Business Segments

2. Business Segments

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

For the Company’s retail operations reportable 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. The Company’s operating segments are aggregated for financial reporting purposes because they 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 operating segments would not provide meaningful additional information.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, which is comprised of Dillard’s Chief Executive Officer and its President. The members of Dillard’s Executive Committee use their experience in the retail industry and extensive and specific knowledge of the Dillard’s businesses when assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

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 consolidated balance sheets.
