Segment Reporting, Measurement Disclosures [Abstract] |
Segment Information | SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates and reports its results in three separate business segments consisting of the Life Sciences, Diagnostics and Environmental & Applied Solutions segments. When determining the reportable segments, the Company aggregated operating segments based on their similar economic and operating characteristics. Operating profit represents total revenues less operating expenses, excluding nonoperating income and expense, interest and income taxes. Operating profit amounts in the Other segment consist of unallocated corporate costs and other costs not considered part of management’s evaluation of reportable segment operating performance. The identifiable assets by segment are those used in each segment’s operations. Intersegment amounts are not significant and are eliminated to arrive at consolidated totals. Detailed segment data for the years ended December 31 is as follows ($ in millions):
