Note 17 - Segment and Geographic Information
Segment Information
We operate through two strategic business divisions, each comprised of operating segments organized by our brands and product lines. Operating segments with similar economic and qualitative characteristics are aggregated into our two reportable segments, which align with our strategic business divisions. Our two reportable segments consist of Home & Outdoor and Beauty & Wellness. The Olive & June brand and products were added to the Beauty & Wellness segment upon the completion of the acquisition. For additional information on our segments refer to Note 1 and Item 1., “Business,” included within this Annual Report.
Segment financial information is prepared in accordance with GAAP and our significant accounting policies described in Note 1. Resources are allocated and performance is assessed using segment operating income by our Chief Executive Officer, whom we have determined to be our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). Our CODM utilizes segment operating income when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments, predominantly in the annual budget and quarterly forecasting processes. In addition, our CODM uses operating income, including comparison of actual results to budget and forecast, in assessing the performance of each segment and in evaluating product pricing, distribution strategies and marketing investments. Our CODM reviews balance sheet information at a consolidated level. We compute segment operating income based on net sales revenue, less cost of goods sold, SG&A, asset impairment charges and restructuring charges. The SG&A used to compute each segment’s operating income is directly associated with the segment, plus shared services and corporate overhead expenses that are allocable to the segment. We do not allocate non-operating income and expense, including interest or income taxes, to operating segments.

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.
