Our revenues are concentrated in the areas of OTC Healthcare and Household Cleaning products (prior to the sale of our Household Cleaning segment, as discussed in Note 3).  We sell our products to mass merchandisers and drug, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and ecommerce channels.  During 2019, 2018, and 2017, approximately 42.9%, 41.2%, and 40.0%, respectively, of our gross revenues were derived from our five top selling brands.  One customer, Walmart, accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenues for each of the periods presented. During 2019, 2018, and 2017, Walmart accounted for approximately 23.7%, 23.8%, and 21.1%, respectively, of our gross revenues. At March 31, 2019, approximately 25.1% of our accounts receivable were owed by Walmart.

Our product distribution in the United States is currently managed by a third party through one primary distribution center near St. Louis, Missouri, and we operate one manufacturing facility for certain of our products located in Lynchburg, Virginia. On May 13, 2019, we entered into an agreement with a second third party logistics provider for a warehouse, and we intend to transition to this facility, which will be managed by a new logistics provider. A serious disruption, caused by performance or contractual issues with a third party distribution manager or by earthquake, flood, or fire, could damage our inventory and/or materially impair our ability to distribute our products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. Any disruption as a result of business integration, transition of our distribution center to the new third party manager or new location, or third party performance at our distribution centers could result in increased costs, expense and/or shipping times, and could cause us to incur customer fees and penalties. In addition, any serious disruption to our Lynchburg manufacturing facility could materially impair our ability to manufacture many of the Fleet products, which would also limit our ability to provide those products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost.  We could also incur significantly higher costs and experience longer lead times if we need to replace our distribution centers, the third party distribution managers or the manufacturing facility.  As a result, any serious disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

At March 31, 2019, we had relationships with 113 third party manufacturers.  Of those, we had long-term contracts with 33 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 65.6% of our gross sales for 2019, compared to 46 manufacturers with long-term contracts that accounted for approximately 73.6% of gross sales in 2018.  The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with certain manufacturers means that they could cease manufacturing our products at any time and for any reason or initiate arbitrary and costly price increases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results from operations. Although we are in the process of negotiating long-term contracts with certain key manufacturers, we may not be able to reach a timely agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
