Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting We organize and manage our business by the following five segments which meet the definition of reportable segments under ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting: Commercial, Live Events, High School Park and Recreation, Transportation, and International. These segments are based on the customer type or geography and are the same as our operating segments/business units. Our chief operating decision-maker (CODM), who is our interim president and chief executive officer, regularly reviews the consolidated financial results in their entirety and the operating segment financial results to the GAAP measure of gross profit. The CODM uses gross profit and considers budget-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CODM also uses segment gross profit for evaluating pricing strategy to assess the performance of each segment by comparing the results of each segment with one another. Assets and capital expenditures are reviewed by the CODM at the consolidated level, rather than segment level, as the information is not used in evaluating segment performance or allocating resources. The CODM has ultimate responsibility for enterprise decisions and making resource allocation decisions for our Company and our segments. Management of each operating segment has the responsibility for operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance within their segment. •Our Commercial business unit primarily consists of sales of our integrated video display systems, digital billboards, Galaxy® and Fuelight™ product lines, and dynamic messaging systems to resellers (primarily sign companies), out-of-home (“OOH”) companies, national retailers, quick-serve restaurants, casinos, shopping centers, cruise ships, commercial building owners, and petroleum retailers. •Our Live Events business unit primarily consists of sales of integrated scoring and video display systems to college and professional sports facilities and convention centers and sales of our mobile display technology to video rental organizations and other live events type venues. •Our High School Park and Recreation business unit primarily consists of sales of scoring systems, Galaxy® displays, and video display systems to primary and secondary education facilities and resellers (primarily sign companies). •Our Transportation business unit primarily consists of sales of intelligent transportation systems dynamic messaging signs for road management, mass transit, and aviation applications and other electronic signage for advertising and way-finding needs, which includes our Vanguard® and Galaxy® product lines and other intelligent transportation systems dynamic message signs, to governmental transportation departments, transportation industry contractors, airlines, and other transportation related customers. •Our International business unit consists of sales of all product lines outside the United States and Canada. In our International business unit, we focus on product lines related to integrated scoring and video display systems for sports and commercial applications, OOH advertising products, architectural lighting, and transportation related products for sale outside of the United States and Canada to the related type of company, including sports and commercial business facilities, OOH companies, and governmental transportation agencies. Our segments follow the same accounting policies as those described in “Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Some expenses or services are not directly allocable to a sale or segment, or the resources and related expenses are shared across business segment areas. These expenses are allocated using estimates and allocation methodologies based on financial measures and professional judgment. Shared or unabsorbed manufacturing costs are allocated to the business unit benefiting most from that manufacturing location’s production capabilities. Shared or unabsorbed costs of domestic field sales and services infrastructure, including most field administrative staff, are allocated to the Commercial, Live Events, High School Park and Recreation, and Transportation business units based on cost of sales. Shared manufacturing, buildings and utilities, and procurement costs are allocated based on payroll dollars, square footage, and various other financial measures in the segment analysis. Assets are not allocated to the segments. Depreciation and amortization are allocated to each segment based on various financial measures; however, some depreciation and amortization are corporate in nature and remain unallocated. We do not maintain information on sales by products; therefore, disclosure of such information is not practical. The following table sets forth certain financial information for each of our five reporting segments for the periods indicated:

We have numerous customers worldwide for sales of our products and services, and no customer accounted for 10 percent or more of net sales; therefore, we are not economically dependent on a limited number of customers for the sale of our products and services. We have numerous raw material and component suppliers, and no supplier accounts for 10 percent or more of our cost of sales; however, we have a complex global supply chain subject to geopolitical and transportation risks and a number of single-source suppliers that could limit our supply or cause delays in obtaining raw materials and components needed in manufacturing.
