Symbotic Inc., et al., No. 24-cv-12976, currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. More details can be found by visiting this link.
Case Background and Allegations
Symbotic Inc. specializes in developing automation systems tailored for warehouses and supply chain management for large retailers. The core of the legal complaint revolves around allegations that the company misrepresented its financial integrity and the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting.
Significantly, on November 27, 2024, Symbotic disclosed that it had postponed filing its Form 10-K for fiscal year 2024. The company cited inaccuracies in revenue reporting and identified serious weaknesses in its financial controls. Issues uncovered included premature expense recognition and unbillable cost overruns, leading to a reassessment of revenue across multiple quarters.
As a result of these revelations, Symbotic predicted a substantial reduction of $30-$40 million in system revenue, gross profit, and adjusted EBITDA for FY 2024. Additionally, it revised its revenue and EBITDA forecasts for Q1 of FY 2025, indicating a downward adjustment from prior expectations.
This announcement had an immediate adverse impact on Symbotic’s stock price, which plummeted by over 35% during trading on the day of the announcement.
