The following tables present information about the company’s reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, along with the items necessary to reconcile the segment information to the totals reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Prior period segment information is presented on a comparable basis to the basis on which current period segment information is presented and reviewed by the company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). Effective in the fourth quarter of 2023, the company changed certain methodology used when allocating corporate function expenses to the operating segments. The change was made to provide the company’s CODM with a more current representation of segment profitability. The 2023 and 2022 amounts presented reflect the impact of this change.
