Segment and Geographic Information

Note 22:  Segment and Geographic Information

The Company’s Climate Solutions segment provides heat transfer products, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration products and data center cooling solutions to global customers. The Company’s Performance Technologies segment designs and manufactures air-and liquid-cooled technology for vehicular, stationary power, and industrial applications. In addition, the Performance Technologies segment provides advanced thermal solutions to zero-emission and hybrid commercial vehicle and automotive customers and coatings products and application services.

Each operating segment is managed by a president and has separate financial results reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. Financial results, including net sales, gross profit, gross margin and operating income, together with other considerations, are used by the chief operating decision maker in evaluating the performance of each segment and in making decisions on the allocation of resources between the Company’s operating segments.

Effective April 1, 2022, the Company began managing its operations under two operating segments, Climate Solutions and Performance Technologies.  The Climate Solutions segment includes the previously-reported Building HVAC Systems and Commercial and Industrial Solutions (“CIS”) segments, with the exception of CIS Coatings. The Performance Technologies segment includes the previously-reported Heavy Duty Equipment and Automotive segments and the CIS Coatings business.  The segment realignment had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.  Segment financial information for fiscal 2022 has been recast to conform to the current presentation.

Effective April 1, 2024, the Company moved its Coatings business, which was previously managed by and reported within the Performance Technologies segment, under the leadership of the Climate Solutions segment.  Under this refined organizational structure, the Coatings business is better aligned with the Climate Solution’s Heat Transfer Products business, which serves similar HVAC&R markets and customers.  The Company expects that unifying these complementary businesses will allow for it to better focus resources on targeted growth and allow for a more efficient application of 80/20 principles to optimize profit margins and cash flow.  Beginning for fiscal 2025, the Company will report the financial results of the Coatings business within the Climate Solutions segment.

The following is a summary of net sales, gross profit, and operating income by segment. See Note 3 for additional information regarding net sales by product groups within each segment.
