SEGMENT INFORMATION
We are organized into three reporting segments. Operations that sell proprietary dispensing systems, drug delivery systems, sealing solutions and services to the prescription drug, consumer health care, injectables, active material science solutions and digital health markets form our Pharma segment. Operations that sell dispensing systems and sealing solutions to the fragrance, facial skincare, color cosmetics, personal care and home care markets form our Beauty segment. Operations that sell dispensing closures, sealing solutions and food service trays to the food, beverage, personal care, home care, beauty and other markets form our Closures segment. The Pharma and Beauty segments are named for the markets they serve with multiple product platforms, while the Closures segment is named primarily for a single product platform that serves all available markets.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. We adopted ASU 2023-07, Improvement to Reportable Segment Disclosures which requires enhanced segment disclosure. Our chief operating decision maker, ("CODM") is our President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephan Tanda. Our CODM is provided operating reports from each of our reportable segments which include or can easily derive significant segment expenses identified as selling, research & development and administrative expenses and cost of sales by segment. Additionally, the other segment items is primarily comprised of foreign currency gains or losses from operations and other non-operating activity. Our CODM evaluates performance of our reporting segments and allocates resources based upon Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, unallocated corporate expenses, restructuring initiatives, acquisition-related costs, net unrealized investment gains and losses related to observable market price changes on equity securities and other special items. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information regarding performance of each segment as it reflects profitability and performance of each segment on a consistent and comparable basis, and our CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions supporting capital resource allocation, including in connection with development, acquisition and disposition activities in each segment.

About Segments Disclosures

Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.

Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
