Information on Reportable Segments and Corporate Expense
We are a diversified, global supplier of highly specialized, engineered solutions with operations in 16 countries and sales in over 100 countries around the world.
In determining our reportable segments, we apply the threshold criteria of the Segment Reporting Topic of the Codification. We have aggregated our operating segments into the following two reportable segments: HVAC and Detection and Measurement. The factors considered in determining our aggregated segments are the economic similarity of the businesses, the nature of products sold or services provided, production processes, types of customers, distribution methods, and regulatory environment.
Our CODM, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, uses segment income to evaluate the results of each operating segment. Segment income is determined before considering, if applicable, impairments and special charges, long-term incentive compensation, certain other operating income/expense, other indirect corporate expenses, intangible asset amortization expense, inventory step-up charges, and certain other acquisition and integration-related costs. There have been no changes in the basis of segmentation or measurement of segment income during 2025. Our CODM assesses segment income performance in comparison to prior years, previously forecasted results, and anticipated/experienced market trends when determining how to allocate operating and capital resources. The only significant segment expense categories reviewed by our CODM are total selling, general and administrative expense and cost of products sold (exclusive of intangible amortization expense). Our CODM does not review asset or liability information for our operating segments as this information is not used to assess performance or allocate resources.

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.
