Business Segment and Geographic Information Business Segment and Geographic Information
We operate in the packaged foods industry. Our operating segments are as follows: North America Retail, International, North
America Pet, and North America Foodservice.
Our North America Retail operating segment reflects business with a wide variety of grocery stores, mass merchandisers, membership
stores, natural food chains, drug, dollar and discount chains, convenience stores, and e-commerce grocery providers. Our product
categories in this business segment include ready-to-eat cereals, soup, meal kits, refrigerated and frozen dough products, dessert and
baking mixes, frozen pizza and pizza snacks, snack bars, fruit snacks, savory snacks, and a wide variety of organic products including
ready-to-eat cereal, frozen vegetables, meal kits, fruit snacks and snack bars.
Our International operating segment consists of retail and foodservice businesses outside of the United States and Canada. Our product
categories include super-premium ice cream and frozen desserts, meal kits, salty snacks, snack bars, dessert and baking mixes, shelf-
stable vegetables, and pet food products. We also sell super-premium ice cream and frozen desserts directly to consumers through
owned retail shops. Our International segment also includes products manufactured in the United States for export, mainly to
Caribbean and Latin American markets, as well as products we manufacture for sale to our international joint ventures. Revenues from
export activities are reported in the region or country where the end customer is located.
Our North America Pet operating segment includes pet food products sold primarily in the United States and Canada in national pet
superstore chains, e-commerce retailers, grocery stores, regional pet store chains, mass merchandisers, and veterinary clinics and
hospitals. Our product categories include dog and cat food (dry foods, wet foods, fresh foods, and treats) made with whole meats,
fruits, vegetables and other high-quality natural ingredients. Our tailored pet product offerings address specific dietary, lifestyle, and
life-stage needs and span different product types, diet types, breed sizes for dogs, life-stages, flavors, product functions, and textures
and cuts for wet and fresh foods.
Our North America Foodservice segment consists of foodservice businesses in the United States and Canada. Our major product
categories in our North America Foodservice operating segment are ready-to-eat cereals, snacks, frozen meals, unbaked and fully
baked frozen dough products, baking mixes, and bakery flour. Many products we sell are branded to the consumer and nearly all are
branded to our customers. We sell to distributors and operators in many customer channels including foodservice, vending, and
supermarket bakeries.
Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM predominantly
uses segment operating profit in the annual planning process which includes segment operating profit performance targets. The
CODM assesses progress against performance targets by comparing segment operating profit actual-to-plan variances on a monthly
basis. The performance assessment completed by the CODM is used to determine whether resource allocations require adjustment and
contributes to the determination of incentive compensation.
Operating profit for these segments excludes unallocated corporate items, gain or loss on divestitures, and restructuring,
transformation, impairment, and other exit costs. Results from certain businesses managed by our Strategic Growth Office are
included within corporate and other net sales and unallocated corporate items within operating profit. Unallocated corporate items also
include corporate overhead expenses, variances to planned North American employee benefits and incentives, certain charitable
contributions, gains and losses on corporate investments, and other items that are not part of our measurement of segment operating
performance. These include gains and losses arising from the revaluation of certain grain inventories and gains and losses from mark-
to-market valuation of certain commodity positions until passed back to our operating segments. These items affecting operating profit
are centrally managed at the corporate level and are excluded from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by executive
management. Under our supply chain organization, our manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution activities are substantially
integrated across our operations in order to maximize efficiency and productivity. As a result, fixed assets and depreciation and
amortization expenses are neither maintained nor available by operating segment.
