a substantial majority of our Software Maintenance and Support contracts,contracts is 15 years.

Reworded

Operation Services: “Operation Services” is defined as assistance services, which can range from training services to managed services to on-site services we provide our customers operating the System and ensuring user experience is optimized for efficiency and effectiveness. Fees for Operation Services are typically invoiced to our customers on a time and materials basis monthly in arrears or using a fixed fee structure. Also included in Operation Services is revenue generated from the sales of spare parts to our customers as needed to service their System.

Reworded

Operation Services: Operation Services cost of revenue consists primarily of labor cost for our operations team who is providing assistance services to our customers to run their System within their warehouse.customers. Operation Services cost of revenue also includes the cost of spare parts sold to our customers as needed to service their System. Operation Services cost of revenue is expensed as incurred.

Revenue

Added

Systems revenue increased for the year ended September 27, 2025, as compared to the year ended September 28, 2024, due to there being 50 Systems in Deployment for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2025, as compared to 44 Systems in Deployment for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024. The increase in Systems revenue was also attributable to the additional revenue generated from the 2025 Walmart MAA for ASR.

Systems revenue increased for the year ended September 28, 2024, as compared to the year ended September 30, 2023, due to 44 Systems in Deployment for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, as compared to 35 Systems in Deployment for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The increase in Deployments is primarily due to the continued build out of our Systems included in the Walmart Master Automation Agreement. Pursuant to the Master Automation Agreement, we are installing and implementing our System within all of Walmart’s 42 regional distribution centers. We expect the Master Automation Agreement to continue to generate Systems revenue as we install and implement the Systems at the remaining regional distribution centers through fiscal year 2029.

Reworded

The increase in Software Maintenance and Support revenue is due to 48 Operational Systems which were under Software Maintenance and Support contracts for the year ended September 27, 2025, as compared to 25 Operational Systems which arewere under Software Maintenance and Support contracts for the year ended September 28, 2024, as compared to 12 Operational Systems which are under Software Maintenance and Support contracts for the year ended September 30, 2023.2024.

The decreaseincrease in research and development expenses for the year ended September 28,27, 2024,2025, as compared to the year ended September 30,28, 2023,2024, is due to the following:

Added

The primary driver for the increase in employee-related costs for the year ended September 27, 2025, as compared to the year ended September 28, 2024, was from an increase in engineering resources assigned to customer projects, which was primarily related to the 2025 Walmart MAA. There was also an increase in the cost for contractors and consultants for the year ended September 27, 2025, as compared to the year ended September 28, 2024, which we use to support our growth.

Removed

Employee-related costs decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and expense incurred for contractors. As we apply the graded-vesting method of expense recognition to all stock-based compensation awards with service-only conditions, lower expense was incurred during the year ended September 28, 2024, as compared to the year ended September 30, 2023, due to the expense recognized during the year ended September 30, 2023 for the issuance of restricted stock to our employees following the Business Combination. Additionally, we experienced a decrease in the expense related to contractors as a result of a combination of hiring full time employees and outsourcing certain business activities to third parties. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in payroll related costs as we continue to grow our software and hardware engineering organizations to support the development of key projects and to support the continued expansion of our A.I. and analytics capabilities.

Added

Employee-related costs increased in the year ended September 27, 2025, as compared to the year ended September 28, 2024, primarily as a result of our full-time employee and contractor headcount growth within our selling, general, and administrative functions. We increased our headcount primarily to support our rapid acceleration of System Deployments and business transformation. We incurred incremental costs related to building both shorter-term as well as permanent processes and infrastructure to ramp partnerships and operations.

Added

Allocated overhead and other expenses increased in the year ended September 27, 2025, as compared to the year ended September 28, 2024, primarily due to an increase in information technology related costs to support growth within our employee base and infrastructure, as well as an increase in audit, tax, and legal expenses, primarily attributable to increased professional services fees related to strategic acquisitions and our internal controls remediation.

Restructuring Charges

Added

We incurred $22.9 million of restructuring charges for the year ended September 27, 2025 resulting from severance and other benefits expense primarily related to the reduction of workforce across all areas of the employees that joined the Company’s workforce in connection with the acquisition of ASR. A portion of these charges were reimbursed by Walmart in connection with the acquisition of ASR.

