SEGMENT DISCLOSURE
Our CEO is our CODM. Our CODM evaluates performance and makes operating decisions about allocating resources based on financial data presented on a consolidated basis. Because our CODM evaluates financial performance on a consolidated basis, we have determined that we have a single operating segment composed of the consolidated financial results of Clearwater Paper.
The measure used by our CODM to assess performance and make operating decisions is net income (loss) as reported on our consolidated statements of operations. This, in connection with other metrics, is used by our CODM to identify underlying trends in the performance of our business and make comparisons with the financial performance of our competitors. Our CODM also reviews total assets, as reported on our consolidated balance sheets, and purchases of property and equipment, as reported on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Our CODM utilizes other key operating metrics, including disaggregated measures of net sales by product line, disaggregation of significant segment expenses and Adjusted EBITDA in order to assess our financial performance. Operating expenses are broken into categories for input costs (including raw materials and energy), supply chain costs (principally freight and outside warehouse costs) and labor and overhead related to our production facilities.
Our manufacturing facilities and all other assets are located within the continental United States. The CODM does not review assets on a more disaggregated basis than what is presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We sell and ship our products to customers in several foreign countries. Net sales based on continuing operations, classified by major product lines and the major geographic areas in which our customers are located are reflected in the following table:

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.
