| Auditor Opinion [Text Block] |
Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Leslie’s, Inc. (the Company) as of September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 28, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 28, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 28, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated November 27, 2024 expressed an adverse opinion thereon. Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited Leslie’s, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 28, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Leslie’s, Inc. (the Company) has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 28, 2024, based on the COSO criteria.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses were identified and included in management’s assessment. Management has identified material weaknesses in controls related to the Company’s vendor rebate process and inventory process.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 28, 2024, and the related notes. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2024 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated November 27, 2024 which expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. |
