| Segment and Other Operating Information |
SEGMENT AND OTHER OPERATING INFORMATION The Company's segments are defined by management's reporting structure and operating activities. The chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), our President and Chief Executive Officer, reviews segment operating results to assess financial performance, allocate resources and make operating and strategic decisions. The Company has two reportable segments: International Insurance and Domestic Insurance.
Our International Insurance segment issues endowment contracts, which are principally accumulation contracts that incorporate an element of life insurance protection, and whole life insurance products to non-U.S. residents through CICA International. These contracts are designed to provide a fixed amount of insurance coverage over the life of the insured and may include rider benefits and annuity features that enhance policy accumulations. Our Domestic Insurance segment operates through our subsidiaries: CLOA, which issues whole life, final expense and life products with living benefits throughout the U.S.; and SPLIC and MGLIC, which focus on the life insurance needs of the lower-income markets, primarily in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas. SPLIC also issues critical illness policies. Our policies are sold and serviced through independent agents.
The CODM evaluates the profitability of the International Insurance and Domestic Insurance segments based on the income (loss) before federal income tax, or segment profit (loss), which is measured as revenues less directly attributable total benefits and expenses. This measure reflects the operating performance of each insurance segment and is the primary measure used by the CODM to evaluate segment results and allocate resources. The significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM and included in the measure of segment profit (loss) are presented in the tables below.
The International Insurance and Domestic Insurance operations constitute separate businesses. In addition to these reportable segments, the Company also captures other corporate-related non-insurance income and expenses associated with operating the Company. These amounts are not included in the segment profit (loss) and are reported separately below to reconcile to the consolidated income (loss) before federal income tax on the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss).
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included in our 2025 Form 10-K and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The tables below present segment revenues, segment profit (loss) and the significant expense categories included in the measure of segment profitability reviewed by the CODM.
