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).

The company's concentration profile is multi-dimensional, spanning geography, supply chain, and a single distributor relationship. The most prominent exposure is the high share of net sales to foreign customers at approximately 75%, including 18% in China and 15% in Taiwan — the overall foreign-customer share is a high-share, structural exposure reflecting where the semiconductor customer base is geographically clustered. The individual China and Taiwan components are each low-share at the reported levels, but they sit within a high-share aggregate that makes geopolitical and trade-policy dynamics a central operating variable. The supply-chain picture is similarly high-share: approximately 65% of net sales in the period came from products manufactured at outside wafer foundries — also a high-share exposure with a dependency character. Reliance on outside foundries for that share of output means that capacity constraints, yield issues, or pricing changes at contract manufacturers flow directly through cost and availability of a large majority of products. The largest distributor, Arrow Electronics, accounted for 12% of net sales in fiscal 2026 — a small-share dependency at the individual name level, but worth noting as the single largest disclosed channel partner. Together, the profile is dense with structural exposures across the international customer base and outside foundry dependency; the Arrow relationship is the one idiosyncratic counterparty name to monitor. The dominant risks are geopolitical (particularly U.S.-China and Taiwan tensions) and foundry capacity.
