Net income decreased by $92.0 million, or 66.5%, to $46.3 million for the three months ended December 27, 2024 compared to $138.4 million for the prior-year period primarily due to lower gross profit of $119.5 million, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expense of $9.2 million, and lower income tax expense of $17.0 million.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $114.4 million, or 53.6%, to $99.2 million for the three months ended December 27, 2024 compared to $213.5 million for the three months ended December 29, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit.
