Guidance, Outlook, Commentary, and Risks
The filing contains forward-looking statements concerning Portillo’s financial position, operations, plans, objectives, future performance, and business outlook. The company cautions that actual results may differ materially because of risks including COVID-19 impacts, food safety issues, information technology failures, cybersecurity and privacy risks, competition, labor shortages, regulatory requirements, difficulty securing suitable restaurant sites, changing economic conditions and consumer preferences, inflation in food and operating costs, tariffs, and supply shortages.
The filing does not provide clear numerical guidance or specific operating targets in the text supplied. Management states that forward-looking statements reflect current expectations and assumptions, are made only as of November 8, 2022, and are not being updated except as required by law.
The Item 7.01 information and related presentation are furnished rather than filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and generally will not be incorporated by reference into other filings unless expressly stated. Portillo’s identified its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2021, and subsequent SEC filings as sources for additional risk disclosures.
