NOTE 21 SEGMENTED INFORMATION

 

The Company reports segment information based on the "management" approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as a source of the Company’s reportable operating segments.  The Company's chief operating decision maker is its President and Chief Executive Officer.  The Company conducts its business through the following two reportable segments: Kingsway Search Xcelerator and Extended Warranty.

 

Kingsway Search Xcelerator Segment 

 

Kingsway Search Xcelerator includes the Company's subsidiaries CSuite, Ravix, SNS, SPI, DDI, Image Solutions, Roundhouse, Bud's Plumbing, Advanced Plumbing and Southside Plumbing (collectively, "KSX").  

 

CSuite is a professional services firm that provides experienced chief financial officer and other finance professionals to its clients through a variety of flexible offerings. These offerings include project, fractional and interim staffing of senior finance professionals, CFO mentoring, board advisory services, and executive search services for permanent placements for its clients throughout the United States.

 

Ravix provides outsourced financial services and human resources consulting to its clients on a fractional basis for both projects with definitive endpoints and ongoing engagements of indeterminate length for short or long duration engagements for customers throughout the United States.  

 

SNS provides healthcare staffing services to acute healthcare facilities on a contract or per diem basis in the United States, primarily in California.

 

SPI provides software products created exclusively to serve the management needs of all types of shared-ownership properties globally.

 

DDI provides outsourced 24 hours a day and 7 days per week ("24/7") cardiac telemetry services for general acute care, long-term acute care and inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. Outsourcing cardiac monitoring allows hospitals to eliminate personnel callouts and human resources issues, remove distractions from onsite operations, and free up facility staff to assist directly with patient care. DDI currently has a presence in 42 states and Puerto Rico

 

Image Solutions provides comprehensive information technology managed services, including equipment sales, service, and helpdesk support to customers primarily in North Carolina, Kansas, Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee.

Extended Warranty Segment

 

Extended Warranty includes the following subsidiaries of the Company: IWS, Geminus, PWI and Trinity (collectively, "Extended Warranty"). As discussed in Note 5, "Acquisitions and Disposal," the Company sold Trinity on May 8, 2026. The earnings of Trinity are included in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and the segment disclosures through the date of sale.

 

IWS is a licensed motor vehicle service agreement company and is a provider of after-market vehicle protection services distributed by credit unions in 28 states and the District of Columbia to their members, with customers in all fifty states.

 

Geminus primarily sells vehicle service agreements to used car buyers across the United States, through its subsidiary, The Penn Warranty Corporation ("Penn"). Penn distributes these products in 46 states via independent used car dealerships and franchised car dealerships.  

 

PWI markets, sells and administers vehicle service agreements to used car buyers in 47 states via independent used car and franchise network of approved automobile and motorcycle dealer partners. PWI’s business model is supported by an internal sales and operations team.  

 

Trinity sold HVAC, standby generator, commercial LED lighting and commercial refrigeration warranty products and provided equipment breakdown and maintenance support services to companies across the United States. As a seller of warranty products, Trinity markets and administers product warranty contracts for certain new and used products in the HVAC, standby generator, commercial LED lighting and commercial refrigeration industries throughout the United States. Trinity acts as an agent on behalf of the third-party insurance companies that underwrite and guaranty these warranty contracts. Trinity does not guaranty the performance underlying the warranty contracts it sells. As a provider of equipment breakdown and maintenance support services, Trinity acts as a single point of contact to its clients for both certain equipment breakdowns and scheduled maintenance of equipment. Trinity will provide such repair and breakdown services by contracting with certain HVAC providers.

Results for the Company's reportable segments are based on the Company's internal financial reporting systems and are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements. The Company uses operating income as the measure of profit or loss for our segments. The Company's chief operating decision maker uses segment operating income to allocate resources in the annual budget and forecasting process and considers actual versus plan variances in assessing the performance of each segment. The chief operating decision maker also uses segment operating income as an input to the overall compensation measures for segment management under the Company's incentive compensation plans. From time to time we may report the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges related to our segments outside of segment operating income.  Segment assets are not regularly reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker and, therefore, are not included in the segment disclosures below.

 

Among other items, the current U.S. conflict with Iran, the degree and pace of inflation and interest rate changes may have impacts on our business and tariffs - or retaliatory responses to such tariffs - may impact the Company’s operating income. The potential impact of current macroeconomic uncertainties on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is subject to change and continues to depend on the extent and duration of these uncertainties.

 

The operating income by reportable segment in the following table is before income taxes and includes revenues and direct segment costs. The significant expense categories and amounts by segment align with the segment level information that is regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker.

 

Total segment operating income reconciled to the consolidated net income (loss) for the three months ended  June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 is as follows:
