Note 15: Segments

 

We are required to report segment information in the same way that we internally organize our business for assessing performance and making decisions regarding allocation of resources. Revenue and operating income of each of our segments are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. Segment operating income is identified as gross profit less SG&A expenses. Corporate expenses, other than those included in Corporate Unallocated, are allocated to each operating segment. Consistent with our internal management reporting, Corporate Unallocated amounts include business acquisition and integration costs, organizational restructuring charges and project costs associated with implementing a global Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system that we refer to as Project ONE.  Corporate assets are not allocated to the operating segments. Inter-segment revenues are recorded at cost plus a markup for administrative costs.

 

As of November 30, 2024, our three operating segments consisted of Hygiene, Health and Consumable Adhesives, Engineering Adhesives and Construction Adhesives. As of the beginning of fiscal 2025, we reorganized our operating segments by selling our North American Flooring business (“NA Flooring”), previously part of the Construction Adhesives operating segment, and combining our Insulated Glass, Woodworking and Composite businesses, previously part of the Engineering Adhesives operating segment, with Construction Adhesives Roofing and Building Envelope and Infrastructure businesses to form the newly named Building Adhesive Solutions operating segment. All financial results related to NA Flooring have been moved to our Corporate Unallocated segment. Prior period segment information has been recast retrospectively to reflect the realignment. Operating results of each of these segments are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. 

 

The table below provides certain information regarding net revenue and operating income (loss) for each of our operating segments.
