History starts FY2020 (Aug), the period ended Aug 30, 2020 — the earliest period our structured-data source covers, not the company’s first year.
30 reported lines · 6 periods · values taken from the latest filing that prints each period.
- R1 restated by the filer — hover for the figure as first reported.
- italic3 from an earlier filing than the rest of the column.
- no longer reported3 lines the filer stopped printing.
- — the filer printed the line and left the period empty. An empty cell means the line was not printed at all; it is never a zero.
175 of 175 values link to the exact element in the filer’s own document.
Every line and every caption is the company’s own. Each period carries the value from the latest filing that prints it, which is why a restated period shows the restated number with the figure as first reported kept underneath.
Nothing on this table is computed by us: no fourth quarter, no growth rate, no margin. Marks describe the filer’s own restatements.
