Reportable Business Segments
3. Reportable Business Segments:

Description of Segments

We operate in two reportable business segments of the HVACR industry. Our segments are organized primarily by the nature of the products and services we provide. The following table describes each segment:

Prior to January 1, 2023, we operated in three reportable business segments. In November 2022, we announced the decision to explore strategic alternatives for our European commercial HVAC and refrigeration businesses. We continue to invest in our Heatcraft Worldwide Refrigeration business which is included in the Building Climate Solutions segment. The consolidation of our Heatcraft business within the Building Climate Solutions segment provides the opportunity to leverage synergies and create long-term growth opportunities by integrating entities with similar products, end consumers and financial performance metrics under the same management. The change in segment reporting better aligns with how the businesses are managed and evaluated given the change in portfolio.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we successfully completed the divestiture of our European operations, which until that time, were presented with the Corporate and Other segment.

Segment Data

We use segment profit or loss as the primary measure of profitability to evaluate operating performance and to allocate capital resources. We define segment profit or loss as a segment’s income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, excluding certain items. The reconciliation in the table below details the items excluded.

Our corporate costs include those costs related to corporate functions such as legal, internal audit, treasury, human resources, tax compliance and senior executive staff. Any intercompany sales and associated profit (and any other intercompany items) are eliminated from segment results. There were no significant intercompany eliminations for the periods presented.

The chief operating decision maker uses segment profit or loss from operations before interest and income taxes, excluding certain items, to allocate resources (including employees, financial, or capital resources) for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The chief operating decision maker considers budget-to-actual variances in segment profit or loss and its individual components on a monthly basis when evaluating segment performance and making decisions about allocating resources to the segments.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is Alok Maskara, Chief Executive Officer.
Key financial information for each segment is shown below (in millions):
