Dear Wajid Ali:
We have limited our review of your filing to the financial statements and related

Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the requested

After reviewing your response to this letter, we may have additional comments.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Income Taxes, page 47
1.We note the release of your income tax valuation allowance related to UK deferred
tax assets resulted in you recording an income tax benefit of $153.1 million in the
fiscal year ended June 28, 2025. Please explain to us, and expand your disclosures in
future filings to more fully address, the specific positive and negative evidence you
considered in determining it was more-likely-than-not UK deferred tax assets are
realizable, how that evidence was weighed, and how that evidence led you to
determine it was appropriate to reverse a portion of your income tax valuation
allowance in the current fiscal year. Refer to Item 303(b)(3) of Regulation S-K and
ASC 740-10-30-16 through 30-25.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page 65
2.Please explain to us where the reversal of the income tax valuation allowance is
presented in your statement of cash flows for the year ended June 28, 2025. To the
extent it is included in income taxes, net (i.e., within changes in operating assets and
liabilities), revise future filings to disaggregate and separately present the reversal of
the income tax valuation allowance as a non-cash adjustment to reconcile net income
(loss) to net cash provided by operating activities. Otherwise, tell us why the current
presentation is appropriate, refer to ASC 230-10-45-28.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 17. Operating Segments and Geographic Information, page 116
3.We note your segment disclosures state you do not track all your property, plant, and
equipment, by segment. Please tell us, and revise future filings to clarify, whether any
asset information by segment is reviewed by or provided to your CODM. If asset
information by segment is not provided to your CODM, clarify that fact and explain
the reason why as required by ASC 280-10-50-26. Specifically address why property,
plant, and equipment, is not tracked by segment, and clarify that this is the reason why
depreciation expense by segment has not been disclosed as required by ASC 280-10-
50-22(e).
4.We note references to various products/product lines for each reportable segment
under Item 1. Business (see page 2) and within your Earnings Calls. Please revise
future filings to provide revenue for each product and service or each group of similar
products and services, as required by ASC 280-10-50-40. We note entity-wide
disclosures are required even if that information is not used by the CODM. If
providing this information is impracticable, that fact should be disclosed.
Form 8-K filed August 12, 2025
Exhibit 99.1
5.Your disclosures under "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" indicate non-GAAP
financial information provides additional insight into your on-going business
operations and results, as well as cash generation, and indicate the information allows
investors to understand and evaluate cash flows. We note you previously removed
references to cash generation and cash flows from earnings release disclosures since
your non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures not liquidity measures.
In this regard, please revise your disclosures in future filings as appropriate and to be
consistent with your response to comment 8 in your response letter dated March 15,
2024, or advise us of any subsequent changes since that response.
