Note 7 – Segment Information

Seaboard has six reportable segments: Pork, CT&M, Marine, Liquid Fuels, Power and Turkey. Seaboard’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as All Other. Each of the six reportable segments is separately managed based on its diverse product or service. All Other primarily represents a sugar and alcohol production and processing operation in Argentina and a jalapeño pepper processing operation in Honduras. There have been no significant segment updates in the first quarter of 2025. For details on each segment’s respective products and services, see Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in Seaboard’s 2024 10-K.

Seaboard’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the CODM. The CODM assesses performance and makes key operating decisions based on total operating income (loss) and income (loss) from affiliates. The CODM uses this measure to compare to historical trends and the forecast to assess segment results, allocate capital, make strategic decisions and identify areas of opportunity. Operating income and income from affiliates for segment reporting is prepared on the same basis as that used for consolidated purposes under U.S. GAAP. The CODM does not receive proportionate consolidation information for equity method investments.

The following tables include certain segment information for the quarter ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, and as of March 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The significant segment expense categories align with the information regularly provided to the CODM.
