Risk factors

Our operating results have been harmed, and may continue to be harmed, if we are unable to effectively manage and sustain our future growth or scale our operations.
We experienced a decline in sales, and thus profitability, beginning the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023. The current declines in our revenue and operating margins means our revenue and margin growth may be less than expected. In addition, historically, we have primarily relied on cash generat…
If we are unable to streamline our operations effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Some of our locations have not achieved the growth and profitability we anticipated, and, from time to time, we may determine to close certain locations based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, geographic proximity to other stores, operating cost increases, labor costs, profitab…
In addition, we expect to incur costs associated with the closure of underperforming locations, including charges for the impairment of long-lived assets and inventory write-offs. These costs may turn out to be greater than we expect and may adversely impact our financial condition.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
