NOTE 11 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

HD Supply’s operating segments are based on management structure and internal reporting. Each segment offers different products and services to the end customer, except for HD Supply Canada, which is organized based on geographic location and Corporate, which provides general corporate overhead support. Both HD Supply Canada and Corporate are included within “Corporate & Other.” The Company determines the reportable segments in accordance with the principles of segment reporting within ASC 280, Segment Reporting. For purposes of evaluation under these segment reporting principles, the Chief Operating Decision Maker for HD Supply assesses HD Supply’s ongoing performance, based on the periodic review and evaluation of Net sales, Adjusted EBITDA, and certain other measures for each of the operating segments.

HD Supply has four reportable segments, each of which is presented below:

· Facilities Maintenance—Facilities Maintenance distributes maintenance, repair and operations (‘‘MRO’’) products, provides value-add services and fabricates custom products to multifamily, hospitality, healthcare and institutional facilities.

· Waterworks—Waterworks distributes complete lines of water and wastewater transmission products, serving contractors and municipalities in the water and wastewater industries for non-residential and residential uses.

· Power Solutions—Power Solutions distributes electrical transmission and distribution products, power plant MRO supplies and smart-grid products, and arranges materials management and procurement outsourcing for the power generation and distribution industries.

· Construction & Industrial - White Cap—Construction & Industrial distributes specialized hardware, tools, engineered materials and safety products to non-residential and residential contractors.

In addition to the reportable segments, our consolidated financial results include ‘‘Corporate & Other.’’ Corporate & Other is comprised of the following operating segments: Hardware Solutions, Interior Solutions, Home Improvement Solutions and HD Supply Canada. Hardware Solutions (previously known as Crown Bolt) is a retail distribution operator providing program and packaging solutions, sourcing, distribution, and in-store service, fasteners, builders’ hardware, rope and chain and plumbing accessories, primarily serving Home Depot and other hardware stores. Interior Solutions (previously known as Creative Touch Interiors) offers turnkey supply and installation services for multiple interior finish options, including flooring, cabinets, countertops, and window coverings, along with comprehensive design center services for non-residential, residential and senior living projects. Home Improvement Solutions (previously known as Repair & Remodel) offers light remodeling and construction supplies, kitchen and bath cabinets, windows, plumbing materials, electrical equipment and other products, primarily to small remodeling contractors and trade professionals. HD Supply Canada is an industrial distributor that primarily focuses on servicing fasteners/industrial supplies markets operating across six Canadian provinces. Corporate & Other also includes costs related to our centralized support functions, which are comprised of finance, information technology, human resources, legal, supply chain and other support services, and removes inter-segment transactions.
