Explanatory Note
On August 2, 2023, Traeger, Inc. (the “Company”) furnished a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Filing”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that furnished under Items 2.02 and 9.01 the Company’s press release announcing its unaudited financial results as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (the “Original Press Release”). The full text of the Original Press Release was furnished as Exhibit 99.1, as incorporated by reference into, the Original Filing.
The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment No. 1”) is to reflect adjustments to certain financial information set forth in the Original Press Release that were made by the Company while finalizing its unaudited financial statements for inclusion in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2023 (the “2023 Q2 10-Q”) following the conclusion of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”) as described further in Item 4.02 of this Amendment No 1. This Amendment No. 1 amends and replaces in its entirety the Original Filing.
Item 2.02.     Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On August 7, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing updated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. A copy of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information contained in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 hereto) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 4.02.     Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
On August 7, 2023, the Audit Committee, after considering the recommendations of management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the interim period ended March 31, 2023 (the “Q1 2023 Financial Statements”), included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “2023 Q1 10-Q”) filed with SEC on May 10, 2023, should no longer be relied upon. Similarly, any previously furnished or filed reports, related earnings releases, investor presentations or similar communications of the Company describing the Q1 2023 Financial Statements should no longer be relied upon.
The determination resulted from the Company’s incorrect accounting treatment under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging of cumulative unrealized gains recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) upon the cash flow hedge dedesignation of its interest rate swaps within the Q1 2023 financial statements. In connection with this determination, the Company has concluded that because the controls to evaluate the accounting and disclosure of complex financial instruments, such as for derivatives, did not operate effectively and resulted in the failure to detect the misstatement, the deficiencies are a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Further details regarding the material weakness and the steps taken to remediate it will be included in the Form 10-Q/A.
The Company's management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters described herein with Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
A summary of the impact on the Q1 2023 Financial Statements is below.
