Segment Information |
Segment Information | ​ Note 8 – 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 products or services of each segment, see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in Seaboard’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In the third quarter of 2021, Seaboard’s CT&M segment increased its ownership interest in a feed manufacturer and hog producer in Ecuador from 50% to 80% to obtain control of the entity. Total consideration for the purchase price of this additional ownership interest included approximately $7 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired and Seaboard’s previously held equity interest and pre-existing affiliate trade receivables remeasured at their acquisition date fair values. The preliminary purchase price allocation primarily included working capital and property, plant and equipment. The following tables present Seaboard’s sales disaggregated by revenue source and segment: ​

​ The following tables present Seaboard’s operating income (loss) and income (loss) from affiliates by segment. Operating income (loss) for segment reporting is prepared on the same basis as that used for consolidated operating income. Operating income (loss), 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 benefit (expense) on a segment basis. Administrative services provided by the corporate office are allocated to the individual segments and represent corporate services rendered to and costs incurred for each specific segment, with no allocation to individual segments of general corporate management oversight costs. ​

​ The following tables present total assets by segment and the investments in and advances to affiliates by segment. Corporate assets primarily include cash and short-term investments, other current assets related to deferred compensation plans, long-term investments and other miscellaneous items. Corporate operating results represent certain operating costs not specifically allocated to individual segments and include costs related to Seaboard’s deferred compensation plans, which are offset by the effect of the mark-to-market adjustments on these investments recorded in other investment income (loss), net. ​
