TopBuild Corp Segments Disclosure
8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our business consists of two reportable segments: Installation Services and Specialty Distribution. We operate primarily in the U.S. and to a lesser extent Canada.
Our Installation Services segment installs insulation, commercial roofing and other building products. It sells primarily to the residential new construction market, with increasing activity in the commercial/industrial construction market, along with repair/remodel of residential housing. In addition, it provides commercial roofing installation services that includes re-roofing, recurring maintenance services, and new construction. Installation Services also installs other building products including glass and windows, rain gutters, garage doors, closet shelving, and fireplaces, among other items.
Our Specialty Distribution segment distributes building and mechanical insulation, insulation accessories and other building product materials for the residential and commercial/industrial end markets. In addition to insulation and accessories, it distributes rain gutters, closet shelving, and roofing materials, among other items. Distributed products are sold from distribution centers in various parts of the United States and Canada, primarily to contractors and dealers (including lumber yards) serving a wide variety of commercial/industrial markets.
Intercompany sales from the Specialty Distribution segment to the Installation Services segment are recorded by the Specialty Distribution segment with a profit margin and by our Installation Services segment at cost. This intercompany profit is eliminated in consolidation.
Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM measures performance for our reportable segments based on segment net sales and operating profit. Our CODM uses these measures to evaluate resource allocation and other strategic initiatives (e.g., making acquisitions and internal investments). Segment performance measures are compared to budgeted and forecasted amounts periodically to assist in evaluating performance versus expectations and to inform future allocation and strategic decisions.

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.
