Segment Reporting
The Company is managed at the consolidated level and therefore operates and reports as a single segment. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), and the measure of profitability included in the financial information regularly provided to the CODM is total Company Adjusted Operating Income, or Operating Income in periods where there are no adjustments. The Company’s CODM assesses Adjusted Operating Income performance in comparison to forecasts and historical results to make decisions on the reinvestment of profits into the business and capital allocation strategies.
The following table illustrates significant segment expenses that were regularly provided to the CODM in 2025, 2024, and 2023:

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.
