SUNBURY, Pa., Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Weis Markets, Inc. (NYSE: WMK) (the "Company") today announced that it will delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 52-week fiscal year ended December 27, 2025. The filing is delayed because the Company requires additional time to complete a review and analysis of the impact to, and associated restatement of, its historical financial statements related to the incorrect recording of certain overstated inventory amounts. The Company continues to work diligently to complete the remaining review and restatement procedures. The Company expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 52-week fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, including all required restated financial statements, no later than March 12, 2026; however, the timing of the filing may be subject to further delay, and the Company cannot provide assurance regarding the definitive filing date while this work remains in progress.
At this time, the Company estimates that the incorrect recording of overstated inventory is up to $22 million as of the quarter ended September 27, 2025 which is an aggregation of an error that accumulated over multiple reporting periods. As of the quarter ended September 27, 2025, the aggregated estimate amount represents approximately 6.7% of Inventories within Current Assets and approximately 1.1% of Total Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These estimated adjustments are preliminary, and while the Company currently expects to report such estimated adjustments, there can be no assurance that the final adjustments made as part of any restatement will not differ materially from these estimates.
In the interest of providing shareholders with relevant and timely information, the Company is disclosing certain preliminary unaudited net sales results. Net sales and other revenue totaled $4.96 billion for the 52-week fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, compared with $4.79 billion for the 52-week fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, an increase of 3.5 percent. Fiscal year 2025 comparable store sales excluding fuel increased 2.1 percent on an individual year-over-year basis and increased 4.0 percent on a two-year stacked basis.
