15. Business Segment Information

Our operating segments are comprised of:

Parts Supply, primarily consisting of distribution of new parts and sales of used serviceable material, including aircraft, engine and airframe parts and components;
Repair, Engineering, and Software primarily consists of Airframe MRO, Component MRO, and our software platforms, including Trax, Aerostrat, Airvoyant, and Airinmar;
Government Solutions primarily consists of our fleet management and operations of customer-owned aircraft, customized performance-based supply chain logistics programs in support of the DoW, the DoS and foreign governments and the engineering, design, integration, manufacture, and repair of pallets, shelters, and containers; and
Legacy Commercial Programs primarily consists of asset-heavy flight hour-based component repair programs for commercial airlines and distribution of consumables and expendables (“C&E”) inventory.

Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer and he evaluates performance on our operating segments using operating income as the primary profitability measure. Our operating segments are aligned principally around differences in products and services and are consistent with how our CODM allocates resources, assesses performance, and makes decisions.

We have not aggregated operating segments for purposes of identifying reportable segments. Inter-segment sales are recorded at fair value which results in intercompany profit on inter-segment sales that is eliminated in consolidation. Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses include centralized functions such as legal, finance, treasury and human resources with a portion of the costs allocated to our operating segments.

Significant expenses for each segment are as follows:
