Each card carries a disclosed-size chip (HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW — how large the exposure is as a share of revenue, not how dangerous it is) and a nature tag: Built-in(the company’s own model, geography, or products) or Outside party (an external customer, supplier, or distributor it relies on).
“10-K Item 1A: 'the majority of which are located in Southeast Asia, predominantly in Vietnam and Indonesia, which exposes us to geographic concentration risk'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'processed largely by two tanneries in China capable of meeting our quality, volume, and animal welfare standards'”
The company's concentration profile combines a manufacturing geography concentration and a supplier dependency that are distinct in scale but linked through the same broad Southeast Asia supply chain. The majority of manufacturing is located in Southeast Asia, predominantly in Vietnam and Indonesia, which the filing explicitly identifies as a source of geographic concentration risk — a high-share concentration by disclosed size and structural in character. The company's production footprint has been deliberately built in this region over time, making it a durable feature of the operating model that cannot be quickly rebalanced. Tariff changes, labor cost inflation, regulatory shifts, or geopolitical disruptions in Vietnam or Indonesia would affect a large portion of production capacity. Layered on that manufacturing geography risk is a supplier dependency of moderate disclosed size: processed sheepskin — a critical material for certain product lines — is sourced largely through two tanneries in China capable of meeting the company's quality, volume, and animal welfare standards. This concentration is a dependency by character; if either tannery were to face operational disruption, capacity constraints, or quality failures, the supply of processed sheepskin for affected products could be impaired without an immediately available alternative. The two exposures are geographically adjacent but functionally distinct: manufacturing geography is a broad country-level risk while the tannery dependency is a specific supplier relationship. Together they suggest that the supply chain's most vulnerable point is in Asia, with both the production base and a critical specialty material concentrated in the same broad region. Investors should watch trade policy developments affecting Vietnam, Indonesia, and China as the primary macro variable.
