Segment reporting
156 staff comments in this corpus, to 107 registrants, across 7 of the 7 calendar quarters this corpus covers.
Coverage is partial and not continuous. This corpus holds CORRESP filings from 2023Q1–2024Q2 (82–96% of each quarter's EDGAR total); 2025Q4 (16% of the 861 CORRESP filings EDGAR indexed that quarter). It holds nothing at all from 2024Q3, 2024Q4, 2025Q1, 2025Q2 or 2025Q3, and nothing filed after 2025-12-31. If an issue page shows no comment from one of those periods, the reason is that edgarwiki has no data for it — not that the staff raised nothing. Counts on this site are counts within this corpus and are not SEC-wide totals. Every quotation is verbatim and links to its filing; what is incomplete is coverage, not accuracy.

3. You disclose in your segment footnote that your “CODM uses Operating Income (Loss) to evaluate income generated from segment resources in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the retail segment or into other parts of the entity, such as to make acquisitions or investments. The CODM also uses Operating Income (Loss) to monitor budget versus actual results. The monitoring of budgeted versus actual results is used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing bonus metrics.” Please discuss in detail how this process works and incorporate your consideration of the importance of Operating Income (Loss) to your CODM into your materiality assessment.

The company responded
We respectfully acknowledge the Staff’s comment. The Company acknowledges that its segment footnote refers to Operating Income (Loss) as a metric shared with its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“ CODM ”). The Company currently has one reportable segment, which is its Retail business. The Retail segment comprises the Company’s Bed Bath & Beyond operating segment and Overstock.com operating segment, which are aggregated into a single reportable segment due to their similar economic characteristics and business activities. The Bed Bath & Beyond operating segment includes results from its buybuy BABY brand, and formerly also included the Zulily brand, which was sold in the first quarter of 2025, neither of which are material to the Company’s business. The Retail segment derives revenue primarily from e-commerce sales of home furnishing merchandise through the Company’s suite of websites and…

2. We note you reorganized the operating segments and classified your operations into three reportable segments: Flow, Water Solutions, and Pool. We also note that the financial information by reportable segment disclosures include an “Other” category, which reconciles to the consolidated amounts. Please note that if your Other category is presented under ASC 280-10-50-15, it does not represent a reportable segment and should be excluded from the reportable segment total. Please revise or tell us how these disclosures appropriately reflect reconciliations of the total of the reportable segments to your consolidated amounts. Refer also to ASC 280-10-50-15 and ASC 280-10-55-48 and 55-49.

As mentioned in the Staff’s comment, the Company has three reportable segments: Flow, Water Solutions, and Pool. We will revise our Note 14 (our “Segment Information” footnote), in future filings, beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2024, to change the “Other” category to “Corporate and other,” clearly state that the “Corporate and other” category does not represent a reportable segment, and exclude “Corporate and other” amounts from our reportable segment totals. Additionally, we will revise our Segment Information footnote in future filings such that the reconciliation of the total reportable segment measure of profit or loss begins with the total reportable segment income, exclusive of “Corporate and other,” in accordance with ASC 280-10-50-15.

1. You present total segment operating income which is a non-GAAP measures and should be reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. However, once reconciled it would appear such a measure may include adjustments that are inconsistent with the applicable non-GAAP guidance. In this regard, adjusting for “Corporate” expenses appears to present non-GAAP measures that exclude normal, recurring, cash operating expenses. Therefore, please revise to remove these measures from your periodic filings or tell us why you believe the measure is properly disclosed.

Comment: We note your presentation of segment operating profit, adjusted segment operating profit and segment adjusted EBITDA, which all appear to be non-GAAP measures. Please tell us how you determined these measures comply with Rule 100(b) of Regulation G. We note that the measures remove corporate overhead and other items, which appear to be normal, recurring, cash operating expenses necessary to operate your business. Refer to Question 100.01 of the SEC’s Non-GAAP Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. Please revise future filings to eliminate segment total measures or tell us how you intend to revise them to comply with Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.

