21 - Segment and Geographic Information
The Company operates as a single operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The CODM regularly reviews income and expense items at the consolidated company (reporting segment) level and uses both operating income and net income to evaluate income generated to conclude whether and how to reinvest profits into the entity’s operations, shareholder return, acquisitions or otherwise. Both operating income and net income are also used to monitor budget versus actual results, forecasted information and in competitive analysis.
The following table presents selected financial information with respect to the Company's single operating segment for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024:
