Segment Information |
Segment Information | 14. Segment Information The Company is organized into three reporting segments. The segments are defined by the regions where the Company’s products are manufactured, marketed and distributed to the Company’s customers. The three regional segments are the North American segment, comprising primarily the United States and Canada, the European segment and the Asia/Pacific segment, comprising the Company’s operations in China, Hong Kong, the south Pacific and the Middle East. These segments are similar in several ways, including the types of materials, the production processes, the distribution channels and the product applications. The Administrative & All Other column primarily includes expenses such as self-insured workers compensation claims for certain members of management, stock-based compensation for certain members of management, interest expense, foreign exchange gains or losses and income tax expense, as well as revenues and expenses related to real estate activities, such as rental income and depreciation expense on the Company’s property in Vacaville, California, which the Company has leased to a third party for a 10-year term expiring in August 2020. The following table illustrates certain measurements used by management to assess the performance of the segments described above as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, or for the years then ended: (in thousands)

* Sales to other segments are eliminated on consolidation. Cash collected by the Company’s United States subsidiaries is routinely transferred into the Company’s cash management accounts, and therefore has been included in the total assets of “Administrative and All Other.” Cash and short-term investment balances in “Administrative and All Other” were $91.9 million, $68.5 million and $274.6 million as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $83.6 million or 47.6% of its cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States in accounts belonging to the Company’s various foreign operating entities. The majority of this balance is held in foreign currencies and could be subject to additional taxation if it were repatriated to the United States. The Company has no plans to repatriate cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States as the Company expects to use such funds for future international growth and acquisitions. The significant non-cash charges comprise compensation related to the awards under the stock-based incentive plans and the stock bonus plan. The Company’s measure of profit or loss for its reportable segments is income (loss) from operations. The reconciling amounts between consolidated income before tax and consolidated income from operations are net interest income, which is primarily attributed to “Administrative and All Other,” and loss from equity method investment, which is attributed to the North American segment.

Net sales and long-lived assets, net of intangible assets, are attributable to the country where the operations are located. The following table illustrates how the Company’s net sales are distributed by product as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, or for the years then ended: (in thousands)
|  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010 |
Wood Construction |  | $ | 558,113 |  | $ | 536,131 |  | $ | 496,240 |

Total |  | $ | 657,236 |  | $ | 603,446 |  | $ | 555,487 |
Wood construction products include connectors, truss plates, fastening systems, fasteners and pre-fabricated shearwalls and are used for connecting and strengthening wood-based construction primarily in the residential construction market. Concrete construction products include adhesives, chemicals, mechanical anchors, carbide drill bits, powder actuated tools and fiber reinforcing materials and are used for restoration, protection or strengthening concrete, of masonry and steel construction in residential, industrial, commercial and infrastructure construction. The Company’s largest customer, attributable mostly to the North American segment, accounted for 10%, 10% and 11% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
