On November 27, 2024, before the market opened, Symbotic announced it would not be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Symbotic disclosed that on November 25, 2024, it had identified errors in its revenue recognition related to cost overruns that are not billable on certain deployments, which additionally impacted system revenue recognized in the first three quarters of fiscal year 2024. The total impact of the errors will lower system revenue, system gross profit, income (loss) before income tax, and adjusted EBITDA by $30 to $40 million for fiscal year 2024. Furthermore, Symbotic lowered its fiscal year 2025 revenue and EBITDA guidance by 3.0% and 51.7%, respectively. On this news, the price of Symbotic shares declined by $13.41 per share, or approximately 35.8%, from $37.41 per share on November 26, 2024, to close at $24.00 on November 27, 2024.
According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Symbotic improperly accelerated revenue recognition in its 2024 financial statements.
