What amounts are reported by an operating segment?

All of the above

General information about the operating segment

Information about reported segment profit or loss and segment assets

Reconciliations of the totals of segment revenues, reported profit or loss, assets, and other items to enterprise amounts

When a company reports by operating segment, you’re looking at disaggregated information that then must be connected back to the whole enterprise. Each operating segment provides its own measures—such as revenue, profit or loss, and assets—but the crucial link to the company’s overall financial statements is the reconciliation. This reconciliation shows how the totals of segment revenues, profits or losses, assets, and other items add up to the enterprise-wide amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. That bridging information is what allows investors to see how the segments collectively explain the company’s totals.

General information about a segment and the segment-specific profit or loss and assets are part of the disclosures, but the reconciliations to the enterprise amounts are the key element that ties those segment numbers to the overall financial statements.
