18. Segment Information

The Company organizes its reportable segments based on how management analyzes performance, allocates capital, and makes strategic and operational decisions. These segments were determined in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The segments are aligned around similar product applications serving our key end markets, to enhance focus on end market growth strategies. The Company’s operating segments engage in business activities from which they earn revenues and incur expenses, have discrete financial information available, and whose financial results are regularly reviewed and used by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment performance, allocate resources, and determine management incentive compensation. The Audio segment aggregates two operating segments into one reportable segment based on similar product applications serving our key end markets. The PD segment has one operating segment, which equals its reportable segment. The Company's two reportable segments are as follows:

• Audio Segment
Our Audio group designs and manufactures innovative audio products, including microphones, balanced armature speakers, and audio processors used in applications that serve the mobile, hearing health, True Wireless Stereo, Internet of Things, and computing markets. Audio has sales, support, and engineering facilities in North America, Europe, and Asia, as well as manufacturing facilities in Asia.

• PD Segment
Our PD group specializes in the design and delivery of high performance capacitor products and RF solutions for technically demanding applications. Our high performance capacitor products are used in applications such as power supplies and medical implants, which sell to a diverse set of customers for mission critical applications across the defense, medtech, industrial, electric vehicle, and communications markets. Our RF solutions solve a broad range of frequency filtering challenges for our customers, who use them in satellite communications and radar systems for defense applications. RF solutions are also used in mmWave 5G communications equipment. PD has sales, support, and engineering facilities in North America, Europe, and Asia as well as manufacturing facilities in North America and Asia.
