SEGMENT INFORMATION | SEGMENT INFORMATION Reportable Segments. We manage our business and report our financial results through the following three reportable segments, which are the same as our operating segments: •Workforce Solutions •U.S. Information Solutions •International The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in our summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1). We evaluate the performance of these reportable segments based on their operating revenue, operating income and operating margins, excluding any unusual or infrequent items, if any. The measurement criteria for segment profit or loss and segment assets are substantially the same for each reportable segment.
