19. Segment Information

 

The Company regularly reviews its segments and the approach used by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The Company manages its operations through an evaluation of three distinct operating segments: Cell Therapy, Degenerative Disease, and BioBanking. The chief operating decision maker, who is the Company’s chief executive officer, uses the actual segment contribution results compared to budgets, among other factors, for performance evaluation and resource allocation among these segments. The segment contribution is calculated as net revenues less the cost of revenues (excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets) and direct expenses. Direct expenses in the Cell Therapy operating segment consist of research and development costs, and direct expenses in the Degenerative Disease and Biobanking operating segments consist mainly of selling, general, and administrative costs. The CODM assesses actual results against budgets and forecasts, and uses this information to make decisions about strategic investment into the Company’s operations.

 

The reportable segments, which are the same as the operating segments, were determined based on the distinct nature of the activities performed by each segment. Cell Therapy broadly refers to therapies the Company is researching and developing. Therapies being researched are unproven and in various phases of development. Degenerative Disease produces, sells and licenses products used in surgical and wound care markets. BioBanking collects stem cells from umbilical cords and placentas and provides storage of such cells on behalf of individuals for future use.

 

The Company manages its assets on a total company basis, not by operating segment. Therefore, the chief operating decision maker does not regularly review any asset information or related income statement effects by operating segment and, accordingly, asset information is not reported by reportable segment. Refer to the Consolidated Balance Sheet for information about total 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.
