Segment Information | 15. Segment Information Reportable Segments The Company evaluates the performance of, and allocates resources to, its segments based on sales, gross profit and operating profit. The Company reports assets on a consolidated basis to the chief operating decision maker, which is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s reportable segments have been identified based on commonality of end markets, customers, applications and technologies amongst the Company’s individual product lines, which is consistent with the Company’s operating structure, associated management structure, and management compensation programs. The Company previously operated in three reportable segments: Laser Products, Precision Motion and Technologies and Semiconductor Systems. The Company committed to a plan for the sale of the Semiconductor Systems and Laser Systems businesses in the second quarter of 2012. As a result, these businesses have been reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. As a result of the NDS acquisition and restructuring activities, the Company realigned its reportable segments into two segments: Laser Products and Precision Technologies. The segment realignment resulted in the scanning solutions product line being moved to the Laser Products segment and added NDS to the Precision Technologies segment. The segment realignment was based on the following factors: (i) customers and sales channel overlap; (ii) commonality amongst customer applications; (iii) allocation of resources, as the Company has a Group President for each of its two reportable segments who is held accountable for the overall results of the respective segment; (iv) consistency with the structure of the Company’s senior management non-equity incentive program for each segment’s senior management; (v) grouping together those product lines whose organizational and operating cost structures we expect will be consolidated in the future; and (vi) meetings between the chief operating decision and the two segment Group Presidents to review the operating performance of each segment and to allocate resources. Reportable segment financial information has been revised based on the circumstances outlined above. The remaining reportable segments and their principal activities consist of the following: Laser Products The Laser Products segment designs, manufactures and markets photonics-based solutions to customers worldwide. The segment serves highly demanding photonics-based applications such as cutting, welding, marking, medical diagnosis and treatment, and scientific research. The vast majority of the segment’s product offerings are sold to OEMs. The segment sells these products both directly utilizing a highly technical sales force and indirectly through resellers and distributors. Precision Technologies The Precision Technologies segment designs, manufactures and markets medical visualization solutions and imaging informatics products, medical printers, optical encoders, air bearing spindles, and light and color measurement instrumentation to customers worldwide. The vast majority of the segment’s product offerings are sold to OEMs. The segment sells these products both directly utilizing a highly technical sales force and indirectly through resellers and distributors. Reportable Segment Financial Information Sales, gross margin, gross profit margin and operating income by reportable segments are as follows (in thousands):
