Segment Information [Abstract] |
Segment Information | 13. Segment Information For management reporting and performance evaluation purposes, the Company categorizes its operating companies into four distinct reportable segments. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company reorganized into four new business segments that are aligned with the key end-markets they serve: Communication Technologies, Energy, Engineered Systems and Printing & Identification. Therefore, consistent with the requirements of segment reporting, the Company has revised its operating segments to align with the revised operating and management reporting structure. All information for the prior period has been conformed to the current period presentation. Segment financial information and a reconciliation of segment results to consolidated results follows:
