Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segments | Segments The Company currently reports its financial results in two reportable segments, Food and Protective. The Company’s Food and Protective segments are considered reportable segments under FASB ASC Topic 280. Our Food and Protective segments are aligned with similar groups of products. The following is a brief description of our reportable segments: Food — Food solutions are sold to industrial food processors in fresh red meat, poultry, smoked and processed meats, seafood, fluids and liquids, cheese and other food markets worldwide. Food offers integrated packaging materials and automated equipment solutions to increase food safety, extend shelf life, reduce food waste, automate processes, and optimize total cost. Its materials, automated equipment and service enable customers to reduce costs and enhance their brands. Food solutions are utilized by food service businesses (such as restaurants and entertainment venues) and food retailers (such as grocery stores and supermarkets), among others. Protective — Protective packaging solutions are utilized across many global markets to protect goods during transit and are especially valuable to e-commerce, consumer goods, pharmaceutical and medical devices and industrial manufacturing. With automated equipment, high-performance materials, and services, our solutions are designed to increase our customers' packaging velocity, minimize packaging waste, reduce labor dependencies and address dimensional weight challenges. Our product breadth combined with our global scale and reach helps support our customers' needs for sustainability, performance excellence, consistency and reliability of supply wherever they operate around the world. Protective solutions are sold through a strategic network of distributors as well as directly to our customers, including, but not limited to, fabricators, original equipment manufacturers, contract manufacturers, logistics partners and e-commerce/fulfillment operations. Our segments are each led by a segment president. Resources are allocated and the performance of our Food and Protective segments are assessed by our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), whom we have determined to be our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). Sealed Air’s CODM evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources based on Gross profit, which is our measure of segment profitability most closely aligned with the Consolidated Financial Statements. For both the Food and Protective segments, the CODM uses segment Gross profit in the annual budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM considers segment Gross profit budget and forecast to actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating capital and operating resources to segments. The Company allocates certain expenses within Cost of sales to each segment based on various factors including direct usage of resources, square footage occupied, allocation of headcount, or, in cases where costs are not clearly delineated, costs may be allocated on portion of net trade sales. The Company allocates and discloses total depreciation and amortization expense to our segments, although only cost of sales depreciation and amortization is included in the measure of segment profitability, Gross profit. We also allocate and disclose restructuring charges by segment, although they are not included in the measure of segment profitability, Gross profit. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards.” The following table shows Net sales by reportable segment:
