8. Business Segment Information

 

The Company's CEO is the chief operating decision maker. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. We exclude from segment expenses and segment operating income (loss) certain corporate-related expenses and certain transactions or adjustments, such as costs related to restructuring actions, acquisition and related integration expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and costs associated with our global information technology transition initiatives. The Company's intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for at discounted market-based prices based on intersegment agreements. The chief operating decision maker uses segment operating income (loss) to assess the performance for each segment by comparing the results of each segment with one another, comparing actual results to budget and prior year, as well as to allocate resources.

The following tables present segment results for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 (in millions):

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.
