Upon detecting the unauthorized occurrences, we immediately began taking steps to contain, assess and remediate the cybersecurity incident, including beginning an investigation with leading external cybersecurity specialists, activating our incident response plan, and shutting down some systems.

After we shut down some of our systems, we experienced disruption to certain of our operations, including interrupted manufacturing at our domestic plants and delayed order fulfillment for our retail network and delay of some wholesale shipments.

Within a few days of the incident, we were able to resume retail order fulfillment and caught up on fulfilling wholesale orders that were delayed as a result of the cybersecurity incident.
Removed
We have fully restored the IT systems and data and our investigation has not found evidence that any of our core operating systems for manufacturing, wholesale and retail order processing and fulfillment, or financial reporting were impacted.

While we believe the impacts were not material to our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal year, we estimate that between $1,000 and $2,000 of sales were lost due to the shutdown during the cybersecurity incident.
Removed
During the third quarter of 2024, we also incurred legal and remediation costs related to the incident of approximately $98 which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, cost of goods sold for year ended November 30, 2024 includes $609 for wages paid to hourly production employees during the work stoppage resulting from the cybersecurity incident.
Removed
Because no inventory was produced during the temporary shutdown of our manufacturing operations, these wages were charged directly to expense. We are seeking reimbursement of certain costs, expenses and losses stemming from the cybersecurity incident and have submitted a claim to our cybersecurity insurer. We expect final resolution and payment of the claim during the first half of 2025.
