OPERATING SEGMENTS
At December 31, 2025, the Company had three segments: Branded Spirits, Distilling Solutions, and Ingredient Solutions. The Company’s operating segments are based on the financial information the chief operating decision maker uses to allocate resources and evaluate performance of the business. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the chief operating decision maker was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Branded Spirits segment consists of a portfolio of high quality branded spirits which are produced through the distilleries and bottling facilities. The Distilling Solutions segment consists of food grade alcohol (primarily brown goods) and distillery co-products, such as distillers feed (commonly called dried distillers grain in the industry). The Distilling Solutions segment also includes warehouse services, such as barrel put away, barrel storage, and barrel retrieval services. The Ingredient Solutions segment consists of specialty starches and proteins as well as commodity starches and proteins. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost and are treated as a transfer of inventory. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance.

Operating income for each segment is based on sales less identifiable operating expenses. The CODM used the operating income to evaluate the segment profitability and to assess the actual results compared to the budget. Non-direct selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), non-direct advertising and promotion expense, interest expense, and other general miscellaneous expenses are classified as Corporate.  Receivables, inventories, and equipment have been identified with the segments to which they relate.  All other assets are considered as Corporate.
The following tables present summarized financial information for each segment:

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.
