Segment Information
Note 15 - Segment Information
The Company reports its segments in four geographic regions: PLP-USA, The Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) and Asia-Pacific in accordance with accounting standards codified in FASB ASC 280, "Segment Reporting". Each segment distributes a full range of the Company’s primary products. The PLP-USA segment is comprised of U.S. operations manufacturing the Company’s traditional products primarily supporting domestic energy, telecommunications and special industries products. The other three segments, The Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific support the Company’s energy, telecommunications, data communication and special industries products in each respective geographical region.
The segment managers responsible for each region report directly to the Company’s Executive Chairman, who is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and are accountable for the financial results and performance of their entire segment for which they are responsible. The business components within each segment are managed to maximize the results of the entire company rather than the results of any individual business component of the segment.
The amount of each segment’s performance reported to the CODM is for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance. The Company evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on several factors primarily based on gross sales and income before income taxes.
One of the Company's measures of performance has changed since our most recently issued Form 10-K filed on March 8, 2024 from income from continuing operations, net of tax to income before income taxes. The current measure of profit is more closely aligned with the how the CODM manages the business components within each segment. Gross sales continues to be used as a measure of performance by the CODM.
The CODM uses both gross sales and income before income taxes for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process as well as monitoring actual results. The CODM considers forecast-to-actual and actual to prior period variances for both measures when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CODM also uses segment sales and income before income taxes for the performance of each segment by comparing the results of each segment with one another and in determining the incentive compensation of certain employees.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1. We have one customer accounting for 11.1% of the Company’s consolidated revenue, generated within the PLP-USA, The Americas, and Asia-Pacific operating segments In certain circumstances, PLP-USA performs all manufacturing and shipping activity to US-based entities on behalf of EMEA, where the sales order is recorded. These sales and related profits have been reclassified for segment purposes only from EMEA to PLP-USA.
The following table presents a summary of the Company’s reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Financial results for the PLP-USA segment include the elimination of all segments’ intercompany profits in inventory.
