14. Significant Segment Expenses

The accounting policies of our reportable segment are consistent with the accounting policies described in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements. The primary measures regularly provided to the CODM, including revenue, gross margin and income before income taxes, are shown in these consolidated financial statements. The CODM uses these measures to assess performance for the reportable segment and to decide how to allocate resources. Gross margin and income before income taxes are driven by the segment’s significant expense items of cost of sales and compensation and benefits, as well as other segment items. Cost of sales is shown in these consolidated financial statements. Compensation and benefits were $2.2 billion, $2.3 billion and $2.3 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are reported within selling, general, and administrative expenses in these consolidated financial statements. Other segment items are substantially all the remaining selling, general, and administrative expenses reported in these consolidated financial statements. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

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.
