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 1: 'the Latin America stores represented 26% of our consolidated gross profit'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'more than 62% of our U.S. pawn stores were located in Texas (45%) and Florida (17%), and those stores account for a significant portion of our revenues and profitability'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'Gold jewelry comprises a large portion of the collateral security for our pawn loans and our inventory'”
The company's disclosed concentration profile is geographic and commodity-linked, with three structurally interconnected medium-share exposures. Within the U.S. operations, more than 62% of pawn stores were located in Texas at 45% and Florida at 17%, and those stores account for a significant portion of revenues and profitability — a medium-share geographic concentration by disclosed size that reflects where the company has historically expanded its domestic store network. This structural footprint means local economic conditions in Texas and Florida — employment levels, consumer income trends, and regulatory changes affecting pawn lending — have an outsized influence on U.S. results. Latin American stores represented 26% of consolidated gross profit, a separate medium-share geographic exposure with a structural character. The international segment adds currency translation and country-specific regulatory risks that differ meaningfully from the U.S. franchise, and together the two geographic concentrations mean the portfolio is spread across regions with distinct macroeconomic and regulatory environments rather than being fully correlated. A third medium-share exposure is the commodity tilt: gold jewelry comprises a large portion of the collateral for pawn loans and inventory. Gold price movements directly affect the company's pawn loan collateral valuations, forfeiture inventory values, and retail sales margin. Because gold is also sensitive to the same consumer stress that drives pawn traffic, the commodity exposure and the geographic exposures are partially correlated — all three tend to be stress-tested simultaneously in recessionary or inflationary environments.
