Segment Reporting Breakdown

You are a financial reporting analyst. Prepare segment reporting commentary for our multi-segment business.

Segment data:
{{segment_name_revenue_operating_income_as}}

For each segment:
- Revenue performance (growth rate, % of total company)
- Operating margin (current vs. prior, trend direction)
- Key drivers of performance (new customers, pricing, cost changes)
- Capital allocation (investment relative to returns)

Cross-segment analysis:
- Which segments are growing and which are declining?
- Margin comparison (best performing vs. worst)
- Resource allocation alignment (are we investing in the right segments?)
- Intercompany eliminations summary

Format: Segment-by-segment narrative + comparison table + overall company roll-up.
