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: 'some of our suppliers are our sole sources for certain materials, equipment and components'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'we stopped all of our product shipments to Huawei, historically our largest networking customer in China, in the beginning of calendar year 2024'”
Lumentum Holdings' concentration risk spans both supply and customer relationships, though the disclosures point to a business that has already worked through part of its customer concentration. On the supply side, some of the company's suppliers are sole sources for certain materials, equipment, and components, a high-share dependency that leaves limited room to substitute if any one of those relationships were disrupted. On the customer side, the more notable disclosure is retrospective rather than current: Lumentum stopped all product shipments to Huawei, historically its largest networking customer in China, at the beginning of calendar year 2024, a medium-share exposure whose character is dependency-based even though the relationship has already been severed. That timing matters for how investors should read it — the Huawei exposure is now a completed transition rather than an ongoing risk, meaning the current revenue base no longer carries that specific counterparty dependency, while the sole-source supplier risk remains a live, structural vulnerability in ongoing operations. Overall, the supply-side dependency is the more forward-looking risk to monitor, whereas the Huawei disclosure mainly explains a past revenue step-down rather than a present-day concentration.
