8. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our business consists of two reportable segments: Installation and Specialty Distribution. We operate primarily in the U.S. and to a lesser extent Canada.

Our Installation segment installs insulation and other building products. Installation sells primarily to the residential new construction market, with increasing activity in the commercial/industrial construction market, along with repair/remodel of residential housing. In addition to insulation, it installs other building products including glass and windows, rain gutters, garage doors, closet shelving, and fireplaces, among other items.  

Our Specialty Distribution segment distributes building and mechanical insulation, insulation accessories and other building product materials for the residential and commercial/industrial end markets. In addition to insulation and accessories, it distributes rain gutters, closet shelving, and roofing materials, among other items. Distributed products are sold from distribution centers in various parts of the United States and Canada, primarily to contractors and dealers (including lumber yards) serving a wide variety of commercial/industrial markets.

The accounting policies of our segments are described in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.  Intercompany sales from the Specialty Distribution segment to the Installation segment are recorded by the Specialty Distribution segment with a profit margin and by our Installation segment at cost. This intercompany profit is eliminated in consolidation.

Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM measures performance for our reportable segments based on segment net sales and operating profit. Our CODM uses these measures to evaluate resource allocation and other strategic initiatives (e.g., making acquisitions and internal investments). Segment performance measures are compared to budgeted and forecasted amounts periodically to assist in evaluating performance versus expectations and to inform future allocation and strategic decisions.

Key information is presented below by segment for our profit measures for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, in thousands:
