Segment Data

We design, manufacture and market orthopedic reconstructive products; sports medicine, biologics, extremities and trauma products; CMFT products; surgical products; and a suite of integrated digital and robotic technologies that leverage data, data analytics and artificial intelligence. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM allocates resources to achieve our operating profit goals through three operating segments. These operating segments, which also constitute our reportable segments, are Americas; EMEA; and Asia Pacific.

Our CODM evaluates performance based upon segment operating profit exclusive of operating expenses and income pertaining to certain inventory and manufacturing-related charges, intangible asset amortization, goodwill and intangible asset impairment, restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives, acquisition, integration, divestiture and related, certain litigation, certain European Union Medical Device Regulation expenses, other charges and corporate functions (collectively referred to as “Corporate items”). Corporate functions include corporate legal, finance, information technology, human resources and other corporate departments as well as stock-based compensation and certain operations, distribution, quality assurance, regulatory expenses, research and development and marketing expenses. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated from segment operating profit. In addition to evaluating performance on a monthly basis, the CODM uses sales and operating profit information to manage the business, including identifying areas of focus and growth, reviewing operating trends and allocating resources. Our CODM reviews accounts receivables and inventory assets (“Segment Assets”) as part of operating segment performance.

Our Americas operating segment is comprised principally of the U.S. and includes other North, Central and South American markets. Our EMEA operating segment is comprised principally of Europe and includes the Middle East and African markets. Our Asia Pacific operating segment is comprised principally of Japan, China and Australia and includes other Asian and Pacific markets. The Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific operating segments include the commercial operations as well as regional headquarter expenses to operate in those markets. Our operating segments do not include many centralized, product category expenses such as R&D and global marketing that benefit all regions.

We reclassified certain immaterial prior period expenses to conform to the current year presentation.

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.
