Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
SEGMENT INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS | SEGMENT INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS As of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017, we determined that we now have two reportable operating segments for purposes of ASC 280-10-50 "Segment Reporting": (1) M2M, and (2) Solutions. This determination was made by considering both qualitative and quantitative information. The qualitative information considered during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 included, but was not limited to, the following: the nature of the products 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS (CONTINUED) and services and customers differ between the two segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) started reviewing both segments’ operating results separately and now makes decisions about the allocation of resources, and discrete financial information is available through operating income (loss) for both segments. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the recently acquired Solutions entities financial systems were integrated allowing for the review of discrete financial information for the Solutions segment. In addition, based on current expectations, we now expect the Solutions segment to meet the quantitative thresholds for a separate reporting segment. The financial results of the Solutions entities were previously considered not to meet the quantitative thresholds for a separate reporting segment. Our segments are described below: M2M Our M2M segment is composed of the following communications products and development services:
• | Cellular routers and gateways;
• | Radio frequency (RF) which include our XBee® modules as well as other RF solutions;
• | Embedded products include Digi Connect® and Rabbit® embedded systems on module and single board computers;
• | Network products, which has the highest concentration of mature products, including console and serial servers and USB connected products;
• | Digi Wireless Design Services;
• | Digi Remote Manager®; and
• | Support services which offers various levels of technical services for development assistance, consulting and training.
Solutions We have formed the Solutions segment primarily through four acquisitions: the October 2015 acquisition of Bluenica, the November 2016 acquisition of FreshTemp, the January 2017 acquisition of SMART Temps and the October 2017 acquisition of TempAlert, LLC (TempAlert). Because the acquisition of TempAlert was subsequent to September 30, 2017, it's results are not included in our Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements). Our Solutions segment offers wireless temperature and other environmental condition monitoring services as well as employee task management services. These products and services are provided to food service, transportation, education, healthcare and pharma, and industrial markets and are marketed as Digi Smart Solutions™. We measure our segment results primarily by reference to revenue and operating income (loss). Solutions revenue includes both product and service revenue. Certain costs incurred at the corporate level are allocated to our segments. These costs include information technology, employee benefits and shared facility services. The information technology and shared facility costs are allocated based on headcount and the employee benefits costs are allocated based on compensation costs. Summary operating results for each of our segments were as follows (in thousands):
