RideNow Group, Inc. Segments Disclosure
SEGMENT REPORTING
Business segments are components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assess operating performance and allocate resources. Our CODM is our Chairman and CEO. Our operations are organized by management into operating segments by line of business. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the segment operating income (loss) of the operating segments, which excludes impairment charges, amortization and depreciation that are included in operating income (loss) on the consolidated statement of operations and includes floor plan interest expense, which is not included in operating income (loss) on the consolidated statement of operations. The CODM uses segment operating income in the annual budget and forecasting process, and considers budget-to-actual variances on a periodic basis.
We have two reportable segments: (1) powersports dealership group and (2) vehicle transportation services. The powersports dealership group segment is primarily comprised of powersports dealerships that sell new and pre-owned powersports vehicles; parts, service and accessories; and finance and inventory products for powersports vehicles sold. The vehicle transportation services segment provides nationwide transportation brokerage services between dealerships and auctions.
The powersports dealership group segment is significantly larger and requires more investment than our vehicle transportation services segment. The operating income of the powersports segment includes operating overhead and corporate costs. The most significant costs for both segments are their cost of revenue and compensation and related costs. Assets are not used for purposes of assessing performance or allocating resources and, as a result, such information has not been presented.

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.
