NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate our business structure within two segments. These segments are defined based on the internal financial reporting used by management. Certain significant selling and general and administrative expenses are not allocated to the segments including non-cash stock compensation expense. Each segment is described below:

Our Black Diamond segment, which includes Black Diamond Equipment, PIEPS, and SKINourishment, is a global leader in designing, manufacturing, and marketing innovative outdoor engineered equipment and apparel for climbing, mountaineering, trail running, backpacking, skiing, and a wide range of other year-round outdoor recreation activities. Our Black Diamond segment offers a broad range of products including: high-performance, activity-based apparel (such as shells, insulation, midlayers, pants and logowear); rock-climbing footwear and equipment (such as carabiners, protection devices, harnesses, belay devices, helmets, and ice-climbing gear); technical backpacks and high-end day packs; trekking poles; headlamps and lanterns; gloves and mittens; and skincare and other sport-enhancing products. We also offer advanced skis, ski poles, ski skins, and snow safety products, including avalanche airbag systems, avalanche transceivers, shovels, and probes.

Our Sierra segment, which includes Sierra, is an iconic American manufacturer of a wide range of high-performance bullets and ammunition for both rifles and pistols. These bullets and ammunition are used for precision target shooting, hunting and military and law enforcement purposes.

As noted above, the Company has a wide variety of technical outdoor equipment and lifestyle products focused on the climb, ski, mountain and sport product categories that are sold to a variety of customers in multiple end markets. While there are multiple products sold, the terms and nature of revenue recognition policy is similar for all segments. The sport product category represents the Sierra segment revenue.

We divide our product offerings into four primary categories of climb, mountain, ski and sport. Revenue by category as a percentage of total consolidated revenues is as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2020		September 30, 2019		September 30, 2020		September 30, 2019

Climb	27	%	30	%	33	%	34	%
Mountain	33	%	37	%	30	%	35	%
Ski	17	%	22	%	15	%	17	%
Sport	23	%	11	%	22	%	14	%

Contract liabilities are recorded as a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of us satisfying performance obligations which are satisfied at a future point of time. Contract liabilities were not material at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Contract liabilities are derecognized when the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue recognized from satisfaction of performance obligations relating to the advanced payments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were not material. No other material remaining performance obligations exist at September 30, 2020.
