19. Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM, who is the Chief Executive Officer, makes operating decisions, assesses performance and makes resource allocation decisions, including the focus of R&D and other significant expenses, leading to decisions related to resource allocations in relation to profit and loss. Accordingly, the Company identifies two reportable segments.

Effective May 1, 2025, the Company reorganized its segments. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of BlueHalo, the reorganization was implemented to drive additional operational improvements, foster synergies and provide leaders with greater autonomy over their business units. The Company’s reportable segments are Autonomous Systems and Space, Cyber and Directed Energy.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, “Organization and Significant Accounting Policies.” The operating segments sales to each other are eliminated. Effective May 1, 2025, segment adjusted EBITDA is the measure of profitability used by the CODM for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing performance. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as segment (loss) income from operations before depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other non-cash items, including amortization of implementation of cloud computing arrangements, stock-based compensation, and acquisition related expenses. Prior period segment information has been revised to align with the new segment measure of profitability.
