Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information and Geographic Data | Segment Information & Geographic Data The segment information reflects the operating results of the Company’s business segments. In January 2018, The Company changed the names of the reportable segments to better reflect business operations. The Company has two reportable segments; Asset Intelligence & Tracking (“AIT”), formerly Legacy Zebra and Enterprise Visibility & Mobility (“EVM”), formerly Enterprise.
• | The AIT segment consists of barcode and card printing, location solutions, supplies, and services
• | The EVM segment consists of mobile computing, data capture, and RFID
The operating segments have been identified based on the financial data utilized by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the chief operating decision maker) to assess segment performance and allocate resources between the Company’s segments. The chief operating decision maker uses adjusted operating income to evaluate segment profitability. The accounting policies of the segments are in accordance with Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The chief operating decision maker does not use total assets by segment to make decisions regarding resources, therefore the total asset disclosure by segment has not been included. Financial information by segment is presented as follows (in millions):
