​ 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. ​

​ The Turkey segment, accounted for using the equity method, represents Seaboard’s investment in Butterball, LLC (“Butterball”). As of April 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Butterball had total assets of $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. Butterball’s summarized income statement information was as follows: ​

​ Since 2010, Seaboard has held warrants, which upon exercise for a nominal price, enable Seaboard to acquire an additional 5% equity interest in Butterball. The warrants qualified for equity treatment under accounting standards and were classified as investments in and advances to affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets. Seaboard could exercise these warrants at any time prior to December 31, 2025, when the warrants would have expired. Butterball had the right to repurchase the warrants for fair market value. The warrant agreement essentially provided Seaboard with a 52.5% economic interest, as these warrants were in substance an additional equity interest. Therefore, Seaboard has historically recorded 52.5% of Butterball’s earnings as income (loss) from affiliates in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. On April 19, 2022, Seaboard exercised these warrants for nominal consideration to acquire the additional 5% percent of the issued and outstanding stock units in Butterball, resulting in no impact to the financial statements. All significant corporate governance matters upon exercise are still to be shared equally between Seaboard and its partner in Butterball. Seaboard did not acquire any new consequential rights upon exercise of the warrants.
