Optex Systems Holdings Inc Segments Disclosure
Note 4 — Segment Reporting
The Company’s two reportable segments, Applied Optics Center (“Applied Optics Center” or “AOC”) and Optex Systems – Richardson (“Optex Richardson”), are strategic businesses offering similar products to similar markets and customers; however, they are operated and managed separately due to differences in manufacturing technology, equipment, geographic location, and specific product mix. Applied Optics Center was acquired as a unit, and management at the time of the acquisition was retained.
The Applied Optics Center segment also serves as the key supplier of laser coated filters used in the production of periscope assemblies for the Optex Richardson segment. Intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for at annually agreed to pricing rates based on estimated segment product cost, which include segment direct manufacturing and general and administrative costs but exclude profits that would apply to third party external customers.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which is our CEO, uses the segment revenue, cost of sales and net operating income to assess the Company’s performance and allocation of resources. A summary of segment performance for the twelve months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 is included in the table below:

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.
