SEGMENT INFORMATION |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | 21. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates in two reportable segments: CSI Solar, focused on solar modules and battery energy storage manufacturing and products, and Recurrent Energy, focused on utility-scale solar power and battery energy storage project development and operation. ​ The segments are determined in accordance with the management approach under ASC280. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), identified as the Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviews financial performance of CSI Solar and Recurrent Energy primarily through revenues, gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations and interest by segment to assess performance and allocate resources. Intersegment transactions, such as the sale of solar modules, EPC services, and battery storage systems from CSI Solar to Recurrent Energy, are conducted on terms comparable to those with unaffiliated third parties and are eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not review balance sheet information by segment and therefore does not present segment assets and liabilities. The segment structure is evaluated regularly to ensure consistency with internal management reporting and to reflect any organizational changes or changes in how the CODM allocates resources and evaluates performance. ​ 21. SEGMENT INFORMATION (Continued) ​ The following table summarizes the segment financial results for CSI Solar and Recurrent Energy, including revenues, gross profit, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations and interest by segment. Intersegment eliminations reflect transactions between the two segments, including sales of modules, battery energy storage products and EPC, which are eliminated in consolidation. Unallocated items represent corporate-level income and expenses not directly attributable to either segment and include corporate overhead, professional service fees, and other centralized functions. ​
