Business Segment, Geographic Area, Product and Significant Customer Information |
21) | Business Segment, Geographic Area, Product and Significant Customer Information
The Company develops, manufactures, sells and services products that measure, control, power, monitor and analyze critical parameters of advanced manufacturing processes. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) utilizes consolidated financial information to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. In addition, certain disaggregated financial information is also provided to the CODM, which is used in the decision making process to assess performance. Based upon the information provided to the CODM, the Company has determined it has four reportable segments. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company changed the structure of its reportable segments based upon a change in the information that is provided to the Company’s CODM. The Company’s four reportable segments prior to the change in structure were: Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment, Analytical Solutions Group, Europe Region Sales & Service and Asia Region Sales & Service. The Company’s current structure still reflects four reportable segments, however, the composition of the segments has changed. The Company’s current reportable segments are Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment, Global Service, Asia Region Sales and Other. The primary change to the segment structure was to separate worldwide service from product sales and create a separate reportable segment known as Global Service. Product sales in the Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment segment remained with that segment. Asia product sales became a separate reportable segment. The product sales from the operating segments that made up the Analytical Solutions Group and Europe Region were included in the Other segment and are not reported separately as they are individually immaterial and collectively below the separate segment reporting guidelines. The Company has reported corporate expenses and certain intercompany pricing transactions in a Corporate and Eliminations reconciling column. Due to these changes, the results presented under segment reporting for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 reflect the current segments to conform to the current period segment reporting presentation with no impact to the consolidated results of operations. The Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment segment includes the development, manufacturing and sales of instruments, control and vacuum products, power and reactive gas products, all of which are utilized in semiconductor processing and other similar advanced manufacturing processes. Sales in this segment include both external sales and intercompany product sales, which are recorded at transfer prices in accordance with applicable tax requirements. The Global Service segment includes the worldwide servicing of instruments, control and vacuum products, power and reactive gas products, and certain other product groups, all of which are utilized in semiconductor processing and other similar advanced manufacturing processes. The Asia Region Sales segment mainly resells products from the Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment and Other segments into Asia regions. The Other segment includes operating segments that are not required to be reported separately as a reportable segment and includes sales of products that are re-sold from the Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment into Europe regions as well as sales from other operating segments. MKS derives the segment results directly from the manner in which results are reported in its management reporting system. The accounting policies MKS uses to derive reportable segment results are substantially the same as those used for external reporting purposes except that a substantial portion of the sales of the Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment and Other segments are intercompany sales to the regions at tax-based transfer prices and certain significant costs, including stock-based compensation and management incentive compensation, are not allocated to the segments and are included in Corporate and Eliminations. The CODM reviews several metrics of each operating segment, including net revenues and gross profit (loss). The Company does not maintain balance sheets for the majority of its operating segments and, as such, amounts have not been allocated to the reportable segments. The Company does not disclose external or intersegment revenues separately by reportable segment as this information is not presented to the CODM for decision making purposes. The following is net revenues by reportable segment:

(1) | The Asia Region Sales segment does not represent total geographical Asia financial information. This sales operation only represents the sales from the resale of Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment and Other segment products in its respective region. The Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment and Other segments both have sales in this region as well. Accordingly, total geographical sales include sales from multiple reportable segments.
