Business Segments And Foreign Operations

Note 13.  Business Segments and Foreign Operations

 

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on sales and operating income. The Company is organized on the basis of geographical area into the following three segments: the Americas; EMEA; and Asia-Pacific. Segment data does not include inter-segment revenues. Unallocated corporate expenses are general corporate overhead expenses not directly attributable to the operating segments and are reported separate from the Company’s identified segments. The corporate overhead costs include expenses for the Company’s accounting and finance, information technology, human resources, research and development, quality control and executive management functions, as well as all direct costs associated with public company compliance matters including legal, audit and other professional services costs.

 

The Company has updated the financial information previously reported for the business segments to separate out the unallocated corporate expenses. These amounts were included within the Americas segment in the Company’s previously reported business segment information. In addition, effective September 1, 2013, the Company transitioned the management of our India operations to the EMEA segment.  As a result, the India financial results are now being included in the EMEA segment for all periods presented. These amounts were previously included within the Asia-Pacific segment in the Company’s reported business segment information. Summary information about reportable segments is as follows (in thousands):
