Operating segments Operating segments
The Group’s Management has defined operating segments based on the reports that are used to make strategic decisions, analyzed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) - our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), there are six reportable segments: Brazil, Seara, Beef North America, Pork USA, Pilgrim’s Pride and Australia. The segment performance is evaluated by the CODM, based on Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA consists of profit or loss before taxes, applying the same accounting policies described in these financial statements, except for the following adjustments as described below: exclusion of share of profit of equity-accounted investees, net of tax, exclusion of net finance expense, exclusion of depreciation and amortization expenses, exclusion of antitrust agreements expenses, exclusion of donations and social programs expenses, exclusion of impairment of assets expenses, exclusion of restructuring expenses, exclusion of fiscal payments and installments expense, exclusion of Avian influenza expense, exclusion of closure of plants expenses, and exclusion of certain other operating income (expenses), net.
Brazil: this segment includes all the operating activities of the Group, mainly represented by slaughter facilities, cold storage and meat processing, fat, feed and production of cattle by-products such as leather, collagen and other products produced in Brazil. Revenues are generated from the sale of products predominantly to restaurant chains, food processing companies, distributors, supermarket chains, wholesale supermarket and other significant food chains.
Seara: this segment includes all the operating activities of Seara and its subsidiaries, mainly represented by chicken and pork processing, production and commercialization of food products and value-added products. Revenues are generated from the sale of products predominantly to restaurant chains, food processing companies, distributors, supermarket chains, wholesale supermarket and other significant food chains.
Beef North America: this segment includes JBS USA beef processing operations in North America and the plant-based businesses in Europe. Beef also sells by-products to the variety meat, feed processing, fertilizer, automotive and pet food industries and also produces value-added meat products including toppings for pizzas. Finally, Sampco LLC imports processed meats and other foods such as canned fish, fruits and vegetables to the US and Vivera produces and sells plant-based protein products in Europe.
Pork USA: this segment includes JBS USA’s pork operations, including Swift Prepared Foods. Revenues are generated from the sale of products predominantly to retailers of fresh pork including trimmed cuts such as loins, roasts, chops, butts, picnics and ribs. Other pork products, including hams, bellies and trimmings, are sold predominantly to further processors who, in turn, manufacture bacon, sausage, and deli and luncheon meats. In addition, revenues are generated from the sale of case ready products, including the recently acquired TriOak business. As a complement to our pork processing business, we also conduct business through our hog production operations, including thirty-one hog farms and eight feed mills, from which, JBS Lux will source live hogs for its pork processing operations.
Pilgrim’s Pride: this segment includes PPC’s operations, including Moy Park, Tulip and Pilgrim's Consumer Foods as well, mainly represented by chicken processing, production and commercialization of food products and prepared foods in the United States of America, Mexico, United Kingdom and France. The fresh chicken products consist of refrigerated (non-frozen) whole or cut-up chicken, either pre-marinated or non-marinated, and pre-packaged chicken in various combinations of freshly refrigerated, whole chickens and chicken parts. The prepared chicken products include portion-controlled breast fillets, tenderloins and strips, delicatessen products, salads, formed nuggets and patties and bone-in chicken parts. These products are sold either refrigerated or frozen and may be fully cooked, partially cooked or raw. In addition, these products are breaded or non-breaded and either pre-marinated or non-marinated. The segment also generates revenue from the sale of prepared pork products through PPL, a subsidiary acquired by PPC in October 2019. The segment includes PPC’s PFM subsidiary, acquired in September 2021, and generates revenues from branded and private label meats, meat snacks, food-to-go products, and ethnic chilled and frozen ready meals.
Australia: This segment includes our fresh, frozen, value-added and branded beef, lamb, pork and fish products in Australia and New Zealand. The majority of our beef revenues from our operations in Australia are generated from the sale of fresh beef products (including fresh and frozen chuck cuts, rib cuts, loin cuts, round cuts, thin meats, ground beef, offal and other products). This segment also sells value-added and branded beef products (including frozen cooked and pre-cooked beef, corned cooked beef, beef cubes and consumer-ready products, such as hamburgers and sausages). This segment also operates lamb, pork, and fish, processing facilities in Australia and New Zealand including Huon and Rivalea businesses. JBS Australia also generates revenues through their cattle hoteling business. We sell these products in the countries where we operate our facilities, which we classify as domestic sales, and elsewhere, which we classify as export sales.
There are no revenues arising out of transactions with any single customer that represents 10% or more of the total revenues.
The Group manages its loans and financing and income taxes at the corporate level and not by segment.
