MKS INC Segments Disclosure
Reportable Segments and Products
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”), which is the Company’s , utilizes financial information to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company, which is used in the decision-making process to assess performance. The Company has a diverse base of customers across its three end markets, semiconductor, electronics and packaging, and specialty industrial. Segment gross margin is the primary measure used by the CODM to assess segment performance and allocate resources. Gross margin, among other measures, is utilized when making decisions about capital and personnel allocations across segments.
The Company has three reporting segments, VSD, PSD and MSD as described below.
VSD delivers foundational technology solutions for semiconductor manufacturing, electronics and packaging, and specialty industrial applications. VSD products are derived from the Company’s core competencies in vacuum technologies, including pressure measurement and control, flow measurement and control, gas and vapor delivery, gas composition analysis, electronic control technology, reactive gas generation and delivery, power generation and delivery, and fiber optic temperature and position sensing.
PSD provides a broad range of instruments, components and subsystems to leading edge semiconductor manufacturing, electronics and packaging and specialty industrial applications. PSD products are derived from our core competencies in lasers, photonics, optics, precision motion control and vibration control.
MSD develops leading process and manufacturing technologies for advanced surface modification, electroless and electrolytic plating, and surface finishing. Applying a comprehensive systems-and-solutions approach, MSD’s portfolio
includes chemistry, equipment and services for innovative and high-technology applications in the electronics and packaging and specialty industrial markets.
The Company derives its segment results directly from the manner in which results are reported in its management reporting system. The accounting policies that the Company uses to derive reportable segment results are substantially the same as those used for external reporting purposes. The Company groups its product offerings by its reportable segments, VSD, PSD, and MSD. For each reportable segment, the Company also provides services relating to the maintenance and repair of its products, installation services and training. Unallocated corporate expenses represent those costs not specifically related to the operations of each segment and are managed separately at the corporate level and primarily relate to labor costs of global functions such as supply chain, quality control and operations.
The following tables set forth the details of gross profit by reportable segment and the reconciliation to income (loss) before income taxes:

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.
