SEGMENT REPORTING

M.SEGMENT REPORTING

ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

We operate manufacturing, treating and distribution facilities internationally, but primarily in the United States. Effective January 1, 2020, we re-organized around the markets we serve rather than geography. The prior periods have been recast to reflect the new segment structure. The business segments align with the following markets: UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Construction and UFP Industrial. This change allows for a more specialized and consistent sales approach among Company operations, more efficient use of resources and capital, and quicker introduction of new products and services. We manage the operations of our individual locations primarily through a market-centered reporting structure under which each location is included in a business unit and business units are included in our Retail, Industrial, and Construction segments. One customer, The Home Depot, accounted for approximately 24%of our total net sales in fiscal 2020 and 19% in 2019 and 2018.

The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our Mexico, Canada, Europe, and Australia operations and sales and buying offices in other parts of the world and our Ardellis segment, which represents our wholly owned fully licensed captive insurance company based in Bermuda. Our International and Ardellis segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds in order to be separately reported and accordingly, the International and Ardellis segments have been aggregated in the “All Other” segment for reporting purposes.

“Corporate” includes purchasing, transportation and administrative functions that serve our operating segments. Operating results of Corporate primarily consists of over (under) allocated costs. The operating results of UFP Real Estate, Inc., which owns and leases real estate, and UFP Transportation Ltd., which owns and leases transportation equipment, are also included in the Corporate column. An inter-company lease charge is assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets at fair market value rates. Total assets of the Corporate column include unallocated cash and cash equivalents, certain prepaid assets, certain property, equipment and other assets pertaining to the centralized activities of Corporate, UFP Real Estate, Inc., and UFP Transportation Ltd.
