Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers and Suppliers
Customer Concentration – Approximately 44% of the Company’s net sales for fiscal 2017, 42% for fiscal 2016 and 40% for fiscal 2015 were derived from sales to the Company’s top five customers. The Company’s largest customer accounted for approximately 16%, 15% and 16% of the Company’s net sales in fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company’s second largest customer in 2017 accounted for approximately 8% of the Company’s net sales in the fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company’s third largest customer in 2017 accounted for approximately 8%, 8% and 7% of the Company’s net sales in fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The loss of, or significant adverse change in, the relationship between the Company and any of these three customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial results. The loss of or reduction in orders from any significant customer, losses arising from customer disputes regarding shipments, fees, merchandise condition or related matters, or the Company’s inability to collect accounts receivable from any major customer could also have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial results. As of September 30, 2017 and September 24, 2016, accounts receivable from the Company’s top five customers comprised approximately 44% and 41% of the Company’s total accounts receivable, including 10% and 11% from the Company’s largest customer.
Supplier Concentration – While the Company purchases products from many different manufacturers and suppliers, approximately 9%, 9% and 11% of the Company’s cost of goods sold in fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were derived from products purchased from the Company’s five largest suppliers.
