NETGEAR, INC. Segments Disclosure
Note 12. Segment Information
Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated quarterly by management, namely the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) of an organization, in order to determine operating and resource allocation decisions. By this definition, the Company has identified its as the CODM. As disclosed above, beginning on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025, the Company operates and reports in two segments: Enterprise (formerly NETGEAR For Business) and Consumer, with Consumer comprising the former Home Networking and Mobile businesses, previously reported as Connected Home. Refer to “Segments” in Note 1, The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for additional information
regarding the Company’s segment changes during 2025. These changes did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements or segment financial information for the year ended December 31, 2025, and prior-period segment information has been presented on a comparable basis.
The Company’s reportable segments are described as follows:
The Company believes that this structure reflects its current operational and financial management, with Enterprise and Consumer operating as distinct business units with integrated product development and go-to-market capabilities. The leadership teams of each segment are responsible for sales, marketing, product management, engineering, and customer support activities tailored to their respective markets.
The results of the reportable segments are derived directly from the Company’s management reporting system. The results are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting and are not necessarily in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Management measures the performance of each segment based on several metrics, including contribution income (loss). Segment contribution income (loss) includes all product line segment revenue less the related cost of sales, research and development and sales and marketing costs. Contribution income (loss) is used, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, each of the segments. Certain operating expenses are not allocated to segments because they are separately managed at the corporate level. These unallocated indirect costs include corporate costs, such as corporate research and development, corporate marketing expense and general and administrative costs, amortization of intangibles, acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, intangible assets impairment, restructuring and other charges, litigation reserves, net, and other income, net.
Financial information for each reportable segment and a reconciliation of total segment contribution income to income (loss) before income taxes is as follows:

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.
