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: 'Our domestic wire drawing mills purchase nearly all of their steel rod requirements from our rod mill.'”
“10-K Item 1: 'The percentages of our trade sales related to products manufactured outside the United States were 39%, 40%, and 41% in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively.'”
“10-K Item 1: 'Our largest customer represented approximately 7% of our 2025 consolidated revenue. Our top 10 customers accounted for approximately 31% of these consolidated revenues.'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'We have 12 manufacturing facilities in China as of December 31, 2025 that contribute significantly to our earnings'”
Leggett & Platt's concentration risks split fairly evenly between structural and customer-dependency exposures, none of which stands out as a single dominant driver. On the structural side, domestic wire drawing mills purchase nearly all of their steel rod requirements from the company's own internal rod mill — a high-share exposure, though it is an intra-company dependency rather than a third-party supplier risk. Manufacturing is also increasingly non-domestic: products manufactured outside the United States rose to 41% of trade sales, up from 40% and 39% in the two prior years, a medium-share and growing exposure. On the customer side, the top 10 customers account for 31% of consolidated revenue, though the largest single customer is only about 7% — a medium-share exposure well spread across many accounts rather than reliant on one buyer. China adds a further medium-share, dependency-type exposure, given the 12 manufacturing facilities located there that contribute significantly to earnings. None of these exposures alone looks large enough to be a standalone swing factor, but the rising non-U.S. manufacturing share is the trend most worth monitoring.
