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: 'Although we intend to establish at least two sources of supply for materials whenever possible, for certain components we have sole or limited source supply arrangements.'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'We believe that we will continue to rely upon a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future.'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'We have a strategic alliance with SICPA to market and sell our OVP and OVMP product lines for banknote anti-counterfeiting applications worldwide.'”
“10-K Item 1: 'Our most significant contract manufacturing partners are located in China and Thailand.'”
Viavi's concentration risk is spread across suppliers, customers, and manufacturing partners, with the supply side flagged as the largest exposure. The company discloses sole or limited source supply arrangements for certain components, a high-share dependency that could constrain production if any one of those relationships were disrupted. On the revenue side, Viavi expects to continue relying on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of revenue, a medium-share dependency, and it also maintains a strategic alliance with SICPA to market and sell its OVP and OVMP product lines for banknote anti-counterfeiting applications worldwide — a medium-share counterparty relationship tying a specific product line to a single partner. Manufacturing adds a geographic layer: the company's most significant contract manufacturing partners are located in China and Thailand, another medium-share dependency. None of these exposures comes with a disclosed percentage, so absolute scale is unclear, but the supplier concentration is the one explicitly framed as largest. Together, the picture is one of limited redundancy across supply chain, customer base, and manufacturing footprint — any single disruption could have a real operational effect even unquantified.