We respectfully note the Staff’s comment. In presenting segment operating profit, adjusted segment operating profit, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA by segment, we noted that none of our adjustments from GAAP to arrive at these non-GAAP measures were expressly prohibited by Regulation G or Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.

Comment: We note your inventory accounting policy disclosure which states that certain merchandisable agricultural commodities inventories, including inventories acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated as market value. We further note from your segment disclosures, that intersegment sales have been recorded at “amounts approximating market”. Please explain why your intersegment sales differ from market value and how you determine such values.

As disclosed in Note 17 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 10-K, “Intersegment sales have been recorded using principles consistent with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers .” Note 17 also disclosed that the Company identified and corrected certain intersegment sales that were not recorded at amounts approximating market. Under ASC 606, entities are required to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. ASC 606-10-32-32 provides that the “standalone selling price is the price at which an entity would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer.” ASC 606-10-32-32 to -34 acknowledge that while the observable price of a good or service is the “best evidence of a standalone selling price,” a standalone selling price is not always readily observable.

As such, please tell us your consideration of the guidance in ASC 280-10-50-1 through 50-5 for the identification of your operating segments and/or reportable segments. Please note that if your Central and Other category is presented under ASC 280-10-50-15, it does not represent a reportable segment and should be excluded from the reportable segment total.

We remind you that reportable segment information presented in your footnote, to comply with ASC 280, is excluded from the definition of a non-GAAP measure as provided in Item 10(e)(5) of Regulation S-K. Given this, the requirement in the segment footnote to reconcile the total of the reportable segments’ measure of profit and loss to consolidated income before income taxes and discontinued operations is prescribed by GAAP, rather than non-GAAP rules and guidance.

32. Since the Minimum Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate is a factor in the calculation of the interest credited at Segment Maturity, reinsert disclosure on the Minimum Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate. Make clear in the disclosure how this factor affects the interest credited at Segment Maturity. Please provide examples to illustrate. For example, if we assume that the Minimum Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate is 1% and Index Performance adjusted for the Participation Rate, Cap, and Segment Adjustment Factor is 2%, would the Minimum Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate not apply? What if this adjusted number is .5%,? Would the application of the Minimum Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate result in the addition of .5% in interest so that a total credit of 1% is applied at the end of the Term? (Also please move under the paragraph immediately below it.)
The company responded
We have reinserted disclosure to address the first portion of the Staff’s comments. Respectfully, at this time the Company has no intentions of offering a different rate. Accordingly, we believe it could be misleading to provide examples illustrating any other rate than currently disclosed. Should the Company determine to change the rate in the future, the prospectus will be supplemented accordingly, and relevant examples will be provided. 33. a. Per previous comment #47 in the March 1 letter, please add disclosure on how the Company will notify investors that a segment is about to mature.

1. We note that your discussion of changes in sales and Adjusted EBITDA by segment includes columns reflecting the amount of variances due to volume/mix, foreign exchange, divestitures and cost (increases) decreases. Please revise future filings to more clearly explain each type of underlying factor as it affects each segment and quantify when there is more than one reason (or offsetting reasons) for the change. For example, the cost (increases) decreases column includes some positive variances and some negative variances for the segments, but your disclosure only includes bullet points disclosing general factors that caused the changes without quantifying or attributing those factors to specific segments. Please revise future filings accordingly.
The company responded
We acknowledge the Staff's comment and advise the Staff that, as part of our regular disclosure controls, we internally quantify the impact of the factors contributing to the changes in our sales and adjusted EBITDA by segment. In order to provide investors with sufficient analysis to understand our segment results of operations, our practice has been to (1) disclose key factors that qualitatively explain the majority of the changes and (2) list key factors in descending order of magnitude. In consideration of the Staff’s comment, we will enhance our disclosures in future filings beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2024. In paragraph format, we will more clearly explain each type of underlying factor as it affects each segment and quantify material underlying factors when there is more than one reason (or offsetting reasons) for the…

We note that you have included a line item titled “Corporate, eliminations and other” as a reconciling item between the total of the reportable segments revenue and consolidated revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA amounts and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. It also appears from your disclosures that this amount may include revenue and expenses from other business activities and operating segments that are not reportable. Please note that under the guidance in ASC 280-10-50-15, these amounts should be included in an “all other” category and should be separate from other reconciling items (i.e. corporate costs or intercompany eliminations) in the reconciliations required by paragraphs ASC 280-10-50-30 through 50-31. The sources of revenue in this “all other” category should also be described. Please revise accordingly.

