G.       SEGMENT REPORTING

We operate manufacturing, treating and distribution facilities internationally, but primarily in the United States. Our business segments consist of UFP Retail Solutions, UFP Packaging (formerly known as UFP Industrial) and UFP Construction and align with the end markets we serve. This segment structure allows for a specialized and consistent sales approach among Company operations, 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, Packaging, and Construction segments. In the case of locations which serve multiple segments, results are allocated and accounted for by segment.

The exception to this market-centered reporting and management structure is our International segment, which comprises our Mexico, Canada, Europe, India, 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 consist of net sales to external customers initiated by UFP Purchasing and UFP Transportation and over (under) allocated costs. The operating results of UFP Real Estate, Inc., which owns and leases real estate, and UFP Transportation Ltd., which owns, leases and operates transportation equipment, are also included in the Corporate column. Inter-company lease and service charges are assessed to our operating segments for the use of these assets and services at fair market value rates. Total assets in 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., UFP Transportation, Inc., UFP Purchasing, Inc., and UFP RMS, LLC.
