Segment Information Segment Information
The Company provides operating results in four reportable segments: GovDeals, Capital Assets Group (CAG), Retail Supply Chain Group (RSCG), Machinio. The Company's reportable segments constituted over 99% of the Company's revenue for the year ended September 30, 2019. Descriptions of our reportable segments are as follows:

The GovDeals reportable segment provides self-directed service solutions in which Sellers list their own assets, and it consists of marketplaces that enable local and state government entities including city, county and state agencies, as well as commercial businesses located in the United States and Canada to sell surplus and salvage assets. GovDeals also offers a suite of services to Sellers that includes asset sales and marketing. This segment includes the Company's GovDeals.com and AuctionDeals.com marketplaces.

The CAG reportable segment provides full-service solutions to Sellers and it consists of marketplaces that enable commercial businesses to sell surplus, salvage, and scrap assets. CAG also offers a suite of services that includes surplus management, asset valuation, asset sales and marketing. Commercial Sellers are located in the United States, Europe, Australia and Asia. This segment includes the Company's Network International and GoIndustry DoveBid marketplaces. Prior to the conclusion of the Scrap and Surplus Contracts (see Note 3), CAG sold surplus and scrap assets from the DoD on its Government Liquidation marketplace.

The RSCG reportable segment consists of marketplaces that enable corporations located in the United States and Canada to sell surplus and salvage consumer goods and retail capital assets. RSCG also offers a suite of services that includes returns management, asset recovery, and e-commerce services. This segment includes the Company's Liquidation.com, Liquidation.com DIRECT, and Secondipity marketplaces.

The Machinio reportable segment operates a global online platform for listing used equipment for sale in the construction, machine tool, transportation, printing and agriculture sectors. Machinio was acquired by the Company on July 10, 2018.

We also report results of Corporate & Other, which combines two previously existing operating segments that did not meet the quantitative thresholds to be reportable segments, IronDirect and TruckCenter, with corporate activity and elimination adjustments. The Company exited the TruckCenter business in January 2017 and exited the IronDirect business in January 2019.
Decisions concerning the allocation of the Company’s resources are made by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), which is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, with oversight by the Board of Directors. The Company reports segment information based on the internal performance measures used by the CODM to assess the performance of each operating segment in a given period. In connection with that assessment, the CODM uses segment gross profit to evaluate the performance of each segment. Gross profit is calculated as total revenue less cost of goods sold and seller distributions.
