Segment Information |
Segment Information | Note 10 – Segment Information Seaboard has six reportable segments: Pork, CT&M, Marine, Sugar and Alcohol, Power and Turkey, each offering a specific product or service. For details on the respective product or services, refer to Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in Seaboard’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2019. Below are segment updates from year-end. During the first quarter of 2020, the CT&M segment finalized the purchase price allocation related to the October 2019 acquisition of ContiLatin del Peru S.A. resulting in the recording of $1 million of intangible assets and no goodwill. The Turkey segment, accounted for using the equity method, represents Seaboard’s investment in Butterball, LLC (“Butterball”). As of March 28, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Butterball had total assets of $1,119 million and $1,038 million, respectively. Butterball’s summarized income statement information was as follows: ​

​ The following tables set forth specific financial information about each segment as reviewed by Seaboard’s management. Operating income for segment reporting is prepared on the same basis as that used for consolidated operating income. Operating income, along with income or loss from affiliates for the Pork, CT&M and Turkey segments, is used as the measure of evaluating segment performance because management does not consider interest, other investment income (loss) and income tax expense on a segment basis. ​