•Restructuring charges – Restructuring charges are costs associated with restructuring plans and are primarily related to employee severance and benefit arrangements, lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to inventory and long-lived assets that will no longer be used in operations, and termination fees for any contracts cancelled as part of the restructuring plan. The restructuring charges in fiscal year 2025 represent those charges incurred related to a reduction of our workforce across all areas of the employees that joined our workforce in connection with the ASR Acquisition. The restructuring charges in fiscal year 2026 represent those charges incurred related to a reduction of our workforce across the organization to align resource investment to business needs. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating our continuing business performance as such items vary significantly based on the magnitude of the restructuring action and do not reflect future expected operating expenses. In addition, these charges do not necessarily provide meaningful insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business.

•Internal control remediation – Internal control remediation costs represent professional services fees related to the Company’sour efforts to remediate internal control material weaknesses. We excluded these fees from our non-GAAP financial measures to provide a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies because such amounts are not representative of our normal operating activities.

Our net cash provided by operating activities consists of net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, foreign currency gains and losses, loss on disposal of assets, provision for excess and obsolete inventory, and stock-based compensation, as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities. The primary changes in working capital items, such as the changes in accounts receivable and deferred revenue, result from the difference in timing of payments from our customers related to System Deployments and the associated costs incurred by us to fulfill the System performance obligation. This may result in an operating cash flow source or use for the period, depending on the timing of payments received as compared to the fulfillment of the System performance obligation.

Reworded

Net cash provided by operating activities was $452.9$305.6 million during the sixnine months ended MarchJune 28,27, 2026.

Additionally, we received proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our ESPP of $3.9 million. These proceeds were offset by $1.2 million in distributions to or on behalf of Symbotic Holdings partners to fund all or part of their obligations with respect to the taxable income of Symbotic Holdings that is allocated to them. No other significant financing activities occurred during the sixnine months ended MarchJune 28,27, 2026.

Our cash flows from operations along with equity infusions have historically been sufficient to fund our operating activities and other cash requirements. At MarchJune 28,27, 2026, we had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $2,009.4$1,746.4 million. Our cash requirements for the three and sixnine months ended MarchJune 28,27, 2026 were primarily related to inventory purchases in order to deliver our Systems to our customers in an orderly manner in line with our installation timeline, and acquisitions of strategic investments to expand our investment profile.

Reworded

Based on our present business plan, we expect our current cash and cash equivalents, working capital, and our forecasted cash flows from operations to be sufficient to meet our foreseeable cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our foreseeable cash needs, in addition to our recurring operating expenses, include our expected capital expenditures to support expansion of our infrastructure and workforce, potential strategic acquisitions, capital calls that may arise from time to time from Exol, and minimum contractual obligations. Contractual obligations are cash that we are obligated to pay as part of certain contracts that we have entered into during our course of business. Our contractual obligations consist of operating lease liabilities that are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and vendor commitments associated with agreements that are legally binding. Our operating lease cash requirements have not changed materially since September 27, 2025, and are disclosed within Note 5, Leases, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other than the change in accounting principle disclosed below, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the sixnine months ended MarchJune 28,27, 2026, as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended September 27, 2025, which are included within the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 24, 2025.

Reworded

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we changed our stock-based compensation policy for recognizing expense for graded vesting awards with only service conditions from the accelerated attribution method to the straight-line attribution method. In connection with the Business Combination in June 2022, we granted RSUs with accelerated vesting terms. As those initial RSU awards with accelerated vesting terms have fully vested since the Business Combination, we believe the straight-line attribution method for stock-based compensation expense for awards solely subject to time-based vesting conditions is the preferable accounting policy in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation,718 because it more accurately reflects how our ongoing equity awards are earned over the service period and is the predominant method used in itsour industry. With the transition from the accelerated attribution method to the straight-line attribution method, we no longer consider stock-based compensation related to our service-based RSUs to be a critical accounting policy.

Reworded

As of MarchJune 28,27, 2026, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Instruction 8 to Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K.
