  claim: UNIVERSAL LOGISTICS HOLDINGS, INC. reported that prior financial statements should not be relied upon.
  evidence_excerpt: Company’s previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended September 27, 2025 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 27, 2025 should no longer be relied upon. The determination relates to an error identified in connection with the Company’s evaluation of certain triggering events related to its intermodal reporting unit during the fourth quarter of 2025. Specifically, management determined that the carrying value of the intermodal reporting unit used in the Company’s goodwill impairment analysis during the quarter ended September 27, 2025 included approximately $46.7 million of deferred tax liabilities attributable to intercompany allocations that were not appropriate for inclusion in the reporting unit’s carrying value for purposes of the impairment analysis. The error did not arise from change
