Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Note 23. Segment information Woodward’s segments are composed of similar product groupings that serve the same or similar end markets. Based on this approach, Woodward has two reportable segments that are also its operating segments: Aerospace and Industrial, as described below in further detail. Woodward uses segment information internally to manage its business, including the assessment of segment performance and decisions for the allocation of resources between segments. Our Aerospace segment designs, manufactures, and services systems and products for the management of fuel, air, combustion, and motion control. These products include fuel pumps, metering units, actuators, air valves, specialty valves, fuel nozzles, and thrust reverser actuation systems for turbine engines and nacelles, as well as flight deck controls, actuators, servocontrols, motors, and sensors for aircraft. These products are used on commercial and private aircraft and rotorcraft, as well as on military fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft, guided weapons, and other defense systems. Our Industrial segment designs, produces, and services systems and products for the management of energy in the form of fuel, air, fluids, gases, motion, combustion, and electricity. These products include actuators, valves, pumps, fuel injection systems, solenoids, ignition systems, control systems, electronics and software, and sensors. Our products are used on industrial gas turbines (including heavy frame, aeroderivative, and small industrial gas turbines), steam turbines, compressors, and reciprocating engines (including low speed, medium speed, and high-speed engines that operate on various fuels, including natural gas, diesel, heavy fuel oil, and new lower carbon alternative fuels in both single and dual-fuel applications). The equipment on which our products are found is used to: generate power; to extract, distribute, and refine energy sources; to mine other commodities; and to convert fuel to work in transportation and freight (both marine and locomotives), mobile, and industrial equipment applications. Nonsegment expenses consist of corporate office expenses, including compensation, benefits, depreciation, and other administrative costs. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those of the Company. The Aerospace and Industrial segments maintain separate financial information that is reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses forecast-to-actual variances and year-over-year variances on a monthly basis when assessing segment performance and forecasts in deciding how to allocate resources among the segments. The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments based on reportable segment operating profit. In connection with that assessment, Woodward generally excludes matters such as certain charges for restructuring, interest income and expense, certain gains and losses from asset dispositions, or other unusual and/or non-operationally related expenses. A summary of consolidated net sales and segment operating profit by segment follows:
