12. Segment Information

 

We report segment information consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), a single individual who serves as our Board Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the operating results and performance of the Company. We have strategically aligned our business into two reportable segments as defined in ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, and as described below:

 

 

●

Wholesale. The wholesale home furnishings segment is involved principally in the design, manufacture, sourcing, sale and distribution of furniture products to a network of Bassett stores (Company-owned and licensee-owned retail stores) and independent furniture retailers. Our wholesale segment includes our wood and upholstery operations, which includes Lane Venture.

 

 

●

Retail – Company-owned stores. Our retail segment consists of Company-owned stores and includes the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and capital expenditures directly related to these stores and the Company-owned distribution network utilized to deliver products to our retail customers.

 

In addition to the two reportable segments described above, we include our remaining business activities and assets in a reconciling category known as Corporate and other. This category includes the shared costs of corporate functions such as treasury and finance, information technology, accounting, human resources, legal and others, including certain product development and marketing functions benefiting both wholesale and retail operations. In addition to property and equipment and various other assets associated with the shared corporate functions, the identifiable assets of Corporate and other include substantially all of our cash and our investments in CDs. We consider our corporate functions to be other business activities. As of and for the three and nine months ended August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025, Corporate and other included no other operating segments.

 

Intercompany net sales elimination represents the elimination of wholesale sales to our Company-owned stores. Intercompany income elimination includes the embedded wholesale profit in the Company-owned store inventory that has not been realized. These profits will be recorded when merchandise is delivered to the retail consumer. The intercompany income elimination also includes rent paid by our retail stores occupying Company-owned real estate.

 

For the purpose of evaluating segment performance and allocating resources, our CODM uses a measure of income (loss) from operations excluding special items. These excluded items include such things as asset impairment charges, restructuring charges, and other unusual or infrequent gains and losses which management does not expect to recur on a routine basis. During the three and nine months ended August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025, there were no special items recognized in our results of operations. The CODM assesses performance by regularly reviewing each segment’s significant expense categories which include total cost of goods sold and total SG&A expenses. If these significant expense categories deviate from expected results, the CODM will delegate to his direct reports the task of investigating the underlying causes and, when necessary, making recommendations for remedial action to the CODM for his consideration and approval.
