Note 7 – Segment Information

Seaboard manages its business under six reportable segments: Pork, Commodity Trading and Milling (“CT&M”), Marine, Liquid Fuels, Power and Turkey. Each of the six reportable segments is separately managed based on its diverse product or service. All Other and Corporate includes Seaboard’s remaining operations and primarily represents a sugar and alcohol production and processing operation in Argentina. For details on each segment’s respective products and services, see Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in Seaboard’s 2025 10-K.

Seaboard’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM assesses performance and makes key operating decisions based on total operating income and income from affiliates. The CODM uses this measure to compare to historical trends and forecasts to assess segment results, allocate capital, make strategic decisions and identify areas of opportunity. Operating income and income from affiliates for segment reporting is prepared on the same basis as that used for consolidated purposes under U.S. GAAP. The CODM does not receive proportionate consolidation information for equity method investments.

The following tables include certain segment information for the respective periods presented. The significant segment expense categories align with the information regularly provided to the CODM.
