Note 8 - Segment Reporting

 

The Company currently operates in two segments for purposes of segment reporting: (1) “Collaboration Products,” which represents the Oblong Industries business surrounding our Mezzanine™ product offerings, and (2) “Managed Services,” which represents the Oblong business surrounding managed services for network solutions and video collaboration. The revenue recorded from the Company's digital assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, is included in Corporate. The Company will continue to monitor the digital asset activity and create a new segment if it is deemed appropriate.

 

In 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2023-07. ASU 2023-07 created certain additional disclosure requirements, including, among other requirements, disclosure of the Company’s Significant Segment Expenses (“SSEs”) regularly provided to the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, a required disclosure for other segment items and a narrative description of such items, a disclosure of the title and the position of the CODM and a narrative disclosure describing how the CODM uses the reported segment profit or loss measures to assess segment performance and allocate resources.

 

The CODM for both segments for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 2025, and 2024, was Pete Holst, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. As part of the adoption of ASU 2023-07, management reviewed the information provided to the CODM and updated the presentation of such information, including SSEs, to better align with the requirements of ASU 2023-07. Certain prior period segment information has been recast to conform with current-period presentation requirements, including the allocation methodology of bad debt expense, labor and labor-related costs, and certain other segment items to segments. The CDOM reviews assets as a whole entity for decision making.

 

Certain information concerning the Company’s segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, is presented in the following tables (in thousands):

The Company’s SSEs for each segment include direct labor costs and segment-based management expenses (collectively, “labor and labor related”), costs to purchase, store, and ship inventory, and inventory impairments (inventory and inventory related), circuit and network cost of revenue, other non-inventory cost of revenue, research and development costs, and bad debt recovery, as these are specific costs regularly provided to the CODM and used to evaluate segment performance. Other segment items include expenses recorded within cost of revenue and operating expenses, which are not regularly provided to the CODM. The CODM evaluates segment profit each period against historical results, factoring in macroeconomic factors such as the cost of labor and supplies, to assess segment performance.
