Segment Reporting

Ciena has the following operating segments for reporting purposes: (i) Networking Platforms; (ii) Platform Software and Services; (iii) Blue Planet Automation Software and Services; and (iv) Global Services. During fiscal 2019, Ciena separated its previous Software and Software-Related Services segment into two stand-alone operating segments. Because Ciena previously disclosed its Platform Software and Services and Blue Planet Automation Software and Services as distinct product lines in its presentation of segment revenue for Software and Software-Related Services, there is no significant change to the presentation of segment revenues as a result of this separation. Comparative periods have been retrospectively adjusted to disclose segment profit for Platform Software and Services and Blue Planet Automation Software and Services. See Note 3 to Ciena’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this report.

Ciena's long-lived assets, including equipment, building, furniture and fixtures, finite-lived intangible assets and maintenance spares, are not reviewed by Ciena's chief operating decision maker for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources. As of January 31, 2020, equipment, building, furniture and fixtures, net, totaled $277.7 million, and operating right of use assets, net totaled $50.1 million, primarily supporting asset groups within Ciena’s Networking Platforms, Platform Software and Services and Blue Planet Automation Software and Services segments and supporting Ciena’s unallocated selling and general and administrative activities. As of January 31, 2020, $17.9 million of Ciena’s intangible assets, net were assigned to asset groups within Ciena’s Networking Platforms segment and $107.7 million of Ciena’s intangible assets, net were assigned to asset groups within Ciena’s Blue Planet Automation Software and Services segment. As of January 31, 2020, $65.7 million, $156.2 million and $89.0 million of Ciena’s Goodwill was assigned to asset groups within Ciena’s Networking Platforms, Platform Software and Services and Blue Planet Automation Software and Services segments, respectively. As of January 31, 2020, all of the maintenance spares, net, totaling $54.9 million, were assigned to asset groups within Ciena’s Global Services segment.
