WK Kellogg restates prior financials due to inventory error; material weakness
WK Kellogg Co
- Non-reliance on FY2024 audited and Q1-Q3 2024 and Q1 2025 financials; restatement due to ~$11M inventory understatement in FY2024 and cumulative ~$28M across reported periods.
- Material weakness in internal control over financial reporting; management concludes ICFR and disclosure controls not effective.
- Preliminary Q2 2025 Adjusted EBITDA $56-58M (updated for error), net sales reaffirmed $610-615M; full Q2 results due Aug 7.
- Board declares $0.165/share dividend payable Sept 12, 2025; merger with Ferrero (expected H2 2025) unaffected by error.
