14. Segment information

The Company has five reportable segments: retail, bulk, services, manufacturing and corporate. The retail segment operates the water utility for the Seven Mile Beach and West Bay areas of Grand Cayman pursuant to an exclusive license granted by the Cayman Islands government. The bulk segment supplies potable water to government utilities in Grand Cayman and The Bahamas under long-term contracts. The services segment designs, constructs and sells water infrastructure and provides management and operating services to third parties. The manufacturing segment manufactures and services a wide range of custom and specialized water-related products applicable to commercial, municipal and industrial water production, supply and treatment. The corporate segment consists of various expenses of a general and administrative nature incurred at the parent company level, as well as the expenses incurred by Aquilex, a U.S. subsidiary that provides financial, engineering, information technology, administrative and supply chain management support services to all the Company’s subsidiaries and its affiliate.

Frederick W. McTaggart, Chief Executive Officer and President, is the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).

For the retail, bulk, services, and manufacturing segments, the CODM uses revenue, gross profit, and income before income taxes to assess segment performance and in deciding the allocation of resources to each segment. The CODM considers actual versus budget and current period versus prior period variances on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis for each of these financial measures. The CODM also considers variances from the budget and the prior period for major corporate expenses (such as employee costs, insurance and professional fees) when making decisions regarding capital and resource allocation.

The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 2. All intercompany transactions are eliminated for segment presentation purposes. Intersegment revenue transactions are insignificant to the Company and are eliminated. Segment information previously disclosed in 2023 did not separately disclose those expenses currently reported in the corporate segment, as such expenses were previously included in the retail segment. The 2023 segment information provided herein has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

The Company’s segments are strategic business units that are managed separately because each segment sells different products and/or services, serves customers with distinctly different needs and generates different gross profit margins.

The following sets forth the Company’s income statements by segment.
