Segmented Data for Champion Business Lines

For analysis of tariff impact, as with analysis of any sales and gross profit issue, it is essential to have segmented data to look at. This gives us windows into underperforming areas and possible moves for recovering from tariff hits.

This tab presents an overview of line activity for Champion. Where it comes from, or could come from for you, is an issue, of course. Some of us have support from Big Data, Power BI or other data mining. Others of do not and face possible costly assembly of line overviews. See our Tab 6 - No Big Data for further discussion of this.

For this tab, we are presenting as if, regardless of source, Champion got to a point where is could summarize its 2024 results into a series of tables that representing segment useful for analysis.

The menu options for pre-tariff segments are important because when we drop in tariff data, we want to drop it to segments that follow the non-tariff layout.

The core segmentation here has been introduced in Tab 1 - Champion’s Industry. This included a lists of maintenance descriptions - a longer list and a shorter, rolled-up short list. Then we move into useful supplemental segmentations.

The approach is outlined in these slides. For each line item we are providing revenue, cost and gross profit.
