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 Nine Months Ended October 30, October 31, October 30, October 31, Retail operations segment Cosmetics 13 % 14 % 13 % 14 % Ladies’ apparel 22 20 23 21 Ladies’ accessories and lingerie 14 15 15 15 Juniors’ and children’s apparel 11 10 10 10 Men’s apparel and accessories 20 18 19 18 Shoes 16 16 15 15 Home and furniture 3 4 3 4 99 97 98 97 Construction segment 1 3 2 3 Total 100 % 100 % 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 Construction Consolidated Three Months Ended October 30, 2021 Net sales from external customers $ 1,460,184 $ 20,815 $ 1,480,999 Gross profit 682,317 2,406 684,723 Depreciation and amortization 50,122 66 50,188 Interest and debt expense (income), net 10,557 (7) 10,550 Income before income taxes 254,152 478 254,630 Total assets 3,703,257 36,939 3,740,196 Three Months Ended October 31, 2020 Net sales from external customers $ 994,588 $ 30,311 $ 1,024,899 Gross profit 364,232 1,983 366,215 Depreciation and amortization 53,290 87 53,377 Interest and debt expense (income), net 12,167 (5) 12,162 (Loss) income before income taxes (232) 462 230 Total assets 3,279,241 26,748 3,305,989 Nine Months Ended October 30, 2021 Net sales from external customers $ 4,296,316 $ 83,604 $ 4,379,920 Gross profit 1,876,558 5,787 1,882,345 Depreciation and amortization 146,441 198 146,639 Interest and debt expense (income), net 32,889 (33) 32,856 Income before income taxes 697,140 1,293 698,433 Total assets 3,703,257 36,939 3,740,196 Nine Months Ended October 31, 2020 Net sales from external customers $ 2,638,831 $ 91,767 $ 2,730,598 Gross profit 737,673 5,925 743,598 Depreciation and amortization 154,806 423 155,229 Interest and debt expense (income), net 37,343 (38) 37,305 (Loss) income before income taxes (262,598) 1,357 (261,241) Total assets 3,279,241 26,748 3,305,989 Intersegment construction revenues of $12.0 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended October 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively, and $28.6 million and $22.3 million for the nine months ended October 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively, were eliminated during consolidation and have been excluded from net sales for the respective periods. The retail operations segment gives rise to contract liabilities through the customer loyalty program associated with Dillard's private label cards and through the issuances of gift cards.
