 increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness may increase even though the amount borrowed remains the same, if our then-effective swaps, if any, do not reduce our exposure. As of December 28, 2024, our variable rate indebtedness used SOFR as the benchmark for establishing the interest rate.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our debt and satisfy our other liquidity requirements.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations and to fund our planned capital expenditures and other ongoing liquidity needs depends on our future performance, which may be affected by financial, business, economic, demographic and other factors, such as the increased popularity and acceptance of weight management medications, attitudes toward weight management and wellness programs and pressure from our competitors.

While we have and continue to execute certain cost-savings initiatives, including our previously disclosed 2024 restructuring plan, to continue to proactively manage our liquidity, if our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness.

Additionally, our liquidity is impacted by our cash usage, including cash payments related to strategic initiatives and acquisitions. For example, to complete our acquisition of Sequence, we made a significant purchase price cash payment in fiscal 2023 and an additional payment in fiscal 2024, and will be required to make a final payment of $16.0 million in fiscal 2025. These material payments may negatively impact our short- and long-term liquidity in the future, which could harm our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements.

If we do not successfully enter into transaction(s) to strengthen our balance sheet and increase our financial flexibility, our liquidity and
