Segment Information |
Segment Information | Note 20. Segment information Woodward serves the aerospace, industrial and energy markets through its two reportable segments - Aerospace and Industrial. Woodward’s reportable segments are aggregations of Woodward’s operating segments. Woodward uses operating segment information internally to manage its business, including the assessment of operating segment performance and decisions for the allocation of resources between operating segments. Woodward has changed the name of its Energy segment to Industrial. The term “energy” is largely viewed as “oil and gas” and therefore was not representative of the broader markets Woodward serves in this segment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those of the Company. Woodward evaluates segment profit or loss based on internal performance measures for each segment in a given period. In connection with that assessment, Woodward excludes matters such as certain charges for restructuring costs, interest income and expense, certain gains and losses from asset dispositions, or other non-recurring and/or non-operationally related expenses. A summary of consolidated net sales and earnings by segment follows:
