Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
BUSINESS SEGMENTS | BUSINESS SEGMENTS The accounting principles used in the preparation of the segment information are the same as those used for the consolidated financial statements as disclosed in Note 1, except that the segment assets and income reflect the FIFO basis of accounting for inventory. Certain inventories are accounted for using the LIFO basis in the consolidated financial statements. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company changed its reportable segment operating income to separate out the LIFO expense (benefit). Prior year financial information has been updated to reflect this change. Reportable segments are as follows: ENGINEERED SUPPORT STRUCTURES: This segment consists of the manufacture of engineered metal structures and components for the global lighting and traffic, wireless communication, and roadway safety industries; ENERGY AND MINING: This segment, all outside of the United States, consists of the manufacture of access systems applications, forged steel grinding media, on and off shore oil, gas, and wind energy structures; UTILITY SUPPORT STRUCTURES: This segment consists of the manufacture of engineered steel and concrete structures for the global utility industry; COATINGS: This segment consists of galvanizing, anodizing and powder coating services on a global basis; and IRRIGATION: This segment consists of the manufacture of agricultural irrigation equipment and related parts and services for the global agricultural industry and tubular products for industrial customers. The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments based upon operating income and invested capital. The Company does not allocate LIFO expense, interest expense, non-operating income and deductions, or income taxes to its business segments. (7) BUSINESS SEGMENTS (Continued) Summary by Business
