Why do Trefiss divisions for a company not match how the company reports?
Trefis decides on how to segment a company by division based on a number of factors including the availability of division specific information, the importance of certain divisions and the overall company understanding communicated to viewers. Oftentimes companies do not report to the level of granularity that we feel is necessary to understand a business which is why we often have more segmentation in our analysis than what is shown in a company’s own financial filings.
