(14) Segment Data

Effective January 1, 2025, our segment reporting was realigned to break out our Morocco business from France. Accordingly, France is now adjusted to exclude Morocco. All previously reported results have been recast to conform to the current year presentation.

Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates the performance of our operating segments using operating unit profit ("OUP"). OUP serves as the measure of profitability for monitoring actual results against budgeted expectations as well as investment and resource allocation among our segments. In addition, the CODM utilizes OUP in conducting competitive analysis, benchmarking our performance against that of our competitors and determining compensation.

We are organized and managed primarily on a geographic basis. Each country and business unit generally has its own distinct management team, providing services under our global brands and maintains its own financial reports. Each operation reports directly or indirectly through a regional manager to a member of executive management. Given this reporting structure, we operate using the following reporting segments: Americas, which includes United States and Other Americas; Southern Europe, which includes France, Italy and Other Southern Europe; Northern Europe; and APME.

The segments derive a majority of their revenues from our staffing and interim services. The remaining revenues within these segments are derived from our outcome-based solutions and consulting services, permanent recruitment services, outplacement services, talent management services and other services. Segment revenues represent sales to external clients. We provide services to a wide variety of clients, none of which individually comprise a significant portion of revenues for us as a whole. Due to the nature of our business, we generally do not have export sales.

Total assets for the segments are reported after the elimination of investments in subsidiaries and intercompany accounts.

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.
