Summary of Segment Reporting Information by Segment | The following table is a summary of segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

General corporate activities included in the table below are comprised of general management and administrative corporate expenses, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and other operating income and expenses, net of certain general corporate activity costs that are allocated to the DIS and DS businesses. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company as set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 2 to the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements.
