Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Business Segments | BUSINESS SEGMENTS: The Company's reportable segments are determined based on how the Company's CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources for the Company. Based on the CODM's assessment, the Company has two reportable segments: FSS United States and FSS International. The CODM evaluates each segment’s performance based on financial metrics, including revenue and adjusted operating income. The CODM uses these metrics to assess performance and allocate resources to each segment, primarily through periodic budgeting and segment performance reviews. Segment revenue represents food and facilities services sales. Adjusted operating income represents operating income adjusted to eliminate the impact of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, severance and other charges and other items impacting comparability. Corporate expenses include certain operating and non-operating costs not allocated to the segments. The nature of these expenses may vary but primarily consist of corporate personnel compensation costs, certain acquisition-related costs and share-based compensation expense. Approximately 85% of the global revenue is related to food services and 15% is related to facilities services. Financial information by segment is as follows (in millions):
