Information on Reportable Segments
Information on Reportable Segments
We are a global supplier of highly specialized, engineered solutions with operations in approximately 15 countries and sales in over 100 countries around the world.
We have aggregated our operating segments into the following three reportable segments: HVAC, Detection and Measurement, and Engineered Solutions. The factors considered in determining our aggregated segments are the economic similarity of the businesses, the nature of products sold or services provided, production processes, types of customers, distribution methods, and regulatory environment. In determining our segments, we apply the threshold criteria of the Segment Reporting Topic of the Codification. Operating income or loss for each of our segments is determined before considering impairment and special charges, pension and postretirement expense/income, long-term incentive compensation and other indirect corporate expenses. This is consistent with the way our CODM evaluates the results of each segment.
HVAC Reportable Segment
Our HVAC reportable segment engineers, designs, manufactures, installs and services cooling products for the HVAC and industrial markets, as well as boilers, comfort heating and ventilation products for the residential and commercial markets. The primary distribution channels for the segment’s products are direct to customers, independent manufacturing representatives, third-party distributors, and retailers. The segment serves a customer base in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Detection and Measurement Reportable Segment
Our Detection and Measurement reportable segment engineers, designs, manufactures and installs underground pipe and cable locators and inspection equipment, bus fare collection systems, communication technologies, and specialty lighting. The primary distribution channels for the segment’s products are direct to customers and third-party distributors. The segment serves a global customer base, with a strong presence in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
Engineered Solutions Reportable Segment
Our Engineered Solutions reportable segment engineers, designs, manufactures, installs and services transformers for the power transmission and distribution market and process cooling equipment and heat exchangers for the industrial and power generation markets. The primary distribution channels for the segment’s products are direct to customers and third-party representatives. The segment has a strong presence in North America and South Africa.
Corporate Expense
Corporate expense generally relates to the cost of our Charlotte, NC corporate headquarters, our former Asia Pacific center in Shanghai, China, which was part of the Spin-Off, and costs that were previously allocated to the FLOW Business and that do not meet the requirements to be presented within discontinued operations.

(1) 
As further discussed in Note 13, during the second and fourth quarters of 2017, we made revisions to our estimates of expected revenues and costs on our large power projects in South Africa. As a result of these revisions, we reduced 2017 revenues by $36.9 ($13.5 and $23.4 during the second and fourth quarters of 2017, respectively) and 2017 segment income by $52.8 ($22.9 and $29.9 in the second and fourth quarters of 2017, respectively). During the third quarter of 2015, we also made revisions to our estimates of expected revenues and costs on our large power projects in South Africa. As a result of these revisions, we reduced revenue and segment income by $57.2 and $95.0, respectively, during the third quarter of 2015.
(2) 
Revenues are included in the above geographic areas based on the country that recorded the customer revenue.
(3) 
During the third quarter of 2017, we settled a contract that had been suspended and then ultimately canceled by a customer for cash proceeds of $9.0 and other consideration. In connection with the settlement, we recorded a gain of $10.2 during the quarter within our Engineered Solutions reportable segment.
