17. Segment Data

The Company’s operations are comprised of two reportable segments: the sale of CEWs, accessories and other products and services (the “TASER Weapons” segment); and the video business, which includes the TASER Cam, AXON video products and EVIDENCE.com (the “EVIDENCE.com & Video” segment). The Company includes only revenues and costs directly attributable to the EVIDENCE.com & Video segment in that segment. Included in EVIDENCE.com & Video segment costs are: costs of sales for both products and services, overhead allocation based on direct labor, selling expense for the video sales team, video product management expenses, video trade shows and related expenses, and research and development for products included in the EVIDENCE.com & Video segment. All other costs are included in the TASER Weapons segment. The CODM does not review assets by segment as part of the financial information provided; therefore, no asset information is provided in the following tables.
