Risk factors to consider:
Vendor Dependency: The company heavily relies on global technology brands for revenue, with approximately 82-83% of revenue coming from them in recent years. Any supply delays or failures from these brands could significantly harm the company’s business and reputation.
Brand Maintenance: The success of the business depends on global technology brands effectively promoting and maintaining their brand reputation and consistently delivering high-quality products. Any issues with these brands could impact the company’s operations.
Low Gross Margins: The company operates with low gross margins, which means that even small fluctuations in revenue, operating costs, bad debts, or interest expenses can have a magnified impact on its overall operating results.
Online Marketplace Dependency: The company’s operations are closely tied to certain online marketplaces. Disruptions or changes in the business practices of these marketplaces could adversely affect the company’s operations and financial condition.
Negative Cash Flows: Historically, the company has experienced negative cash flows, which could limit its ability to operate and implement growth plans in the future. Managing cash flow effectively is crucial.
