Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company manages its businesses under three segments: SGK Brand Solutions, Memorialization and Industrial Technologies. Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company transferred its surfaces and engineered products businesses from the SGK Brand Solutions segment to the Industrial Technologies segment. This business segment change is consistent with internal management structure and reporting changes effective for fiscal 2022. The SGK Brand Solutions segment consists of brand management, pre-media services, printing plates and cylinders, imaging services, digital asset management, merchandising display systems, and marketing and design services primarily for the consumer goods and retail industries. The Memorialization segment consists primarily of bronze and granite memorials and other memorialization products, caskets, and cremation and incineration equipment primarily for the cemetery and funeral home industries. The Industrial Technologies segment includes marking and coding equipment and consumables, engineered products including energy solutions, industrial automation products and order fulfillment systems for identifying, tracking, picking and conveying consumer and industrial products.

Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K provides a summary of the Company's recast segment sales and operating results for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the corresponding quarterly periods, as if the segments had been reported under the new reportable segment structure. Consolidated results remain unchanged. Beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2021, the condensed consolidated financial statements will reflect the new reportable segment structure with the prior periods adjusted to conform to the new presentation. The recast segment information is included as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, does not restate the Company's previously reported consolidated financial statements for any period, nor does it reflect any subsequent information or events, other than as required to reflect the change in segments as described above. Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and the Company's interim filings for such years with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
