Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information We are organized into seven geographic operating segments based on management responsibilities. The operating segments have been aggregated (based on economic similarities, the nature of their products, end-user markets and methods of distribution) into four reportable segments: North America, Europe, International, and Corporate. The Corporate segment was established on January 1, 2015 to reflect the activities of centralized functions in our corporate headquarters and to capture results in a manner that the chief operating decision maker reviews. The corporate segment primarily consists of general and administrative expenses incurred in our corporate headquarters, costs associated with corporate development initiatives, legal expense, interest expense, foreign exchange gains or losses, and other centrally-managed costs. Additionally, effective January 1, 2015, we changed the allocation methodology applied to research and development expense. The 2014 and 2013 segment results have been recast to conform with current period presentation. The Company's sales are allocated to each country based primarily on the destination of the end-customer. Reportable segment information is presented in the following table:
