SEGMENT INFORMATION

General Information

We provide payment and digital commerce solutions and operate in three reportable segments: North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Due to international investment and a realigned management structure, commencing at the beginning of fiscal 2016 and retrospectively presented herein, we have replaced our former International merchant services segment with two reportable operating segments: Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Information About Profit and Assets

We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on the operating income of each segment. The operating income of each segment includes the revenues of the segment less those expenses that are directly related to those revenues. Operating overhead, shared costs and certain compensation costs are included in Corporate in the following table. Interest and other income, interest and other expense and provision for income taxes are not allocated to the individual segments. We do not evaluate performance or allocate resources using segment asset data. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in "Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

Information on segments, including revenue by geographic distribution within segments, and reconciliations to consolidated revenues and consolidated operating income are as follows for the years ended May 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013:
