Business Segments | Business Segments The Company operates in two reportable segments: the operation of retail department stores (“retail operations”) and a general contracting construction company (“construction”). For the Company’s retail operations, the Company determined its operating segments on a store by store basis. Each store’s operating performance has been aggregated into one reportable segment. The Company’s operating segments are aggregated for financial reporting purposes because they are similar in each of the following areas: economic characteristics, class of consumer, nature of products and distribution methods. Revenues from external customers are derived from merchandise sales, and the Company does not rely on any major customers as a source of revenue. Across all stores, the Company operates one store format under the Dillard’s name where each store offers the same general mix of merchandise with similar categories and similar customers. The Company believes that disaggregating its operating segments would not provide meaningful additional information. The following table summarizes the percentage of net sales by segment and major product line: Three Months Ended May 2, 2020 May 4, 2019 Retail operations segment Cosmetics 15 % 14 % Ladies’ apparel 22 24 Ladies’ accessories and lingerie 14 14 Juniors’ and children’s apparel 10 11 Men’s apparel and accessories 16 16 Shoes 15 15 Home and furniture 3 3 95 97 Construction segment 5 3 Total 100 % 100 % The following tables summarize certain segment information, including the reconciliation of those items to the Company’s consolidated operations: (in thousands of dollars) Retail Operations Construction Consolidated Three Months Ended May 2, 2020: Net sales from external customers $ 751,027 $ 35,628 $ 786,655 Gross profit 96,034 2,152 98,186 Depreciation and amortization 50,732 169 50,901 Interest and debt expense (income), net 12,291 (21 ) 12,270 (Loss) income before income taxes (228,667 ) 522 (228,145 ) Total assets 3,299,363 42,982 3,342,345 Three Months Ended May 4, 2019: Net sales from external customers $ 1,420,522 $ 44,919 $ 1,465,441 Gross profit 536,371 1,303 537,674 Depreciation and amortization 52,194 170 52,364 Interest and debt expense (income), net 11,264 (27 ) 11,237 Income before income taxes 100,728 44 100,772 Total assets 3,731,040 47,948 3,778,988 Intersegment construction revenues of $11.4 million and $8.4 million for the three months ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively, were eliminated during consolidation and have been excluded from net sales for the respective periods.
