Item 8.01
Other Events.
Levi Strauss & Co. (the “Company”) recently detected that the Company experienced a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized third party gained access to Company files through social engineering techniques that enabled unauthorized access to three employees’ Company-issued computers. Following such detection, the Company initiated response protocols, implemented containment measures, launched an investigation, which remains ongoing and engaged the services of third-party cybersecurity experts.
Based on preliminary findings from the Company’s investigation,
the Company believes that certain corporate information was accessed and exfiltrated as a result of the incident. As of the date of
this filing, the Company believes that its rapid response efforts successfully contained and terminated the unauthorized access, and
that no consumer data was impacted. The Company has not experienced any interruption in business operations as a result of the
incident.
Based on information available as of the date of this filing, the Company does not believe the incident has had, or is reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the Company’s business strategy, operations, financial condition, or results of operations.
The Company has provided and will provide notifications to affected
parties and applicable regulators as appropriate and in accordance with applicable law.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements regarding the scope, impact, and anticipated consequences of the cybersecurity incident described herein. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current reasonable assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are necessary estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Investors should consider the information contained in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025 and its most recently-filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements.
