Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | SEGMENT INFORMATION We have two reportable segments: IoT Products & Services and IoT Solutions. Effective with the reorganization announcement on October 7, 2020 (see Note 14), our IoT Products & Services business is now structured to include four operating segments, each with a segment manager. There four operating segments include: •Cellular Routers - box devices (fully enclosed) that provide connectivity typically in a place where the device can be plugged in exclusively using cellular communications. •Console Servers - similar to cellular routers except they are exclusively for edge computing installations and data center applications exclusively using cellular communications. •OEM Solutions - Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM") will be a chip, rather than a boxed device. This can come in the form of a stand-alone chip, or from a systems-on-module ("SOMs"). While cellular connectivity is used, other communication protocols can be used such as Zigbee, Bluetooth or Radio-Frequency ("RF") based on application. •Infrastructure Management - includes battery operated, cellular enabled connect sensors as well as other types of console server applications that are more Digi Accelerated Linux ("DAL") based than Console Servers. This operating segment has some products that do not use cellular communications, but a large part of this segment does use cellular communications. 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED) The four operating segments have similar qualitative and quantitative factors which allow us to aggregate them under the IoT Products & Services reportable segment. The qualitative factors include similar nature of products and services, production process, type or class of customers and methods used to distribute the products. The quantitative factors include similar operating margins. Our CODM reviews and makes business decisions which includes a primary review of operating income but also includes gross profit. Thus, our measure of segment measure of profit or loss used by our CODM changed. The shared general and administrative costs are now allocated to each operating segment. As a result, our disclosed measure of segment operating income has been updated for all periods presented. The change to the business segment operating income aligns with the update to how the CODM assesses performance and allocates resources for our business segments. Summary operating results for each of our segments were (in thousands):
