Item 7.01.   Regulation FD Disclosure

 

Change in Segment Reporting

 

During the first quarter of 2019, Douglas Dynamics, Inc. (the “Company”) reorganized its business segments to reflect a new operating structure as a result of a change in how the Company’s chief operating decision maker allocates resources, makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of its business. The changes in the Company’s reporting structure consist of revenues and costs from the Company’s municipal snow and ice control offering under the Henderson Products brand moving from the Work Truck Attachments segment to the Work Truck Solutions segment. Under this revised reporting structure, beginning with the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company will present two reportable segments, as follows:

 

 

In addition, segment results will now include an allocation of all corporate costs.

 

To assist investors in making comparisons of the Company’s historical information with future financial information that will reflect the segment change, previously reported segment financial information for the year ended December 31, 2018 (including by quarter) has been recast to reflect Company’s new segment reporting structure. The recast unaudited information is presented herein as Exhibit 99.1.

 

The segment change discussed above and presented within the recast unaudited information affects only the manner in which the results of the Company’s reportable segments were previously reported. The information contained in or as an exhibit to this Form 8-K does not restate the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements for any period, nor does it affect the Company’s reported net income, earnings per share, total assets, or stockholders’ equity for any of the previously reported periods. This Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the Company’s interim filings for such year filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
