16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company views its operations and manages its business in one reportable segment, which is developing and commercializing therapeutics for cancer and obesity.

 

The Company's Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The CODM makes decisions based on net income (loss). Significant expenses within net income (loss) include research and development and general and administrative expenses, which are each separately presented on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Other segment items within net income (loss) include interest and investment income, interest expense and other income.

 

The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets. All material long-lived assets are located in the United States. Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment, net, and operating lease right-of-use 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.
