Note 7. Business Segments, Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

 

Segment Information

 

The Company determines its reporting units in accordance with ASC No. 280, Segment Reporting (ASC 280), as amended by ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which the Company adopted effective December 31, 2024. Management evaluates a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280. The Company then evaluates each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meet the definition of a business, the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, the Company determines if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated.

 

The Company’s chief executive officer is the chief operating decision maker (CODM), and the CODM evaluates financial performance and makes operating decisions about allocating resources based on financial data presented on a consolidated basis, including consolidated net income (loss). Because the CODM evaluates financial performance on a consolidated basis, the Company operates and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment as a fabless semiconductor company focused on the development and sale of mmWave wireless technology, semiconductor devices and antenna modules, the performance of non-recurring engineering, or NRE, services and the licensing of intellectual property. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

 

The Company’s reporting segment meets the definition of an operating segment and does not include the aggregation of multiple operating segments.

Significant segment expenses include research and development expenditures, salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation, and software license obligations. Operating expenses include all remaining costs necessary to operate the Company’s business, which primarily include facilities, external professional services and other administrative expenses. The following table presents the significant segment expenses and other segment items regularly reviewed by our CODM:

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.
