Significant Customers

The Company sells its products to customers throughout the US and to foreign customers located in Europe, Asia, Canada, Australia, and Latin America, among other regions. Approximately $617,867, or 32.5%, $539,000, or 30.1%, and $526,000, or 28.1%, of total net sales were denominated in foreign currencies for the years ended March 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. International sales were 38.3%, 36.2%, and 35.0% of the Company's total net sales for the years ended March 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. For the years ended March 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, no single foreign country comprised more than 10.0% of the Company's total net sales.

Management performs regular evaluations concerning the ability of the Company's customers to satisfy their obligations to the Company and records an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon these evaluations. The Company's five largest customers accounted for approximately 23.6% of worldwide sales for the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to 20.3% for the year ended March 31, 2017. No single customer accounted for 10.0% or more of the Company's net sales during the years ended March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. At March 31, 2018, the Company had two customers that represented a combined 21.6% of net trade accounts receivable compared to one customer that made up 11.2% of net trade accounts receivable at March 31, 2017.

Suppliers

The Company's production is concentrated at a limited number of independent manufacturing factories in Asia. Sheepskin is the principal raw material for certain UGG brand products and the majority of sheepskin is purchased from two tanneries in China and is sourced primarily from Australia and the United Kingdom. Beginning in 2013, in an effort to partially reduce its dependency on sheepskin, the Company began using a proprietary raw material, UGGpureTM (UGGpure), which is a wool woven into a durable backing, in some of its UGG brand products. The Company currently purchases UGGpure from two suppliers. The other production materials used by the Company are sourced primarily in Asia. The Company's operations are subject to the customary risks of doing business abroad, including, but not limited to, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, customs duties and related fees, various import controls and other nontariff barriers, restrictions on the transfer of funds, labor unrest and strikes, and, in certain parts of the world, political instability. The supply of sheepskin can be adversely impacted by weather conditions, disease, and harvesting decisions that are completely outside of the Company's control. Furthermore, the price of sheepskin is impacted by numerous other factors, including demand for the Company's products, demand for sheepskin by competitors, changes in consumer preferences and changes in discretionary spending.

Net Property and Equipment

The Company does not consider international operations a separate reportable operating segment. Management reviews such operations in the aggregate with the aforementioned reportable operating segments.
