Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
REPORTABLE SEGMENTS | REPORTABLE SEGMENTS The Company operates in three reportable segments: U.S., Europe, and Mexico. The Company’s reportable segments are identified by a combination of factors, including geographic area, regulatory environment, economic environment and product portfolios. Each reportable segment is managed separately through a local management team. The results of each operating, or reportable, segment are provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) on a regular basis. The Company’s CODM is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The information provided to the CODM at the operating segment level is then used to assess performance and make decisions regarding allocation of key resources. The CODM primarily measures segment profit and evaluates performance based on operating income. We conduct separate operations in the continental U.S. and in Puerto Rico. For segment reporting purposes, the Puerto Rico operations are included in the U.S. reportable segment. The chicken products processed by the U.S. reportable segment are sold to foodservice, retail and frozen entrée customers. The segment’s primary distribution is through retailers, foodservice distributors and restaurants. The Europe reportable segment processes primarily fresh chicken, pork products, lamb products, specialty meats, ready meals and other prepared foods that are sold to foodservice, retail and direct to consumer customers. The segment’s primary distribution is through retailers, foodservice distributors and restaurants. The chicken products processed by the Mexico reportable segment are sold to foodservice, retail and frozen entrée customers. The segment’s primary distribution is through retailers, foodservice distributors and restaurants. Additional information regarding reportable segments is as follows:
