NOTE K – SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
Nathan’s considers itself to be a brand marketer of the Nathan’s Famous signature products to the foodservice industry pursuant to its various business structures. Nathan’s sells its products directly to consumers through its restaurant system of Company-operated and franchised restaurants, to distributors that resell our products to the foodservice industry through the Branded Product Program (“BPP”) and by
third
party manufacturers pursuant to license agreements that sell our products to club stores and grocery stores nationwide. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) who evaluates performance and allocates resources for the Branded Product Program, Product Licensing and Restaurant Operations segments based upon a number of factors, the primary profit measure being income from operations. Certain costs are
not
allocated to the segments and are reported within Corporate.
 
Branded Product Program
– This segment derives revenue principally from the sale of hot dog products either directly to foodservice operators or to various foodservice distributors who resell the products to foodservice operators.
 
Product licensing
– This segment derives revenue, primarily in the form of royalties, from licensing a broad variety of Nathan’s Famous branded products, including our hotdogs, sausage and corned beef products, frozen French fries and additional products through retail grocery channels and club stores throughout the United States.
 
Restaurant operations
– This segment derives revenue from sale of our products at Company-owned and earns fees and royalties from its franchised restaurants.
 
Revenues from operating segments are from transactions with unaffiliated
third
parties and do
not
include any intersegment revenues.
 
Income from operations attributable to corporate consists principally of administrative expenses
not
allocated to the operating segments such as executive management, finance, information technology, legal, insurance, corporate office costs, corporate incentive compensation and compliance costs.
 
Interest expense, interest income and other income, net are managed centrally at the corporate level, and, accordingly, such items are
not
presented by segment since they are excluded from the measure of profitability reviewed by the CODM.
