OPERATING SEGMENTS

10. OPERATING SEGMENTS

We manage and measure performance of our business in four distinct operating segments: Communications, Residential,Commercial & Industrial, and Infrastructure Solutions.These segments are reflective of how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its President.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. We evaluate performance based on income from operations of the respective business units prior to the allocation of Corporate office expenses. Transactions between segments are eliminated in consolidation. Our Corporate office provides general and administrative as well as support services to our four operating segments. Management allocates costs between segments for selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation expense.

Segment information for the years ended September 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:
