NOTE 2. SEGMENT RESULTS

Our operating segments are as follows: Mineral Fiber, Architectural Specialties and Unallocated Corporate. Our Mineral Fiber and Architectural Specialties segment net sales represent the product-based group offerings we sell to external customers.

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Effective April 1, 2026, our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Victor Grizzle, transitioned to Executive Chair of our Board of Directors, and Mark Hershey, formerly our Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, succeeded Victor Grizzle as President and CEO.

Segment operating income (loss) is the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM. The following tables are presented at the level of disaggregation regularly reviewed by the CODM to evaluate operating performance and allocate resources to segments:
