What these concentrations mean together
updated 2026-10-11Oil-Dri's disclosed concentrations are one operational input and one customer relationship. The company depends on its mining operations, and the quality of the clay mined, for a majority of its supply of sorbent minerals. This is a structural exposure: its raw material base is tied to its own mines, so reserve quality, mining disruptions, or permitting issues feed straight into product availability and cost. It is also a source of integration strength, since the company controls its core input rather than depending on a third party. On the customer side, sales to Walmart and its affiliates accounted for approximately 19% of total net sales in fiscal 2025, compared with 20% in fiscal 2024. This is a dependency exposure, and the trend in the disclosed share is slightly down. A single retailer at this share carries pricing and shelf-space leverage, so a change in that relationship would be noticeable but is bounded by the share. Netted together, the mining base is the structural feature that defines the cost position, while the Walmart relationship is the counterparty exposure most likely to move results in a given year. Both are disclosed in the 10-K.
