Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
BUSINESS SEGMENTS | BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Company’s business is classified into five reportable operating segments: the Capital Markets segment, Wealth Management segment, Financial Consulting segment, Communications segment, and Consumer Products segment. These reportable segments are all distinct businesses, each with a different marketing strategy and management structure. During the fourth quarter of 2023, management reassessed the Company's previously reported Consumer segment due to organizational changes and financial information provided to the CODM. These changes resulted in Targus’ operations being reported on a stand alone basis in the Consumer Products segment and the operations related to brand licensing that was previously reported in the Consumer segment being reported in the All Other Category that is reported with Corporate and Other. The Great American Group discontinued operations, as discussed in Note 4, resulted in changes to the Financial Consulting segment and the elimination of the Auction and Liquidation segment as of September 30, 2024. As a result of the changes discussed above, the Company has recast the financial data for the segments and reporting of the All Other Category for all periods presented. The following is a summary of certain financial data for each of the Company’s reportable segments:
