Reportable Business Segments and International Operations

Note 14—Reportable Business Segments and International Operations

Through December 31, 2021, the Company had two reportable business segments: (i) Interconnect Products and Assemblies and (ii) Cable Products and Solutions. The Company organized its reportable business segments based upon similar economic characteristics and business groupings of products, services, and customers, and did not include any aggregated operating segments. These reportable business segments were determined based upon how the Company operated its businesses, assessed operating performance, made resource allocation decisions, and communicated results,

outlook and strategy to the Board and stockholders. The Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment primarily designed, manufactured and marketed a broad range of connector and connector systems, value-add products and other products, including antennas and sensors, used in a broad range of applications in a diverse set of end markets. The Cable Products and Solutions segment primarily designed, manufactured and marketed cable, value-add products and components for use primarily in the broadband communications and information technology markets, as well as certain applications in other markets. The accounting policies of the segments were the same as those for the Company as a whole, as described in Note 1 herein. The Company evaluated the performance of the segments and allocated resources to them based on, among other things, profit or loss from operations before interest, headquarters’ expense allocations, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, amortization related to certain intangible assets and nonrecurring gains and losses. The Company also provided general corporate services to its reportable business segments, which continued to be reported as “Corporate/Other”, a non-reportable business segment.

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company aligned its businesses into three newly formed reportable business segments: (i) Harsh Environment Solutions, (ii) Communications Solutions and (iii) Interconnect and Sensor Systems. Refer to Note 16 herein for further details related to the Company’s change in its reportable business segments.
