Note 9: Segment

 

The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable segment and one operating segment, which is the business of developing and commercializing synthetic protein products using the Company’s proprietary microbial platforms, including Dapibus™ and C1. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, or CODM, is the Company’s senior management team that includes the Chief Executive Officer, President & Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net loss that is also reported on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets. The Company operates in the U.S. and Europe. All material long-lived assets of the Company reside in the U.S. For geographic information about the Company’s product revenues, see Note 1, Concentration. Long-lived assets primarily consist of operating lease right-of-use assets.

 

The CODM uses consolidated net loss to evaluate the Company’s spending and monitor budget versus actual results. The monitoring of budgeted versus actual results is used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing resource allocation across the organization. Factors used in determining the reportable segment include the nature of the Company’s operating activities, the organizational and reporting structure and the type of information reviewed by the CODM to allocate resources and evaluate financial performance. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

 

The CODM reviews cash, cash equivalents and investment securities as a measure of segment assets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and investment securities were $8.6 million and $9.3 million, respectively.

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.
