Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 27, 2025.

Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 28, 2024 because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below.

Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 27, 2025 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

2 unchanged sentences

In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the material weaknesses described herein existed as of September 28, 2024.

As a result, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 28, 2024 based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis.

We identified the following material weaknesses as of September 28, 2024:

As previously reported, we identified material weaknesses in the control environment at one of our divisions due to this division maintaining an inappropriate tone at the top.

Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 27, 2025 based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 27, 2025, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears under Item 8.

As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, our management identified material weaknesses in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024.

The material weaknesses we previously reported were as follows:

• We identified material weaknesses in the control environment at one of our divisions due to this division maintaining an inappropriate tone at the top.

Specifically, division management did not sufficiently promote, monitor or enforce appropriate accounting policies and procedures, thereby resulting in inappropriate and unsupported adjustments to the quarterly contract cost estimate process.

1 unchanged sentence

These material weaknesses contributed to an additional material weakness that the division did not design and maintain effective controls over the quarterly contract estimate review process, which lead to the failure to timely and appropriately record adjustments to quarterly estimates.

These material weaknesses resulted in the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended October 3, 2020, October 2, 2021 and October 1, 2022 and for the quarterly fiscal periods included in such fiscal years and for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022.

These material weaknesses also resulted in immaterial misstatements of our consolidated financial statements for the quarterly fiscal periods as of and for the periods ended April 1, 2023, July 1, 2023, September 30, 2023, June 29, 2024 and September 28, 2024.

Additionally, each of these material weaknesses could result in misstatements of the accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

In connection with our financial reporting process for the fiscal year ending September 28, 2024, we identified an additional material weakness as the Company did not design and maintain effective controls to properly support and account for the transfer of control to its customers of certain raw materials inventory.

This material weakness resulted in adjustments and immaterial misstatements to inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of September 28, 2024 and September 30,

2023, respectively.

Additionally, this material weakness could result in misstatements of the aforementioned accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 28, 2024, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears under Item 8.

Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weaknesses

Management plans to remediate the material weaknesses described above primarily by ensuring that relevant program management and finance personnel possess sufficient knowledge and experience and are sufficiently engaged to identify, escalate and drive closure of matters that could impact estimated long-term customer program costs and/or require the recording of additional expenses in the Company’s financial statements.

To date, management undertook the following remedial actions in conjunction with the above plan:

• Removed internal control over financial reporting responsibilities and representation from designated individuals and added new individuals for these responsibilities and representations.

• Conducted training sessions for all employees involved in the estimate at completion (“EAC”) process on ethics, reporting and fraud, as well as the importance of EACs to financial reporting.

• Implemented a certification process whereby a select group of employees with key roles in the EAC and financial reporting processes are required to make certain representations about the completeness and accuracy of EACs, as well as a representation that they are not aware of any improprieties in the accounting or control functions.

• Realigned reporting lines whereby program financial analysts report directly to the finance organization.

• Hired a President to lead the division and added several new employees to the finance department of the division.

• Engaged third-party consultants with extensive Aerospace and Defense experience and expertise to perform a comprehensive review of the division’s accounting and reporting functions, including performing an evaluation of the division’s policies and procedures.

These actions represent significant progress in addressing the material weaknesses.

We plan to fully implement and operate the redesigned processes and procedures in the upcoming fiscal year and to begin testing the enhanced controls starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

The material weaknesses will not be considered formally remediated until these controls have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively.

Remediation Plan for the Material Weakness Identified in Fiscal 2024

Management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee, intends to remediate the material weakness described above primarily by (i) updating the relevant accounting policy and procedures to be more prescriptive, (ii) enhancing the review processes applicable to evaluating whether the transfer of control of inventories has occurred or whether payments received from customers should be reported as a liability, (iii) establishing controls over the preparation and review of customer level inventory reconciliations, and (iv) training of sales, operations and finance personnel responsible for administering and accounting for customer-purchased inventory arrangements.

• We identified an additional material weakness as the Company did not design and maintain effective controls to properly support and account for the transfer of control to its customers of certain raw materials inventory.

Management has concluded that these material weaknesses have been remediated as of the end of fiscal 2025.

The applicable controls have been in place and operated for a sufficient period of time and management concluded, through testing, that these controls were operating effectively.
