Smart-Home Gadgets: Regional Roll-Out Without FX Whiplash

Launching into Saudi and Kuwait means collecting SAR and KWD while paying Shenzhen suppliers in USD. A 4 % currency swing can erase two months of margin.

Stage	Exposure	Hedge Tool	Typical Cost
PO signed	SAR 2 M	90-day forward	0.6 %
Shipment afloat	SAR 2 M	NDF roll	0.4 %
Retail sell-through	SAR inflow	Natural hedge vs AED operating costs	0

Hedge Rule: If forward cost < 65 % of worst-case price swing, lock it.

Finance Overlay

• FX-Inclusive PO Line: Funds supplier deposit and hedge premium so cash-out matches spot plus hedge cost.
• Multi-Currency Receivables Facility: Advances SAR/KWD sales at 85 % LTV; lender nets out hedge on settlement day.
