2023-02-08 14:14
Revenue Concentration and Customer Dependence - In 2022, sales to the top ten customers accounted for 74% of total revenue, with Walmart and Sam's Club contributing 30% and 18% respectively[68]. - The company relies on a relatively small number of customers for a significant portion of revenue, making it vulnerable to customer consolidation and loss[67].

Financial Performance and Results - Total net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022, were $3,817 million, an increase from $3,556 million in 2021, representing a growth of 7.3%[288]. - Gross profit for 2022 was $776 million, down from $811 million in 2021, indicating a decrease of 4.3%[288]. - Net income for 2022 was $258 million, compared to $324 million in 2021, reflecting a decline of 20.4%[288]. - Earnings per share (EPS) for 2022 were $1.23, down from $1.54 in 2021, a decrease of 20.1%[288]. - The company reported interest expense of $76 million in 2022, an increase from $48 million in 2021, representing a rise of 58.3%[288].

Ownership and Governance - PFL controls approximately 74% of the voting power of the company's outstanding common stock, allowing it to determine the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval[116]. - The company is classified as a "controlled company" under Nasdaq rules, which allows it to rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements[125]. - The concentration of PFL's ownership may discourage other parties from making tender offers, potentially preventing stockholders from receiving a premium for their shares[118]. Risks and Compliance - The company faces risks related to product quality and potential recalls, which could harm reputation and financial performance[85]. - The company may incur material liabilities under existing or future laws and regulations, which could adversely affect its business and financial condition[132]. - The company is subject to various environmental, health, and safety laws, which impose strict liability for costs related to hazardous substances[134]. - The company may face increased compliance costs due to evolving ESG regulations and stakeholder expectations[136].

Dividends and Shareholder Returns - The company intends to continue paying quarterly cash dividends, but its ability to do so may be limited by operational results and debt restrictions[114]. - The company declared and paid dividends of $0.92 per share in both 2021 and 2022, totaling $192 million each year[301].