We acknowledge the Staff’s comment related to "Corporate, eliminations and other" including revenue and expenses from other business activities and operating segments that are not reportable. We advise the Staff that each quarter we review ASC 280 to determine our operating and reportable segments. Utilizing the management approach to perform an analysis of the detailed qualitative and quantitative criteria, as of January 1, 2024, we determined our operating segments to be Sealing Systems, Fluid Handling Systems, and Industrial and Specialty Group ("ISG"). After identifying our operating segments, we assessed which of our operating segments required separate disclosure by considering the guidance in ASC 280-10-50-10. None of the quantitative thresholds outlined in ASC 280-10-50-12 were met for ISG, and we do not believe the information about this segment is material or would be useful…

Although we note that “Business Segment Operating Profits (Loss)” at the segment level represents a required ASC 280 measure, please note that the measure on a total combined basis represents a non-GAAP measure. Accordingly, if you continue to present such measure outside of your consolidated financial statements, please label it as a non-GAAP financial measure and ensure that your presentation and disclosures comply with non-GAAP rules, including Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and the Non-GAAP C&DI’s. Please note, for example, that the measure generally should not exclude normal, recurring, cash operating expenses necessary to operate your business. To the extent applicable, provide us with the proposed disclosures you intend to include in future filings. Also apply this comment to your Form 8-K earnings releases.
The company responded
The Company will revise its disclosures in future filings, including in its Form 8-K earnings release, to clarify that the Company views total business segment operating profit (loss) as a non-GAAP financial measure.

We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of April 1 each year. On April 1, 2023, we performed a qualitative test. The qualitative test was partly informed by quantitative valuations of each of our reporting units performed as of January 1, 2023, in connection with a reorganization of our Defense, Space & Security (“BDS”) reporting units. As of both dates, we determined the fair value of each of our reporting units substantially exceeded their respective carrying values. Our January 1, 2023, quantitative valuations estimated the fair value of each of our reporting units using discounted cash flows and market-based valuation methodologies (such as comparable public company trading values, where appropriate).

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company realigned its reportable segments in connection with a realignment of the Company’s internal organization and management structure. In connection with the segment realignment, the Company also performed an evaluation of its existing reporting units. As part of this evaluation, we referred to ASC 350-20-35-35, which requires that two or more components of an operating segment that have similar economic characteristics be aggregated into a single reporting unit. Specifically, the Company analyzed the aggregation criteria under ASC 280-10-50-11 (as referenced in ASC 350-20-35-35) to determine if two or more reporting units could be aggregated into one reporting unit.

2. You refer to various factors that impacted your segment operating margins, however, you do not quantify the impact of these factors. For example, you state the increase in operating margin for the Electrical Americas segment was due to higher sales volume and net price realization, which was partially offset by higher costs to support growth initiatives, and higher gains from the sale of non-production facilities in 2022. Where a material change is due to two or more factors, including any offsetting factors, please revise throughout your results of operations to include a quantified discussion of each material factor impacting such change, and avoid using terms such as “primarily” in favor of specific quantification. Refer to Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K.

In light of our ongoing efforts to align with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 280, Segment Reporting, and after thorough review of our company’s operational structure and management processes, we continue to determine that our operations constitute a single operating segment. This determination is based on the integrated nature of our ecosystem in the fintech space, and the centralized decision-making process led by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is our Chief Executive Officer.

