14. Segment reporting

 

Aqua Metals, Inc. has one operating segment: sustainable metals recycling. The Company's operations are focused on the development and commercialization of AquaRefining technology for the clean and efficient recovery of valuable metals from lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM evaluates financial performance at a consolidated, entity-wide level and does not assess operating results by individual business unit or product line. Financial results are reviewed in line with the Company’s condensed consolidated financials, and resource allocation decisions are made based on overall Company performance.

 

The CODM assesses performance for the segment based on net loss, which is reported on the statement of operations as net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. Significant expenses within net loss, include plant operations, research and development cost, impairment expense, loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, and general and administrative expenses, which are each separately presented on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
