Securities Class Action Against Symbotic Inc. (SYM):
The lawsuit alleges that Symbotic repeatedly assured investors of the integrity of its financial reporting while concealing improper revenue recognition practices. Specifically, the complaint accuses Symbotic of inflating its financial performance by accelerating revenue recognition in its 2024 statements, misleading investors about the company's true health.
The truth emerged on Nov. 27, 2024, when Symbotic revealed errors in its revenue recognition related to unbillable cost overruns. These errors impacted all quarters of fiscal year 2024, with the company estimating a combined reduction of $30 to $40 million in system revenue and other key financial metrics.
Adding to the concerns, Symbotic admitted to weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting, raising questions about the company's oversight practices. As of this writing, neither the financial restatements nor the annual report have been filed.
Prominent shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman is investigating the allegations to determine whether these accounting errors were intentional attempts to manipulate the company's financial performance.
“Symbotic's accounting practices have come under scrutiny, with allegations of improper revenue recognition and internal control weaknesses. These issues have raised serious concerns about the company's financial health and future prospects,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
