Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segments

Note 3. Business Segments

The Company operates in two reportable segments: the operation of retail department stores (“retail operations”) and a general contracting construction company (“construction”).

For the Company’s retail operations segment, the Company determined its operating segments on a store by store basis. Each store’s operating performance has been aggregated into one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes because stores are similar in each of the following areas: economic characteristics, class of consumer, nature of products and distribution methods. Revenues from external customers are derived from merchandise sales, and the Company does not rely on any major customers as a source of revenue. Across all stores, the Company operates one store format under the Dillard’s name where each store offers the same general mix of merchandise with similar categories and similar customers. The Company believes that disaggregating its retail operations segment would not provide meaningful additional information.

The following table summarizes the percentage of net sales by segment and major product line:

The retail operations segment gives rise to contract liabilities through the customer loyalty program associated with Dillard’s private label cards and through the issuances of gift cards. The customer loyalty program liability and a portion of the gift card liability are included in trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, and a portion of the gift card liability is included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our retail operations segment contract liabilities are as follows:
