Foreign Currency Risk We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This exposure results from revenues and profits denominated in foreign currencies being translated into U.S. dollars and from our legal entities entering into transactions denominated in a foreign currency other than their functional currency. We currently do not enter into financial instruments to manage this foreign currency translation risk. Interest Rate Risk We are exposed to interest rate risk through fluctuations in interest rates on our debt obligations. Our outstanding Term Loan Facilities bear interest at variable rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could increase the cost of servicing our debt and could materially reduce our profitability and cash flows. There has been no material change to this market risk exposure to interest rates from that which was previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 3, 2025. Commodity Price Risk We are exposed to changes in prices of commodities used in our operations, primarily associated with gasoline, diesel and natural gas fuel. We seek to manage exposure to adverse commodity price changes through our normal operations as well as, from time to time, entering into commodity derivative agreements. Elevated energy prices, including fuel and utility costs have had an impact, and could in the future materially impact our cost of operations given our route-based service model and processing facilities. In addition, these global macroeconomic conditions may impact our customer spending decisions. In response to recent increases in energy costs, we implemented an energy surcharge, starting in the second fiscal quarter of 2026, to help mitigate the impact on our operating results. 43 Table of Contents
