For the years ended March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 no single foreign country comprised 10.0% or more of the Company’s total net sales. No single customer accounted for 10.0% or more of the Company’s net sales during the years ended March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017.

The Company sells its products to customers for net trade accounts receivables and as of March 31, 2019 had no customers that exceeded 10% or more of trade accounts receivable, net, compared to two customers that represented 21.6% of trade accounts receivable, net, as of March 31, 2018.

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 on these evaluations. Refer to Schedule II, “Total Valuation and Qualifying Accounts,” for further information regarding the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts.

Suppliers

The Company’s production is concentrated at a limited number of independent manufacturing factories, primarily 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. In an effort to partially reduce its dependency on sheepskin, the Company began using a proprietary raw material, UGGpure, which is a re-purposed 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 from 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 patterns, harvesting decisions, incidents of disease, and the price of other commodities such as wool and leather. 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.
