Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company's operations are classified into two business segments: Lab Products Group ("LPG") and International. The LPG business segment principally designs, manufactures, and installs scientific and technical furniture, including steel and wood laboratory cabinetry, fume hoods, flexible systems, worksurfaces, workstations, workbenches, and computer enclosures. On November 1, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Nu Aire, whose operating results are reflected in the LPG operations segment, expanding the Company's capabilities through its manufacturing of biological safety cabinets, CO2 incubators, ultralow freezers, and other essential laboratory products. See Note 4, Nu Aire Acquisition, for further information. The International business segment, which consists of the foreign subsidiaries identified in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, provides the Company's products and services, including facility design, detailed engineering, construction, and project management from the planning stage through testing and commissioning of laboratories. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company changed the name of the Domestic reportable segment to Lab Products Group. This change better aligns with the segment's business activities, structure, and strategy. The segment name change had no impact on the composition of the Company's reportable segments or on previously reported financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or segment operating results. The Company's CODM is its CEO, who evaluates the performance of each segment and measures its segment profitability based on earnings before income taxes. Some Corporate expenses, such as those related to executive management, finance, etc., are allocated to the segments. Certain corporate expenses shown below are net of expenses that have been allocated to the business segments. We periodically review these allocations and adjust them based upon changes in business circumstance. Intersegment transactions are recorded at normal profit margins. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The following table shows revenues, earnings, and other financial information by business segment and unallocated corporate expenses for each of the years ended April 30:
