NOTE 14—SEGMENT REPORTING

We define reportable and operating segments on the same basis that we use to evaluate our performance internally by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which we have determined is our Chief Executive Officer. We have three operating segments: RH Segment, Waterworks and Real Estate. The RH Segment and Waterworks operating segments (the “retail operating segments”) include all sales channels accessed by our customers, including sales through retail locations and outlets, including hospitality, websites, Sourcebooks, and the Trade and Contract channels. The Real Estate segment represents operations associated with certain of our equity method investments and consolidated VIEs that have operations, which are not directly related to the activities of the retail operating segments.

The retail operating segments are strategic business units that offer products for the home furnishings customer. While RH Segment and Waterworks have a shared senior leadership team and customer base, we have determined that their results cannot be aggregated as they do not share similar economic characteristics, as well as due to other quantitative factors.

Segment Information

The CODM uses segment adjusted operating income to evaluate segment profitability for the retail operating segments and to allocate resources and analyze variances of actual performance to our forecasts when making decisions. Operating income is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense—net, other (income) expense—net, income tax expense (benefit) and our share of equity method investments (income) loss—net. Segment adjusted operating income excludes (i) non-cash compensation amortization related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020 and (ii) legal settlements. These items are excluded from segment adjusted operating income in order to provide better transparency of segment operating results. Accordingly, these items are not presented by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that the CODM and our senior leadership team review.

Segment net revenues, which represent our disaggregated net revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, significant segment expenses and segment adjusted operating income, by reportable segment, were as follows:
