(1) | All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Sales to Walmart Inc. and subsidiaries amounted to approximately 13.7%, 13.5% and 10.9% of consolidated net sales in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, substantially across all segments.
(2) | Operating income (loss) by segment is net sales less cost of products sold and selling, general & administrative expenses (“SG&A”). Operating income by geographic area is net sales less cost of products sold, SG&A, impairment charges and restructuring costs. Certain headquarters expenses of an operational nature are allocated to business segments and geographic areas primarily on a net sales basis. Depreciation and amortization related to shared assets is allocated to the segments on a percentage of sales basis, and the allocated depreciation and amortization is included in segment operating income.
(3) | Geographic sales information is based on the region from which the products are shipped and invoiced. Long-lived assets by geography are not presented because it is impracticable to do so.
