JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC.J
JACOBS SOLUTIONS INC. Segments Disclosure
Segment Information
The Company's two operating segments are comprised of Infrastructure and Advanced Facilities ("I&AF"), and its majority investment in PA Consulting. Subsequent to the Separation Transaction, the SpinCo businesses are now presented as discontinued operations for all periods and therefore not reflected in the segment disclosures below. For further information, refer to Note 14- Discontinued Operations.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Decision Maker (“CODM”) and evaluates the performance of and makes appropriate resource allocations to each of the segments. For purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment testing, it has been determined that the Company’s operating segments are also its reporting units based on management’s conclusion that the components comprising each of its operating segments share similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria for reporting units in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.
Financial information for each segment is reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. The CODM evaluates the operating performance of our operating segments primarily using segment operating profit. The Company incurs certain SG&A that relate to its business as a whole which are not allocated to the segments. The CODM does not review segment assets as a measure of segment performance.

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.
