Business Segments

3 Months Ended

Jul. 05, 2020

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company's chief operating decision maker, or CODM (the Company's Chief Executive Officer), changed the manner in which he reviews financial information for purposes of assessing business performance and allocating resources, by focusing on the lines of business on a global basis, rather than on geographic basis. As a result of this change, the Company re-evaluated the identification of its operating segments and reportable segments and identified the following as its three new operating segments, based on lines of business:

•Energy Systems - uninterruptible power systems, or “UPS” applications for computer and computer-controlled systems, as well as telecommunications systems, switchgear and electrical control systems used in industrial facilities and electric utilities, large-scale energy storage and energy pipelines. Energy Systems also includes highly integrated power solutions and services to broadband, telecom, renewable and industrial customers, as well as thermally managed cabinets and enclosures for electronic equipment and batteries.

•Motive Power - power for electric industrial forklifts used in manufacturing, warehousing and other material handling applications, as well as mining equipment, diesel locomotive starting and other rail equipment; and

•Specialty - premium starting, lighting and ignition applications in transportation, energy solutions for satellites, military aircraft, submarines, ships and other tactical vehicles, as well as medical and security systems.

The new operating segments also represent the Company's reportable segments under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. All prior comparative periods presented have been recast to conform to these changes.

Summarized financial information related to the Company's reportable segments for the first quarter ended July 5, 2020 and June 30, 2019, is shown below:

(1) The Company does not allocate interest expense or other (income) expense to the reportable segments.

(2) The Company does not identify or allocate assets by reportable segment, nor does the CODM evaluate reportable segments using discrete asset information.

(3) Reportable segments do not record inter-segment revenues and accordingly there are none to report.

Goodwill

Concurrent with the change in reporting segments effective April 1, 2020, goodwill was reassigned to the affected reporting units that have been identified within each operating segment, using a relative fair value approach outlined in ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.

The following table presents the amount of goodwill that has been reassigned to each of the Company's reportable segments as of April 1, 2020, using the relative fair value approach, as well as any changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment during the first quarter of fiscal 2021:
