Current report

The following risk factor updates and replaces in its entirety the risk factor titled “We have incurred, and we will continue to incur, additional fees, costs and expenses to create and maintain the corporate infrastructure to operate as a public company, and we have and we will continue to experience increased ongoing costs and expenses in connection with being a public company”included in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Annual Report, as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Current report

We have incurred, and we will continue to incur, additional fees, costs and expenses to create and maintain the corporate infrastructure to operate as a public company, and we have and we will continue to experience increased ongoing costs and expenses in connection with being a public company.

Current report

Prior to our IPO, our business had historically used some of Post’s corporate infrastructure and services to support our business functions. The expenses related to establishing and maintaining this infrastructure had been spread across all of Post’s businesses and charged to us on a cost-allocation basis. The services historically provided to us by Post included, but were not limited to, finance, information technology, legal, human resources, quality, supply chain and purchasing functions. Following our IPO, we continued to receive some of these services pursuant to a master services agreement with Post, and in connection with the Spin-off, we, Post, BellRing Intermediate Holdings, Inc. and BellRing Brands, LLC entered into an amended and restated master services agreement, which was further amended in fiscal 2023. Under the amended and restated master services agreement, Post provided certain of the above described services until the amended and restated master services agreement expired on March 10, 2026. There can be no assurance that all of the functions provided to us by Post under the amended and restated master services agreement were successfully executed by Post during the term of the amended and restated master services agreement or that the transition from Post to us of all of the functions provided to us by Post under the amended and restated master services agreement were successfully executed. Specifically, effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. If we fail to properly and efficiently maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we could fail to report our financial results accurately.
