Segments

The internal reporting structure used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and allocate resources determines the basis for our reportable operating segments. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer, and he evaluates operations and allocates resources based on a measure of income from operations. Our operations are organized in two reporting segments that are aligned with key product types and end markets served, Power Transmission Technologies (“PTT”) and Automation & Specialty (“A&S”):

•Power Transmission Technologies - PTT. This segment included the following key product offerings as of March 31, 2022:

oCouplings, Clutches & Brakes. Couplings are the interface between two shafts, which enable power to be transmitted from one shaft to the other. Clutches in this segment are devices that use mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or friction type connections to facilitate engaging or disengaging two rotating members. Brakes are combinations of interacting parts that work to slow or stop machinery. Products in this segment are generally used in heavy industrial applications and energy markets.

oElectromagnetic Clutches & Brakes. Products in this segment include brakes and clutches that are used to electronically slow, stop, engage or disengage equipment utilizing electromagnetic friction type connections. Products in this segment are used in industrial and commercial markets including agricultural machinery, material handling, motion control, and turf & garden.

oGearing. Gears are utilized to reduce the speed and increase the torque of an electric motor or engine to the level required to drive a particular piece of equipment. Gears produced by the Company are primarily utilized in industrial applications.

•Automation & Specialty – A&S. This segment included the following key brands as of March 31, 2022:

oKollmorgen: Provides rotary precision motion solutions, including servo motors, stepper motors, high performance electronic drives and motion controllers and related software, and precision linear actuators. These products are used in advanced material handling, aerospace and defense, factory automation, medical, packaging, printing, semiconductor, robotic and other applications.

oPortescap: Provides high-efficiency miniature motors and motion control products, including brush and brushless DC motors, can stack motors and disc magnet motors. These products are used in medical, industrial power tool and general industrial equipment applications.

oThomson: Provides systems that enable and support the transition of rotary motion to linear motion. Products include linear bearings, guides, glides, lead and ball screws, industrial linear actuators, clutch brakes, precision gears, resolvers and inductors. These products are used in factory automation, medical, mobile off-highway, material handling, food processing and other niche applications.

oJacobs Vehicle Systems (JVS): Provides renowned “Jake Brake” diesel engine braking systems and valve actuation mechanisms for the commercial vehicle market, including compression release, bleeder and exhaust brakes. These products are primarily used in heavy duty Class 8 truck applications (see Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the divestiture of the JVS business).
