MESA LABORATORIES INC /CO/ Segments Disclosure
Note 14. Segment Data
Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our chief operating decision maker, our CEO, uses to manage our segments, evaluate financial results, and make key operating decisions. Our reportable segments are organized primarily by the nature of the goods and services they sell. The CODM uses segment revenue, organic revenues growth (non-GAAP), and gross profit to allocate resources and to assess the performance of our segments. Monthly, the CODM reviews forecast-to-actual and prior-to-current period variances in segment revenue and in segment gross profit when making decisions to allocate capital and personnel to the segments. Our CODM also reviews operating income, adjusted to exclude non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation, on a consolidated basis to further manage operations. The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1. "Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
The following tables set forth our segment information:

| (a) | Intersegment revenues are not significant and are eliminated to arrive at consolidated totals. Revenues as presented are consistent with GAAP measurement principles and our CODM's review of segment information. | |
| (b) | Other segment cost of revenues for each reportable segment includes product costs, personnel costs (including stock based compensation), and other manufacturing and overhead costs necessary to produce and sell our products and services, excluding depreciation, amortization, and non-cash inventory step-up amortization expenses. | |
| (c) | Gross profit as presented is consistent with GAAP measurement principles and our CODM's review of segment information. | |
| (d) | Includes GKE results beginning upon acquisition in fiscal year 2024. | |
| (e) | Unallocated corporate expenses and other business activities are reported within Corporate and Other. Certain depreciation expense classified reflected in Corporate and Other in fiscal years 2024 and 2023 has been recast to conform to current year presentation. |
Changes in the Sterilization and Disinfection Control division are primarily attributable to the GKE acquisition consummated in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024.
The following table sets forth net inventories by reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker is not provided with any other segment asset information. In addition to sales of our products, inventories decreased in fiscal year 2025 primarily due to adjustments to realizable value and amortization of non-cash inventory step-up from the GKE acquisition.

The following table sets forth a summary of long-lived assets by geographic area. Long-lived assets exclude goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination, deferred tax assets and other non-tangible assets. The increase in long-lived assets in Sweden is primarily due to right of use assets associated with a ten-year operating lease that commenced in fiscal year 2025 related to a facility used by our Biopharmaceutical Development division for manufacturing and administrative purposes.

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.