In accordance with ASC 350, we may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. If an entity elects to perform a qualitative assessment, it first shall assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. One procedure we perform during interim periods to determine whether indicators of impairment are present includes a comparison of net sales used in the most recent quantitative impairment tests to forecasted net sales for the same fiscal year (or balance…

1. We note from your disclosure on page 15 that you reconcile income from operations by segment to Adjusted EBITDA by segment. Please note that income from operations by segment does not appear to be a GAAP financial measure and therefore it would not be appropriate to disclose these amounts by segment or to use as a starting point for the reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Please revise future filings accordingly.
The company responded
The Company notes the Staff’s comment and has considered the requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K as it relates to the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures on page 15 of the Company’s Earnings Release included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K (the “Earnings Release”). We included this disclosure to provide investors with additional information related to adjustments made in each operating segment to calculate Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is the metric our Chief Executive Officer (who is our chief operating decision maker (CODM)), uses to assess operating performance and make resource allocation decisions at the segment level. In doing so, we acknowledge we presented a non-GAAP metric, “segment income from operations,” and did not identify this metric as a non-GAAP financial measure. In future earnings releases, the Company will remove the tables on page 15 in their…

2. We note that in your disclosure of segment profitability you disclose Adjusted EBITDA by segment, and then reconcile that amount to income (loss) loss from operations including equity method investment earnings, by segment. Please tell us which measure is the measure of profitability used by the CODM to measure performance and allocate resources to the segment. Please note that if the segment measure is Adjusted EBITDA, the total of the reportable segments’ Adjusted EBITDA should be reconciled to consolidated income before taxes and each amount of segment Adjusted EBITDA should not be reconciled to another segment profitability measure. See guidance in ASC 280-10-50-27 through 28, and 280-10-50-30.
The company responded
The Company notes the Staff’s comment and has considered the requirements of ASC 280, Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and Question 104.04 of the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (C&DI) as it relates to Note 12, Segments, appearing in the Form 10-Q. The CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance and make resource allocation decisions at the segment level. In Note 12, a reconciliation was prepared in accordance with ASC 280-50-30 to reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP metric. As part of this reconciliation, we presented a subtotal line “income (loss) from operations including equity method investment earnings,” which was included to make it easier for investors to view and use the information presented. In doing so, we acknowledge that we presented a non-GAAP metric without identifying it as a non-GAAP financial measure.…

3. In light of the segment realignment and change to two operating and reportable segments from four operating and reportable segments, please tell us how you have considered disclosing revenue into more detailed categories for purposes of your disaggregated revenue disclosure under ASC 606-10-50-5.
The company responded
The Company notes the Staff’s comment and has considered the requirements of ASC 606-10-50-5, specifically the reporting requirements regarding disaggregation of revenue. This guidance requires an entity to disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Entities also should consider how information about the entity’s revenue has been presented for other purposes, including disclosures presented outside the financial statements, information regularly reviewed by the CODM for evaluating performance of operating segments, and other information used by the entity to evaluate performance or make resource decisions. In accordance with the guidance provided in ASC 606-10-55-91, examples of disaggregated categories could include type of goods or service,…

1. We note you present the measure "Contribution to Profit" in each of the tables on pages 36 to 38 for segment operating results. The presentation of Contribution to Profit appears to represent a non-GAAP financial measure. Please advise and revise to comply with the disclosures requirements outlined in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. Your revised disclosure should include, among other items, a reconciliation with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and the reason(s) why management believes the presentation of the non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors and any additional purposes for which management uses to the non-GAAP financial measure. The reason(s) should be specific to the measure. Company

Additionally, it appears that you are incorporating your August 31, 2023 annual financial statements on Form 10-K into a registration statement on Form S-3. Please tell us how you considered the need to revise your segment reporting financial statement footnote, description of business, MD&A and other Form 10-K disclosures as necessary to reflect the new reportable segments. The revised annual financial statements and related disclosures could be included in the registration statement or in a Form 8-K incorporated by reference.
