Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The Company’s operating and reporting structure consists of two reportable segments, Consumer Packaging and Industrial Paper Packaging, with all remaining businesses reported as All Other. The products produced and sold within the Consumer Packaging segment are generally used to package a variety of consumer products and consist primarily of round and shaped rigid paper, steel and plastic containers; and metal and peelable membrane ends, closures, and components. The primary products produced and sold within the Industrial Paper Packaging segment include paperboard tubes, cones, and cores; paper-based protective packaging; and uncoated recycled paperboard. The primary products produced within the All Other group of businesses consist of a variety of packaging materials, including plastic, paper, foam, and various other specialty materials. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer. The CODM assesses segment performance and allocates resources to each segment by using each segment’s operating profit. The CODM uses operating profit for each segment in the annual budgeting and forecasting process and reviews segment operating profit quarterly when making decisions about allocating capital and operating resources to segments. Disaggregated assets by segment are not disclosed since segment assets are not regularly provided to the CODM. Segment operating profit viewed by the Company to evaluate segment performance does not include the following: restructuring/asset impairment charges; amortization of acquisition intangibles; gains/losses from the sale of businesses or other assets; acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs; changes in last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory reserves; derivative gains/losses; or certain other items, if any, the exclusion of which the Company’s management believes improves the comparability and analysis of the ongoing operating performance of the business. All other general corporate expenses have been allocated as operating costs to each of the Company’s reportable segments and the All Other group of businesses, except for costs related to discontinued operations. The following table sets forth financial information about each of the Company’s reportable segments:
