Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment and Geographic Information | Segment and Geographic Information Segment information The Company’s management evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on net sales and earnings before interest expense, net, the provision for income taxes, and amortization of intangible assets, not including centralized distribution costs and corporate charges, as presented in the table below. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2017. The financial information that is regularly reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources changed during fiscal year 2017. As a result, the Company has revised the disclosure for the prior period to align with current presentation. Net sales of the Company’s reportable segments include end-customer revenues from the sale of products each reportable segment develops and manufactures or distributes. Segment disclosures are on a performance basis consistent with internal management reporting. Certain items are at corporate and centralized and are not allocated to the segments. Net sales and earnings before interest expense, net, the provision for income taxes, and amortization of intangible assets, not including centralized distribution costs and corporate charges by reportable segments are as follows:
