SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company applies ASC 280, Segment Reporting, in determining reportable segments. We define our reportable segments based on the way the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is our Chief Executive Officer, manages the operations for purposes of allocating resources and assessing segment performance. Our reportable segments include the following:

•Software: Supports pharmaceutical research, development, and commercialization through simulation, modeling, and AI-driven prediction. Its main products include GastroPlus®, ADMET Predictor®, and MonolixSuite™, along with tools like DDDPlus™, MembranePlus™, DILIsym®, and others for disease modeling and training. The company also advances partnerships with institutions like the FDA, NIEHS, PAS, and SACF to drive innovation in virtual drug testing, chemical safety, and AI-enabled discovery.

•Services: Advanced consulting services across the drug development lifecycle. Its scientists and engineers specialize in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug modeling, and regulatory strategy, supporting clients from discovery through clinical development.

The CODM reviews revenue and gross profit to evaluate current-period performance versus budget and prior periods at each reportable segment and assesses management performance for purposes of annual incentive compensation. Gross profit is defined as revenue less cost of revenue incurred by the segment.

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the reportable segments. The Company does not allocate assets at the reportable segment level, as these are managed on an entity-wide group basis and, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by segment. The Company does not allocate operating expenses (R&D, S&M, and G&A) that are managed on an entity-wide group basis and, accordingly, the Company does not allocate and report operating expenses at a segment level. There are no intersegment revenue transactions between the Company’s segments. Other segment items for each segment primarily include depreciation, income tax expense, and other income not reviewed by the CODM at the segment level. These are not allocated to segments and are presented below segment gross profit.
There are no differences in measurement between the segment profit measure used by CODM and consolidated (loss) income before income taxes. The following schedule reconciles the total of reportable segments’ gross profit and significant expenses to consolidated income (loss) before income taxes.

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.
