Segment Breakouts are the segment, product-line and geography figures a company printed in its earnings release — the rows that sit beneath the consolidated figure. Each observation is one figure for one segment from one release, carrying the resolved segment_name, the cut it belongs to, whether it may be added, and the verbatim quote it was read from.

​
What You Can Use Segment Breakouts For

See how a quarter split across a company’s reportable segments, product lines or regions, the day it was announced. Track segment KPIs the financial statements never carry. Compare the as-printed split with the audited segment detail.

​
Split on segment_axis Before Summing

One release routinely prints several cuts of the same revenue. Apple prints Products and Services, iPhone and Mac, and Americas, Europe and Greater China — and each cut adds up to the total on its own. Summing a mixed page counts the quarter more than once.Group by segment_axis first. Then use segment_role to decide what may be added:An empty axis is its own group and must never be added into a known one.

​
Read segment_name

A release often prints the segment name only in the row label and leaves the segment field empty. segment_name resolves it. segment_as_extracted keeps the field as extracted and label_qualifier the part of the label the name came from.

​
Not Every Breakout Is Here, on Purpose

A row counts as a segment only when the release named the segment in its own field. When the name appears only inside the row label, the row cannot be told apart from a wording variant, so it is left out rather than guessed at. Cisco’s Q2 FY26 geographies are the worked case: they are not here. They are reachable through Reported Earnings Figures with no level.

​
Key Segment Breakout Fields

Each row carries the same release and value fields as Company Measures — ticker, company_id, year, quarter, observed_at, doc_id, source_ref, metric_key, basis, period, period_end, label, value_text, value_low, value_high, value_unit, yoy, quote, value_is_change and unit_check — plus segment_name, segment_as_extracted, label_qualifier, segment_axis and segment_role. Read value_is_change before using a number: when true, the figure is a change, not a level.

​
Segment Breakouts Coverage

Companies whose releases break a line out and name the segment in its own field. The floor moves as the backfill proceeds — read coverage.available_from on the response.

​
Segment Breakouts Date Convention

year and quarter are the fiscal year and quarter of the release. period is the period the figure is for, as the release labelled it. Rows are returned newest release first.
