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: 'We currently purchase engines from General Motors LLC, or General Motors, that we then prepare for marine use for certain Malibu, Axis and Cobalt boats.'”
“10-K Item 1: 'Our top ten dealers represented 42.8%, 40.4% and 41.1%, of our net sales for fiscal year 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'We purchase outboard engines from Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., or Yamaha, for a significant percentage of our Cobalt, Pursuit and Maverick Boats Group branded boats that are pre-rigged for outboard motors.'”
“10-K Item 1: 'Sales to our dealers under common control of OneWater Marine, Inc. represented approximately 24.7%, 23.7% and 17.2% of consolidated net sales in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively'”
Malibu Boats carries supplier concentration on the engine side: the company purchases engines from General Motors for certain Malibu, Axis, and Cobalt boats, a high-disclosed-size dependency, and purchases outboard engines from Yamaha for a significant percentage of its Cobalt, Pursuit, and Maverick Boats Group models, a medium-disclosed-size dependency. Together these two suppliers mean engine sourcing runs through a small number of named counterparties across nearly all of Malibu's brands. On the customer side, the top ten dealers represented 42.8% of net sales in fiscal 2025, a medium-sized dependency, and within that group, dealers under common control of OneWater Marine accounted for approximately 24.7% of consolidated net sales, a lower-disclosed-size but still notable single-relationship concentration. Netting these together, the General Motors engine dependency is the exposure most likely to move the verdict given its high-disclosed size and the fact that it touches multiple boat brands, while the Yamaha relationship and dealer concentrations — including the OneWater-affiliated dealers — are moderate, well-disclosed risks that add to, but do not individually dominate, the overall concentration picture.
