Cash Flow WeaknessA recent deterioration in operating cash flow and negative free cash flow growth create medium-term liquidity risk. Persistent OCF weakness can constrain working capital, limit capex or product investment, and raise the need for external financing or tighter cash management.

Supply-chain And Sourcing ExposureHeavy reliance on imports and overseas sourcing exposes Shoei to FX swings, shipping cost inflation, and trade disruptions. These structural supply-chain risks can increase input cost volatility, inventory needs, and delivery uncertainty, pressuring margins and service continuity.
