Vertiv Holdings Co

Operating profit (loss) is the primary income measure used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assess segment performance and make operating decisions. Segment performance is assessed exclusive of Corporate and other costs, foreign currency gain (loss), and amortization of intangibles. Corporate and other costs primarily include stock-based compensation, other incentive compensation, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, asset impairments, and costs that support centralized global functions including Finance, Treasury, Risk Management, Strategy & Marketing, IT, Legal, and global product platform development and offering management.

The Company determines its reportable segments based on how operations are managed internally for the products and services sold to customers, including how the results are reviewed by the CODM, which includes determining resource allocation methodologies used for reportable segments. During 2023, we reorganized our internal reporting and realigned our operating segment structure to how our CODM, our Chief Executive Officer, allocates resources and makes decisions. The changes resulted in the identification oftwo new operating segments, 1) India and 2) Asia, which previously were collectively reported as our legacy Australia & New Zealand, South East Asia and India operating segment. Given the similarities of economic characteristics and other qualitative factors, we aggregate these operating segments with Greater China and we report this as our Asia Pacific reportable segment.

In conjunction with the realignment, the Company concluded the new operating segments also comprised reporting units and the company tested goodwill for impairment for each reporting unit both immediately before and immediately after the business realignment. The Company allocated goodwill to thetwo new reporting units based on their relative fair value. The goodwill impairment tests under both the legacy and new reporting unit structures concluded that no impairment existed as of the date of the change.

The segment performance measure excludes corporate and other costs, as described herein. Intersegment selling prices approximate market prices. Summarized information about the Company’s results of operations by reportable business segment and product and service offering follows:
